CHRISTENSEN Shopping Hints For Dishwashers Given by Expert Shopping for a dishwasher this Christmas? More cycles for specific Jobs, greater capacity, improv ed water action and more va riety in sizes and finishes are noted in new models, says Bernice Strawn; Oregon Slate university extension special ist. Dishwashers will hold more dishes than ever before. Most hold 12 place settings plus silver; some hold up to 17 place settings. Dishwashers are designed so that by the turn of the dial gentle water action is available for deli cate glassware and fine china powerful surge for pots and pans. A third cycle pro vides moderate water action for the usual run of dishes. No Prt-Riming Pre-rinsing dishes is not necessary before dishes go into the dishwasher, says Miss Strawn. Some models have pre-rinse cycles for use when only a few dishes are in the washer and are to wait until a full load has been accumulat ed. If supply of hot water is limited, families can still en joy s dishwasher, advises the extension specialist. Some models have booster heaters to bring the temperature to 140 degrees or higher. Hot water Is a must for good dish washing and it speeds up dry ing. Loading a dishwasher after your big Christmas dinner will demonstrate the roomi ness of most models. Long stem goblets, large platters and odd shaped serving dishes fit into most because of flex ible rack arrangements. Spollen Drying What if water Is hard? Be fore new detergents and rins ing agents, spotted glasses were a problem, says OSU's specialist. Now many dish washers automatically eject wetting agents into the last rinse for spotless drying. Portable dishwashers pro vide capacity and perform ance comparable to built-in models. If you plan to remod el or move, some of these may be built-in later. Portables may be top opening or have a deep drawer which pulls out lo load the dishes. Some also have drop doors in the front. Dishwashers can be used with spetic tanks if they con form to local health depart ment requirements. Dishwash ers are available in a variety of colors to match or harmo nize with kitchen decor. They come in stainless steel, copper and wood tones. One model ran he Installed at rounlrr height.

Children's Television Said Poor and Shoddy By PATRICIA McCORMACK United Press International New York - IUPII - One day not long ago a little boy strolled through the park with his mother. They met an old man on crutches. The darling boy bolted from h i s mother and kicked the crutches out from un der the old man. The mnlhpr w a K ."'' shocked The old man was upset. And the little boy? He was mystified. Couldn't understand why no one laughed at his funny trick as the dogs and cats in a television cartoon he saw hee hawed when a reel character pulled the same trick. Later that day, the mother, who had undergone the most shocking experience of her life, wrote to Bob Keeshan, television's Captain Kangaroo. He's a television character on a program noted for its purity, its upbeat entertain ment, its subtel instruction. The mother wanted Kee shan to do something about cartoons that tickle little ribs at the expense of crippled persons and other unfortu nates. Keenhan Aniwtri Keeshan answers that moth er and all mothers who grow sick over the extent to which shoddy television fare infects the sense of values they're trying to nurture in the offspring. He does it via an essay in Couple Guests In O'Brien O'Brien Mr. and Mrs. Har old Haslock, Cave Junction, were guests last week of Mr. and Mrs. Victor Hilton. the January issue of "Good Housekeeping." He pleads for a cease-fire in production rooms of shoddy shows for children. At the same time, he tells the mothers the ultimate blame rests on parents. "Nobody will ever be able to convince me that parents do not bear a direct respon sibility for anything that en ters their home and reaches their children," he said. "The same mother who takes great care to prepare only the most wholesome, bal anced diet for her children seems quite willing to per mit the worst kind of mental garbage to fill their minds during their most formative years." According to the caplain's diagnosis, the trouble with children's television is that too few respect the child as an individual of potentially great taste. Jutt Statistics "To the TV industry, he is a statistic to be added to the rating sheet; to too many sponsors, he is a consumer to be gulled; to many per formers he is a lone-deaf, sa distic little animal whose at tention can not be held by anything more subtle than a pie in the face." On the home front, the cap lain suggests this rule: "No child should be per mitted to watch anything that mom and dad can't watch with-out gagging." The hand thai rocks the cra dle, in otherwords, ought to rock the ratings by turning the dial when a child tunes in a violent, sadistic cartoon. Keeshan describes most lo cal television fare for chil dren as "cheap, shoddy and cut-rate." He maintains most of the cartoons were made for adult audiences in the Thirties and are filled with sadism and of fensive stereotypes. Commercials also get tum bled In the Keeshan article. What infuriates him most: The be . the - first - in - your -neighborhood pitch. To make a child feel that something is wrong with him if his parents cannot afford a toy, or do not wish to buy it for him, is unforgivable," he said. Surveys show youngsters watch television 23 hours a week. "When anything takes up that amount of a child's time, it is not enough to ask what harm It does," Keeshan said. "It has to justify itself by do ing some good." iiit)ididi0i$it)i0i0i0iOi(i$i)i0iOi0!0i$ Gift Under PHOTO GIFTS! $E0Q Books Film Filters Slida Files Slide Viewers Camera Neck Chains Lens Brushes Auto Releases Developing Tanks 8 MM & 16 MM Reels Cant Flash Units Mounts LAYAWAY DELIVERY GIFT WRAPPING 5 HUDSON'S 613 East Main St. ROGUE CAMERA SHOP Phone 773-4288 80 SAY "Merry Christmas" to mother-to-be with maternity fashions from our STORK NOOK6 , .4- y jgjillT-S A WONDIKFUl StOttPv al ill witlJr Fan Raalte K ' jf CI IDC 'A'-.-'-'J &k-J?
