Ashland Club Reviews Book By Steinbeck ASHLAND - "The Winter of Our Discontent" by John Stein beck was reviewed at the last meeting of the Ashland Study Club by Mrs. 0. C. Maust.

The story depicts the tempta tions encountered by Ethan Allen Hawley when he suc cumbs to ideas contrary to his strict New England upbringing. Entangled .in his own devious machinations to rob a bank, Ethan becomes embroiled in other sinister connections in volving domestic as well as business morals. Dogdom, from champions to mongrel mutts, became a fas cinating topic for discussion fol lowing Mrs. Pickell's talk in which she traced the history of dogs to times of the cave man. Strange beliefs and legends sur round the dog and Egyptian ex cavations show that six thou sand years ago he not only was a royal prince's pet but was venerated for his part in war fare, p Amusing anecdotes added to the informative talk that includ ed illustrations of hundreds of breeds. The story of "The Dog" is a treasury no canine lover should . fail to read, declared Mrs. Pickell. Mrs. Elizabeth Sommer con ducted the club session and Mrs. Len Ossood introduced the program.

Then they are brittle enough to crack easily. To make nut curls, simmer shelled nuts in water for five minutes; then make paper-thin lengtnwise slices with a vege table peeler. The curls are simple and give an elegant garnish. To grind put the shelled nuts through the coarsest blade of the grinder. Use the ground nuts sprinkled on pastries as a gar nish, or cook into dishes to add extra flavor and crisp texture. Try them in party dips, in a cheese stuffing for celery, in deviled eggs, or for crumb-type pie crusts. Bite sized chunks of angel cake can be frosted (or left plain) and rolled in ground nuts, To chop the nuts, use a sharp French knife and a chopping board. Chopped nuts can be used in pastry, m creamed foods and in salads, to name a few uses.

Research is bringing solutions to the complex tooth decay prob lem closer each year, she em phasized, despite the fact that dental decay is trequenuy ac cepted with indifference or is ignored because it is neither dramatic nor raiai. u is pnunui, disfiguring and costly, however, Dr. Tank noted. Research has underlined the following points, she added. Accumulation of food contain ing carbohydrates on the tooth surfaces is necessary for growth and function of acid-producing i$i0ii0ii(i0i$i0i$i0ii$ii0ii0il$i0 zee, rX- ! fir- Mi n dnW f -&ti- aev ft TV s i S if 7 1 5- , 3.98 Versatile maternity skirt Styled in fins cotton ottoman microorganisms implicated in tooth decay. A specific strain of strepto cocci has been isolated as the caries-producing organism in ex perimental animals. It has been shown that dental caries is a transmittable disease in ro dents, but so far, it has not been proved that this is true in Humans. Sweets Are Factors Adhesive properties of sweets, as well as frequency of their in take, are contributing factors in tooth decay. Vitamin B-6 is as yet known to be the only vitamin with a caries-inhibiting potential in hu mans. Fluoride still is the trace ele ment of greatest promise in tooth decay control but molyb denium in food and vanadium in water show some caries-inhibiting property in humans. Tooth decay is SO per cent less among youngsters who drink water with a beneficial amount of flu oride than those whose drink ing water contains little or no fluoride. Breast feeding has a caries inhibiting effect on children, OSU studies indicate. Dr. Tank has been doing re search on nutrition and dental health at OreRon State Univer sity since 1953. Before that she was dentist in charge at the Philadelphia Community Cen ter for 26 years. Earlier, she was a dentist Jn Germany. Lists Rules Her recommended rules of dental health for children in clude: a well-balanced diet, re striction of sweets, proper use of toothbrush after eating, early and frequent visits to the den tist, and prevention and cor rection of irregularities of the teeth. Dr. Tank's latest reserch re port on dental health was pre sented Saturday at the special OSU School of Home Econom ics conference on "Advance in Nutrition," held this week. The conference is the first of four planned this year to commemo rate the 75th year of the Home Economics School, oldest in the West and fourth oldest in the country. The conferences will center around topics of concern to American families. Delicious Glazed Buns Here's a quick way to make glazed buns.

They were in the plumbing and heat- ine business in southern Oregon and also had mining interests here. In addition to active interest and participation in the Re bekah Lodge, Order of the East ern Star and Masonic Orders, they also were metallurgical re search analysts. Mr. Bowers gained notable recognition in 1934 for a major contribution in tne field ot science by patenting a gas elim ination process which gained him an invitation to join the Franklin Institute of Inventors. Mrs. Bowers received the De gree of Chivalry from the Re bekah Lodge for public service. The couple observed their fiftieth wedding anniversary in Medford. Among guests at the recent observance were a number of friends from the Southwood Park Baptist Church of Portland. The Stephen Nyes, who returned home not long ago after a tour which took them to England, Europe and Israel, will never forget a dinner party given in their honor while they were in Belgium. The dinner was in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Edmond Decorte, and honored the godparents of their two sons. Mr. Nye, one ot the godparents, had been unable to attend the christening ceremony held several years ago be cause of. the thousands of miles which separated the two fam ilies, but had promised that if ever he returned to Europe, he would visit the Decortes. This story goes back to World War II days when Mr. Nye, then a lieutenant-colonel in the U.S. Army, was stationed in Belgium and Mrs. Decorte was a secretary and interpreter at headquarters. The two families struck up a correspondence after the war ended, and it has continued throughout the years. So it was that when the Decortes learned the Nyes would be in Europe, they invited the Oregonians to spend some time in their home. Simone Decorte humorously referred to the gala dinner as a "summit meeting of the godparents." Done in the continental manner, the dinner began at 1 o'clock in the afternoon with champagne, continued through several courses with a different wine for each course, and concluded about 8:30 or 9 o'clock. It was served by a butler and caterer hired for the occasion. Since this type of enter taining is little known in this country, the Nyes were greatly interested and were told by their hosts that this is customary among Europeans giving dinners to celebrate important family occasions, even among those of limited means. The guests, numbering about 15, included members of the family and the man who had served as Mr. Nye's proxy when the christening ceremony was held. As the afternoon progressed, the guests danced between courses. One couple had come from Paris for the important event. D 11 v. :i n 3 v 'Mil. NEW YORK The womia of mystery will take over for for mal spring evenings. Fernando Sarmi designed for spring this long gown with sweeping skirt and a headcovering which alto serves as a stole. This gown Is In warp-printed silk in blue, pink and miuve tones. (UPI) After leaving Belgium and Paris, the Nyes sailed from Venice, Italy, on a cruise which took them to various ports, including Dubrovnik which they found extremely interesting with its old-world atmosphere. They were in Greece briefly, and then spent several days in Haifa, traveling from there on bus excursions to Tel Aviv and New Jerusalem. Tel Aviv is very modern with many new" buildings. Mrs. Nye reported. The travelers were highly impressed with the way tne Israelis nave industrialized their country and par ticularly with their farming methods and with the "kibbutzim," communities organized in a special manner with workers re ceiving all their housing and other needs but no money. Mrs. Nye reports that the Israeli countryside Is very beau tiful, though much of the land is extremely rocky; and both sne ana ner nusbana were particularly interested in the man- nnr In which thft lnnri n hpintf nlnntprl tn nlive trans rHriia fruits and to evergreens, the latter being planted with the triple purpose of soil conservation, a future lumber crop and the beauty of the landscape. Since the city of Jerusalem is still rigidly divided into two sections, one controlled by the Israelis and the other by the Jordanese, the Nyes were unable to tour the "old" half. The tour: guide pointed out soldiers on rooftops and explained that from time to time boundary line trouble still occurs. Since the "line" 'zanders higgledy-piggledy through the city, tourists aren't given to tours by themselves, it seems. ' The Nyes had trouble of an entirely different nature in Eng land. Steve, Mrs. Nye reports, found it wasn't altogether easy to learn to drive on the left side of the road and ended up by scraping the rented car a few times. O.S. Family Visits In Prospect ''.
