(Landit photo) Parents Cautioned to Keep Detergents Away from Child Corvallis Parents who've been concerned about recent deaths among children 'who have eaten automatic dish washer detergents should heed information about the nature of these detergents as provided by the U. S. depart ment of health, education and welfare and reported by Ore gon State college. A Wasco county child was reported to have died this spring from eating a dish-washer detergent and other ;deaths have been noted in Michigan ani North Dakota. 1 Small children who have re ceived medical attention im medlately have survived. -. Homemakers are assured, Diowever, that more common "cleansers such as soap, liq uid dishwashing determents, "and granular laundry deter ments, are not harmful, accord- ling to the federal health an fcney. But because ingredients kf detergents and cleaners ;vary so greatly, no clear-cut distinction can be made for "poisonous and non-poisonous cleaners. Most products used in dishwashing and launder ing rail In the non-hazardous class. Some individual manufac turers have adopted warning statements that will appear on labels or will do so in the future under the terms of a pending federal hazardous aubstances bill. Growth of the industry has teen so rapid that it has not teen possible to keep pace with labeling of all new. de tergents and cleaning pro ducts, OSC experts point out. According to Bernice Strawn, OSC extension home manage ment specialist, 9 out of 10 homemakers use detergents today and 1 of 10 uses soaps. Ten years ago, these figures would have been reversed, says Miss Strawn. California Family Guest of Hoffmans Gold Hill-Mr. and Mrs. E C. Hoffman of north highway 99 had as their guests last week, Dr. and Mrs. J. H Baird, their daughter, Miss Andrea Baird, and son, John Balrd all of Sacramento, Calif.

If a child eats a question able detergent, Miss Strawn suggests this first aid treat ment before the doctor ar rives. Give youngster plenty of water or milk.

N.Y.-IUrtl- The 18 acres housing the United Nations along New York'tiEast River Is not part of the United States. By agreement with Washington, the headquarters site consti Women's News Social Events mm Pal Peg put a note on Potpourri's desk the other day which read: "During May the city police issued 2,295 parking meter tickets compared to 4,448 for the same month in 1959. They miss you, Olive." If the city misses our fine money, that's Just dandy. We've reformed, and we're trying to stay that way. One week last December this reporter paid out $3.50 to the city in parking money and fines, and we decided this business had gone far enough. We looked ourself firmly in the eye and said "this is too much." Six months have gone by very quickly, we might note and during that time Potpourri has not received a single cita tion for over-parking. Arid better yet, we've spent almost no money on the parking meters. How do we do it? We Just park the Doll safely out of the meter zone, and if it means some walking, we walk. Potpourri has learned a number of facts about driving a little car. A little car, especially a sports car, makes the occupants conspicuous, which is sometimes a bit awkward. Three small boys gathered around one afternoon and gravely watched us get In, dispose our luggage and limbs, start the motor and drive off. If they had comments, they were made after we were out of hearing. Little sports cars are not only watched by other motor ists and small boys, they attract the attenion of police officers. Somehow everyone seems to take it for granted that if one owns a sports car, it was purchased with but one idea in mind speed. A motorist remarked to us not long ago that he could drive a beat up farm pickup well over the speed limit and no one pays the slightest attention. But if he exceeds the speed in his little sports car, he im mediately attracts attention. Possibly a psychiatrist, or a traffic expert, can explain this. As for Poppy and Potpourri, we didn't buy the Doll because we wanted to drive fast. We bought the car be cause it has a sleek design, because it is economical to operate and because we like to ride in an open car. This isn't our first convertible. Oh, yes, one more thing. Other motorists believe that a little car doesn't need any room. A little car can just unpark itself even though there isn t even six inches of space. So they just back their big sedans slap dab up against The Doll's front bumper. It happens over and over. But a driver thinks twice before backing up against the bumper of another big sedan, or a truck. "George is back" Pappy reported a couple of days ago. He's been around all morning. He brought either a friend or his spouse." George is a humming bird. Or maybe several humming birds. Pappy insists that there are only two, and perhaps he is right. Three or four years ago a blue jay moved into our garden, and Pappy named him Charley. Since we never saw more than one jay at any given time, we decided there was just Charley. This year, however, Charley apparently took unto himself a mate, and shortly after we discovered the nest in a laurel bush outside the kitchen window, the family of three young birds hatched and feathered. Now, with all of them around the garden friendly as can be, Pappy has started saying The Charleys. The big gray and blue California jays are common ground the valley, and attract considerable attentfon. Mrs. Donald Whalin, who came in not along with some Girl Scouts news, had an interesting story about the Jays which live in their neighborhood. Mrs. Whalin took a plate of cookies out as a snack for a group of small fry playing with the Whalin youngsters, and a short time later had to mediate a fuss. One child said his cooky, which he laid down after taking only a bite or two, had disappeared. He was suspicious. He was supplied with another cooky but before long another child was crying because her cooky was gone, too. Keeping an eye on the patio scene, Lois W. discovered before long that a jay was carrying off the cookies. "That bird had a terrible time, they were such a load, but by stretching his neck and holding his head up high, he'd finally get off the ground and fly away," she reported. It was the first time I knew that jays could fly with any thing as large as a cooky." O.S. 'Society Character Lost Says Author of New Book State Fair Enlarges Food Area Salem The Oregon Slate Fair foods department will en large its quarters for the sec ond year in a row, as the de partment continues to increase in popularity, Manager How ard Maple said today. A yeor ago the department was moved from the com mercial exhibits building to the former 4-H dormitory where it occupied half the downstairs area. But even that proved to be crowded, and Maple gave the other half to the foods superintendent, Mrs. Maxinc Mallicoat, for this year's fair, September 2-10. The enlarged area will en able all foods to be brought to the Fair before the Fair be gins, including pies, which in past years could not be brought until the middle of the Fair.

By CAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor New York - CJPD - Today's debutante goes to Europe for a mass coming-out party. . Fifty years ago, she went to catch a titled husband- wit h father usually acting as the ad vance man on this scouting expedition. "There was almost a hunt ing dog ap proach to the way rich fath e r s went abroad looking for titles for their daughters," said Walter Lord, an author who has re searched for his new book on society's doings at the begin ning of the century. Society Had Character "But society had character then ... a status it doesn't have today," said Lord, in an interview. "We Americans al- hr- G? Pauley Camporee First Held At Forest The first Camporee at the new Girl Scout campsite, Tomlin Forest in Little Swit zerland, ended Sunday, June 26. The first troops arrived early Friday, and by the eve ning four troops were camped. This new campsite offers a wealth of outdoor fun for girls, Scout officials say. Wildflowers were blooming in abundance, deer nosed at the outskirts of the camping area, and the view of the mountains were magnificent from all angles, according to Mrs. Frank Tamney, camp oree chairman. The Medford Lions club, with help from local mer chants and business men, have constructed a lodge from which a clear view of the distant mountain range may be had. T. R. Eslinger and his crew are still work ing eradicating the patches of poison oak. Considering the short time since the purchase of this area, and the incle ment weather which delayed much of the work, the area was in excellent condition for this first Camporee, Mrs. Tamney said. The flag was raised Friday morning, and the large eve ning campfire held Friday night. "Scouts Own" was held at the lodge Saturday eve ning, and the evening camp fire held at the Yreka camp area. Each troop performed a skit, and the balance of the evening was spent singing around the campfire. Camp was broken Sunday morning. Troops with their leaders and assistants in attendance were Troop 14, Mrs. W. E. Acord; Troop 143, Mrs. LeRoy Hagel, Mrs. Dan Kadin and Miss Shcrrie Pritchard; Troop 192, Mrs. Ralph Barclay and Mrs. Thomas McFadden; Troop 233, Mrs. J. D. Land rum and Mrs. Don Clement. Mrs. Tamney was Camporee chairman, assisted by Mrs. Tom Lytic Family Returns From California Eagle Point - Mrs. Chris tine Llnder and sons.

While there they visited the zoo, museum of arts and science, Fisher man's wharf and attended games between the San Fran cisco Giants and Milwaukee Braves. The trio traveled south with members of the Boys Brigade from Eagle Point Community Bible church.

Today, the notables are the television stars, the movie stars, the sports personalities. "When Laura Swann, a social queen of 50 years ago, got her hat caught on fire at Sherry's, it was front page in the New York papers the next day. Imagine. The front page!" Society's lavish parties and Its competing hostesses of the period are part of Lord's look ing backward in a book called "The Good Years." The Baltimore-born writer covers the period from 1900 to the First World War - "after plumbing and before 'taxes," as he put it. "Undoubtedly, the most pub licized hostess of the period was Mrs. John Jacob Astor," said Lord. "But how some of the women survived, I don't know. Take Mrs. Potter Palmer. Her calendar was filled practically from break fast to breakfast ... as many as 10 engagements a day." Imported Show Lord told of one lavish party when Rudolf Guggen heimer stocked the Waldorf's Myrtle room with nightin gales borrowed from a zoo. The Cornelius Vanderbilts im ported a Broadway musical complete with cast and scen ery for an "at home" during one of Newport's famous tennis weeks. "The 1912 social register listed 18 pages of yachts in commission," said Lord. "Now, the 400 gets around in dinghies." "In truth," said Lord, the 'Four Hundred' is a misnomer. One of the menus I located listed 450 guests at a ball Mrs. Astor gave in 1905." Lord said there was more reported on the activities of the older social set than of the debutantes. "I think," he said, "the deb of those days was sheltered far more. She came out literally. If she went anywhere with an escort, there was also a chaperone." t Play Announced By Bridge Club Camp White - Master point play will be held July 1 by the Camp White Veterans bridge club.
