HOW MANY "MILE-YEARS" IN YOUR CAR?
' '" 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-.

This week the ICC held

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.
Cinnamon toast is" highly
esteemed with tea at tea time-
or anytime. 1 v

Changs in Ham Styles
Administrations change.
fashions change, the weather
changes. 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.

MANN'S SECOND FLOOR
ORE.
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 midst of plenty, of abund
ance in America, and, the fu

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!

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."
