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.

Walter Lee Ray
Family and friends of Walter
Lee Ray gathered at the home
of his daughter, Mrs. Victor
Milnes, 15 North Gtoveland Ave
nue, November 23, to observe
Mr. Ray's ninety-eighth birth
day. Most of the evening was
spent in reminiscing about Mr.
Kay s colorful life and in re
newing old friendships.
Walter Ray was born Novem
ber 23, 1865 on a cattle ranch
near Austin, Tex., and he was
the grandson of General Robert
E. Lee s sister. He was adopted
as a "blood brother" by the
Kywah Indian tribe while still a
boy. He was later adopted as
an honorary member of the
I Apache tribe for his understand
ing and reconciliation efforts
between the Indians and whites
in early-day Texas.
Mr. Ray graduated from Bick-
ler Military Institute at the age
of 17 and won a scholarship to
Rockford College in Illinois
where he studied engineering.
He took graduate work in min
ing engineering and chemical
analysis at Chicago University.
In Guatemala
Mr. Ray accepted a job with
mining interests in Guatemala
as a mining engineer. His early
day association with the Indian
tribes in Texas helped him suc
ceed in various expeditions into
the interior of Guatemala where
the Yaki Indians were very
hostile. These Indians once led
him to a cave 100 miles back
I into the interior from Nacajaro

where he discovered human
skeletons over eight feet tall.
The Smithsonian Institute inter
viewed him several years ago
prior to making an expedition to
look for this cave and other in
formation in the interior of Guat
emala. Mr. Ray has never
learned of the success of this ex
pedition. Mr. Ray was surveyor for Los
Angeles County for several years
and became very well known
for his ability to locate lost sur
vey markers. On one survey he
located six territorial markers
which had been lost for over 50
years and had been placed by
the early Spanish landowners.
Adventurous Work
Mr. Ray has had many adven
turous jobs during his life. He
worked with the U.S. Secret
Service at one time with most
of his work being in South
America locating missing per
sons and fugitives. He has been
a cattle rancher, land developer
asayer and has engaged in
many other occupations but the
most interesting are those in
connection with Indian affairs in
early day Texas.
Mr. Ray enjoys reasonably
good health for his age and lives
at 1214 West Eighth Street, Med
ford. Except for a short resi
dence, in Arizona, Mr. Ray has
lived In Southern Oregon since
his retirement in 1928. His great
est enjoyment comes from relat
ing information of his early life
to his friends and his memory
is especially keen.
At the birthday observance
Mrs. Milnes served- refresh
ments assisted by her daughter,
Vicki. Mrs. Richard Kaye pre
sided at the punch bowl and
Mrs. Carrie Milnes poured cof
fee. Mr. Ray cut the first piece
of the birthday cake decorated
with outdoor scenes depicting
his adventurous life. Mrs. Ken
neth Murray then served the
cake.
The refreshment table was
decorated with chartreuse
chrysanthemums, frosted grapes
and tapers.
Guests

Mr. and Mrs. Charles Strayer,
Mr. and Mrs. John Greaves, Mr.
and Mrs. Mead Cooley, Mr. and
Mrs. Howard Stoll, Mr. Murray,
Bruce Kaye, Mr. and Mrs. D . J.
Clifford, Mrs. Catherine Jay,
and Mr. Milnes. A grandson,
Gregory Milnes, a student at

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. (UPI)
Although human rabies is
rare the growing frequency of
pet animal bites among chil
dren, plus the reservoir of rab
ies in wildlife, makes each bite
a matter of concern, cautions
Dr. Hugh A. Carlthcrs, of Jack
sonville. Reporting in the New Eng
land Journal of Medicine, Dr.
Carithcrs also suggested that
small children shouldn't have
pets until they art: old enough
to realize that teasing may re
sult in a bite.
