Lenten Season Only Three Days; Now 40 By JEANNE LESEM ".United Press Correspondent : New York (IP) Meal planning for the first Lenten season, around 325 A.D., was a cinch compared with mod tm times. Only three days' meals had to be worked out Instead of the present 40. - Cooking was simpler, too, If fish were the meat substi tute chosen for a day of fast ing and abstinence, a cook 3ust grilled it directly over hot coals without benefit of ?ancy kitchen equipment. ; You can still serve grilled fish for Lent but tradition and a wider variety of meat Substitutes now provide a much more varied menu for his important event of the Christian calendar. ; Fish and seafood are by no means obligatory, although Jfovernisent figures indicate lhat we eat more fish at Lent lhan at any other time of the ear. According to Roman Cath clic church law, Lent is a 40- day period or mortification leading up to Easter, the jnain feast day of the Christ Ian calendar, and the day that commemorates the Resurrec lion. Originally Three Days The food rules during Lent are simply a means of show ing penance for sins by fast ing every day and abstaining Irom meat upon certain days f the period. ; A fast day, church law says, may have only one Jarge meal instead of the pustomary two large and one Small. And, only at the large fneal is meat to be eaten. I Lent originally lasted only Ihree days. But late in the Sixth century, it was extend ed to 36 days and, in the jeventh century to the 40 Bow observed. Z As it grew in length, Bomemakers and home econ omists developed new recipes without using meat or meat products. The popular Lenten dish MAIL TRIBUNE Kids Love Chemise Br GAY PAULEY Unitad Press Women's Editor New York (W The che mise reigns today as the num ber one silhouette for the younger 'set. -1 "It's the right shape for kids. Shapeless," said Stanley Love, general sales manager for Joseph Love, Inc., one of the largest manufacturers of girls' wear from tots to early teens. "They love the chemise," he said. "Kids can wiggle un derneath . . . and they were born to wiggle. This is the most important change in children's fashions in the last five years . . . since the long torso came in." Surprising Development The children's wear indus try seemed astounded at the immediate success of a fash ion which mamma also is just getting into. "Children's fashion trends usually trail a year behind adults," said Mrs. Albert Kon heim, president of Connie Sade, Inc., which outfits girls 11 through 13. Some manufacturers o f girls' wear showed the un adulterated, or maybe should say unbelted, chemise Others, such as Connie Sage and Yolande Corp. break its severe lines with two-piece effects or actual two-piecers. Sage is shipping belts with its pure chemises, just in case. Yolande said its biggest sel ler for spring is a Combo, with Navy cotton broadcloth skirt, narrow-pleated, with a blue- and white overblouse of cotton duck. "There's hardly such a thing as a waistline any more, said Love, which has 40 to 50 variations of the chemise. The chemise Is number one, but not the only silhou ette around for spring. There are still some dressy nylon, silk and organdy frocks with full skirts and big sashes. Other trends manufactur ers report for spring: Apricot and turquoise have edged out the pale pinks and blues in many collections. A departure from the coat and dress combination, re placed by sleeveless dress with pleated skirt and cardi gan jacket. Dinner to Honor Charles Stelle Members and friends of Medford chapter, Oregon School Employees' association, will honor Charles Stelle at a dinner, Saturday, February 22, at 6:30 p.m. in the cafe teria of McLoughlin Junior High school. The occasion is the retirement of Mr. Steele March 1 from his work as chief custodian of McLoughlin school. He has been employed by the Medford public schools for the past 17 years. Originally es of this country appear ov er and over again in a wide selection of cookbooks on our shelves. Fish and seafood casseroles, croquettes, and broiled, baked and fried fish recipes are within easy reach along with macaroni and the spaghetti favorites and many egg dishes But a European nation that was observing Lent long before Christians set foot in the New World has few such cooking guides as ours on hand. In that nation Spain the housewives learn cook ing from their mothers, said Senora Luis Bolin, whose hus band is information counselor for the Spanish embassy in Washington, D.C Arrox Each province has its own special dishes, she explained, and even the better-known national dishes are prepared differently in each section. One Spanish favorite is ar- roz which usually is made with chicken or pork. But for Lent, a Spanish cook simply substitutes fish and seafood in this hearty rice casserole Senora Bolin has worked out her own version, using ingredients you'll find in most grocery stores. Her arroz a la marinera is made by sauteing 1 large on ion, sliced; 1 clove garlic, crushed: and i cup chopped parsley in Vi cup olive oil. When onion is soft and yel low, add 1 pound of fish (had dock, halibut or cod) cut in serving pieces. Saute fish until lightly col lored, add 3 frozen rock lob ster tails that have been cut in thirds, and cook 1 minute. Add one 8-ounce can minced clams with juice, one 1-pound can tomatoes, 1 teaspoon salt, a pinch of saffron, 1 cup un cooked long grain rice and 1 cup water. Cover, bring to boil and simmer gently for 25 min utes until rice is fluffy and liquid is absorbed. Serves 6.

"Messing Around" Play Said Valuable Champaign, 111. (IP) Don't clamp down so hard on pre school youngsters around the house, a University of Illinois child development specialist warns. The "messing" of a child playing with colors and paints, scribbling with a pen cil is the way he will learn to express himself freely, Mil- Iicent Martin said. Just keep the "messing" off the wallpaper and the linens, she said, and both par ents and child will benefit. The random scribbles are the way a child starts a most im portant learning process. Such activities should be encouraged, Mrs. Martin said, with a supply of art mate rials and appreciation for be ginners efforts. Chicago (IP) Stuffed breast of lamb can be a wel come change for a Sunday dinner.

Ad vised On Scholarship 'Shopping7 By GAY PAULEY United Press Women'a Editor New York (IP) Now's the time to shop for a scholar ship, if you're a high school senior planning to go on to college. . .. Get the bid in early, ad vises the National Youth Scholarship fund, which said each year about 65 million idollars in scholarships are available. Many of them are standard types, usually given where there is financial need ; or to encourage study of a ! specific subject. But there are some off-beat ones the . average teen-ager never hears about. For instance if you are a girl who doesn't smoke, you are eligible for a Harriet Rogers Jewett Scholarship at Pembroke college, . Provi dence, R.I. The fund,' which research ed some of the more unusual scholarships, said apparently the donor considered smoking an unladylike habit. If you are a boy and your name is De Forest, you are eligible for a $1,000 scholar ship to Yale university. Driver's Son Is Eligible A cab driver's son is eligible for a Daniel G. Arnstein scholarship which pays full expenses for four years at any college, including travel, clothing and spending money. Arnstein is the owner of a fleet of New York taxicabs. Some of the off-beat scholar ships result from the desire of Actress Believes Romance Is Key To Youthfulness Chicago (IP) Actress Glo ria Swanson, a glamorous 58, gives alfalfa sprouts their due as an aid to youth, but says they are a poor substi tute for romance. Here to publicize her "For ever Young" fashions firm, Miss Swanson told a news conference Thursday "ro mance is the most important element ' of all" in staying young. She added, regretful ly, that she has none at the moment. And having none, she went on, she's had to fall back on alfalfa sprouts, salad, yogurt and milk, "my favorite meal," to keep her youthful appear ance. The silent screen star rules out of her diet "anything with female hormones or antibi otics," chemicals, or foods that have been sprayed with DDT. The actress, wearing a black velvet sack dress, cut high in- front and waist-deep in back, and a hat to match, refused to discuss diets favor ed by other American wom en. "Nobody really knows what garbage goes inside them," she said. She defended her state ments of several years ago, expressing a preference for the continental type. "I still think that European men are better lovers, hus bands and fathers than Ameri can men. "Men in Europe like wom en with something in their heads. Man's Viewpoint Should Be Target For Advertisers Chicago (IP) Advertisers are advised to slant their sell ing back to the man's view point. One of the nation's chief food brokers, Paul Sayres, of Mount Vernon, N.Y., said a re cent survey by his firm indi cated that advertising has con centrated on the woman's viewpoint too long. He said although the lady of the house does most of the spending, the wishes of the man- around-the-house are re spected, especially in the mat ter of food buying. The survey showed men also do a lot of the food buy ing. Four out of every 10 su permarket baskets are pushed by men, and Sayres thinks that with a national food bill of 45 billion dollars a year, admen are just not efficient if they don't make a pitch to the male customer. Chicago (IP) Eggs and beans combine for a supper time delight. With scrambled eggs and sausages, serve a tossed combination of hot but tered beans with garlic-flavored croutons. A sprinkling of grated cheese, preferably a sharp variety, will further flavor the bean dish. DAIRY the wealthy donor to see that children from a certain area get first chance. That's the only reason the fund can figure for one Harvard scho larship, available if your name is Anderson, Baxendale, Borden, Bright, Downer, Ha ven, Murphy or Pennoyer, and if you are an Iowan liv ing along the Chicago, Burl ington and Quincy railroad. If you hanker to become a movie queen, there's a SI, 000 Katherine Hepburn scholar ship from Bryn Mawr college, Bryn Mawr, Pa. You don't even need top marks to apply-for one of 35 scholarships in the A. W. Mellon Fund at Carnegie In stitute of Technology. All you have to show is that part-time work or extra-curricular ac tivities made a dent in your grades. There are scholarships for caddies, for orphans, news boys and physician's children. Sets Up Fund An Eagle Scout has a special scholarship at Prince ton university. It was set up by a St. Louis banker who is active in the Boy Scout move ment. And if by chance your father is a biscuit maker in New York, you are eligible for a four-year scholarship sponsored by the Biscuit and Crackers Workers Local 405. "But most scholarships call for a 'B' or better average," said Kenneth B. Hawthorne, director of the scholarship fund. "Plus, a good record of extra-curricular activities, and occasionally some special talent or qualification . . . "There are enough scholar ships to warrant a serious sur vey ... by any student who needs financial help to con tinue his education," he said.

Phone SP 2-6295 (this advertisement courtesy of COPCO) Women Demand Drip Dry Even in Expensive Frocks By GAY PAULEY United Press Women's Editor New York (IP) - Around Manhattan: The phrase "drip dry" crops up as often as the word "c h e mise" in fash i o n show rooms these days. It's the term the gar ment industry uses to de scribe cottons, synthetics, or c o mbinations Gay Pauley of the two treated so that little or no ironing is needed. Apparently some customers want a dress to drip dry even though they can afford to wear the garment once and throw it away. The other day when David Crystal, Inc., showed its sum mer collection to fashion re porters, one of the firm's West Coast representatives told this story: Salesman Chip Reiger said he was in the custom salon of I. Magnin, a classy San Francisco shop, when a wom an came in to ask the price of a nylon and cotton party dress displayed in a store window. A salesgirl checked and an swered, "two-hundred and 85 dollars." "Will it drip dry?" asked the customer. I would have thought this story the product of a gag writer, if I had not been on a Madison avenue bus when it happened. A woman and two girls one about 10, the other a little younger board ed the crowded vehicle. The woman started to pay two fares when the driver pointed out, "there's three of yuh." "I know," she said, "but don't children under five ride free?" The driver agreed they did, and took the two fares. Just as the woman sat down, the older child in a voice heard the length and breadth of the bus said, "but mom- COME IN AND m LDO CGOCLXLXB11 0 032 ANY EVENING BY APPOINTMENT i id the Moon! Missiles my, you know that Janey is more than five years old." Passengers roared with laughter, a flustered mother said nothing, and the driver only commented: "Lady, when you want to show off, they won't say nuttin', will they?" ? He didn't collect the third fare. A new report from the U.S. Labor department gives latest statistics on achievements of women. The study, called "Spotlight on Women in the United States," shows 22 million fe males working, to make up one third of the labor force. Top job category: The white collar girl. The report, compiled by the Women's Bureau, showed six million women hold jobs as secretaries, stenographers and typists or in other clerical work. Next largest group, about three million, are fac tory workers. The report credited women with casting half the votes in the last presidential elec tion. "In the course of 10 presidential elections, women have achieved a power at the polls equal to that of men, whose voting history covers 43 presidential elections," the report said. Women slightly outnumber men as stockholders, although men own a majority of the shares. Two-thirds of the women shareholders are housewives and non-employed women.
