Lamps On and Off
With Mere Touch
New York You'll soon be
able to turn lamps on and off
merely by touching them, thanks
to a new electronic device.
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.
"Let's see FAO as it operates
in one spot in Africa, so typical
of the way hundreds of men and

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."
