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

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."
