MANOR-ISMS
MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON
By ETHELYN EVANS
Our Manor membership is in
deed a cross-section, vocational
ly speaking, of our valley and
national population. Those
members who are only semi
retired or not at all, illustrate
this fact in the variety of pro
fessional or industrial activi
ties that keep them busy from
day to day.
Both the Rev. and Mrs. Rob

sionary field for many years.
They were sent from their Eng

and Mrs. Moss at that time
were the only white commu
cants in the parish. After a long
and distinguished career, Ca
non Moss retired while in Pasa
dena, Calif. Since moving into
the Manor, he has been most
diligent and helpful in the work
of St. Mark's church in Mod
ford, and has initiated a regu
lar communion service for
Episcopalians in the Manor.

Dr. Clcndenin retired from

Chemical oven cleaners do a
wonderful job if used correctly.
We'd like to caution you
against putting the cleaner on
the thermostat bulb. This is the
small tube you'll find usually
near the top and at one side of
the oven. The cleaner may
cause corrosion of this metal
and interfere with the tempera
ture control. However, the oven
lining is not hurt by the chemical.
Prevent mildew in awnings
and tents by treating with a
mildew resistant finish. These
products can be bought at drug
stores.
Awnings should be lowered
immediately after rain so dirty
water will not collect in folds
and cause stains.
Many refrigerators conk out
during this season. If you bought
yours around 1950 or earlier,
better have some money set
aside. Surveys show you can't
expect more than about IB years
use. sometimes less.
We're often asked what size
to buy. This depends a lot on
the family. It might help to
know that nearly four out of ten
families bought a 14 cubic foot
size or larger this year. Bigger
ones get more popular e a c n
year.

don't let them stand more than
an hour before cooking begins.
Roasts chilled to the core or
frozen meats partially thawed
can stand up to two hours. Pud
dings and custards that cook in
a dish surrounded by ice water
can stand an hour.
Why not practice using your
automatic oven timer when you
are at home so you'll feel con
fident you have operated it cor
rectly.
Busy mothers do you make
the most of your automatically
timed ovens? You can get extra
bonus time away from the kit
chen because the oven turns on
and turns off in your absence.
Make sure foods you choose
are safe to place in the oven
ahead of time. Virginia Weiser,

In a study, the researchers
found home billiards popular

Washington Played Billiards
Researchers for the firm said
that George Washington had a
table in his Mount Vernon home
where he played the game with
Thomas Jefferson, Alexander
Hamilton, and the French
statesman and general, the Mar
quis De Lafayette.
One of the great billiard play
ers of modern times was Wil

in his long career. He died in
1959 at the age of 71.
Rejuvenation of the game for
the whole family began about
two years ago when the dimly
lighted "pool hall" began to get
its face lifted.
As New York's department of
state remarked in that an

Solution for Iron
Problems Outlined;
Booklet Available
Corvallis How to lick the
iron problem in home water
supplies is told in a new fact
sheet from Oregon State uni- i
vcrsity.
Iron is the pesky mineral that
leaves its rusty mark on home
laundry and plumbing fixtures.
It can also cause off-flavors in
coffee and tea.
Several ways to solve the iron
problem are suggested in the
fact sheet. These include instal
lation of a home water condi
tioner, possible use of a iron re
moval filter in Ihe plumbing sys
tem, use of chemicals to keep
the iron causing compounds sol
uble, and the easiest of all
packaged water conditioners.
Ways of removing those trou
blesome rust spots are also told
in the publication. A copy may
be obtained from any county ex-:
