Appliance Labels Should Be Checked Corvallis - Purchase of a new appliance, especially im port merchandise, may be a "shocking" experience if it doesn't carry a safety-check label. Miss Bernice Strawn, Ore gon State college extension home management specialist, advises shoppers to look for , the Underwriters Laboratories seal of approval on appliances, plug-in radios,- phonographs, and television sets as a safe guard for home use. Oregon law forbids sale of appliances without the UL seal but they occasionally appear on local markets without it, she re ports. Although major U.S. manu facturers submit products for testing, 'foreign-made goods such as Japanese and Ger man television sets, phono graphs and radios arc not rou tinely UL. safety-checked. UL seal indicates that the appli ance meets certain minimum standards of electrical safety. For the first six months of 1960, shipments of electronic equipment from Japan to this country increased 75 per cent, reports Miss Strawn. She says that in three months, ship ments were a million dollars higher than shipments for all . 1958.

Jkkf) Rail TiiBWN, Bedford, ore. Blizzards, intense cold, massive traffic jams and crowded ballrooms failed to dampen the spirits of valley residents who were in the nation's capital for the inauguration of President John F. Kennedy. All these trying conditions just added to the excitement and to the number of stories and anecdotes which they brought home and are now repeating for friends and clubs. The Glenn Jacksons had looked forward to a cocktail party which Gen. and Mrs. Ira Eaker were giving Thursday night. The Medford couple set forth from the Shoreham hotel at 6 p.m., spent four hours in a taxi and never did reach the F Street club, where the party was being held. They returned to the hotel and dined in lonely state at 11 p.m., and since the telephone lines were down, weren't even able to telephone their hosts. Among guests who had accepted invitations to the cock til party and failed to arrive were Vice President and Mrs. Lyndon Johnson and Congressman and Mrs. Edwin R. Durno. The Durnos have taken an apartment in Arlington; they spent the better 'part of the evening getting home from the city, and decided that it was useless to set forth again. When Mrs. Jackson. finally was able to contact Mrs. Eaker Friday morning, the hostess glumly reported that 22 guests out of almost one hundred who had accepted invitations had ar rived. The guest of honor, Donald Douglas of the Douglas Aircraft corporation, was among those who managed to una his way to the F Street club. "The blizzard and traffic jam were absolutely ghastly," Mrs. Jackson reported. "Hundreds of abandoned cars were everywhere; our taxi would move about a foot, and then be stalled for 15 or 20 minutes. We saw an ambulance take to the sidewalk to make any progress. Ordinarily a taxi can travel from the Shoreham to the F Street club in 10 min utes; after four hours we were still many blocks away." Mr. Jackson attended the "swearing in" of the new presi dent Friday and that evening the two were guests of Gen. Jess Larson, who had reserved a box at the Sheraton hotel Inaugural Ball. Among those attending this event were Gov. and Mrs. Mark Hatfield of Oregon, and Mrs. Jackson re ports that the beautiful Mrs. Hatfield received dozens of compliments. "She looked absolutely stunning, and her gown was lovely," is the word from Mrs. Jackson. The Medford woman was pleased to be able to say that the gown, which had not DhotosraDhed well and had been criticized by many here, was really elegant and gon's First Lady. . "We never missed a single event, in spite of the weather" Mrs. Frank Christian reported yesterday after; noon. The Christians fortunately were able to find a room at the Parkside hotel which activities. Like thousands of Thursday night traveling a distance which would ordinarily be 10 minutes by car. Leaving the Governor's reception at 6 p.m., it was 8 o'clock before they were able to reach their hotel. Later they continued to the Inaugural Gala with out incident. Mr. C. said he was told that at least 8,000 stalled automobiles were left on the capital's streets that night. The Christians had excellent seats for the inauguration ceremonies and for the parade. They were much in the company of Mr. and Mrs. John Kile, Montana couple also staying at the Parkside. Mrs. Kile is president of the Demo cratic women's group in Montana, and through the Kiles the Christians met Sen. Mike Mansfield. Sen. Wayne Morse of Oregon arranged for the Talent couple to be among those who saw Chester Bowles inducted into his new office in ceremonies at the Capitol. The Christians, who remained in Washington through Sunday and Monday, went sightseeing, toured the city and Capitol and saw many places of interest before leaving for home. Mrs. Christian was especially pleased lo meet so many interesting women at the Distinguished Ladies' reception. Among this group were Mrs. Lyndon Johnson and Mrs. Harry Truman and her daughter. "I never saw so many fur coats in my life" she commented, looking back on all the gala events. During the long, colorful parade, Mrs. C. said that the spectators tied scarves over their hats and around their shoulders, giving up the smart look for comfort. Tn save their pretty slippers, women carried them in their hands to parties, and upon their arrival, would check shoes andi galoshes and change into the fancy footgear, she said. "We didn't mind the cold Christian's conclusion. "We didn't miss a single event we had planned to attend and everyone, including Congresswoman Edith Green and Senator Morse, were simply wonderful to us. We're both very happy that, we were able to at tend." O.S.
