o O O TWO fltBrOD (ORSGOH) Santa Claus, Satellite Age Featured on Christmas Cards By GAY PAULEY United Press Women' Editor New York 0? Santa Claus and the satellite'age get together this year. The old gentlemen, number one cover boy for Christmas cards, heads for his appointed rounds via rocket and space ship instead of reindeer and sleigh in many of this season's designs. Apparently his pack also is out moded for outer space. It is missing in many of the artist's drawings. Santa Keeps Up "Well, Santa has to keep up with the times," explained Ste phen Q. Shannon, executive di rector of the Greeting Card as sociation. Shannon said cards of religous character will make up 25 per cent of the 35,000 designs avail ible this year. But in the cards of general nature, 12 per cent feature Santa, trailed closely by Christmas tree ornaments, can dles and floral decorations. The Winners Named In Wool Contest Miss Betty Doerfling, Grants Pass, placed second in the Junior division of the Oregon "Make It Yourself With Wool" contest helf Friday in Portland. Miss Doerfling and Miss Dona Brown. Applegate, represented the Med-ford-Grants Pass district at the state finals after they won in a contest held in Medford October 12. Miss Doerfling entered a double-breasted black and white tweed coat featuring push-up sleeves and full collar. Miss Brown, who participated in the senior division, chose to make an ensemble consisting of green crepe sheath dress and a tan flannel coat. Miss Doerfling received a prize of a Singer featherweight sewing machine. The contest was sponsored jointly by the wool bureau and women's auxiliary of the Na tional Wool - Growers associa tion. State winners, who received checks for a round-trip trip to Phoenix, Ariz., to compete in the national contest, were Miss q Suzanne Lozier, Enterprise, and Kiss Lanna Gulzow, La Grande.

In shape, most cards are "tall er and skinnier" than ever, the association said. Apparently the "shop early" preaching is effective. Shannon said some persons began Christ mas card selecting in July and purchases have picked up speed since Labor Day. Now, with Christmas still six weeks away, the card counters are jammed. Two Billion Cards The association estimated the average American household will send 57 cards, or a record total for the nation of 2,400,000, 000. It'll cost 70 million dollars to mail them all. Christmas cards make up half of all greeting cards sent, includ ing birthday, get well and Valen tine. The Christmas card custom or iginated in England in 1843, when an illustrator named John Calcott Horsley painted one. A Roxbury, Mass., lithographer named Louis Prang published the first in this country in 1875 and wondered whether it would sell. By the middle of the 1880's, he was printing five mil lion each year. Some of Prang's cards came in as many as 17 coolrs; some were embellished with silk fringes and sold for $3 each. The average card today is far less costly, but may be just as artistic. One group, from the American artists, features repro ductions of original works by 470 modern artists. One manu facturer. Hallmark, this year lined up paintings from Cecil Beaton. Norman Rockwell and Sir Winston Churchill. Experts Explain Care of Freezer LEXINGTON, Ky (W Home freezers are commonplace but many owners are not getting full benefit from them because they do not know or follow a few simple rules of mainten ance. The University of Kentucky's home management experts warned that freezers should be completely defrosted and clean ed once or twice a year or when the frost is from i to Vi-inch thick. The manufacturer's instruc tions for this chore should be followed. If the service manual that came with the freezer has been lost, better write to the manufacturer for another copy. A home freezer should run about 18 hours out of every 24. A dirty condenser may make it run 20 hours. A thick coat of ice crystals inside the box may increase the running time to 22 hours a day. When food is loaded, the motor may run con stantly. Chances are this will soon cause a breakdown in the freez er, but even if it doesn't, the quality of the food kept will de cline rapidly as the inside tem perature rises, thus offsetting much of the saving in food costs which should be one of the major benefits of a home freez er. Such inefficient operation also runs up the electric bill. To defrost, disconnect the freezer and wrap the food pack ages in several layers of news paper, stacking them tightly in a box or covering them with a blanket. Scrape the ice from the inside of the freezer and hasten the defrosting by using an electric fan. Never use hot water, or you will have trouble starting the compressor again. When all the frost is off, wash the walls with warm soda water, rinse and dry. Connect the freez er, cool to zero, and replace the food. To keep the freezer free of frost unwrapped food must nev er be placed in it. The freez ing action will draw the mois ture from unwrapped food spoil ing its freshness and depositing moisture on the freezer walls where it turns to frost. Toast For Breakfast Should Be Varied It's hard to imagine what breakfast would be like with out toast. Nutritionally, toast launches your day in fine style when made from enriched or whole grain bread. Enrichment adds three B-vitamins thai mine, niacin and riboflavin and food iron. When you make a point or varying the breads you use for toast, you startthe day with a bright new flavor note. Serve raisin toast on Mon day; enriched white toast with honey butter Tuesday; toasted egg twist Wednesday; wnoxe wheat toast with apple butter j Thursday; crusty Vienna bread j Friday; and snappy rye bread j Saturday. Save elegant trencn toast made from enriched bread for Sunday morning. Annual Election . Set for Nurses The annual election of officers will be held at a meeting of Dis trict Four, Oregon Nurses' asso ciation, set for tonight at 8 o'clock. It will be held at Sacred Heart hospital. Mrs. Christine Bates is the re tiring president. Tuesday, November 12, 1957 Topic Announced For Medford Unit "Credit Buying," will be the subject discussed by Medford Extension unit when the group meets at 10:30 a.m., Wednesday, November 13, in the courthouse on Oakdale avenue. Members are to take table service for themselves and their guests. Luncheon is served for a small sum. Children may be brought to the meeting place, where their care will be provided. All persons interested are invited. Rijsttafel, or "rice table" is a favorite in the Dutch East Indies. Set your table with a shrimp curry as the main dish, surround it with interesting accompaniments, such as flaked coconut, peanuts and spicy chutney, and you will have, on a small scale, a Rijsttafel. An authentic "rice table" may have as many as 37 accompaniments. For the shrimp curry use Vi cup sliced onion, 1 clove garlic, sliced, V cup cooking oil, to 2 tablespoons curry powder, V4 cup flour, J2 teaspoon salt, 3 cups shrimp stock or bouillon, 21 2 cups cooked shrimp, 2 teaspoons lemon juice, 113 cups pre cooked rice, 1 cup flake coconut. Saute onions and garlic in oil in large skillet until onion is lightly browned. Remove from heat, add curry powder, flour and Vz teaspoon salt; stir to blend. Return to heat and add stock grad ually, stirring constantly. Cook and stir until thickened. Add shrimp and simmer 10 to 15 minutes or until mixture is thoroughly heated and flavors are blended. Add lemon juice. While shrimp is heating, prepare pre-cooked rice, following exactly directions on box. Serve the curried shrimp over hot rice and sprinkle with coconut.

Laundry Tip A home economics expert on laundering explains that a rapid change of temperature helps to set or "freeze" wrinkles and creases in fabrics. That's why it's best not to subject clothes to cool rinses after washing in warm or hot soap or detergent suds. REVIVAL Continues at the FOURSQUARE CHURCH East Jackson & Biddle Rd.

Art Instructor To Give Review Eugene The second annual Oregon Art Education associa tion conference will draw pub lic school art instructors from throughout the state to the uni versity campus November 16. Keynote speaker for the meet ing will be Mayo Bryce, profes sor of art and education at San Francisco State college. Mr. Bryce pioneered uniting music, art, drama, and dance. His work culminated in a grant from the Ford Foundation to present 30 television shows. A new art education hand book will be introduced to the conference delegates during the morning program. Warren Wolfe, art instructor at Medford high school, will discuss the philosophy of the book. . Dean William C. Jones, dean of administration, will be the featured speaker at the noon Something Big Said Needed To Regain Prestige From Russia Cambridge, Mass. OPi The United States must put up some thing as big and spectacular as a space platform before this na tion can regain international prestige, a scientist said today. "We can never catch up in the sense that Russia has already done what we set out to do," said Dr. John S. Rinehart, associate director of the Smithsonian As trophysical Observatory. Long-Lived Object Deeded "But we could go ahead of the Russians by performing a bigger and better scientific experiment" he said. The present Russian ex periments are short-lived, Rine hart explained, and the next step is to place a long-lived object such as a space platform in the sky. He said the Russians beat us to the first satellite because they "sat down, went to work and ap plied the knowledge they had." "Here we've been given a much freer hand to play and sci entists like to play," he said. However, Rinehart said he be lieves the American scientific program with its greater free dom "generally leads to the best things in the long run." The satellite involves nothing new in a scientific sense, he said. "It's simply a matter of technology. We can certainly do it." "They've put on a wonderful show," Rinehart said. "Scientists enjoy seeing a good experiment well done and I have enjoyed these Russian satellites tremen dously." Rinehart, who is a ballistician Animated Cartoon Topic of Roundtable A brief history of animated cartoons was presented at the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce roundtable Monday by Medford commercial artist Bill McCorkle. McCorkle also explained how animated cartoons are produced. He was employed by Walt Dis ney studios for six years before moving to the Medford area. The growing importance of car toons being used for television commercials was discussed. Mc Corkle showed several examples of his work now being used on local TV. Next Monday's roundtable meeting will feature Gordon Taylor speaking on the California-Oregon building ex change, according to chamber of ficials. Secretary of State Mark Hatfield is scheduled to speak at the roundtable Nov. 25.

Also, he said, "you can find a big military effort along scien tific lines beginning in Russia as far back as the Napoleonic wars." "For a century at least they have been extremely competent in the area of ballistics," he said. "And in 1903," Rinehart said, "the Russians were thinking ser iously of space travel. You can find drawings of space ships their scientists designed that year. Nixons in Emergency Landing at Miami Washington (IP) Vice President and Mrs. Richard M. Nixon were aboard an Eastern Airlines Super Constellation air coach that made an emergency landing at Miami Monday night. The airline said the Nixons' plane was forced to turn back over Palm Beach with engine trouble. They arrived here shortly after midnight aboard another plane. An inboard engine on the four motored craft began acting up 20 minutes out of Miami, where the Nixons had been vacation iong for the past week. The air line said the pilot feathered the prop and returned for a land ing without incident. The Nixons and 73 other pas sengers changed planes and ar rived in Washington about two hours late. Grocers Favor 'Observance Day' Portland (IP) The Oregon Retail Grocers association Mon day passed a resolution favoring a "family observance day" in which the stores would remain closed on either Saturday or Sunday of each week. Ray Hiatt, Portland grocer and chairman of the retailers committee, said such a policy would be "fairest to everyone in the association." Gov. Robert D. Holmes spoke to grocers Monday night. He said the independent grocers closeness to the pulse of Ameri can community life obligates him to continue activity in com munity service. More Urged To Make Use of Salk Vaccine Portland (in Dr. Herman A. Dickel, president of the Mult nomah County Medical Society, Monday urged more persons to take Salk vaccine shots at an "earliest" possible date to avert new outbreaks of the crippling disease.

(TO The National Grange took up questions of farm policy today in the wake of a call by its top of ficial to put domestic farm prices relatively high and ex port prices relatively low. Herschel Newsom, master of the Grange, said "with this ap proach the government can get out of the business of buying, storing and sell the nation's sur plus farm products. "The present price support program is price fixing, and any kind of government price fix ing is wrong, whether it is done at the discretion of the secretary of agriculture or by an act of Congress." Newsom addressed the open ing day session Monday at the, Grange's 91st annual convention. He said the Eisenhower admin istration's plan to reduce price supports below current levels would not work, either. Edward F. Bolter, who heads the Grange's educational pro gram, suggested a national sci ence academy on a par with the Army, Navy and Air Force acad emies. "We would be taking a big step toward restoration of pride in scholaship, or social approval of intellectual proficiency," with a science academy, he said. Bunker Hill Earnings Reported in Decline San Francisco (IP) The Bunk er Hill company has announced that its earnings dropped 77 cents a share for the first three quarters of 1957 despite the highest sales in the company's history for a three-quarter per iod. Earnings for the 1957 period amounted to 75 cents a share, compared to $1.52 for the same period last year. John D. Bradley, president of the mining company, said the lowered earnings were primar ily a result of the precipitous drop in lead and zinc prices that followed suspension of the bar ter program. Between May 1 and July 1, lead prices fell 2 cents and zinc prices 3 cents.
