Women's News Pungent Water Cress Delightful for Spring Water cress in southern Oregon streams and springs already has appeared and has grown sufficiently to be of use in salads and other dishes. Something that many persons may not realize is that the green tops should be clipped or cut off above the roots, for otherwise even a heavy growth of the cress can be destroyed in a scasofi. The roots are loosely sus pended in the water and if the cress is pulled out, the entire plants are destroyed. To those who know water cress, it is one of the delights of early spring to gather and use the pungent, spicy greens. Water cress has been known throughout the ages and is believed to be a native to Asia Minor and to the Mediterranean area. A Ger man, Nicholas Mcssincr, is re ported to have cultivated water cress in the middle six teenth century. It quickly naturalized itself and may he found growing wild from Nova Scotia to Florida, west to Idaho, California and Ore gon, wherever there are small gently flowing streams, shal low pools or ditches. Doth Restore" Lord Bacon wrote in the sixteenth century, "the eating of water cress doth restore the wanted bloom to the checks of old-young ladies." "Darius, eat your water cress you will grow big and strong," may have been the forerunner of today's reproof "cat your spinach." Persians were advised to provide water cress for the children's diet if they wanted to im prove their growth. Water cress has a good nu trient supply. In two and one-half cups it will provide 4.700 international units of Vitamin A, 43 milligrams of Vitamin C, 120 milligrams of calcium with small amounts of other nutrients and eleven calories. One cup of water cress chopped equals four ounces. As purchased, five average bunches will weigh about a pound. In Salads - The tender leaves and stems can be eaten raw in salads. Combine the cress with other greens and raw vegetables or use it as a garnish on hot and cold dishes. Water cress in sandwiches is a popular use, and it is used in the French soup called Pottage Cression- niere, and in Kalian Mine strone soup. The Chinese have long used It in their egg drop, won ton and other Dance Slated At Domiciliary L.aaics auxiliary to the Veterans of Foreign Wars. De partment of Oregon, is spon soring a hard limes dance to night at 8 o'clock at the Vet erans' Administration domi ciliary, White City. Prizes will be awarded for the two best costumes in the men's and women's division. Transportation for host esses will be provided by the domiciliary at 7:30 o'clock at the Greyhound bus depot.

Another favorite American way is to use it as a salad green arranged with favorite fresh or canned fruit and top ped with French dressing. Cress is available in stores throughout most of the year with peak supplies in May, June and July. Men wearing hip boots and equippd with sharp slender knives wade through the cress beds cutting the stems and tying into bunches. It should not be stored for more than a few days and kept between 32 to 34 de grees. When kept in the home refrigerator, bunched cress should be untied, any dam aged or yellow leaves re moved, and the cress should be washed gently but thor oughly in cold water. Drain well and finish drying the cress on a towel or absorbent paper. Store in a clean con tainer with tight-fitting cover.

MEDFORD. OREGON Servicemen Eager for News of Home By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor New York - IUPD - U.S. mili tary men stationed overseas are just as eager for news of home and entertainment as they ever were during a war, says a Missouri-born girl who holds an unique po- 8." I'M United Serv- aWfi tiJk c,e Organize- Gay Pauley t 1 0 n S, Inc. (USO). "Only thing is," said Miss M. J. Boyer, 24, a brown-eyed blonde, "people back home don't remember this as per tinently as they did during the war years, it seems." "We will have GIs come up after a show and say, 'There really are girls, after all'," she added. "But their main conversation is about home . . . what's going on there . . . how long it'll be until they get back." Miss Boyer, according to USO, is its only female triple threat manager producer per former. She casts the mem bers of the troupe for tours, doles out the weekly pay checks, puts together and re hearses the various acts, and also sings, dances and acts in what usually is a revue. M. J., she uses the initials from her first name of Mary Jane because she dislikes the monicker and her "Eight On the Go" revue - four men, four girls - has just returned from a Mediterranean tour. "The weather was diaboli cal," said the trim Miss Boy er. All of Europe, even parts of the Mediterranean, have had the worst winter in many years. The military transports the performers as near as it can, under weather conditions, to the spot they're to perform. From then on, she said, be ing "on your own is some times horrendous. Once in Turkey, we used ferry, barge and train to get to a base." USO calls the Eastern Medi terranean one of its toughest circuits for entertainment be cause of isolation of bases and of weather, a spokesman said.

Although, a lot of the travel is in bucket seats (typi cal compartment equipment for military aircraft) and the country doesn't look at all like travel posters when you get there."

Seven out of ten working wives pool all their paycheck with the husband, according to a survey made by home economists of the U.S. Department of Agricul ture. Two out of ten keep all money separate, while a few pooled part and handled the rest themselves. The younger women were the ones who did the most pooling into the fam ily purse.
