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.

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.
'Thirty-three per cent of all
childhood home poisoning cases

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.
