New York A food consultant from Twin Falls, Ida., Mrs.

national cruisine with locally plentiful products. The new
dishes are the first innovations in kosher cookery in cen

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

they featured were wines, al

fruits, vegetables, poultry and
fish.
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. It has

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.
