DYKE'S FLOOnCOUEMUG 227 East 6th OPEN MONDAY NIGHTS Ceremonial Tea Provides Flavor For Ice Cream . New York (IP) East meets West happily in the latest ice cream flavor to be introduced to the American market. A cere monial tea, used in Japan for five centuries, is the flavoring for O-Cha (honorable tea) ice cream, introduced here at the third annual Japan Food show. Powdered green tea gives to mildly flavored vanilla ice cream a subtle, delicious taste without any of the bitterness associated with stronger teas. It will be available throughout the country shortly. To make O-Cha ice cream in your home refrigerator, simply sprinkle one teaspoon powdered green tea, or more to taste, over one quart slightly softened van illa ice cream. Stir until the ice cream is a rich even green and refreeze until solid. Another Oriental newcomer to American markets is the Kobu nut, a split peanut sandwiched with a rice paste filling. Kobu nuts are deliciously crisp, bland er and less oily than peanuts. Chemical Industry Gives Laundry Tips New York (IP) Time was when the words "blue' and "Mon day' almost automatically went together. But now, Monday is not necessarily either blue of'a long washday for homemakers. The chemical industry has changed all that with products, which if used properly, can re duce washday, the industry says, to an hour or so any day in the The experts say, first off, that most test-tube textiles can be washed in the machine just like other washables. Since better than 379-million pounds of man made fibers were produced in the United States last year, it stands to reason that a good por tion of the weekly wash will be made up of these materials. The chemists give these laun dry tips: Wash synthetic materials fre quently, but along with the oth er wash. Cut down the length of time you let your washing machine run when washing man-made materials. Too long a washing means dirt gets redistributed. Stop the machine before the spin cycle and lift out the Syn thetics which can drip dry. (It's the spinning and drawing out of the water that puts the wrinkles in the wrinkle resistant mater ial). Use a little water softener in the final rinse. This does a two way job, the experts say. It helps the rinsing and cuts down static on some of the synthetics. 1 FOR CHRISTMAS a g 5 Meeting Announced For Townsend Club Medford Townsend club will meet Wednesday to maoke ar rangements for the annual Christmas party December 18. The next fourth district coun cil meeting is to be held at the Central Point Townsend hall January 5 rather than in Med ford as formerly reported.

Medical Director Lists Safety Rules Los Angeles Nearly 1500 children are killed annually by poisoning from common house hold items and drugs, according to Dr. Albert H. Domm, medical director at the western home of fice of the Prudential Insurance company. "The only sure way to prevent poisoning is to place all poison ous household substances and medicines under lock and key," the medical director said. "This means cleaning fluid, cooking extracts, paint thinner, bleaches, kerosene, varnishes, shoe polish insecticides, furniture polish and many other toxic substances gen erally found under the kitchen sink, on shelves or in closets." Dr. Domm said that even ordi nary medicines, such as aspirin and laxatives, which are harm less when taken as directed, may become lethal potions for small children.

Women Pedestrians Said More Conscious Of Safety Than Men Norfolk, Va. (IP) Safety consultant George H. Elliott says women pedestrians are more safety-conscious than men. "Women walk to the corner and wait for. the proper light," said Elliott, who is with the Tidewater Automobile associa tion. He cited figures to show that three out of four persons killed as pedestrians last year were males. Elliott conceded that men do more walking and wear darker clothing which makes it more difficult for them to be seen by motorists. And he said seven out of 10 pedestrians who were killed last year had been drink ing. "Obviously most of the people walking home at night from pub lic drinking places are males," Elliott said. gestion of drugs generally found in the bathroom medicine chest," he said. "All medicines not -just the obviously poisonous ones should be kept under lock and key." To aid parents in conducting a househald safety check, many local health departments have available free of charge a home safety check list, he said.
