MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGO.V WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 25, I0fi;i A 11 WORK SMARTER NOT HARDER By BERNICE STRAWN Children often get so many new toys for Christmas they don't know which one to play with next. Mrs. Roberta F r a sier, family life specialist for OSU Extension Service, sug gests that old favorites be boxed and stored on a high shelf. New ones can be kept within the child's reach. Mothers will find this helps keep the house more orderly, and when excitement of new toys wears off, the old ones will furnish the needed change. Shortcuts are the key to en joyment of your own holiday parties. Look for ways to save motions. Here are a few to start you off. If you have to make a lot of meat patties, use an ice cream dipper that holds the right amount of meat mixture. Dip the meat in ball shape directly onto a tray. Space evenly with room between. Set another tray the same size on top and press down. You can flatten all the meat patties at once. Dish up mashed potatoes, veg etables and fruit cups with a dipper. You'll save motions and also keep servings uniform. Save trips with a cart or tray (o take foods and dishes to and from the kitchen. "Our baby sitter put wet diapers on our hardwood floor and now there is a dark stain." We were asked what could be done. These stains are permanent. The only remedy is refinishing. In the future, keep vinegar wa ter handy for sponging imme diately. Then rinse, dry, and re wax. Be wary of crepe paper dec orations in your house. Bright colors fade on damp areas of the carpet or upholstery. These stains are usually impossible to remove by home remedies. You will need to call a professional rug cleaner the sooner the better.

(UPD One of the biggest and most mouth-watering Christmas din ners served here today will be at the modest duplex apartment of a generous Negro couple. For the past 19 years, Willie and May Carroll have been observing their birthdays by holding open house and serving fantastic meals. May's birth day is Dec. 25 and Willie's is May 21. Al first, Hie birthday ob servances were attended only by relatives and a few friends. But word of May's culinary skill spread, and soon strangers and some of W i 1 1 1 e 's white friends began dropping in. Last Christmas, an estimated 200 persons came to the Carroll home throughout the day to en joy the good fellowship and good food. Willie predicts more than 200 will come today. The dinner, which May began preparing last Saturday, in cludes barbecued coon, baked beaver, ground hog, wild goose, ducks, rabbit, squirrel, venison, turtle, frog legs, stuffed squash, sweet potatoes, many other vegetables and a wide variety of tasty salads and desserts. May docs all the cooking her self. Willie traps and shoots tne game and grows the vege tables. "It don't cost us much, just a little bit of time and energy," said the 53-year-old Willie, who is a porter at Union Railroad station. At the 1962 Christmas dinner, one guest remarked that the food tastes best "when Willie hunts it and May cooks it." May, who will be 51 today, is justifiably proud of her cook ing skill. Friends and relatives have offered to help her, but she won't have it. A friend made the potato salad one year and "no one ate It," May said. "Now I fix everything and there's nothing left over." The open house which starts at 7 a.m. and lasts until mid night, also will serve as a family reunion. The Carrolls' three grown children and 13 grandchildren, all of Shreveport, La., plan to attend.
