V mi - By MARGARET SCHULER Medford is hot in August Labor Day week ends, but also, but there is not a great exodus from the city, nor is it considered a disgrace to be caught in town during August as it is in Rome. If he is un fortunate enough to have to be, no respectable Roman lets anyone know it. He pulls his .blinds and is inconspicuous. But he certainly goes if he can, and leaves his world to .the tourist - and to me. It is said on good authority, that "when Rome was to have the .world Olympics here, they chose the month of August with malice aforethought. The word, "Ferragusto," means "August Holidays." Of ficially, they begin on the fifteenth, and a friend of mine told me that for two days you can shoot a cannon down the Via Veneto without hitting anyone. Plumbers, electri cians, small shop keepers -even restaurants, close and may not open until the middle 'of September. They go to the mountains, the lakes and the seashores. Rather like our Demonstration In Ashland Ashland - A reception and demonstration at Frames, etc., 1951 Highway 66, is to be held Sunday afternoon, Au gust 19, from 2 to 4 o'clock when Mrs. Gerald Reed will be guest of honor.

Mrs. Raymond Vandervalle of Frames, etc., announced that Mrs. Reed will offer a course in the fall and will have booklets and informa tion available to those inter ested in the unique craft. Californians Visit Applegate Home Applegate Valley - Mrs. Ernest E. Sharp has been hostess to a number of guests from California at her Carber ry road home in the upper Applegate.

Upstairs, downstairs, on steps, in corners, on the floor, with shoes on, and with shoes off, they stand or sit, in the great mail queues. American youth, healthy, happy and hot. In the building to replenish my stack of lire, I suddenly realized that I was the only older girl there. A few older boys, but it was too crowded for wives, evidently. "How to See Europe on Five Dollars a Day," a new book, may ac count for the crush to some extent. There was a hum of. "Where are you from?" "Where do you go to school?" "Where have you been?" And most often, "We are on our way to Paris," or perhaps it was Copenhagen or Greece or somewhere. Or, "We have just come from Milano," or, "We are just leaving for Lon don, and then home." On Via Veneto On the Via Veneto it is something else. The fifty-dol-lar-a-day customers at the Ex celsior and Flora, the husband and wife, do not look hot as they sip and nibble at the out door tables along the avenue. In honor of this class, Don ey's richest Romans of them all, where prices seemed al ready at a peak, last week made another August effort to test the limits to which the "Innocents Abroad," the ubi quitous summer tourist will go. Without any warning, coffee was up three cents, making the little Expresso cups 35 cents, and coffee with milk, much more than that. All oth er food and drinks went up 16 cents. As there are no menus in evidence, and it seems almost vulgar to ask for one, in such a smoothly running and de lightful atmosphere, it isn't until the little ticket is scan ned that one knows the facts. Asks Why When we indignantly asked why, the pleasant waiter shrugged, "Taxes." We have the idea that the help does not like the Idea either. It surely must cut tips to some extent. I fear that Doney's don't even care that I have now taken myself and my rich cof fee trade, over across the street to the "Dolce Vita," side, to the Cafe de Paris, where I now sit and glare across at them. Anyway, the Cafe de Paris is more elegant and exclusive and the "Dolce Vita," Rome's aristocracy do not like Doney's enner; tor a different reason, however. They don't care to be confused and identified with tourists. For me, I am hoping that taxes will decerase again in September, even though cof fee at the Cafe de Paris and the Excelsior remains the same price, 18 cents. Women Return From Seaside Mrs. Guy Parker, 941 Mt. Pitt avenue, and Mrs. Ted D. Yarnell, 2651 Howard ave nue, arrived home the first of the week after spending several days at Seaside. They were north to attend activi ties at Camp Rilea where Mr. Parker and Mr. Yarnell were on active duty with the Ore gon National guard summer training session. They attended the inspec tion of the troops by Gov. Mark Hatfield and viewed the military parade. MEDFORD MAIL Child Raising Given By Family of Eleven By PATRICIA MvCORMACK United Press International Wesport, Conn. (UPD What goes on in a 14-room house here might surprise, perplex a n d at tunes amuse the ex perts who feed us parents child raising theories in big bunches. The parents in this great house solved the problem, Patricia McCormack television - watching a r g u ments, and assorted other problems - including how to get a child to hang up his clothes. And they did it without help from books! "After the first baby, we just didn't have time to read a child-raising book," Rita El liot, mother of nine, said. Mrs. Elliot, wife of radio and television sports caster Win Elliot, doesn't get out ol the house very often for pleasure. You can't count the times she's on the road, making business trips to school, church, market, scout meeting, a birthday party, the drug store, the doctor, dentist or a maternity hospital. Live on Estatelet By some standards, one might consider her a trapped housewife. She's not trapped. She's isolated - on a nine-acre "estatelet" where the chief business is raising five boys, four girls, ranging in age from three months to 14 years. And, oh yes, an Irish setter. From time to time, Mrs. Elliot, a former Chicago singer and dancer, also cares for tur tles, fish, birds, snakes and other creatures. "Rita gets all the credit; she doesn't feel she's a martyr," said the man who brings home the bacon for the big family. But he doesn't literally bring home the bacon - not since he figured out bacon at breakfast meant lugging home 14 pounds of the stuff a week. "We cut off the bacon," he said. "No one died of malnu trition." When the Eliots make an expedition to the supermarket once a week, it takes $80 to $90 to get past the checkout counter. Dad pays cheerfully. The food bill "is a fact of life," said Mr. Elliot, a native flf Boston. "We have to eat. The only thing I'm concerned about is getting the most for the money - and no waste." Two Freezers If steak's on sale, the El liots buy 100 pounds and as sign it to one of two home freezers. They buy the small est oranges, apples, plums and other fruit. "After a while we noticed the best apples, biggest peach es and largest of anything landed in the trash can half eaten," he said. "Small chil dren take a few bites and that's that. There's less waste with small sized things." The weekly food bill at the supermarket doesn't include the tab for milk - 200 quarts a month. Common problems in the child raising arena - and how the Elliots solved them - in clude: -Writing on walls: one wall of each bedroom is a writing wall, surfaced with a wash able plastic material. The hall way to the family room also is covered with this material -Television watching: took the television cord and cut it, fixing a plug to splice it. Only mom and dad have the con- Shop Tonight Till 9 p.m. -If TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON Suggestions necting plug. Television's on only when they say so. -Hanging up clothes: no youngster, including the two-year-old, is allowed out of his or her bedroom in the morn ing until dressed and room is tidy. The younger children get help making their beds. Duties around house: all hands assigned duties. No pay involved. For additional jobs, there is slight remuneration. All the kids are doing it: when an Elliot says this in an attempt to get mom or dad to change mind, he's told: "But you're an Elliot and the El liots do it this way." Mr. Elliot said "A lot of fel- lows look at me and pity me because of the bills I'll have to pay when the children start to college." "I tell them not to worry," he said. "I don't." Mr. Elliot's idea is to have the children who want college work for it. "I never get an argument on that," he said.

In China, for example, it has been the custom for men to roll two pieces of jade in the palm of their hands to settle anxiety. In the Arab world, a string of beads of varying numbers has been used to fidget away nervous energy for so long that no one really can trace the beginnings. Now, for contemporary fe males, there are worry beads. They're the same type used as a sort of psychological crutch in Greece during World War II. Men used them to "fidget with" in cafes. The worry beads, "kom- boloy" in Greece and "masba hah" in Arabic countries, con sist of a strand of 35 beads. Coro, jewelry manufactur er introducing the worry beads, suggests that you fiddle with the beads quietly, hand in pocket, or use them to tick off your worries, one per bead - in the open. In any case, the manufactur er reports the beads help to quiet hands and nerves. At least you can use them to count your troubles.

New York Couple Use Free Foods Foraged From Land By JEANNE LESEM New York-IUPD-Freda Gib bons, a school teacher, doesn't object to her husband's "wild" parties, as long as he does most of the cooking. Nor are the Gibbonses cen sured by their community. Tanguy Homesteads, about 20 miles from Philadelphia. It is an inter-religious, inter-racial community, many of whose members are Quakers. The wild part of the Gib bons' parties is the food -plants, fish, small game and fresh water crustaceans gath ered mostly by Euell Gibbons on foraging trips in fields, woods, streams and their own yard. "I still don t enter into for aging trips wholeheartedly," said Mrs. Gibbons in an inter view during a visit here. "But Euell is a tremendous help when people come unexpect edly for meals. He can rush out to the yard to pick some thing to augment our freezer supplies." Prepares Food Gibbons not only helps a great deal with the cooking, but he also prepares all the wild foods. Council Member Reports on Camp Mrs. Arnold Johnson spoke at the last meeting of the Women's Missionary council, Bethel Assembly of God church.

Smith were Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Swett (Winifred Kipp). Fairfield, Calif., and her brother and sistcr-ln-law, Mr. and Mrs. Stewart Kipp, Sac ramento.

Their sister was unable to be here. WANT JHE BEST? THEY'RE Miiii E3 Living with a man who thinks such interests are fun has its trying moments, Mrs. Gibbons said. "When we were first mar ried, he went in for foraging overzcalously. We'd come home about 9 o'clock Sunday night with a car full of things after a week end of foraging. Euell would stay up for hours fixing them. But he learned to cut down the amounts when he found I wouldn't help." Mrs. Gibbons, who teaches fourth grade at the local ele mentary school, said she is "not crazy about cooking, but I've learned enough about it to prepare good meals with out too much effort." One Wild Food Their average meal has at least one wild food, she said, ana the party menus, are mostly wild foods. Mrs. Gibbons said her hus band used to leave the kitchen In a mess, which led to argu ments. But the atmosphere usually is cordial, and their reputation for serving de licious wild food is growing so rapidly that they have a wait ing list of prospective guests. A recent party menu in cluded cattail wafers, wild cherry olives, bluogill cock tail, catfish tempura, buttered cattail spikes, day-lily buds with oyster mushrooms, muf fins of cattail pollen and elder blow with four kinds of jelly, preserves and pollen and eld- blow with two kinds of jolly, a marmalade and pre serves. There were just a few of the things served at a party two days before publication of Gibbons' book, "Stalking the Wild Asparagus" (McKay). It Is an entertaining guide to edible wild foods of the U.S.A. It has line drawings to teach those who want to live off the land, and recipes for prepar ing the foods. "Cherry olives are unsweet ened pickled cherries and taste nothing like olives, writes Euell Gibbons in "Stalking the Wild Aspara gus." They are served like olives, with salad, as snacks, or picnic food. Wash firm, un blemished cherries In cold wa ter. Pack them in 'z-pint.jars. Add '4 teaspoon of salt and Vi tablespoons of cider vine gar to each jar. Fill with cold water and seal. Store it least three weeks before using. OSU Professor Elected to Board Joseph C.
