DOC BROWN'S battered jalopy fModel T to be precise
was the subject for considerable merriment for the young
er fry in front of the village drug store. Doc Brown ignored
the jibes as he climbed into
the seat, then remarked
amiably, "This car's paid
for, boys. If you'll check
with your parents, you'll
discover that you ain't!"
The lady was shifting her
headquarters from her sum
mer home to her city apart
ment, but the moving van
failed to appear. So she phoned
the mover and listened to a
long. Involved explanation.
"All right, all right," she
interrupted finally. "I am
touched by your story but not moved."

It Is Warren Hull's notion that George Washington was not only
the father of his country, but the absolute Ideal of credit men.

Hollywood TCP! Fred Astaire,
long a TV holdout, makes his
video debut Sunday night, but
he'll leave his
dancing shoes
at home. The
loose - limbed
star has made
30 movies, all
of which de
pended heavily
on his hoofing.
Now he's jit
tery about a
Vernon Seott dan celess ap
pearance. A dedicated perfec
tionist, Fred is afraid viewers
will feel short-changed if he
plays it straight.
"People always expect me to
dance," he said, relaxing over
a cocktail in his home. "But
I'm hoping they won't demand
the same things from TV they
do from movies.
"I've never attempted televi
sion before because the lack of
time for preparation makes TV
terrifically difficult for a dancer.
New Approach Promised
'Every time I dance I try a
new approach. It is not some
thing that can be done easily
nor very often. All my dances
are original. I never repeat any
thing." As star of "Imp on a Cobweb
Leash" for "General Electric
Theater" on CBS, Astaire will
play a stuffy businessman who
kicks over the traces to have
a little fun.
"The script doesn't call for
dancing," he went on. "I chose
this show because the story was
fresh and well-written.
"I've had many offers to per
form on TV, even for a regular
series. But I don't believe any
one in movies should have a
weekly show. It's not good for
them. And I refused to travel
Three Arrested
Qn Assault Charge
Three Medford men were ar

battery on a citizen's complaint
signed by Loa M. Burns, 372
Garfield st., after they were in

New Pastime Tavern, 2742 North

yesterday, according to city

Police said the men, Robert

the guest star circuit. No one
can do his best that many times
a year.
Extensive Preparation Needed
"It takes me about five weeks
to formulate ideas for dance rou
tines, to rehearse and film them.
That kind of schedule is finan
cially unrealistic and impractical
for television.
"If I can't dance my best,
I'd rather not dance at all."
Astaire pointed out TV has
yet to produce a genuine dance
star.
"That's because a dancer can
not appear frequently enough
and still hold an audience's at
tention. I've seen a lot of danc
ing on TV, especially chorus
work, and I think they do quite
well," he said.
'Someday I hope to dance on
TV. An hour-long show, or a
few half-hour things might be
nice with nothing but dancing.
But I would want them well
spaced with plenty of time for
rehearsal."

Feeding the Family
By ZOIA VINCENT
Food Editor
Vegetable Garnishes
During the holiday season
with so much emphasis on heavi
er, richer foods, the wise home-
maker will keep in mind the
important healthgiving values
of fresh vegetables. A wonderful
way to have quantities of same
consumed is to fix a tray of col
orful, crisp, fresh vegetable gar
nishes and have it available for
family to munch on before as
well as during lunch or dinner.
If you've never done this, we
think the childrens' enthusiasm
will surprise you.
For party service we arrange
the vegetables on a bed of crack
ed ice.
Carrot Curls. Scrub carrots
and' cut into very thin slices
lengthwise with vegetable parer.
Roll each slice up tightly and
fasten with toothpicks. Chill in
bowl of crushed ice several
hours or overnight. Remove
toothpicks. Slices will remain
curled.
Cucumber Scallops. Score out
side of washed cucumbers by
running tines of fork down the
cucumber lengthwise. Slice thin
and crisp on ice.
Radish Roses. Trim stem down
to one inch. Cut off root end.
With tip of sharp knife cut just
through outside red skin down
from root end toward stem in
4 or 5 sections to form petals.
Chill on ice and watch them curl.
Celery Frills. Cut cleaned
stalks of celery into 2 or 3-inch
pieces. Cut into thin strips
lengthwise but not all the way
down. Leave them connected at
the bottom. A variation of this
is to slit celery pieces from both
ends, leaving a half-inch uncut
portion in the middle. Chill on
crushed ice until they curl.
Radish Fans. Trim off root
end and leave one inch stem.
Starting on one side, cut thin
even slices toward stem end, but
not cutting all the way through.
Chill on. crushed ice to make
fans open.
Green peppers cut in thin cres
cent shaped slivers are especial
ly attractive if the green peppers
are tinged with red.
Cauliflowerettes are made by
simply soaking uncooked cauli
flower in salted cold water for
a few minutes, in order to re
move any unnecessary insect
life, then break it into tiny bite
size flowerettes.
Cabbage wedges cut from
small solid heads of cabbage are
a great favorite of children.
Keep wedges small and include
a bit of the heart to hold them
together.
Glorified Ham
Chances are that sometime
during the holidays most home-
makers will serve a georgeously
decorated ham to friends and
relatives. Your leftovers will
become planned - overs if you
have a couple of dishes like
these to look forward to.
Tasty brown ham patties will
go a long way towards popular
izing planned-over ham.
Combine three cups ground
ham with one - half cup dry
bread crumbs, one -fourth cup
milk, three-fourths cup chopped
celery, one beaten egg and a
dash of pepper. Shape mixture
into round flat patties, coat with
bread crumbs, then dip into mix
ture of one egg beaten with two
tablespoons water. Coat again
with bread crumbs. Cook patties
in small amount of fat until
well - browned on both sides.
Makes six patties.
Variations: Omit celery and
add one teaspoon each of minced
parsley and minced onion. OR
omit celery and add one - six
teenth teaspoon ground cloves
and one tablespoon brown sugar.
Ham Rarebit
This is ideal for serving over
hot fluffy rice, delicately brown
ed biscuits or toast points.
Melt one-fourth cup butter or
margarine; add one -fourth cup
flour and one - fourth teaspoon
dry mustard. Slowly stir in IVi
cups milk, one tablespoon Wor
cestershire sauce and one-fourth
pound grated cheddar cheese
(about one cup grated). Heat
slowly and stir until smooth
Add one cup cooked ham, diced,
and cook over low heat four to
five minutes longer. Garnish
finished product with parsley or
bits of pimiento for a gala look.
Ham Split Pea Soup. This fav
orite hearty soup is all too often
overlooked. When the favored
slices of .the whole or shank half
of ham are gone, cut the rest
of the good bits of ham from the
bone. Simmer ham bone 1V to
two hours in three quarts water
to which one teaspoon salt, one
fourth teaspooa pepper, one me
dium sized onion, sliced, and a
few pickling spices (optional)
have been added. Strain broth.
Cut any remaining meat from
bone. Add two cups split green
peas, scraps of ham from bone,
additional 1V4 cups cubed cook
ed ham, one carrot, cut. in small
pieces, one medium onion, diced.
Allow to simmer 40 to 45 min
utes or until soup has reached
the consistency you like. Add
additional salt to taste and more
water if necessary. Serve with
French bread and a green salad
for a completely satisfying meal.
Western Persimmons
Colorful, seasonal western per
simmons are a mild, sweet and
beautiful fruit ranging in color
from orangy-red to yellow. They
are quite unlike the small puck
ery persimmons native to the
eastern states.
Persimmons are simmilar .in
texture to fresh tomatoes and
about the same size. They are
an excellent source of vitamin A
and are at their best when
served fresh. Be sure they are
fully mature and ripe before
using in ways like these:
Dessert or Breakfast Fruit.
The refreshing flavor of per
simmons makes them a delight
ful dessert or breakfast . fruit.
Wash, chill, then place stem end
down on serving plate. Cut two
crosswise slashes in top of fruit
and eat the smooth pulp with a
spoon. Some people like a little
cream and perhaps a dash of
sugar.
Persimmon Salads. When us
ing in salads, do not peel per
simmons. Cut them in halves,
quarters, or in crosswise slices.
They go well with almost any
of the fall fruits and contrast
particularly well with grape
fruit and avocado. Serve with
favored French dressing.
Persimmon jam wilf make an
unusual and flavorsome Christ
mas rememberance. Choose per
simmons that are very, very
ripe. Press the fruit through a
strainer, food mill or colander.
Add an equal amount of sugar.
Cook over very low heat, stirring
constantly (or almost so), until
thickened. Keep under the boil
ing point or jam may become
bitter. Twenty to thirty minutes
should be sufficient time to
thicken the jam. Pour into steri
lized glasses and seal. Four cups
pulp yields about one quart jam.
Persimmon Pulp in Baking.
Persimmon pulp can be used
just like good-old applesauce to
give puddings, cakes and cookies
a moist rich texture and unusual
delicate flavor.
Walnut Finger Bits. Pacific
coast grown walnuts are in ex
cellent supply. Here's a simple,
but ever so good, salad accom
paniment starring chopped wal
nuts. Remove crusts from slices
of white bread. Cut into finger
strips then butter generously on
all sides and roll lightly in melt
ed butter. Roll in crushed or
finely chopped walnut meats.
Chill before serving.

SEATO May Invite
Nations to Join
Baguio City, Philippines (IP)
The Southeast Asian Treaty Or
ganization (SATO) may invite
Nationalist China, Japan and
Malaya to join the defense al
liance, it was reported here to
day. A four-day SEATO conference
on Communist subversion closed
here on a note of optimism that
the eight-nation defense alliance
could smash Communist subver
sion or actual aggression in
force in the treaty area.
It was learned that recommen
dations might be made to the
member nations that Nationalist
China, Japan and Malaya and
possibly the Republic of Korea
be invited to participate in
the anti-Communist alliance.
The conference was backed
by a declaration by U. S. De
legate Adm. Arthur Radford that
the U.S. had collected defense
agreements.
The conference described
Communist ' subversion through
its intellectual, economic, psycho
logical and cultural phases as
more dangerous at the present
time than the open aggression"
in the classical sense.
Quotes From the Mews

Dallas, Tex. Senate Majority Leader Lyndon B. Johnson:
"There is nothing our defense program needs so badly as a
strong dose of urgency. . . . We are strong in weapons of the past.
The Soviets are strong in weapons of the future."
Pittsburgh Dr. Lyman V. Ginger, president of the National
Education association, on the Russian educational system which
he says feature small classes and well-trained and well-paid teach

have advocated the same thing for years and now they have put
them to use with success."
Hartshorne, Okla. Warren Spahn, 36-year-old pitcher of the
world champion Milwaukee Braves on receiving the Cy Young

til they take the ball away from me."
Washington Presidential Press Secretary James C. Hagerty.

the government, that is up to. the President and the President
alone."

Portland Man Greets Wife on Thanksgiving
Portland (IP) Thanksgiving
day was wonderful for Mr. and
Mrs. Christ Lafa'zanoff. They
were united here Thursday for
the first time since 1939.
Lena Lafazanoff was greeted
at the Portland International
Airport for the happy reunion.
When Lafazanoff left Bulgaria
in 1939, he expected to send for
his wife soon. But World War
II intervened, and then further
delay resulted from Communist
domination of the country. Lafa
zanoff, a powder man in con
struction work, was naturalized
here in 1946.
And it was an even longer
time since Mrs. Lafazanoff had
seen her older brother, Thorp
E. Elieff, now of Portland. He,
alsjO, was at the airport to see
his sister for the first time in
half a century. Elieff left the
original family home, in Mace
donia, then under Turkish con
trol, in 1907.
The Lafazanoffs have two
grown sons still in Bulgaria.
