Quads Year Old Today;
Mom Too Busy For Party
By GAY PAULEY
UPI Womin'i Editor
, Dobbs Ferry, N.Y.-OJPD-The
.Kajouras quadruplets turned
;one year old today without
birthday cake but with neigh'
.borhood children In to play
v. "When you're as busy as I
am with four crawling babies.
'there's not much time for
planning something special,'
aid their happy mother,
extremely pretty blonde of 27
years,
.t "All I hope for is a day
"which goes smoothly, sh
iemiled. "We thought we1
"have some of the children
droD in. but that's about all
? The quads - Michael, Paul
'Icon and Anthea - were the
.first born of Bess and Alex
JCajouras. They arrived last
June 24 at the U.S. Public
.health Service hospital, Sta
men Island, N. Y., and stayed
Jn an incubator for several
TWeeks until each had gotten
tip to five pounds
All but one, Michael
"weighed under four pounds
jit birth. Michael, was the last
"to arrive and also the heaviest
-four pounds, two ounces.
Today, to look at the four,
3t is hard to believe that medi
cal s c 1 e n c e gives quadrup
lets a one in seven million
fchance of survival.
Four BlHiings
; "When they were born,
I Alex and I thought how
blessed we were, not once but
"four time," she said. "We've
"also been blessed with good
health for them.'
' "The four have had no se-
:rious illness - Just the usual,
teething, mumps and chicken-
pox, said their mother.
All are on Junior baby
iood, dine from their high
chairs three times a day with
Hlamma and Pappa, and have
;)earned to mouth tho word
J'Mommy" but not "Daddy."
; "I think It's because
'lommy is such an easy
'sound," said Mrs. Kajouras.
The boys range In weight
from 20 to 22 pounds each
"You don't hold one in each
arm for very long now," she
feald. The girl, Anthea, weighs
17 pounds,
All have the same coloring
i-fair hair and blue eyes-but
personalities definitely going
in four directions.
When I visited the Ka
jouras' last year shortly after
the quads came home, Mich
ael even then seemed an out
going little fellow. "He still
Is," said his mother. "Always
mugging it up. He thinks
everybody's his friend."
Paul is the smallest boy
and also the most agile. Leon,
-now called Lee, is the quiet
one. And the little girl?
"She's all bubbly and fem--Inine,"
said her mother. "Per
fectly delighted with her
brothers."
Lovely Bride's Cake Is Home-Baked
It it's to be a small wedding- don't spend any Mm regretting that
it can't be a large affair. An intimate wedding can make up in
beauty and charming detail any-
'. thing it lacks In site. A group of
' relatives and friends sharing the
important occasion, a beautiful
reception held in the friendly at
mosphere of home and a delicious
homemade wedding cake decorat
ed with dainty fresh flowers, add
up to a memorable occasion. This
beautiful cake serves 20 to 25
persons.
Beeae Bake4 Weddin Cake
4 cups sifted cake flour 12 cup sugar
6 teaspoons double-acting 1 cup shortening
baking powder 2 cups sugar
1-12 teaspoons salt 1-84 cups milk
6 egg whites 2 teaspoons vanilla
Measure sifted flour, add baking powder and salt, and sift together
" three times. Beat egg whites until foamy, add 12 cup sugar grad
. ually, and continue beating only until meringue will hold up in soft
', peaks.
; Cream shortening, add 2 cups sugar gradually, and cream togeth-
- er until light and fluffy, Add flour mixture alternately with milk, a
amall amount at a time, beating after each addition until smooth.
Add vanilla. Then add meringue and beat thoroughly into batter.
Pour batter into three round 9-inch layer pans which have been
; lined on bottoms with paper. Bake in moderate oven (376'F.) 25 to
' 30 minutes, or until done. Cool.
Prepare Cherry Almond Filling and spread between layers. Frost
top and sides of cake generously with Seven Minute Frosting. Top
, with a small bouquet of fresh flowers and arrange additional flowers
round base of cake. If desired.
Cherry Almond Filling. Combine 1 unbeaten egg white, 34 cup
- auger, dash of salt, 14 cup water, and 1-12 teaspoons light corn
! ayrup in top of double boiler. Beat 1 minute, or until thoroughly
mixed. Then beat constantly over boiling water with sturdy egg
heater (or at high speed of electric beater) 4 minutes, or until
frosting will stand in stiff peaks.
Remove from boiling water. For a very smooth and satiny filling,
pour at once into a large bowl. Add 34 teaspoon vanilla and beat 1
minute, or until thick enough to spread. Fold in 34 cup chopped
toasted blanched almonds, 14 cup macaroon crumbs, 20 drained
chopped maraschino cherries, and, if desired, 14 teaspoon lemon
rind.
Srven Minute 'reefing. Combine I unbeaten egg whites, 2-14
eups sugar, 18 teaspoon of salt, 11 cup water and 1 tablespoon
light corn syrup In top of a 1-quart double boiler. Beat about 1 min
ute, or until thoroughly mixed. Then place over boiling water and
beat constantly with sturdy egg beater (or at high speed of electrie
beater) 7 minutes, or until frosting will stand in stiff peaks. (Stir
frosting up from bottom and sides of pan occasionally with rubber
. stcraper, spatula, or spoon.)
Remove from boiling water. (For a very smooth and satiny
frosting, pour at once into a large bowl for final beating.) Then
' add 1-12 teaspoons vanilla and beat 1 minute or until thick
. enough to spread.
Mrs. Kajouras said that fi
nancing the rearing of the
babies still Is their biggest
worry - although a diaper
service gave them a free sup
ply at one time as high as
400 diapers a week for six
months; another company of
fered a milk formula; Alex
won some of the nursery
equipment on television
shows; their landlord, Robert
Merrick, gave them their two
bedroom apartment rent free
for a year; and well wishers
from all over the country
sent small donations.
Was Law Student
The young father was driv
ing a truck to help finance
night classes at Columbia Uni
versity Law school when the
quads arrived. Now, he has
given up law and Is working
trainee with the E. F.
Hutton Company, Wall Street
stock brokers.
'But we manage," she said
cheerfully, "We've Just tight
ened our belts. While the
babies gain, Alex loses
weight. He's a worrier. Me, I
go right on . . . strong as a
horse."
The couple cares for the
quads with no help except
when relatives can lend a
hand.
The first time I met Mrs.
Kajouras, she had no theories
on bringing up babies. "Dr.
Spock devotes one chapter to
twins," she said. "What help
Is that to me?"
We worry about seeing
that each gets equal atten
tion," she said. "We give them
lot of love, balanced wltn
some firmness. I am not above
gentle spank on the bot
tom."
'If they ever get out of
control," she added suddenly,
what would I do?"

weeks before World War II
ended. She has one other son,

Members, she said, no not
live in the past, although
many are two and three star
mothers meaning they lost
two or three children in wars.
Rather, they work to help
the living.
Mrs. Desser, active In Gold
Stars since 1948, estimated
that last year, the members
gave 75,000 volunteer hours
to community projects and an
equal amount of time to hos
pitals, both veterans and non
veteran. She said some mem
bers had totalled as high as
3,500 hospital hours each over
a stretch of years.
Wilson Suggestion
Gold Star Mothers was
founded in 1919, went into a
lull, and was reactivated in
1937. Its name came from a
suggestion of President Wood
row Wilson.
During and Immediately
after World War I, parents
who had lost sons wore black
bands. The President suggest
ed a star instead of the mourn
ing band.
A Congressional act in 1947
made official a pin which any
parent might wear to indicate
a war loss a pin about the
size of a dime, with a gold
star set against a purple back
ground. '
Mrs. Desser said the organ
ization has 20,000 members
ranging in age from 40s to the
80s. Each member must be a
U.S. citizen and the natural
mother of the child killed.
"We would like to see all
women who are eligible be
long to Gold Star," said its
president. "But actually we
are working for a diminishing
membership.
"What I mean Is, we don't
want it Increased by another

For Mature Women
Said More Difficult

Increase in the number of
young persons seeking jobs.
"This increase represents
the coming-of-age of children
born during the 'baby boom'
of World War II and of the
postwar years," the Institute
said.
"In a very real sense, these
young persons, just entering
what Is called the 'job mar

Expert Describes
'The Open Mind'
Ann Arbor-flJPD-The "open
mind" has four marks, re
ports Dr. Milton Rokeach,
professor of psychology at
Michigan State University.
The four standards of meas
urement emerge from labora
tory studies Dr. Rokeach con
ducted in an effort to work
out a practical method of
measuring people's "open" or
"closed" mindedness.
He said that an open-minded
person generally is one
who:
-is not upset by the idea
of a major change, and can
adjust to changes in life sit
uations as these arise;
-Is realtively free of pre
conceived notions about other
people, and can meet, accept
or reject them without re
gard to their religion, race,
social or national origin;
-evaluates and reacts to
ideas not in terms of who
else may be for or against
them, but solely in terms of
their apparent merit;
-approaches people in posi
tions of authority without, on
the one hand, hostility, bel
ligerence or suspicion, and,
on the other hand, without
the need to conform to what
he imagines the "official" po
sition to be.
