Jewelry Design
Goes 6 A tom ie 9
The nation’s jewelry designers
are catching' up with the atomic
age.
Winners of the recent Diamonds
U.S.A. awards exhibited modern
istic tendencies employing motifs
suggesting neutrons, protons and
electrons arranged in decorative
effects.
Fifteen jewelry designer’s from
all sections of the United States
received citations this year for
original and effective designs in
diamonds, gold, platinum and other
precious ingredients. The winning
pieces ranged from necklaces, and
bracelets to rings and earrings,
and covered a price range from
below $500 to six figures.
Among women award winners
was Marianne Ostier of New York,
whose prize entry was a pair of
earrings in diamonds and pearls
shaped like crescent moons to fit
both the top and bottom of the
ear.
A winning watch design called
“Saturnalia” hid the time mechan
ism within a miniature Earth of
blue enamel seas, platinum con
tinents and diamond equator.

Women Take Over
Blacksmith Shops
POTTER, Neb., OS’) — Black-
smithing is a woman’s business in
this western Nebraska wheat coun
try town.
Mrs. Doreen Harmsen, a 51-year-
old grandmother, is busy at the
anvil and hearth of one of the
town’s two shops.
The other is run by Mrs. Lola
Nelson, though she leaves the shpp
work to others.
Mrs. Harmsen was pressed into
service in her husband’s shop when
help was short during the war.
When he died in 1952, she took
over. She has a man to help her
with the heaviest work.
They keep the smith busy in
these parts. Mrs. Harmsen works
six long days most of the year.
During the harvest season in late
July and early August, the hours
are from 7 to 7 and sometimes
even longer, seven days a week,”
she says.

By DOROTHY V. WHIPPLE, M.D.
“May I let Tommy have french
fries, doctor?” Tommy’s mother
asked timidly. She seemed to ex
pect a lecture on the evils of fried
food.
“Are you a good cook?” I asked
her.
She looked at me in great sur
prise.
“Why, I suppose so,” she said
finally, “but why do you ask?”
“If you • are a good cook, of
">urse Tom can have french fries.”
There is a great superstition
bout fried foods. Many people
: eem to think there is some spe-
ial evil in the frying pan.
This is mostly superstition now
adays, but like many beliefs, it
has an historical basis in fact.
A generation or more ago the
custom in many households was
to keep a can of drippings on the
back of the coal stove. A ladleful
of drippings was put in the fry
ing pan whenever a food needed
to be fried.
No wonder the food so cooked
<?ot a bad reputation. The drip-
nings were kept warm on the back
of the stove, the can was seldom
emptied and washed. More di’ip-
pings were added every time the
grease needed to be poured off a
food. The drippings became ran
cid. Rancid fat is quite indigesti
ble. Food cooked in rancid fat is
likely to cause digestive troubles.

People said fried foods made them
ill. No one seemed to realize that
it was the rancid fat that caused
the trouble.
Nowadays no one has a can of
drippings on the back of the stove.
If you fry potatoes in fresh fat
those potatoes are just as good for
a child as, a boiled or mashed po
tato to which you add a lump of
butter.
Fresh fat means fat that is not
rancid. You can use bacon grease
quite safely. When you cook bacon
pour the fat into a clean contain
er. Keep it in the refrigerator un
til you want to use it. Next time
you fry bacon use a fresh clean
container for the fat you pour off.
One more precaution when you
fry foods. Do not let the grease 1
smoke. If you forget the pan and
the fire is too hot and it smokes,
throw the fat away and start
again. When fat smokes chemical
changes take place in it similar to
the changes that make it rancid.
Missionary To Philippines
To Address Wesleyans
“The flying parson of the Phil
ippines,” the Rev. Curran L.
Spottswood, will speak before the
A&M Wesley Foundation at 7 p.m.
Wednesday.
The Rev. Spottswood, who in the
last three years has opened the is
land of Mindanao for the Meth
odist Church, has returned to the
United States for a year’s furlough
from missionary service. His home
is Tampa, Fla., but he will be
studying at Southern Methodist
University in Dallas this year.
Though he has been a mission
ary to the Philippines since 1946,
Mi’. Spottswood spent the last three
years on Mindanao, an area re
moved from most Methodist work
which centers on the island of Lu
zon.
He was the first Methodist mis
sionary to go into the tropical is
land of Mindanao and he led in
the development of a Christian
rural center, Vhich sponsors med
ical, dental, agricultural, educa
tional and evangelistic work. In
three years Methodist member
ship on Mindanao has grown from
a few hundred to about 1,700.
Called the “flying parson’ be
cause he pilots his own light plane,
the “Circuit Rider,” Mr. Spotts
wood became known early in his
missionary career for his, trips to
Household Fixture
Saves Work, Time
AP Newsfeatmres
Busy housewives have discover
ed a work saver in a new paper
cup dispenser designed to blend
with the decor of any kitchen or
bathroom. It is made of transpar
ent styrene plastic with a chrome
base, and fastens easily to any
wall.
Children like to use the gay col
ored paper cups for orange juice,
milk or soda pop, and Mom finds
it a joy not to have a constant
procession of glasses to wash.
If the dispenser is placed in the
kitchen, the cups prove handy for
storing refrigerator left-overs,
pouring off bacon drippings and
many other uses.
Rev- C, L. Spottswood
remote sections of the Philippines
to preach and to direct work
camps.
Before he went to Mindanao, the
Rev. Spottswood had taught in the
Union Theological Seminary in
■Manila and had been a district
evangelist in the rugged Cagayan
area of Luzon.
A native of Mobile, Ala., Mr.
Spottswood is a graduate of Mis
sissippi State College, Yale Divin
ity School and Scarritt College. He
preached in New Mexico and Flor
ida and was, director of the Wes
ley Foundation at the University
of Florida before becoming a mis
sionary.
Caraco
Makes Style Hit
By DOROTHY ROE
Associated Press Won^en’s Editor
Today’s schoolgirls are making
fashion history. By sowing their
own, they’re turning opt clothes
with couture style at piggy-bank
prices.
One of the hits of the season,
by vote of these young moderns,
is the caraco jacket suit, which is
easy to make at home with a
standard pattern. Its softly gath
ered skirt and peit waist-length
jacket suggests the latest “mag
net line” of Paris designer Christ
ian Dior.
Local sewing center experts sug
gest making the suit in tweed. The
pattern includes a long-sleeved
blouse with a big pussycat bow
and a cummerbund to tie the skirt
and blouse together foi’ extra ser
vice as an informal date dress.
Because no two girls are built
alike, pattern adjustment' before
cutting the fabric is esential. The r
pattern chosen is particularly sim
ple for alterations. Inch rulers
printed on the pattern pieces show
where to make adjustments. The
gathered skirt eliminates hip-fit
ting problems, and the brief jacket
minimizes the waistline with flat
tering effect.
Covered buttons are prettiest on
a suit of this sort, and they’re
easy to acquire. Just take your
fabric to your local sewing center
and they’ll cover your buttons for
a small charge.
