Kosher Cooking Has First Change By JEANNE LESEM United Press International New York - IUPI) - A food consultant from Twin Falls, Ida., is helping Israel develop a distinctive national cuisine with locally plentiful prod ucts. The new dishes are the first changes in kosher cook ery in centuries, saia Mrs. Willetta Bar Man. The main Influences are European Jew ish and Middle Eastern, she said. Mrs. Bar-Man reached these conclusions in a survey of food and restaurant facili ties made at Israeli and United States government re quest to improve tourist re sources. . During a six-week visit, she said she found tourists unani mously critical of food and service in Independent and hotel restaurants, while res taurants were so eager to please that they tried - un successfully - to serve up to 30 different national dishes each. Featured Wines The only local specialties they featured were wines, al though I s r a e 1 l's abundant crops Include citrus and other n Portland Ashlnnd-Dr. and Mrs. Mar cus B.

The attractive young food expert said that chefs also continued their wartime and post-war austerity program of trying to prepare traditional dishes with substitute ingre dients. She said that she hoped to persuade them to drop heav ier European-type meals and Middle Eastern dishes In favor of lighter ones, better suited to Israel's moderate climate and tempo, which she likens to America's. She said she be lieved a cuisine could be de veloped that adhered to Jew ish dietary laws while bor rowing the best from other nations. A former magazine food writer, Mrs. Bar-Man suggest ed that Israel stage a chef's contest to create original dish es. She also recommended es tablishment of schools to train restaurant personnel, a food and catering trade fair and an Israeli cookbook. Mrs. Bar-Man will launch the program with recipes on a menu to be featured at the new Shernton-Tel Aviv hotel, opening March 20. Her Middle Eastern type dishes included chick-pea cro quettes with spicy sesame seed sauce, salad of cooked eggplant, raw green pepper and onion with chick pea and. sesame seed dressing and honey cake with sour cream topping. 1 European influence appear ed in avocado soup, derived from Spanish gazpncho; Aus trian-type sand torte with grape sauce; a sweet potato version of vlchyssoise, white potato and leek soup; and jel lied llsn soup, derived from gctilte fish. Two other dishes inmost wnouy Israeli were fish with bananas and al monds in sherry sauce and chicken in a sauce of orange Juice, onions, red wine and thyme. Mrs. Bar-Man said that she consulted home cooks as well as professional chefs, who were usually helpful. One chef in an orthodox hotel res taurant questioned the auth enticity of her job. But he was won over when she insisted: "This whole project is as kosher as my name."

Club to Observe 50th Anniversary Rogue River The fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the Rogue River Civic Im provement club will be celc brated at a tea to be held Fri day, March 10, in the Rogue River Civic clubhouse. The club is a unit of the Oregon Federation of Women's clubs Mrs. Edward Burkett, club president, has sent invitations to Mrs. Fred. C. Gast, Port land, president of the Oregon federation, to Mrs. Clay M. Lee, Medford, president of First district, and to the presi dents of seven district clubs in Ashland, Cave Junction, Grants Pass, Klamath Falls Medford and Talent. The civic club was founded March 8, 1911, when 12 wom en met and formed the Wood- ville Women's Civic Improve ment club. Mrs. J. P. Wief was elected president and the only other officer elected was the club secretary, Mrs. J. xi Jacobs. The other charter members of that group were Mesdames Eliza G o o d a 1 e Grace Bush Kathan, Annie Gilmore, Jane Smack, Lou Merriam, Julia Myers, Frank Streets, Martha Matthews and E. A. Woods, and Miss Sabe Booker. Name Changed At the time the club was founded the present city of Rogue River was called Woodville in honor of the first postmaster, John Woods. The Woodville post office was established February 8, 1876. Before that time this area had been served by a post office called Gold River, after the name of the river. Gold River post office was established April 18, 1855. The territorial government changed the name of Rogue River to Gold Hill in 1854 and reversed it self in 1855. The Gold River post office was the result of this action. It served the pio neers of both branches of Evans creek and the area lying along the river. In that era it seems that the post of fices were moved about to ac commodate the needs of the residents. If a gold strike caused the residents to move, the post office moved with them; thus a few years later when a small community was established a few miles to the east, the Gold River post of fise was supplanted by the New Woodville post office. Was Stop Over The town of Woodville, be ing situated on tr.a stage route from Jacksonville to the north, was a stop-over for this area. The waystation was a house built in 1872 by John Woods, and was for some time operated by him. Later the house was rebuilt into a hotel and called "The Wal dorf Rooms." This building is still in use today and is now known as "Waller's Inn." It was in this building that the first meeting of the civic club was held in 1911. The next year the name of the town was chnged from Woodville to Rogue River, on March 11, 1912. This name change was effected by a group of enterprising newly arrived business men who hoped to attract other East erners to settle here, and was accomplished over the pro tests of the earlier settlers and native Oregonlans. Some of those people who protested the name change are still resi dents of this area. The club founders were, for the most part, wives of East ern business and professional men who came here to invest in mining or in the new and booming industry of orchard planting. Those women felt the lack of some sort of orga nized social life so after a suc cessful campaign of making the streets more attractive by removing the clutter, they be gan their first project, the establishing of a public libr ary. Various methods of iund raising were used; ice cream socials were held and dona tions of books were accepted These activities served as the foundation for what is now an excellent small library.

PARKS, licensee been in and out of the Jack son county library system and is presently operating as an independent library of the city of Rogue River, Club Is Active In addition to the library, the Civic club participates in all of the local activities, such as the Community Chest, March of Dimes, the Rooster Crow, the annual teachers re ception at the beginning of the school year and contrib utes to whatever organiza tions needs its assistance. The Girl Scouts have been spon sored for 27 years. An annual project of the Civic club is the Senior breakfast when the graduating class of Rogue Ri ver High school and the fac ulty are honored. The Civic club became a member of the Oregon Fed eration of Women's Clubs in 1922. In supporting the pro gram of that organization the club is doing much more than the word civic might suggest, it is pointed out. Scholarships in art and mu sic are offered to high school students, in competition with other students; a nursing edu cation fund is supported; and through the conservation project the club has given as sistance in reforesting the devastated area of the Tilla mook Burn, When the twenty-fifth anni versary of the club was ob served March 9, 1936 at a luncheon in Rogue River, Mrs. Goodale, the only active charter member was present. Mrs. J. H. Jacobs, who at that time lived in Medford, was a guest. She was the first secre tary and read the report that she had written of the first club meeting in 1912. Forty five ladies attended that luncheon. Three Are Native Three active club members are natives of this area. Mrs. Jerusha Moore, who was re cently honored with a life membership card, was born in the Pleasant Creek area, near Wimer. Her daughter, Mrs. William White was born in Sams Valley. Mrs. John Breeding was born in the Foots Creek area.
