4 EIGHT MEDFORD (OREGON) Day Camp Dates Are Announced Pre-registration for all Girl Scout day campi of Rogue Val ley area will be conducted in Jackson and Josephine county schools May 22 and 23. No addi tional registrations will be taken the first day of day camp unless enoueh adult workers have vol unteered so that there will be one adult on the staffs for every eight girls. Girl Scout officials have announced. This is a na tional Girl Scout standard and also a standard of American Camping association. Girls should take registration cards and fee at the time of pre- registrations. The day camp fee Is $1.50 and covers cost of mux, program supplies and camper's insurance, headquarters states. The fee is not refundable. Help Needed Adult help 's needed and moth ers are asked to note on the reg istration cards whether they may be interested in assisting on staffs to assure their daughter's good camping experience. All camps will operate from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m., excepting Medford which is on a 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. schedule. Medford's day camp is held at the Bear creek site behind the county shops.

Camp Explained For mothers of girls who have not 'attended day camp before, it is explained that day camping is camping by the day. In a day camp, girls from several troops meet together in small unit groups with trained adult vol unteer staff to spend part of the day in the out-of-doors. The campers arrive at the camp site at the scheduled time and spend their time enjoying outdoor cooking, hiking, resting under the trees, getting acquainted with birds and insects. In short, the girls enjoy all the activities that are found in other types of camps, except that the campers do not sleep at the campsite. Day camping has been a part of Girl scout camping since 1921. It brings the fun of outdoor liv ing in groups to the doorstep of the girls living in towns, and often is the first camping ex perience of the Brownie age girl. "Outdoor fun, a new opportuni ty for group participation, the learning of camping ways, the development of resourcefulness and growth in appreciation of the out-of-doors, all of these are day campin g," headquarters States. Mrs. Maurice Ritchey is day camp chairman. The day camp directors are, Medford, Mrs. Lynn Hayes; Grants Pass, Mrs. William Baker and Brownie camp, Mrs. Charles Kudlac. For Rogue River is Mrs. R. W. Har gitt; Ashland, Mrs. Monte Polk; Talent, Mrs. W. R. Bagley, and Illinois Valley, Mrs. W. E. Col pits. 4 Science Tailoring Potatoes to Taste Osage, Iowa U.R) An Iowa State College nutritionist says that now potatoes can be tailored to the taste. Leslie Smith said that by add ing a pre-cooking step to the making of potato flakes, the tex ture can be regulated between mealy, creamy or smooth. By merely varying the cooking times and temperatures, the dif ferent textures can be obtained, he said. Smith said the development of the pre-cooking process makes it possible to use ' low-solid pota toes which previously had too much water in them to make flaking practical. However; Smith added, it will be some time before these new potato products are at the corner grocery store. He said that they have not gone into commercial production yet. . 4 20-SPEED MIXER Chicago U.R) An electric corporation has introduced a new food mixed with 20 speeds and no stalling. WI B. Massen- burg of the company's appliance division, said the new mixer will whip eggs or stir heavy cookie batter, without stalling. He said the beaters can be re moved from the mixer with the touch of a button. 4 Pancakes With Sour Cream New York (U.R) New break fast ideas sometimes are hard to come by, but here is a taste tempter using an old-favorite, pancakes. To save time, use your favorite pancake mix and when the cakes come from the griddle spread them with jam and a sprinkle of confectioner's sugar. Roll them and place a dab of dairy sour cream on top. Serve immediately. To remove rain spots on suede shoes rub lightly with an emery board such as the one used in manicuring. 1 MAIL TRIBUNE Tips on Rock Garden Given; Many Plants Said Suitable By Edna King Manderill Originally, rock gardens were created so that the delicate, oh-so-lovely alpine flowers could be grown at home. But now, most gardeners plant any var iety that looks and grows well among rocks, even though real alpine purists seem to think that such a garden is in the same category as an air-conditioned log cabin. The best rock garden varieties require little moisture, and rock gardens should be pretty well drained. If built up from level ground, artificial drainage must be provided. For proper drainage, excavate about two feet below ground level and fill with one foot of gravel or clinkers. Then fill to ground level with one foot of good soil containing 25 leaf mold. Pack down this top soil thoroughly before placing the rocks, so that no air pockets remain. Some of the very best rocks to use are those gray, deep pocketed chunks known in my part of New York state as Lock- port dolomite. They are rocks that originally contained min erals which washed out over the years, leaving holes or pockets, If these are not available, use weather worn, porous, fairly flat rocks that will hold soil. Try to find rocks that are all the same general texture. You are not aiming for variety here, but for natural appearance. Let the flowers provide the contrast and excitement. Be sure to use rocks of varying sizes, or your rock garden may look like a rock pile. Placing Imporlant Place each rock so that the one below extends beyond it a little. Then a plant growing be tween the two will have both light and space. If rocks are placed against a bank, incline each one toward the bank, so that water will run back into the soil. Soil areas be tween the rocks, in which plants will take root, should be open at the back (no other rocks, just soil) to provide room for root development. Let portions of the rocks be underground. This gives the de sirable appearance of reality. Place the rocks on their natural bases. Most rocks do not lie Thumb-Sucking Said Fault of Parents Detroit U.R Dr. Hans Freu denthal says parents often are to blame when children suck their thumbs. Dr. Fruendenthal said thumb sucking is likely to begin be cause bottle-fed babies don't get enough mouth exercise. But he cautioned, "if the habit continues after the fourth yetr. it means either that the child feels rejected and needs more attention and affection; or that the child is maladjusted or men tally retarded." Pediatricans could prevent a great deal of thumb sucking by making certain that nipples on nursing bottles have small holes so that the baby has to work harder for his or her food, Freu- denthal said. 4 MORE FROZEN SEAFOODS New York (U.R) Two new frozen sea foods now are avail able nationally. They are scal lops and fish bites, which are a combination of potato, cod, had dock or ocean perch, and season ings. Both foods need only a few minutes heating in a hot oven before serving. To clean door knobs without injuring the wood finish behind them, cut cardboard shields to fit around the door knob and key plate. s NOTHING HERE FOR SURE NOTHING here mfi Lunlf-'Vi s.&Lk .... .

WITH BATTERY SONOTONEU Traditional 18 Years with Sonotone Sunday, May 20, 1956 point down on the ground, but flat side down. What flowers to plant? That is a whole subject in itself. As a rule of thumb, if you do not care to specialize in true moun tain or alpine plants, low grow ing varieties not over 12 or 15 inches high, are preferable. Those that spread out or climb among the rocks are also very attractive. Either annuals or perennials may be used success fully. Let me recommend the fol lowing: Ageratum, blue cap; alyssum, gold dust, snow cloth or royal carpet; arabis (rock cress); candytuft; daisy, English; Dianthus gaiety; forget-me-not; lobelia, crystal palace; marigold, spry or yellow pygmy; nemesia; petunia, dwarf; phlox, drum mondi dwarf; pinks, clove or maiden; portulaca; purple robe; snapdragon, magic carpet; sweet william, dwarf; verbena; viola; wallflower, Siberian; zinnia, creeping. A simple solution for what to plant in your garden is offered by a nationally known seeds man who triple-tests all his varie ties. This is a special rock gar den packet containing an excel lent selection of both annuals and perennials. If rock garden ing is new to you, such selections provide an easy way to start the first season. Later, when you see how different varieties look in your garden, you can begin to exercise your own individuality, 4 Research Shows Importance of Proteins in Diet As a guide in planning bal anced meals, recent findings in nutrition research have been announced by the Nutrition Foundation. Research, supported in part by the Nutrition Foundation continues to spotlight proteins needed to form new cells and rebuild body tissues. Recent findings help to understand more clearly how proteins act as regulators in maintaining body tissues in the best state of health. For example, University of Wisconsin scientists found qual ity of protein, rather than mere quantity, to be a decisive factor in maintaining the liver in healthy state. Amino acids, the units that link together to form proteins and are set free again when foods are digested, are studied in detail. When amino acids were not balanced as they occur in the good quality pro teins of milk and milk products meats, fish and eggs, the amount of fat deposited in the liver in creased considerably, endanger ing health. It was discovered, too, that proper balance of amino acids was needed for the normal devel opment and activity of enzymes that act as regulators in all parts of the body. And that balancing amino acids improves the way the body makes use of all food eaten. As a practical way of supply ing an efiicient, healthful bat ance of amino acids, nutrition ists recommend that some ani mal proteins be included in each meal. This can be done by serv ing cereals with milk, for example, or a sandwich made of whole grain or enriched bread with a meat or cheese filling, Besides good proteins and cer eal foods at each meal, include generous servings of "fruits and vegetables together with spreads and desserts to supply additional energy, minerals and vitamins. In this way wise homemakers assure their families of well bal anced meals that provide enjoy ment and help to keep a sense of humor. (BOOS I C. R. ADAMSON DISTRICT MANAGER 839 East Jackson Phone 2-5904 Number of Wives Working Off Farm Said on Increase More and more farm wives are beginning to bring home the bacon. The picture of the bust ling farm wife, busy with her chores, has been changing. She still has her chores, but more than one-fifth of farm wives also have jobs away from the farm, reports the Institute of Life Insurance on the basis of a recent survey by the Bureau of the Census. The survey, which covered farm families in 24 states, show ed that 22 per cent of all farm wives were in the "labor force"; that is, had jobs off-the-farm, or were actively seeking jobs. Five years ago, only 17 per cent of farm wives were doing out side work. Although the study does not indicate why there has been an increase in the proportion of farm wives with jobs, it seems reasonable to assume that many of the women are working sim ply to increase family income. In those families where income has gone down, the wife may have gone to work in order to restore it, and thus help main tain the family's standard of living. Income Needed The prospect of cash income coming in regularly can mean a great deal to farm families, who often find it awkward to plan their finances on the sea sonal income basis that is typ ical of farming. , Many wives, whether they live on a farm or in the city, take jobs in order to achieve some special goal. For a farm ONE by ONE P!'"l. UH - a JFK, KNOW YOUR CONTRIBUTED AS A PUBLIC SCKVICt BY American Teen-Agers Need Better Diets Chicago (U.R) Teen-agers need from one-third to one-half more protein, minerals and vita mins than their parents, one nu tritionist says. But Rita Campbell, Chicago director of the National Live Stock and Meat Board's nutrition department, said both teen-agers and parents should form better eating habits beginning with the first meal of the day. Surveys indicate that most Americans either ignore break fast or make a skimpy meal of it, Miss Campbell said. If this is done in the interests of reduc ing, she said, the dieters are de feating their own purpose. A balanced breakfast, includ ing high-protein foods, is not likely to add unwanted pounds, she said. "And the weight reducer who eats a adequate breakfast is much less likely to be tempted by starchy, fattening foods at lunch or supper," she said. family this may be helping to pay for some special piece of equipment, to improve the farm home, or to reduce the farm debt. Wives often work to pay for a child's education at college. Surprisingly enough, the pro portion of farmers working off their own farms has also been rising. The survey figures show that 24 per cent of farm opera tors are working 100 days or more away from their home farms, compared with the 20 per cent of farmers who worked off the farm five years earlier. 4 Snack treat: roll small, new potatoes which have been boiled and buttered in freshly chopped chives.
