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.

Quotes From the News
By UNITED ' PRESS
Washington President Eisenhower, declaring Russia's attitude
has alternated between "threat and blandishment" while he re
mained ready to try to "reduce world tensions":
"To bring about such easing of tension, we believe that clear
evidence of Communist integrity and sincerity in negotiations
and in action is all that is required."
Washington Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, on why
he filled in Generalissimo Francisco Franco of Spain on the NATO
summit meeting:
"I felt that General Franco, by the contribution that his
government was making to the defense of Europe, had clearly
entitled himself to that kind of information."'
Taipeh, Formosa Mrs. Anna Chennault, 34-year-old second
Chinese wife of Maj. Gen. Claire L. Chennault of Flying Tiger
fame, denying her 67-year-old husband is dying ol cancer of the
lung:
"My husband definitely is not dying because of cancer. His case
is very hopeful. I'm sure they can do something for him."

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-

tain drinks, or smoke too much,
or smoke a certain type of tobac
co. 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.

Vhat Is The Law?
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.

increasing use of new types of
