Meat Cookery Research has proven that a constant low temperature pro duces juicier, more tender meat with less shrinkage than the old method of roasting in which the meat was first scar ed in a very hot oven and then roasted at a reduced tem perature for the remainder of the period. Yes, we know we ve talked about this for years, but there still are (otherwise) good cooks who start with high temperatures and shrink the roast unnecessarily.

Mark O. Hatfield's recommendation for reorganization of the ex ecutive branch of Oregon's government were reviewed in Medford yesterday by Travis Cross, his assistant and press secretary. Mr. Cross spoke for the February meeting of Med ford unit, Oregon Federation of Women's Republican clubs. Mr. Cross prefaced the re view by pointing out that the reorganization plan has grown out of the "Little Hoover" commission and a directive by the 1959 session of the state legislature 'ordering the gov ernor to prepare the reorgan ization plan. The speaker said the com pleted plan incorporates many of the ideas of the Little Hoov er commisssion, with a few of Gov. Hatfield s own. In ad dition, a reorganization ad visory committee, made up of both Democrats and Republic ans, reviewed the governor's proposals and issued a report. Six Departments Mr. Cross stated that the plan calls for setting up six general departments for the state a cabinet form of gov- Officers Installed By Group Installation of officers was held at a meeting of Cebu swamp, Military Order of the Lizards, Sunday, February 12, at the VFW hall in Grants Pass.

The gov ernor's assistant said this would not increase the gov ernor's "power" but would in reality lessen it. Since going into office, Governor Hatfield has made about 560 appoint ments, he said; under the new plan, appointments would be cut to about 70. With the new plan, the states governor "will know more about what is going on" and yet will not be burdened unduly with a host of minor appointments and administra tive details, the speaker said. As outlined in the report, the six recommended depart-. ments are labor, commerce, social services, public safety, transportation and utilities, and natural ' resources. Mr. Cross said there is real need for the new department of commerce, and that he be lieves it will be set up by this legislature. Noting that under the plan the present board of contol would be abolished, Mr. Cross said that his listeners should "give a lot of thought to this." He asked the audience to re member that during the last session of the legislature, Governor Hatfield had vetoed a bill to abolish the board, since he felt the plan pro posed at that time had not been a good one. Mr. Cross said the present state institutions and bureaus would be grouped together in to logical categories, such as education, correction and health. It is reasonable to group the various social serv ice agencies together, he de clared. Discussing the proposed de partment of natural resources, Mr. Cross said "it is in for tough sledding." Says "No Feud" Early in his talk Mr. Cross emphasized that Governor Hatfield and Secretary of State Howell Appling "are not feuding" but that Secretary Appling merely objects to some parts of the reorganiza tion plan. Noting that Secre tary Appling objects to some of the groupings, and to doing away with the board of con trol, Mr. Cross said that Mr. Appling stresses the harmony of the present board. Harm ony hasn't always prevailed in the past, the speaker add ed. Speaking on other subjects, Mr. Cross praised Legislators John Dellenbnck and Lyndel Newbry of Jackson county and particularly commended the former for returning to Medford over the week end to meet constltutents. He said this went along with Gover nor Hatfield's plan to "put government on the road" and making officials available to the people. Trip Planned Mrs. Edward Sickels intro duced the speaker, and Mrs. E. A. Littrell, president, pre sided. concerning a new publication conernlng a new publication distributed to the member ship. Called a "legislative di gest and political score sheet,' it is hoped that the publica tion can be made available several times each year. It was announced that March 16 has been set aside as Republican women's day at the legislature. A bus will be chartered, Mrs. Littrell stated, and at least 34 women are needed to make the trip feasi ble. Private cars will be sub stituted for the bus if neces sary. It is planned to travel to Salem March 15; the day's program will include a tour of the capitol, a luncheon at which the governor will speak and a tea at the gov ernor's home.

New York From around the country comes the news that the wash-a-terias are becoming the center of neighbor hood life. Women and even a few men play bridge; watch television, read or sit and gossip while the family washing goes through the automatic machines. Many of the patrons have machines at home, but prefer to take their washing to a place where ihey can find companionship, reports show. . . (UPI Telephoto) Neighborhood Centers : Around "Wash-a-teria" By CLAIRE COX United Press International New York-IUPD-The corner wash-a-teria is taking the place of the old country store as a neighborhood meeting place. Housewives-and sometimes their husbands-play bridge, read, watch television or sim ply sit and gossip while their weekly wash is done auto matically. Across the country, coin- operated laundries are spring ing up in nearly every com munity, offering a wide va riety of conveniences to their patrons. Some have playpens where children are kept occupied while their mothers tend to the wash. There are bulletin boards for the exchange of messages, advertisements and announcements of local churches. Piped in music, potted plants and coin-operated snack bars add lo the comfort of the women who sit and watch their wash tossed about in machines. Do Hair, Too Booths equipped with basins and hair driers have been installed in some wash-a-terias so women can wash, set and dry their hair in just about the time it takes washer and drier to turn out fresh linens. Jack A. Coleman, manager oi small Equipment Sales, a division of the century-old American Laundry Machine company, which sells fran chises for coin-operated laun dries, said there are about 25,000 corner wash-a-terias and .about 6,000 commercial laundries in the nation. The commercial laundries do about 17 to 23 per cent of all laundry; the coin-op erated establishments do 7 to 10 per cent and the rest is done in basements and laun dry rooms by housewives.

Studies of the domestic ac tivities of housewives also have disclosed that women do less and less ironing. More than 50 per cent of them have given up. the time-consuming practice of ironing sheets, he said, and a much larger number than that send their husbands' shirts out to be laundered. 1 The wash-a-teria has really come into its own since World War II, It started with small operations, each consisting of a wringer-type washer filled with a hose. Now the corner coin-operated laundry is a well - equipped neighborhood center, where the washing machine has replaced the old fashioned cracker barrel of days gone past. Need Gathering Place - "In modern living, there are very few places where people can gather to gossip,'' Coleman said. "This is a re turn to the old corner store gathering place. Women sit around, chatting or munching on something." Some of these laundry stores sponsor s bridge or canasta tournaments. Several have in troduced free-drying every Wednesday, which usually is the slowest day in the week.' One had a decorative fountain but this soon was filled with cement after a small boy dumped a box, of detergent in it, inundating the whole store with suds. "More than one of these corner laundries reports the biggest part of its trade is jaclleys Out J Did Use Your Charge Calendar Tuesday: 8:30 p.m.-Oregon chapter, Royal Arch Masons and Royal Arch Widows, Jacksonville Masonic temple. 7:30 p.m. - Chapter BE of PEO Sisterhood, home of Mrs. Arnel Butler, 28 Barneburg rd. 7:30 p.m. - Friend ship circle, Women of Moose, home of Mrs. Desmond Sweet, 2472 Edgemont drive. 8 p.m. - Crater Lake post and auxiliary, VFW, VFW hall. 8 p.m. - Westminster Pres byterian church Women's As sociation circle: Esther, with Mrs. William Wilson, 325 Lyn wood ave.

Mrs. Krebs read an article in the Holiday Magazine by James Warner Bellah, entitl ed, "Alaska." The author, who has lived in Alaska more than 30 years, covers a visit to the land where superlatives are commonplace and gives a sweeping picture of the coun try's "northernmost, western most, biggest and ruggedest state." Alaska was purchased from Russia in 1867 for $7,200,000. It was given a territorial dis trict government in 1884 and enlarged political powers in 1906, and in 1912 Congress passed an act creating a leg islative assembly. The author states that James Wickersnam, a United States district judge, was sent to Alaska to look after the interests of the people and later he was a 'delegate to Congress from Alaska; it was he who introduced the first statehood bill in 1916, 42 years before the final pas sage. Alaska has been called, in the language of its older peo ple the "Big Land." Mrs. Rynning read an ar ticle about, "Uncle Sam's Bar gain Auctions." The auctions are held once a year in a few large cities to dispose of mer chandise sent through the mail and impossible of deliv ery, xne articles consisting oi clothing, household articles and whatnot, are held 30 days to six months while investiga tion is made to trace owner, then they are put up for sale to the highest bidder and sold as is for cash, no returns. The auctions are not advertised exceDt for a small newsnaDer notice; people experienced in such things, find "wonderful -bargains."
