The prayers of Cali GOOD NEWS Sandra Bourn, 19, hospitalized in Omaha, Neb., has been told doctors have ruled out the possibility she might lose her legs. Both legs were deeply frozen after her car stalled near Fullerton, Neb., and the girl walked four miles in deep snow and 30 below zero cold before finding help at a farmhouse. Menacing dogs kept her away from two farms earlier, she said. (UPI) "An. open window Mn this Not uiJc open.

((UPI) n : brills Maggots Not Only Repulsive, But Anti-Social Insects. Too . The "one for all and all for one" principle doesn't apply in that order of living things we call the maggots. In spite of the fact that they, like ants, bees, termites and many varieties of wasps, would seem to be a united group, we just could not call the maggots "social insects.'' The repulsive little demons have some of the instinctive desire to stay together in a loosely organized group, but each weather? " i MEDFORD l;.7kr aril ir3 1 . 1 ' ; ! ! I : Small Worlds Around Us By LYNN M. W ATKINS (Register and Tribunt Syndicate, 1963) larva is really only interested in its own person survival. There is no thought, or de sire, to further the welfare of the colony as in the case with the genuine social insects. bach individual maggot is only interested in its own preservation. The group of ants, bees or termits always works for the good of the colony, each con tributing its bit, regardless of how small, to the better ment of the entire organiza tion. There is no such thing as selfishness in the ranks of the social insects. They will even sacrifice their own life, if need be, to help the others. The honeybee will whip her wings to tatters, will willingly shorten her brief life just to add her contribution to the community. The termites and the ants will do the same, as will some of the wasps. Fine Cooperation These social inrccts have brought cooperation to a high degree of almost absolute perfection. In fact, ihcy serve as a lesson even to humans. "Go to the ant, thou slug gard, consider her ways and be wise," is not just a group of meaningless words, it is a principle many of us could well imitate. Industry is a way o life to the ant, bee and termite. But the maggots, the repul sive, naked worms that crawl in and out," all the time eating that which is evil, just to develop into flying insects that will later search out other decayed flesh upon which to lay their eggs to pro duce more maggots, have no consideration for their broth ers and sisters which attempt to live and carry out the samp purpose alongside them. The female fly that lays her eggs in decayed meal has no thought or consideration for the offspring that will later hatch from those egg.?. Feast Returned Immediately aftcE the off spring rmrrge from the egg, they begin their gruesome feast, having no appetite for solid or healthy tissue and no taste for that which in fresh but only interested in that which is putrid. In their low ly and repulsive way they serve a definite purpose in Na ture's scheme o livimj even though they only feed on that which Is dead. There may be hundreds, even thousands, of maggots in a single animal carcass, busily eating only that flesh that is decomposing and seemingly trying to remain in a sroun. hut not interested in anv other member. Most of us view the mag gots in decayed flesh in abject horror; mostly we would deny the fact that these little things have been used to clean out "proud flcfh" from wounds in human beings. Maggots raised under sterile condition)! have been introduced into open wounds and, following Ihe rtirlalps of Ihpir appetites, have avoided healthy tissue but cleaned out that which was decayed. The larva of the fly, called ; the maggot, works only for Itself; it goes aione. interested i only in itself, wanting only to feed, not caring what hap pens to any of Its fellows. If this isn't anti-social, it cer tainly is magnified selfish ness; personal survival is the i only goal toward i,Mch the larva of the fly strives. One bushel of sweet pota toes will produce up to 10 pounds of commercial starch wicn properly processed. j MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. Feeding the Family By ZOLA rood Hubbard Squash Is Baked Treat Hubbard squash because of its size is usually displayed ;f!and purchased by the piece, the shopper estimating the numoer oi necueu M-rviugs. Have Hubbard squash at room temperature, fieai oven to 400 degrees. Wash squash rind, wipe cut surface with a damp paper towel if needed and remove seeds. Cut squash in three to j four inch squares. Select a i baking pan for cooking the ; squash either .covered or un covered. Allow approximatc i ly 45 minutes for squash which is covered for part of the baking time and about one hour for squash baked uncovered. Sprinkle squash with salt. Pour a little hot water into the pan and cover if this method is desired. Bake until squash is partly done, about 25 minutes for covered squash and 40 min utes if uncovered. Remove squash ' from oven, score pieces and dot generously with butter and sprinkle with brown sugar. A few grains of nutmeg may be added if you like. Return squash to oven and continue baking uncover ed until done. . Honey Hints Honey comes in a variety of flavors so purchase the one that appeals most. The color of honey ranges from almost white to golden tan. Light amber honey, golden in color, is available in many brands. It is known as the all-purpose honey. Be sure to read the la bels as the words "light am ber" indicate color only - not flavor. Honey purchased in large containers is a budget watch er's dream. It is a natural, simple sugar guaranteed to give you zip and lasting ener gy quickly. Honey does not spoil. Do not refrigerate. It contains all the vitamins and minerals it needs for its own perfect digestion. Hot Tomato - A satisfying soup for sipping. In saucepan, combine one can condensed beef broth, one can condensed tomato soup, IVi soup cans water, one bay leaf and one- fourth teaspoon celery salt. Heat; simmer a few minutes to blend flavors.

Winter Peart Recommended Among our favorite"wecks" of the year is "National Kraut and Frankfurter Week" which is currently being cele brated and that means special displays and special prices that make this combo a bud- geteers delight. Our only fur ther suggestion is that hot from - the - oven cornbtead or corn muffins made with a popular muffin mix adds to this super specialty. Personal ly, we add finely chopped onions and finely chopped ap ple to the sauerkraut, layer it with split frankfurters and pour over all, maybe a cup of California sauternc; simmer gently or bake in casserole. Plenty of potatoes put them in hearty February meals often. Give the men of the family a childhood - re membered treat with old-fashioned country - fried potatoes. They're sliced raw, fried in flavorful bacon fat with salt and pepper and maybe finely chopped onion added. Scal loped potatoes too are a long, time family favorite. Eggs, an efficient source of nigh quality protein, are in abundant supply locally. They are of high quality, packed with good nutrition. Grade labeling is your best guide to egg quality. For a change, read all the information on the egg carton. Size has noth ing to do with quality. Send the family to school and to work well fortified with solid breakfast that includes a couple of eggs. Winter pears are displayed in abundance; far more than usual at this season. They're of excellent quality, surpris ingly low in price. The best known winter pears are An jou, Bosc, Cornice anw Winter Nelis. Enjoy them out-of-hand in salads, in desserts. Fine coast-caught fish and shellfish offer great variety, They're sea bass, swordfish a variety of fish fillets, fish sticks. Oysters are plentiful and quality is the best. Now is peak season for enjoyment of Dungencss crab. Vegetables and fruit: Consid er plentiful potatoes, onions topped carrots, lettuce, a var iety of squashes, sweet pota toes, cauliflower and celery Crisp red and golden apple! grapes, winter pears, grape fruit and bananas invite in spection and enjoyment. Nav al oranges despite cold weath er are good buys. JAY ALLEN (0, THE NEW LARK 7A BY tudchaker '63 BiG FAMILIES . . . CAMPERS . . .
