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. Mrs.
Gordon Pickell chose for the
half-hour subject the National
Geographic book "The Dog."
Hostess for the meeting was
Mrs. Frances Hardy, 107 Gran
ite Street.
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. She announced that
Mrs. Ruth Dews will give the
book review and Mrs. Margaret
Dodge will have the selected
subject at the November 25
meeting when Mrs. Sommer will
be the hostess.
Mrs. Hardy served tea during
the social hour at the conclusion
of the meeting.
Brazil Nut Curls Add

add dasn to your baking any
time you decide to make cakes,
pies, cookies or candy.
lo make brazil nuts easier to
crack for quality shelling, put
them in the freezing compart
ment of the refrigerator for sev
eral hours or overnight. 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

nuts,
To chop the nuts, use a sharp

Causes and Prevention
Of Tooth Decay Studied
OREGON STATE UNIVER
SITY Recent advances in nu
trition and its relationship to
dental health are opening new
vistas on causes and prevention
of tooth decay, the most preva
lent of all chronic diseases, an
Oregon State University dental
nutritionist reports. ,
Dr. Gertrude Tank points out
that 99 per cent of all children
are affected by tooth decay, in
cluding the well fed populations
as well as the undernourished.
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

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. The recipe comes
from the test kitchens of the
Gas Appliance Manufacturers
Association. Preheat the gas
oven to 425 degrees. Then mix
Vt cup butter with V4 cup brown
sugar and half a cup of drained
crushed pineapple or chopped
nuts. Divide the mixture into
8 large muffin cups and place
a refrigerated biscuit on top of
each. Bake in a preheated oven
for 15 to 20 minutes. Invert the
buns immediately on a serv
ing plate to let the glaze run
over the sides.
British Men
Strutting In
Peacock Look
FASHIONETTES
United Press International
Males in England will be
strutting this winter in the new
"peacock look," says the Brit

new style features suits made
from two matching cloths, with
the jacket and waistcoat tailor
ed in a fabric differing from
that of trousers.
Ski jackets now come in tap
estry patterns. One hip-length
parka by Walter Jerome is
done in a print of pale tones on
a textured off white fabric. The
turtleneck knit collar is pink.
Another in the collection fea

The slick look's been afoot
with teen-age boys for some
time. This look features shoes
with thin sales and extreme
toes, like a cube or dagger.
Now, say shoemakers, the
trend is filtering into shoe styles
for grade school boys. It's ex
pected to show up in time for
the Easter parade.

Dana and Apphia Bowers
were married November 14, 1903
in South Portland, Maine. 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.

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.
