2 MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Tuesday, December 30, 1938 Government's Best Selling Pamphlet Is Infant Care7 President Eisenhower re- cently presented the 40th mil lionth copy of the govern ment's best seller, "Infant Care," to a representative American mother and father, Mr. and Mrs. Jerry E. Levels mier of Carbondale. 111. The Levelsmiers have two chil dren, Stephen 2, and Terry Lynn, 1. First published in 1914, soon after the establishment of the Children's Bureau, "In fant Care" is now in its 10th Hugh Russell, Spring, Tex. considered lh world's lead' ing daylily grower, recently won another award and now has won all th awards of farad for growers and hybrid izers of these flowers. Ha has dereloped hundreds of new varieties, soma of -which bloom after dark and ethers which bloom until the first hard freeze of w'nter. Daylily Grower Is Winner Hugh Russell of Spring, Texas, America's number one daylily grower, has added an other award to the long list of awards already received. He won the coveted Bertrand Farr award this year as the world's outstanding hybridiz er of daylilies. This is the last "first" Rus sell can win. He now has won very award that is given in the daylily world. The other four top awards liven to daylily hybridizers and growers are the yearly Popularity poll (Russell con sistently takes from 12 to 37 of the 100 places); the Stout medal, for the outstanding daylily anywhere on earth; the President's cup, for the best daylily in competition on a convention tour; the Helen Field Fisher award, presented to the man who has done the most for the Hemerocallis so ciety during the past year. Hugh Russell is now the only man in history to win all the awards given by a flower association. The fifth man in the world to hybridize (cross breed) day lilies, Russell has developed 1200 of the present 8000 named varieties. In 1927 when Russell became inter ested in daylilies, there were only three species in America and 16 Asiatic varieties. From these he has developed flow ers containing the colors of the rainbow, blossoms that stay open after dark, dwarf and giant plants and . blos soms. Plants have been bred to produce twisted, ruffled and forward-or backward-curved petals of all textures. Plants can also be developed to be more prolific and to with stand blazing sun or severe temperatures. Russell is con tinually developing better daylilies. From 10,000 new hybrids that bloomed last May, 300 show promise of be ing added to the list of worth while hybrid daylilies of the world. Russell was the first to per fect a daylily that would stay open at night or after being cut. He has developed more new varieties of daylily than any other man, 1200 so far. He has the largest group of daylilies in the world, ZVz million.

Dressier, 1107 East Main st. edition. It is not only the standard guide for millions of new parents in this country, but has been translated into many other languages for use aboard. Begun in a time of hizh in fant mortality, ''Infant Care" had as its original goal giv ing parents all available knowledge on how to keep their children alive. Over the years, as knowl- edge of how to prevent or cure diseases of infancy has grown, the scope of the publi cation has broadened to in clude many other matters re lating to the care and train ing of infants. Together, the 10 editions represent a thumbnail history of child care practices in the United States. Some of the once-accepted practices have changed radically. Advice Changes In 1914, for example, fath ers were advised not to play with an infant son or daugh- ter because it might result in "nervous disturbances of the baby and upset his regular habits. Experts now agree that infants need the atten tions of their fathers as well as their mothers. In 1914, "Infant Care" did not advise even strained fruits until a baby was 7 or 8 months old, and solid foods were not recommended until after a baby was one year old. Today's "Infant Care" baby gets fruit Juice at two weeks and solid foods within the first few months of his life. Another piece of advice in the pre-bathinette edition of 1941, was not to leave the baby's tub on the stove while bathing him. The current edition of "In fant Care" contains not only the latest medical advice on bringing up babies but also includes information on many of the psychological problems and needs of infancy. The Children's Bureau is beginning to plan the eleventh revision of "Infant Care." As in the past, the Bureau will have the advice of a technical advisory committee, composed of physicians who represent four major medical societies, and the guidance of parents, psychologists, nurses, nutri tionists, anthropologists, social workers, parent educators, and others. "Infant Care" is one of a series of child development publications for parents issued by the Children's Bureau, cov ering the period from the pre natal stage through adoles cence. Stephen Levelsmier has al ready been graduated to the second guide in the series and Terry Lynn is in the process of leaving "Infant Care" be hind. The second guide is "Your Child From One Six." to Pears and Spareribs Combined in Recipe Canned Bartlett pears may be combined with barbecued spareribs and chili sauce for a zestful dinner dish.

Tips for Lean New Year Given for Diet Conscious By PATRICIA McCORMACK United Press International New York-UPE-If you ' can keep your waistline while all about are losing theirs, then a happier New Year is in store for you. Chew on this new twist to Kipling if you are one of 34 million Americans who must battle bulges during the New Year, as in the old. You can't resolve to be an ti-social and sit in a corner at parties and festive dinners. But everytime you open that mouth to talk, seems the host ess insists on popping some calorie-laden thing into it. How to brake the habit! Stick by good dieting prin ciples. It's better to be care ful now than plump later. Play down foods which add inches at a gallop. Substitute others with fewer calories. Every munch counts in this waistline war. For the main course, avoid fatty meats-pork, duck, goose or ham. Choose roast beef, turkey or chicken-sans sweet and fattening sauces. Leave the drum sticks for children. White meat is lower in calories than dark. There's less to be "gained" from seasonal dishes such as fresh cranberry ' sauce and chestnuts than from candied yams dripping in calories. Fresh Salad Gcod Fresh green salads are al ways good, if you shy from Perfect Hostess Defined By Experts in NewYork By GAY PAULEY New York (UPD As the holiday season ends and we brace for the long recovery physically and financially, let us look again at what it takes to be the "perfect hos tess." As I understand from the experts who write those guides to gracious entertain ing, the perfect hostess re mains calm, cool and collect ed no matter what the crisis She entertains 12 for dinner with the serenity with which she sews on a button. Also, I've decided, she was born with what one observer call ed the "mental quickness of a Groucho Marx and the phy sical agility of a flea. I confess I lack the knack. But then, have the experts ever faced what the rest of us do when company comes? Especially those of us who work in small kitchens and without servants? Problems like stowing the dirty dishes from the first course while trying to serve the second. Like fuses blown because of too many electrical applianc es all going at once. Must Plan Ahead What does the un-harried hostess do as darkness settles over the household? Light the candles, I guess the ex perts would say. Candlelight is flattering to complexions Warren Wendts Visitors in City Mr. and Mrs. Warren Wendt and three children of San Diego are guests at the home of Mr. Wendt's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Chester Wendt, Old Stage rd. They plan to return south Jan. 2. Christmas dinner guests at the Wendts' home also in cluded their son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Lon Skinner, and children. Return Mr. and Mrs. Paul Rynning, 16 Rose ave., returned Sun day from a week's stay with relatives in Portland. tomato sauce, lamb curry, but onions, beef stew or lobster ring use 1 tablespoon salt, medium egg noodles (about rapidly boiling water. Gradually ingredients; mix well. Press into Bake in moderate oven (350 until firm. Unmold and fill as the rich dressings and sauces. Vote for oil, vinegar, tomato or similar slim toppings. Radishes, celery, c a r r o sticks, pickles and relish are more slimming than olives. Stand by the clear soups, use blinders where creamy ones are concerned. Cocktail hour and between meal tidbitting can be calorie- cheap and delicious. Feast on boiled shrimp and lobster. crab meat or oysters. You can conserve calories by switching to ' artificial sweeteners for coffee and tea Maybe the hostess will serve low-calorie desserts too, to help you along. Danger lurks in the dinner party that's way past the usual eating time. Hard-to- control hunger pangs may drag you weak and helpless to the refrigerator before it's time to start for the party. Check With Doctor To reinforce calorie control check with a doctor about the use of appetite suppressants A new one does not stimulate the central nervous system, Medical reports indicate it can be taken at night and does not disturb sleeping later on. On the drinking side, re member that most cocktails run-over - with calories. Dry red or white wine, mixed with soda water, as a "spritzer" will last a long sipping time with out supplying too many cal ories. even if the cook can't see. As advised, I planned ahead for a holiday party. Menu written down, right to the last olive. List of dishes and silverware needed: Work schedule for preparing each portion of the meal was post ed. Turkey to go in oven five hours before the guests were due . . . rolls in pan and ready to go in oven 20 min utes before serving time. There is one trouble. I was lost without plan in hand And it's rather difficult to consult a work schedule in the kitchen while mingling with guests in the living room. Invite only as many peo ple as you can accommodate comfortably, they say, be cause a small party usually is more fun than a big one. Also I've found it's cheaper. Another gem of advice: In vite congenial people. But de termining congeniality is something they don't advise in. How is " the hostess to know that, one usually de lightful couple has just had a spat and each arrives about as congenial as a barracuda! Water The Drinks Don't let the party get out of hand. If necessary, start watering the drinks. Well, most imperfect hostesses know that the guests know when the drinks are being watered and they seem to re sent this thoughtful little ges ure. If the party begins to bog, liven it up with new records or "even start a political ar gument," said one sage. Rec ords, maybe. But political ar guments no, unless you want the neighbors calling the cops. After a session of listening to experts, I'm ready to let the amateurs tell me how to throw the next party. Well, have fun as you throw the last fling for '58, and remeber that hospitality once was defined as "mak ing your guests feel at home even when you really wish they were." Encourage Gir Speaker Tells Science Service Washington Science Service-Only two per cent of the babies born are potential gen iuses who might be tomor row's top " flight scientists. Half of these potential gen iuses are girls. These facts must be digest ed by employers and the pub lic if we are to solve the im portant problem of the status of American women scien tists. Mrs. Ethaline Cortelyou, literary analyst for the Arm- Fats in Diet Undergo Change Champaign, 111. (UPD - Diet conscious Americans eat the same amount of fat as 20 years ago. But now the fat is different and comes from dif ferent foods. A recent agriculture de partment study showed that last year, for all our low-cal-oried foods, we ate 45 pounds of food fats and oils per per son, the same amount as from 1935 to 1939. A University of Illinois foods specialist, Geraldine Acker, quoting from the sur vey, said that today's average diet contains more margarine, cooking and salad oils, and more mayonnaise and salad dressings than in meals in the 1930's. Today's consumer gets much more soybean oil in food, plus a little more edible beef fat, corn, olive and pea nut oils. The biggest change is the increased use of soybean oil, mainly since 1942. This oil now accounts for one-third of the total food fats and oils consumed by Americans, Miss Acker pointed out. On the other hand, the av erage American eats less milk fat (butter), less pork fat (lard), and less cottonseed oil. - Changes Made In Men's Suits United Press International California designers have made some changes in men's suits. Several firms show suit coats without breast pockets. White casual jackets have dark piping at triple breast pocket and front opening. Navy jackets have white pip ing, shallow shoulders and pocket tucks. Fur trimmings are here for a banner season, reports Wom en's Wear Daily, a tradepub- lication. All pelts are popular from racoon to sable. There's a new interest in long haired furs, such as lynx, and red and black fox. The shell pump and t-strap are major silhouettes for little girls' dress shoes. New detail ing gives the shoes a different look this year. Popular are the laced look with a graceful tie, the up-front trim and bib effect, side detailing, and del icate treatment of straps Some shoes feature lacing al most to the toe and straps reaching close to the ankle. Evening coats promise to be big for spring The silhouette is dramatic extremely full sometimes with horizontal panels of puckered silk Colors are bold, from bright yellow to orange Many coats are lined with silk or satin print ed to match a theatre dress. A flirtatious note from Paris: A black mask at the end of a short stick. French women use the mask like a fan. Lt. Gary Newton Returns South Ashland Lt.

Dairymen to Attend Meeting in Gearheart Valley dairymen Victor Birdseye and Don Green are expected to be among those attending the' 65th annual meeting of the Oregon Dairy men s Association, Inc. in Gearhart Jan. 7 and 8. Birds- eye is a director. : Topics to be discussed will include dairy promotion and advertising, agricultural laws, water conservation and "Ore gon's dairy industry ques tions." Use chablis wine for half the liquid when making scrambled eggs. Serve on hot buttered toast sprinkled with grated Parmesan cheese. These holiday eggs make a good evening snack. We Give GREEN STAMPS CENTRAL REXALL DRUG Main and Central Is in Science Association our Research Foundation in Chicago, told a meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science here today. As the earliest step, little girls should be encouraged in whatever interest they show in tools, machinery and in sects and should never he teased for being "tomboys." More girls must be persuad ed to undertake the long and difficult training necessary for professional scientific car eers. To do this, colleges must make girl science majors wel come, not "sadistically set about making the course an obstacle course for the few hardy girls who persist de spite discouragement," said Mrs. Cortelyou. When a woman scientist temporarily retires to raise her family, it should be made both possible and attractive for her to return to her pro fessional work. The greatest increase in the number of working women has and will come from this ctoud of wom en 35 to 54 years of age, Mrs. Cortelyou found. 4 Costume Party Holiday Event Mr. and Mrs. William V.

The Fashionette FEW In s3 L ALLIES' READY-TO-WEAR Champion Float Builder White-Haired Grandmother Pasadena, Calif. (UPI)-Ask anyone around Pasadena this time of year. Isabella Cole man's other name is "Mrs. Rose Parade" as suits the undisputed champion of float designers and builders. The trim, white -haired grandmother has been decor ating floats for the Tourna ment of Roses for 55 years. She's back at it again this year. Her "side-line" nets her about $20,0.00 a year. She won her first major prize in 1910 and has been at it ever since, missing not a year. Her floats have .rolled off with more awards than those of anyone else in the 69-year history of the New Year's Day tournament. . "To most people, a float is a vehicle decorated with flow ers," explains Mrs. Coleman. "But to me, a prize winner must be a stage of wheels. "The floats are judged by a group of fine artists and de signers. We try to second guess them when we plan and construct our floats, which cost up to $25,000.. "You can be a judge, too, if you know what to look for on your television screen or along the parade route. The three basic points of an award winner are simplicity of de sign, beauty of flowers, and how the float fits into the ov erall parade therile." Mrs. Coleman works almost 12 hours a day to incorporate these points in four floats. One is a giant spectacular for Occidental Life, which hopes to capture its third grand prize. Following the stageon wheels concept, the 55-foot long float will be covered with 350,000 blosoms, ranging from $2.50 orchids to, roses, naturally.

But long before the 1959 parade is over, Mrs. Coleman will be "worrying about her floats for the next year. Family Returns From Corvallis .
