F. Fliegel Decem ber 13. "Christmas in Song and Story" was the theme of the program, presented by Miss Florence Allen and her committee. Miss Allen explained the symbolism of the lighted candle in the window. This is to show that the Lord is a guest in the home. The dark leaves of evergreens show grief that Eve plucked the apple; gold balls are for re membrances, blue ones for fellowship, green for kindli ness and service to others, silver shows love for all peo ple, yellow is for peace and red for faith and hope, she said. Favorite carols were sung, with Mrs. Alice Willets at the piano. Mrs. Oscar Bjorlie played "Silent Night" on the chimes. There was an hilarious ex change of "white elephant" gifts, and a social period dur ing which guests examined the unusual Christmas trees, of teazles and net, which were the featured decorations. The hostesses were Mrs. Iona Tay lor and Miss Bertha Stevens, and committee. Former Congresswoman Advises Husband Senator By ROSE MCKEE Washington The attractive wife of Senator Paul H. Douglas (D) 111., lightly refers to herself as "something of a museum piece. This is because Emily Taft Douglas is the only woman to have preceded her husband as a member of Congress. A number of widows have filled out the unexpired terms of their husbands and gone on to win elections on their own. But Mrs. Douglas was elect ed to the House of Represen tatives in 1944 during World War II when her hus band was a major in the Ma rines in the Southeast Pacific. As a cpngresswoman-at-large, she represented the entire state of Illinois, just as her husband does now as a sena tor.

It is non-al coholic, and particularly suit able for serving to children. For the American glogg use 1 pint cranberry , juice, 1 quart apple cider, 1 cup raisins, Vi pound candied orange peel, lb cup canned, blanched, slivered almonds, 4 whole cloves, 2 cinnamon sticks, 8 cardamon seeds, cracked, 1 can frozen orange juice, 1 can frozen orange juice, reconstituted, and 2 large bottles of ginger ale. Combine cranberry juice, apple cider, raisins, orange peel, almonds and spices. Bring to boil; cover and store overnight. When ready to serve, add orange juice and ginger ale; heat thoroughly without boiling. Serve in small mugs with a little of the fruit-nut mixture in each glass. Makes about 35 serv ings. It can be kept hot in a heat - controlled electric cas serole, in a large chafing dish or served from a typical Swedish glogg bowl. About 35 per cent of Jap an's people are under age 15. term in the House. Her hus band, elected in 1948, is-now in his second six-year term in the Senate. Asked if her own service in Congress enables her to be of special assistance to her hus band, Mrs. Douglas said only: "I am a sort of good safety valve he can talk things over with me w h e t h e r I have anything to contribute or not." The Senator, asked the same question in a separate interview, was far less reti cent. He declared: Praises Wife "She is invaluable, not only in knowing the issues and in always counseling me to do the right thing but also in ad vising me how to minimize personal friction while still pushing for what I believe to be right. "I talk over all important decisions with her and I have never known her advice to be wrong. When I have made tactical mistakes, It is because I have gone ahead against her wishes. She tells me I must be generous to people of differ ent points of view." Mrs. Douglas, the daughter of Lorado Taft, the sculptor, was asked if she missed being the member of the husband wife team to write legislation. 'I have always felt," she re plied, "that he was the one better equipped to be a mem ber of Congress. He had an apprenticeship from years of teaching (college) economics, being a civic leader and from the rough-and-tumble of the (Chicago) city council. My ap prenticeship was through the League of Women Voters." Mrs. Douglas believes there is "still a lag in acceptance of women" in politics, both by political leaders and the wom en themselves. She said that "it is harder for a woman to get going." She conceded that her own experience contradicts half of this. A political leader sought her out and asked her to run for the House. She declined. Aided by League A few days later she ad dressed a League of Women Voters meeting outside Chica go. The woman who presided confided to Mrs. Douglas that she had been asked to run for the state legislature. Mrs. Douglas said she thought this just fine and was enthusiastic until the woman added, "But I refused." On her way back to Chica go, Mrs. Douglas "did some thinking." She . upshot was, she changed her own mind and threw her bonnet into the political ring as a candi date for Congress. In the House, Mrs. Douglas sponsored the "Douglas" bill to bring libraries to rural areas via bookmobiles. It didn't pass. But her husband i re-introduced the bill when he got to the Senate. This time' the "Douglas" bill became law. The Senator has a weekly radio and bi-weekly television program beamed to his state during the months Congress is in session. Mrs.' Douglas helps prepare the programs and usually appears with her hus-1 band on the telecasts. They i take a major issue and give ' it a good airing. ' Mrs. Douglas enjoys the work and finds that the pro grams "keep me busy and" keep me up on issues my father always used to say that if you want to know about a subject, lecture on it." . . . .

Turkeys in Ample Supply; Some Commodities Higher The following guide to the na tion's best food buys for this week end was prepared in co operation with the U.S. Depart ments of Agriculture and Inter ior). Washington-flJPD-Pre-Christ-mas food shoppers will find many good buys at markets this week end. Among the meats, turkeys lead the parade, as they are in ample supply in nearly every desired size. Broiler-fryers are plentiful and inexpensive, also. Although some markets will feature certain economi cal cuts of beef, pork is about the best bet in red meats, with smoked ham, sausage, and ba con bearing excellent price tags. Legs of. lamb will be a good buy at many markets also. Eggs continue plentiful and reasonably priced. Numerous fruits continue in excellent supply, among them apples, oranges, grapefruit, tangerines, winter pears, em peror grapes, cranberries, avo cadoes and bananas. Vegetables Favorites Vegetables bins will offer a smaller variety than re cently, but there'll still be such favorites to chose from as potatoes, cabbage, celery, carrots, turnips, lettuce and sweet potatoes. Many markets will offer radishes, corn, and cauliflower. In the fish line, plentiful supplies include shrimp fish sticks, and canned tuna. These are the week end's best food buys across the na tion. Now for a closer look at the situation in this par ticular area: West: Arizona, California, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Ore gon, Utah, Washington, Wy oming: Consumers will have to shop carefully to find their best buys this week end since prices on most commodities are slightly higher.

Make a diagonal cut across the butt and stand the tree in water immediately, says Parker Anderson, a forester at the University of Minne sota. Check the water level ev ery day. A large tree will ab sorb a quart of water daily. Water also keeps the tree fresh, he said. The ancient Chinese tea monopoly ended in 1823, when tea plants were found growing wild in India.

Father's Name Should Be First On Family Card New York - (DPD - The rule, "women and children first," doesn't apply when it comes to signing family Christmas cards. If a card contains a photo of the family, home or carica tures representing the family, the father's name should come first, says Jerlyn Madi son, etiauette consultant for the Sheaffer Pen company. Mother is next, then the children in order of their ages, regardless of sex. It Is proper to include a grown daughter's name, but not that of an adult son, Miss Madison said. The last name should be used to avoid mix-up with cards of other families that might have similar first names, she added. On formal husband - and wife cards, Mr. and Mrs. Wil liam Smith is the proper form. Correct for informal use are these: The William Smiths, Bill and Mary Smith, or Mary and Bill Smith.

Use of the tree can be trac - ed-to the Egyptians. Lighting the tree at Christmastime has been attributed to Martin Lu ther. He wanted to re-create indoors the wonder of a star ry Christmas Eve, so he at tached lighted candles to the tree to symbolize the stars. It is not known who started the tradition of outdoor light ing, but one version places it early in this century. Charles H. Weisker of South Orange, N. J., brought home a string of small electric lights and announced he was going to use them in place of the tra ditional candles on the family tree. His wife objected, so the story goes. Weisker then took to the great outdoors and put the lights on a young spruce on the front lawn. But outdoor lighting Is tricky, says tree expert Mar tin L. Davey Jr. Select the planting site before buying the living tree. Most trees sold for this pur pose demand sunny locations, plus plenty of growing space, he said. Take care, Davey advised. when choosing the size of light bulbs for the tree. Never use bulbs above 15 watts, or severe burning will result. If more light is required, achieve dramatic effects with spot lights or flood lights. Candle Tip New York -UPD- Candles come in styles and colors to suit any taste. White tapers are decorated with gold an gels, white and gilded trees, or Christmas berries and flowers. Tinseled roses are placed on candies m a vari ety of color combinations in cluding silver on blue, gold on black or red, and red on white. Flat, tinseled roses in all colors may be lighted and floated in a bowl, or tied to the tree.
