12 C SUNDAY. DECEMBER 16. 1962 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON MANOR-ISMS . By ETHEIYN EVANS Herb Cain writes In a San Francisco paper that in the southland they know that Thanksgiving is coming ONLY because all the Christ mas decorations are up and out. It is supposed to have something to do with a boost to the economy, but that early - in the blazing southland sun .. it seems most incongruous Also. Inez Robb is writing ar ticles calling for all those of us who don't like this early and long commercialization of Christmas to make a con certed eftort to stop it through adverse public opin ion. "Wanna" Join us? This reminds me that Ad ministrator Walter Higgins told me the Rogue Manor win aay "Merry Christmas" to the valley In the same manner as last year - lights In all of our many windows. This means all our public rooms, Including laundries, hobby rooms, recreation rooms, etc. and all private apartments. Service men will go through turning light on and off in the apartments of absent members. Mr. Higglnj also plans the ame huge, fully lighted tree on the roof of the porte rochere at the entrance, and the beautiful blue star on the roof of the penthouse. This atar is really large and ex pensively lighted, but is so very, very high that it could be overlooked. Do crane your necks and look for It - well wortb the effort. There will be two big trees In the lobby - one dazzling with lights and Christmas baubles, and the other with lights and Christmas cards from each member to the rest of us. We do hope the absen tees will remember to send In a card In plenty of time; but, In any event, there will be well over 300 cards. There Is always a group around this tree, reading the greetings, but it will probably take until the New Year for all to ex amine the cards and read each message. In addilibn to other decor ations, there will be another large tree in the auditorium and still another in the dining Toom. Our Christmas commit tee can be trusted to do a thorough and beautl fully decorated Job throughout the Manor. A committee chairman handed me a penciled sched ule of events planned so far. We will have our usual big. annual party for Administra tors, staff and members in the auditorium. After an enter taining program, Col Ralph Powell, Monte Scrcno, Calif., chairman of the council, will present the Christmas fund checks to our staff. This Is the only opportunity the members have to show ap preciation of the excellent, cheerful and kindly service given us by our staff. The Council collects the fun, al locates the money on the basis of seniority In service and distributes it. All of this will be followed by a reception, an abundance of Christmas refreshments and dancing. All during the holidays there will be cnlcrluinmciU -plays, skits and religious pageants put on by the mem bers, plus a number nt special Christmas movies. The Mcd ford High school choir, the Phoenix High school choral group, the Ashland High achool Carol singers and others will be on hand lo add to the Christmas spirit. Add to all of tills the dozens and dozens of private parlies throughout the Mnnor, and you will know dial the "Mil you will know that it will be a gay plare this Yulctide. I'm chatting about Christmas plans well beforehand this year, as the next 'Manor-Isms'' dale. Dec. 30th will be too late. Mrs. F. M. Miirdui-k. who formerly lived in Butler, Pa., but who is now my neighbor on "Manor Fifth Avenue," in vited more than 100 friends to drop in for a prc-llnliday tea during (lie hours 2-to-5 p.m. While this may seem a goodly crowd, he had willing and efficient help. In her apartment, across the corri dor, Miss Carrie Mangles and Miss Irma Flames, annlhcr fifth floor neighbor, manned the K.P. front by keeping fresh china coming and io freshment trays filled. The Shroeders, next door, served the coffee or ea, which guests Parents Without Partners To Meet Ken Raymond, of the Tri nity Baptist church and home teacher for high school stu dents, will speak on "Learn ing To Live Alone." at the Parent Without Partners or ganization, meeting at 1!0I) South Oakdalc avenue.

' Gingered Orange Tasty Confection Gingered orange peel is a delectable confection that can add to the goodies served at holiday time or make a quickly and easily-made gift with little expense. Cover the peel of three large oranges with cold water. Bring to boil and cook until tender, pouring off the water and adding fresh cold water several times. Drain peel and cut in thin strips with scissors. In a saucepan, mix one cup sugar and two teaspoons ground ginger. Add one-half cup water and cook until mix ture threads, (242 degrees on a candy thermometer.) Add peel end cook over low heat until syrup is absorbed. Roll each strip in mixture of two teaspoons ginger, com bined with one-half cup sugar until coated. Cool. Makes about one-half pound. t TURKEY TIP New York - (UPll - Thinking of stuffing your turkey the day before roasting? It's not a good idea to stuff the bird and store in refrigerator, says the American Gas association. The meat may become over cooked if you do this because it takes too long for heat to penetrate through cold stuffing. Shoppers' Images Of Foods Influence Package Designers New York - (UPD - Bread once was considered the staff of life. Now it represents the Christmas Music On OMTA Program A program of Christmas re cordings by Leontyne Price furnished the program for the Oregon Music Teachers asso ciation party and no-host din ner meeting December 10 in the home of Mrs. Karl Peter son, 1484 Windsor avenue, Ashland. Members from both Ashland and Medford attend ed. The dinner table was ar ranged with holiday decorations. fear of fat. Wine is associated with for eign countries. Beer connotes robustness. Images such as these, says Samuel Rivman, a man who has studied the psychological shopping drives of women, underline the basic idea for the kind of food packages housewives like best. Rivman, vice-president of the Spencer Packaging com pany, believes that for vege tables, a package should con vey a quality of carthiness; for bacon and eggs, the idea of a farm with freshness and cleanliness. He noted no matter what doctors say, the consumer be lieves coffee Is a stimulant and a substitute for liquor. Tea suggests a sedative. Pepper stands for sex. Can dy recalls the rewards and good things of life in child hood. A package must be honest to sell a product, Rivman be lieves. But to be successful, it must have a direct associa tion with the product it contains. "OIL TO BURN" Mobilheat S & H Green Stamps MEDFORD FUEL CO. 772-2111 MAKE IT A LIVING GIFT! Give ROSE i BUSHES!
