Following the last concert,
a party was given in honor
of Conductor John Trudeau,
Portland, and his musicians
who were from several cities
in the three far western
states. Mrs. Charles J. Walker
loaned her home for the event,
and it was held on the patio
Present in addition to Mr.
Trudeau and his wife and
members of the orchestra
were Sam McKinncy, Port
land, managing director, and
Mrs. McKinney, officers and
directors, staff members,
members of the Jacksonville
city council, and Jacksonville
and Medford residents who
had housed the musicians.
More than 100 were pres
ent.
Friday night Eugene Ben
nett and Robertson Collins
were hosts for a progressive
party given for the musicians.
The group assembled first at
Mr. Bennett's studio, sun
South Oregon street, and later
continued to Mr. Collins'
home, 105 North Third street.
Other smaller parties were
given, and at some of these
groups of the musicians play
ed for the pleasure of their
hosts and other guests.
Sunday a group of the mu
sicians gave an impromptu
concert on the lawn at the
Medford airport when a long
delayed plane forced the
players to remain at the port
with nothing to occupy their
time.

Marriage Makes
Better Student
Myth, Says Dean
Austin, Tex. -IUPD- A Uni
versity of Texas dean says the
idea that marriage makes for
better students is a myth.
"We find marriage seldom
makes a good student out of
a poor one," Dean of Students
Glenn Barnctt says.
Barnett warned that mixing
marriage and college can
mean troubles for both hus
band and wife.
'If the wife was a compe
tent student and dropped out
for marriage," Barnett says,
"she frequently feels an un
derlying resentment if her
student husband doesn't ex
cel."
"In many cases," he adds,
"his grades go down as the
time and concentration needed
for his work are nibbled away
by the demands of family
life."
Barnett also says that a student-father
can grow extreme
ly sensitive about his own po
sition while his wife plays the
role of breadwinner.
"When a girl tells me she is
quitting to get married," Bar
nctt says, "I try to impress
upon her the importance of
continuing her own education
some time, whether soon or
many years from now.
"The boy she marries is go
ing to continue to grow and
probably become a leader in
his profession and his com
munity. Her growth will have
to keep pace with his if the
marriage is to succeed," Bar
nett says. I
Pie A La Mode Started

When Mrs. Berry Hall, an

was acceptable enough to
Townsend who wasn't fussy
as long as his favorite dessert
was served.

High Birth Rate Aid to
Maternity Wear Makers
By GAY PAULEY
UPI Women's Editor
New York-lUPIl-The annual
baby crop means a harvest of
profits for all business cater
ing to the carriage set. The
latest to enjoy a boom because
of the high birth rate-4.2 mil
lion expected this year in the
United States including one
addition at the White House
are the makers of maternity
wear.
No longer is the expectant
mother's apparel a matter of a
few maternity frocks bor
rowed from friend or relative
or made from regular dresses.
Today's woman buys a
whole maternity wardrobe,
with the result that sales in
the United Slates should
reach $250 million in 1963,
reports William Ryan, buyer
for one national chain of
stores (J. C. Penney company).
The ranee in style is from
daytime clothes to swim suits,
cocktail dresses to tapered
slacks.
Jackie Set Pace
Ryan, buyer for 1,700
stores, said Mrs. John F. Ken
nedy's chic dress during preg
nancy is one factor in the
style consciousness of other
molhers-to-bc.
But he says the strongest
edge ol "pie a la mode,"
Townsend was astonished and
then indignant, lie called the
manager and described how a
little hotel in Cambridge, N.Y.
regularly served the dish.
Featured on Menu '
With Dclmonico's reputa
tion al stake, the flustered
manager ordered "pie a la
mode" featured on the daily
menu.
A reporter from the old
Now York Sun overheard the
conversation and the emer
gence of "pie a la mode" was
lold in a feature story in the
daily the next day. Other
newspapers across the nation
followed suit and the dessert
was soon a household standby.
Why did the phrase "a la
mode'' become so quickly as
sociated with a mound of ice
cream on a slice of pie'.' A
Wagner college history profes
sor noted thai "a la mode"
was used widely in the 18!)0's
to describe anything extreme
ly fashionable.
A few persons arc aware of
the origin of the term.
National Reputation
Walter Gann, present own

a phonc-in-thcanswer quiz
program in New York when
Ihe dessert's birthplace was

"Instead she goes bowling,

the blessing of her doctor.
Dozens of high priced
couturiers who once would
design for very slim only now
are busy also creating accor
dion pleats, concealed seams
and hidden folds in an effort
to add style to maternity
dress.
Maternity apparel is old as
Eve, but it wasn't until the
seventeenth century that the
French began designing
clothes specifically for the
pregnant. They introduced the
Walteau, a pretty shapeless
number, named for the
French artist who was partial
to the style in his paintings.
Ryan said research at the
costume institute of the Metro
politan Museum of Art indi
cated Marie Antoinette pop
ularized maternity fashions by
designing her own, sweeping
negligees with a wide, flow
ing front.
The wrappers, hanging
loosely from shoulder yokes
and tied as the wearer wished,
came along in the 1890's. As
late as 1902, Vogue magazine
was advising its readers to
make their dresses from such
stiff materials as linen "with
a skirt that can be easily
lengthened in the front."
Talk of emancipation for
women called for a new style j
so the "porch gown" appeared
in 1913, a dress that permitted i
the timid mother-to-be to
hazard as least an appearance I
on the front porch. !

A Snack-Eating Society
By JEANNE LESEM
United Press International
New York IUPD We've be
come a snacking society.
A study of American house
hold eating habits shows that
26 per cent of all meals eaten
at home during a six-month
period last year were between
meal snacks. That's a six per
cent increase over the com
parable period five years ear
lier, j
Fifty-three per cent of those
snacks were eaten by women.
15 per cent of whom were in
the 23 to 44-year-age bracket.
Men of comparable age ac
counted for only 10 per cent
of between-meal snacks and
13 to 17-year-old boys, only
four per cent.
These and some other sur
prising statistics were re
vealed in the second national
household menu census, a proj
ect covering 4,000 United
States families. The Market
Research Corporation of
America (MRCA) which made
the census, says the consumer
panel represents a cross-section
of the U.S. population.
Much of the census informa
tion is available only to sub
scribers, who include major
food companies. They use the
results for guidance in devel
oping new products, improv
ing old ones, and planning ad
vertising campaigns and prod
uct distribution.
Unclassified material in

Despite the wide availabil
ity of commercial products,
home-made versions of cer
tain hot dishes still were pre

chipped beef. 90 per cent of
the beef hash (not including
corned beef hash), 100 per
cent of the lamb slew, 97 per
cent of Ihe stuffed cabbage
and 93 per cent of the stuffed
peppers. Only commercial
beef pot pie outranked the
homemade variety, 81 per
cent to 19 per cent.
The MRCA census indicated
that we eat far fewer leftovers
than many families suspect.
Panelists reported that only
seven per cent of the dishes
served were leftovers.
Expensive or not, beefsteak
is served at least once a week
in low income homos, MRCA
said. Fourty-four per cent of
the panelists with incomes
under $4,000 a year said they
served steak at least once a
week, and those who served
it at all ate it an average of
more than twice weekly.
The kitchen, surprisingly,
outranked other rooms as the
favorite eating spot for all
meals, although its popularity
declined slightly in the five
years from 1957 to 1962.
The study showed that
breakfast remains the most
frequent meal eaten at home,
and eggs are a popular food
for that meal. Nearly 8,600
eggs were served during one
two-week period in 1,000
homes, 6,700 of them at the
morning meal.
A few families reported odd
breakfast preferences, such as
ice cream and commercial
chocolate bars. There were
five reported breakfasts of
pickles, two of potato chips
and one of olives.
The latter has historical
precedence. Napoleon is said
to have polished off fried egg
and bean salad breakfasts
with olives for dessert.
