Sea Shells Are Business of New Yorker By LEROY POPE United Press Correspondent New York (UPD It hardly fits the old alliterative chant for a "he" to sell sea shells, but Crosby D. McArthur ha built a nationwide business upon them. He has run a sea shell shop here for eight years, catering to collectors all over the United States and in other countries. McArthur once was an an tiquarian. He owes his success in the sea shell business to his first wife, who started it in a small way years ago. She sold local shells to tourists at Passe-a-Grille, Fla. When the depression came the McArthurs left Florida for New York. He opened an antiques shop, and his wife, Christine, got a small conces sion in a Fifth avenue book store (Brentano's) to sell shells. She started collecting rarer shells, brilliantly colored, from Japan, Hawaii, the Phil ippines and the South Pacific. A S1.200 Item Finally McArthur decided to devote his full time to the business. Today, his shop is filled with shells from the four corners of the globe, from fresh and salt water But the shells must come from tropical and sub-tropical wa ters, he said. Cold waters pro duce almost no pretty shells. The shells values range from 10 cents a dozen to $50 each. In 1954, McArthur ob tained a Gloria Maris, a rare, brilliantly colored conical specimen, which was shaken off a deep water reef by an earthquake in the Philippines. He sold it for SI, 200 to a ma rine museum at Ft. Myers Fla. . Generally, collectors want small shells, he said. And the more brilliant the color, the more vauable they are. Inter ior decorators prefer the large, spectacular shells, he added. McArthur also is building up a business selling shells to industrial firms. The compa nies use the shells as promo tional souvenirs. For exam ple, he filled a large order for chambered nautilus shells when the atomic submarine, Nautilus, was launched. Fill cake pans, only half full for best baking results. tmCi UG OLD i av i Modern Farming Methods Advocated By By JEANNE LESMEN New York (UPD If modern farming methods are intro duced throughout the world, synthetic foods won't be need ed for at least another cen tury to help feed our fast growing world population. So says Lord John Boyd Orr, 78, first director-general of the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organiza tion and author of a new food book for children. Lord Boyd Orr wrote "The Wonderful World of , Food" (Doubleday) for the younger generation because they will have the responsibility of sav ing a large part of the world from starvation, he said in an interview. Women Always Helped Although it is written speci fically for children, and illus trated in terms a child of 10 can understand, it should be fascinating to anyone who likes to eat. For instance, homemakers learn that women always have Local Family Returns Home Three major events sched uled this year in "Alberta, Ca nada, were attended by the Victor Milneses recently dur ing their three week camping trip. Mr. and Mrs. Milnes and their children, Gregory and Nicki, attended the Calgary Stampede, Edmonton Exhibi tion, and Banff Indian Days during their vacation. While- in the area they also visited Jasper National park with a stop at Lake Louise and the Columbia Ice fields They re-entered the United States at Kingsgate and ret- turned to Medford by the way of Boise- Idaho. Many Pre-Mixed Foods Available By JEANNE LESEM United Press Correspondent Now York (UPD It's, a mixed-up, calorie - conscious food world and getting more so every year. The prevalence of pre mixed and low-calorie foods at the first all-food show here recently at New York's Coli seum leaves only one major problem for busy housewives: which products to buy to sat isfy the family's diverse tastes and diets. For those who are not weight - watchers, there are two fancy French sauces now available in powdered form: Hollandaise and Bernaise. Add water and butter or mar garine, stir and serve. The same company also offers a white cream sauce mix and two soup mixes, shrimp bisque and vichyssoise, a leek and potato soup. Only milk need be added to the soup mixes before serving. Spice Shelf One spice company has taken most of the work out of making dips by pre-mixing spices for use in sour cream blends or cottage cheese, ""he two new tangy mixtures are called angel dip and pms poppy seed dip. For the spice shelf, there also are dried powdered nran?( neel. fine for cake or candy decoration or in salads, and riowdered mushrooms. good for flavoring almost any course. Saffron, an expensive herb that used to lose strength and aroma in naDer packages, now is available in an aspirin-type metal box. Another new mix makes eight Scotch scones hot breads good for breakfast or tea-time. The weiaht-conscious who have been skipping the soup course excent for consomme and bouillon, may now try fnur new dietetic canned va rieties Thev are tomato with rice, cream of mushroom, veg etable and split pea. Rice and Peanuts OnoH news. too. for rice fanniers who are watching their waistlines. A new Ital ian imrjort. avorio rice, has only 22 calories to the ounce. The fast-erowing popular ity of Italian-style meals was ipparent in a big assortment of exhibits. - from flavored bread crumbs to pizza pie spice mix to an Italiano Buf fet cold cuts package, ine package contains four varie ties, including three, kinds of ham and wine-flavored sa lami. One of the biggest hits of the show, however, was a snack-tvDe food, dry-roasted peanuts, said 'to contain only calorie per peanut.

Stitch hear the 'edge of the fabric as a stay, then roil edge Deiween fingers and hand stitch. FAO Head played an important role in feeding expanded populations. The first women, writes Lord Boyd Orr," "probably invented cooking-pots and the potter's wheel for making them." And they probably invent ed the first primitive stone mills for making flour from the grain which their hus bands raised, he added. As early families gradually learned to raise larger crops and cook their food, the popu lation began to grow faster. Men became merchants, many of them dealing in food. They used a food, barley, as the first money. Sharing Needed This rapid population growth led to the . develop ment of all our modern sci ences and engineering. And has brought us to a world in which man has learned to make milk directly from grass itself, instead of relying on cows. But don't expect to buy this artificial dairy product any time soon at your local, gro cery store. It's still too expen sive to be practical, said Lord Boyd Orr. Besides, it doesn't taste good enough. Will we ever have to rely on such synthetic foods as this to keep from starving to death? Possibly, Lord Boyd Orr said, but not during the next few generations. Farming could feed three times the present, world population if the third of the world that has food surpluses shares its know-how with the two-thirds that's undernourished, he said. Too Many Jobs Means Trouble For Outdoor Cook By JEANNE LESEM United Press International New York (UPD An - Out door cook who tries to do too many jobs at onc is heading for more serious troubles than burned food, a safety ex pert advises. She's jeopardizing her own safety and that of her family if she fails to organize her work so that she can stick to her cooking while someone else minds the children and a third person keeps an eye on anything simmering back on the ranch-house stove in doors. As the nation heads into its biggest cook-out season ever, Mrs. Marjorie May of the Greater New York Safety council had these safety tips to offer for head chefs at back-yard grills and camp fires. Grease-free Grill Plan ahead. Choose a menu that will keep all the cooking outdoors, if you can't find someone to watch the pots in the kitchen. However, if you must sup plement the meal with food prepared inside, carry it to the serving area in containers small enough to be handled safely with one hand, espe cially if you have stairs en route. Hot foods should be cov ered tightly so they won't splash in transit. "Before you build a fire in your grill, make sure it's grease-f rep," warned. Mrs. May. "Many people tend to let the cleaning job go from one meal to the next, and it's this accumulated old grease that causes dangerous flare ups." 1 "And learn to build a fire properly without a starter," she suggested. "The Boy Scout manual is as good a teacher as you'll find." j Use Fire Extinguisher j The best cooking spot is a cleared area, she added, with no overhanging branches or bushes. Even then, Mrs. May said, it's a good idea to have handy a small fire extinguish er, a large box of salt, and a garden hose. But don't use the hose on a grease fire, be cause it might scatter the flames. If a grease flare-up is too big to smother with, salt or a tightly-fitted pot lid, use the fire extinguisher. Never use warped grills or pots and pans with warped or rounded bottoms, "the safety expert said. -r , Finally, when dinner's over, make doubly sure the fire is out. Dump ashes from the grill and soak them thorough ly with the hose. If you're camping and no water is handy, bury the fire com pletely so that a puff of wind can't fan a dying ember into flames again.

Lake 4 fiiS Come In ... or Call The YMCA-SP 2-6295 U.S. Singer in West Berlin Opera Said Discovery of Year Br JOSEPH FLEMING United . Press International Berlin (UPD An American girl barred from her Califor nia high school chorus be cause she had a "weak voice" has become the hit of the hard-to-please West Berlin Opera. Mary Gray has been hailed as the "discovery of the year" in a city where the people do not really believe that an American has a voice of grand opera caliber. For the 27-year-old lyric coloratura soprano, her tri umph in this tough school is a victory of voice over body. In tht United States Miss Gray was considered a pin up girl with a voice. Here she is thought of as a wonderful voice with a shape unusually attractive for an opera singer. Just 10 years ago she was modeling bathing suits in San Francisco's fashionable I. Mag nin department store. Now she is singing Gilda in "Rigo letto," Violetta in "La Travi ata," the countess in "Le Comte Ory" and . the Queen of the Night in "The Magic Flute." Critical audiences here have acclaimed her, and her per formances have been sellouts. She even has won over the poor music students who pay 37 cents for a seat in the third balcony and who usually go to the opera to jeer. Fan Club The music students formed a "Mary Gray Fan Club" and hitch-hiked all the way to Lucerne, Switzerland, for her guest performance there last year as Violetta. When she sings in Berlin, Couple Honored At Open House Mr. and Mrs. Harold Allen, 95 Bigham drive, were hon ored at an open house July 20 on their silver wedding anni versary. ..

Pink and white carnations decorated the serving table. Mr. and Mrs. Allen were married July 20, 1933, in Em poria, Kan., at . the Christian church. Their attendants were Mrs. Williams and Vern Allen, both of whom were present for the open house recently. . Mrs. Allen chose a navy blue dress for the event. .

The West Berlin newspa per Kurier said her perform ance as the countess was "the surprise of the season." From pin-up girl to opera star was a long hard road. As a student at Garfield Junior high in Berkeley, Calif., she applied to join the school chorus and .was re jected. : "They said my voice was not big enough," she said. ' Her mother, Mrs. G. R. j Heath, lives at 1716 Buena avenue, Berkeley. But Mary was determined to be ah opera singer, and as a teen-ager she modeled while waiting for a chance. She got her first role in 1948 in a small part in the "Great Waltz" for the Los Angeles-San Francisco Light Opera company. ChMftcake "It was a sexy, parti" she said. '.'That's why I got it.. I had to get dressed on stage. I appeared in bloomers and had to put on about 15 petti coats." Frorri there she went to the chorus of the San Francisco Opera company for two years. "I was . just another voice in the chorus," she said. "But whenever the opera wanted any publicity I was photo graphed in cheesecake:" The turning point, an her career came when she . audi tioned for world-famous Carl Ebert; now director of West Berlin's excellent Municipal Opera. At that time he was head of the opera school at the , University of Southern California. "Go. to Europe to study," he told Miss Gray. "You have a great, voice. - But .here you are ; thought of only as a body." In 1950 she went to Italy and. studied and sang, small parts with " opera companies in Sienna, Genoa, Naples and at La Scala in Milan. Her - first big chance dame after four years in Italy. She was hired by the opera com pany in Wuppertal, West Ger many. " Wuppertal is strictly minor league, but I sang big parts where.: there was always the chance a big league scout would hear me, she said. One did.' Strangely, enough the' scout worked for the man who told her to come to Eu rope, and she started at Ebert's West Berlin Opera last year. ' ELIZABETH ARDEN Soap Sale !

S. Senate? Or fhfe House of Representatives? The question comes . up about this time each year when short shorts and brief tops begin to appear in .the galleries, to the distraction of lawmakers trying to unsnarl ; details of a new space agency or farm bill. But It's one question Con gress steadfastly has refused to answer. As Sen. Hubert H. Humph- rey (D-Minn.) quipped, "I can't think of anyone- so orn-, ery or obnoxious" as to com plain about the brightly hued and sometimes brief hot wea ther get-ups. : "We get very few- pleas ures" he added, with a smile, , indicating . that few if . any of the distinguished senators are unaware of the casual summer wear displayed in the gallery overhead. No Action , One veteran representative recalled that a committee once took up a suggested reg ulation on garb in the ' visi tors' galleries. But it never got out of committee. Veteran House -doorkeeper " William M. (Fishbait) . Miller claims that in his 26 years on the "Hill" there hasn't been ' even that -much of an attempt to 6et tourist garb standards. He declined to . take sides in a favorite debate over whether women's shorts are' getting shorter. . Actually, there are no regu-: lations to require even a coat on a male in the galleries. In fact mens Bermuda shorts which set off a small flurry when they once appear ed are almost as common-) place now as the Hawaiian' sport shirt. One senator, who declined to be 'identified, suggested that the one big reason there- probably never will be any regulations in this: every tour ist no matter what he or sh.e wears is somebody's constituent. - Couples Spend Time at Coast Mr. and Mrs. R. .H.
