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

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.

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.

Wine is associated with for

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.

it must have a direct associa
