America Melting Pot For Food Knowledge By GAY PAULEY . UPI Women’s Editor NEW YORK (UPI)— A famous restaurant owner calls America the “meltihg pot” for cooking know-how. As a result, U.S. kitchens can give the world the greatest cuisine it has ever known, if wives just get a little word of appreciation from husbands. George M. Mardikian, 55, speaking. Mardikian is the Armenian-born proprietor of the Omar Khayyam restaurant in San Francisco. He came to this country 37 years ag<x_ penniless but certain "that all you had to do in California was pick gold nuggets off the streets.” His career began as a dishwasher in a restaurant at sl2 a week. Today, he is the successful operator of a restaurant featuring dishes from his homeland, author, rancher, industrialist, philanthropist and patriot—"everyone of us should get down on our hands and knees every day and thank God we are Americans.” In World War 11, the government asked him to help improve the Army’s food service at home and abroad. He won two presidential citations for his work. "It may be true, as some critics have, charged, that restaurants are creating a nation of short order chefs,” said Mardikian. "But the future of cooking lies in our kitchens. If american men will just take the time to tell their wives how good everything was, after each meal. ' f “Any chef you know : s vain.. . I ought to know. I am one.” "Cooking is not to be treated as a chore. It is a creative art. But unlike the artist who makes a painting and often has to wait years for recognition, the cook's art is immediately recognized. If the family showed appreciation, there wpuld be fewer of those frozen TV dinners served. “The same thing which has made this a great nation will make its cooking great. We are the melting pot for food knowledge. We can take the best of the dishes from so many lands.” Also in our favor, he continued, are the bountiful supply of almost every food you can mention and the speed with which it reaches the home from garden,_orchard, the stockyard or waters. ... An estimated total of . four billion 800 million dollars was paid out to Americans in healtl&jnsurance benefits during 1958, according to the Health Insurance Institute.

HITTING A RELIGIOUS BEAT—The Rev. Anthony P. Treasure stands in pulpit in St. Paul's Episcopal church, Norwalk, Conn., as an “unorthodox” jazz combo gets a tryout at services: Paul Rotante, sax; wayne Gutierrez, drums; Jack Bennett, bass and leader; Russ Martino, piano. It was a jazz mass, and the 12-man vestry appeared sharply divided on the merits of the music and the propriety of mixing the Bible and the blues. But it got an S.R.O. crowd into church.

Gives Statistics On Dirt In Households

By GAY PAULEY UPI Women’s Editor to keep down spring cleaning is to eliminate husbands, children and pets. Together, they manage to account for 35 per cent of the mess the average homemaker cleans up each day, says the head of the nation’s largest home-care organization. Kenneth N. Hansen of Service Master says that on the basis of clean-up statistics in the average household, here is where all that dirt comes from: Atmospheric soilers (smokestacks, auto exhausts, etc.), 40 per cent. Husbands (with such habits as eating sandwiches in the living room and scattering cigaret butts beyond the ash trays), 18 per cent. Children, 12 per cent; the foot parade of the family, 10; bad weather, 8; entertaining, 7; and pets, 5. Just to discourage further all us neat-as-pin types, Hansen said that the dirt-fall is on the increase, varying from two to 25 pounds per room per year—depending on the city. „ It is only natural that a “pro” like Hansen would be critical of the cleaning job we amateurs do. He listed 11 “most common oversights” by the amateur cleaner. We fail to: Wipe off lamp cords; polish the glass on pictures: to wash lighting fixtures and change light bulbs; dust bed rails that are usually covered up;
