New York IP Wh do we

"Well," said Bnflgi?, & te-
cause we are imperfect 1ri9ni?e

never be perfect, but w
on trying."
Bender, 53, an author, lectur

and industry, said the best way
to make resolutions is not once
a year, but once a day.

One of the younger tots unpacks the elec
tric razor daily and plugs the cord into the
wall socket. The older ones all professing
Christians, are yet in the grades and Hi
School. Evenings, after dinner, they romp.
Then comes Bible and prayer the older
ones also make their prayer. Their Dad, a
businessman, is just back from India where
he aids Missions. Their Mother keeps the
home-fires burning. Yes Bible and prayer
have a vital place in this family.

Auxiliary to Hold
District Session;
Project Reviewed
A district meeting of the
American Legion auxiliary will
be held Thursday, January 2, at
8 p.m. at Central Point Ameri
can Legion hall. Mrs. Anson In
gels, Portland, department pres
ident, will be speaker of the
evening.
Mrs. Charles Gettling, Ash
land, president of District 13,
will preside. Miss Laura York,
president of the Medford unit,
announces that all members of
the unit are asked to attend this
district session.
A new project this year for
auxiliary units in the Rogue val
ley was assisting with the gift
shop which the Oregon depart
ment of the auxiliary operated
at Camp White domiciilary. The
shop was similar to those oper
ated by the auxiliary in Port
land, Roseburg and other Vet
eran administration hospitals in
the United States.
Units all over the state sup
ply the many gifts each year
from which the patients choose
Christmas gifts for their fami
lies. The gifts are then wrapped
and mailed by the auxiliary
volunteer hospital workers. The
gift shops are a service supplied
to the veteran patients without
charge to them.
Volunteers participating in
the gift shop project at Camp
White this year were Ashland,
11; Grants Pass, 7; Central
Point, 5; Medford unit, six and
Medford post, 3.
These volunteers wrapped 367
gifts and assisted the domicili
ary members with gift selec
tions. Mrs. Earl B. Bigalow,
Mediord, department hospital
director, served as chairman.
Another Christmas activity at
the Camp White domiciliary in
which district volunteers assist
ed was the wrapping and distri
bution of gifts to the men. Each
domiciliary member received a
carton of cigarettes and a $1
canteen book from the Ameri
can Legion and the auxiliary,
Department of Oregon.

a flaming peach sundae. Top ice
cream with canned cling peach
slices and a sugar cube that's
been dipped in lemon extract.
Ignite the sugar just before serv

Meat balls with tomato sauce take on new interest and flavor
when made with cereal flakes and applesauce. This combination
makes a moist meat ball with an unusual flavor.
Busy homemakers will appreciate this recipe because it can be
prepared in the morning ready to be baked at dinner time. Pre
pare some instant mashed potatoes, . frozen green beans, and a
tossed salad and presto! a filling, satisfying main course for
dinner is ready in short order. For a quick and easy dessert serve
raisin oatmeal cookies with ice cream, instant pudding, or fruit.
Cookies, pie crusts, confections, muffins, breads, and main dishes
take on new interest and flavor when breakfast cereals are used
as an ingredient. But these are not the only advantages of using
breakfast cereals in recipes. Breakfast cereals make important
nutritional contributions of protein, the B-complex vitamins,
minerals, and food energy.

NEA Urges Broad Program
Federal SchooP Supporf
Washington, D. C. A broad,
long range four and a half bil
lion dollar program of federal
support for public schools is
urged by the National Education
Association (NEA), as -the main
plank in its 1958 legislative pro
posals for 'consideration by Con
gress. "Schools have been starved too
long," NEA Executive Secretary
William G. Carr sa'id, speaking
for the 703,000-member associa
tion. "The public schools are try
ing to defend our way of govern
ment and advance the well-being
of the nation, yet many people
don't want to give education the
necessary financial help."
Carr spoke at a press confer
ence at which the NEA's Legis
lative commission presented the
professional organization's legis
lative program for the second
session of the 85th Congress.
Commission chairman is Irving
F. Pearson, executive secretary
of the Illinois Education associa
tion. James L. McCaskill is ex
ecutive secretary of the com
mission which met with repre
sentatives from 46 states in Chi
cago last week to work out the
new proposals.
In stepping up its basic ap
proach to the problem of finan
cing public education, the Com
mission said a massive program
of federal financial support has
become a national necessity in
light of present world conditions.
McCaskill said, "schools now
need continuing federal support.
Teachers of America have a re
sponsibility to tell people the
truth about the needs of our
schools."
New Program
The new long range program
of almost five billion dollars con
trasts with the 300 million dollar
federal aid bill the NEA support
ed last year.
The commission's report,
which translates NEA policy into
an action program, urged "an
infusion of federal funds for ba
sic supporto f elementary and
secondary education," and that
federal funds should be appro
priated to the states for distribu
tion locally either for school con
struction or for supplementing
teacher salaries without regard
for subject matter taught.
Beginning federal contribu
tions of not less than $25 per
school age child were urged with
a steady increase to at least $100
a child in five ye?rs. The current
average overall expenditure per
school age child in the nation is
S332. McCaskill pointed out that
districts which have expended
strong local efforts in construc-

on the scheduled day, January
1. This being a holiday, the
meeting will be held one week
later, January 8, at the home
of Mrs. Mabel Stanley, Browns
boro, at 10:30 a.m.
This is the annual "open
meeting" and members are re-
minded to bring information on '
any lesson that has been given j
in which they are particularly j
interested.

man, for food information.
Omelet and Peach ' j
Chicago OP) To add taste to ;
that. tired and plain omelet, try;
a deviled ham-filled broiled j
peach as an accompaniment.
The deviled ham is mixed
with mayonnaise and spooned j

tion in recent years could prob
ably use larger proportions of
these funds to raise salaries.
Urge Scholarships
The new program also urged
20,000 undergraduate . scholar
ships the first year, growing to
80,000 in four years, and 5,000
graduate fellowships which
would be increased to 15,000
after three years. This broad
plan which , could begin quickly
at all levels, would cost about 40
million dollars, rising to 160 mil
lion annually.-
The commission also urged
strengthening all aspects of the
various state departments of edu
cation. "This will be one more
assurance that the instructional
program can't be dictated to
states and communities from any
higher level," McCaskill said.
Continued support of the King
Jenkins Bill to provide tax equi
ty for teachers was also urged.
"There has always been an in
equity in the treatment of teachers'-
income taxes," McCaskill
said. "Teachers are spending
money to become better teach
ers. These educational expenses
should be deductible from gross
taxable income. Most . teachers
now cannot deduct these-expenses
and this is unjust. And
whereas improved educational
standards were a need before,
they now are a necessity."
The report also requested con
tinuation of federal assistance
"for such well - established and
clearly useful programs as voca
tional educaton, library services,
school lunches, and aid to federally-affected
areas. No consid
eration should be given to reduc
tion or termination of these pro
grams until it can be demonstra
ted that the need can be met
from other resources."
In pointing up the need for in
creased financial support, Mc
Caskill said, "The White House
Conference on Education and the
President's Committee on Edu
cation Beyond the High School
point out that within 15 years
educational expenditures must
be increased at least 75 per cent,
just to stay where we are now.
The number of teachers with
emergency certificates and the
number of children on half-day
sessions are not going down. We
know that enrollments are going
to continue to grow."
Carr added, "This legislative
program is the minimum safe
level of federal action, provided
that it is accompanied by steady
and normal growth in state and
local school revenues."
The new proposals urge
"matching requirements and oth
er measures to stimulate state
and local effort" which would
allow states sufficient time to
increase their own spending for
education.
A little instant minced onion
added to the milk for scrambled
eggs gives delicious flavor. This
convenient moisture-free onion
is always mild and sweet enough
for delicately flavored foods.

Learn How To Freeze Meat
Chicago (IP) Supermarkets
and meat packing industries
have solved one of Mrs. Home
makers' biggest problems how
to freeze meats correctly.
Experts in the meat field have

to prepare meat for freezing,
storing and cooking. It also tells
which meats can be frozen and
how long they should be stored.
