THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1963 MKDFOllD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON Feeding the Family ZOLITA VINCENT Food Editor Writing Feeding the Family was one of Zola Vincent's great est pleasures as it was my pleasure to be Mother's associ ate and to work with her over the 14 years "Feeding" has been in existence. A long-time friend of ours said to me re cently, "Your Mother never ate ... she always dined." A truism for sure. She considered food to be an integral part of hospi tality, and that, no matter how simple, it should be thoughtfully prepared and attractively served whether she was dining alone or as a compliment to her guests. In her memory, this week I am presenting some of her fa vorite recipes and ways with foods. Many will be recognized, I am sure.

Confirms Pistol Carrying McDowell's attorney, Jack Young of Jackson, confirmed for the first time Wednesday that his client did carry a pistol to class but indicated he did so with good reason. "There is no denying that McDowell had the pistol," Young said. "There were cer tain c i r c u m stances which prompted him to carry it." However, neither Young nor McDowell would reveal the cir cumstances. Young said it had not been decided whether McDowell would show up for a justice of the peace hearing in Oxford Saturday to face charges of car rying a concealed weapon. Mc- Evers praised the council for recommending to university au thorities that McDowell be ex- cials "merely upheld the law." "If every Negro was given as equal a chance as Cleve was given," Evers said, "then they wouldn't be afraid to go to court in Mississippi." He singled out Champ Ter ney, president of the council and a son-in-law of Sen. James O. Eastland (D-Miss.) for spe cial praise. "He showed the respect that Dowell could forfeit $250 bond instead.
