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."

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.

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

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.
