Phone SP 2-601 1 surance company and the originator of the project, ex plained in an interview how it is done. The "disc girls," as the volunteers call them selves, first cull the mail when it comes to MEDICO offices in New York. Some volunteers are assigned to de cide which letters to mail on to Dr. Dooley in Laos for per sonal reply, and w,hich can be handled in New York without further demands on the doc tor's time, Morale Builders The former group always includes the "God bless" let ters, Miss Gallagher said, "be cause they're important to his morale." The latter may Include fan letters, requests for auto graphs or "project" letters -"What does Dr. Dooley need?" "What can I do to help?" Dr. Dooley does his answer ing by dictating to a battery operated recording machine. It is transcribed on small discs which he mails to New York. For letters not sent on to Laos, the girls have! worked out a pretty standard answer to the effect that "we are a group of volunteers trying to handle Dr. Dooley's mail . . , we hope you won't be too dis appointed in receiving an an swer from us Instead of Dr. Tom, who is busy setting up medical programs ..." Miss Gallagher s interest in Dr, Dooley's work began when she read his book about id for the 600,000 Vietna mese refugees who fled from the Communist rule in the north to the south. She wrote him a letter of appreciation. Rounded Up Help I m the type always writ ing my senator or congress man," she said. "I have a deep sense of patriotism, and love for my country, and I hate to see us getting a black eye overseas. And there are so few like Dr. Dooley who stand up ..." When President Eisenhower launched his "people to peo ple" program, Miss Gallagher, a secretary for 13 years, start ed Dooley aid clubs in the Metropolitan Life offices -with volunteers collecting nickels, dimes, and quarters, books, pill boxes - "anything Dr. Dooley needed," she said. Their contributions now also pay the postage bill. She began rounding up sec retarial, help after Dr. Doo ley's operation last summer in New York. It was for cancer, and she said that the surgery involved removal of some muscle in his right arm, which made it difficult and painful for. the physician to answer his own mail. Always Some Project Miss Gallagher figured that she and the other "disc girls" - and one male-volunteer, who is a linguist and can help them translate letters from foreign countries - have given close to 5,000 hours to their project and answered letters in the thousands. "Sometimes D r. Dooley will send back 100 at clip, she said. "We have had more than 2,000 letters here in New York since he returned to Laos last sum mer. ' Miss Gallagher said she had had letters from secretaries elsewhere asking how they can be of help. "We can al ways find some project," she said. "One secretary in Cali fornia rounded up 400 pounds of those tiny tailored band ages."

Shoppers' Quick Trip To Store Surveyed 1 Mlnneapolis-lllPII-When Mrs. Average Shopper announces she's making a "quick trip to the grocery store" the chances are she will stay there at least 23 minutes. During those minutes she will buy 13 items at a cost of 58 cents for each Hem. These statistics come from Mrs. Eleanor Loomis. exten sion consumer marketing agent at the University of Minnesota. Her findings are based on a study of 3,200 food shoppers. The study showed that only about 30 women of each 100 came to the store equipped with a shopping list. They bought four more items than the women who came without a list, spent about four to six cents per minute of shopping and spent more , time doing their marketing. Consumers who use a list are likely to shop once or twice a week, whereas those who don't use a list buy fewer Items at a time but shop more frequently.

New York Hostess Urges Adventurous Meal Planning By JEANE LESEM United Press International New York (UPD A hostess who estimates she's fed at least 10.000 guests in nearly 29 years of mar riage fa vors unortho dox menus, even for the tradition - lad en holidays. Mrs. Elaine Ross likes to serve turkey at a Fourth of Jeanne Lescin July eookout, pheasant for Christmas dinner and seafood crepes in a cheese and cream sauce for New Year's Eve supper instead of the traditional ham, Hor two concessions to Thanksgiving customs are tur key and pumpkin. But the latter may appear in tarts, chiffon pie or chiffon pud ding, and the turkey, with a fancy sauce combining cherry liqueur or brandy with sour cherries. In an interview, Mrs. Ross spoke up for more adventur ous meal planning. "Thirty years ago a com pany dinner meant one of four entrees," she said. "Roast beef or steak-usually wilh french fried potatoes and peas; or turkey or squab,' with the choice depending partly on the hostess' budget. More recently, we've gone through a string beans almondine phase." Mrs. Ross, a cookbook au thor, and consultant to food manufacturers, deplores the idea that entertaining and lux ury are synonymous. She maintains that corned beef and cabbage can be as ele gant as more expensive food. She has tested this theory successfully with guests at her Scarsdale, N.Y., home with the unqualified approv al of her insurance broker husband, Cornelius. (The Ross house, nearly 200 years old, bears a distinction appropriate to a food expert's ownership. A historical plaque notes that George Washington lunched there on his way to White Plains, N.Y., in Oclo ber, 1775. It docs not say what the newly installed worshipful he was served.) A brief excursion Into leaching with her business partner, Mrs. Juliette Elkon, led Mrs. Ross to another the ory: most American women are afraid to use off-beat menus for entertaining, and are timid about planning even routine menus. To help fill this gap, the partners planned a combination calendar and date book with recipes. The idea ended up as a cookbook, "M e n u s for Entertaining" (Hastings House), just pub lished. Its 400 recipes and 72 parly plans range from an intimate supper for two to a Christmas open house for 100. Party Dip New York-(UPI) -Tuna dips are tasty, economical party fare. For a basic dip, mix two 62 or 7-ounce cans of tuna in oil with 1 pint of sour cream, 1 package of de hydrated onion soup mix and V7 teaspoon oi not pepper sauce. Chill and serve with polato chips, crackers, or thinly sliced pumpernickel rounds. Vary the flavor by adding tarragon and celery seed; lemon juice and horse radish; soy sauce and ginger; or curry powder and raisins 'berry Good - New York - llll'll -Make fresh cranberry conserve now to serve the year round. Wash and pick over one pound of fresh cranberries. Cook in one cup of water until skins burst. Add two cups of diced peeled apples, one cup of diced fresh oranges, one-half cup of seed less raisins and 3 'A cups of sugar. Cook, stirring frequent ly, about 25 minutes, until mixture thickens. Stir in one- half cup of chopped nuts. Turn into six six-ounce sterlized jelley glasses and cover at once with melted pariffin What Does The Bible Say? Christ was a substitute, for the tite of the world. John 6:30-31. In this wonderful combination of events we see on the one hand the author of the uni verse, planning and directing affairs on earth, and on the other hand the willing co-oper-ation of simple faith. An aged couple are given their heart's desire, Isaac for a son, who is Drovidentialty used to portray the story of the Messiah and the glories that should follow, Once more we are impressed with the tact that, the wages of sin is death, and that there is such a thing as vicarious suf fering. ' We read in Heb. 1 1:6, and without faith it is impossible to be well pleasing unto him for he that comcth to God must believe that he is, and that he is rewarder of them that seek after him. I Cor. 13:13. But now abideth faith, hope, love, these three, and the greatest of these is love. Continued Each Wednesday by THE CHURCH of CHRIST Third and Oak Street Central Point, Oregon Delinquency Increase Lessens Washington, D.C.-Juvenile delinquency court cases in creased by 2 per cent in 1959, the Children's Bureau report ed today. The Bureau noted, however, that last year's1 increase was the smallest reported during the past decade even though the juvenile delinquency rate has risen steadily for eleven consecutive years. Contrary to trends in pre vious years, the increase in delinquency cases in 1959 did not exceed the rise in the child population, which went up by 5 per cent among chil dren of juvenile court age, 10-17 years. Juvenile delinquency data are compiled by ' the Chil dren's Bureau with-the co operation of a representative sampling of juvenile courts throughout the Nation. The 1959 findings roughly parallel data recently issued by the Federal Bureau of In vestigation, which showed a 4 per cent increase in police arrests of juveniles in 1959 over 1958. Both juvenile court and police arrest data show that since 1948, juvenile ar rests and court cases have more than doubled while the population of our young peo ple has increased by less than one-half. While the general picture of delinquents before the juvenile courts showed a 2 per cent increase in 1959, there was a 2 per cent de crease in the number of juve niles handled in urban areas while courts . serving semi urban and rural areas experi enced increases of 7 and 15 per cent respectively. Other data gathered by the Children's Bureau reveal that of children living in public training schools for delin quent children on Juie 30, 1958, one-fourth had been there previously. The approx imately 38,000 children in such institutions amounts to a rate of about 150 per- 100,- 000 child population. It is estimated that juvenile courts commit to training schools roughly 1 in every 10 chil dren who come before them. The court uses such methods as probation and counseling with the majority o children they see. Festive Breakfast New York - (UPD - Serve rolled pancakes for a festive breakfast. Bake pancakes from a mix, following the package directions. Butter the hot pancakes, spread with a tart jelly or jam and roll up.

You have learned to count on good ' s-t Core Food Buy By Extension N Corvallis - Meal planners can get some helpful sugges tions for streamlining food preparation in a new Oregon State college extension bulle tin. The era of a fixed weekiy menu went out with once-a-month shopping trips, notes Ruth Klippstein, extension nu tritionist and bulletin author. Not many homemakers can predict when they market on Friday what the family sched ule will be the following Wednesday. They find it eas ier to plan meals once a day or for a two-day period. This changes their buying habits. Auxiliary Has Hostess Tips New York - (UPD - During the holiday party, a good hostess keeps eyes peeled for changes in weather. Sudden changes can turn the most familiar street into a slippery death trap, warns the Ladies Auxiliary of the Fraternal Order of Police. The Auxiliary's president, Elva Frederick, of Pittsburgh, Pa., said that a timely warn ing about changes in the weather can mean the differ ence between life and death for homeward-bound guests.. Mrs. Frederick also said that a good hostess won't force spirited drinks on guests who like soda pop. "Keep a supply of fruit juices and soft drinks avail able for those who prefer them." P.S. - Before your guests leave, Mrs. Frederick advises coffee. DANCING In the LOUNGE Open 5 :30 till 1 a.m. ing Advocated utritionist Core food buying is the practical answer, the home economist believes. In "Short Cuts to Hot Meals," Mrs. Klippstein explains that core buying is stocking up on meal mainstays - meat, vegetables, fruits and dairy products - to assure nutritious meals be tween shopping trips. Since most meals are built around meat, buy a variety enough to last from one trip to the market to the next, the specialist advises. She sug gests buying at least three green or yellow vegetables in a week's supply to provide ample amounts of Vitamin A needed every other day. Daily sources of. Vitamin C in the form of orange, other citrus juices, tomato juice or straw berries should also be added to the shopping cart. Make a list of staples and extras needed to guarantee a well - stocked cupboard, ad vises the home economist. She compares modern menu plan ning to coordinated wardrobe -choose foods that go together and come up with a tasty com bination regardless of how they are mixed and matched. In the bulletin, Mrs. Klipp stein offers recipes that can be made ahead, frozen and re heated for quick meals. A fa vorite of Oregon -homemakers, she says, is brown meat cubes -chunks of beef or venison, frozen and used in meat pies, stroganoff, or in tomato and spaghetti dishes. She also sug gests use of a simple home made tote box to carry hot meals to men working out doors or to potluck dinners. Copies of the bulletin are available from county exten sion offices. . yu (to to the store? brand names. You know the company standi back of them.
