Grapefruit, Oranges Now in Good Supply - Grapefruit, oranges, tange rines and tangelos are January food bargains packaged to please the pocketbook and spark mid winter appetites, advise Oregon State college extension market ing specialists. Temple oranges from Florida and navels from California are already at local markets, they say, and good supplies of citrus fruits are expected to continue until April. Although the tange rine crops is a little larger this year, supplies of golden grape fruit will not be as great as the result of a Florida dry" spell. However, promise of more red and pink and seedless grapefruit for Oregon tables is seen in latest U. S. department of agriculture marketing information. New plantings of grapefruit trees in Texas and Florida that will re place those killed by freezes of 1949 and 1951 have started to bear and will increase produc tion over the next few years. Switzerland is often called the most highly industrialized country in Europe. ' Is That So? Ever wonder how the famous line in Yankee Doodle, the one . . . "Stuck with a feather in his hat and called him macaroni?" came about? A Dr. Schuckburgh, a Brit ish army surgeon in Lord Am herst's army, wrote the doggerel in an obvious attempt to ridicule the shabbily dressed provincial troops of Colonel Thomas Fitch of Norwalk, Conn. Since then, of course, it has become our quasi-national song. The story goes that the colo nel's sister, Elizabeth Fitch, was distressed about her brother's army dress and saying, "Tom you must have some sort of uni form," ran into the barnyard and got a long turkey feather for his hat. Fitch caught the humor of the situation and in true Yankee spirit took along enough turkey tail feathers for all his troops. When the eminent doctor saw the feathered farm ers approaching, he sarcastically referred to them as "macaronis" which was the slang of the day for "dudes." A Norwegian friend joining us at a barbecue observed: "Great people, you Americans. Was the time when you used to eat inside and go to the bath room outside. Now you eat out side and go to the bathroom inside. Big advance. Real prog ress!" The word "seasoning of wood" now means its proper drying. But at one time it referred to the proper season of the year1 for felling and hewina the wood. The drying of wood, so old almanacs say, is more properly accomplished when it is worked upon during the right moon or season of the month. What's become of our scare crows, certainly a part ot our rural scene, just like the weath- ervane. As for weathervanes, the first ones were made of cloth. In fact, the word "vane" comes from the Anglo-Saxon word "fano," flag and the earli est windvanes were known as "winde-anos" or wind - flags, states Eric Sloan's Almanac and Weather Forecaster (Duell, Sloan, & Pearce, N.Y.). First weathervanes made In America were made of very light and dry white pine in the form of arrows, hands and fish. Cocks and horses did not show up until metal vanes appeared. The first windows in America were rare and expensive. They were small and the movable property of every house owner. When you moved, you took your windows along with you.
