EUGENE REGISTER-GUARD, Friday, Dec. 21, 1961 Page 11A '""" " , 'Dear Abby Abigail Van Bur en , . DEAR ABBY: I admit I don't keep a very clean house but Its not my fault. My mother hated housework and she never ..bothered much with housekeeping. She taught me to put the : housework last and said, "If you don't clean your house, your husband will." Maybe this is a poor excuse, but it's the truth .and I just had to get it off my chest. I POOR HOUSEKEEPER DEAR POOR HOUSEKEEPER: Your mother's advice r sounds like a feeble excuse for poor housemanship. To com plete the picture she should have added, "There are many .husbands who are mopping the floor with their wives every Uy." Get organised, Honey! r, J DEAR ABBY: Please print this for some girls who need it. lit expresses my feelings and the feelings of many of my friends. If a girl doesn't wear lipstick even if she isn't so hot I would sooner kiss her than the girl with lipstick, be- cause guys who come home with lipstick on their shirts al "most get killed by their mothers. I thank you. FIFTEEN AND ALMOST KILLED ONCE 1 ... t DEAR ABBY: You may consider this a silly question, but please, darling, try to help me. I have just lost my fifth gar bage canl The last one I painted with black enamel, "PLEASE ..DO NOT STEAL THIS CAN." And I put my address on it. 'My neighbor said she saw a man stop and get out of a Cadillac car and HE took it. Can you imagine anything so cheap and flirty? So this morning I put my garbage in a Maison Blanc , bag, and the garbage collector refused to take it. Is this the .way they take care at beautiful St. Charles Avenue? The 'authorities pay me no attention. Can you give me a solution? 1 ' MRS. MARIE DE M. J New Orleans, La. I DEAR MARIE: Telephone your Department of Public Health and ask them to put you in touch with the Sanitation : Department. Then tell them your story! If you get no results, .take it right up to the mayor. (The problem not the gar bage.) , x ... DEAR ABBY: My 22-year-old son came home heart-broken .last night. He has been working and saving his money for a :year to marry what we thought was a fine girl. He surprised ; her with a diamond ring and she refused it, saying she would rather wait until he could afford a BIGGER one. She said she would rather have no diamond than a small one. Is this modern J thinking? HEARTSICK MOTHER DEAR MOTHER: No. There have always been girls who -place great deal of importance on the size of a diamond. Tell your ton to save the little gem for a girl who appreciates ?lt And him. j a J What's on your mind? For a personal reply, send a self r addressed, stamped envelope to Abby, Box 3365, Beverly Hills, Calif. . Sugar Plum Cupcakes Renamed for Yule Seals This year's gay and colorful Christmas Seals have inspired Mrs. Mark 0,- Hatfield, "Ore fan's First Lady of Christmas Seals," to bring forth her prized recipe for sugar plum cupcakes and re-name it the "Christmas Seal Sugar Plum Cupcake." Why? Because Mrs. Hatfield a'ayi the delighted children on this year's Christmas Seal, hang ing the double-barred cross on their tree as part of the prep aration for Christmas, recalled to her mind the age-old account of The Night Before Christmas when "visions of sugar plums danced through their heads." Mrs. Hatfield adds: ' "At thisf festive and magical time, I think Steve Dohanos, the artist who designed this year's Christmas Seal, has the answer in his own words, , 'the 1062 Christmas Seals say to every- . one put Christmas Seals into Christmas so why not in the kitchen where children can help make the cupcakes and thus learn about Christmas Seals.' Here is the recipe: Christmas Seal Sugarplum Cupcakes ' (From the Recipe Files of Mrs. Mark O. Hatfield) ' . 1 pound seedless raisins 2 pounds gumdrops (cut up .. . . no black ones) . v 1 cup pecans or walnuts -J fried in butter 4 cups flour 1 teaspoon cinnamon Va teaspoon cloves Vi teaspoon nutmeg Y teaspoon salt 1 cup butter or margarine 2 cups sugar 2 eggs lVa cups sieved unsweetened , applesauce 1 teaspoon soda dissolved in 1 tablespoon hot water . 1 teaspoon vanilla Cream butter and sugar.

" Hymn, Carol Origin Traced NEW YORK 0IPD St. Francis of Assist often was called "Father of the Christmas Carol" because, about the 12th century in Italy, he used the stable scene, plus a small choir, to dramatize the story of the birth of Christ. - - The occasion also was the origin of the Creche. Down through the years, carols by the carload have been turned out by the pens of tal ented and inspired writers. One noted song writer, Charles Wes ley, composed 6,500 hymns and carols during the mld-18th cen tury, according to researchers planning an album of Christ mas records. Wesley's most popular carol then and now is "Hark, '.The Herald Angels Sing." Another prolific song writer was Isaac Watts, who wrote "Joy To The World" in 1719 and, at his death in 1748, left 52 published volumes of hymns and carols.
