TWO MEDFORD (ORZGOrT) MAIL TRIBUNE Rich Briton Bets Princess Will Wed Wallace By ROBERT MUSEL United Pret Correspondent London (U.R) A rich Briton ; has made a sizeable bet that Princess Margaret will marry Billy Wallace. : The 30-year-old Wallace is the millionaire stepson of American ; editor Herbert Agar. He and Margaret, now 26, have been "good friends" since their teens. The bettor is a shrewd figure in London's financial district. Court and society circles first ridiculed the bet, but now it's as big a topic as Suez and gas ra tioning in the elegant night clubs. . The court source who disclosed the bet said the bettor had tied these facts together: Frequent Companions The princess and Wallace are seeing each other more frequent ly. They have quiet dinners with a few friends in his apartment. They have much the same likes theater, music, dancing and dislikes. Wallace has just bought a new house a surprisingly big one for a bachelor and the princess has been advising him on inter ior decorating. The polo-playing Wallace has virtually withdrawn from night life. Close friends say this has nothing to do with romance. But its a fact that young men tapped by the crown suddenly become very retiring. No Special Favorite Since the end of Margaret's romance with Group Capt. Peter Townsend the princess has shown no special favor to any of the dwindling group of eligibles. The word -"spinster" has been whis pered 'in knowledgeable court circles. Her name has been linked with Christopher Lloyd, a wealthy landowner; Denys Dawnay, an artist; Dominic Minto, son of the ecrl of Minto, and Gerald Bridge man, an art connoisseur. Maybe one or two others. But Margaret has known none of them as long or as well as Billy Wallace. Girl Scouts Troop 164, Roosevelt district, has been aotive this past month. We started off with a float in the Christmas parade which got us in the Christmas spirit. Next we had a square dance and box social at the Roosevelt gym to laise money so the firemen re pairing toys could have it to buy paint for the broken toys. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Barker, Mr. and Mrs. Don Madden and our leaders, Mrs. King, Mrs. Elzea and Mrs. Gannon chaper oned the dance. Mr. McClean supervised the dancing. We had a Christmas tree at the dance for which we had made the ornaments. After the dance was over we took the tree to a convalescent home. In a later meeting we decorated a tree with gifts and candy for the children's ward at the hospital. At the same meeting we exchanged gifts with the members of our troop. Sandra Gannon, Scribe.

My sister doesn't know child psychology. Mrs. S. R. A mother's in stinct is best. - Marjorie D. I am a college student of 19. I recently moved in with my married sister who lives near the school I am at tending. I haven't had too much con tact with my sister and her children during the past few years, but now I am here I am horrified at what I see. My sister doesn't seem to know a thing about child psychology. She favors her little boy over her daughter. She is making a sissy out of the boy and a neurotic out of the girl. She'll say such things as "you're just a bag of bones" to her little girl and the child is terribly sensitive about her looks. I have been arguing with my sister day and night about this, but I can't seem to make her see the harm she is doing. w Mrs. S. R. Ever since Mar jorie came, to stay with us I've been so nervous I don't know what I'm doing. Marjorie thinks she knows everything just be cause she has studied phychol ogy. but I don't think those people who write the books know much about real children. A mother's instinct is always best. The reason I get so nervous with Marjorie around is that she gives me a nasty look almost everytime I say anything to one of the children. I know she's a clever girl, but she doesn't know what its like to have all your own work and care for two very active and mischievous kids. . I don't favor my son. He is only four years old and it is natural to cuddle him more. I tell my little girl she's skinny because I want her to eat more, Spring Collections Feature Plunging Necklines in Back By GAY PAULEY United Press Correspondent New York (U.R) Plunging necklines came back with plenty of exposure today. But in reverse. Designer Claire McCardell showed a daring display of epi dermis at the back in everything from daytime and evening dresses to bathing suits. Designer Oleg Cassini reserved the bared spinal columns for evening. Miss McCardell's spring col lection, shown to 200 visiting fashion reporters, featured "shoulder-blade" backs, in which Food and Drug Commissioner Lists Committee Washington, D. C. Appoint ment to the food standards com mittee of the Food and Drug Ad ministration were announced re cently by Commissioner George P. Larrick. The committee is an advisory group of state and fedr eral officials which makes rec ommendations to the commis sioner of food and drugs in re gard to food standards. Mr. Larrick said that industry groups and consumers have been urging that the Food and Drug Administration resume active work in the food standards field. A meeting of the committee is planned early in 1957 to discuss problems and situations now re quiring attention. Consumers, officials, and members of the food industries who have sug gestions for consideration by the committee are invited to send them to Joseph Callaway, Food Standards Branch, Food and Drug Administration, Washing ton 25, D. C. Frank A. Vorhes, chief of the FDA Division of Food and a member of the committee, has been designated as chairman. Malcolm R. Stephens, director of the FDA Bureau of Enforce ment, has been appointed as the second FDA member, to succeed William A. Queen. Mr. Callaway will continue to serve as secre tary. Former Teacher To Be Speaker Mrs. Bertha Haskins, former teacher and principal at West Side school, will be guest speak er at the West Side Mothers' club meeting to be held Wednes day, January 9, at 8 p.m. in the school library. Mrs. Haskins will tell of her and Mr. Haskins' recent trip to Europe and will show pictures taken while they were abyad. Mrs. B. D. Blackstone, vice president of the organization, will be in charge of the meet ing in the absence of Mrs. P. G. Humphries, president, who has been ill. The Council: Mrs. S. R. scoffs at her sister and the psychology books, but she sees much too much in awe of both. Why should her younger sister's nasty looks or comments make her nervous if she is so sure a moth er's instinct is always best? The fact is that a mother's in stinct can at times be a little off beam and at other times what she calls instinct can be pure nerves. Psychology books teach some useful things but they can leave out other things or the reader may not have sufficient judgment or exper ience to apply the insights given in the book. This is Marjorie's trouble. She has learned a few facts, but not all, and she does not know how to apply her knowledge. Her "arguing night and day" with an already harassed mother is bad psychology at the very least. She is not only upsetting her sister, but forcing her to take a fighting attitude toward knowledge that might be help ful to her. The "nasty looks" Margorie turns on her sister are also up setting and will not go unnoticed by the children. It will under mine their confidence in their mother and give them an un happy sense of conflict in the home. At present Marjorie is just an interfering aunt instead of a helpful one. She can be heplful in this home if she tries to do positive things for the children instead of nagging their mother. She might cuddle the little girl and tell her she is pretty if she feels the child lacks affection and confidence. She might buy the little boy some real boy's toys if she thinks his mother is, making a sissy of him. . Tueidty, January 1, 18J7 I she scissored out enough mater ial to bare only milday i upper torso, and complete barebaeks, in which the neckline plunges all the way to the belted waist line. Fronts High The fronts are high, in the manner of the halter neck ihis designer featured in the early years of World War II. Who can best wear the dare? "Just like the front, it de pends on the back," said Miss McC. The youthful designer, former model, has added a pro tective cover in the form of brief jacket or cape for the wom an who has less than a perfect back or more than the average amount of modesty. "I do believe in covering up traffic," said the designer. Miss McCardell's collection was the first in this week's series of spring fashion shows, spon sored by the Couture group of the New York Dress Institute. Her summer cocktail and din ner dresses hit 10 inches from the floor. And daytime dresses had 10-inch hems just in case a woman one day wants to lengthen. Slim Skirts The firm of Monte Sano and Pruzan showed both the mid calf and near-ankle length in late day and afternoon costumes. Monte Sano's suit skirts most ly were slim, and jackets gener ally in two lengths. One ended at the waistline; the other was wrist length. Tunic and belted suits high lighted the Harry Frechtel col lection. This firm showed' the belts either of leather or, of the suit fabric. Capes, revived in both New York and Paris last fall, will sweep right into spring. Frechtel showed them in all lengths. Some were collared; others banded to stand out around the neckline. Designer Roxane of Samuel Winston used little, capes in stead of jackets or boleros to complete a costume. - Menckes Return From California Mr. and - Mrs.- Raymond E. Mencke and children, Carolyn and Eddie, have returned to their home at 2141 East Jackson boulevard, after a vacation trip to southern California. They at tended the Tournament of Roses and Rose Bowl game in Pasa dena, and also visited Palm Springs and Los Angeles.

The lady is Elsa Schoen. The laboratory is in the plant of Polak and Schwarz Inc. And the compound could be any of a hundred flavor bases for com mercially canned, baked, or bot tled goods. "American food laboratories, engineers and processors spend millions annually to bring the public better things to' eat" at the lowest possible prices," says Mrs. Schoen who has devoted most of her life to flavor re search and today qualifies as one of the nation's leading experts. Born in Germany, she started her food career there and came to this country as a young wom an and continued in the flavor compunding profession, tasting and smelling her way to a high position - in New York. More than a year ago, she left there to become chief flavor technician for the Western Division of Polak and Schwarz, one of the world's largest compounders of flavor and fragrance bases and dealers in essential oils. "What the American woman probably doesn't realize is that every day hundreds of people are working for her to improve the flavors of the foods - she buys and serves to her familj'," says Mrs. Schoen. "We work diligently to provide flavors that will give foods a delectable taste and retain their shelf life with out increasing costs. "This applies whether you serve canned or frozen foods, bakers' goods, or cook your own. But I believe the house wife . can use her own imagination and season to suit her family's taste. She can add a little extra and still improve the flavor. "Extracts, such as lemon, orange, and vanilla; spices; herbs; bitter almond a dash or two here and there helps to give many dishes a distinctive flavor. Mrs. Schoen points out how laboratory experiments have helped to improve the quality of doughnuts. "They must be fried at a high temperature to prevent them from becoming grease soaked,' she explains. "The hotter, the better the higher the temper ature, the less -.-fat absorbed. Usually, doughnuts are fried at 375 to 385 degrees,- 40 seconds on each side. Soft fixes can take even higher temperatures. "This is fine," says Mrs. Schoen, "but at such heats, the flavoring is lost. So we had to devise imitation flavors syn thetcis that would be more heat resistant. The result is that today our synthetic oils of mace, nutmeg and citrus or our vanilla blend with the 12 to 14 ingred ients in yeast doughnuts 7 or 8 in baking powder doughnuts and impart the right taste to, the finished products. i KOTI-TV f I CALENDAR Calendar attlcee r-nd nam for the eomet? eectioB of The MAU Tribune must b ubmitted Ln writing and deadline for the Sun day edition la 1 pjn Friday 'Dead line for the weekly calendar ia 8 &.m of the day of publication and for week da newi la 5 pan the day before publication.

Capital's Gonfusi n.iL f i i rain omoornea By PATRICIA WIGGINS United Press Correspondent Washington (U.R) Wives of newly elected or appointed offi cials needn't worry about stum bling along the capital's confus ing protocol path when the 85th congress convenes. Once here, they'll find any number of willing hands to help ease newcomers over the social hurdles.' Depending on rank or prob lem, the ladies from Oshkosh or Amarillo.need only to send out a social SOS to the White House, the State Department, the Penta gon or the Congressional' Club, to name a few, to get the prob lem solved. There also is Washington's un official social arbiter, Carolyn Hagner Shaw. Her annual "Green Book" Social Register has a special section on "Protocol and Social Form in Washington." For $15, a newcomer to Wash ington gets not only a copy of the book, but a chance to call, free of charge, friendly and knowl edgeable Mrs. Shaw for solving any individual dilemmas. "The State Department," Mrs. Shaw notes, "can give you the proper calling procedure, but it won't tell you what to wear." Mrs. Shaw advises on every thing. Like whether to keep gloves on or off in a receiving line. She recommends the bare handed approach. Or that the Chief Justice outranks the Secre tary of State in a seating arrange ment at dinner. . Mrs. Shaw, who receives an average of 75 to 125 calls a day, also publishes a supplement to her "Green Book ' which recom mends where to trade for every thing from custom-made bras sieres and girdles to the ingredi ents for an afternoon tea. The Congressional Club, a 48-year-old bipartisan Club of Sen ate and House wives, also has social rules spelled out for new comers .in its annual roster for members. The booklet gives such tips as the fact that the Cabinet must make the first call on senators. And new senators, it notes, make the first call on Supreme uourt Justices and senators, al ready in office. New house mem bers are obliged to make first calls on all. It's the wives, of course, who handle ail arrangements. This is the ritual which Mrs. Ormonde Kieb,- wife of the As sistant Postmaster General, once Campfire Girls Party Held Du Ko To Camp Fire Girls and Troop Number 138 of the Girl Scouts held a roller skat ing party December 30 at the Rogue Valley Roller Rink.

Girl Scouts attending were Terry Crayette, Twila Finney, Jeanette Jensen, Sandy Joyce, Janice Offord and Nancy Wal ton.

The State Department's proto col office is available for any and all. The White House social office also is a source of guidance on state or White House functions. It can answer such questions as whether a White House invita tion must be answered (usually not, since it means a "command" appearance) or where to leave a calling card at the.
