| is particularly serious. These
countries need teachers, nurses,
tractor mechanics, surveyors, and
other technicians who are ready to
work at their specialties.
Let me remind you that when a
Peace Corps volunteer is stationed in
foreign country, he is not working
ON something called a Peace Corps
project; he is working at some oper-
alton being carried on, directed and
financed by that government or some
other entity in the country where he
is located. If he is a teacher, he
works as teacher in a school under
the direction of the education auth
critics which run the school along
with local teachers. If he is working
on highway project, he works und-
er the local highway authorities as a
surveyor or engineer, or in whatever
capacity his skill permits. In hospi-
tails and health centers, Peace Corps
volunteers are serving as nurses and
technicians along with local people.
EXAMPLES CITED
Examples l cited in my remarks in
the House debates are: ID Robert
Burns, a Peace Corps volunteer in
Comilla, East Pakistan, who devised
a method of irrigation canals that
saved rice crop from being flooded
out. This was the first time the prob
lem had been solved in that area.
His act was reported to the Peace
Corps headquarters by Pakistan
national who was the director of the
Academy for Village Development in
Conilla, who estimated the crop to
be worth between three-quarters and
one million dollars; and (2) an Amer
lean missionary in the Philippines,
who said, Zone American peace

Average Fumiy's Doctor Bills
Nearly Doubled In Past Decade

Although detailed information is

most recent survey published by the
u. S. Department of Commerce is

1t shows that the average gross
income (before deduction of bust

ONLY ONE I'm SEVEN
ACCEPTED BY CORPS

A question that many of US had in
mind when the Peace Corps was pro,
posed mutually was whether or not an
adequate supply sof volunteers would
be available. Again, the record
speaks for itself. There are three
times as many applicants today as
there were year ago. Only one APP
plicant in seven qualities to become
an oversee volunteer. Nevertheless,
there is no indication that the supply
of volunteers will fail to keep pace
with the demand in the foreseeable
future.
The reason that the Peace Corps
has decided to add to the number
of volunteers, above the 5000 or
10000 level contemplated last
year, is the increased demand for
volunteers from the countries of
Latin America and from Africa.
In both these areas, the lack of
teachers and of skilled technicians

Food and Drug Men Speed
Up Detection of
Food Poisoning

WASHINGTON, d. C.-(CNS)
The Food and Drug Administra-
ton has announced a new means
of detecting staphylococcal toxin,
which is responsible for most of
the food poisoning outbreaks in
the United States.
The new test employs a method
of detecting minute quantities of
staphylococcal poison in food
through use of its antibody, neu-
tralizing agent developed in the
blood of an infected animal.
Developed over the past Is years,
the method viii save health officials
from dependence upon often vague
archaeological evidence during
food poisoning outbreaks and the
use of expensive animals in tests
which are often unreliable.
Food poisoning caused by the
staphylococci toxin is generally not
fatal to the normal healthy indi-
vidual. 1t may last for only several
hours, but is extremely uncomfort-
able and incapacitating.

A few days ago we drove out
toward Los Andes in an AID "carry-
alp. Drab adobe walls crowding the
highway were strangely reminiscent
of India. Walls like these have stood
in San Filipe's dry climate for one
hundred years.
But these walls are deceptive as
you learn with gasp of surprise if
you are lucky like we were to be in
vited to come inside.
Just inside the gate, the visitor
goes through the grape arbor into the
flower fragrant patio where foun-
tains play and small shrine adds
touch of reverence. The inside walls
of the U-shaped house are composed
almost entirely of windows and doors
opening on the patio. Beyond the
hedge on the fourth side of the
square, efficiently farmed fields
stretch OUT toward the snow capped
Andes. .srs rree ,,~

EACH SERVICE AREA
REPRESENTED ON BOARD

For grass roots representation, the
service area is divided into 7 dis
tricts, each of which is represented
by Trustee who is elected by the
membership at the annual member
ship meeting. Trustees serve without
salary. Their terms are for two years.
The trustees meet at least once a
month to direct the co-operative's
activities. The day to day operations
are delegated to a manager who re-
ports to the Board of Trustees regu-
larly. The cooperative is a locally
owned, private enterprise. To be a
member a person has to receive cleo
trio service from the cooperative.
The present officers and trustees
are:
Allen Hoblitt, Florence, president;
Allen Marcure, Frenchtown. vice
president; Joe N. Boyer, Frenchtown,
secretary treasurer; and Don Roth,
Clinton; Ernest Wills, Bonner; Wal

The discussion of the Peace Corps
Americas best people+to-people pro-

of the program authorizing a $102
million budget for fiscal 1864,

Corps volunteers located in 48 coun-
tries. The largest number in any one

The rough little village church

Male Shopper
Is Educated,
Retailer Says

1t will be a bolder, yet more
realistic type of male shopper
who will haunt lingerie depart
mentS and perfume counters this
Christmas season, according to
an Allentown, Pa. retailer who
conducted his own survey.
The survey shows that the aver
age man will be looking for dainty
and intimate items-without
blushing when the salesgirl asks
what size. Mans greater interest
and knowledge of women's fash
ions account for part of this
change in habits, Hess says.
Realistic
Another survey revelation
shows that men will be shopping
more realistically. Besides the
romantic "must' items men buy
ior their lady folk, such as French
perfume, lacy lingerie and up
holstered jewel and candy boxes,
this year they will buy more
"bread and butter" items such
as practical ready-to-wear ap-
parel, household appliances, cook
ing utensils, home furnishings and
garden supplies.
The survey found that the men
folk will know exactly what they
want, what the wife needs around
the house or for herself and ex-
actly what she has been wanting
for a long time-but there will be
some surprises.
Some Surprises
Some of the surprises will be
cocktail dresses which the male
shopper will buy for his lady and
the man will know the size dress
she wears and the color she pre-
fers. When it comes to perfume,
the male shopper will demand
recognized scents and the favorite
ones of their ladies, not just any
perfume the Saleslady suggests.

Pot Plant Is
Popular Gift

The poinSettia is the traditional
Christmas plant, yet an upsurge
in the popularity of indoor gar
dening has brought a number of
Towering plants into the gift pic
ture. FlOwering plants in porous
clay pots that preserve their
health and beauty will highlight
many gift list this season.
Among the popular pot plants is
the Jerusalem cherry. Its round,
red fruit is especially appropriate
for the holiday season. 1t needs
bright light and likes a cool tenn
perature no higher than 55 de-
grees at night for best results,
although it does admirably even
with a 65 degree night tempera-
ture. If the plant is allowed to
wilt or if cooking gas fumes fill
the air, the fruit will drop.
Cyclamen
The cyclamen is a handsome
plant even when not in bloom,
but the blossoms are breathtaking
like Venetian glass exquisitely
formed in the shape of butterflies
that are white, red, pink, laven-
der, rose, maroon. This needs a
cool 55 degree night temperature
too. Water is safer from the base
of the clay pot so the crown is not
Over-moiStened, thus inviting rot.
Azaleas are popular. There are
both tender kinds that must be
brought indoors each winter, and
hardy kinds that can be plunged
- clay pot and all - out in the
garden permanently next spring.
The tender kinds are like minia-
ture trees in shape. The hardy
ones branch out closer to the
ground like shrubs. Your nursery,
garden center, or florist can tell
you whether the one you select is
hardy or not.
Lasting Beauty
Primroses have blossoms that
look like pastel Christmas can
dies. Select plants with lots of
buds so you will have a profuSion
of bloom over many weeks. New
buds will continue to develop if
plants are watered and fed regu-
larly and if temperature in the
room is below 65 degrees at night.
The Christmas pepper is han
died much the same as the Jeru-
salem cherry. Among smaller
plants, kalanchoe and African vio-
lets are tops for Christmas. A
white Towering African violet in
a red clay pot, dressed up with
bright red bow seems ideally
suited for Christmas. And the
kalanchoe's brilliant orange-red
blossoms sparkle like tree lights.
Both plants are good long-term
investment for any gardener.

One Day This
Week In Oakland

Christmas shopping is about
over, and the true spirit of Christ
mas will be abroad beginning
Christmas Eve. About six o'clock
in the evening the parked cars
along the street, and in the park
ing lots, will begin to thin out, a
few last minute shoppers will hur-
ry into the store for an almost for
gotten carton of flash-bulbs or to
have the pharmacist check their
flash camera to insure its being in
working order for Christmas morn
ing. Out of town visitors will be
there will be few harried-looking
men waiting for their last-minute
purchases to be gift wrapped The
store clerks still on duty will be
hurriedly taking the last of the
Christmas merchandise and bright
glitter out of the show windows
and replacing them with Season
Greetings signs. Mr.. Glaze will
start to sweep up the debris of
odds and ends of gift wrappings
and empty boxes scattered about
the floor. The Christmas carnival
of color and tinsel and shopping
is ending for another year and the
true celebration of Christmas be-
gins to make itself felt. Everyone
completes his last tasks and hur-
ries home to the warmth of fam
lilies.
After my tree is trimmed and
the presents piled underneath it
| will go to the midnight service
at our church. In contrast to the
weeks of preparation and excite
ment the celebration of the Serv-
ice will be calm and restful to us
kneeling at prayers, standing and
singing familiar, joyful, fervent
Christmas hymns.
We didn't used to have midnight
services at the Methodist church
l attended when l was boy, back
in St Clair county, Michigan. My
first experience with midnight
Christmas Eve service was when
| was invited to visit a classmate
over Christmas. He lived in French
Quebec, Canada His name was
Armand and he was the only son
in the family, but he had eight
sisters. That Christmas Eve it was
a blowing, moonless night and the
snow was packed on the roads. 1t

Appliance Gift
Should Please

To make a hit with an appli-
ance gift, think first of the needs
of the recipient.
Too often, gift buyers make the
mistake of selecting what they
themselves would like or need.
An electric fry pan is a practical
gift-unless there is already one
in the family. An electric can
opener is usually fine gift-but
it's not too much appreciated by
the family that uses little canned
foods or has no place to put the
appliance.
A portable stove may be a good
gift for an apartment dweller, yet
will have little value to the family
which boasts a Enthusiastically

New Joy To
Young Hearts

You can bring happiness this
Christmas to children in hospitals,
orphanages and in the families
of the unemployed by refurbishing
the toys your own children have
Outgrown or no longer enjoy. In
many communities, civic and fra
ternal groups have organized pro-
grams for this purpose.
The easiest way to make old
toys in basically good condition
look like new again is with color
full quality enamels, and here are
some tips to help you do the job.
First and most important of all
be sure YOU use only suitable
enamels, particularly those that
contain less tNan l per cent of
lead. While mosr enamels meant
for interior use contain no harm
full ingredients, be sure to tell
your paint dealer that you will
be painting toys. He will sell you
the right product. Under no cir
cumStanceS use outside paint on
toys or children's furniture.
Kids Like Color
Bear in mind that chil6ren pre-.
fer strong, bold colors, the pri-
maries; red, yellow and blue, the
bright secondaries; orange, green,
purple. 1t takes a more sophisti-
Gated taste to enjoy pastel and less
lively darker shades. They also
like the shininess of gloss enamel.
Wash the toy with detergent to
remove finger marks and other
soil. If old finish is glossy, it
should be dulled with sandpaper,
so new finish will adhere better.
Any cracks or holes should be
filed with water putty or plastic
wood which should be permitted
to dry before sanding smooth.
