FOUB MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE Tuesday, Aug 7, 194S NEW MACHINE IB HOUSEHOLD TASKS Devise Will Wash Clothes, Peel Potatoes, Make Ice Cream and Wash Dishes. By Jane Farrant United Preu Staif Correspondent Chicago, Aug. 7 U.R Reali zation of a housewive's dream a combination clothes washer, potato peeler and dish washer with the addition of a butter churn and ice cream freezer only a step away was near today. Unlike man's post war dreams, this one will coma true by the first of 1948, unless an unexpect ed material shortage developes. Edward N. Hurley, president of the Hurley Machine Division nf Electric Household utilities, Chlca.no, is the man responsible for the domestic miracle. Th Thor Automatic Washer, the "dream" will be called.

Washing Attachment Then, on wash day, the house wife need only install the clothes washing attachment, light enough to be lifted and attached in less than a minute, Hurley said. One model will be equipped with an automatic dial. The housewife sets the dial and then does her housework while the new appliance washes, rinses and dries the clothes. Hurley said the machine uses the spinner, agitator principle He said this is more efficient than the whirl method of pre war wrinaerless washers. As a dish washer, the Thor needs only a new attachment a metal plate for pots and pans and a wire basket- with space for a complete dinner service for six. Hot water rushes over the dishes at a 33-mile-per-hour rate. A continual stream of water is necessary, Hurley said, as the washer holds only two quarts of water, used over and over again. Food Scraps Ground Hurley explained that the once inescaname neaaacne oi food scraps clogging a dish washer drain has been solved by using ingenious metal fingers, which grind large particles of food to powder. As a result, only bones ana potato peelings need be scraped from plates Before iney are placed In the washer. The machine both washes and dries dishes, operating on the nmp sninner principle as the clothes washer. The third miracle, a potato peeler, is another attachment a small tub coated with abrasive. The potatoes are spun rapidly, so that the abrasive literally skins the vegetable.

Paddle Beats Cream A paddle in the butter churn will beat the cream, using the agitator motion. A tub with an outer comparf ment for ice and salt will freeze ice cream, whipping up the cream continually as it is frozen. It Is Hurley's idea that the best ice cream is frozen while in motion. As a kitchen unit, the auto- magic weighs 200 pounds and stands three feet high and two feet square. It is portable and easily moved about. Hurley has been working on this housewives' dream since 1940. He said the cost of the device, with both clothes and dish washing attachments, will be less than the price of stand ard prewar washing machines. BIRTHS WATERS To Mr. and Mrs. W. M.( 812 Sherman street, Aug ust 5, 1949, a girl, seven pounds, at Osteopathic Clinic. Siskiyou Soldier Says British Wife Soon Deserted Him Yreka, Cal., Aug. 7 (U.R) Married in England and assert edly deserted by his British wife before he left there, Homer E. Gordon, of Mount Shasta, is tak ing his troubles to California courts for solution. Local court officials are won dering if this complicated case of the Siskiyou county soldier is the first of its kind in World War II. The divorce complaint, filed by Gordon against Joan Gordon, states that while stationed in England with the army, he mar ried the British girl at Surrey, April 29, 1944. Less than four months later, Gordon charged, his wife desert ed him "without explanation or cause." Gordon filed his action while home for redeployment to the Pacific. The couple have no chil dren or community property. Use Mall Tribune Want Ads. Years ago, when marriage was a hope rather than a reality, like all girls I had my dreams of what married life would be like. A favorite vision was of a still nebulous lord fondly kissing the little woman good-bye each morning before he left for work. At that stage of my emotional development, the tragic leave taking had a higher rating than the joyful evening reunion. There was something so sweetly sad in the thought that each day we would be torn apart. The historonic possibilities of such a situation, I saw, were limitless I pictured these touching scenes very clearly' After having struck a tragic pose of renunciation, I would watch, through tear dimmed eyes, my love depart to do battle with the world. Thus, he would remember me through the long hours of our separation. Also, by that time, competi tion for his affection would be over and done for. The wed ding march would write Finis to that! There would be only me. At this point in my dreaming, I am quite sure I smirked. Well, my dream came true to the extent that I did marry and each morning my lord leaves for work; and leaves in a welter of emotion. But it is the farm ani mals, not the little woman, which do the emoting. Even if I had time to dramatize our separa tion, I have nothing to match the frenzied heart-break of Susan, the golden spaniel. Tied in the woodshed until her idol has thoroughly left, she aban dons herself to grief. Susan is not one of your silent sufferers. She feels like howling and so. 7wlth a revolting' lack of re straint, she howls. Then the cow, seeing the man go up the hill, moos in a minor key and follows nis every step with woeful eyes- His absence will desolate her- Even her tail expresses sadness. And a cow with a sad tail is a cow with a heartache. Then Jerry, the horse, yearns across the fence; and his whickerings are tremul- j ous with feeling. In fact when j the man takes off the air all over I Hillside is fairly gummed up with sighings, laments and men-; tal suffering. j And so it is the little dog, the horse and the cow which re ceive the master's lingering looks of regret over the separa-j tion. This isn't the way I had j planned it in the long ago, but that is how it is. Oh, well, what wife has time to moon over a man who will be gone only 10 : hours or so. Besides, seems like I a body gets little done, with a man always under foot.
