Some of the unusual products made by the Fancy Feather company are "blos soms" for ends of pews, ar rangements for reception ta bles, headpieces, and Pru Fru birds. A Central Point woman, Mrs. Darrell Shepherd, 5238 Gebhard road, and Mrs. Gene Fallcsen, Crabtree, Ore., filed business papers for the com pany when they were neigh bors at Crabtree. When the Shepherds moved 250 miles away, the partners continued their business via the post office. Feathers Accumulate Their hobby started four years ago as a result of their husbands' fondness for hunt ing, the resulting accumula tion of feathers, and the feather hat fad. They have furnished cor sages and decorations for four - weddings, a Rainbow girls' installation, a dance re cital, an Eagles' convention, and other social events. Other products that they have made from feathers are corsages, boulonnieres, Christ mas trees, wreaths, door Santas, Easter baskets, de tachable collars. Some of the feathers that they have used have been goose, chicken, duck, pea cock, white turkey, robin, blue jay, red wing blackbird, woodpecker, sparrow hawk, and pheasant. Recently a friend invited them to pluck her flock of 30 geese. After the feathers arc gathered they are washed in the washing machine and dried in the dryer. . Two items that have heen recently popular are the feather collars that can be worn with collarless dresses or coats, and the feather "blos soms" which are being used for corsages. Fancy Feather company products have been placed in 24 states and will be on display in Canada and Alaska. Distribution has been aided by a San Francisco dealer, a Portland gift show, demon stration parties, and colored pictures in a mail order cata logue from a Longview, Wash., distributor. Mrs. Shepherd points out that feather corsages and deco rations show little deteriora tion and can be kept as me mentos of weddings or other occasions.

If you follow the old-fashioned custom of baking a dime, a ring and a thimble into a birthday cake, wrap each object in aluminum foil before sinking it into the batter.
