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

these days. .

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.

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.

Fiji Beetle Drive
Stalled by Birds
Suva, Fiji -WD- Fiji's at
tack on the rhinoceros beetle,
the main threat to its copra
crop, stalled a bit here recent
ly when the bul-bul bird dem
onstrated that the balance of
nature is fairly rigid.
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.

Western Bounty
We westerners have cause
for giving thanks throughout
the year for our bounty of
fresh foods from farms, gar

per abundance of good things
at peak of the harvest season.
Name it and we grow it . .
and that means that prices are

are special on turkeys and
chickens of all" sizes. There
also are capons, caponettes,
ducks and geese for the choos

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

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

cent pf the crop coming from
Oregon where soil and climate

to their growing needs.

long played a stellar role in
the culinary world. They add
