To read about it is apt to be fruitless, be cause it al' depends on one person. Guess who? Try writ ing down each day what you "must do," "ought to do" and "hope to do." What fun it is to cross off those finished chores - especially those hope- to-do jobs. Is storage space tight in your kitchen? Sardines may not be comfortable, but they are well-organized. Maybe that's a smart tip. Organize that big open space under the sink with one or more of these ideas: cleanser rack on the door, sliding towel bars, re movable step shelf, and port able sliding shelves, now sold at stores. These devices will pack more into the space even in a trailer or apartment. And they go with you when you move. For more budget ideas for kitchen storage stretchers, write me for our OSU Exten sion bulletin, "Better Kitchen Storage." It's free. Are chemicals used to con trol pests on fruits and vege tables a hazard to your tam ily's health? T'.iis is a contro versial subject. You'd be pay ing higher prices if chemicals weren't used, because some of these foods would be scarce. Experts tell us chemical con trol of plant disease has more than doubled the yield of to matoes, a valuable source of vitamin C. Dr. Virgil Freed, head of OSU's Department of Agri cultural Chemistry, says that these chemicals, although poi sonous, offer no substantial hazards to humans if used correctly. Without them, both consumer and farmer would suffer. The safety record has been remarkably good. What doe? this mean to you homemakers? For one thing, foods eaten raw, uch as ap ples or tomatoet, should be thoroughly washed. Peeling them hehjs, too. Dr. Freed says most food on the market meets safety standards of the U.S. Department of Agricul ture and Food and Drug ad ministration. Big food processors have experts in the field checking to make sure chemicals are Couples Present For Celebration Montague - Mr. and Mrs. James Rohrer and Mr. and Mrs. Carl Mort and four chil dren were in Redding Decem ber 25 for the golden wedding anniversary celebration of the parents of Mr. Mort and Mrs. Rohrer.

Genial Cookbook Author Has Made Food a Career 117 S, CcnSrzl 773-7301 Open Friday 'Til 9 p.m. There are plenty of men in this world who like to eat well, but it is doubtful if any of them has devised a more varied or exciting career from the pleasures of food than has James A. Beard. Although he is perhaps best known as author of a dozen best-selling cookbooks, there are other strings to the Beard bow. This month, he initiates the seventh season of his highly successful New York cooking school. He is a fre quent contributor io several top-drawer magazines. For years, he has been consultant to Restaurant Associates, cre ators of such famed Manhat tan eating spots as the Four Seasons. Both the champagne and cognac industries retain Mr. Beard as consultant, as do several major food companies for which he dreams up new recipes and helps to develop new products. It's a busy life, any way you look at It. From Portland How does a career like this evolve? Where do you start if you want to become one of the worlds authorities on good food? If you are James Beard, you start in Portland, Ore., in the first decade of the twentieth century. "My mother was an English wom an who married rather late in life," says Jim. "When she came to live in Portland, she had already followed her wanderlust to many countries of the world. It was from her that I first learned about food in an international sense." But the truth of the mat ter is that food was not the main interest in the Beard household in those days. It was music. Young Jim was a singer with such a rare and beautiful voice that his career was clearly indicated. He sang so much that his enthu siasm proved to be his down fall. A throat ailment resulted and his career in music sud denly ended. Without losing a beat, Jim Beard turned to the theater and spent much of the 1920's on the stage. For more than two years during that decade, he acted with the great Wal ter Hampden in such classics as "Cyrano de Bergcrac" and Othello." About this time, radio be gan to thrive. Jim Beard went to San Francisco where he became one of the pioneers in radio acting, appearing regularly on an early west coast network. It was through his radio work that he was offered an opportunity to make radio food commercials the first time he actually received pa-y for work with frad. Inevitably, Jim made his way to New York with an idea for a unique food busi ness. It was in 1937 that he and a partner, William Rhode, opened a little shop on East 66th street in Manhat tan called Hors d'Ocuvres. Inc." "That explains it." says Jim. "We made nothing but hors d'oeuvres. Believe it or not, we never used bread as a base! It was an intriguing business, but it ended with I the war." By this time, Jim Beard i had acquired a reputation as I knowledgeable man with a truffle. Just when "Hon d'Oeuvres, Inc., was closing, I New York publisher asked . him to write a cookbook. ; Thus, the first of more than i dozen Illustrious cookbooks j by James A. Beard oppcared i in the early 40 s under the title, "Hors d'Ocuvres and Canapes." Turning Point During the war, Jim Beard devoted his talents to the 'United Seamen's Service, set ting up and staffing centers (or the Merchant Marine all j over the world. "This was a turning point for me." he says today. "Our Merchant Ma-1 rlnt centers were established ' Pink, Yellow Now in Style j United Press International Mid-winter colors most likely to succeed: pink and yellow, both extremely effec- tive combined with gray. Also 1 bright red, navy and light blue. i The newest fur coats for ; teenagers' suits and coats are frankly fukc. Notable notes include big buttons, leather trim, hoods and a muff. For men, the classic peaked cap will be a favorite this sea sun for weekend wear. A ' typical model is of British houndstooth tweed in subtle shades of olive and brown. Newsworthy for little girls: nautical inspired shirts such as the square necked striped j French sailor and the solid color middy.

A new sole idea for Spring: patent leather right through to the sole, with gleam over and under the foot! A 7 in such diverse cities as Mar seilles, Rio de Janeiro, Pana ma, Casablanca and Naples. I learned a tremendous lot about foreign foods in these places. I also learned another important skill how to shop for food." Today, Jim Beard is that rare New Yorker who lives in his own house in Manhat tan, a ninetcenlh-c e n t u r y brick house in Greenwich Village. Everywhere, Jim's elegant taste and warm per sonality are in evidence, no where more so than in the un usual kitchen on the second floor. Most of the kitchen walls are a soft, inviting olive green. The far wall is pa pered in a striking black-and-white pineapple design huge pineapples, some of them al most three feet tall. The cen ter of the kitchen is dominat ed by an unusual, U-shaped aray of table-top, two-burner stoves and working areas. Here, cooking school demon strations are given, here the student tries his hand at new skills. "His" hand, did we say? We didl More than 80 per cent of the students who attend the Beard cooking classes are men. "Many of my students are doctors, public relations men, writers, people in the theater arts," sayi Jim Beard. "Generally, they arc people who think of food prepara tion as an art form."
