(UPI Telephoto) The Sour Little Lemon Hai A Definite Place Until the turn of the cen tury just about all lemons were shipped into the U.S., from Italy. Before that they were scarce, ana rainer ex pensive. No one was particularly in terested in this citrus fruit. Being exceedingly sour, they received the reputation, of be ing unwanted. About then, anything that was misrepre sented, or wholly or partially worthless, was called a lem on" whether it was an auto mobile or an egg-beater. But the lemon (it is not a fruit but a large ber-r.v) proved to be an immigrant with a de termination to makei good. Its popularity mounted year by year until today the lemon in dustry is big business. Until but a few years ago California raised about all the lemons consumed in this country. They were sent into every state, and the housewife found many advantages in cooking when she could go to her cup board and get one of these yellow, egg-shaped fruits. Garden Exotic Then other states with a mild temperature began plant ing lemon trees. The lemon tree has proved to be a little less hardy than some others. It demands a climate where frost and too chill a wind do not slow their growth or dam age the foliage or fruit. The tree is usually smaller than that of the orange or grapefruit with more of a spreading nature. The white, rather fragrant blossoms napg in clusters. The ripe fruit con tains from six to 10 per cent citric acid, which adds the refreshing taste to cooling drinks and, of course, a deli cious tartness to confections and pastry. a The "oil of lemon" that is pressed from the rind is often used as the basis of perfumes and for flavorings. Lemon iuice has proved to be a rich source of vitamin C, and many folks who have experimented a little with lemons have found a new treat in a deli cious concoction called "lem on milk."

Mrs. Salthew, abolut 7, had been towed to about ,CB0 feet, officials at the field said, and had been flying the glier for about 10 minutes when the accident occurred. An airfield spokesman said the woman was a member of the Boeing Flying club and had about'ivo months flying experience. He attributed the cause of the crash to an "air atal!' of the plane at about 1,0'ira) feet elevation as Mrs. Walthew was coming in for a landing. centers throughout the Soviet Small Worlds Around Us By Lynn M. Watkins (Register and Tribune Syndicate, 1961) they add the juice of one or two lemons depending on one's individual taste. " Replaces Buttermilk SFhis mixture is beaten in an electric mixer. The resultant drink is even tolerated by people with normally "weak digestions" and is reported to take the place of buttermilk. Within the last very !few years, the use of lemon juice mixed with vinegar has re ceived considerable credit for its medicinal qualities. It even adds zest to hot tea, as well as a codiment for fish, shrimp and sea foods. For a worthless item to be labeled a lemon is an injus tice, for this sour little guy certainly has a place in our society. Margaret Kept Out of Monastery Birr, Ireland - "tPD - Rigid monastic rules today kept Princess Margaret out of an Irish monastery she wanted to visit. Margaret, who is here to visit her in - laws, ran up against the regulation that no women are permitted in Mt. St. Joseph's Abbey unless they are heads of state or accom panying a head of state. The 30 -year -old nrincess wanted to visit Father Boylan, a religious author she ad mires. In order -to do so, she hoped to enter the enclosure of the monastery from which women are barred. , The princess could have en tered the section of the mon astery which is open to the public, but she decided against it because she is beginning to fear rubberneckert. When she asked if the Irish government could guarantee the privacy of such a visit, an official of the department said: "We can give no such euarantee." Thus far, Margaret has proved too big a public draw, ing card.

Elementary, High School Enrollment At Record Level By LOUIS CASSELS UPI Correspondent The start of a new year is a good time for taking stock, in education as well as bus iness. For the sake of perspective, let's take a look at what's happened to U. S. public schools, not only during the past year, but also during the past decade. The statistics are pretty startling, even to those who have been well aware that our school system was exper iencing a phenomenal growth. Record Enrollment Enrollment in public ele mentary and high schools now stands at a record high of 37,244,000. That's an increase of 1,200, 000 students over the past year. Since the 1950-51 academic year, our schools have absorb ed an additional 11,450,000 students - which is a lot of kids by any standtivd you wish to apply. Although we still have few er qualified teachers than we need, the record shows that we've done a remarkable job of expanding our profession al resources in this field over the past decade. In 1950-51, we had 927,617 classroom teachers. Today we have 1,408,962. The increase In teaching staff over the past decade (52 per cent) was larger than the Increase in enrollment (44 per cent). So we have made some progress in the direction of re ducing teacher-student ratios and bringing over-large class es down to manageable size. To recruit additional teach ers, school districts across the nation have had to raise sala ries, steadily and fairly sharply. According to figures com piled by the research division of the National Education As sociation, the average annual salary of instructional staff members was $3,120 in tne 1950-51 school year. This year it is $5,389 an increase of $2,263, or 72 per cent. Even when you take ac count of the rise in living costs, as measured by the con sumer prufe index, teacners have scored a reftl gain in pur chasing power of nearly 50 per cent during the past 10 years. Salary Going Up And their salary level is still going up. The average teacher got a pay raise of 4.5 per cent during 1960. More students, more class rooms, more teacners ana higher salaries add up to a steep rise in educational costs. In 1950-51, U.S. taxpayers invested $6,520,000,000 on public schools. In 1960-61, the tab will be $16,476,000,000. That means that expendi tures for public schools have risen by 153(per cent during the decade. There's no sign that this trend is leveling off. During the past year, while enroll ment was rising 3.3 per cent, school costs rose by 7.8 per cent. e, Broken Water Main Floods Building Portland-iUPD-A water main broke unler the concrete floor of Centennial Mills Inc., here today and buckled the floor, cracked the foundation, filled the furnace room and caused at least one accident when It poured across the street and froze.

Holmes found that Kellen- berger was charging $1 per fare where there was more than one passenger in the limousine, in spite of a coun cil ruling that the charge must be $1.50 per fare. Holmes also noted that Kellcnberger should have known about the rates after Sept. 16 or 17, when they were explained to him by city officials. Holmes did say that Kcllenberger could have been confused prior to that time. Practice Prevalent Holmes' report tilso said that, "The practice has been prevalent to use the limou sine as a taxicaU though it is not licensed as such."

Ber nard Finch and his sweet- henll't, Carole Trcgoff, today begin the ordeal of going through their third trial in 13 months on charges of con spiracy and murdering the surgeon's socialite wife. The state claims Finch, 43, and the red-haired Miss Tre goff, 24, planned a "murder-for-hlre" scheme to get rid of Mrs. Barbara Jean Finch, 33, for the dual motived of love and money. When the scheme fell through, the Illicit lovers car ried lt out themselves by fa tally shooting Mrs. Finch on the lawn of her $65,000 sub urban West Covina home July 18, 1999, the suite charged. The defense claimed the shootlnff was accidental, com ing at the climax of a strug gle over a .38-caliber revolver between Finch and his wife.

Holmes did not recommend assessing any penalties to either of the companies. This is up to the council. Day, who filed the original complaint which led to the hearing, charges that, "they (Yellow Cab) continued with each and every practice that the limousine code was de signed to correct and regu late." Adopts Limousine Code The council adopted a lim ousine code last year af.ler a number of problems had arisen regarding the operation of limousines. Previously limousines had operated under the taxi cab provision of the code. Day contends that Yellow Cab's violations were "all done in bad faith."

"Any possible obligation the city may have owed to Mr. Kellcnberger, to permit him to compete for limousine business at the airport has been nullified by Mr. Kellen berger's own actions." Not Enough Business Day told the Mall Tribune that: "There is not enough of this type of business at tha airport to support two limou sine services. One of the serv ices will have to go. Because Medford Airport Limousine service was the first service to operate at the airport on a regularly scheduled basis, and because Yellow Cab Limou sine has consistently been in violation of the city code in operation of its limousine, we feel that Yellow Cab com pany's limousine operating license should be revoked." Day points out that revoca tion of Yellow Cab's limou sine license will not be put ting Kellenberger out of busi ness, because, he said, he will still have his taxi cab opera tion arid can concentrate use of his limousine on long-haul or out-of-town business. "But," Day says, "if the city council does not take Kellenberger's limousine li cense away from him next Thursday because of the vio lations, they might just as well flip a coin to see which one of us has to go."
