When your fingers contact two metal surfaces on the lamp, this causes the electronic tube to operate a relay that turns the light on or off . The "Touchtron" unit is installed either in the base or body of the lamp. The system works for both floor and table lamps. The touch control area can be located at one or more points and the lamps also contain the conven tional switch. Medford Church Women ToAidFAOon WorldDay "Hey, Mom, what's to eat," That's the afternoon theme song, accompanied by the bang of a door, announcing to many American households that school is out and the children are home. Fortunately there's the cookie jar, and the refrigerator, stocked with fruit and milk to say noth ing of the stew, casserole or roast ready for the evening meal. This is life in America or in most of it. Quite different the scenes in more than half the households of the world where the cries of hun ger of children haunt the hearts of mothers and fathers. With the belief that freedom and prosperity can be assured any nation only as it is assured all, United Church Women have set Friday, Nov. 4, as World Community Day and for . its theme have chosen the petition that is on the hearts of the multi tude, "Give us this day our daily bread." Medford Council of Church Women has set the local observance of World Commun ity day for Friday," Nov. 4, at St. Mark's Episcopal church. "The church for many years has been trying to help answer that prayer as it sent out its mis sions to take not only spiritual food, but the help and "know how" to produce more and great er variety of physical food," a council release states. "T h e church has long had its own Poiwt IV type of program to re lieve human need. But that need was so great that the program never reached far enough. Nor, when our government joined to help, was it possible to meet' all the overwhelming problems of want in the world. The only so lution seemed for nations to act together. Thus, in 1943, 44 na tions agreed to work unitedly for freedom from want and the Food and Agriculture Organiza tion was born. "Because United Church Wom en have such faith in the high purposes of FAO, they have spotlighted it for' study on this 1955 nationwide observance of World Community day, hoping to draw to it a greater under standing and support by our American people. And through it as through the study of the World Health Organization last year, and UNICEF and other U. N. agencies at other times, they hope to broaden the knowledge of the scope of the work of the United Nations as it reaches out to aid mankind.

PHONE 2-6189 Dior Works Hard oh Designs; Woman Makes $25,000 Card earth are dedicating themselves to the cause of more food for more people. Meet James Smyth, a Scotsman, standing by a fish pond in Liberia. James Smyth, gaunt, tanned figure, is a fresh water biologist. He's spent years in the tropics, many of them in Indonesia working on increasing the protein diet of people by raising more fresh water 'fish. "Now he has been digging ponds all over the interior of Liberia, getting not only U. N. and Liberian government's help, but that of mission stations and of industry (Firestone- Rubber Plantations). They're all in on the experiment, with ponds on their various locations, and they not only have more fish, but more cooperation and under standing among people. "The same goes for the work in animal husbandry, typified by a lithe Liberian lassie in blue jeans who is a part of the staff working for better chickens, pigs, goats and cattle. She and others on the staff" had training at Tus kegee Institute and are back at work with their government and the FAO specialists. "Agriculturists are also a part of the game in Liberia. They are getting rice to grow on dry land, and on the experimental stations there is a luxurious growth of bananas, cocoa, coffee, citrus fruits, peanuts, cassava, beans, oil palms. Our people will raise these kinds of crops as fast as we can get the knowledege out to them," said the proud African in charge of the farms. "Hun ger can end. We know that now." Liberian school children, like American one, will have enough to eat. "So will children in Asia, where growing more rice is a matter of life and death for mil lions. FAO and Rice Research are increasing production so that there is hope that Asia may turn from a food-deficit to a food surplus area. "Thus goes the story of FAO over the earth. The Afghanistan people have learned to use hoes rather than mattocks, scythes for sickles, to plant carefully so they can till the growing crop. Production has more than dou bled! FAO has helped overcome rinderpest disease which killed animals in many parts of the earth. They helped combat lo--custs which, through the cen turies, have defeated man's labor for food. They turned catastrophe into a springboard for human achievement. "In this dedication of the ener gies and imagination of peaceful nations United Church Women find a great ally for peace peace peace fortifying the spir it of man with a new realization of brotherhood; peace fortified by friendship and by wheat and cotton, by sympathetic under standing and by milk and meat. Peace that gives children the world around the vigor and hope and horizon of faith."

Christmas cards - get more handsome every year. They al ready, have become a standard part of the holiday household decoration, lined up on the man tel or pinned to satin streamers. But who ' ever would have thought it'd be carried this far a Christmas card worth $25,000! ' Alice Daly is the woman re sponsible for the card. A Texan she declines to identify is the only man who has shown an in terest in sending it as' a holiday greeting. She has added real precious stones to the photographed tree on the card, clipping diamonds, pearls, one ruby, sapphire and emerald firmly to the paper card. Two' diamond bracelets and two diamond clips make a bor der for the modest little holiday greeting. It fits into a plain white envelope. Sequins and sweaters put them both together and they spell business for Mrs.' Maria Kestler. ' When sweaters stopped being sporty, Mrs. Kestler, known as Marika professionally, started finding the answer to her desire "to design something." She took a cashmere cardigan, a big pair of scissors and some sequins and went to work. She cut the sweater shorter, bound it in satin ribbon and covered the, shoulders with irridescent sequins. "That was five years ago, and it then was a- luxury for high society," Mrs. Kestler said. "Now working girls invest in such a sweater as an .evening wrap. It is public property."

Heat 23 cup of cider vinegar, 1 cup sugar, dash of salt 6 cloves and 3 inches of stick cin namon. Allow mixture to boil for about ten minutes. Add 10 slices of drained pineapple, cut in halves, and heat ust to boil ing. Allow to cool before storing in covered jar in refrigerator. Es pecially good with broiled lamb chops, ham or pork chops.
