state police patrol center and
the area office of the public
utilities commissioner.
Later this year, the Oregon
motor vehicle license depart
ment will move to the new
structure.
. .The new building gives
state police and the PUC. .con
siderable more space. Stale
police moved to the new build
ing next door to the old of
fice Friday. The PUC moved
Saturday from its building at
1133 South Riverside ave.
Half of the building is being
used by the state police, giv

space than before. The inter
ior is mainly painted light
green and cream with acousti
cal tile ceilings.
In Squad Room
The enlarged areas are
mainly in the squad room

Hardships Seen in
Teacher Pay Bill
Salem - (UPll - Members .of

school districts already hard
pressed by adverse economic
conditions.
. Ted Jacobs of Tillamook,
V. E. Goin of Jefferson, and
Eugene Fisher of the associa
tion opposed SB60 before the
Senate State and Federal Af
fairs committee.

would have to hike salaries
to meet schedules spelled out
in the bill.
The bill, sponsored by Sen.

increase minimums for teach
ers without a bachelor's de
gree from $3,400 a year to
$3,600; those with a BA from
$3,700 to--$4,000; and those
with a master's degree from

MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD,
In the Day's News
By FRANK
From Salem:-
A measure has been intro
duced in the house of repre
sentatives of the Oregon Leg
islature whose purpose is to
permit counties, cities and
OTHER POLITICAL SUBDI
VISIONS to decide whether
they want to initiate daylight
saving time in their own
areas.
May heaven save us from
that mess! We had enough
with it a dozen years or so
ago. In that never-to-be-forgotten
period, practically ev
ery county, every city, every
town and even every school
district was apt to have its
own time.
It was AWFUL!
BUT ,
It might be a good idea
to permit Oregon counties
bordering on stale lines to
name their own time. That
would avoid a lot of confu
sion in trading areas divided
by state boundaries. The Med
ford, Klamath Falls and Lake
view areas are good examples
of the confusion that results
when there is Standard time
on one side of the line and
Daylight time on the other.
Frank Tarr, of Weyer
haeuser's Klamath Falls plant,
told the Klamath County
Chamber of Commerce the
other day that his firm loses
about four hours out of each
working day in dealings with
firms in California because of
differences in opening and
closing times and lunch hours.
- Presumably the trading
areas along the Oregon-Washington
boundary have the
same trouble. It is a frightful
nuisance, Down this way, we
certainly hope the Oregon leg
islature can see its way clear
to do something about it.
FROM Los Angeles:
Dr. Frank C. Baxter, Eng
lish professor at the Univer
sity of Southern California,
told the Los Angeles County
Bar Association the other day
that Americans seem to be
becoming non-book readers.
He added: "One out of every
three American college grad
uates DIDN'T READ A BOOK

JENKINS
In 1958, when a nation-wide
book-reading survey was
made. Some of those who did
read a book barely got under
the wire with 'Lolita' or Erie
Stanley Gardner. One of every
two Americans doesn't read a
book a year."
DR. BAXTER warned his
audience that "it is very
doubtful if you, your children
or your grandchildren will
know peace, security or even
predictability (mean ing by
that a fairly accurate estimate
of what is going to happen
next) in your day."
He then gave his hearers
what he called "the best prep
aration for keeping on an
even keel during these years
to come." This is his recipe:
"A full mind, a broad mind
and a ready wit."
IT ISN'T a bad recipe. And
. . . READING BOOKS
is its most important ingredi
ent. About a half century ago.
Andrew Lang, in his "Old
Friends," put the same
thought in these words:
"When others fail him, the
wise man looks
"To the sure companionship
of books."
HMMMMMMM.
Do you reckon the situa
tion is as dark as Dr. Baxter
paints it?
It is probably true that
modern Americans read fewer
books than their ancestors did.
But they read MORE maga
zines. And they read MORE
newspapers. In the earlier
days of our nation, magazine
circulations were quite small.
Now they are immense. And
there are more magazines to
read.
In those earlier days, few
families read more than one
newspaper. Now nearly EV
ERY family reads several
newspapers. , For our own
good, of course, we ought to
read more books. But we
AREN'T as illiterate as Dr.
Baxter seems to think.
President
Likes Fish
And Gooey Desserts
Washington- IUPD -President
Kennedy is a fish chowder
man-and that's Just an appe
tizer.
Actually, he is an adven
turer in eating.
And he goes in for gooey
desserts with lots of whipped
cream, according to the First
Lady's press secretary, Pa
mela Turnure, who brought
the word back from the
White House kitchen.
Since she moved into the
White House, 31-year-old Jac
queline Kennedy has passed
on the President's favorite
recipes to the chef in the ex
ecutive mansion, whose name
is kept secret.
Brought Cook Bocks
Mrs. Kennedy,' who takes
personal charge of the menus
for small family dinners,
brought along the recipe card
file and cookbooks she had in
her Georgetown home kitch
en. .
The big formal dinners at
the White House are planned
by the First Lady and her
social secretary, Letitia Bald
ridge, who puts heavy accent
on French cuisine when offi
cial guests come to dine.
President Kennedy was on
his biggest fish chowder kick
during the campaign. He used
to set out from his George
town house with a thermos
jug of it. Mrs. Kennedy had
it made up in batches and
stored in a freezer for fre
quent occasions when her hus
band would come home with
a crowd of unexpected guests.
Unlike some women, Mrs.
Kennedy is not possessive of
her prize recipes. Here's the
recipe: ' .
Fish Chowder '
2 lbs. haddock; 1 bay leaf,
crumbled; 2 oz. diced salt
pork; 1 quart milk; 2 onions
sliced; 2 tablespoons butter;
4 large potatoes diced; 1 tea
spoon salt; 1 cup chopped
celery; freshly ground pepper.
Simmer haddock in 2 cups
water for 15 minutes. Drain.
Reserve broth. Remove bones
Kennedy
Chowder
from fish. Saute diced pork
until crisp, remove and set
aside. Saute onion in pork
fat until golden brown. Add
fish, potatoes, celery, bay leaf,
salt and pepper. Pour in fish
broth, plus enough boiling
water to make three cups
liquid. Simmer 30 minutes.
Add milk and butter. Simmer
five minutes. Serve, sprinkled
with diced pork. Serves six.
Another Kennedy family
favorite true to their. New
England heritage is:
Baked Seafood Ca--orole
1 pound crab-mat and lob
ster meat combined; 1 pound
cooked and deveined shrimp;
1 cup mayonnaise; V4 cup
chopped green peppers; Vi
cup minced onion; 1V4 cups
finely chopped celery; V4 tea
spoon Worcestershire sauce;
2 cups crushed potato chips;
paprika.
Mix ingredients all together
as though making a seafood
salad. Fill baking pan and
completely cover with cruhs
ed potato chips. Sprinkle with
paprika and bake at 400 de
grees from 20 to 25 minuates.
Twelve servings. :
Still another favorite is:
Hoi Fruit Dessert
3 small cans apricots; 3
small cans pineapple pieces;
3 small cans peaches; 3 num
ber two size pitted bing cher
ries; 3 oranges; 3 lemons; Va
cup light brown sugar.
Grate rind of oranges and
lemons into sugar. Spread
fruits layer by layer including
oranges and lemons sliced
very thin in baking . dish,
sprinkle each layer with sug
ar mixture and a sprinkling
of nutmeg. Heat all until very,
hot and serve topped with
some sour cream.
