Four Ways to Healthful Living
1. Victory over inner conflicts, resentments, fears and worries.

4. By the direct touch of God's power. There is a new book that gives a

Markets Filled
With Many Fruits
For Yule Basket
Add avocados, persimmons
and pomegranates to traditional
holiday fruit baskets. They pro
vide taste and eye appeal and
can be used in desesrts or salads.
Seasonal supplies of these
special fruits are now on Oregon
markets, say home economists at
the local extension office and
Oregon State College. Quality
arid prices are generally very
good. To help homemakers get
acquainted with some of these
fruits, they offer these brief de
scriptions and uses.
Avocados are in season the
year round with peak supplies
beginning this month and con
tinuing through the winter.
Giant avocados are especially
good buys now, they state. Pro
ducers from California, the
country's largest avocado sup
plier, says the avocado crop is
better than during the past two
seasons. Good news to Oregon
homemakers, explain home econ
omists, as good supplies are
usually accompanied by reason
able prices.
To satisfy the sweet tooth,
persimmons are suggested. Per
simmons are about the size of
an apple and acorn shaped. They
range in color from yellow to
red and are usually seedless.
When buying persimmons,
homemakers are reminded to
choose fruit that has fresh look
ing pale green leaves. Skin
should not be broken or bruised.
Chill, peel and eat persim
mons plain or with a dash of
lime or lemon juice. They're
good in fruit and avocado sal
ads. Or use persimmon puree in
muffin or griddlecake batter.
Pomegranates resemble a
flattened orange in appearance.
The top of the fruit has a small
crown or petal-like projection.
Its tough, thin, leathery rind
may vary in color fr,om pale
yellow or red to purple. Buy
pomegranates that have thin,
tough rinds free from cracks
and with fresh looking crowns
Seeds should not be exposed.
Ruby red kernels of the pome'
granate brighten fruit cups, sal
ads, or desserts. One pomegran
ate has enough kernels, home
economists say, to garnish many
salads.
How To Store Cookies
Home economists of the Gas
Appliance Manufacturers' asso
ciation sayt here are two ways
to store Christmas cookies
and they are not interchange'
able. Crisp, delicate cookies like
spritz, butter or sugar cookies
should be stored in a can with
a loose cover in a cool place
(not the refrigerator). Cookies
Tich in fruit, like filled cook
ies and soft drop cookies, should
not bestored in an air-tight cov
ered earthen jar or can.
Perhaps the first monument
erected to a woman in the Unit
ed States honors Hannah Duston,
who was captured by Indians at
Haverhill, Mass., in 1697, the
National Geographic magazine
says. Hannah, another woman,
and a boy supposedly killed 10
Indians to make their escape.
The statue at Haverhill shows
Hannah with her tomahawk in
her hand.
Holiday Salad
The old-lace shade 'of fresh pears combined with the bril
liance of salad greens, sparkling persimmons and red grapes
make a pleasing appearance for a holiday salad. Fresh pears are
one of the best salad fruits, since their flavor compliments both
fruit and vegetables as well as seafood, fowl and meats. Dip
them in leifion juice as soon as you slice them and you can make
your salad in advance without harm to either the flavor or the
appearance of the pears.
For this salad use 1 or 2 ripe fresh Anjou, Cornice or Bosc
pears, 1 ripe persimmon, red grapes and endive or other salad
greens. Wash, core and slice pears into 8 slices each. Sprinkle
with lemon juice. Slice persimmon and arrange alternately with
pear slices on bed of endive. Add grapes, which have been
halved and seeded, saving a cluster or two for garnish. Fill other
half of salad platter with a tossed green salad. Serve with french
dressing. Serves six.

was "How Christmas is Celebrat
ed in Bohemia" and of their days
of cooking and baking before
hand. Miss Clair Hanley read an
explanation of the old fashioned
Christmas in the States. About
16 members were presentfor the
meeting. Mrs. R. T. Nichol and
Miss Hanley poured. A recipe
from Bohemia, handed down in
her family for many years, was
given to the group by Mrs. Os
trander. The recipe was for
kolachky cookies, made with 1
cup sifted flour, 1 cube butter
or margarine, 1 pkg. cream
cheese (3-oz.), cream shortening
and cheese together, work in the
flour. Roll out paper thin on
floured board. Cut into two inch
rounds. Spread with fruit jam
(takes a cup for this recipe), fold
edges of cookie in towards center
and press down so cookies won't
spread. Put on lightly greased
pan and sprinkle cookies with
sugar or poppy seed. Bake in
375 degree oven for 15 minutes.

Victor B. Should a 15-year-
old boy have to do housework?
Mrs. H.B. But we all hate
housework.
www
Victor B. I would like to
know if a 15-year-old body is
supposed to do housework like
washing, ironing or cooking.
My mother went to work rec
ently and she said we all have
to pitch in and help with the
housework. That "pitch in" stuff
is a big laugh. My 10-year-old sis
ter does practically nothing ex
cept dry the dishes and my fath
er does nothing except take out
the garbage. My mother expects
me to do things like peel pota
toes, put . the laundry in the
washer, iron all the handker
chiefs.
I never 'heard of any boy who
has to do jobs like that and I
know quite a few whose moth
ers are going to work. What a
life!
Mrs. H.B. Victor certainly
exaggerates the picture! Sure, I
asked him to peel potatoes
exactly once when I couldn't be
home in time. I may have asked
him to "cook" by putting a light
under something I had already
prepared. His sister is awkward
at these things.
I know these household de
tails are just awful, but they do
have 4 be done and our ex
penses now make it necessary
for me to work for a while. My
husband would be willing to
help more with the housework,
but his job is very exhausting
and he is too tired at night.
The trouble is that everyone
including me hates housework.
The Council: Mrs. H. B. has
put her finger right on the prob
lem "the trouble is that every
one including me hates house
work." Mrs. H. B. cannot expect any
member of the family to "pitch
in" with goodwill to do a job
acknowledged as detestable. The
children may have a strong urge
to cooperate and to please Moth
er, but it is inevitable for them
to want to pass the buck or to
perform their jobs with a chip
on their shoulder if they have
the feeling that both Mother and
Dad are trying to run put on
that very job.
Mrs. H. B. should recognize
that the first step in changing
Victor's attitude should be to
change her own attitude. Of
course there is drudgery in
housework as there is in any
kind of work. There is also a
creative side and a pleasantly
routine aspect to the work.
This entire family should
learn something about the fun
of cooking. Victor should do
more than peel potatoes or turn

the light on under an already
prepared dish. If he ever belong
ed to the Boy Scouts, he would
know that cooking can be a de
light and a privilege and sure
ly he knows that the armed
forces don't consider potato peel
ing as outside the realm of man's
work.
On the other hand, Victor's
sister is by no means too young
to handle her share of this work,
and his father may find such
work relaxing rather than tir
ing. Even routine jobs, like iron
ing can be pleasant if they are
done willingly. Routine physical
tasks often help the mind and
imagination to work better.
We don't blame Victor for re
senting drudgery. We do think
his whole family is missing a
great deal by not learning to
enjoy work.
