MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORO, OREGON THURSDAY. JUNE IS, IMS D 7 Mothersof Brides Have Menu Planning Problems Br JEANNE LESEM White Plains, N.Y. -Mothers -of brides ask the darndest questions about menu planning. One intrepid hostess once wrote General Foods for a menu that would serve 150 and could be prepared by one or two persons. The home economises suggested sand-wiches-chicke nsalad, cream cheese and nuts on whole wheat, and ham, with punch; cake, plain or with ice cream, and coffee. Another cook wanted to know what to serve besides cake, nuts and punch at an outdoor evening reception for 530 guests. Still another plan ned to bake rolls for 400 suests. The food company's test kitchen figured 600 rolls would be sufficient (an aver age of IVi rolls per person) but advised against home bak ing for all but the most ex perienced cooks. Suggestions Questions such as these prompted the home econom ists to offer these general sug gestions for hostesses who plan to do their own catering lor bridal parties: If you are hostess at pre-wedding meal, check with the mother of the bride to make sure you aren't duplica ing her menu. If you are, it's up to you to change yours. Plan consomme instead of cream soup or seafood MOLB Elects' Delegates; Cookout Held Mrs. Ben Allison and Mrs. run Post were elected as dele- 1 gates from the Roguette cir- I cle.

Don t try to make cakes and rolls at home if your guest list runs to the hun dreds. Go to a local bakery ov a nearby restaurant whose owner may be willing to or der for you from the com mercial bakery it uses. Ask the baker if you are unsure about the size of the main cake, the amount need ed, and the cutting procedure. He may suggest that you or der extra pans of cakes that can be cut in the kitchen while the bride and bride groom cut the main one be fore the guests. This way, more guests can be served promptly. Serving sandwiches? Make them a day ahead and pack them in foil-lined, foil-cover ed pans, one variety to a pan, so that the bread stays moist and the flavors don't mix. Then, refrigerate until serving time. Save Trips Save repeated trips to the kitchen and keep service plates full by stacking sand wiches on -doilies on large round plates. Separate the layers with lace paper doil ies that decrease about one inch in diameter with each stack. Use about four or five layers only as many as will look dainty and appetizing. For greater variety, serve both sandwiches and bite- size cream puffs filled with chicken or seafood salad. The shells can be made ahead of time and frozen, then thaw ed and filled on the day of the party. If your guest list includes both children and adults, plan one menu to please both gen erations. Here's a lunch menu suggested by the home eco nomists to serve 60 adults and 14 children: sliced turkey and ham, potato salad gar nished with stuffed eggs and cucumber slices, cubed toma to aspic on salad greens with French dressing, cake, ice cream, coffee, a champagne punch, and a non-alcoholic punch. -PUFFY Creamy chicken salad makes an unusual filling for tiny cream puffs. Blend two tablcsnoons oi vinegar wun one envelope of french salad dressing mix and one cup of dairv sour cream Stir in three cups eacn or finely chopped cooked chick en and finely chopped celery, and two tablespoons of coarsely chopped walnuts. Chill two hours to blend fla vors. Remove shallow pieces from tops of six dozen 1-incn miffs, fill with chilled saiaa and replace tops. Refrigerate any that are not served im mediately 31 I f I TO - Tht wardrobe presented to Mitt Rogua- Vallay by area merchants includes this light blue sharkskin middy suit from The Carriage House which she will use as a talent rehearsal costume.

Miss Callaghan. pictured here in Hawthorne park, is a South ern Oregon college student. (Cinematography photo) With all sorts of work around the garden and house Just crying to be done. Potpourri resented a tew hours ot en forced leisure following a trip to the dentist. But don't think we just sat and stared into space - we made ourselves as comfortable as possible on the patio lounge and read for almost three hours. Mostly we ran through a great stack of clippings which Pal Peg gleaned from the New York Times and like clippings from any good newspaper, the sub jects were many and varied. . One was an advertisement headed " Just What the Doctor Ordered" and guess what it was about - a genuine jade Fidget Stone." The text said that fiddling with the fidget stone will cause "euphoria to set in" and that it is "prettier than pills, more fun than a massage and soothing a! lullaby." Don't laugh too quickly - we've read that these objects to hold in the hand and play with do have a sooth ing effect. The price of the jade object is $10, so it we Icel in need of a fidget stone, we 11 Just find ourselves a pretty Oregon agate.

Housewarming Honors Women Ashland-A group of former school friends and mothers of several, surprised Mrs. David Dcller and her mother, Mrs. Thelma Fox, with a house- warming shower and party June 13. Hostesses were Mrs. Faith McCullough and Miss Janet McCullough who enter tained in their home at 13? Church street. Mr, and Mrs. Dcller recent ly bought the former Fox home at S75 Scenic drive where Mrs. Deller had lived a small girl. Her mother came to Ashland from Holly wood for a week's visit in her old home. A variety of household gifts was piled beneath a flower-centered parasol and during the evening the guests hemmed luncheon napkins, reminisced and enjoyed hot weather refreshments. At dishwashing time, make it a habit to dip a sponge into clean soap or detergent auds and wipe the refrigerator door, stove knobs, and draw er handles. This erases tell tale finger tracks and food splashes. Ashland Club Elects Officers Ashland - Members of Ash land Study club elected new officers at their annual lunch eon meeting held Monday at the home of Mrs. Horace My ers, 800 Clarence lane. The business session was conduct ed by Mrs. R. Drew Lamb. President for the coming year will be Mrs. Elizabeth Sommer. Mrs. Faith McCul lough was elected vice presi dent and Mrs. Frances Hardy was reelected secretary-treasurer. Mrs. Len Osgood is to be program chairman. "My Life in Court" by Lou Is Nizer was the book review ed by Mrs. Harry Skerry. It is the personal account of the lawyer's experience and h I s opinions on such significant Issues as libel, divorce, pla giarism, negligence and fac tions. The author's widely publi cized case of Quentin Reyn olds vs. Westbrook Pegler fur nished a large part of the re view and was given in some detail. The controversy stirred recrimination and bitter charges on both sides and brought Into court an array of celebrities in government and journalistic circles. Other cases cited by the New York attorney had to do with the differences between the divorce laws of England and this country. Only the ver dict and actual outcome may be reported in the press of Great Britain. Cases of pla giarism included the "lifting" of melodies from songs, while the author stated that charges of negligence are among the most difficult to prove. Mrs. Harold Merrill chose for her selected subject "The Lady of the Louvre" based upon an article in the National Geographic by a Washington newsman who accompanied the famous smiling visitor to the United States last spring. In an imaginary interview with ageless Mona Lisa travel ing in air-conditioned privacy the correspondent recounts her life of 450 years ago, ask ing questions about Floren tine life and such current events as Columbus' trip. At the conclusion of Mrs. Merrill's talk Mrs. Louise Perozzi recalled seeing daVin ci's preliminary paintings of I the famous lady which she de clared revealed a more beau tiful expression than the well known enigmatic smile in th final portrait after three yeara sitting for the artist. Guests attending the lunch eon meeting were Mrs. V. W. Gore of Eupora, Miss., sister in-law of Mrs. Lamb, and Mrs, Robert Sharyon, Modesto, Cal if., daughter-in-law of Mrs. Sharyon. The hostesses assisting Mrs, Myers were the Mesdames L F. Andres, Osgood, Sommer, Lamb and H. F. Jenkins.

For years Potpourri looked for some place to put our car keys rather than in the boiioiti of a big purse filled with a hundred other objects. However, now that a kind friend gave up a key ring with a big, bright glass bead ornament, our aroblem is partially solved, this is mucn easier to carry (just slip it on the little finger while running ouick errand into a store) and the bright ornament manes it easier to find among the necessary junk in the handbag. We also read about a church with an unusual problem - too many persons want to get inside. It is the new Episcopal cathedral in Coventry, England. This cathedral, built to re place the one destroyed by bombing during World War II, is becoming world tamous Decause oi us magnmceni arcni tecture and setting and because of its extensive program to reach Into the community." It has become one of England s greatest tourist attractions and on a recent Sunday, 6,000 persons attempted to attend services were, ine cawcarai had to turn away thousands and some who had waited a long time in long "queues" as they say in fcngiana, wrote angry letters. Some pointed out that those who were at tempting to enter the church to pray should have precedence over those who just wanted to see a beautiful building. Those who want to enter to worship should be able to ao so, oi course, but think of the dilemma of the tourist who has trav eled thousands of miles to see the lamous DUiiaing ana wno will never pass that way again. We also read that a new edition - the 42nd - of the book, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" is being issued. This book about a professional lady has sold 2,000.000 copies since 1925. The Times reporter had interviewee ine aumor, Anna uoos, wno made a couple of astute observations on modern times. There's no gaiety any more," said Miss Loos. "We just nave grave' nuclear humor . . . Today, Freud has taken the fun from life and given us guilt feelings. That's why we can't go back. But who wants to?" She added philosophically that "The astronauts will bring a breath of grandeur to life. You can't go from an analysts couch into a space capsule. New York City has talking trash containers. One Times reporter told how a woman walking down one of the city s streets threw a gum wrapper on the street only to have a voice from the trash can say "Madam, a cleaner New York is up to you!" When the woman turned around and glared at the receptacle It said "I m wveiy louie ana i a ime to be of use." While the trash basket and the pedestrian carried on a conversation which included information about wnai sne did to earn a living and the name of her latest novel, a crowa collected. Finally the woman said she had to.be running along and the trash' can said "Goodby" In a polite tone. This.-of course, is one of the gimmicks used in New xorK to train residents to keep the streets clean. A two-way microphone is put Inside the can and a Department of Sani tation worker, concealed inside a ncaroy ouuaing, is ine watchful voice. - Later in the day when The Mail Tribune arrived we read that the first woman cosmonaut had landed safely in Russia after spending about three days orbiting the earth. Many women in this country have expressed irritation that it had to be a Russian woman and one feminine flyer even went so far as to say that this country was about "a hundred years" behind the times in its use of women in the field of aviation. She exaggerated, ot course, but one can under stand her annoyance. If we can believe what we've read from many different sources, women in this country fall behind the Russian wom en in some other respects, too. There are many more Russian women attorneys, doctors and scientists than in the United States. Every writer or authority gives a different reason for this being true. Since some American women do enter these fields, and are successful, why don't more of them do so? Wasted potential talent and ability is bad, whether it is a man or a woman whose Inherent capabilities are not being developed and used. This if one more problem which this nation must tolveO.S.
