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.

full for best baking results.

Modern Farming Methods

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

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.

have been skipping the soup

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.

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.

Municipal Opera house all

the limited number of cheap
tickets.
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. '

Women in Shorts
Pose Problem
For Congressmen
By PATRICIA WIGGINS
Uniiod Press International
Washington (DPS Should
women be allowed to wear
shorts while sightseeing in
the U. 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.
