MAIL TRIBUNE sus Sets Up Search Section U. X census records are an accepted source for proof of age for many older persons who have never possessed a birth certificate. Some 3,500, 000 transcripts of personal census records have been furn ished to applicants since the social security act was ap proved in 1935. Persons in need of their census record can obtain an age search application form by writing the bureau of the census, Washington 25, D. C. A $3 fee pays for a search. The age search section is self - supporting by fees charged for searching the records. Milk and Meat Vote.d Best Buys By Homemakers Washington, D.C. What foods do America's iebst-con- scious homemakers choose most often to stretch their family food dollar? A recent nationwide food survey shows that, in the opin ion of homemakers, milk and meat head their list of foods that give the most value for their money. Thirty-two per cent of the homemakers rated milk as their No. 1 food buy because of its combination of high nutritive values and com paratively low cost. Meat was named as the best food by 24 per cent of the womenfolk, while 14 per cent of the ladies chose bread. The opinion survey was con ducted for the Milk Industry Foundation (an international association of milk processors and distributors headquarters in Washington, D. C.) by the Opinion Research corporation of Princeton, N. J. The survey also showed that farm families drink more milk than any other U. S. group. They average 11 quarts a week, while people in cities of more than 100,000 popula tion averaged nine quarts a week. Milk drinking also, na turally, is greater among fami lies living in the North Cen tral U. S. near the dairy land states of Wisconsin and Minnesota. Young families and families whose income exceed $5,000 per year also drink more milk than the av erage. And, curiously, people who have milk delivered to their doorsteps drink more than people who buy milk at the store (10 quarts a week versus six, on the average). Most people (50 per cent) buy all their milk at the store; 38 per cent buy from their home delivery salesman. More than half (55 per cent) of America's homemakers and their husbands also say that the price of milk is reason able. Only 33 per cent said milk prices are too high, but only half of this group said they are really concerned about the price. The U. S. public underesti mates the price paid to farm ers for a quart of milk, it was reported in the survey. Forty two per cent of those inter viewed estimated the farmer's share of a 25-cent quart of milk to be 10 cents or less, while 47 per cent have no idea. A recent study of milk distribution costs by an Indi ana University professor showed that farmers got 50 cents of the milk sales income dollar received by . fluid milk dealers, or more than 12 cents a quart, in 1956. Milk dealers spent about 12 cents for pro cessing and distributing a quart of milk and kept slight ly more than one-half a cent per quart for profit.

Regular $47.95 to $52.95 Value 45 Piece Sets 5)98 If Limited Stock Coma Early or Phone SP 2-9331 or SP 2-4089 Monday, January 6, 1958 Forecast Issued On Styles By GAY PAULEY United Pre Women' Editor New York OB Thirty top New York designers today is sued their "watch for" fore cast for spring and summer. My own observation is "watch out." A season of sex less fashions is with us. Sure, for you men, there will be more feminine gams displayed, because skirts are shorter than in many a sea son, ranging 16 to 17 inchess from the floor. But any male watching for the demise of the chemise, or gunnysack sil houette, is in for a disappoint ment. The sack will continue its, loose ways right into spring. The only curves left, with few exceptions, are for evening. Intricate As Sputnik "Loose fitting slimness," said the designers and manu facturers of their daytime fashions. "But don't call it a 1920's revival. This one is strictly 1958, with hidden con struction as intricate in its way as the mechanism of the rocket." "And let's faceit," our fore casters continued, "such psy chology now propels fash ions." Today was the first day of week-long previews of the new collections for benefit of 200 fashion and women's page editors, radio and television commentators. The shows are held semi-annually by the couture group of the New York Dress Institute. Fit for Any Figure The designers do promise enough variety in the loose fitting but streamlined silhou ette to fit any figure type. To minimize hips, they offered width at the top of the body in the form of gathered back yokes, full sleeves, school-girl collars, high cowl necklines, and bloused tops. Hemline flares and tiers will be kind to not-so-slim legs. Some other highlights from the "watch for" forecast: A loose silhouette in suits, with skirts either slim or straight, or full and pleated, many of the jackets with lea ther belts; Continued popularity for the three-quarter length coat, often in loud patterned fab rics of spongy, loose-textured fabrics; A subtle, but , definite widening of the shoulders, with padding showing in some collections, and deep armhole and dramatic, wide collars in others. Cardigans Have Lady-Like Look By United Press The Henry Hiezins cardi gan, which Rex Harrison popularized in the Broadway play, "My Fair Lady," gets a new lady-like look for spring. Women's Wear daily, a trade publication, says the sweater will keep its low pockets and v-neck. but will be shorter and have new three-quarter length raglan sleeves. Decorated Tumblers Good for Parties Kiddies seem to have as much fun preparing for a children's party as at the party itself. -So, mothers, why not give them the chance to turn ordinary drinking tum blers into comic characters that dress up the party table. It just takes paste, colored paper, and imagination. First paste a bright paper completely around the tum bler, then use contrasting pa per for cut-outs of comic eyes, elephant ears, walrus mus taches, or bushy eyebrows. After the party, the decora tions can be removed by soak ing the glasses in hot soap or detergent suds. Health Unit Gold Hill Gold Hill Health unit will hold its first meeting of the new year Tues day, January 7, at 1 p.m. Mrs. E. C. Hoffman will be hostess for the group at her home on Pacific Highway 99 North, Gold Hill. Co-hostesses will be Mrs. Roy Cameron and Mrs. Iola Beeman. Poet Carl Sandburg Berates Youth, Poetry, Flat Rock, N.C. (W Poet Carl Sandburg, who will ob serve his 80th birthday Mon day, took the ocasion today to berate modern youth, mod ern poetry, modern advertis ing and old-fashioned fear of death. Of youth, the white-maned biographer of Lincoln said: "Never has a generation . . . been told by a more elab orate system in the printed word, billboards, newspapers, magazines, radio, television to eat more, play more, have more fun." He quoted Gen. Robert E. Lee as telling a mother with a child in her arms, "teach him to deny himself." "What ever Lee meant by that is a teaching almost never heard. The young don't hear it," he said. On poetry, Sandburg said, "the modern poets prefer to write about people like John Donne, Dante and Henry James. Lincoln, Wash ington, Jackson, Jefferson, Franklin, the sublime Ameri can figures no." He said, "when I published my Chicago poems they (the critics) said if Dante and Mil ton had a right to write about hell when they had never been there, why hadn't I the right to write about Chicago where I had been." Department of Su rveys 1958 By JEANNE LESEM United Press Correspondent New York (IP) A chick en in every pot and a great er variety of frozen food on our dinner tables this is the market basket outlook for 1958. The U.S. Department of Ag riculture predicts we'll eat a record amount of chicken during the new year, partic- ulary in broiler size. The USDA added that re tail prices possibly will V a little higher than they were in 1957. Some price increases, the department explained, will be caused by a strong con sumer demand for such foods as beef and eggs, which are expected to be in somewhat shorter supply. Marketing charges are also expected to rise slightly, the department added, causing some price in creases at the retail level. Catholic Sister Has Army Grant To Do Research Washington PI Sister Mary Howard of Notre Dame probably is the only nun in the world doing physics re search under a grant from the Army. She is one of a small group of students trying to unlock the mystery of the molecular structure of liquids. The stu dents are at work in a base ment laboratory at Catholic University here. Associate professor Theodore A. .Lit ovitz is heading the project financed by a grant from the Army's office of ordinance re search to carry on the project. "We know the pattern of the molecules in solids is reg ular," Sister Mary Howard explained. "The molecules in the gases have no arrange ment at all. When it comes to defining their arrangement in liquids, science can say almost nothing definitely." The sister and her co-workers hope to "fingerprint" the mysterious molecules by pas sing ultrasonic waves through various liquids. Sister Mary Howard, a na tive of Cleveland, will receive her doctorate in physics this year. She then will head the physics department at Notre Dame College in Cleveland. Midwest Can Center St. Paul (IP) Midwestern ers are the most enthusiastic home canners and freezers in the nation. A survey by the U. S. Department of Agricul ture showed that about 55 per cent of the housewives in the Midwest do some canning or jelly making, and 20 per cent do some freezing. The national average is 44 and 18 per cent, respectively. o Tickled Pink o Heavenly Days Sherwood Rose-A-Day MEDFORD. OREGON Advertising In a barb at advertising. Sandburg said he has writ ten a new poem called "In structions for the tomb of George Washington Hill." He said over the tomb they could carve the words of the poem, "irritate 'em, irritate 'em, irritate 'em they can forget the irritation and re member the name of your product." As for death. Sandburg said he believes "there's health in nonsense of a certain kind." He said he liked to remem ber a passage from the jour nal of Ralph Waldo Emerson "when (Emerson) records the fact that brother Charles . . . went away. Emerson wrote, 'they took Charles away un der restraint. They say it is a taint in the blood but I have no fear because I have an element of silliness in me.' " Sandburg, who was born in Galesburg, 111., January 6, 1878, came to Flat Rock in 1945 and bought the estate of the late treasurer of the confederacy, Christopher G. Memminger. The handsome ante-bellum home in which he lives is called "Connema ra." He writes here, breeds goats, and sings . mountain ballads accompanying him self on a guitar. Agriculture Food Picture More Turkey As for specific food items: Pork supplies are expected to be larger, and beef and veal supplies smaller. If you like turkey as a year round food as well as a spec ial holiday treat, your chances will come in 1958. Turkey consumption is expected to be second only to this year's rec ord high, the USDA said. Although chicken prices will probably go no higher than at present, eggs will cost more, the department fore cast, and even though high er milk production is fore seen retail prices of milk and dairy products are ex pected to show little change. Fruits and vegetables will be plentiful during the winter and spring, the department added, and apples, oranges and grapefruit should be in even greater supply than they were during the same period last year. In the food freezer depart ment, the Grocery Manufac turers association predicts more new soups, desserts and meats, plus a bigger selection of heat-and-eat plate dinners. More Self-Service Association President Paul Willis also forecast continu ing improvements in the qual ity of packaged products. "Manufacturers haven't al together realized that the lit tle woman counts the num ber of pieces of beef in a can of beef stew," he said. "But management is becoming much more sensitive to con sumer desires and reactions. They're trying to find out what the housewife wants for her family." Willis declined tot estimate how much the number of su per markets could grow in 1958. "The trend is, of course, to ward more and more self service," he said, and he sug gested that there was room for improvement in store communication for customers. He recommended a hostess or information desk to direct shoppers, and a suggestion box for both satisfied and dis satisfied customers.

Individual, Group Ownership Problems Hard for Children Iowa City OP) Parents must help children distinguish between group and individual ownership and the different conditibns that govern each, according to Lloyd Lovell, as sistant professor at the Uni versity of Iowa. Lovell, head of the child welfare research station, said every child should be given as much choice as he can sensibly exercise over wheth er and on what conditions he will share his personal be longings. "Perhaps your youngsters, like ours, have tried to bring home 'their' share of park benches reasoning that if they belonged to everybody, they had a right bring their share home," Lovell said. , , Apples and Cereal Good For Breakfast New York (IP) Want a hearty breakfast menu?

Vorking Wives Keep House in Good Order According to Survey Moscow. Idaho (IP) Dr. Ruth R. Honey, a University of Idaho alumnus doing re search on home and family life, reports that little differ ence was found in the appear ance of homes of employed ox non-employed wives. Of course, she pointed out, working wives have a major advantage. Their children, if any, average older. Further more, she found that working wives use many shortcuts, such as eliminating the iron ing of sheets. Working wives not only speed up work as soon as they hit the front door of their homes, she said, but also speed up assistance from their husbands. Dr. Honey observed that there are few twinges of con science among city wives about having their husbands help with the housework. On the other hand, she added, "the farm wife didn't seem to feel it was right to ask her husband to help in the house." 4 , If cheese becomes dry, soak it in buttermilk.
