TWO MEDFORD (OREGON) Count Blessings ; Daily, Not Just Thanksgiving United Presi Wemen'i Editor - New York TP When I was a small girl, at Thanksgiving time it wag one of us three children instead of the adults who was called on to say grace. It was a mixed blessing in a way one of us had, a chance to shine ever so briefly, but it held up our prog ress on the turkey. The blessing I recall from my childhood in a rural section of West Virginia went like this: "God i great, God is good; we will thnk him for this food. By His hand must all be fed, thanks be to God for daily bread." I remember that the aroma of the bird usually hurried us through the last few words and the "Amen." Now, my niece Ann, is repeat ing the same grace at her par ents' table. But she insists on saying it every day, not just on special occasion. Right Idea Perhaps this four-year-old has the right idea. Count our bless ings Thursday, certainly. But why not think of some of them each day? This might be the "tranquilizer" we need to get us through Sputnik and the Middle East . . . past the urge to tell off the boss or take the daily frus trations out on the rest of the family. Let us be thankful for health . . . for the progress medical science has made against polio, cancer, heart disease -and the other cripplers or killers. Be grateful for the family, in stead of the state, as the founda tion on which we build the future. For the splendor of a sunrise . . . the gentleness of snow . . . the delicacy of a rose . . for all the beauty in nature that is ours, no matter what the season. Special Thanks Maybe as long as we're being grateful, we should express thanks to a lady of long ago Miss Sarah Hale. This pioneer drummed for a national day of Thanksgiving from 1846 to 1863 in Godey's Lady's Book, which ahe edited. Three presidents turned her down, but persistence won and in 1863, Abraham Lin coln issued the first national proclamation. Miss Hale deserves children's gratitude for another reason. She wrote, "Mary Had A Little Lamb." Officers Elected By Church Circle Central Point The annual election of officers was held at a meeting of Women's Christian circle, Central Point Presbyteri an church, last week at the home of Mrs. Homer Jeffries, Scenic avenue.

ALL NIGHT U LSION IP tip Bira lririi There's a lot of talk about money these days. Scientists and government officials talk about the billions it will take to catch up with Russia on the ICBM race, business men wonder how much money Americans will part with to buy Christmas presents, father expounds about taxes and the increasing cost of putting junior through college and mother talks about raising enough money for the church circle or PTA. But a few millions or billions never seem to really worry Americans. For instance, women of the United States annually spend about S120 million on shampoo preparations; $64 million on lipsticks, $75 million for hair sprays and close to $60 million on facial cleansing preparations. Anyhow, that's what a fact sheet from the Toni company says. Oh, yes. No less an authority than the august firm of Batten-Barton, Durstine and Osborn, Inc., of 383 Madison avenue, New York, put out a release which says that Americans will spend about $71 million dollars on deodorants this year. "An intensification of the arms race is not what is required now to increase our security." These words were not written by a religious zealot, or a social worker or a woman. They were writ ten by Brig. Gen. Hugh B. Hester, who retired a few. years ago from the Army after 34 years of military and military-government service. Writing in the Saturday Review earlier this month, General Hester said that the United States "had no security before Sput nik began to sputter, that the Soviet Union had no security before Sputnik . . . and none since." He added "And what is more, the United States 'crash' program now demanded by all the propa ganda media will add exactly zero to this non-existent world se curity ..." The general says that "the history of all arms races between great powers proves this (that an arms race will not increase our security) for they have always led to war. This one will prove no exception, but it will be different in that the whole of Western civilization will be destroyed instead of only partially as before. For the first time in human history the farms and factories, homes, schools and churches and all people everywhere will be in the front line if war comes again. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles was stating only a half-truth when he said at his Washing ton press conference October 16 that the Soviet Union would have 'no privileged sanctuary' in any war with Turkey. He should have added, neither will the United States, Europe or North Africa, for they too will have no place to hide. This is the real meaning of sputtering Sputnik to us and men everywhere." General Hester then outlined a five-point program which he believes will strengthen our national security. First, he said, the President should resume discussion with the top leaders of the great powers. "The United Nations headquarters offers the -proper place for such a meeting, with the President of the United States in the role of host. (This was written, of course, before the Presi dent's latest illness.) Secondly, the general said instead of oppose the universahzation of the United Nations, and that "all voices should be heard." the U.S. government "discard its of those regimes actually in control of the instruments of power in other countries." His fourth suggestion was that the United States "should sponsor and support a gram under the auspices of the nate the worst features of poverty now smothering freedom in many lands." Finally, he suggested that the leadership of negotiations international trade and travel. There is certainly no longer any valid evidence to support the thesis that restrictions on trade with Communist countries have retarded, or will in the future delay, their scientific and technical progress." His closing lines were "It is worth repeating over and over again, I believe, that the real enemies of man are poverty, ignor ance and bigotry; that wars and preparations for war increase these; and that totalitarianism in whatever form is more often than not the symptom rather than the cause of man's maladies. The persistent sputtering of Sputnik merely re-emphasizes the importance of and necessity for man's continuous search for per manent peace, the grand design of which must-ever remain a Federation of the World and a Parliament of Man." The great actress, Helen Hayes, agrees with Potpourri about the chemise dress. In an interview with UP's Gay Pauley, Miss Hayes said "Well, I haven't seen any woman yet who looks good in them." Miss Hayes commented also that she would rather have (for America) "Dr. Jonas Salk and his polio vaccine than a satellite any day." On widowhood she said "Since women mostly outlive men it behooves us to find ways to ward off loneliness. There is a line in one of my favorite poems which goes something like this Solitude can be rich and gratifying, quite different from loneliness." O.S. Walter Lee Ray On 90th Birthday Anniversary Walter Lee Ray was honored at a surprise birthday party Sat urday, November 23 given in observance of his 90th birthday anniversary. The party was held at the home of his daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Victor Milnes, 15 North Groveland ave nue. Friends and neighbors of Mr. Ray were gathered when he ar rived.

We Give S&H GREEN STAMPS ANDERS PHOTO SHOP 232 EAST MAIN Flour Sack Now Has Many Uses New York (IPi The expres sion, "It fits like a sack" doesn't hold true anymore. Even if it is a sack. The National Cotton council reports that flour sacks and oth er cotton bags have emerged from the kitchen into a full fledged fashion material. Now, the soft, romantic look of high fashion has found its way into cotton bag materials. There are delicate prints in blue, pink, violet and pale green. All you need is a pattern to turn a feed bag into a smart dress of the popular 1930 style. Lots of women have tried it, too, including a cotton bag sew ing queen, Mrs. Jack May of Steamboat Springs, Colo. Mrs. May sewed tailored suits in a green geometric print for her self and her daughter. Both suits have identical loose jackets with round collars. Her skirt is slim, her daughter's skirt is flared, with suspender-type straps. To use the bags for sewing, rip the seams and wash the ma terial in warm, soapy water. Each 100-pound bag makes about one and one-third yards of sew ing material. Another use for using cotton bags is curtains. For example, a finalist in a national sewiryj contest used sack material to make "time of the year" cur tains. They were of plain whit fabric, edged with red rick-rack. And they had changeable trim mings holly, hearts, and flow ers. She changed the trimming to suit the holiday or season. Another way to brighten white kitchen curtains is to applique miniature print overalls and aprons across the tops. The overall and apron straps form the curtain loops. White bags can be raveled to look like fur for cuddly ani mals. Or you can make life-sized boy and girl dolls, and ravel the hair. Bags scraps can be turned into doll clothes. And small bags make bright tea towels or nap kins. -4 Hearty Chowder A hearty soup, a salad and dessert make a good winter-time supper. Combine instant minced onion, a can of potato soup and a small can of corn for a quick chowder. There's not even onion to chop when you use this handy moisture-free onion. Almond Appetizers Roasted almonds, natural or blanched, are wonderful for nib bling. A sprinkling of salt en hances their delicate flavor. When served as an appetizer, chili powder, curry powder or hickory smoke salt mades de licious seasonings. Shirl Elegance The Home Is For Living NOT Laundering! LET US DO YOUR SHIRTS!
