14 i Wives of Medford and Rogue valley mm Islers were honored at an informal tea given lasl week al the home of Mr. and Mri. George Flanagan, North Pacific highway, by memberi of the Medford Council of Unit ed Churchwomen. Mrs. Everett Lasher, council president, poured for the tea and School Cafeteria Manager About New Food Program, Results The school lunch program in this country is "big busi ness" and parents should see that the children gel good food. This was the theme of n talk given last night at Med ford High school by Mrs. Gcna Larson, LaMesa, Calif., super visor of the cafeteria for Helix High school. Mrs. Lar son took over the cafeteria program several years ago and since that time has grad ually changed the type and variety of food served in the school, which has about 2,400 students. Mrs. Larson stales that as a result of the program, the school has had a lower rate of absenteeism, scholarship and general morale has Im proved, and the number of broken bones among young sters engaging in athletics and sports has decreased. She be lieves that problem students are decreasing. Her appearance here last night was sponsored by the Natural Food associates with the cooperation of school of ficials. Program Outlined Mrs. Larson first outlined generally how school lunch programs are operated and pointed out that through the federal government, certain surplus foods are supplied schools-and some funds are available for purchase of such foods as milk. Mrs. Larson, who serves as dietitian for the cafeteria, first began her "bet ter food" program by cutting off the supply of candy and chocolate milk. In some in stances she substituted enrob powder for chocolate, which she says is "kinder to teen age complexions." The next year she cut down SUREFLEX by Tut an activp bov in pumriii SUREFLEX shoes and watch him glow.

'S on the "snack foods" served and substituted a "salad line," with the salads made from fresh fruit and vegetables. A hot dish, bread and milk are also available. The third year the system added box lunches which included a protein sand wich made of whole wheat bread, fresh fruit and vege tables and the hot dish. These proved popular, she said, since the students are permitted to eat the box lunches outside on the school campus. Other changes were the sub stitution of arrow root flour, which is high in calcium, for corn starch, dark brown sugar for white, school-made catsup which has no sugar in It, school -made salad dressings, and a new kind of bread made with bone meal, wheat germ and rice polishings in addi tion to the whole wheat flour. This was at first made to be served for the athletes at training tables, and later bak ings were increased in order that the bread would be avail- ble for other students. Beans and lentils are sprouted, since these are said to be good sources of vitamin B complex. Training Table At the training table the athletes are also offered seeds, wheat germ and peanut butter in addition to the day's menu. Raw fruits are available to all students for desserts. Potatoes are not peeled. Mrs. Larson snid that she has the cooperation of her school principal, the coaches and teachers of physical edu cation in her program. In ad dition to the new menus now offered the students, they are encouraged to walk to school instead of riding f a ri rvini r , A rLtAIDLL SHOE... for boys who go places -fast!

(Knackstedl photo) Talks The speaker said in the be ginning of her talk that stu dents entering the school have an average of 13 tooth cavities per student; that before the new food program, this aver age grew to 30 cavities. She said that this average has been decreased, but offered no sta tistics. She had no figures on decreased absenteeism. Mrs. Larson is convinced that while sugar is "the cul prit" causing poor teeth and believes that a poor diet is the basic cause of poor health and disease. She said that problem students are often sent to her and she checks their diet, since it is believed a poorly fed student often is a troublesome student; also students forced into remedial subjects have their diets checked. An emergency break fast program is carried on. More than 50 per cent of the students in the school patronize the cafeteria, Mrs. Larson said. In addition, all students participate in nutri tion studies. In summing up the program, which included colored motion pictures taken at the school, Mrs. Larson said that In addition to feeding the children well while they are in school, the ultimate goal is to leach them good eating habits. During the discussion per iod which followed she said thai some of the free food supplied by the government is good, and some is not. She classifies white flour and while rice in the poor cate gory and said taxpayers uf the nation should find out why it is that only the milled and refined varieties are given to (he schools, since it would be cheaper to give them the un processed grain. Mrs. Larson's school buys wheat germ from near-by processing plants and this is shipped to the school by refrigerated trucks, and kept refrigerated at the school since it deteriorates rapidly. Mrs. Larson said in private conversation following the meeting that she has a council of 21 physicians and dentists which she uses for consulta tions. More than 100 members and Interested persons attended the meeting. The speaker was introduced by Elliott Beckon; Miss Anna Strced presided. -OS. A call to the Tribune news room this morning stated that Mrs. Larson has been named to President Kennedy's physi cal fitness council according to an announcement in the September issue of "Let's Live" magazine. Student Needs Early College Application Washington -HOT- When should a high school student begin taking steps lo get into college? Ideally, during his junior year, and by all means no later than early fall of his senior year. That's the latest word from educators, who say that No vember of the senior year is the "last safe date" for apply ing for admission lo a major college. Kducators recommend that study of college catalogs and admission requirements begin in the 11th grade. Students niH.v also take the preliminary scholastic aptitude (college board) tests In the junior high school year. Protective Hole In ancient times, the bride groom carried his bride over the threshold to protect her from evil spirits that were be lieved lo be hovering there. When a husband does it to day, the custom is a sign of his new protective role at head of the household. Social Events 'Different' Designs Pay Off for Foursome By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor New York lUPB One way lo succeed in the fashion busi ness is to be so off-beat that that you don't follow any trend's at all. It helps al so if you get an elegant lo cation for the business -say on Man hattan's fash ionable 57th cay p.uiey street - then give it a name completely out of keeping with its surround ings. In this instance, an en vironment of art galleries and elegant antique shops. The combination is paying off for a youthful foursome of New Yorkers who run "The Bald Soprano," which draws its customers from society, show business and the interna tional set... women with enough wherewithal to spend as much as $1,200 for an eve ning dress. "One of our customers flew in from Paris the other day," said Glenn Cress, the shop's designer. "She'd been there for the collections (the fall fashion openings by the cout urier houses) and came on to Gallery To End Season Ashland - The first summer season of The Slump Art gal lery, Ashland, will end Sep tember 3, according to the di rector, Mrs. Marilyn Briggs. Paintings by local artists and the Book fair sponsored by Tudor guild will continue through that dale. Hours are from noon until 8 p.m. every day. The cultural hour program held between 3 and 4 p.m. have proven popular, Mrs. Briggs states. This afternoon Mrs. Darwin Bevins will read John Donne's sonnet. Thurs day afternoon members of the Shakespearean Festival quar tet will sing folk songs and Saturday Mrs. Briggs has planned a discussion, with re cordings, on the ballad form. Irving Lord, instructor of English at Southern Oregon college, will present Ihe pro gram. Mrs. Briggs states that The Stump has been enthusiastic ally received by both resi dents and visitors to the val ley this summer, which is con sidered a sign of the growing interest in the arts in this area. Gail Glidden Is Graduated; Now on Staff Miss Gail Glidden, who was graduated from Providence School of Nursing at Portland August 19, is now employed at Memorial hospital, Salem. She is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry L. Glidden, 243 South Stage road. An honor student at the nursing school, Miss Glidden is also a gradu ate of Phoenix High school. Mrs. Glidden and her other children, Janet, Tony and Charles, motored to Portland to attend the ceremonies. Aft er the graduation rites, the Gliddens were guests at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Martin Buchholz, Ml. Angel. They are the parents of Kenneth Buchholz, Miss Glidden s fiance. The Gliddens vacationed in Portland and then returned home by way of the coast and Crescent City. Nieces Visit Shady Cove -Trail - The Misses Nona and Louise Propst. Campbell.

New York to shop with us before she flew home to West Berlin. "Since many of our custo mers will be in Paris today, New York tomorrow, Rio next week, we don't produce cloth es seasonally. We are used to customers looking for ski sweaters in August. "Neither do we follow trends. Our clothes are for the woman who is not attempting to dress as fashion dictates, or as other women dress. She wants to dress as an individ ual, yet not look bizarre. She is assured of her clothes sense . . . she carries the dress, it doesn't carry her. "She does not copy Mrs. John F. Kennedy because she's quite pleased with her own style of dress already." Gress said he believes one of the things wrong in the fashion industry today . . . why various facets are crying about drop in sales ... is lack of individuality. "Many of the big salons can't guarantee a one-of-a-kind costume even if the woman's willing to pay $700 or $800 for it. This we of fer, and it's succeeding beautifully." Costume Designer The designer, who was born in Saltville, Pa., near Altoona, moved from theatrical cos tume design into the current business. The three associates are Ed Evans, native of Sa vannah, Ga.; Mrs. Sheila Brown, originally from Rock ville Center, N.Y., who is business manager, and Mrs. Harriet Hagerty, from Glov ersville, N.Y., a well-known weaver who produces many of the magnificent fabrics used by the firm. All now are residents of New York's Greenwich Vil lage, where "The Bald Sopra no" (named for a play by Eu gene Ionesco) had its start. The move lo the vicinity of the fashionable New York shopping area came a few weeks ago when the business outgrew its village quarters. The shop is worth a visit from any tourist, even if the tourist can't afford its prices. The frame for a huge antique mirror - the mirror long since broken - serves as one of the window props where clothes are casually draped. Art and Clothes The entrance light Is an old Tiffany glass chandelier. Old tapestries hang helter skelter on the walls, works of rt are minglged among the clothes. The piece de resist ance is an upright piano. which Gress said supposedly once belonged to an opera singer who also was the mis tress of a noted gambler of the 1920's. Gress shops the world for fabrics other than those made by Mrs. Hagerty, An antique obi from Japan, for instance, went into the making of a nar row evening dress priced at $750 - "but it's good for an other 100 years," said the de signer. Gress does very few fitted dresses because "most women don't have the figure which can support a tight-fitting dress. A little ease here and there docs wonders."

If you feel you're an over worked homemaker, take a long look at your standards. Maybe you've set them too high, considering all you have to do. After all what is most important to your family? In a day's work there are many unexpected situations to knock a perfectionist house keeper right off her wcll-dusl-ed pedestal. "Yellowed" or "grayed" clothes that are supposed to be white are definitely an un desirable standard. What's wrong? There are several pos sible causes. Iron in the water may be one of the problems and it might come from the water heater, pipes or the source of water. If this cause seems likely, use a packaged water conditioner-the type that does not leave a scum. Don't use liquid bleach in water contain ing, iron. This intensifies the yellow or sometimes leaves brown specks unless you use a water conditioner. Of course, an automatic water softening system is a good solution, too. Other causes of dinginess are often too little detergent, or lack of hoi water. Sheets, underwear, shirts, and other clothes soiled with natural body oils need hot water and sufficient water and sufficient soap or detergent. Otherwise, oils are left in the fabric and turn yellow when clothes arc exposed to the heat of a dryer or iron. Sometimes loo much deter gent causes yellowness. This is because it isn't all rinsed oul and discolors with heat. The moral is: Measure deter gent according to your wash er's instructions. If you'd like more informa tion about new washing prod ucts write Oregon State Uni versity, Corvallis, for your free copy of our bulletin, "To day's Soaps and Detergents." Smart homemnkers tell us that washing walls will be easier if you wash from the bottom up. The reason is this. If water drips down on the cleaned portion, it won't stain. But if you start at the top, the g-fSyf clean UntTrT I mmmMM For Your Convenience & Savings Big Double load Washers 55,, LAUNDROMAT -STEWART N KUJWSB drip causes streaks on the dirty wall which are practi cally imposible to remove ex cept with hard rubbing. Save time in picking up af ter other members of your family. Out-smart them by putting one or more waste baskets in every room and hallway. It isn't necessary to buy these; just collect some deep boxes and invite the children to help cover them with pretty wall paper or shelf paper when they need some busy work. They'll take more interest in using them for their intended purpose. If they empty their pockets in an unsightly heap, give each person a special box for his personal clutter. This will help keep it in one place. For youngsters just learn ing to eat at the table, use small terry cloth hand towels for place mats. The towels ab sorb spills, wash easily, and need no ironing. Leave Mr. and Mrs. .1. R. Carney and daughters, Rena Maria, Jocelyn Sue and Jacqueline Ann, Redding, Calif., left the first of the week after being guests at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas P. Ball, 1025 In grid avenue. In Seattle Trail - Mrs. A. Louis Day and daughter Stephanie are in Seattle where they will visit the World's Fair. Credit Plans Used For College Bills New York IUPD Pay-as-you-lcarn financing will achieve new prominence as a fact of campus life this fall when the largest crop of college fresh men in the nation's history en rolls. Robert J. Kcir, president of the Tuition Plan Inc., largest of the institutions specializing in financing of academic costs, said more than half of this year's 1.110,000 freshmen will use credit of one sort or an other to pay college bills. Record Is Predicted For School Enrollment Washington -d'Plt- More than 50 million students - an all time record for any country -will enroll in U.S. schools this fall. The prospective enrollment includes about 39 million in public schools, 6.7 million in private and parochial schools, and 4.5 million in colleges and universities. The student population of America's school system has been growing steadily for the past 18 years at an average rate of more than 3 per cent Girl Scouts At Festival A selected group of Girl Scouts from the Northwest area are at the University of Oregon through August 31 for a Three Rivers Council-sponsored Creative Arts festival. Among them is Susan Ca perna, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ronald R. Caperna, 1024 Ingrid street. The 115 Scouts are from Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Ore gon, and Washington. One visiting Scout from Venezuela is also participating. Ranging in ages from 14 to 17, the girls are engaging in creative work in art, drama, music, and dance. Each par ticipant emphasizes one area and has the opportunity of exploring other areas. The Girl Scouts arrived at the University Sunday, Au gust 19, and for their opening session heard University Pres ident Arthur S. Flemming. Supplementing the class schedule is a program of plays, a field trip, swimming parties, buzz sessions, and other entertainment.

The upsurge in enroll, ment is partly the result of population growth. But it also is partly the result of chang; ing social and economic pat terns which put a higher prq. mium on education and cause a higher percentage of youths to attend school for longer periods of time. , 60.000 per Year Although states and com munities have been building1 new public school classrooms, at a feverish rate of about 60, 000 a year, the construction boom has barely been able to keep pace with enrollment in' creases and the necessary abandonment of unsafe apd obsolete structures. Thus the outlook is that many school districts again will face overcrowding and half-day sessions this fall. Last year, in the nation as a whole, schools had about 1.-7 million students more man they theoretically were able, to handle within their rated capacity. The National Educa. tion association anticipates a shortage of about 127,000. classrooms this fall. -3 Par Cent More Although there will be more qualified teachers than last year - at least 3 per cent more, according to NEA cal culations - the increase wilt be largely offset by higher en rollment. Thus, many school districts again will have to rely on teachers who lack full certification. Austins Leave ; For Wood burn Mr. and Mrs. J. B.
