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

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

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

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.
