Many Communities Make World Prayer Day Plans This year Americans in an estimated 20,000 communities again will join with fellow Christians when in 125 coun tries prayers rise in identical or similar services, marking the 68th anniversary of the observ ance of the World Day of Prayer. Traditionally held on the first Friday of Lent, the day falls this year on February 25 and Medford Council of Church Women will hold its World Day of Prayer program at First Methodist churchy at 2 pjn. Theme for the services is "Abide in Me," John 15:4 0 Observances in the United States are sponsored by the de partment of united women, a general department of the Na tional Council of the Churches of Christ in the USA. The offer ing taken at services in this country is divided equally be tween the division ; of foreign : missions and the division of home missions of the national council and is used for interde nominational mission projects. In many of the U.S. commu- 3 nities which observe the . day, the event has grown beyond the roffiiioii rnrviDn c cprvipp in nnne together a wide variety of com munity groups. Daylight serv ices are conducted in factories; businessmen plan special office services; schools, colleges and hospitals set aside a time for group prayer during the day. In addition, many community serv ice groups, fraternal, social, and civic organizeations participate. Now an international event, the World Day of Prayer dates back to 1887 when a Presbyte rian woman in Boston called for a nationwide day of prayer for home missions. In 1920 the idea was adopted in Canada and seven years later, at the request of Christian leaders in other lands, it became a world-wide observance. The day's services begin as the "9UU VU Vliv -AWA4CK Miaiiua and continue around the globe 11 . - . . ..All until aaritness seines over Alaska 24 hours later with the final observance held on St. Lawrence island, f The - service' is written "each year by a woman or. group. of women from a different nation, then is adapted and translated into scores of tongues and into Braille.

One of her country's ecumenical leaders, Miss Lozada is the secretary of relisious edu cation oi - tne confederation of Evangelical Churches of Argen tina. .

New Nursery Rug Glows After Dark New York (U.R) New for the nursery is a rug which glows in the dark and is designed to overcome a tot's fear of having lights turned out at bedtime. Firth Carpet included a phos phorescent rug in its 1955 line. The rug, made of wool, is chemi cally treated so that the glow of its border lingers for several hours after the room has been darkened. It is "recharged" by exposure to light. The company said it worked with child' psy chologists in developing the rug. It also is" experimenting with stairway runners which will glow in the dark. : ' Film-Packaged Food Needs Refrigeration Lincoln, Neb. (U.R) Film packaging for perishable fresh vegetables and fruits preserves moisture and prevent wilting, but the food should be hurried to the home refrigerator any way. . Ethel Diedrichsen, University of Nebraska extension food and nutrition specialist, says cold also is needed "to" avoid decay or discoloration. The film-wrapped perishables may be placed on storage shelves for refrigeration. - The wrap serves as an individual hydrator. f- Chihuahua Dog Has Mink Coat Rochester, N. Y.

When am. j ii .wwayP what they mean specifi cally, the an swer is gen erally some vague state ment like, : "Well, I'd like to be more ete-aai popular man Dr. Hurlock I am," or "I wisn i couia get along better with people the way John does." When their wishes are boiled down to fundamentals, one gen erally discovers that they want to be able to get along with peo ple better but are held back by some personality trait they themselves do not know is stand ing in their way. To meet the problems of peo ple who "waiit to improve their personalities," I am offering sev eral suggestions which will work if applied conscientiously. They are: ' - 1. Be specific. If you are vague about what you want to "improve," you will get no where. You must have something definite to work on if you want to get started. And if you don't get started, you will never reach your goal. Get Family's Opinions ' 2. Find out what keeps you from getting along with people. If you cannot discover this for yourself, : turn to your family and friends f qr their opinions. They have doubtless observed things you do or say that make people dislike you or ignore you. If you are willing to listen, you will learn some things about yourself you may never have dreamed of. 3. Accept the opinions of others about yourself.. They may not be to your liking; you may argue that you are never selfish, never tactless, etc. Remember, though- others can see you as you are, while you can see yourself only as you would like to be. - 4. Set about correcting the faults you have been told you possess. And , don't be discour aged if the corrections are not made overnight. Remember that it took a long time to develop these undesirable characteris tics. It will take time to correct them and a lot of hard work on your part. LETTERS FROM READERS - Complaining: "I know some people who are constant com plainers. What possible satisfac tion can ihey get from this?" '? (A) The constant complainer gets satisfaction ; from two sources: first, sympathy from others, and the second, the feel ing that he is not responsible for things that are not to his liking. While most- people get very tired of hearing complaints, they also are - polite enough to be sympathetic. This gives, the corn plainer the attention he is look ing for: Then, in their attempts to comfort the complainer, peo ple often ! emphasize what the complainer ; is trying to ' make himself believe, that the things he doesn't like, are someone else's faults ; - ; ' V Talk About Boys: , "I realise that all young teenager girls do a lot of talking about boys. Bui, when a girl is 18 years old. wouldn't you think she was old enough to outgrow this?"" (A) A girl of 18 certainly should be past the "boy-crazy" stage, where all she can think or talk about is boys. However, many girls continue to talk about boys and their popularity with boys until they are middle-aged or even old women. They do this to impress others,' and in directly themselves, with the fact that they have great charms for members of the opppsite sex. Pampering Old People: "How far should one go in pampering an elderly person?" .V(A) I question whether old people should be "pampered," if by pampering you mean letting them, da or say as they please. It does not; add to their happi ness any more than pampering a child leads to his. However, I think you should be kindly and sympathetic in your treatment of elderly people. Don't cross them' unless necessary, and try 21 N. CENTRAL ...XV Sunday, February 13, 1953 Nutrition Specialist Soys Elderly Persons May Reduce Food Costs - Lincoln, ; Neb. (U.R) Cost of food for elderly persons may be reduced, by careful planning, a food expert says. , Miss Ethel Diedrichsen,' exten sion food and nutrition special ist at the University of Nebras ka, says the most expensive item on an elderly person's diet is meat. But she says often the leanest cuts are the least expen sive. They may be tenderized by chopping or long slow cook ing. ' Fish or poultry are good sub stitutions for the meat, and not as expensive. . Some foods cost several times as much as others of similar nu tritive value and use in the diet, she says. Carrots, some of . the leafy greens and many panned vegetables are relatively, low in price. Citrus fruit has been an eco nomical buy for Vitamin C Milk, a "very important food in the diet of older people." is an inexpensive source of calcium. "On a tight budget, evaporated milk or nonfat dry milk may be used for cooking," she says.' Older people generally need and prefer smaller quantities of food than younger people. Thus, it pays to save waste by not buying or preparing too much of any one food," she says. Mothers to Meet .

It is a tough job, too, figur ing out formulas for cake just like mother used to make but with one-tenth the calories. During the last 20 years, great strides have been made in pro cessing foods for fat people who are trvine to fiet thin, according to Milton Okin, vice-president of a dietic food concern. But the chemists still are hav ing a tough time making some concoctions taste nice tne reai thing. Today, however calorie-count ing men and women can keep their sweet tooth filled without fear of violating the doctor's or ders or the diet chart. With the use of special gluten flour, sugar substitutes and var ious other, ingredients, the ex Derts are turning out a dietetic salad dressing, jam - containing one calorie per teaspoonful, and low calories chocolates, gelatins, desserts, puddings and soft drink syrups. . ' Chemists also have whipped up in test tubes and beakers a low-calorie , waffle mix and a special maple-type syrup that can be poured on without a qualm. There are low calorie cake mixes, a special ice cream mix, no-calorie chewing . gum, NEW MODERN BEAUTY SALON COMING TO MEDFORD DO YOU HAVE A MOMENT MI-LADY?

' Ernest Fried, president of a firm specializing in canned fruits for dieters aaid salt-free,, sugar-free apricots for example, have about a third the calorie count as apricots canned in si syrup. :,r'':' His firm also distributes low calorie candy and fish products. Another company turns- out low-calorie crackers that look and taste like graham crackers, for between-the-meals snacks. A glass of water is drunk after a cracker is eaten and it swells the cracker, making the con sumer feel full when he really hasn't eaten much. " Okin said the biggest "chal lenge in the laboratory is to make the substitute foods taste good. ' ' ' - It took three scientists nearly three years to develop a salad dressing which the maker says tastes like "one of the best-selling dressings. The new concoc tion has one calorie per tea spoonful r 59 fewer calories than the regular kind. . The chemists are working now on a mayonnaise that tastes as rich as the standard one, but isn't fattening. :- "There was a time when" peo ple went hungry to diet," Okin said, "but .they don't have to now.' A person may-as well en joy dieting, if he has to do it." Baking vegetables ,' preserves practically all . the food value and flavor.
