MEDFOHD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFOBD, OREGON THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1063 5 Thanksgiving is a da for giving thanks and counting blessings. To have had the opportu nity to share with you in the American way pf . life is indeed blessing. Happy Thanksgiving to you all. CLARA and DOREEN In Tha All New Cascade Shopping Center New Film Cover Designed for Frozen Dinners Convenience foods probably have made more busy home- makers grateful to modern tech nology than anything since the invention of the refrigerator. Now, one of the quick-fix favor ites, the frozen dinner, has be come even more convenient than ever. , Now frozen dinners uncover themselves when they're put in the oven to cook. A new film cover is made of a special plas tic that is sensitive to heat so that the cover shrinks and pulls away completely from the top of the food tray when it's put in a pre-heated oven. As a resul of this new cover, the homemaker gets 40 per cent savings in cooking time only 18 minutes instead of 30. Since the cover comes off immediate ly, the food bakes rather than steams, and the quality and tex ture are better than ever. The new film replaces the old- style foil cover used on frozen dinners, and in addition to its other advantages, it does away with the problem of food getting stuck to the foil as it cooks. Stuff the pockets of a wet raincoat with tissue paper so that even the inside corners dry. Terry towels make excellent drying bases for cashmere sweaters and other delicate fabrics.

Blue Bird Project Announced LOS ANGELES - Will being "Blue Bird" help a girl in the second grade do better work in school? Camp Fire Girls, Los Angeles Area Council, has received a financial grant from the Nation al Institute of Mental Health to conduct a 4-ycar research project, to be known as "Proj ect Blue Bird: Social Group Work with the Educationally Disadvantaged," to answer questions about how group ac tivities may facilitate learning. The Ulue Bird project will differ from the regular Camp Fire Girls' program in that pro fessionally trained social group workers will be used instead of trained volunteers. Social group workers will adapt the basic Blue Bird program to the spe cial needs of the youngsters served. The group program will focus on improving school achievement and relationships with others. Girls will be referred for group service by school person nel because they are not achiev ing satisfactorily in academic work and are having difficulties in relationships with other chil dren and adults at school. Re ferrals are to be further limited to girls whose difficulties are thought to stem from a differ. ence in their family culture background. Dr. Helen Northen. chairman ot the special projects commit tee of the Los Angeles Area Council, is liaison to the Coun cil's board of directors for the project. Dr. Northen, who is also member of the National Board of Directors of Camp Fire Girls, Inc., points out this Is the first study in preventive group therapy for girls this young to be conducted under these auspices. "The very essence of mental illness is the incapacity to get along with others,' said Dr. Northen. "Hence the council and the project seek to demon strate the contribution of the social group work method in en riching the lives of young girls considered educationally disad vantaged. RABIES WAKNINCT JACKSONVILLE, Fla.
