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.

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.

The First Lady has given
up riding horses during her

without being observed by
any outsiders. She also swims
in the pool near the lodge
that the late President Frank

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

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.

and Camp Tocanja, August
12 to 28. The campers have
been selected for their excel-
lent camping skills; and hi
the course of their camp ex
perience they will participate
in a variety of different pro
ects on an experimental basis
in order to test the practica
bility of carrying out similar
projects in local communities
throughout the country.
Some girls will survey po
tential camping sites and
study new uses of existing
camp sites; others will help
develop wildlife sanctuaries.
Still others will help prepare
Girl Scout leaders in camp
ing techniques which will en
able the leaders to bring bet
ter camping to more girls.
This special camping proj
ect, known as All-States En-
campment, will have
total

Each camper will have an
opportunity to Improve her
own campcraft skills, enjoy
cookouts, hikes and games,
and have an opportunity to
meet Girl Scouts from many
other parts of the United
States. It is expected that All
States Encampment partici
pants will gain experience
in leader training techniques
which they can bring back to
their own councils; upon her
return home, each girl will
help at least one troop to go
camping.

campment is the second stage
of a three-year plan through
which the Girl Scout nation
al organization hopes to even
