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

longer, much longer.
But August heat is not a
deterrent to the tourists. They
abound. The American Ex-
press might be a college or
university on registration day.
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

Mrs. Guy Parker, 941 Mt.

Child Raising
Given By Family of Eleven

Wesport, Conn. (UPD What
goes on in a 14-room house
here might surprise, perplex

perts who feed

bunches. The
parents in this
great house

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-

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. '

'Worry Beads'
Serve Purpose
New York - (UPD - Fidget
we must.
No new notion this. 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

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

Add '4 teaspoon of salt and
Vi tablespoons of cider vine
gar to each jar. Fill with cold
