Cooking a Frosty Morning The Rogue Valley, with its fine spring and summer days, and balmy fall afternoons, is an ideal place for outdoor cookery. Many valley residents are looking forward to the weeKs aneaa when the patio will be the living room. But the other day, we ran across a recipe for an outdoor dish best cooked on winter days, n s called a Frosty Morning. It's a beautiful dish; liked by some who thrive on such delicacies; and much disliked by others, who'd just as soon the discoverer hadn't discovered it. CERTAIN ingredients are essential to make it the delicate dish it should be, and most times is: . Clear skies, preferably with a bright, full moon, and twinkling stars. Bits of moisture, gently condensing on blades of grass, rooftops and automobiles, and brown, uninteresting flowers from last summer. And cool temperatures, preferably just about 32 degrees or a little below, Fahrenheit. , , THESE ingredients should be mixed slowly and quietly for several hours, in still air, which is arranged to slowly decrease in temperature to a noint auite cool! After mixing, let set for a few more hours like you would let bread rise. Before Mother Nature brings her furnace over the eastern hills, step outside and view the end nroduct. It's beautiful, it's brisk, it's like a winter morning should be. Take a deep breath and a quick walk for a breakfast of frosty delight. There are certain precautions, however, which must be taken to avoid disasters in brewing up a good Frosty Morning. Make sure the sky remains clear; clouds simply ruin a good Frosty Morning; they prevent the temperature from adjusting downward to the desired reading.. , . . . . . , i , DE SURE, too, there is no -breeze. You know what happened here r.ot long ago a slight breeze kept the air moving so moisture couldn't crystalize on things, and the Frosty Morning that day was pmpletely-ruined. Another precaution is makinjr sure the upper air is as cold, or colder, than the air on the valley floor. If the upper air is warm, cooking up a Frosty Morning could be somewhat fogged, a condition which has been experienced in this area several mornings in recent weeks. For those o you who cave to try this recipe, there is one move thine to remember it's rather difficult to gather the required ingredients during tne summer months, and tne days on wnicn tney can be Gathered in the spring and fail are some what limited. . . 40 YEARS AGO Jan. 17, 1923 (Friday) P.

" r T'HIS particular dish is suitable for only certain lnrHvii-liiala AJ1V4A T AV-4l4C44L-e People with tendencies toward cold blooded- ness may find a Frosty Morning somewhat dis tasteful; those who desire whole food may find the dish somewhat lacking in nutrition, an item of necessity in the growing process of the human body; still others may find that Frosty Mornings don't agree with their bronchial conditions. But there are remedies that can be taken, for those who feel it is necessary, to prevent adverse results from exposure to too much of a good dish. A variety of clothing, such as gloves, heavy coats, long "woolics," and boots (some of them tur-linecl), help prevent' the chills, which quite frequently accompany such fine cookery. Llcc tric blankets are often used during the cooking process, when some of the ingredients could seep into the confines of an abode. These keep the prospective Frosty Morning partaker warm as toast, usually in a reclining position. DEOPLE who can't cope with the ingredients have the opportunity, too, to relocate in an area where the ingredients are seldom available. 1'i'om what we hear, though, those places are pretty well occupied, and from reading reports from other areas of the country, these places may have another influx of people who find Ole' Man Winter too much of a burden on the shovel handle. Frosty Mornings could be served as hors d oeuvres, followed by a main course which might include blustery north winds, drilling powdery snow, and mercury readings much below the lev el desirable for a delicious Frosty Morning. ur n coiuu oc used as nors u oeuvres in a situation whose main course might include pear blossoms, growing grass, budding rose bushes, and other delicacies served in temperatures far exceeding those desirable for a Frosty Morning. N HIS State of the Union A message, President Kenne dy pointed out the merits of a DOMESTIC Peace Corps He said: ' "The present Peace Corps is a success overseas. As the idealism of our youth has served WORLD PEACE, so it can serve DOMESTIC TRANQUILITY." TWENTY -four hours later, three rural California coun ties announce that they are likely to be soon greeting the nation s first citizen volun teers in a DOMESTIC version of the Peace Corps. Farming communities in Tulare, Kern and Kings coun ties, deep in California's great Central Valley, announce that they are setting up plans to use the corpsmen in an effort to solve some of the most vex ing health and education problems of migrant workers. "As I have pointed out be fore, the legislature should point toward YEAR-AROUND use of costly school plants. Generally, our school plants are idle more days than they are occupied. For most com munities, we can no longer af ford to be bound by schedules which were derived from an agrarian economy." ??????? New days - NEW WAYS. There are so many things- so many of them pleasant -that we can no longer afford in these days of the abundant life - which costs so FAN TASTICALLY MUCH in the way of taxes. Hated Ulbricht Seems Secure in Post, Despite Economic Failures in Country LA3U By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign Nawi Analyst Whatever Niklta Krush chev may think about East German Communist boss Wal- ter Ulbricht privately, pub licly the goa teed Ulbricht scarcely could have asked for more. "Ul bricht is the carpenter and I am the joint- M.w.on, er," said Khru chshev. "His friends are my friends." ' So, for the moment at least, Khrushchev, arriving for the sixth congress of the East Ger man Communist party, set to rest speculation about the fu ture of the man who has been rumored ready for the Krem lin ax more often than any other satellite leader but who has outlived them all. As the Kremlin's overseer for East Germany, Ulbricht has been somewhat less than successful either in restoring the East German economy or in winning friends for the So viet Union. His regime depends upon the presence of Soviet armed forces. The Berlin wall, of which Ulbricht reportedly ' was a chief architect and which was designed to halt the mass out flow of refugees threatening the East German economy, also proved less than a suc cess. - In the last year more than 12,000 East Germans risked Communist bullets to escape across it, and the economy nosedived to even greater depths. The potato harvest fell 43 per cent lower than in 1961, sugar beets 32 per cent, maize 37 per cent and wheat 24 per cent. There were 46,000 fewer head of cattle and 1.3 million fewer pigs. Yet for now Ulbricht is the best that Khrushchev has, Matter of Fact By Joseph AIsop (c) New York Herald Tribune Syndicate AJmp rTlHESE communities plan for a siuait unit oi only ju corpsmen to help them tackle their migrant worker problems. Selected for ingenuity, im agination, TACT and special skills, the service corpsmen will be trained at a university center for a six-week mini mum. When their training is completed, they will work with local community agen cies In the farm towns - and always under local direction. Their main goal will be to develop a measure of stability among hitherto rootless mi grant families. They will help launch day-care centers for pre-school migrant chil dren. They will offer element ary courses in nutrition, health and family budgeting. They will provide stepped-up vocational training so farm workers can qualify for a wider variety of agricultural jobs In an era of glowing farm technology. the ith flHEN served as a main dish, however, tl Frosty Morning should be concocted wi the finesse which onlv the light touch of winter air can produce. It should be crispy, clear and delicate to touch. For those of you who want to try this recipe, the days in which the ingredients will be avail able in the Rogue Valley arc becoming numbered this year, and to reallv get the recipe down pat takes several practice sessions. We are sure, however, there arc outdoor chefs i m the area who don't care especially to concoct a Frosty Morning, but prefer a menu which calls for a Summer Afternoon. E. 11. A. 1 1 EFORE scoffing, consider " the antics of our young people as reflected in the news. It gives us the shivers sometimes. Why do they do what they do? THE REAL TAX STORY Washington - By common consent, the President's mes- sace on the State of the Un ion was the best that has been heard 1,4 a long time, being temper- a t e, meaty, and eloquent, all in one. Not unexpect edly, the meat iest part of the domestic half of the message was the program of tax reduction and reform. In broad outline, the Presi dent's proposal was about what was anticipated. Indeed, the $13.5 billion over-all re duction in rates, the $3.5 bil lion of recapture by loophole closing, and the resulting net revenue sacrifice of $10 bil lion were all forecast in some detail in this space over a week ago. Butjt is still very interest ing to sec how this particular result - this bold proposal put forward in a cautious and pru dent manner - was finally ar rived at. rpHE TAX program is a func- tion, as the mathematicians say, of the complex interplay ot auicreni economic view points and theories, different Administrative angles of vi sion, and different views of the practical politics of the problem. But what was the nature of the interplay? For once in a way, to begin with, the tax program, which results from a conflict of ideas and judgements, was not accompanied by any con flict of personality. This is rare in government, but in this Instance Secretary of the Treasury Douglas Dillon and the chairman of the Presi dent's Board of Economic Ad visors, Walter Heller, really did manage to differ without acerbity. Possibly this minor miracle resulted from the fact that the Dillon-Heller difference, even at the outset of the tax argu ment, was one of emphasis rather than basic approach. Among the Treasury staff, to II may be because thev have NOTHING BETTER to do. This program might give them something better to do. We can't afford to scoff at it. terms rather than in terms of pump-priming. Yet despite the difference In emphasis already noted, the two principals, Dillon and Heller, entirely agreed that BOTH tax reduction and tax reform were important. This meant a mixed package, such as the President offered. A mix of bold rate reduction and medium-bold loophole closing had been broadly agreed upon and approved by the President rather early in the autumn. The work on details then began. But one exceedingly important base had yet to be touched, in the authoritative person of the chairman of the House Ways and Means Com mittee, Rep. Wilbur Mills. This was done when the Pres ident met with Mills on Dec. 12. YTILLS is not a do-or-dic, ".year - in - year - out budget balancer, but he was much disturbed by the massiveness of the Federal deficit that the contemplated rale reductions were likely to produce. He set, as a kind of upper ceiling, a Kennedy deficit in the first year that would be definitely less than the highest deficit of the Eisenhower years close to $12.5 billion in 1959. Going further than the top Eisenhower deficit, said Mills, would be bad politics in the country and would invite de feat in Congress. Mills further insisted that the link between tax reduction and tax reform must be solid: otherwise, he said, there could be no hope of reform. The main Mills contribution to the program, nonetheless, was the decision to offer the tax reduction in slices - $6 billion of tax cuts the first year; further tax cuts and lax reform in the second year; and still further tax cuts in the third year. Thus the im mediate incentive-impact of tax reduction was somewhat lessened, from fear of an ex cessive budget deficit; but this lessened impact was com pensated for, or at least so it is hoped, by the stimulating anticipation of more tax cuts later on. and, besides, Khrushchev had other fish to fry. And, as he keynoted the opening of the party congress in East Berlin, ulbricht obe diently picked up his cue. China, he said, violated the doctrine of co-existence when it attacked India without con sulting or even informing its Communist allies. China Jind Albania are ori ented toward war, which "has become unrealistic in the set tlement of any dispute . . . disputes must be settled through negotiation." As for Germany: Berlin tensions can only be settled through the West Ber lin city government, not by Bonn: direction negotiations must take place for creation of normal relations between East and West Germany. There probably is not a more hated man in the whole of Germany than Ulbricht. He scarcely would seem to be the man to carry on successful negotiations. But West Chancellor Kon rad Adenauer, an adament foe of any settlement short of German reunification, now is a lame-duck chancellor. Khrushchev may hope Aden auer's successor will be easier to deal with. ... Communications ...

Deer Shortage To the Editor: I received the Oregon State Game Com mission Bulletin recently and got quite a kick out of John McKean's article which start ed out: "Will hunting continue to be one of Oregon's most popular sources of" outdoor recreation, or will human pressures reduce the wildlife resources and hunting access until hunting is no longer at tractive to the average citi zen? This is a question that every citizen should ask him self - not the Game CommiS' sion, or the legislature, or Uncle Sam - for the answers rest largely with the hunt erf." I have been a member of several Sportsmen's clubs for years, and have, hunted all parts of Lake and Klamath counties since 1932. But since the first doe kill way back in the '40s the deer population has been diminishing every year, 'regardless of what propaganda the Game Com mission reports. Sure there are going to be fewer deer when the Com mission sells deer tags for four or five different seasons running from August to Janu ary. I don't believe you can kill off the old does and fawns along with the bucks and still expect more deer. That sounds about as silly as a stock farm er killing off his herd of cattle and starting all over each year with a few old cows and heifers. I don't know how many petitions I have signed in the last 20 years asking the com mission to stop killing docs in the Lake and Klamath areas, but every year the doe kill gets larger and now we have a shortage of deer. No wonder. I don't believe it is up to the people who hunt nearly as much as It is to the people who are managing our wild life. Every time they fool around with Mother Nature the worse off they are except financially. It seems to me they do a fair job of raising money to do a poor job of managing our deer herds. E. O. Gillings, 1031 Winchester, Medford. "Man's World" To the Editor: Reading your editorial in Monday's paper on the cancellation of tele vision programs, I agree whole-heartily and regret that "It's a Mans World" will be dropped from view. I felt it was one of the best shows seen locally. It is a shame something can't be done about it.

Not Equally Guilty To the Editor: I think you wrote without full knowledge of the facts when you said in commenting upon the Jcan nace Freeman case that "in justice has resulted, when two women, equally guilty . , ." are sentenced to different punishments. Both women were found guilty of first degree murder, one by her own admission, another by a jury chosen to try her. In the case of the first it was up to the judge to determine the sentence. In the case of the second it was up to the jury. The jury determined Miss Freeman should die. The judge, who acted instead of a jury under Oregon law in the case of Mrs. Nunez (Jackson), found considerable difference in the degree of responsibility for the crime. I attended both trials, each session of them. I have read transcripts of both since that time. I have studied the pleadings in the cases, and the court decisions. I speak with some degree of knowl edge, then, of the circum stances of both cases. Under these circumstances, the judge found the two women were not equally re sponsible for the crime. I think his finding was correct. If you accept the idea they were not equally responsible - and the judge, the prosecu tors, and others connected with the case have agreed this was the case - your statement that simple injustice has been done is simply wrong. Bob Chandler Bend, Ore. Shirts, Apples and Taxes To the Editor: 1 think I can guess at the answers Arnold Eugene Jenny asks for. I haven't traveled as much as he has, but I've been around. Most men like their cotton shirts to be hanging in closets where they can grab them easily, but it is more work for the laundry to put them on hangers and in a bag, so -more cost. A dress shirt is always folded away in a suitcase or drawer, and if delivered, is easy to carry. Whether it is doctors, den tists or who else - they must have a certain amount of money for monthly expenses. There are many more people on Long Island than in this community; they can charge half price there and be sure of getting the necessary wage. In Medford, they must charge higher prices to gain the same. and sometimes do not, Tve been told. I agree with" Mr. A.E.J, about the New York apples being tops. It is my home state, but if he will get a box of apples from Washington, he will find very good ones. In N.Y. we made cider and fed the pummace tb the hogs. I've never tasted pork like ours in any other state. The high taxes that hit us are a "must," because they have been raised everywhere. How can we climb onto the moon without the help of you and you and you? That, raises some more questions that even a smart aleck like me cannot guess at; like "What for? Why should wc?" and all the other thoughts along that line. . I think Rogue Valley Manor must be lovely. I see their bus pass nearby every Thursday while the Senior Activity Cen ter Orchestra is practicing at 601 East Jackson. Would you like us to come up and play a few old time tunes for you someday? Pearl Spackman Jacksonville, Ore. Many Helped To the Editor: We would like to take this means of thanking publicly our neigh bors, the employees at Rogue Valley Memorial Hospital, the Dorcas Societies of all the S.D.A. churches in the valley, the Red Cross, and all our friends, known and unknown, for the wonderful way they so generously responded with gifts of food, clothing, house hold goods, and money when we were left without any of the material things of this life due to the loss of our home and possessions by fire Mon day morning, Jan. 7.

Jahn, Route 3, Medford Strictly Personal By Sydney J. Harris (c) Field Enterprltes, Inc. PERSONAL PREJUDICES The worst companion in any venture is an incompctdnt enthusiast; for every one per son in whom enthusiasm is a virtue, there are a dozen in whom It Is simply a substitute for knowledge. The tame quality that at tracts us to a mate is often the very quality that even tually ropels us: a woman marries a man because the thinks he it dominating and then learnt he it merely domineering: a man marriet a woman because the it fluffy and then learnt the is merely pulpy. It Is a vast over-simplification to suggest that poverty "creates" crime; what would be truer to say is that the man with the least to lose is most likely to take the great est risks, in any direction. It is so-called "respectability," rather than honesty, that keeps the bulk of people from taking to illegal pursuits.
