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

Mrs. Maurice Ritchey is day
camp chairman. The day camp
directors are, Medford, Mrs.
Lynn Hayes; Grants Pass, Mrs.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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,

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.

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

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.
