OSU Gives Good Eating Hints tor Ulder Folks Older folks can idd more life to their yean and perhaps years to their lives by follow. in good eating hints from Oregon State university nutri tionists. In 1900, 48 was considered the average life span for adults. Today, 70 is an overall average. And those who reach 70 have prospects of living another i years. Following a basic food pat tern all through life plus daily exercise of some kind contributes greatly to vibrant living, say home economists. Here are some of their sug gestions for older folks: Forget birthdays and enjoy good eating by regular use of foods selected from basic food groups - meat, fish, poultry, milk, cereals and breads, veg etables and fruits. The many vitamins now known to be es sential in human nutrition are available through the gener ous supply of foods on grocery store shelves. Are vitamin pills necessary? Only if ad vised by your doctor. After you reach 40, your metabolism will likely slow down even though you remain as active as always. Although you need less food, you still need all the nutrients food provides, advise specialists, so cut down on calorie-rich foods that supply energy but not special vitamins. Desserts (es ' pecially those that contain fat and sugar), carbonated drinks and sweet rolls fall in this class. If you live by yourself, how can you make foods taste and look good? Buy small amounts They may cost more but they stay fresh for the length of time it takes to eat them. Use many of the dried, frozen and canned foods. Nonfat dry milk stores well for months on the pantry shelf and can be mixed a glass at a time. A loaf of bread goes a long ways if you freeze half and use the rest fresh. Storing bread in the re frigerator retards mold but hastens staling. Take time to prepare some thing that looks good and it'll taste better, they advise. Put a small bouquet of flowers on the table, use some of the nice dishes you save for "good," and invite a friend in to eat. Go Easy If you need to watch your weight, go easy on high-calorie foods. Generally, those foods that are greasy, heavy for their size, sweet and gooey, carry the most calories. Substitute low fat toppings (made from nonfat milk) for whipping cream, lemon juice or mayonnaise, and a little grated cheese for rich gravies. By just cutting down on the amount of fats, you can reduce your calorie intake quite easily. All foods contain calories but fat foods carry nine calories per gram com pared to four calories per gram for protein and carbohydrates. Two Piece Original Ensemble by Shirlee Ann of Medford If chewlni 1 difficult r,,K chop or grind some foods. Think twice before you in vest a large sum of money in a blender or juicer. You can't put any more food value into a looa than was originally there. In other words, venetahla juices are not any more nu tritious than the fresh veget ables. Cook vegetables until Just tender in about one-half cup of water. See that greens are kept in the refrigerator in plastic bags and used while still crisp and fresh. Cheap Tonic Walking is a good cheap tonic even in the rain. It keeps muscles and heart strong and improves circulation in the coronary areas. Be reasonable when dealing with fats. No conclusive evi dence exists at present that there need to be drastic changes in the diet unless under doctor's orders. Studies have shown that Americans eat too much of all kinds of fats and they could cut con siderably on total amount eaten. Since food plays such a vital part In our lives, you can never "retire" from the re sposibility of eating kinds and amounts you need, home econ omists stress.

Pictured above is a group of mem bers who entertained at a recent breakfast ride In Pioneer village, Jacksonville. In the front row, left to right are Danny Steven Friends Say First Lady 'Aglow' By HELEN THOMAS United Press International Washington tUPD President and Mrs. Kennedy are not mulling over any names for the new baby, due in August. The Kennedys are supersti tious about picking a name for a child before it is born. As for whether she would like a boy or a girl, the Presi dent's wife happily points out she has one of each - five-year-old Caroline and two-year-old John Jr. Friends say Mrs. Kennedy will be "de lighted with either a boy or girl. I Friends of the First Lady say she is aglow, in a won derful mood and happy. They also say that she feels more free now that the White House official doings have been lifted from her shoul ders. She is said to feel that for a change, she can live her own life - for the next few months at least. Doesn't Ride Mrs. Kennedy is rarely seen in public these days. She spends long week ends with her children at Camp David, the presidential retreat near Thurmont, Md. Both Presi dent Kennedy and his wife have come to enjoy the Navy operated hideaway in the Ca- toctin mountains for the sheer privacy it offers. Ontario Stratford Festival Growing Stratford, Onv. - flPD - The Stratford Shakespearean Fest ival, which built its own theater for its major produc tions, has purchased the Avon theater in the downtown area of the city to restore it to use as a legitimate playhouse. An adjoining building also was acquired. The diversified program of the festival is constantly growing and the parent theater is not sufficient to handle everything, conver sion of the new buildings will begin this fall. Cherry Tomatoes New York (UPB Cherry to matoes have been cultivated since the 16th century. They were known and enjoyed by Inca Indians in South Amer ica long before North Amer ica was discovered, says the United Fresh Fruit and Vege table association. The marble- sized fruit, available the year round in the United States, travels well and has a long shelf life. Around S00 B.C. during the golden age of Greece, the con. vention of the dowry was established. A man was ex pectcd to give his daughter at least one-tenth of his property upon her marriage.

' Life of Poet Ashland Club Program Topic Ashland - Harry Golden's recent book "Only in Ameri ca" was reviewed by Mrs. R. Drew Lamb when members of Ashland Study club met at the home of Mrs. Ralph Burgess, Monday afternoon. This semi-biographical story of Carl Sandburg, poet and historian, was born out of a great friendship between the two men. The reviewer com- mented that she considered Sandburg's greatest contribu tion to America his six-volume recorded history of Abraham Lincoln and the Civil War. According to the author of the biography Sandburg s ear ly life of hardship gave him an understanding of the com mon people of America. He has identified himself with the toilers. He has a peculiar kin ship with simple people and with children, and throughout his life has championed con- troversial movements. . One little known facet of Sandburg's attainments is his proficiency on the guitar learned from the famous Spanish Segovia. With an un trained but inspired voice the white-haired poet now sings folk songs to his own accom paniment as a concluding por tion of his lectures. Golden brackets Sandburg and Mark Twain as America's two "greats" of native litera ture. Like Mark Twain, the Illinois poet writes in vernac ular style of everyday hap penings among everyday peo. pie. Best known are his col- lected verses in "Chicago Poems." He also wrote chil dren's stories and a novel. "Remembrance Rock, as well as an autobiographical novel, "Always the Young Strang ers" published in 1053. Instead of the selected sub ject club members took part in an extemporaneous pro gram chosen from a wide va riety of subjects. They pre sented their comments in two somes that ranged from heat ed debate on current issues to nostolgic recollections of childhood. The next regular meeting of Ashland Study club will be held May 27 at the home of Mrs. Faith McCullough. 137 Church street.

Central Mrs. Kennedy also has been going frequently to Rattle snake mountain near Atoka, Va., to supervise furnishing of her new house. She has done all of the decorating her self and apparently has had a lot of fun doing it. The First Lady watches her weight and - being a devotee of the loose fitting look - she has been able to steer clear of obvious maternity clothes so far. Her No. 1 designer, Oleg Cassini, is making some new mother-to-be things for ner. And considering that she is the nation's No. 1 style set ter, they may start a new trend. Mrs. Kennedy doesn't see many letters that pour into tne White House. But .she's been getting a lot of congratu latory messages. She gets about 100 letters from Europe each week, the majority written In French, Many comment on her having another child and say it is "wonderful." Most of the let ters, however, ask the Presi dent's wife for help of one Kind or another. At the end of June, Mrs. Kennedy and her youngsters will go to Hyannis Port, Mass., for the summer. But she is expected to return to Washington to have the baby who will add a chapter to White House history.
