Honored by G. O. P. League

League members pointed out
that the G. o. P. ranks in Con-
greSS were increased by well
over so this year and most of the
newcomers accepted the invita-
ton to yesterdays fete.
Guests were greeted on their
arrival by Mrs. Carroll Kearns,
wife of the Representative from
Pennsylvania, who has been
president of the league for the
past four years. Mrs. Kearns will
complete her second two-year
term of Office in the near future

was probably the last large social
event to be held in her admins
tration.
AS the new president of the
National Federation of Republi-
can Women, however, she will
continue to be one of the most
active G. O. P. leaders in Wash
ington.

dress in shades of navy and
white with black velvet trim,
was assisted in receiving by
members of the executive board.
AS the reception was a late
party-the hours were from 6 to
ga generous buffet had been
provided. The menu included
ham and turkey, with rolls, and
the sandwiches were of the sub
stantial variety, designed to
please masculine guests.
In addition to the honor
guests. those invited included the
Republican leaders in the Sen
ate and House. The G. o. P.
women members of Congress
are all honorary members of the
league so their names were auto
matically on the guest list.
Mrs. John Morrison Kerr
served as chairman of the Re-
ception Committee, assisted by
Mrs. William S. Culbertson, the
vice chairman, and Mrs. William
F. Burdick and Mrs. Anna Cote.

intelligent, modest women who
believed their locality had no

talking about their children. Did
they have children away at
school they sent food packages

of the country? It. was like a

By Violet Faulkner

After months Of planning
California spice house has an
nounced the addition of five teas
to their line. The tea business is
q comparatively new venture
with them. It was last fall they
introduced the first two one
favored with mint. the other
fragrant with spice and now
to complete the roster they've
q dded Da rjeeling, jasmine,
orange pekoe, Formosa oolong
and green. You'll find them at
the speciality stores packaged in
Sl2 to 4-ounce canisters.
Frederic johnson, head of the
house. claims he has one of the
best experts in the business to
oversee the blending and tasting
of the tea bouquets. To appreci-
ate a really fine tea, it's we'll to
know something of its origin.
It will also explain why some
teas are, more expensive than
others. The finest Darjeeling
is grown from Chinese seed
5000 feet high in the Himalayas.
This tea can be picked only two
weeks in the year during the
second flush" or growth, when
nature provides cool nights and
misty days. AS a result, only a
limited amount of the best quail
ity is produced and is quickly
pounced on by the agents in the
Calcutta auctions.
The jasmine is a Formosa tea,
highly scented with three grades
of jasmine flowers, each impart-
ing a slightly different flavor.
The Chinese are especially par
tial to this tea. known as Pouch
ong leaf. Large quantities go to
the Chinese mainland to be used
in preference to their own jas
mine tea. Orange pekoe is a
well-balanced blend of Ceylon,
India and Darjeeling teas. only
mountain-grown varities are
used, from districts where the
cool nights and slow growth
make the highest grade.
Formosa oolong is a semi
black tea and considered the
finest of all oolongS. It is grown
on the island of F'ormosa where
the curing is a closely guarded
secret. The same families have
been engaged in this industry for
generations and pride them
selves on their product. Green
tea is blend of Japan and For
mosa green. It's picked when the
new shoots and young leaves
burst forth in early spring after
a dormant winter rest and are
full of juice. The first picking
is considered to be the best quail
ity.
Buys Of the Week
Beef is still the big news in
the meat department. Supplies
have improved to the point
where beef appears on the
United States Department of
Agriculture's list of plentiful
foods. Prices have declined
enough for the thrifty house.
wife to include it often on the
weekly menu. This week end
look for good buys in round
steak. Prices will be the lowest
in years.
Heavy lamb will also be prom
inent at meat counters during
the coming month, and on the
fish side you'll find frozen cod
and haddock f1lletS featured.
Broilers, fryers and turkeys will
be available in quantity for the
Easter table.
Carrots, celery, lettuce. good
supplies of Irish potatoes. dry
lima beans and dry pea beans
can be counted on as good val
ues for April. Add to this list
oranges and grapefruit in both
the fresh and processed forms.

IMPORTANT TO GIVE THE
RIGHT DRIVING SIGNALS

Raleigh, Feb. 5.-The North

with an appeal to motorists to
know and use proper signals for
turning and stopping.
Driving Signals, the campaign
title, is the February theme be-

"Give the other fellow a chance"

countering somebody who. never

The trucking official explained
that on making turns, plenty of
time should be taken to move into
the lane nearest the right or left
direction of turn, and begin signal
ling well before the turn. Gradual
movement prevents collisions with
other vehicles.
"Turn signals may be given by
hand or by the use of approved
electrical or mechanical signals"
he said. "Ample time should be
allowed for signalling. The profess
sional truck driver begins his sig

maneuver," he concluded.
