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.

Negro Couple Hosts For
Biggest Hoiday Dinner
By WILLIAM COOK
United Press International
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (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.
