iAnhual Dinner
iGroup Recalls
The annual St. Patrick's
ham dinner will be given by
St. Ann's Altar society o
; Sacred Heart parish Sunday
; afternoon, March 1.
: The dinner, traditionally
.served the Sunday closest to
t ; St. Patrick's day, is being
; moved ahead this year be
cause of the early date of
; Easter.
J. Mrs. Elmer Ness, president
of the Altar society, has an-
nounced that co-chairmen for
the affair are Mrs. John Mans-
; field and Mrs. I. P. Gonzales,
'Mrs. Sherman Feiss and Mrs.
Clem Joyer, co-chairmen of
last year's dinner, are assist
ing in an advisory capacity
While the usual St. Patrick
theme is being preserved
throughout the planning for
this year's event, according
to committee members the
Oregon Centennial celebra
tion.
Some 40 years ago, before
the present Sacred Heart
church was built, it became
the yearly custom for the
Altar society to serve a ham
dinner, with sweet potatoes
and pumpkin pie, to the com
munity on St. Patrick's day.
After a few years the tradi
tional date became the Sun
day nearest the feast of St,
Patrick.
Incidents Recalled
Many incidents have been
recalled by the women who
remember those early dinners,
s-Mne humorous and some
nearly disastrous. The green
whipped cream on Mrs. Frank
Applegate's pumpkin pie
caused quite a sensation on
one occasion. And cooking on
one small stove in a too-small
parish hall always presented
problems. Much of the pre
paration - was done in the
kitchen of the rectory; or food
was cooked in the homes of
the parishioners, then warmed
up In the rectory and finally
transported, often through
heavy rains, to the tables in
.the parish hall.
Attendance at these din
ners steadily increased
throughout the years as fa
cilities improved and it be
came possible to handle the
larger crowds. But the oc
casion was recalled when one
; zealous member of : the so
ciety sold so many tickets that
customers were lined up far
along the street and finally
it was necessary, to refund
their money with embarrass
ment because there was

Women Drivers Vote
For Smaller Cars
. New York -(UPD- Women
drivers want to improve the
safety and comfort of auto
mobiles, a survey shows.
Suburban homemakers told
Professional Research Associ
ates that they want smaller
cars, but with plenty of com
fort and room. They-also vo
ed for such safety features
as padded dashboards, col
lapsible steering wheels and
safety belts.
Only seven per cent of wo
men interviewed said they
had no major driving com
plaint. The biggest problem
too few and too small park
ing places.
Dream Kitchens
Chicago - (UPD - Researchers
asked homemakers about
their dream kitchens and got
a surprise. The women are
more interested in realistic
space-saving devices and
cooking units than in gadgets.
One and a half -million
women in 19 cities participat
ed in the study of examining
nine advanced kitchen de
signs. And then, naturally,
they spok their minds.

Doctor's Fees
Like Other "Living Costs
By PATRICIA McCORMACK
United Press International
New York - (UPD - Doctors'
fees like . other living costs,
have- soared.
New Jersey physicians
charged only $7.50 to deliver
a baby - in 1784.
About the same time," a
doctor would dress a wound
and "take one stitch" for a
dollar in New Hampshire. Ad
ditional stitches cost 25 cents
apiece.
A pioneer doctor in Ban
gor, Maine, would call at your
home for $1. But if you lived
more than one mile from his
office, he'd" charge extra at
the rate of 50 cents a mile.
The bargain rates didn't
last, according tp accounts in
"Medical America," published
by a drug firm, Shering. The
reason: Doctors faced "in
creased living costs and de
preciation of currency value."
Education Was Cheap
The cost of seeing a doctor
hit an all-time high in Cali
fornia during the gold rush.
Office calls were $32, up from
S5 before the gold fever.
When the rush was going full
tilt, a doctor called to a pa
tient's home at night expect
ed $100.
Medical education, accord
ing to the historians, was dirt
cheap in the good old days.
Buffalo Medical college, for
example, charged $150 for a
"medical education ticket" in
1885. It was good for as many
courses as the student de
sired to attend or needed for
graduation.
Tuition at a medical school
operated by a Paul Micheau
in New Jersey in 1790 was
even cheaper. He gave one
lecture a day for two months,
charging $25 for the full
course.
Different, too, were "rem
edies" in the pioneer days.
Around 1840, according to
historians of the Oregon Medi
cal society, "bleeding checked
itself when cobwebs were ap
plied." Other remedies:
Praise Pioneer Doctors
"Poultices concocted of
wheat, flour and salt. Whiskey
was universally used. Sun
flower seed soaked in spirits
for 12 hours and taken in
ternally was used for rheu
matism. "For insect bites and
stings, mud was applied. On
ion syrup was used for chil
dren's colds."
Historians sing the praises
Of pioneer doctors, too.
One of the heroes, Dr. Ed
mund Strudwick, of North
Carolina, performed a com
plicated life-saving operation
on an acutely ill patient dur
ing the 1800's. At the time,
Dr.. Strudwick's leg was
broken - and unset.
In Danville, Kl., around
the same time, Dr. Ephriam
McDowell surgically removed

Nylon Hose Celebrates
Twentieth Anniversary
By GAY PAULEY
UPl Women's Editor
New York'- (UPD - This
month marks the 20th birth
day of the greatest boon to
feminine legs since skirts
moved off the floor.
Nylon stocks first went on
sales in February, 1939.
Today, we take the syn
thetic fiber for granted, not
only for our stockings, but for
lingerie, other apparel for the
Lwhole family, and an in
finite variety of uses from
toothbrushes to tires.
It has not always been so.
Some of us are ancient enough
to remembering owning our
first pair of, nylon hose
around 1940, and also to re
call that just as we were get
ting used to them on our
gams, the fiber went to war.
The result was hardly panic;
we just reverted to stockings
from an even older synthetic
fiber - rayon. Silk had be
come a casualty too; and em
bargo on its import went into
effect in August, 1941.
They Were Precious
But we repaired and cod
dled any nylons we owned.

wards offered for the lost
half of a pair? Or, the stories,
of long queues of women, and
sometimes men, which form
ed when a store got a pre
cious supply?
E.-I. DuPont de Nemours
and company, which develop
ed the fiber, leafed through
some of its scrapbooks from
those war years and uncover
ed one plaintive letter from
a lovesick youth who asked
for just one pair of nylons to
cinch his engagement. "The
value of the nylons will be
equal to, and perhaps cherish
ed more, than any diamond 1
could obtain for her now," he
wrote. DuPont doesn't recall
whether it helped Dan Cupid's
cause by supplying a pair of
hose.
The company's researcers
first announced development
of the test-tube fiber in Octo
ber, 1938. The first full-fashioned
hosiery from it went ow
sale to DuPont employees,
February 20, 1939, with a
girl's purchase limited to two
pairs.
Much Sheerer Today
' The hose first were shown
to the public at the San Fran
cisco World's Fair in Febr
uary of the same year; but
the first public sale was in
October, 1939, to shoppers of
Wilmington, Del., headquar
ters for DuPont. By May 15,
1940, nylons were selling na
tionally. Today, DuPont and hosiery
manufacturers both battle an
other "myth" - that nylons
nowadays don't wear as well
as the pre-war ones. But they
explain that most of today's
nylons are much more sheered
than the early ones. The cus
tomer who demands gossamer
weight even for general
wear, they say, can't expect
the same "life" she would get
from heavier stockings.
The DuPont files include a
story on how a nylon rush
clogged telephone lines in the
nation s caDital in January,
1946. A radio announcer said
that a chain of shoe stores
had 1,900 pairs of nylons and
the first 1,000 telephone call
ers would get them
The result: Complete dis
ruption of the capital's tele
phone service for an hour.
