 Councilman Baltzo reported the property and equipment committee had given the Girl Scouts a five year lease, for the sum of S1.00, on the city lot adjoining the Binkley farm on which the Girl Scouts are going to erect a Troop House. Al Binkley has donated the lumber, giving the Scouts permission to tear down a barn on his property and use the lumber to build the Troop House. Baltzo eplained that the lease was given with the un- dersanding that the lot can be re- claimed by the city at any time.
 It was reported that the Utility Board had recommended that H. R. Coulter be given permission to in- sail an electric heater in his build ing on Front Street, with the un- derstanding that MT. Coulter pays for the transformer necessary and installation chargs and that pow CT for heating will be furnished for heating at cents per kilowatt. The Utility Board report said it had agreed that this would be in the nature of an experiment for the town to see if it can furnish heating power at 2 cents and still make a profit. It was recommend ed the experiment be tried for a period of not less than six months It was also pointed out it would aid consumers also by demonstrat- ing whether residents could use electric heating to an advantage over oil Council agreed to accept the Utility Boards proposition with MT. Coulter but pointed out that the Utility Board served only in an advisory capacity and had no authority to act. That it was the Councils province to handle af- fairs dealing with public utilities.
 Repairs to the sidewalk in front of the Wheeler building were dis cussed. Councilman Custard sug- gested a ansphalt surface as the most practicable and inepenaive method of repair. Street Committee was authorized to look into it.
 Councilman Custard also recon mended that the 800 feet of water pipe which the city now has on hand be laid from Angerman's Cor ner to the sawmill and cannery corner and a shut off be installed at Angerman's Corner so that in case of a break, as was suffered a week or so ago, the whole town would not be without water.

World Federation
Discussed Before
BAHIA iCommunity

Rabbi Samuel H. Berkowitz, di-
rector of B'nai Births Hillel Foun-
dalton at George Washington Uni
versity, last night told the Wash
ington Bahai Community that
dreams of a successful world fed
Grafton cannot be fulfilled in prac-
tice through law. but only spirit
ually.
Billed as Young Peoples SYM
postum" devoted to Human Rights
and World Federation" the meeting,
held at the BahaI Center, 1908 I
street NV, turned into an EXPOSE
ton of the Bahai faith This is
aimed at destroying religious and
other prejudices and arriving at
world brotherhood.
Rabbi Berkowitz said that while
men seek a world federation, they
cannot legislate either this or hui
man rights. He declared the indi-
vidual Is being considered now by
the United Nations. He said he is
not so sure Judaism is prepared
for q world federation, especially If
the State OF Israel is given up. He
said he would be bored in a world
where there was no room for indi-
viduality.
THE right to be ones self is the
greatest and only right" he declared.
The Bahai position was expressed
by one of the forum speakers, Low
ell johnson, instructor of radio at
Syracuse University, member Of
the faith. He said his faith in
tegrates all other religions, making
them one. He declared the prime
need is a basic moral code to which
every one can subscribe. He listed
the prejudices that must be gotten
rid of as economic. political, pa
triotic, racial and religious.
He said the Bahai faith adds
faith in politics, economics, in ones
country, in the whole human race
and in God.
Don Myrick, president of the
World Government Seminar Group,
George Washington University, lead
ing OH the discussion, declared every
form OF prejudice must be done
away with and said enforcement
of rights will be gradual. He said
laws enacted by q world assembly
and backed by world public opinion
will be the guarantee OF mans
rights.
George B. Christian, president of
the student body at the Howard
University, School of Religion, told
the audience there Is "a typranny
of fear lowering over the world"
He said neither capitalism nor COM
munism will conquer the world, that
each side is preparing for war, but
no one can win, for it will be a
wholesale massacre.
Joel Marangella, chairman Of the
Arlington Bahai Community, pre-
sided. Dean Warner Lawson of

DO you think celery Is just to
be used as an appetizer, plain,
crisped or stuffed? If so, you are
missing serving some very delicious
and unusual dishes.
Celery, incidentally, belongs to
the parsley family, and has been
used as a medicine for hundreds
and hundreds of years. In Europe
for centuries the plant grew wild
in the marshy areas-it was the
early part of the 18th century be-
fore any effort was made to refine
and really cultivate the plant. Wild
celery was named "smallage," and
it was believed that eating it would
purify the blood" You undoubted-
" have read references to small
age" in books about the Middle
Ages, and probably wondered just
what 1t was.
Diced carrots have been insulting
fresh green peas for long time.
as If really fresh, good peas needed
anything except little sugar and
chopped mint in the cooking! But
we once had Finnish cook who
combined carrots with diced celery
which was an entirely different
story. The flavor of the celery i'm
parted new interest to the bland
carrots and the yellow popped up
the white. Just little lemon juice,
salt, butter and freshly ground
black pepper was used to dress the
combinations.
Since her day I've tried my hand
at other celery dishes. There Is,
of course, praised celery to serve
with roast or game. but I've told
you Of that before. I've also varied

WhyGrow
Old?
By Josephine Lowman

We think of hair as an append
age, which, Of course, it is, but the
most important part of your hair is
below the surface of the skin. Here
rests the little bulb at the end OF
each follicle and through this bulb
your hair receives its nourishment.
This nourishment must come from
your blood stream. If that is de-
pleted in vital elements your hair
cannot be lovely. Therefore, diet
and general health play an impor-
tant part in topknot beauty. Be
certain your diet contains all OF the
elements of good nutrition and then
increase the blood supply through
scalp massage.
Many women who cannot afford to
go to a beauty salon for this mas
sage pass it up because the arms
and fingers become so very tired
when trying to do it themselves.
The following position will be
more restful. Sit in front of your
dressing table. Place your elbows
on the table and put your head in
your hands. Spread your fingers
over your scalp. Massage the scalp
by using rotary motion with your
fingers. Keep your fingers in place
and make your scalp move. After a
while. place your fingers over diff
ferent spot and continue changing
position until the entire head has
been covered.
Many businessWomen and over
tired housewives have extremely oily
scalps. When you are overworked
or tired or nervous, tension is Gre
ated in the muscles of the scalp.
This interferes with the normal
function of the glands which supply
the hair follicle. The little oil ducts
work overtime and oil overhoWs onto
the surface of the scalp.
If this is happening to you, try a
letdown and simpler life. Lead a
healthful life with plenty of sleep
and rest. Eat properly, use good
tonic for oily scalps, massage your
scalp and brush your hair daily. 1t
Is truly wonderful how the general
condition Of the body as a whole is
reflected In hair and eyes and skin!

Have you decided what you're
going to do about New Years Day
dinner? Or are you still on the
fence trying to muster up the
courage to 60 through another OF
those holiday cooking orgies?
This year why not dispense with
an elaborate dinner so you can have
most of the day free to make few
social calls and then come home to
light buffet supper. With the
menu I have in mind you'll have
time to relax and spend nice lei
surely afternoon doing whatever
suits your mood. Maybe in an un-
guarded moment you have invited
another couple to drop by for bite.
Well. you can still plan a light
hearted meal where the piece de
resistance can be prepared the pre-
vious afternoon.
You are probably familiar with
that favorite appetizer spread made
of sharply seasoned, mashed avo-
cados that always gets such q round
of applause whenever it's served.
Here's my suggestion use this
selfsame tasty spread in ring mold,
made with gelatin base, of course,
and then fill the center with chicken
or turkey salad. If you're pretty
tired of fowl by this time heap the
center with seafood mixture. The
rosy pink color of shrimp, for ex-
ample, would make a lovely con-
trast because the ring mold will be
a beautiful pale shade of green. To
60 with the salad-fllled ring, serve
garlic ripe olives, carrot curls, celery
hearts, pickles and green onions.
Add a pan of hot rolls which you
can make up in a jiffy from box
of prepared roll mix, big, big pot
of coffee and for dessert nothing
is more perfect and easy than fruit
tray.
Like the ring mold, the garlic
olives really should be fixed the day
before so they will have chance
to season. Crush a Glove of garlic in
mixing bowl, add half cup OF
olive or salad oil. Then drain the
liquid from a can of ripe olives. put
them in the bowl with the garlic oil
and cover. Let them stand at room
temperature at least several hours
or overnight. When you are ready
to arrange the relish tray, remove

If the torrent Of talk about RI
positive and Ri negative blood fac
tors and their dangers for prospec'
tive mothers has left you uneasy
the new Public Affairs pamphlet
"Blood's Magic for ALL" should helr
allay your fears.
Ri, author Alton Blakeslee, Asso.
ciated Press science writer, points
out, is the name for an inherited
blood-group factor in human red
cells. It stands for Rhesus, because
1t was first detected in Rhesus
monkeys. About IS per cent of white
Americans have the Rh factor in
their blood, and are "Rh positives.'
The other IS per cent don't, and are,
of course, "Rh negatives"
There has been a lot of pub
licity, and a lot of needless worry,
Mr.. Blakeslee declares, about the
Ri factor in marriage and preg-
nancies. A look at the facts will
Danish many of the needless fears.
There Is the possibility of trouble
only when a woman with Ri mega
tive blood marries a man with Rh
positive blood. This kind of match
occurs in only about IS per cent of
all marriages in the United States.
Even then, trouble only occurs when
the baby inherits the fathers Rh
positive blood type. And this only
happens to about half Of the Is
per cent.
When this does happen, the moth
er's system may begin to produce
trouble-making antibodies against
the baby's Ri positive blood.
Doctors now can test the mother
and father, learn whether the
mother has developed enough anti
bodies to cause trouble, and be pre-
pared for difficulties when the baby
is born. A complete TRANSMISSION can
be given of Rh negative blood to
replace the baby's Rh positive blood
In recent years, dozens of babies
lives have been saved in this way
Difficulties of this sort usually dc
not occur with the first baby.
Negative" persons, too, who have
had blood transfusions of Rh posi-
tive blood must take care that they
do not receive Ri positive transfu-
sions again. 1t could be fatal. Per-
sons whose blood is Rh negative
and who have had TRANSMISSION
should Immediately have blood
test to learn whether or not they
have become "Rh sensitized." This
happened often during the war, to
soldiers and civilian, before the Ri
factor was fully understood.

Mothers and the Rh Factor
Other blood "facts" include ::

Z Other blood facts" include:
In a modern hospital. in q large
city today, Mr.. Blakeslee declares.
you might see brain surgeon place
a soft, white, spongy mass into the
wound. The sponge, fibrin foam,
is made from human blood. It
quickly stops the bleeding, and is
left there. The patients body will
later digest and absorb it.
AS he nears the end of the opera
ton, the doctor covers the exposed
brain with a transparent plastic film
that looks like cellophane. Made
from blood, this film will stay until
the body manufactures new COW
ering.
Many uses for the plasma proteins,
amazing uses. are described in the
pamphlet. They combat shock,
fight communicable diseases and
other bodily ills, and help to deter
mine blood types. Leaders in blood
research feel quite confident that
other disease antibodies can be OBJ
tanned in the same way. Today,
eight pints of blood, when converted
into blood products, can help 80 or
more people.
When the war ended, the Red
Cross blood bank took in its
shingle. But so great was the need
that it has been pressed into serv-
ice again. Now under way Is q
program designed to make it pos
sible for blood to be made quickly
available to all parts of the coun-
try.
Within a few years." Mr..
Blakeslee maintains, by co-ordi-
nation of all blood banks-those in
the Red Cross program, private
blood banks and hospital banks
the entire country will be pro-
tected against local, regional or
national disasters. Blood supplies
will not be concentrated in only o
few large cities. There will be arti-
fetal arteries spanning the nation,
bringing whole blood and blood
medicines to the sick and injured
in any locality" The author adds
that in the event of atomic war.
the need for such a bank cannot
be oyerestimated.
AS in wartime, those who give
their blood at the Red Gross CEN
ter will not be paid. Nor is the
person receiving the blood or med
icine charged for it. The blood.
one thing that cannot be produced
synthetically, is handled as gift.

to use on salads; it is nicely favored

Maybe you are an expert at max
ing those cute little carrot curls
but I always have trouble slicing
the carrots thin enough. Here's a
tip ran across the other day and
I find it works like a charm.
Usually. the carrots have been in
the hydrator pan getting cold and
crisp: If you rinse the carrots in hot
water first to lessen the crispness
they will cut in paper-thin slices
much more readily and have less
tendency to break. Roll the slices
into curls and fasten with tooth
pick; plunge them into ice water
and leave until serving time.
