Take Vacation at Home And Work at Being Lazy "T rn i niLld MCLOnMACK United Press International New York-WD-For the rest of your life, spend a few va. cation days at home and work hard at MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON THURSDAY. JULY 12. 1962 swinging fly being lazy! It takes an Iron will. You've got to ignore grass that needs to be clipped, s q u e a k I ng doors crying Pitrlclt "". Mccormick rooms that ought to be painted and even the neighbors. The best rest also involves turning a deaf ear to the phone, the neighbor's young sters, and all else that threat ens to interfere with your labors on behalf of laziness. If you can't tune out such sounds that tempt you to change from the horizontal to vertical position, bolster your will power with ear plugs. You'll want to shut out more than exciting sounds. For example, you've got to do something about mail that might make you nervous. I The most workable ap . p r o a c h: Let the bills er, mail collect in the mail box. 'If you have a good-sized box, the mail man won't have very much trouble making it hold ' several batches of bills. Sleeping until noon also ' helps when you're working at . being lazy. That relieves the female of the house of the ' breakfast-making chore. It J also relieves the male of breakfast dishwashing. Along the line, it's a tre 'mendous boost toward lazi '. ness to call the local ready - meal catering service and 1 have lunch sent in. You gain more time dcdi 1 catcd to laziness by vowing also to go to a restaurant for ' dinner every lazy day. ' If you find driving the ' family car to the eatery horns . in on progress connected with "project lazy", don't hesitate. Just call a cab. Lots of folks like to read when lazy-day dreaming be- comes exhausting. " But holding a book and turning the pages easily ener vates one working on lazi ness. Anticipate and solve that problem before embark ing on the lazy days; collect i some talking books records from the library. Get the long-play talking books so you won't have to spend too much energy changing records. Plans for the lazy days also ought to Include the pur chase of a hammock and hanging il in a shady place. Let the hammock swing : ever so slightly. Do it too rapidly and you might over exert yourself a crime pun ishable by work on lazy days! Of course, insects will buzz and try to bile you. On a lazy day, don't do anything ridi culous like swatter Just squirt some bug-bomb I at the creatures when an noyed. If pushing the trigger on an aerosol can seems like too much work, equip your hammock with some jungle netting. This being lazy for a spell isn't bad. In fact, a recent re port from the national insti tutes of mental health urges it to relieve tension.

By CLAIRE COX United Press International Caracas , Venezuela il'PH - There is no need for the tour ist from the United States to know Spanish when he dines out in Venezuela, even if tin. waiter does not speak Eng lish. The menu is more likely to be in French than any other language. Although Venezuela boasts dishes as typically native as the hamburger and hot dog in the United States, it is diffi cult to find them and resi dents appear to balk at either serving them or leading a tourist to thum. Caracas abounds in good restaurants - French, Italian, German, S w I ss , Hungarian, North American, Argentine and, of course, Chinese. But French dishes seem to pre vail. Typical "Do you really want to eat 'typical' food?" an American of long residence in Vene zuela asks this visitor. "Well." is the response, "I would like to taste some real Venezuelan dishes as long as I'm here, but wha'ever you decide will be all right." So they eat in a French res taurant that is very good and very expensive and feel as though they had never left home. A wealthy member of an old Venezuelan family raises the tourist's hopes by suggest ing a place to dine. Where do they eat? Anoth er French rcstaurant-this one very very good and very very expensive. 1 n e Venezuelan gourmet mixes the salad dressing himself. It is strictly French. A North American couple who have lived in Venezuela many years invite the tourist couple to dinner at their col orful hacienda. "Ah. at last," they say, "a Venezuelan meal." Oh, yes? Italian The fare is Italian. Dclic ious but Italian. Couple Visits National Parks Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Sever son, 604 Plum street, travel ed through Utah recently. While in the state they visited with Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Em- de.i. Fillmore, Utah. Mrs. Emdcn is a daughter of the Seversons. The family made stops at Zion National park and the Grand Canyon and Brycc Canyon national parks. In Ashland Ashland - Mrs. Nellie Ship man and Miss Irene Wilcox of Eagle Grove, Iowa, were re cent guests of Mr. and Mrs. Shelby M- Wilcox, 48 Gres ham street. The tourists decide to find some typical Venezuelan food for themselves. The restau rant is there, all right, but it is closed. So they try a side walk cafe. The chicken sand wiches ate delicious. "El sand wich" is a big hit in these parts, particularly "el perro caliente" (hot dogl, with or without mustard. At the government hotel In Maracay, one of the most lux urious hotels on any contin ent," the menu seems to be Venezuelan in places. It in cludes the one dish travel books advise tourists to try hallacas. At every meal, the tourist orders hallacas, only to be told that they are not available. The travel books say they bear some relation to tamales, but this tourist would not know. The closest we came to Ven ezuelan fare was a meal con sisting of minute steak that nad been marinated in a spicy sauce and fried. It was called parrilla and was served with plantain, a relative of the banana; yucca, black beans and rice. Tortilla As in Spain, the tortilla is an omelet, not a flat cake as cooked in Mexico. When not fried in too much grease it can be very palatable. Venezuelans, like Ameri cans, favor charcoal broiled meats. They are great meat eaters and those who can af ford it dine on steak as often as they can. Tea, with or without lem on, iced or hot, is popular here, but the national drink (other than imported colas) is strong coffee with a slightly burned taste, which many per sons drink with liberal dol lops of hot milk or boiling hot water but most appear to like thick and black. Scotch and soda, gin and tonic, rum drinks and Bloody Mary's are the usual choices in Venezuela. The wines are mainly French and expensive. When it comes to dessert, the Venezuelans share an American favorite-extra rich ice cream in many delicious flavors and an especially tas ty strawberry sherbet. French desserts, particularly crepes suzettes, are popular, too. Other than fruit, it was impossible to determine what the "typical" Venezuelan des sert might be. Shower Honors Miss Tresham Miss Beverly Tresham. 306 Garfield street, was honored at a lingerie sliower recently, held at the Girls Community club. Miss Tresham s wedding to Steven Carlos Morris is set for July 20 in the First Pres byterian church here. Miss Joanne Simmons and Mrs. Duane Tresham were hostesses for the event.

Read Labels, Says Expert Corvallis A minute's time spent reading food labels can save shoppers money, give new recipe ideas, and help them choose the foods best liked by their families. This is the theme of a new Oregon State university cir cular offered to Oregon resi dents through county exten sion offices. "Read the Label to Stretch Food Dollars" Is the bulletin title. The author, Jean Sliipman, OSU consumer marketing specialist, says shoppers can increase their buying powr by learning to use informa tion stated on labels. For ex ample, of two popular brands of condensed cream of chicken soup one contained more chicken than the other. By reading list of ingredients, shoppers can know in ad vance what they re buying, notes Miss Shipman. Chemical names listed on package labels may appear long and dangerous, but shop pers are assured that chemi cals have been tested and ap proved for use in foods by the Federal Food and Drug pd ministralion. Miss Shipman points out that use of these additives makes food more palatable, offers more variety and makes food definitely safer.
