Mrs. A. O. Floyd (at left) Medlord, and Mn. O. V. Poe, Phoenix, are ihown here with
a few of the hundreds of swags, wreaths and garlands which members of garden clubs in
the Siskiyou district, Oregon Federation of Garden clubs, made and hung at the Veterans
Administration domiciliary, White City, for the Christmas season. Mrs. Poe, district
director, reports that about 500 of the evergreen decorations were made, sprayed, fire
proofed and bedecked with handmade bows, ornaments and with cones. Extremely large
ones were made to be hung outdoors and others went in the miles of corridors of the
domiciliary. The Siskiyou district is made up of 17 clubs in southern Oregon and north
em California. Decoration of -the domiciliary has been a 10-year project of the clubs.
In addition, the various clubs decorate the chapel each week and contribute trees, flowers,
plants and seeds through the federation-sponsored garden club at the domicilary. Both
Mrs. Poe and Mrs. Floyd are long-time garden club members and workers, and Mrs.
Floyd is a past president of the Oregon Federation of Garden clubs.
Town of Christmas Has
Yule Spirit Year 'Round
By STANLEY M. BHOWN
United Press International
Christinas, Fla.KIPIl The
life-long embition of Mrs. Ju
anila S. Tucker is to mail
more Christmas cards than
Santa Claus.
Bui the postmistress hero
doubts that her town will
catch up to Santa Clans, lnd.,
this year, in mailingseven
though more than :il)0,n)n
cards have been mailed from
this central Florida town this
season.
"It's not (he volume that
counts, It's the spirit; and we
have the Christmas spirit
here the year round," Mrs.
Tucker said.
Christmas really is a way
of life lor the 200 residents.
A small sign at the base of
the town's permanent Christ
mas tree sums up the local
sentiment:
"The permanent Christmas
tree at Christmas, Kla., is the
symbol of love and good will
the Christmas spirit every
day of the year."
The 55 y e a r-o Id post
mistress put Christmas on the
map 30 years ago by adding
her personal holiday greeting
on mail passing through the
tiny post offii'c. The gesture
caught on and grew into a
tradition.
One season It took 10 part
time workers more than three
weeks to put the town's post
mark -an evergreen tree cir
cled by "Glory to God in the
highest" on the volumes of
mail.
The Christmas post office
is in as mall gift shop owned
by Mrs. Tucker and her hus
band, Cecil. In 1055, the
Tuckers built an extension on
the back of the post office to
handle the expanded mail
traffic.
"This year we built a lobby
in the post office so people
could come In and postmark
their own cards and ease the
work load on our staff," said
Mrs. Tucker.
"People will go to all sorts
of trouble to visit Christmas
and mail cards and packages.
One lady said she had
brought her cards 1,400
miles," she said.
Actually, Christmas is one
of the oldest towns in Flori
da. The town got Its name
when a group of settlers built
a fort there on Christmas clay
In 1!);I5 for protection against
the Indians.
Nothing remains of the old
fortification, and the "Fort"
was dropped from the name
long before the post office
was established here in 18112.
Dinner Tonight
Veterans of World War I
will hold a politick dinner
and social evening tonight at

Astronaut
Is Supporter
Of UNICEF
Houston - IDPII - Col. John
Glenn, who orbited the earth
in a historic flight for the
United States, named his cap
sude, "Friendship 7," for a
very special reason.
Glenn is a firm believer In
the concept of understanding
between the people of the
world and that one of the best
ways lo accomplish this is
through the world's children.
"We are looking forward to
someday having a world
friendship among peoples,"
Glenn said, "and where should
we start but with the new
generation. . ."
The astronaut said he was
a supporter of the United Na
tions Children's Fund, better
known as UNICEF.
UNICEF is a United Na
tions agency that was formed
shortly after the UN was es
tablished. At first, it provided food to
the needy children of coun
tries decimated by World War
II. It now attempts to help
governments help their own.
In the United States, funds are
raised through the sale of
greeting cards and other
drives.
Glenn said he has been buy
ing the cards for several years
because of the spirit behind
them.
"I also have a selfish mo
tive," Glenn said. "They're
good cards."
America's first astronaut to
orbit the earth said it was his
children, John David, 16, and
Carolyn Ann, 15, who picked
the name "Friendship 7."
'Fortunately" he said, ' It
was also the name that I
wanted."
WORK SMARTER
NOT HARDER
By BERNICE STRAWN
Oregon Stite University
Do you groan at thoughts of
all you have to get done be
fore Christmas?
Just remember - "Life is
hard by the yard, by the inch
it's a cinch." Don't try to
swallow the whole yard the
last few days-start now, bite
off a few inches each day, A
written plan will help.
Electric hair dryers are a
much talked about ;ift this
year. Many dryers come in at
tractive carrying cases, and
have hoods adjustable in size
to slip over curlers. A strong
flow of warm air is needed for
fast drying, but a well-designed
hood prevents a direct
blast of air on the head.
Some hair dryers have
special features such as a plas
tic bag which connects to the
air flow for quick drying of
lingerie and hosiery, outlet
for drying nail polish, attach
ment for brush or comb dry
ing, shoulder strap to hold
dryer and long cord for a
"walk and talk" drying.
Separate hoods can be
bought for old-type dryers.
They're a help, but don't ex
pect the fast drying you get
from the new dryers.
What causes yellowing and
tiny black spots on white pil
lowcases? This is usually due to a com
bination of perspiralion, hair
oils and creams. Rub the yel
low areas gently with a soft
brush and full strength liquid
detergent or hair shampoo.
Follow with regular hot water
wash and bleach occasionally.
Be sure to use enough deter
gent. Black specks are tiny drops
of oil that settle on fabrics
and collect dirt if wash water
Music, Story On Program For Women of Unity
is not hot enough or if water
softener is needed.
Lint In the washer plagues
many homcmakers. Make sure
not to wash linty fabrics along
with dark clothes. Turn
clothes inside out to keep lint
from sticking to the outside.
Rinse out the tub after wash
ing such things as flannels,
sweaters, terry towels or dia
pers. ,
Maybe you're skimping on
detergent. Detergent helps
keep lint suspended so it can't
settle on clothes. If adding
more causes a flood of suds,
then try a low sudsing prod
uct. And if you use the wash
water over again, add a little
more detergent for the second
load of clothes.
Smart Homemakers Tell
Us:
To prevent spilling when
you pour liquid from a bowl,
touch the handle of a knife (in
vertical position) to the bowl
rim. Pour down the knife and
liquid will run in a steady
stream.
