Honor Society
Has Yule Party
Delta Kappa Gamma, inter
national honorary teachers'
organization, held its annual
Christmas party at the home
of Mrs. J. 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. She served one two-year

American Version
Of Swedish Glogg
Uses No Alcohol
A recipe for American
"glogg," an old Swedish
drink traditionally served
during the holidays, particu
larly on St. Lucia day, comes
from New York. 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.

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."

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.
Supplies of broiler and fry

turkeys are ample, and prices
Prevent Yule Fires
St. Paul -flJPD- Reduce dan

Make a diagonal cut across

Check the water level ev
ery day. A large tree will ab
sorb a quart of water daily.
Water also keeps the tree

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.

Tree Tradition
Now Changing
Kent, Ohio-(DPD-The tradi
tion of the Christmas tree is
growing so fast that it now
takes modern know-how to
execute the ancient custom.
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.
