All-Girl Bank Just Happened Portland, Conn. - (UPD - The interest rates are tne same, but the figures are better. That's the situation here, now that the Middletown Sav ings Bank has opened the first "all-girl" bank in the nation The branch office is run by Mrs. Marian Wetherbee, mort- gage officer and veteran of 28 years with the organiza tion. She says there's been 1 place in banking for women for quite some time. However, she feels that this bank will underline the opportunity to the career girl. But that's not why it's an all-girl bank. It "just happen ed " that way, according to a bank official. He said Mrs, Wetherbee is the logical per son to run the branch and that the tellers just happened to be women. - The bank neglected to hire a lady wrestler as a guard, Officials decided the pretty tellers would attract more customers than bandits. In addition, the building has several burglar alarms to notify police and businessmen in other offices. ' . "Even our male employees are instructed not to play hero, so there's really no dif ference," said one bank of ficial. and Mrs. A. E. Brockway, Stewart avenue, tomorrow. Mr. and Mrs. Merle Van Doren arrived early in the week from Elk Grove, Calif., Mr. and Mrs. Ira Hart, Eugene, are arriving today and also to be guests are Mrs. Brockway's sister and brother-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. R.

Carl Christenson, SPring 3-4770, no later than December 1. pre-war years. And we re buying better quality foods with more variety, reports Mrs. Elvera Horrell, Oregon State College extension econo mist. The big push on retail food prices has come largely from increased marketing'costs, she states. The retail bill for farm-produced foods has gone up 38 percent since 1947, but marketing costs have in creased twice as fast. Market ing costs jumped from S17.8 billion in 1947 to $30.9 in 1957 an increase of 74 per cent. Marketing costs include all of the charges made by marketing agencies for assem bling, processing, transporting and distributing the foods in the market basket. Last year, consumers paid at retail prices a total of $40.5 billion for foods' grown on U.S. farms. Restaurant meals valued at retail store prices were included in this bill, but not such nonfarm goods as fish and other seafoods, nor imported foods- such as cof fee and bananas. More than three-fifths of this grocery bill was accountea or in getting the raw food product to the family table after' it left the farm, Mrs. Horrell reported. The homemaker feels these high costs when she shops for food, she noted. However, higher incomes have cush ioned the impact of higher prices. Families have more money to spend. Before the war, consumers spent about 23 percent of their take-home pay for food. Last year, with food prices up and with more foods, including more expen sive ones in the diet, per capita food expenditures amounted to only 22 percent of spendable income. If shoppers bought only the same Kinds ana amounts oi foods that they bought be fore the war; the food bill would have added up to less than 16 percent of last year's capita spendable income.

Dr. Clarence E. Larson, re search vice president of the National Carbon company, a division of the billion-dollar Union Carbide and Carbon Corp., says companies must recruit young scientists on two age levels. They must head grade - school children into science and attract young women. Companies need scientists whether married or unmar ried, with or without chil dren. Salaries are good, and plenty of bachelors are avail able, he said. Firms engaged in industrial research can use about 5,000 more women in important jobs. They include positions as chemists, physicists and biologists. Although women make up a third of the na tion's working force, only about one in 20 scientific workers is a woman. There also is a call for labo ratory assistants who want to work summers during college. Agent Lists Foods Now Plentiful Plentiful foods for the Thanksgiving season include pork, turkey, top grades of beef, ham, oysters, cranber ries, apples, pumpkin, brus- sels sprouts, cauliflower, tur nips, broccoli, potatoes, pome granates, persimmons, grape fruit and all dairy foods. This list was supplied by Miss Mary Pat Lucy, county home exten sion agent, who invites home makers to compare these with the limited fare in the time of the Pilgrims. Miss Lucy has compiled three sample menus using these foods. For a company dinner she suggests pork loin roast with apple-nut dressing, baked mashed sweet potatoes or ya ms with marshmallows, ripe and green olives, glazed onions, cranberry gelatin sal ad, cornbread and butter, Ice cream atop a slice of pound cake and chocolate syrup, milk and coffee. A meal planned around broiled or baked ham could include pineapple slices with brown sugar, buttered brus sels' sprouts, cranberry sher- bert, milk and coffee. For light refreshments she suggests cranberry nog, made with milk and cranberry juice, and crunch nut cookies. The extension office will sup ply recipes for the cranberry nog. Another suggestion for light refreshments is cheese cubes, speared, served with apples, pears or grapes. Three Students Participate In Social Program Portland-Three girls of the Medford area recently parti cipated in the fourth annual community program sponsor ed by the Associated Women Students of the college. The purpose of the program, in volving 140 girls, was to ob serve and assist in the work of 18 social agencies of Port land during the week of No vember 16-22. Participants from the Med ford area' and the agencies they visited were Miss Gail Collins, Gold Hill, and Miss Marjorie Edens, Jacksonville, Shriners hospital; and Miss Jonna Henson, 2000 Wester lund Dr., Boys and Girls Aid society. . High School Youths Need Big Breakfasts Washington -flJPD- If that boy or girl in your family is heading for high school these days, chances are you should be serving a heartier breakfast than in previous years. Dr. Ruth Leverton, associ ate director of the agriculture department's Institute of Home Economics, says this is so because high-school boys and girls are full-blown ado lescents. According to the expert, their nutritional needs are higher than ever before. Boys need more food than at any other age and girls more than most other times in their lives. Dr. Leverton said it is dif ficult or impossible for these young folks to make up at other meals, or by in-between meal snacks, the food missed at breakfast. "A little extra morning sleep is no exchange for a good breakfast," she added.

The pro gram will be sponsored for the 19 th consecutive year by Texaco, and is being broad cast for the first time on CBS Radio. Listener reaction to the pro gram is urged by the staff of the local station, since con tinuance, oi the program may depend on this. The opera broadcasts were dropped in favor of football a few years ago when a poll indicated that a majority of the listeners pre ferred the sport to music. Mu sic lovers are asked to write either the station or the CBS network in support of the opera broadcast. Opera in the U.S. today is increasingly a native product, presented from coast to coast in outdoor amphitheatres, on college campuses and concert platforms, in army camps and even churches.'

It's time someone went to the aid of his spouse, who has to stuff the darned bird. urcd we would have a home of our own one day." Mm. Smith planned and re-planned the home she want ed. The ono detail that never changed was the front door. She knew exactly what she vsnled-a Colonial door with )r)g narrow windows at either phle and staU shaped like an open fan at the top. When Smith was adminis trator and a lecturer at Prince ton lnlvemity in 1B20, they bought the site for their home, near the campus. W used to drive to Canada every summer on a fishing trip," the Senator said. "That year whi we got to Maine and, as we , were driving through Bangor, I saw a house down the street with the kind of door my wife wanted. I stopped the car, pointed the door out V her and sold I was going to grt It tor h-r. Buys Door "I went to tb house, rang the bell and whm a man an swered I ld, TJon't think I'm crazy but I would like to buy your front door.' 'He replied, 'Don't think I'm crazy but I don't want to sell if" The Bangor man exDlained th.it the door had been in his family for more than 150 years. Although disappointed. omitn gave the man his name and the address he could be reacnea in Canada "in case you change your mind." "Just hefore we left Can ada," the Senator said, "I got a card from the man asking us 10 stop on the way down. We did. He said his wife had always wanted a little porch in front of the house and if I would pay for the porch and a new door, I could have the old door. I agreed." The massive Colonial door, with narrow side windows and a semi-circular fan of wooden slats on top, was taken down and shipped in. tact to Princeton. Smith thought the cost of the Ban gor porch and door ran the price of his wife's door rather high. But an expert later told him that the Colonial door couldn't have been duplicated for yiree times what he paid for it. With the door in hand, the Smiths built an early Colonial house in keeping with it. The house is an impressive, digni fied structure of stone and wood. The living room, in the rear, looks out . on a golf course that occupies the site of the battle of Princeton in the Revolutionary War. The Cleveland tower of the campus is also part of "the view," which is framed on the inside by soft, yelowish green draperies made of Japa nese obi silk. The Senator said the home is really his wife's because she did so much planning for it "but I love it as much as she does."

You Like She's faced not only with getting a couple of quarts of stuffing in a slippery carcass and sewing it up, but also with deciding just what type of stuffing is best. Today's list of dressings is plenty confusing. In grand ma's day, she could settle for cornbread if she lived in tha South, plain bread, or of tha oyster stuffing is incompar able,? school, she could add drained oysters and broth to to the bread mixture. Now, the homemaker must decide whether to add apples, chestnuts, orange slices, grapefruit and orange, fresh grapes, whole kernel corn. toasted almonds, filberts, wal nuts, peanuts or cashews. She must choose from ham and olive stuffing, which is Ital ian style, or a liver stuffing which comes from Poland, or mashed sweet potatoes, Jamai can in origin. Garbage Can Recommended The Poultry and Egg Na tional Board has recipes call- ing for sausages, prunes, fresh dill, raisins and burgundy, cranberries, mince meat, or of all things crumbled pret zels instead of bread. One cook I knew said some things suggested for stuffing a turkey these days are better off stuffing the garbage can- About the only thing every one agrees on is: one, the tur key tastes better stuffed, and two, the basic ingredients should include bread, butter or margarine, onion, pepper, salt, celery, either sage or poultry seasoning, and soma moistening agent such as plain water. Avanelle Day, a home economist and f r i e n d and one of the best cooks ever to set a table for a Thanksgiving feast swears by the turkey stuffing her mother and grandmother made at their home in Rome, Ga. The recipe, in the . best Southern tradition, used corn' bread and was baked in a se parate pan, not in the bird. And the turkey was - par boiled, then, baked, instead of roasted. Once tender, cooking time depended on "how tough the bird was," she said, tht turkey was removed from the liquid- about two inches of water and put into the oven to be browned. Used Cornbread "I don't care what they say about modern-day roasting," she said, "THAT boiled tur key was good, and the stuf fing . . ." she got right elo quent as she described it. For a 10 or 12 pound tur key, her mother used about two-thirds leftover cornbread and one-third biscuit and or loaf bread, plus sage, lots of onion (not sauteed), pepper and salt, raw eggs and turkey stock. The gravy was part stock and part milk, thickened with a bit of flour, seasoned with pepper and onions, with a few giblets. Sliced hard-cooked eggs floated on top. Me, I'm of the wild rict stuffing school. My recipe uses rice with sausage meat, onion, mushrooms, salt and butter and I've never had leftover dressing to go with leftover turkey.
