Canned Meats Good For Summer Meals Treat your family to canned meats this summer. Handy for camp trips and other outings, canned meats are ready to serve anywhere in the great outdoors. A glimpse at today's vari ety of canned meats, tips on selection, care and storage are provided by Oregon State college county extension agents. Luncheon meat, chili con came, canned hams, and meat stew account for almost half of all canned meat items packed under federal inspec tion last year. Spaghetti meat products, beef hash and ta- males were other . popular items. Babies like meat, too, continue home economists, and their mothers like the convenience of buying ready- to-feed strained and chopped meats. Price tag on canned meat depends on ingredients used. Some spaghetti and meat com binations, for instance, vary 15 to 20 cents in price. By reading labels, homemakers can tell what makes up the total product, as greatest amounts of single ingredients are listed first on containers. Almost all canned meats have been completely steril ized after sealing so they can be stored unopened at room temperature. However," some hams are not completely ster ile and should be refrigerated. Shoppers are advised to read labels carefully. Rust or dents on cans do not harm the contents unless seams have leaked. Canned meats do not require cooking. Some taste better, however, if - served hot. Cover unused portions of meat and store in refrigerator and use within a few days. Don't wash eggs before stor ing them. Water destroys the protective film which keeps out air and odors. IP THERE'S A BABY IN YOUR HOUSE it's especially impor tant to wash all of his things in White King .rJt. V. SWKSIP Soap. White King keeps every thing that touches his tender skill soft, safe, free from the irritants that lead to diaper rash, rliafing and other discomforts. All-American Girl Is a Hit , At Brussels Worlds Fair By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor Brussels (CPD The All American girl is a hit with all who visit the U. S. Pavil ion at the Brussels World's Fair. And this includes the men who first ask the host esses for information but stick around to ask for dates. The information is readily available; the dates are not. "Oh, I have plenty of social life here," said Kaye Karlan, a blue-eyed brunette of 23, from Denver, Colo. "But most of us date boys we've met through friends, the same as back home. We get plenty of other offers, es pecially from GIs stationed over here," said Kaye, a graduate of Northwestern un iversity. "We expect that." laughed Freida Weisblatt, 21, of Fort Worth, Texas, a junior at the University of Texas. "That's part of the American rou tine." Too Young "Only thing is, the GIs are usually younger than we are" said Renee Straus, 22, of Camden, N. J. The be-friendly-but - not -too-friendly policy is one host esses have adopted for their summer long job of putting America's best foot forward at the fair, where 54 coun tries including Russia are ex hibiting. All will stay until the fair closes Oct. 19. I stood for an hour by the U. S. information center, just inside the American Pavilion watching thase three cheer fully answer questions from a steady stream of visitors. My own reaction was one of pride in these girls, all attrac tive, all looking well-scrubbed and neat in their pale gray two-piece suit uniforms. They are doing a good job of diplomacy at the person-to-person level. And the Euro pean reaction to them is friendliness in return. "So many ci! them come back to say we are nice," Miss Karlan said. Oregon Ministers Ask Agreement To End Nuclear Tests Portland Basing their plea on moral grounds, 147 Oregon ministers have called upon the United States to secure an in ternational agreement to sus pend all nuclear weapons tests. The announcement was made today, the 13th anniver sary of the United States atomic bombing of Hiroshima, by the American Friends Service Committee in Port land. The ministers represent 71 Oregon communities and 14 Christian denominations. Asked To Bend Efforts The appeal was addressed to President Eisenhower, Secre tary of State Dulles and John A. McCone, chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission. It asked that each work to bring an end to U. S. tests in the Pacific, and "to bend all possible efforts to secure agreeemnt with the other nu clear powers which will sus pend all nuclear weapons tests." The 'ministers questioned the morality of continued test ing in light of "mounting evi dence of radioactive fallout and by the widely held opin ion of scientists that harmful effects will be visited upon unborn generations." Deplores Perfection "We deplore the perfecting of weapons capable of total and instant annihilation of millions of people in one blow," the statement contin ued. 1 "We are saddened that the world believes it can sow the seeds of peace by using imple ments of destruction." The statement was a project initiated . by the American Friends Service Committee in cooperation with the Rev. George G. Roseberry, First Methodist Church of Medford; the Rev. J. J. Clow. Mt: Olivet Baptist Church of Portland; the Rev. John L.' Anderson, chaplain at Lewis and Clark College, Portland; the Rev. Al bert F. King, Bethel Congre gational Church of Beaverton, and the Rev. Harold Glen Brown, First Christian Church of Portland. , The 71 communities reDre- sented by signatories' include Ashland, Grants Pass, Cave Junction, Lakeview, Klamath Falls, Prospect and Medford. TEMPTATION TOO GREAT San Jose, Calif (UPD John Henry McNeill did a good job as trusty in the county jail coffee shop, so when he was transferred to the county farm deputies took up a collection to .show their appreciation. McNeil, with money to spend, promptly jumped the farm fence and fled. All told, we have 190 host esses working in various parts of the American Pavilion plus other young men and women serving as guides and demon strators. The hostesses were selected for their personality, appear ance and intelligence. And all speak at least two languages besides English. I asked the three girls what questions were most fre quent. All three agreed they were: "Where can we get a hot dog?" Any snack bar. "Where is Circirama?" an impressive, and free, tour of the United States with a mo-vies-in-the round technique: and "Where are the rest rooms?" Careless Handling Of Picnic Food Can Cause Poisoning By JEANNE LESEM United Press Correspondent New York (UPD The pic nic season that is underway is a mixed blessing. It cuts down on dish-washing and other housekeeping chores, but it increases the possibility of food poisoning among careless picnickers. The U. S. Public Health Service reports an average of 11,000 food poisoning cases annually. But authorities re gard this figure as a gross un derstatement because many health boards fail to report case totals to the federal agency. There also are no sta tistics showing how many cases are due to careless hand ling of picnic food. Whatever the figure, it could be cut greatly with cleanliness and refrigeration, says the New York Depart ment of Health. Cool Quickly Cleanliness should apply to food handlers, all utensils and serving dishes and to the food. Even food prepared under completely sanitary condi tions can cause poisoning if it's left unrefrigerated too long. Cooked food should be cooled rapidly, department experts said, even if it does steam up the refrigerator. Don't wait for cooked food to reach room temperature, es pecially on a hot day. Put it in the refrigerator soon after it comes off the stove. Don't count on detecting bad food from its odor or flavor, the health department warned. Food poisoning is not caused by spotted or rotted food or by "ptomaines." These dangers can be antici pated and avoided through scent or taste. Germs and chemicals that cause food poisoning don't chanee the appearance, taste and aroma of either highly- perishable cream foods and custards or less perishable solids, such as hams. Food Selection Chances of avoiding food poisoning re better if you select foods that keep well. These generally are foods that have been cooked before serv ing and kept adequately re frigerated until mealtime, or dry or acid foods that resist bacterial growth. This' includes bread, cook ies, crackers and dry cakes, such as pound or sponge cake. It also includes all raw fruits and vegetables, fruit juices, dry and cooked cereals, cooked vegetables, stewed fruits, cheeses, canned fish, canned baked beans, fried or boiled eggs, jellies apd jams. This .rules out traditional picnic items, such as ham and chicken salads, potato or mac aroni salad, dairy foods and mayonnaise. They are more readily contaminated, the health department said. If you do use them, don't mix in the mayonnaise or salad dressing until , serving time, because the solid foods will reduce the dressing's acidity which protects it from . contamination. J. SPECIAL!

DOUGLAS FIR PEELER HEARTS JJ400 Unsplit Split PHONE SP 2-8086 TlMBERPMpS COMPANY Women Make Better Drivers Expert Reports By DAVID TALBOTT United Press International Cleveland, Ohio (UPD Sum mer weekend driving com ment: - Let the women take the wheel. For men are more reckless drivers than women. So says Mrs. Mildred Gnau, head of the Cleveland AAA highway safety program. "When a man has an acci dent, it's a good one," said the I soft-spoken Mrs. Gnau. with the city's AAA safety program for 22 years. "But when a woman has an accident it's usually a minor thing. "A man will try to make a distance record to Drove that he can do it. A woman will stop for a cup of coffee rather than think of setting a record." Mrs. Gnau, one of the few women leaders in highway safety, believes more women are needed in her field. Women More Cautious "Many women are fright ened away from the field be cause they think that any thing to do with an automo bile is a man's work," she ex plained. "But the truth is, highway safety work is a nat ural for women. For they are more safety conscious than men, because they're natur ally protective. And often they have insights that a man would not. "I think that the major im portance of women in high way safety work is this women are hot as callous to ward death as are men. By nature, a woman is more cau tious and careful. Then too, women's organizations are a terrific tool for getting safety legislation through." Asked whether the safety consciousness of women might be a factor in some accidents, Mrs. Gnau laughed. "I knew that was coming," she said. "Many times a wom an driver will seem confused as to what she is going to do next. Actually, she's not con fused but only being cautious. She can't make up her mind whether she is going to do the safe thing." Pre-Schooi Start Mrs. Gnau pointed with pride to. the two women in structors she had on the staff of the AAA driving school. "The women are more pa tient and understanding than men," she said. "At first we thought we might have trouble with male students but it has been the opposite. No man has ever refused a woman as an instructor, but sometimes a woman will say she prefers to have another woman as an instructor." When should driver train ing and safety training begin? "It should start with the pre-school child," said Mrs. Gnau. "Children, no matter how small, constantly pick up information and they are go ing to grow up in an age on wheels. ' "The schools are doing an excellent job of safety train ing. But sometimes the exam ple set at home on weekends is pretty bad. The child sits as a silent observer while his fa ther gets out on the wrong side of the car or mother dashes across the street against traffic." Cakes will rise more evenly, and pies and biscuits will brown better if baked in a shiny pan instead of a dark one. 4 Remove fruit stains by pour ing boiling water over the spot. Bleach if necessary, but do not use soap. -t To clean clogged steam irons, fill the iron with dis tilled yinegar, heat it until it steams a few mnutes, and let stand overnight. Then empty the vinegar and rinse the iron with distilled water.

(UPD Pretty Patricia Krauth al ways wanted to be a nurse and take care of children, but she never dreamed that she'd be ministering to be tween 100 and 200 infants daily. The 31-year-old brunette may have the country's most unusual nursing job. She manages the baby station at Disneyland Amusement park. This is a small but very im portant corner of Wralt Dis ney's "M a g i c Kingdom," where only babies count. And there's very little that isn'fr provided for a baby's comfort at the station.

Stroller Parking We have a diaper chang ing room with hospital-type equipment, real small toilets, a fully equipped kitchen for parents to prepare food, a feeding room, high chairs and a screened off area for moth ers who breast-feed their ba bies. And it's all free." Mrs. Krauth is particularly proud of the neat, tidy rooms in her domain. The interior is a pastel green and there are lots of cartoon characters on the walls and curtains. There's a reception room where fathers can wait if mothers are handling babies, and outside a visitor finds stroller parking lanes care fully marked on the road by the curb "We've planned the station in such a way that an infant makes a trip through it with out having to double back. Keeps things, going more smoothly, but mothers never get the feeling of an assem bly line. Appreciative Comments ."We supply fruit juices, tissues, disposable diapers, baby powder, disposable cups and spoons I guess that's about it. We've found that most parents bring their own milk:" Mrs. Krauth said she as sists here and " there when necessary but that otherwise she merely guides mothers to various phases of the station. "I'd hate to count the dia pers we've 'given out since we opened last July," Mrs. Krauth said. "We've had more than 12,000 babies from every state and 31 foreign countries. Most are from Cal ifornia, of course,, and then New York state. ! Mrs. Krauth, who lives with her husband, Frederick, a former Navy flier from Cincinnati, Ohio, in nearby Garden Grove, said many mothers are startled when they learn that the makers of a baby food (Pablum) are footing the bill. She said the guest register reflects their thanks and includes com ments such as: "Real cool." "Wonderful and thanks." "The best ride yet." HOWARD . . As Shown Something New!
