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.

MAIL TRIBUNE
Madonna is the most popular de
sign in the religous group.
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.

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.

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

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

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

Grange Discusses
Farm Price Policy
Colorado Springs, Colo. (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.
