4 Two sisters, Mrs. Hattie Anderson, (right) route 1, box 23A, Jacksonville, and Mn. Maggie Day, Everett, Wash., meet for the first time in Everett. The sisters are 20 years apart in age, Mrs. Day having married and left home prior to Mrs. Anderson's birth. (Daily Herald, Everett, Wash., photo) Sisters Hold First Meeting Jacksonville - Mrs. Hattie Anderson, route 1, box 23 A, returned Friday evening from a visit in Everett, Wash., where she visited her sister, Mrs. Maggie Day-a sister she was seeing for the first time. Mrs. Anderson was the youngest of ten children and was born after Mrs. Day, the eldest, had married and left home. Although the two wo men kept in touch with other members of the family they did not start corresponding until two years ago. Mrs. Day moved from Minnesota to Washington recently to make her home with a son and Mrs. Anderson planned the trip north to visit her.

They were enroute to Washington where they plan to make their fu ture home. ed in Everett she wore red accessories and a gray fur coat, clothing she had previ ously told her sister she would wear, so they would recog nize each other. Mrs. Day had sent Mrs. Anderson a photo graph of herself. During their two week visit, the sisters, both widows, talk ed about their families and grandchildren. Mrs. Day has eight children, 32 grandchil dren, 38 great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild. Mrs. Anderson is the mother of two children, Charles Anderson, Jackson ville, and Mrs. Elbert (Dar lene) Wayne, Waukegan, 111., and five grandchildren. Americans are spending 22 billion dollars a year for med ical services, according to a survey by the Chase Man hattan Bank. This is double the 1950 amount and six and a half times the 1929 figure. Blinds Said Decorative, Utilitarian By JOYCE SCHULLER United Press International Chicago - (UPD - Venetian blinds can be decorative as well as utilitarian. Five interior designers, commissioned by the Venetian Blind Institute, set out to prove it by using blinds as design elements in room set tings. Everett Brown used Vene tian blinds to create a "quiet room." He ran extra-wide slat blinds that close out light completely from the ceiling to the floor of a window wall and placed four bamboo poles in front of the blinds at even intervals. Ethyl G. Alper used Vene tian blinds only on the lower half of a row of windows. On the upper half,-she hung flor al brocade Roman shades. The white blinds were gold-spattered to blend with the shades. In a modern room design by Mallory-Tillis, a slanting window wall had white blinds threaded with black tapes. The blind-covered wall made a background for statuary. Two other designers did not limit Venetian blinds to windows. John Fitzgibbons brought a gazebo, or summer house, indoors by hanging three blinds between four floor-to-ceiling posts a few feet from a row of windows. The arrangement created an alcove for statuary, plants, and a rustic bench to break the monotony and add archi tectural interst to a square apartment living room. The institute suggested similar use of blinds to divide a room or create a dressing corner or breakfast nook. The designing firm of Man ashaw and Daggett created the most unusual effect with blinds - across a ceiling. This use is recommended for con verted basements. Lighting above the blinds, can be reg ulated in intensity by fully opening or partially closing the blinds. .

OPPORTUNITY DAYS COURTESY CHEVROLET 9th & Bartlett Medford See Our Ad in Classified Professor's Thesis Material Used by Medical Quarterly Ashland An article by Dr. Ruth E. B e b b e r, associate professor of physical educa tion at Soutern Oregon col lege, has been published in the winter- volume of the medical quarterly "Clinical Physiology." The writing is an exerpt from Dr. Bebber's thesis for her doctoral degree from the department of education, Uni versity of Southern Califor nia, and was inspired from clinical observations by Dr. Francis M. Pottenger Jr., M.D., Monrovia, Calif., assist ant clinical professor of ex perimental medicine. Dr. Bebber's subject, "The Relative Influence of the Ac tivity of Artificial and Breast Feeding on Facial Develop ment" was chosen as a scienti fic study to follow up the ob servations by Dr. Pottenger which indicated a relationship between facial development and infant feeding methods. The study was proposed to investigate the relative effects of human nursing and artifi cial feeding on the growth and development of the width of the face. Dr. Bebber used X-rays taken from a basal po sition of the head of the 340 subjects of the study for com parative measurements. She used this information, knowl edge of the number of months on the type of feeding, plus the sex of the subjects to de termine the strength of the relationships of the two me thods of feeding. Her findings in this study led her to conclude that an in fant gets more exercise from nursing than from bottle feed ing, and that this exercise so stimulates the malar promi nences that growth in the width of the face is greater than in the artificially fed in fant. Also the study revealed that the methods of feeding were not equally effective in the growth and development of the malar prominences of the face. Dr. Bebber main tained that the two sets of data are independent and sig nificantly different, and can not be explained by chance. "It is apparent from these results that children who are bottle fed do not have opti mum development of the fa cial region when the decidu ous and permanent teeth are being erupted, although most people over twenty-five have fairly well developed malar prominences, regardless of whether or not they were nursed as infants," Dr. Beb ber concludes. quitting busiq'ess SALE IS STILL IN PROGRESS FINAL DAYS FOR RARE BARGAINS HURRY WHILE THERE IS STILL A SELECTION OF MEN'S, WOMEN'S, CHILDREN'S SHOES. GDDSCOTMT SHOE OUTLET 3422 No. Pacific Highway 99 A MILE NORTH OF THE BIG Y-ACROSS FROM ELK LUMBER MILL mm Potpourri celebrated the Chinese New Year Thursday. This festival has always intrigued ye editor, and when it also means, an excellent Chinese dinner, then it is truly a celebration. Pappy and Potpourri, along with six or seven other couples, were guests of Henry Fong and his head chef, Lee Sheu, for a dinner at Kim's. In spite of the fact that the staff of the restaurant had served the usual clientele during the day, plus a large luncheon which honored Senator Wayne Morse, Mr. Sheu, known to everyone as Canton, turned out a delightful menu for his special guests. We feasted on shrimp cooked in a catsup sauce, pine apple sweet and sour pork ribs, sweet and sour shrimp, with a ginger sauce, a vegetable dish with celery, delicate pea pods and chestnuts, chicken cooked American style and various other delectables. The guests not only "licked the platters clean" at our table, but wandered into the other dining room and sampled some of the tidbits which had been placed around the restaurant's household goddess, Kwan Yin. It is one of the old Chinese traditions that special offerings be placed before the household goddess at midnight on the eve of the new year. Hairdressers Name Style In Mrs. Nixon's Honor whether female hairdressers MA,L TRIBUNE, Medford, Or.. Q dressed their own hair. Sund.y, Jen. 31, 1960 AJ By DICK WEST United Press International Washington (UPD - It looks like the nation's hair styling experts have given up trying to make American girls look like Italian boys. I got a peek at the latest hair fashions at a "sneak pre view" of spring and summer styles for 1960 as drafted by the National Haid Dressers and Cosmetologists associa tion. This is the outfit that dic tates the way ladies should ar range their hair. Since men, as onlookers, have vested in terest in the matter, I felt it my duty to see what was in the wind. On the whole, it was an encouraging premier. Mrs. Richard Nixon, wife of the vice president, was there, as were the wives of a goodly number of senators. So were about a dozen beautiful mod els. The association announced that one of the new hair styles had been named the "Pat-Tress" in Mrs. Nixon's honor. I couldn't tell what her present style is because her hat was too big. It seemed to me that the committee is getting conserv ative. I saw nothing that re sembled an Italian boy or even a French poodle. That Italian boy fad was one I never could understand. If an American girl wants to look Italian, I say she ought to look like an Italian girl, j say Gina Lollobrigida. , I also was happy to note i that the recent upswept, or Swiss Alp, hair style, which required that all locks be piled on top of the head, is being toned down. To quote from the associa tion's press release, "The top will have natural height to suit the individual. Hair will be dressed in a natural flow of soft draped waves, drifting with its natural growth direc tion. Its silhouette will be less bouffant than in previous sea sons, with an almost total ab sence of forced support of back-combing." I don't know exactly what this means, but on the models it looked good. As for color, the association has decreed that "the brownette has def initely returned to the fa shion scene." Some of the ladies in the audience, most of whom were professional haird ressers, hadn't gotten the message yet. I say one coiffure that was tinted, so help me, pinkish orange. "What color is that?" I asked a lady sitting nearby. "Pink champagne," she said. Shuddering, I inquired We had a $6 chicken lunch and then settled back while the models showed us what the association's official hair lj For the Contemporary n -. I HlX M mL PAT NO.

Main Ashland S&H GREEN STAMPS ON ALL CASH PURCHASES Henry and Canton and others of the staff had arranged bowls of rice, preserved fruits, offerings made from rice j flour, fried soy bean curd and other Chinese sweets around the spot where the goddess sits. Henry Fong and Canton explained that this custom is somewhat like the American custom of placing flowers at the feet of statues. Thursday night the smoke from several incense burners curled around the goddess and floated through the rooms of the restaurant. It was explained that the food is customarily placed around the goddess at midnight and remains for the full 24 hours of New Year's day. Henry F. admitted that "I cheated a little" because he had not waited until midnight but arranged the offering earlier. For the Chinese, this is the "Year of the Rat," but some, believing the rat to be a horrible creature, prefer to say the Year of the Mouse. Anyhow, whether mouse or rat, it is the year 4659 on the Chinese calendar. Neither Henry or Canton were quite sure how the animals for the various years were originally chosen. If Potpourri cnrrectlv. there are 12 animal designations and the 12 are used in rotation. Much to our annoyance. the office encyclopedia fails to give any miormauon aouui this. recorded that the Chinese In Portland failed to set off any firecrackers this year, preferring to celebrate the new year more quietly. We didn't hear any firecrackers at Kim's Thursday. One year, however, when the restaurant invited friends for a special new year dinner, Mr. F. sneaked into a corner and fired a few crackers. The sudden noise almost panicked the guests. "Gung Hei Fat Choy". Or, if you want it in English Happy New Year. Anyway, that's what we read in the Port land Oregonian. O.S. College Given Food Fat Resea Corvallis - A three -year study of the chemical com pounds formed when the oxy gen of the air. combines with food fats may lead to new ways of protecting food fla vors and nutrients, a team of Oregon State college agricul tural experiment station sci entists believes. E. A. Day and R. O. Sinn huber, food and dairy tech nologists, will continue basic studies of fat oxidation start ed several years ago at OSC with a new grant of $37,000 from the U.S. department of health, education and wel fare. Fat autoxidation, the com bination of oxygen with fat, affects both the consumer and the food processor. When foods are exposed to air,-oxygen attacks the fats and through a series of reactions rancid flavors develop which destroy natural flavors. Cer tain of the essential nutrients are also lost in the process. As a result, the food becomes un appetizing and less nutritious. OSC scientists emphasize that these food spoilage prob lems are not serious in most foods now on the market be cause food processors have taken the necessary steps to protect foods through proper processing, packaging, and handling. Sometime Serious Autoxidation is serious, Money For rch Project however, they say in the de velopment of new and improv ed foods. In many cases, new and less expensive foods-such as dried whole milk-could be placed on the market if the fat autoxidation could be controlled. Dried whole milk can be processed successfully but on storage, oxygen rapid ly attacks the milk fat and an unnatural flavor develops. There's also a possibility that some of the chemical compounds that develop in highly rancid foods may have harmful effects when eaten, the food technol6gists point out. OSC studies on salmon and mink showed harmful ef fects on the animals when highly rancid fats were in cluded n their diets. First area of OSC research will be a study of unsaturated fatty acids, common in most main food fats and most sus ceptible to oxygen attack. Later they will study com plete fats such as vegetable, milk and fish fats. Further studies will then be conduct ed to learn harmful effects of facts when included in animal diets.
