Deep Roots Gift to Aid , Cancer Cases CLEVELAND VP) A spin ster's $10,000 estate, carried by working at three jobs a day, will be spent to help women she never knew who suffered from cancer. The will of Miss Engeline Krist, 56, was on file in probate court Friday. It provided that the Cleveland Clinic Foundation use her savings of more than $10,000 to provide a bed and nursing and medical care for "spinsters yet un known suffering from a cancerous disease and unable to pay for treatment. Miss Krist wrote the will two days before she died Sept. 30. She aiea of cancer of the breast, dis covered about a year ago, too late for an operation. At Cleveland Clinic she agreed to undergo ex perimental treatment, her doctor said, and in return got medicine ana care free. She came here as a child from Albania, and her chief concern In life, those who knew her said, appeared to be for future security. 10 achieve that security she worked at three jobs: by day as a waitress, in early evening as a Daoy-sitter or at other house' work, and from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. as an .Inspector for the Industrial Rayon Corp.

Poison Oak Leaves Found Good Horse Fodder BERKELEY, Cal. U.R Horses eat poison oak leaves with relish, according to Arthur W. Sampson. professor of forestry at the Uni versity of California college of agriculture. Poison oak is as nourishing for livestock as most shrubs and more so than grasses, but most animals eat very little of.it, Sampson says. It is more nourishing early in the season but maintains a high level of protein content during later scages. Horses eat poison oak without damage to their di gestive tracts, and not even the slightest blister appears on the outside of their faces, Sampson said. ft i!

Today a truck loaded with scrap steel overturned in front of Gaudio s place, and 15 tons of scrap crashed down. But the im provised fence rails held. "They're all that kept my place from being swept down the bank," said Gaudio happily. Watching Own 'Rescue'. Considered Unfair TWO RIVERS, Wis. 0J.ID Coast Guardsmen who dragged a stream here were not amused when they discovered the "victim" watching the rescue work. They called police, who arrested Donald Berger, 26, on a drunk and disorderly charge. Police said Berger had an argument with a woman, who called for help. Ber ger jumped into the river, swam downstream, went home to change his clothes, and returned to watch the rescue operations. He claimed there was no law against his swimming. But author ities disagreed. Atomic Engines For Subs Seen WASHINGTON U.R Ad. Louis E. Denfeld, chief of naval operations, disclosed Thursday that the Atomic Energy Commis sion has been asked to speed ef forts toward ' developing atomic engines for submarines. Denfield said in an interview that the study of atomic propul sion for any use is still in the very early stages and that it prooaoiy will require "several years" to get practical results. But. he added, "we are pushing for the development of atomic energy engines tor ships, especial ly submarines." Chief Weapons In event of war, he explained, submarines along with aircraft carriers will be the Navy's chief weapons. The admiral said the Navy Is experimenting with several new types of underwater craft. -The emphasis is on higher speed and cheaper and wider range. When the atomic propulsion dream comes true, he said, "we will have the submarines ready to use it on." 'Very Easy' Asked about reports that Russia Is arming submarines with rockets for land bombardment, Denteld said only that "it would be very easy to put rockets on subma rines." If war should come, he said, the United States should have radar screen of submarines as well as a radar screen made up of land sta tions. High Cost He said the cost of a system of radar stations would be "very high" but that both would be necessary because the land sta tions would have much farther range than subs. Radar picket subs at sea could pick up planes headed for the U.S., he said and the land stations could pick up the planes as they neared this continent. The Navy is now experimenting with two radar picket subs con verted from regular fleet-type subs. : Tiny Babies Like Glasses! LOS ANGELES OHS Six-month-old babies like to wear glasses, the American College of Surgeons learned Thursday. Dr. Colby Hall of the University of Southern California described an operation to remove cataracts from infants' eyes, after which the baby is fitted with glasses. "You might suppose that a baby would object to wearing glasses," he said "It is amazing, however, that babies, all of whom are anxious to see as much of the world as possible, soon understand what they do and even object if they are taken off." Register-Guard", Eugene, Ore., Thura,, Oct. M. TM8 , Page 11 Group Working to Help Save Housewife Unnecessary Effort NEW YORK UP) Take I look at your elbows, madams, If kit chen chores are back-breaking drudgery. Efficiency engineers, watching women baking pies, peeling pota toes and washing dishes, have found that the comfortable, rest full height of your "working sur faces" parallels your elbows. So, if your kitchen counter Is waist high, stop worrying about that pain in your back. Start re arranging your kitchen. It's not as hard or expensive as it might seem. Easier Work The New York Heart Assn., in terested in saving the energy of thousands of homemakers who must take things easy, has devel oped a "work simplification" kitchen; Primarily designed for women with impaired hearts, most of the ideas can be happily adop ted by the hale and hearty. The heart kitchen has two work counters: one for such activities as baking which use long handled implements; the other for food preparation using short utensils. The baking counter is 32 Inches high so don't have to reach up to wield an egg beater. The other other is set 36 inches above the floor, so you can scrape carrots with arms comfortably placed, el bow height, in front of you. Of course, if you are an out-size, it's always possible to work sitting down from a chair which places you at the proper working height. No' Waste Motion Much thought and effort has gone into the actual planning and arrangement of the kitchen. The committee, headed by Dr. Lillian Gllbreth, efficiency engineer, con centrated on putting every item in spot where it could be reached without wasted steps. Fresh vegetables, sauce pans, knives and such items are stored near the sink, because you usually use them with water and lt saves a special trip to the faucet. Roasting pans, skillets, canned vegetables (and the can opener) are within arm's reach ol tne stove point of original use. Within Reach It takes extra energy to bend and stretch, so the experts have used higher shelves and low drawers to stow utensils and food) which are used infrequently, shal low shelves, they found, are work savers, too. You don't have to re move a stack of saucers to reach the frying pan back of it. By rearranging one woman's kitchen In an experiment, Dr. Gil breth and her associates were able to cut down to one-sixth the num ber of steps a woman took to make a coffee cake She had been wasting five out of every six steps by poor planning. The Heart Association's work simplification program isn't con fined to the kitchen. Its experts recommend long-handled dust pans and brushes, as well as mops and carpet sweepers, to save backs. They suggest using dust mitts Instead of cloths, so both hands can be used at the job, They sing of ironing joys, when the board is low and the ironer is seated comfortably at a chair. They advocate lightweight metals in all utensils used, Largest Group "Including the women with car diac diseases, there are between four and five million disabled housewives throughout the coun try who have reason to conserve their energy output," said Dr. Gllbreth. "These women unques tionably constitute the largest group of employed disabled in the United States. "But every homemaker who is interested in eliminating or mini mizing the work often associated with kitchen chores should be interested in the things that make life easier for the disabled."

Girls taking part in a broadcast over the university's radio station (WVBR), suggested a stroll periods of intelligent conversa tion, card playing, hiking, and "any number of things except beering." They called for "dating on e less strenuous financial scale." One male student observed "the girls you spend money on are the only ones you get the second date with." The other commented to his ra dio audience that "while the girls may be sick of beering parties, none of ' my dates have ever shown any aversion to 'cham pagne brawls'." -. ; .
