' '" Plymouth's built-in durability lets you spread the enjoyment of its lasting value . . over the entire span of its active ; life on the road. That's "mile-years." That's the beauty of the Solid Plymouth. FEBRUARY 10, 1961 The Western Pacific Rail road Co. has only 1,200 miles of mainline, track,' but its strategic location in California provides a lucrative rail link eastward. The two major contenders for control of Western Pacific are the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway . Co. in Chicago and the Southern Pacific Co. in San Francisco. Meanwhile, other interested roads are lining up behind one or the other of these two carriers in an effort to tip the balance in the struggle. Part of Through Routs Western Pacific, head quartered in San Francisco, forms an important part of a through route from the' Pa cific Coast to Chicago. The Santa Fe, which has no such central route east ward, connects up with the Western Pacific in California. The Southern Pacific has main trackage eastward via Ogden, Utah. Though shorter than the competing WP's route which terminates at Salt Lake City, the right of way is steeper and therefore J less efficient, Consequently the Southern Pacific is fearful that if Santa Fe gains control of Western Pacific it will cut deeply Into its California traffic to and from the East. I . . The Santa , Fe, at the mo ment, appears to have the edge in the battle. It owns 20 per- cent of WP's stock and. also has the support of the Great Northern which owns about' 8.6. per . cent of the WP's outstanding stock. In addition the WP management is supporting the Santa Fe's bid. ..'.: ' SP Owns 10 Par Cent ' Southern Pacific owns 10 per cent of WP shares and the Union Pacific, which Is sup porting SP, recently, said it has bought 9.0 per cent of the carrior's stock. Southern Pacific also has picked up the support of two other western railroads - the Chicago, Rock Island and Pa cific Railroad Co. and the Denver and Rio Grande West-. em Railroad. , , This week the ICC held preliminary hearings on the conflicting claims, and is ex pected 'to fix a date sometime in the spring or summer for a full ICC hearing on the com plicated matter. ll t tjih 1 ammmmmlt-' ''.1 I w I A CHRYSLER-ENGINEERED PRODUCT rmm ON ELEPHANT RIDE-Prime Minister Prince Boun Gum Na Champassak of Laos rides atop an elephant, during a festival near the site of a 13th century , Buddhist temple.

' MEDFORD Feeding the Family By ZOLA VINCENT Washington Split Pea Soup Is Mnu Treat - Few realize that nearly all of our country's split peas are grown in a relatively small area located in eastern Wash ington and adjoining .Idaho; in a strip 25 miles wide and 60 miles long. Split peas are a top soup making favorite. They are -an exceptionally good buy, nutritionwise and budgetwise. . Split peas enjoy great popu larity in soup because they break up easily during cook ing; need no soaking. Most packages . have recipes for easily prepared split pea soup, usually beginning with a ham bone with chopped onion add ed. Soup Variations Instead of using a ham bone, cook one-half to one . cup chopped ham with the split peas. Or use ham broth in which' ham has been cooked in place of ham bone and water. Frankfurter' rounds are often served with split peas. 1 . For a thick soup, put split peas through a sieve before adding the meat from ham bone or other meat. Mix two teaspoons flour with a little water and stir into the soup; boil one minute, stirring con stantly. Salt pork, bacon, tomatoes and other good old time-tested baked bean flavorings of fer further variety, Personal ly, we re partial to a generous squeeze of lemon juice. , Cinnamon Toast Short cut for cinnamon toast is to blend one cup but ter or margarine, two cups brown sugar and one table spoon ground cinnamon thoroughly; makes two cups spread. Store in refrigerator. When cinnamon toast time comes, toast one slice of bread under broiler, turn and spread with cinnamon butter, then return to broiler for a few seconds to heat the cinnamon spread. Aroma will bring fam ily to breakfast fast.

Ham, the popular cured, smoked portion that grows aft on the pig changes also in style, catering to the consumer. We attempt to bring order out of the con fusion of ham designations. There are only two kinds of ham sold in most ' retail stores today. They are: fully cooked or cook-before-eating hams. Your meat packer to day is branding hams with one or the other of these terms for your easy reference, quick choosing. Fully cooked hams can be served cold without further, cooking. Or if you prefer, they may be reheated in all of the customary ways. Canned hams are also fully rooked and may be served cold or reheat ed according to desire of the hour. Cook-before-cating hams re quire additional cooking be-' fore being served. When it comes to styles, there are bone In, skinless, shankless (only the shank re moved and the meat skinned J and trimmed of excess fat); scmi-bonelcss; boneless; bone- j less-skinless (shaped into rolls) MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, rood Editor also boneless and skinless. All of these are available in va rious sizes.- . Refrigerate all- hams at 40 degrees or lower. Like all meats, ham is best when used promptly. It is not recom mended that ham be frozen. Vegetable . leaders are po tatoes, onions, green and red cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, celery, winter squash, turnips, rutabages. Lettuce seems to have weathered the recent storms very well; is of ex cellent quality, reasonable in price. Winter tomatoes are surprisingly good; featured at lower than usual for time of year. . . February fruits are limited in variety to apples, avocados, bananas, grapefruit, grapes, oranges', lemons. For other varieties, there are many good canned "specials". Meat and poultry situation remains about the same. Lamb quality is excellent. Fish and shellfish, offer menu variety with cod, Dunge ness crabs, fish sticks, floun der, halibut, oysters, rockfish, sablefish, salmon, scallops and shrimp.

Conditions in Red Ashland M ore than 100 members of the Siskiyou Knife and Fork club were al ternately amused and alarmed by the address of Dr. No-Yong Park Tuesday night. The speaker presented an analysis of conditions in the Orient, while maintaining a philosophical viewpoint. Although Dr. Park, a grad uate of Harvard university and a naturalized American citizen, claims to be no mod ern, Confucious, he possesses a pungent wit and a facile tongue plus a keen under standing of political affairs. Dr. Park contrasted condi tions in Red China with those of affluent America, describ ing commune life that now supplants the ancient way of Chinese family tradition, painting a vivid picture of de struction and forced labor. Warns Against Propaganda He warned against the cur rent propaganda that condi tions in China have been im proved under Communism. ' "If you would find happi ness, pack up your bag and go not to Hawaii or Florida, but to an underprivileged country and' live among and like the natives," advised the speaker, continuing "If you want to taste the blessings of Paradise, slip down and feel the heat of Inferno." . 1 He differs sharply with the new administration on its ap proach to recognition of Red China, saying that China ought not to be allowed to shoot its way into the United Nations, and adding "Who says China wants to come into the U.N.? She is doing very well on the outside with Rus sia attaching from the inside." Foreign aid he labeled as "a fabulous fraud" that makes for enemies and could better be carried on by dozens of other agencies if this country is so anxious to assist. He re marked that were he the President his first proclama tion would be to cut off every foreign aid dollar. The paradox of misery in the midst of plenty, of abund ance in America, and, the fu tility of materials rather than Residential Appraisers To Vleet on Tuesday The Southern Oregon chap ter of the Society of Residen tial Appraisers will meet Tuesday, Feb. 14, at 6:30 p.m. in the Medford hotel for a no host dinner followed by a program on amortization and capitalization. Robert Kyle, Medford, will serve as moderator of a panel in which Gene Whittier, Grants Pass; John Billings, Ashland, and Ray Schumach er, Medford, will discuss var ious phases of the subject. SCCDutT SLE! China Described At sniritual wealth were stressed by the speaker. "Real happiness cannot De taken like a package," Dr. Park said. "It is a do-it-yourself project. It cannot be hand ed down to your children and grandchildren." He recalled his only boyhood toys, shells picked up on the seashore, as contrasted to the surfeit of the average American child, who has so much that he is dis contented with everything. During the question and answer period the speaker dis cussed the Formosa problem and expressed the opinion that any threat of invasion would prove Red China's Waterloo. He also declared that U.S. de fense of land-locked Laos would be "an extremely dan gerous venture."
