By GAY PAULEY
: UPI Women"! Editor
' New York - WPII - This is the
story of 23 secretaries and
their humanitarian project
bridging t h e
distance from
Manhattan to
the jungles of
South Africa.
The 23 give
their spare
hours to an
swering the
h u n drcds of

are written
to Dr. Tom
Dooley, the 33-year-old found
r of MEDICO, a non-profit
Agency to establish hospitals
and send volunteer physicians
-and medical aid to under
developed countries.
" This handling of corres
pondence for a "boss" half a
world away takes some me
chanical doing, because the
secretaries all hold regular
office jobs in New York.

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

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.

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.

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.
