In and around Klamath Palls there probably will be from 13 to 15 places taking out liquor uy uie drink licenses, clubs, hotels and other public establishments, and ..ill ..m w mm Ci 1 1 HfV - H next month or so. there's going to be a demsnd lor osnenaers wno can put together what the cuslo irer asks for. So Tom LaPenna is going to operate a school lor mixologists. Tom is a fellow with about 10 years' experience tending and man aging bars the real thing, not the Oregon-type service counters and beer dispensaries and he current-1 30 cocktail waitresses ry works a shift at the Ponderosa Room in the willard Hotel. Starting next Monday he will be come the faculty of a school to teach the arts and sciences of pro fessions! bartending. The school is to be located at the 9? Club, out at the Weed-Medford junction, and classes will be held nightly from ( to ( o'clock, with four-hour stints on Sundsy. Tuition for the six-week course I Is 1150 for bartenders. ITS for cock : tall waitresses. '. For 20 years this state has been ! C per a ting under a liquor system woich promotes the corisuniptton of beer, straight shots, waiskey-and-waier, whiskey-and-soda high balls and before that there were dozen years of prohibition. Conse quently, Oregon has spawned whole generation or two of per sons woo nanny know now to order anything but the most elementary of alcoholic drinks, and a class of bartenders who have sever bad to learn many of the finer points of the trade. But the people of the state last November declared themselves in schooling will be a good invest ment. LaPenna worked for a number of years in some rather hlgh-tourd nlaces around Balboa Beach, and has mixed drinks for some famoun personages, Errol Flyrtn. he re calls, goes tor something caned Salty Dog igln and grapetniu Juice, sail to tastei.

That's where LaPenna hopes his school will come in. The curriculum of the school will be 67 drinks, LaPenna says, 37 of tnem basic (Martini, Mannattan, Whiskey Sour,- Daiquiri, etc.) and the remainder those Just occasion ally called for but which the bar tender has got to know (Stinger, Ramos Fizz. Moscow Mule, etc.) Also included in that latter cate gory will be a concoction Tom de vised himself, called the Blackout (a vodka martini with black olive). Re Intends to teach the proper way to manufacture two drinks a class, and as he goes along Instill in his students a knowledge of the various ingredients of mixed drink, the properties of various types of liquor, proper handling of fruits used in drinks, the various types of glassware used, proper handling and maintenance of the backbar, how to figure bar finances, how to keep customers from getting drunk in the first place, and how to "shut off" a drunk with tact and without having to resort to physical force Above an, Lapenna says, ne will try to teach sociability, bow to meet the public. That s essential, he says, for the best interests of the bartender, and his boss. It's surprising (although bar owners mlgnt be a little re luctant to admit It) how much trade comes to the bartender and not to the bar. A smile and a friendly greeting (call the custo mer by name, if you know Iti are necessary tools of a bartender's stock in trade, and the people on the other side of the bar like it. Tom LaPenna has had consid erable experience in tending bar in states where calls for cocktails are common, and he intends to try to impart his 10 years of ex perience to his students in six weeks. He'll be assisted by Eddie Clark, who also came here recently irom uainornia, and tne alms of the school are supported by Mrs. Alma Sweetman, local secretary of the Culinary Alliance, which in cludes the union for bar workers. Mixologists get higher wages than oeer-orawers. His enrollees so for include some with previous bar experience, and some with none at all. There Is even a couple who don't touch the stuff themselves Borne nf the nrn. pectlve students expect to take on run time jobs behind the bar, and otners ngure on Just taking part mile won to supplement other in come.

That's another trick of the trade familiarise yourself with what the customer wants and how be wants it. It a fellow asks for something you've never heard of, or don t know how to mix, Tom says. It's no sin to tell him you ve never had a call for it and ask him how It goes. Don't sneak a quick look at the book. The customer would rather tell the bartender how to mix the drink than to get an experiment Once you ve made a special drink for a customer, Tom says, you'll probably never forget it. He re calls that he had to make up some thing called a Chocolate Soldier once lor a party ot lour, and tne order was repeated several Umea during tne night. Thai was six or seven years ago and he s never had anotner call for It. But he still knows how. Another part of the work of mixed drink bartender and of a cocktail waitress will be educating the public , . and here whero Hour- bon-and-Water Is about as fancy a drink as a lot of people think to order, that may take aome doing. But the bartender or waitress should be able to suggest drinks for appropriate occasions, a before-dinner drink, an after-dinner drink, and so on. What goes best when is also to be taught at LaPenna's school An essential part of the business Is bar management, setting up the back bar so that the bartender knows Just where everything Is, and so that everything that might be called for la there. Keeping the back bar supplied la the work of the bartender and his boss, and the bartender has to know every bottle in the house. That array of plain and fancy jugs on the shelves of a well stocked backbar don't get there by accident. Each one has a purpose and each one has a place, so the bartender doesn't fumble when he reaches for something unusual. In cidentally, it will cost about 14ou to stock up a backbar. For the past month or so Tom has been saving empty bottles from the bar of the Ponderosa Room, to use in his course of Instruction, and he'a going to rent the various types or glassware, shakers and utensils necessary. The bottles will be lined with colored water to sim ulate the various beverages men tioned on the labels, so for the first two-thirds or three-fourths nf tne course tne mlxlmr will he bv uunimy run. Later on the students will get to wur wun uie real tning. EXTRA Cartoons SHOW m BIG KIDDIE MATINEE TOMORROW AT BOTH .
