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

was prepared by Miss Joregehna

ecumenical leaders, Miss Lozada
is the secretary of relisious edu

Women leaders in each see

different ways to bring the day
to the attention of their com
munities. Last year in Rich
mond, Va., stores and places' of
business throughout the city co
operated in holding services be
fore or during regular business
hours. In Huntington, West Va.,
all traffic lights in the city
blinked on caution at noon to
halt motorists for a minute of
prayer. Last year President Ei

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.

As We Live
By ELIZABETH "HURLOCK," fH.D.-Personality-
Improvement
Takes Time And Trouble ':.."..v
There are few people who do
not say that they "want to im
nrove" their nersonalities. 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

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.

Chemistry Lab Source of
Food for Calorie Counters
By CLAIRE COX
United Press Correspondent
New York' (U.R) A hand-
;ful of scientists in a chemistry
laboratory' are busy these days
whipping up cooKies, canaies
and ice cream for people who
want to lose weight.
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,

tions . z . '
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
