2 B THURSDAY, JULY 12. 1962 MLDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON St. Louis Seeks Consolidation Of City, County Government Bv LEO SOROKA United Pra International " St. Louis (UPII The "Show Me" state might place a gov ernment consolidation pro posal on the ballot. If adopt ed, the method used could be the guide for other long sought government mergers where. The controversial issue in volves the biggest city in Mis souri, St. Louis. The city is "hungry" for St. Louis county land. Former president Harry Truman doesn't live anywhere near St. Louis or St. Louis county, yet he'll be able to cast a vote on the consolida tion issue from his Independ ence, Mo., precinct. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch says: "St. Louis was separated from the county in 1875 by a state constitutional amend ment. What is so unfair about using that method to consoli date the two entitles?" Truman says the trouble began when "the people of St. Louis didn't want to be with us country folks and built a fence around the city." Ever since then, he said in answer to a UPI question, city folk "have been trying to tear down that fence." Plant Made At least three plans in suc ceeding years have been made to bring city and county to gether. All failed. The new plan aimed at merging under borough system Is being sought by amending the slate constitution. A group of city and county residents has organized the Missouri Committee for the Borough Plan to Reunite St, Louis. Once the proposal is on the election ballot in No vember, voters from all over the state will be able to de termine the fate of the city and county Opponents of the plan have commented, that it is "a most outrageous denial of the dem ocratic processes, a dictatorial approach to local govern ment." Charles P. Orchard, a leader in a consolidation movement here three years ago, says of the present plan: "lo place our economic, social and po litical future in the hands of voters in the Ozark Hills and elsewhere In the slate is some thing I cannot possibly recon cile with my beliefs." The proposed constitutional amendment calls for creation of a new political subdivision of Missouri to be known as the Municipal County of St Louis. Charles F. Vatlerott Jr. chairman of the plan, says it will take an amendment to the Constitution to restore uni ty "from the crazy-quilt pat tern of governments sur rounding the city. If approved, a year of tran sition would precede the con- a'b - "i , N! -'gf ixt1 1 4fe, .' f ... ' . . t8l ifi T" ' '-Z solldation. Mayors of the consolidating governme n t a 1 bodies and members of the various city, town and village legislative bodies all will go out of office. Economic reasons are given by unification sponsors, who say failure to provide a single government is a major factor in the community's lag behind competing metropolitan areas. Attorney James S. McClel lan, a vice chairman in the merger plan, says "changing the status quo always in volves agony." "Most of the agony," he said, "is coming from office holders who think their au thority is being impinged upon." County Supervisor James H. J. McNary has described the plan as a "metro monster" which would kill community life in the county. St. Louis Counly council man Edward E. Murphy Jr., said some features of the pro posed Borough plan were de sirable, but he said these can be achieved by other means instead of creating a "govern mental monstrosity." Criticizes Vote Not all county government leaders oppose the plan. May or Paul T. Koenig of Cresl wood said the plan "has some interesting possibilities." But he criticized the statewide vote. Dean Hiram H. Lesar of the Washington University School of Law said of the plan: "It Is Inconceivable that one gov ernment would not be more efficient than 115 govern ments." William R. Bascom, vice president of Granite City Steel Co., and former mayor of Ladue, in the county, said "multiplicity of governmental structures has been a deter rent to industrial development here for the last 25 years." Proponents also point to the national prestige of consolida tion. The last census showed the city's population at 750,- 026, the county s at 703,532. Combined they would give the city a population of almost 1.5 million and an area of 558 square miles, making St. Lou is the sixth largest in the country in area. ,y '' J- 7u . -WSJ.

He is a special student taking college chemistry. He is called an "experiment" by college officials. (UPI) 1 Sisters-Eugene Route Approved Salem -IIIPII- Stale Highway Engineer Forrest Cooper said Wednesday a rerouting of U.S. Highway 128 has been approved, providing an all weather highway for the route between Sisters and Eugene. The new route has been approved by the American Association of State Highway Officials. It will reroute the U.S. 126 designation from Sisters westerly over the Santiam Highway, making it concur rent with Highway 20. Then it will head south at the Clear Lake cutoff to Belknap Springs, where II will rejoin the McKcnzie Highway the present U.S. 126 and con tinue into Eugene. SUMMER SATISFACTION We put midsummer canta loupes in a glittering ring of lime-flavored gelatine and serve it with lemon-rind sprinkled, lightly sweetened dairy sour cream. Fried chicken, hot or cold, heaped high, completes this picture of summer satisfaction.

BEEF Fimily Order... s1298 The 1962 California mid summer cantaloupe crop is likely to top 8 million crates of luscious golden goodness. It is headed toward a peak right now. Midsummer canta loupes average mostly 36 lo the crate though there are some smaller ones that go 45 to a crate. So there's plen ty of cause for rejoicing in good cantaloupe eating ahead throughout summer and well into the Fall. Harvest of Washington state cantaloupes is just be ginning, will "peak" end of August. Oregon cantaloupe season really gels under way early in August, continues at best throughout September and well into October. Cantaloupes are harvested when fully ripe and ready to leave the vine at' a touch. Their stem is always clean. With the exception of a very small quantity of canta loupes that go into a mixed melon frozen pack, cantaloup es are used almost exclusive ly in the fresh slate. It is likely lhat most of them will be served wiih salt or pepper, sugar, lemon or lime juice, though they are superlative in combination with any num ber of fruits, berries and with other melon varieties. A half cantaloupe makes a natural bowl for berries or ice cream. Calories-Vitamins Cantaloupes have very few calories. Half an average-size midsummer cantaloupe con tains but 35 lo 40 calories. Vi tamins? Yes, Generous quan tities of pro vitamin A and ascorbic acid. Chill or No Chill To chill or noi to chill is a moot question. Some folks feel that the superb flavor of cantaloupes is best enjoved when served at room temper ature. Those who prefer "re freshment," 1 I kc to serve cantaloupes well chilled. Per haps some of each? Cantaloupe Glitter Ring is Pictured Ways with cantaloupe are many. As breakfast fruit, as an appciizer, salad, garnish for sandwiches, as- a dessert. Cantaloupe halves often house curried chicken, cubed lamb in a sweet-sour sauce, sherried veal, lobster New burg or other main course specialty. Today, we combine canta loupe with other fruits, mold it handsomely, serve it with a distinctive dairy sour cream diTt'siiiR.

The offer is of dubious value. Thomas said, because the two rich major parties who need it least would be the chief henefu-iai ics Often it is the third parly or independent candidate in a slate or district who discusses the really meaningful issues, Thomas said. Thomas told the Semite Com mil nicat ions Subi-onim li tre that the basic need In broadcasting is a new ap proach to political debate, not simply a suspension of the so called equal time rule Spokesmen for the industry have urged repeal on the ground that "equal time" re stricts their freedom to stage, among other things, local edi tions of the lUtitl "great debates." 2'4 cups boiling water Vi cup lemon juice 8 fresh mint leaves, op tional 1 cup chilled ginger ale 1 midsummer cantaloupe 1 small avocado 1 cup strawberries 1 cup dairy sour cream 1 tablespoon sugar Vi teaspoon grated lemon rind Dissolve gelatin in boiling water.

There are many personal no tions as to the way to fry chicken but everyone agrees that fried chicken, hot or cold, is superlative feasting. We suggest piling fried chicken high, fresh from the fryer, one day with plenly left over for serving cold an other day. Perhaps with bread, butter and cucumber sandwiches. Country Fried. Dip cut-up table dressed fryers in flour seasoned with two teaspoons salt and one-eighth teaspoon pepper and fry in a hot frying pan with one-half inch hot fat using shortening, cooking oil, lard or half lard and but ter. Brown slowly and tl or- oughly, then turn heat low and continue frying for 35 to 60 minutes depending on size of pieces. Coatina Variation!. A mix ture of cornmeal and flour, fine bread crumbs, corn flake crumbs or a thin batter may be preferred to flour as a coating. Deep Fat Fried. Parboil pieces of frying chicken for 10 minutes in salted water, drain, dip in any of the above coatings and deep-fat fry in hot fat at 350 degrees for 10 minutes or until evenly browned. Drain before serv ing. Oven Fried. Brown chicken as for country fried; then transfer to casserole, cover and finish cooking in 325 de gree oven for one hour. Chicken Barbecue. Follow directions for Oven Fried above but baste with barbe cue sauce made by simmering together the following items: one teaspoon salt', one-half teaspoon pepper, one table spoon paprika, one table spoon sugar, one clove garlic, cut-up, one cup catsup, one medium onion, finely chop ped, one-half cup water, one half cup lemon juice, one ta blespoon Worceste rshire sauce, one-fourth cup butter or margarine. Whole or Pieces Fryer-broilers may be pur chased whole, cut-up or by parts. The packaged cut-up chicken offers not only choice meaty parts such as breast and drumsticks but also back, wings, etcetera. These cost considerably less per pound than when buying "pieces." On the other hand, you may be willing to pay more for choice meaty pieces if you're cooking in a hurry, preparing a party dish or suit ing family preferences for "light or dark." Berry Roll Is Very Good This berry roll is superb made with any seasonal ber ries or combination of ber ries, simply laundered prop erly and folded into whip ped cream or dairy sour cream; then rolled into warm roll made according to these easy directions: Beat four eggs until thick: add one cup sugar, five table spoons water, one teaspoon vanilla. Sift one cup sifted flour, one - fourth teaspoon each salt and baking powder; fold into beaten eggs. Pour into lightly greased jelly roll pan. Bake at 375 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from pan; roll while warm, using foil or waxed paper. Cool; unroll; spread with whipped cream or dairy sour cream and berry combination. Reroll and chill until serving time. Now Is Time for Really Good Loaf Here is a meat loaf that leaves a little time for more loafing the next day since it makes 10 servings; is equally good hot or cold. You'll want mustard pickles with this. Combine two sups fine soft bread crumbs one egg slight ly beaten, two pounds ground uncooked ham, one cup but termilk, one teaspoon prepar ed horseradish and mix well. Add salt if ham is not very salty. Pack into greased loaf pan, pressing well into corners. Bake it moderate, 375 degree, oven about 1 4 hours. Mighty good in sandwiches, too! Raspberry Sauce Now that red raspberries are ripening, consider this simplest of all sauces for top ping custard, puddings, pound cake, angclfood cake or ice cream. Simply crush fresh rasp berries using a little powder ed sugar if you like, though often berries are quite sweet enough. As a matter of fact, other berries or mixed berries are equally good as sauce for "soft" desserts. THE DANMOORE HOTEL 1217 SW. Morrison St. PORTLAND, OREGON All transient guests.
