RECEIVE LUNCH Second graders at Eagle Point elementary school are shown here re ceiving their lunch at new cafeteria facili ties. Behind the counter are, left to rignt, Mrs. Lenn Hickman, Mrs. Frank Putman, Mrs. Gene Weltman and Mrs. Roy Knoebel. Jan. 2. The biggest change allowed students in the first four grades to eat lunch between 11:15 a.m. and 12:45 p.m. in stead of starting at 10:45 a.m. as was the case when all 12 grades used the grade school cafeteria. Teachers have been able to notice a difference in students appetites by eating at noon. They also find that students are not as restless in the late afternoon. Afternoon milk served to those who want it gives the youngsters a lift, and officials noted that they could tell the difference in those who take milk and those who do not. Less Confusion Noted Another advantage in a second cafeteria allows both groups to eat without the con fusion which existed previous ly. Principal Ralph Hum phrey said this separation is satisfactory to both groups. Head cooks new to both school cafeterias are serving experimental, basic menus to determine the likes and dis likes of students. At the same time they try out new foods, they plan menus to meet Ore gon state food standards. These standards require cafe Unl n!H, -. . 1 , . nail fjuifc u4 umiv, iwu uumea of meat or meat alternate; a three fourths cup serving of vegetables and fruits- one or more ounces per serving of bread; and teaspoon per serv ing of butter. Little Food Returned Both cafeterias report they have had little food returned. Students find more home made rolls, cakes, meat pies and other baked food since oven space for this type of cooking has increased. Mrs. Gene (Martha) Weil man has worked in the Eagle Point cafeteria for more than tnree years, taking over as head cook at the grade school Dec. 1, and transferring to the new primary school Jan 2. "In giving students a smal ler portion, they won't waste it or become discourage and freezer. sized plate to start with," Mrs. Weitman said. "At the same time, the youngsters who need more may come back for seconds," she added. Helping Mrs. Weltman is Mrs. Roy Knoebel who has worked for more than 10 years in the Eagle Point grade school cafeteria; Mrs. Gertrude Putman, and Mrs. Lenn Hickman. Kitchen Facilities Facilities in the new kit chen include an automatic dish washer; three commercial sized ovens; three large sinks and one vegetable sink; a glass sneeze bar to protect food while it is being served; a 10-foot work counter; pas try cupboard and work table; a 20 quart electric mixer and whipper; walk-in refrigerator and walk-in dry storage room; and silverware; the student is served food by the cooks, they pick up their milk, and take a scat at one of the long tables, which have space for 16 to 20 youngsters. The tahles fold in half, as do the benches, which can either be used separate or to gether. When not in use, they fasten into the walls, and the room converted into a multi purpose room or gymnasium. Eat At School Between 270 and 290 youngsters in the first four grades and their teachers eat lunch at the school each day with about 200 students get ting extra milk in mid-after noons, A faculty dining room is furnished. At the Eagle Point grade school cafeteria, about 410 youngsters are served dally with fifth through eighth grades- being served from 11:20 to 11:45 a.m. These stu dents are usually finished eat ing when high school students arrive at noon. Principal Marc Smith said they do not allow students to ask for seconds, since it would cause confusion while so many students are being served. Served Geared Portions They are served portions geared to size in quantity ac cording to their age, sex, ac tivities, and their capacity, A youngster can ask for either more or less than the regular serving, Smith said. Ie also pointed out that the minimum amount served reaches the minimum state required standards. Mrs. Bryan (Eve) Lambert started her duties as head cook Jan. 1 at the grade started her career as a cater ess while young and later at a trainer In that field. She has been a cook and dietitian in various hospitals and other places. She joined the staff at the Eagle Point grade school cafeteria when the opening was left vacant by the transfer of the head cook: to the new primary school cafeteria. Helping Mrs. Lambert in the cafeteria are Mrs. Jaclc Jenkins and Mrs. Christine Linder. Mrs. Frank Hixson is an extra helper when needed. Both principals agreed that an accounting of the financial standings of the cafeterias since its division could not be estimated until they had been in operation at least a month, but felt the division was beneficial to all students. Doll Hospital in Medford Is Busy Place Since Its Opening By DOT SIMMONS Mail Tribune Correspondent "The Humpty Dumpty Doll hospital," owned and operat ed by Mr. and Mrs. Frank Denzer at 16 Western ave., has been a busy place since It's opening, approximately three months ago. After their family had grown, Mrs. Denzer began to wonder how to occupy her time. She had always done a lot of sewing for the family, and decided just making doll clothes alone, would not ful fill her ambitions, so she de cided to take a home course in doll repairing. She found that a course could be taken in seven months. She was sent mate rial on how to make patterns for doll clothes and all phases of repairing. The first step was making rag dolls, then clothes. In practice, an 1850 reproduction doll was used in making clothes and assem bling parts of dolls. Think of Appropriate Name While practicing, she decid ed to be thinking of an ap propriate name. She recalled how Humpty Dumpty had a great fall and decided on using him in her name. Her oldest daughter found a pat tern for the humpty dumpty dolls, and she then decided to have one as a mascot for the hospital. The dolls are made from various print materials. The head is of unbleached mus lin. She embroiders the faces and uses tape as a top-knot for the hair. Denzer assists with the more difficult operation of re pairing, using various tools such as sorting hooks, eye ex pansion tools, long and blunt nosed pliers, pliers for sort ing elastic, exact c-knife, small spatula and an electric soldering gun. This takes much ingenuity and patience. He said walking dolls are par ticularly difficult to repair because of the mechanical parts involved. The repairing is done most ly on play dolls, since antique dolls entail a great deal of research. No two companies assemble dolls In an identical way, Mrs. Denzer said. This makes the parts much more difficult to assemble. Often parts are not avail able and many times when the original price may not warrant putting in an expen sive part they must make their own, since they try to keep expenses on repairs at a minimum. They also have parts for persons who want to do the work themselves. Mrs. Denzer feels that doll repairing is time consuming, requires a lot of Ingenuity, patience and strength, but is gratifying and fun. The Denzers hope their doll hospital will fill the needs of the community.

Jackson County Farm Shows SI ,600 Profit During Year Jackson county farm home agricultural operation showed a profit of $1,600.65, accord ing to figures compiled - by County Purchasing Coordin ator William Cochran last week. However, County Judge Earl M. Miller said this does not present a true picture. Miller pointed out that actu ally the county farm shows only a $569.80 profit. Cochran pro-rated this year's purchase of a new gas irrigation pump, new hay ele vator and land leveling ex pense over a 10-year depre ciation period as he would have in private business. This cannot be done in county bus iness. The pump at $374.20, elevator at $310.60 and level ing at $346.28 total a cost this year to the county of $1,030 and must be included as an expense this year, Miller said. Has Had Beef "The county farm has had beef for some time. But, the garden is a wash-out," the county judge said Friday aft ernoon. Cochran agreed that meet and produce could be purchased from private sources Just as inexpensively. Miller said the farm home budget has $40 left to buy seed for the spring planting. This is not enough money, he said. The county farm oper ation is without funds to op erate for the remaining six months of the fiscal year, or to July 1. The required money can not be borrowed from emer gency funds, he stated, al though County Commissioner Edwin Taylor, farm propon ent, sharply disagreed "We are not ready to .,iake a decision on this now," Mil ler said. "The farm did have excellent yields this past year." Cochran's figures show as sets totalling $7,031. This in eludes 24 beef butchered to talling 10,012 pounds at 40 cents a pound tor a value of 1 $4,004.80. The property pro duced 62 tons of oat hay baled at $20 a ton valued at $1, 240. Produce raised totalled 31,674 pounds valued at $1,- 786.20. Expenses totalled $5,430.35. Main items of expense listed were purchase of 25 head of cattle $1,997.76 and nan ol Welfare Crew Supervisor Ed Leach's salary charged to the farm operation at $1,062.40. Other items included kill ing, cutting and wrapping beef, new gas irrigation pump, prorated expense of new hay elevator, land leveling, tires for pump and elevator, veterinary expenses, hay bal ing, gas and oil, mechanical work on tractor and equip- Fallout Shelters To Be Stocked Soon Salem -IUPD- Stocking of the first public fallout shelters in Oregon is scheduled within the next two weeks, state Civil Defense Director Robert W. Standstrom said Thursday. Supplies will be moved from the federal government warehouse in Troutdale to six county seats for 21 buildings licensed as shelters. The first shipments will go to Benton, Grant, Klamath, Lake, Umatilla and Yamhill counties. The survival kits Include high-calorie biscuits, water containers, medical and sani tation supplies, and radiation detection instruments. Dorris Company Buys Klamath Forest Legs Yreka - The American For est Products Corporation of Dorris, Calif., was high bid der for 12,100,000 board feet of pine and fir tirribcr in the East Shovel Creek unit, Klam ath National forest, recently. Total advertised value was $71,706. The value based on th highest bid was $149,700. ment, miscellaneous small tools and parts, irrigation charge on 31 acres, garden seed, alfalfa and oats, 22 tons of hay fed cattle, and gas and repairs on county equipment used in connection with the farm. Judge Miller pointed out that total value of beef and produce charged to the coun ty farm home for patient con sumption was $2,691.47, yet the food consumption July through December compared to the previous year showed a difference of only $351.72 The saving should have been closer to the $2,691.47 value of food received, he said. Farm expenses apportioned to the farm home totalled $599.24, Miller noted. Taylor retorted that Rob ert Rucker, farm home ad ministrator has $700 in his budget left to purchase beef, He said Rucker killed some young beef before they were ready for daughter and this was not reflected in the fig ures Cochran compiled. Miller continued that other county institutions show the same disparity between value of food received and the sav ing. County Jail Account The county jail food account shows $1,420.87 more was spent for food from July through December, 1962, than the previous year so does not show any saving. He admitted the jail had 41 more prison ers than in 1961, but some saving should have been shown, he argued. The county Judge said the county has many other Jobs for prisoners and welfare workers to do without work ing on the county farm. Pris oners do not have adequate supervision at the farm, Mil ler said. commissioner iaylor ac cused the county Judge of "tearing the farm to pieces.' He declared one year is not a fair trial for the farm. tk''''"" JCF Since 1909 For Safe Insured Savings JCF's savings plan is convenient and profitable . . . better than average earnings paid twice yearly ... on June 30th and December 31st.
