Americans Said Marrying Younger Than in Gay '90s Washington (CPU Ameri cans are marrying younger in life than they did in the gay 90a. And the age gap also is narrowing. The Census Bureau says . that general prosperity, great er job security and wider practice of birth control ac count for the drop in the aver age age of brides and bride grooms. - The bureau said the median age for men at their first mar riage dropped from 26.1 years in 1890 to 22.3 years in 1959. For women, the median age declined from 22.0 in 1890 to 20.2 this year. Percentage Declining 'Partly as a result of this trend, the percentage of bach elors and old maids also has been declining steadily, the government said. In 1890, half of the males over 21 years old were mar ried. In 1959, seven out of 10 In this age group were married. The ratio of mar ried women changed froni one out of two to two out of three during the same 60-year period. . The report said the average bridegroom was about four years older than his wife at the turn of the century but , only has a two-year seniority these days. . 3fcY SEND CONDOLENCES Tokyo (tJPD - The Laotian rebels and Communist North Viet Nam have sent con dolences to Laos on the death of King Sisavang Vong, the Viet Nam news agency re ported today.

Here's How the Bees Dealt With an Intruder Within the hive of a nor mal bee-colony is a detail of workers whose sole duty it is to keen the interior im maculately clean at all times, These workers are busy around the clock removing foreign matters and seeing to it that nothing objectionable is present to contain inate the inside air or foul the premises. Close observation of the narrow opening of a beehive reveals workers, from time to time. Bushing and pulling dead bee or some otner ma terial to the outer edge of the landing platform and onto the ground. Death is constant lv occurring in the colony: bees die from old age. from some injury or from over work. Some are bees from otn er colonies who are killed by the guards and dumped by the workers over the side. This nart of bee life is easy to see as we observed by taking a strange bee, marking it with a dot of dye and introducing it Into a hive. It is always very evident too, that the bee doesn t want to go in. it seems to know what will hap- Den to it. Shortly after forcing the strange bee inside, its body is brought out and dumped Careful examination of the body shows the insedt was stung to death.

Duff City Manager. fsi Top pie for superlative holi included in today's food col Small Worlds Around Us By Lynn M. Walkins on the established workings of the hive, we decided on what the bees would consider a "diabolical plot." We want ed to see just how far the "casting . out" instinct would extend itself. We decided to introduce something that should disrupt the highly or ganized society of the swarm and at the same time satisfy ourselves that there were times when the busy bee would have to consider itself licked. We found a dead mouse Carefully we raised one cor ner of the hive and place the body inside. The weather was warm; decomposition would soon take place, prompting some sort of drastic action on the part of the bees. We took up our position where we could, watch the hive en trance. Nothing happened ex cept what seemed to be a high-pitched hum. The bees came and went as usual. The clean-up detail appeared sev eral times, throwing dead bees overside. The form of the mouse did not appear at the entrance. No fur. or flesh showed up. We knew the bees could not force the mouse out of the narrow opening but we could see no shadow of it near the entrance. Still in Dark The rhythm of the swarm continued its regular beat. We sniffed at the hive. There was not the slightest odor. Carefully we raised one edge of the hive. We could see the body of the mouse, right where we had placed it a week ago. With a wire we pulled it out, eased the hive back in place and looked at the strangely changed car cass. There was no odor. It was completely encased in a hermetically tight crypt of beeswax. The body seemed to be in an early stage of mum mification. Once again the "wisdom of the bees" had made a monkey out of man's effort to understand. Once again - we realized there are more and greater things on this earth than man can. ex plain with all his philosophy.

It all began when scientists discovered a certain species of wasp which preys on the lar vae of the beetle. So huge quantities of wasps were im ported and set to work on the beetles. But then the bul-bul bird got to work on the wasps. According to a recent gov ernment report o n t h e cam paign, the bul-bul bird turn ed out to be a natural enemy of the wasp, just as the wasp is a natural enemy of the beetle. Now steps are being taken to protect the wasps from the bul-bul so they can get at the beetle, as ordered.

Feeding the Family By ZOLA Food Give Thanks For Western Bounty We westerners have cause for giving thanks throughout the year for our bounty of fresh foods from farms, gar dens, orchards and. coastal waters. This year, there's su per abundance of good things at peak of the harvest season. Name it and we grow it . . and that means that prices are reasonable because of lower shipping costs. . Poultry. Pleniifuls. Prices are special on turkeys and chickens of all" sizes. There also are capons, caponettes, ducks and geese for the choos ing. Other Meals. Pork roasts and prime ribs of beef will vie for Thanksgiving table honors. Legs of lamb will be popular in many households. All offer wonderful week-end eating, sliced cold one day, in "planned-over" dishes an other. Nut Harvest. Record crops of coast-grown almonds, wal nuts, and filberts put them on every shopping list for ta ble arrangements, nut bowls, many recipe ingredient pur poses. Pacific Coast Oysters. These lead Thanksgiving parade of shellfish for poultry stuffing and for the making of savory stews. Plenty of shrimp, crab- meat, spmy lobsters. Fall Fruits. Apples, both red and golden. Great bunches of luscious grapes with Em perors and Malagas predom inating. Plenty of avocados and newly arrived Anjou, Co- mice and Bosc pears. Dramat ic promegranates and persim mons alongside the citrus fruits. vegetables. You'll want sweet potatoes or yams, plen ty of long white potatoes, onions for creaming, turnips, squash and of course celery and lots of salad greens." Poultry Pointers For Bird Watchers Traditionally,, no one will deny, Thanksgiving day is turkey day and chances are that more families will be en joying turkey than any other meat even though we have it readily available at reason able cost throughout the year. Others will find eating pleasure in ducks, geese, fryer-broilers, roasting chickens, stewing chickens. Whichever you're looking for, read the label. For roast ing, broiling, frying or barbe cuing, choose a young bird. Words on labels indicating young birds with tender meat and delicate flavor and print ed on packaging such as film wraps and boxes or on paper inserts or wing tags, are these: Broiler or fryer (chicken or duckling); Fryer or Roaster (turkey); Roaster, Capon, Ca ponette (chicken), Y o u n g Hen, Young Tom. . Roasting (turkey); Young duck or goose). For creamed chicken or turkey, for salad or other in gredient use, choose a mature bird for firmer meat and fuller flavor when cooked. Words indicating mature birds are: Stewing Chicken, Hen, (chicken); Hen, Tom, Yearling (turkey); Mature (ducks, geese). Poultry Care. Loosen any tight transparent films on fresh-chilled poultry; refrig-j erate promptly and use with-! in a few days. Frozen Poultry. Keep froz en poultry hard-frozen until time to thaw. Best way to thaw frozen turkey is to al low it to stand at room tem perature about 9 hours for! THE OLD CROW DISTILLERY CO, VINCENT Editor birds under 12 pounds and 12-15 hours for heavier birds. Storage After Cooking: Keep cooked poultry, broth, stuffings and gravy that are left over after first serving covered and in the refrigera tor. All are perishable. Stuff ing should be removed from bird before storage. Use all within a few days, unless it is frozen for later use. Packaged Stuffings For Poultry Popular Everyone in our part of the country knows how to roast turkey because we do it the year round. When it comes to stuffing the Thanksgiving tur key, many families will waive all suggestions for something different. For them, the nos talgic menu is treasured and that is a very satisfying thing. Others will turn just as eagerly to one of the .several ready-to-use stuffings' which have grown tremendously in popularity in recent years These seem to have captured the flavor inherent in home toasting of bread, measuring and "seasoning." We seriously doubt if any homemade recipe ever came out twice exactly the same way because of temptations to add a little of this or that. Same thing is true of pack aged stuffing. The packaged kind at least starts out the same way consistently; then lends itself to countless varia tions. Many variations are printed in good size type on the package. All are subject to the cook's whim such as a nostalgic feeling for oysters or sausages or nuts or whatever.- There's an all-purpose ready-to-use dressing and there's an old southern corn bread stuffing and a melba toasted type. All are equally good for turkey, chicken, goose, duck, rabbit, pork ribs, pork chops or any, other use you can think of where the recipe calls for stuffing. Tempting Pomegranates If you're looking for some thing slightly spectacular for your holiday fruit bowl or as glamour touch for garnishing fruit cups, desserts or salads, try pomegranates. Inside the rind, you'll find a luscious layer of pulp which contains an abundance of ruby-red seeds which , make delicious eating. When buy- ing; select those that are pink or red in color, heavy for their size and with fresh-looking compact crown. Plentiful Filberts Make Fine Eating Row upon row in all direc tions, filbert trees march in measured cadence along the banks of the peaceful Willam ette River in Oregon. This green valley at the base of Mount Hood is the largest fil bert producing area in the United States; an Industry that literally grew from a nut shell to one of the four major domestic nut crops of today. Filberts are the "32nd cou sin" of the hazelnut. You'll find today's filberts much im proved over their honored an cestors which are still grow ing wild in many parts of the United States. Commercial fil berts are grown only in the Pacific Northwest with 90 per cent pf the crop coming from Oregon where soil and climate conditions are ideally suited to their growing needs. Filbert Uses.
