Shape Diet Pattern
To Lifetime Needs
Fargo, N.D. U.R) A College
nutritionist says the proper way
to guard against being over
weight is to adopt a diet you can
live with all your life instead of
just a few months.
Ruth Dawson of North Dako
ta Agricultural College warned
fat can be fatal. She said insur
ance figures show the fat man's
mortality rate exceeds that of
the average person by 50 per.
cent.
According to Miss Dawson, the
best way to keep your weight
down is to cut down on foods,
not to omit them.
Do not eliminate any single
food, she advised, but go slow
on rich desserts, fried foods and
high calorie foods.
"Two pounds a week are
enough to lose," she said. "Re
duce slowly and you will stay
reduced."
Miss Dawson added exercise
ss one part of her recommended
method to reduce.
"Exercise is important in help
ing to shave off extra pounds, as
diet alone won't do it," she said.
"Watch your acttivities to avoid
too much sitting, and change
your living pattern along with
your diet."

Brownie Leader
Is Blind Woman
By FRED ZAVATTERO
United Press Correspondent
Seattle (U.PJ Fancy needle
work is a fast disappearing art,
but 10 little girls in Seattle are
learning the skill, although their
instructor will never see the
finished stitches. She's been
blind since the age of 12.
As adult leader of Brownie
Troop 239, Mrs. John Quigg
supervises the often boisterous
activities of the youngsters who
meet in her home once a week.
"I try to help them have fun
and teach them something at the
same time," Mrs. Quigg said.
Mrs. Quigg began her work
with Brownies three years ago
when her iO year-old daughter
told her there was no . troop in
the neighborhood because no
woman supervisor could . be
found.
Knowi Them All
"I guess I was a natural for
the job," Mrs. Quigg said. "I've
learned so many crafts and skills
at schools for the blind."
After attending four Brownie
leadership 'training meetings,
Mrs. Quigg was on her own.
Troop 239 was organized.
Although blind, she can iden
tify all members of the troop.
The girls believe she has some
secret way of knowing what
they're doing. They're still
mystifield when Mrs. Quigg
threads a needle for them.
"One little girl used to hide
from me," Mrs. Quigg said. "I
I just ignored her and she finally
' gave up."
j Games' and craft work make
! up the main portion of the week
ly gatherings. Mrs. Quigg has
i taught them basket-weaving,
sewing, and leather work and
the troop won a prize at a local
art show with one of its projects.
The reputation of Troop 239
i has spread. Mrs. Quigg is be
sieged by calls from mothers
' who would like to have their
girls belong to the group.
"I'm limited to 10 girls," Mrs.
Quigg explained, "or I'd take
more."
The slim, blue-eyed woman
will give up her growing
Brownies this year because she
can't participate in older girls'
activities. But that doesn't mean
retirement.
"My three-year-old boy will be
ready for the Cub Scouts in a
few years, and the Cubs always
need den mothers," Mrs. Quigg
said. "
The boys, like the girls, soon
will forget Mrs. Quigg is blind.
It took one little girl more than
a year to learn that her troop
leader was blind. And then her
mother told her.

School Freedom
Program Topic
Of May Luncheon
In speaking of the May Fel
lowship day theme of United
Church Women, "Free Schools
in a Free America," the national
president, Mrs. Cynthia Wedel,
states "We know that illiteracy
is a terrible form of bondage
which places those who cannot
iesd or write at the mercy of
others who may present to them
truths or untruths. A free peo
ple must know how to discover
the truth. They must be literate
and be taught to think for them
selves and to judge right and
wrong. This was the basic rea
son for the establishment of our
system of public education."
Medford Council of Church
Women has planned its May Fel
lowship day luncheon for Fri
day, May 3, in St. Mark's Guild
hall at 12:30 p.m. Tickets may
be purchased from church rep
resentatives to the council. All
interested are invited to attend
the luncheon and program. An
attendant will care 'for small
children.
Officers of the Council state
that proceeds from the luncheon
will be used in assisting in the
work of teaching Bible history
in the schools.
Mrs. Gaston Floux and Mrs.
Samuel Earhart, -co-chairmen for
the day, have arranged the program.
Two Women Join

Snapdragon Popular Flower;
Develop New Hybrid Strain
By EDNA KING MANDEVILLEdoors about eight weeks before
When I was a child, many
years ago, I used to think that
"snapdragon" was a rather ter
rifying name for a flower, espe
cially one so beautiful. But at
least it is preferable to "antirr
hinium," which is the true name
for this well-known flower.
. Snapdragon is the most popu
lar of many flowers producing
spikes of florets, largely because
it is easy to grow in any aver
age garden soil and makes splen
did displays in the garden. The
fact that it is unexcelled for cut
ting has made it a favorite item
with florists. At one time, the
popularity of this flower was
threatened by the fungus disease
commonly called rust, but plant
breeders promptly developed
rust-resistant strains which have
enabled snapdragons to continue
as one of our most desirable
flowers.
For many years the tall rust
resistant snapdragons have been
the most popular variety, but re
cently breeders have developed
a tetraploit snapdragon by treat
ing regular varieties with the
drug colchicene." This increases
the number of chromosomes
from two to four and produces
stockier plants with heavier
stems and foliage. More impor
tant, the flowers of this new
variety are larger and more ruf
fled, making them more popular
for cutting purposes though
possibly not quite as graceful for
the garden.
All this might seem quite
technical to those of you who
are interested only in the final
beautiful appearance of your
garden. But I feel that a bit of
this technical information will
add to your enjoyment of flower
gardening as a satisfying hobby. J
Those of you who might desire
very early flowers with long
spikes and a wide range of col
ors will be interested in the new
F-2 Hybrid Mardi Gras strain.
It is noted for its extremely wide
color range, including some col
ors never before seen in snap
dragons. Just imagine a single
package of snapdragon seed pro
ducing flowers of white, light
chartreuse, lemon-yellow, canary
yellow, golden yellow, gold or
ange copper, scarlet - orange,
light pink, rose-pink, cream,
scarlet, velvety red, and many
other distinct bi-colors! You get
them all with this new hybrid.
For those of you desiring a
colorful edging, the very dwarf
"magic carpet" is a fine little
snapdragon. Growing to a height
of only six to nine inches, the
magic carpet has become almost
a "must" for rock gardens and
edging. Though generally not
suited for cutting, it does make
colorful miniature bouquets.
If you want to really, get a
head start with your snapdrag
ons, it's wise to sow the seed in-

the planting time suggested on
the seed packet. When two or
three inches high, the seedlings
may be transplanted to the gar
den. After they are well estab
lished outdoors about two
weeks after transplanting
pinch out the tops of some of
the plants, leaving only three or
four pairs of leaves. This may
tend to slightly delay blooming,
but will encourage branching. If
you want to be sure of produc
ing early flowers, just leave
some of the plants "unpinched."
Snapdragons are most often
grown as an annual, but actually
the are a perennial that will sur
vive and bloom next season, pro
vided they are planted in late
summer or early fall in soil that
drains well.
Whenever my friends are
planning a flower garden, I al
ways remind them to include
snapdragons. Over the years I've
found them almost unequalled
for brightening both the garden
and the home.
Vermont Housewife j
'Sparks' Invention
Chicago 0J.R) A Vermont,
111., housewife, who resented
the extra steps necessary to add
water conditioner to her wash
ing machine, sparked an inven
tion which will be included in
one new home appliance line.
Mrs. Loyal N. Tinsley Jr., in
sisted that her husband, a "base
ment inventor" and owner-manager
of two machine tool plants,
do something to save her time.
He put together two pie tins and
a tuna fish can to make a device
which, operating on centrifugal
force, would automatically dis
pense water conditioner at the
right moment during the rinse
cycle.
Her husband then took the
idea to Norge's Judson S. Sayre,
who pioneered the automatic
washer. Sayre called in the
f 'rm's . engineers to design a
sleeker unit, now called the dis
penser ' wheel.- The first one
made went to Mrs. Tinsley.

Corduroy Washing
Explained by Expert
Fargo, N.D. U.R) Cordu
roy usually is all cotton and if a
garment has no complicated
tailoring, it can be washed in
any mild soap and warm water,
extension clothing ' agent Julia
Brekke said.
The following suggestions by
Miss Brekke will help corduroy
keep its rich color, softness and
deep pile: 1
"Use a mild soap or suitable
detergent and warm water.
Squeeze suds through the fabric
and rinse by pressing the water
out gently. Do not twist or use
a wringer as this will set deep
creases into the pile.
"When you take the garnjent
out of the water, straighten it out
in every detail. Turn up the cuffs
on trousers and reset or smooth
the collar. Place it on a clothes
hanger, hanging skirts or
trousers evenly from the waist
band.
"If you use a drier, turn dark
corduroy inside out to avoid pos
sible lint adherence. Use 'cot
ton' setting of heat and remove
the garment before it is Com
pletely dry to keep wrinkles
from setting. Give it a brisk
shake and complete drying."
Miss Brekke advised pressing
corduroy on the wrong side over
a well padded ironing board
with a steam iron. Go slowly, so
the steam penetrates through to
the right side. Then, turn it over
and brush the pile to raise it.
