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.

Home Extension unit met at
the home of Mrs. Jack O'Brian
with a large group in attend
ance. The lesson was given by
Mrs. Laneta Hartshorn and
Mrs. Daisy Hcrriott on "How
To Guide Adolescents". .
Patience, a sense of humor,
and a firm, understanding
hand are needed. The ability
to discuss things freely with
young people and to plan
ahead with them are wise as
sets to develop, it was ex
plained. The women of the unit
were asked to donate cup

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.
