Games Help Children On Trips New York - Many forces have joined strength and in genuity to make traveling with children a pleasure to day. It is the rare parent who cannot find pleasure in taking children on trips, short or long, if preliminary prepara tions utilize the information and advice available on keep ing children trip-happy.' Restaurant owners the length and breadth of Amer ica provide special meals for children at economy prices Many restaurant chains have gone to the expense of print ing appealingly decorated children's menus. Many rail roads have followed suit. Often, parents are amazed to see children drink milk from decorated cups after refusing to drink milk at home. Poor eaters will love artistically served vegetables after" refus plainer versions back home. After innumerable requests from parents, game experts Selchow and Righter tackled the problem of how to travel with children and pique their interest while keeping them from getting restless. The gist of their findings is that par ents should travel with a va riety of games-games for the entire family; stimulating travel, .games about places they may visit en route; and a special group for very lit tle children. A classic family game is parcheesi, popular for 92 years. There's scrabble, and scrabble for juniors (quite new), especially good for in clement weather that keeps families hotel or motel bound. New Game A brand-new game is "pea nuts", with moves that pro vide - chances for' hilarous laughter by the whole family. "Meet tha Presidents" is ideal for a family visiting the national capitol. The game has a giant spinner with 128 ques tions about American presi dents (a chance for kids to stump the grownups!). Play is on a full 'color map board of tha U.S.A. A game which will intrique dad and - mother as well as children is "Dead Pan". This is a real test of wits. For the small children there is a brand-new game called "Three Little Pigs", based on the old fable. There's a gim mick which permits the chil dren to scream "puff-puff" during play, an ideal way to let off steam when restless. McDonald's farm game is per fect when traveling through rural areas. List Endless The list of games is seem ingly endless. Selchow and Righter offer a simple test parents can apply to help se lection: pick games that are a happy balance between skill and chance and watch for advice, usually on the cov er, for what age groups the games are intended. Roadside restaurants and railroads have made travel with infants a pleasure by providing special baby rooms. Infants may be fed and tend ed in clean, attractive sur roundings while mother takes a refresher and relaxes. And clothing manufacturers seem to have moved in con cert to make travel delight to children; they have design ed comfortable clothes in drip- dry fabrics that require a min imum of care. Right along with the rest of travel-conscious America, are the hotel and motel owners. For a very small charge they will provide folding cots to put in parents' rooms. This makes for economy and peace of mind, for parents can thus have the children near them. Auxiliary Sessions were held at the Marion hotel, Salem, with election and installation of officers Saturday, June 27. Mrs. James Lillie, Medford, a past department commander, was installing officer.

Bridal Bouquet New York- (UPD -Careful what flowers go into the bridal bouquet. Tradition has it that tulips mean infidelity and yellow flowers mean jealousy.

Downstairs at -Medford Pharmacy Wear" Magnets Used For Earrings; Cliches on Hats New York - (UPD - No more aching ears from clip and screw-type earrings, thanks to an Italian jewelry designer.

To .DreDare. wash fruit thoroughly and hull and crush berries or grind tree fruits. Measure two cups crushed or ground fruit and 1 cup of the liquid pectin into kettle and mix well. Add two cups sugar and blend mixture thoroughly to dissolve sugar. Some tart fruits, such as red raspberries and loganberries, may be tart enough to jell the fruit, but other fruits will need lemon juice. The amount of lemon juice to add ranges from V to vz cup, depending on the kind of fruit. ' First, try adding Vx cup lemon juice, mix well. If tex ture and tartness is satisfac tory, do not add more lemon juice. If it is not firm enough, add V cup more lemon juice, but no fruit needs more than z cup. Fruit will jell immediately when the proper amount of lemon juice is added and it is then ready for shortcake, or will keep for weeks in the re frigerator. It also can be frozen in regular freezing con tainers and'will retain its per fect texture and fresh fruit flavor when thawed. The recipe may be doubled or tripled with the same re sults. 1 Iron With Care Columbus -OJPD-The combi nation fabrics of dacron with rayon, cotton or wool all re quire extra ironing care, says Edna Akers, clothing special ist at Ohio State university. Although the fabrics look and feel like wool, they should be pressed with an iron set at the rayon setting- 250 to 300 degrees. Pressure on the fabric should be light, and the iron should be in con tact with the, fabric for the shortest possible time. Remember that the" fabric should be pressed on the wrong side. If it is necessary to press on the right side, use a dry press cloth. 988 Up as Actress daughter.
