SUNDAY, JUNE 10. 1961 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD.. OREGON 8 f. Vcni-Vidi By MARGARET SCHtJLER Roma - The Bersaglierl is a gpecial troop of young Ital ian soldiers, quite unique in that they always run. They drill, march and maneuver -always running. They slop on-a split second, and are so perfectly coordinated as to seem automatic - like toys. - As they run, they blow trumpets - a fanfare. They wear hats, like ladies' hats -broad brimmed black patent leather, trimmed on one side with bunches of shining black, curly feathers, they wear black gloves, in memory of (I am told) the general who organized the troop in 1812. They are the avante garde in battle. I saw these soldiers per form at a benefit for the Ital ian Red Cross (Croce Rosa Italiana), .vhich was held at the race track in the Borg ' hese Gardens, d was adver tised as the "Carouscle." . Other spectacles at the Carouscle were troops dress ed to represent various mili tary forces of Italy since the 17th century, and it was cer tainly a colorful picture -from the elaborately periwig ged fashion of the time of Napoleon, through the Austrian-Hungarian period down through the second world war to modern khaki. They marched in and around the ring to drum beat. Also came, on their horses, into the arena the elegant, hand- mine Carboneiri, in their long-tailed, Uack, red-trimmed uniforms and hats, and their glittering swords. Their performance, which consists of galloping, trotting and marching to rhythm, remind ed me of the Spanish Lip plzan Riding school exhibi tions - and were equally beautiful, I :.iought, ' With the back drop of stately Italian cypress and the tall ubiquitous Umbrella pines, we. sat anr1 watched. We looked about at the gay, In souciant Italians, their hap py, laughing children, the ' young (arms around each other) couples. On this ideal Spring afternoon, the care free marching troops seemed but figures. It was incongru ous that each representation portrayed a time of tragedy, deppair and poverty; that these same pines had stood, Impervious through the many years, to th vicissitudes of time and that the sun had set through the many years, tip ping the trees with the same gloriously dramatic red, as it- did on this satisfying eve ning. Another benefit for the Italian Red Cross this week is at the BarbcrinI palace. It Is a di play (as we have at home) of flower and table settings. And what a display! With wall-sized oil paintings, giant-sized Venetian glass chandeliers, antique period furniture, the tables, dishes and linens (the beauty of which I couldn't have con jured even in a dream) be came almost bewildering. Table after table reprerented every kind of decoration from a hunter's feast with a cen terpiece of a stuffed boar's j . head, pheasants, rabbits, and vegetables with correspond ingly appropriate painted dishes wilh fowl, fruit and vegetables - to one with a centerpiece of 15 sterling sil ver fish of various kinds, measuring a least 12 Inches in length and sitting on little standards. The dishes here, corre sponded likewise. There were grand tables of silver, tables of gold, of pink and white, of lavender, of red, of blue. There were little tables, then were trays for "my lady's" breakfast. There was the sheerest of linens, floor length, with film like embroi dery. And I - even bewildered though I was - had a vision of them twirling around in an American washing machine. I figured how much It would cost, and the hours it would lake to iron one of these dreams. It Is another world! Thank goodness, not our: where women ctill work for 16 cents an hour - Ironing and washing. The three to sin crystal wine glasses for each place do not go into electric dishwashers either. We Americans contributed our share for the Italian Red Cross also - as we do every where - a big share. In this Instance we had (across a lit tle bridge Into the palace gardens) an American drug store, where you coi.ld buy little commodities that are typical of our country. And I had a piece of good old Amer ican apple pic with , topping of home made Ice cream. There was a hot dog stand, a Cola booth and a lottery with wonderful prizes contributed by business concerns such as Pan-Am, American Express, Merrill Lynch, etc. Joan Craw ford officiated at the lottery. She Is here, as a director of j Pepsi-Cola, to assist in open ing a new branch here.

With the bottle at a 45-de- gree angle, first loosen the wire hood by untwisting the loop of wire on top. Remove wire and the top of the foil capsule in a single motion. But keep a thumb atop the cork to prevent its popping out unexectedly. Usually, only a slight twist does the trick after this, with inside pressure forcing the cork out. If it appears stuck, just ap ply upward pressure simul taneously with both thumbs to loose the mushroom part of the cork from the bottle neck, and hold the cork tightly as it leaves the bottle.
