'Dr. Kale' Mourned In Wisconsin Town Woodruff, Wis. U.R) The little town of Woodruff today mourned its beloved "Dr. Kate," the "Angel on snowshqes" who built a hospital with pennies. Dr. Kate Newcomb died Wednesday in nearby Wausau when her 70-year-old heart "simply played out" after she underwent surgery for a hip fracture. Her body was to be brought to Minccqua, 20 miles from Woodruff, today. Friday her sor rowing townspeople will bury her. Appropriately, their last goodbye to Dr. Kate will be in the form of gifts. Dr. Kate spent much of her life giving things to the some 200 residents of Woodruff. In return, town leaders asked the mourners to bring memorial gifts for the hospital she build with penny contributions and for the nearby Boulder Junction Community church, which she helped found and where her funeral services will be held. Dr. Kate gained national prominence two years ago when she made a nationwide appeal for pennies to build a hospital for Woodruff. Housewife Should Be the Fire Chief Urbana, 111. tU.R) The house wife should be the fire chief since she is usually home when fire breaks out, according to a University of Illinois safety spec ialist, O. L. Hogsett. The "fire chief should check up on others in the family to see that they don't start fires through carelessness. She also must be careful in her own homemakfng tasks. Home dry cleanin gfires kill more than 800 persons every year, Hogsett said, and electric irons alone start 40 fires each day in Ameri can homes. Woman Indignant; Tax Matter Dropped Springfield, 111. (U.R) A one time resident of Springfield has indignantly refused to pay a local tax bill. The woman, now living in Chi cago, returned the tax bill to Sangamon County treasurer Earl O. Ramey with an explanation: "We got nothing out of Spring field except asthma." She said she and her husband did not work in Springfield, but lived there, and "spent all our money there." The tax collector let the mat ter drop. SHORTCAKE SEASON Strawberry shortcake season is short so feed the family this divine dessert before the crop disappears into freezers and jam jars.

Strawberries Have Many Takers; Memo en Their Cost And Care Strawberries are big business in our part of the country. Cali fornia has 19,000 acres planted to strawberries; Oregon has 18, 500 acres and Washington boasts 4,000 acres. Fresh strawberries are wonderful. They're fine for eating out-of-hand dipped in powdered sugar, with plain cream, whipped cream or sour cream, in shortcakes, frozen puddings, custard delights and many other ways. Frozen straw berries lead all other frozen fruits in amount we eat per per son. Strawberries also head the list of fruits used for commer cially packed jams and pre serves. All of the foregoing items in fluence their cost. There's no longer a peak-of-the-season when the bottom drops out of straw berry prices. On the contrary, at the peak of the season, the com mercial freezer and commercial jam maker is also busy picking and buying strawberries. So it's every man for himself. Many home makers like to freeze a few strawberries, make home-made jam and preserves, as well as offering the family fresh strawberry treats. Keep an eye out for best buys to be sure, but do not expect the kind of bar gains Mother used to get. Trust Your Fruit Man On strawberries and all of the other berries and fruits that will be coming along, take your fruit (and berry) man into your confi dence. Tell him what vou have in mind; how many half-pints or pints or quarts you want to "put up" and he will advise you. He may say "right now" so don't dilly dally or he may say that he will hold them for you on Mon day. Fast Handling Strawberries are highly per ishable. They should be used within a day. If you're freezing or home preserving, plan to handle them fast, preferably as soon as you get them home. For eating fresh, carefully pour strawberries from the box into a shallow pan or tray to help prevent bruises. Store brief ly unwashed in the refrigerator. Just before using, wash the un hulled berries gently and quick ly in a bowl of cold water, let ting sand and soil sink to bottom of pan. Lift berries from water using your fingers as strainers Do not allow berries to soak in water; both color and flayor are lost. Remove caps after berries are cleaned and fairly dry. For freezing, wash berries and cap them as indicated for "eating fresh." Mix whole or sliced berries with sugar using 1 cup of sugar with four to six cups of berries, dependent on their sweetness and sweetness your' family prefers. Turn over and over gently until all sugar is dissolved Pack in moisture- vapor-proof containers. Remem ber to leave headspace for ber ries to expand. Freeze imme diately. For strawberry jam, we rec ommend that you use liquid or powdered fruit pectin and fol low simple directions on bottle or package. Saves time, pre serves fresh fruit flavor and col or, insures success; makes ber ries go further because there's no simmering. New Small Jar. Small families will welcome a new shoulderless half pint jar that is the nicest container ever invented for jel lies and other fruit spreads. The jars seal tightly; jelly, unmolds from jar just as from jelly glass.

IT) Indonesia President Sees Movie Industry Los Angeles tUR) President Sukarno of Indonesia today gets a look at the United States mo tion picture industry and will meet some of its top stars at a dinner in his honor to be given by Eric Johnston, president of the Motion Picture Association of America.
