o o Blind Homemakers To Be Aided By Talking Records Minneapolis Homemaking re sponsibilities of the nation's blind homemakers are being eased by a second set of talking records on food preparation which Betty Crocker has made available. Did vou ever pause to realize a simple way to separate an egg is to break the eeg into your cupped hand and let the white slide down between your fingers into a bowl? This interesting tip, highly valuable to the blind homemaker who must call upon her in genuity in every kitchen turn, and hundreds of other valuable suggestions are included in the new set of tips and talking recipes on records which the blind and partially seeing may obtain by sending 10 cents with each request to Betty Crocker at General Mills, Dept. 920, Min neapolis, Minn. When frying eggs, use a tuna fish can with both ends removed. Grease Inside of can and place In a greased frying pan," says Betty Crocker. "Break egg into a cup, season according to taste, then slip it inside the can. Cover pan and allow to cook. Lift out with a pancake turner (can and all). Slide onto plate and lift off the can." Last year, more than 4,000 sets of talking records on the use of packaged mixes were dis tributed to blind homemakers from coast to coast in the initial release. This project brought General Mills the Silver Anvil award of the American Public Relations association. Testimonials from organiza tions for the blind and enthusi astic response from blind home makers everywhere prompted the company to develop this sec ond set of records, explained Helen Hallbert, assistant director of the General Mills home serv ice department. There are three records in the new set which, in addition to helpful tips in food preparation especially adapted to the blind, covers such recipe subjects as broiling, fried chicken, scalloped chicken, meat loaf, scalloped po tatoes, scalloped corn, baked squash, white sauce, gravy, bat ter bread, cakes, icings, apple pie and pumpkin pie. In developing these new rec ords, General Mills again re ceived much help from the Minneapolis Society for the Blind and from the American Founda ' tion for the Blind in New York. At the annual Christmas party for blind women at the Minne apolis Woman's club Dec. 16," a set of the talking records was presented as a gift to each blind homemaker in attendance. . ' 4 .

Estes Kefauver (D-Tenn.), attacking higher automobile prices and factory lay-offs at Christmas: "While consumer dollars are buying fewer .commodities to place under the Christmas tree, many thousands of auto workers will be thrown out of work during the holiday season." The Medical Roundup l(. tmeruus Consultant In Medlcln., Mayo Clinic Emeritus Professor of Medicine. Mayo Foundation AN ACID CONDITION One of the common ideas that laymen have in regard to their health is that sometimes their trouble is due to "an acid conditon of the body." This Idea is fostered by the adver tising copy of several propri e t a r y medi cines. I am not sure how - the Dr. Alvarez idea arose. I imagine it came because so many people suffer from heartburn, or what they call "acid stomach." Curiously, in hundreds of ttiese cases of acid stomach, when I passed a tube and measured the acidity of the gastric contents, I did not find any increase over the normal acidity. What was happening was that the acid juice, which cannot be felt in the stomach, was regurgitating into the gullet where it can sometimes be felt. It can be felt if the lining of the gullet has first been irritated in some way and thereby made extra sensi tive. Many women suffer greatly from regurgitation of acid gas tric contents into their gullet when they are pregnant. Some times the acid comes up into the back of the mouth and there in jures the enamel of the teeth. Many persons get an acid stom ach if they blow their top, or eat certain foods, or drink cer- Court Records DISTRICT COURT Martin Ramstead Budy, violation of basic rule, $9.

Occasionally, a sensitive per son will say, "At times my, skin feels as if it were soaking in vin egar!" But in none of these condi tions is there any demonstrable increase of acid in the body, and there is no scientific reason for the person's desire to "alkalize" himself. There is no sense in it even when he has a fever or a cold. Actually, when a person takes a large dose of some alkali, like baking soda, he does not alkalize himself. All he does is cut down a bit on what is called the acid reserve in the chemical buffers in the blood. There is a condition called acidosis, uv which the reserves of alkaline buffers in the blood have been lowered. But the blood must never become even slightly acid if, we are to stay alive. The blood must always be slightly alkaline if the thousands of chemical processes in our bodies are to keep going properly.

This column is prepared as a public service by the College of Law, Willamette University; Salem, to explain basic legal principles, not to provide legal advice. The reader is cautioned not to apply these cases to his own problems without an attorney's advice, for differing facts may change the outcome. LEGAL LIABILITY FOR ACTS OF CHILDREN Donny Smith and Billy Jones, six-year-old next-door-neighbors, surprised the milkman and his helper by tripping them on their way up the walk to deliver milk. Both men sustained cuts, bruises and broken bones. To Donny, this was old stuff. His parents had scolded him for doing the same thing to the post man, the grocery boy and the family minister. Billy, however, had never before done such a thing. He had always been a very considerate youngster. As a result of their surprise greeting, the milkman and his helper incurred considerable ex pense. Are the fathers, Mr. Smith and Mr. Jones responsible for such costs?, Parent Not Liable The usual position taken by the courts is that the parent is not liable for the wrongful acts of his children so long as he does not direct, encourage or profit from such misconduct. Louisiana law presents an exception. In some instances 'courts have stretched a point to find that a child who inflicts injury of this kind acted as his father's agent, thus making the father liable to the injured person. However, in examining this case more closely, it is clear that Mr. Smith had plenty of warning that his son might inflict injuries in such a manner. Donny had al ready compiled an impressive list of victims, for which his par ents had scolded him. Under such circumstances it is very probable that Mr. Smith would be liable for his own neg ligence in not warning others of his son's dangerous tendencies and in failing to exercise reason able control over his son for the protection of others. No Reason For Warping Mr. Jones, on the other hand, had no reason to warn others about his son or to take steps to prevent such behavior from re curring. He would therefore not be liable for this particular inci dent. Because the boys themselves are liable for their injurious acts, had these two minors been fi nancially independent, they would definitely have had to pay the damages. Unfortunately for i the milkman and his helper, Donny and Billy were very near ly penniless. QUEEN'S SURGEON DIES London OP) Sir Thomas Peel Dunhill, 81, extra surgeon to Qu,een Elizabeth II since 1952, died here today.
