Homemaking
by Arthiel L. Spaulding
U. of A. Extension Service
The Christmas 4 Workshop in
Anchorage gave homemakers
an opportunity to exchange
ideas. There were several I
thought you homemakers
might like to try.
Aprons were a main topic
of conversation in 'Sitka before
the Fair. Did any of you make
one with a turkish hand-tow
el sewn into the waistband so
that the towel hangs over the
front of the apron and easy to
to reach when hands get mes
sy? The top fringe of the tow
el can be cut Off and used in
the band of the pocket.
My favorite Christmas sug
gestion is to make mints from
mashed potatoes. Oh, yes, they
are good. Vi cup mashed pota
toes mixed with about %
pound confectioners sugar or
enough to handle without stick
intg. Add flavoring — pepper
mint. spearmint, orange or oth
er favorite flavor, color with a
ibit of food coloring then roll
into “rope” about V2 inch in
diameter. Out into 3A pieces
or table mint size. Store in
cool place.
If you prefer butter mints,
try tms:
Potato Dinner Mints or
Fondant
Boil drain and mash: 1 med
ium potato. Add 2 tbsp. butter.
Add 2 to 3 lbs. of powdered
sugar — or enough to handle
without sticking. Add 3 to 4
drops of oil of peppermint, or
3 to 4 drops of oil of winter
Igreen. If color is desired use
pink for peppermint and green
(for wintergreen. Roll in.o
iballs size of marbles, flatten
with fork or roll into balls,
chill and dip in chocolate or

Instead of giving a dish or

comes from the s.ore, why not
fill it with mints, candy or

much more fun if a little per

Magnuson pledges
aid fe hard-hit
tuna Industry
SAN PEDRO, Calif. {IP) Sen
Malgnuson (D-Wash) says he in
Lends to recruit aid from 11
western states’ senators for
the American tuna industry,
■which claims it is hard hit by
Japanese imports.
! “I am in complete agree
ment wilh most of you on
what we ought to do,” Sen.
, Magnuson said yesterday after
| hearing 30 witnesses. Most of
them urged that the Uni.ed
States impose a tariff or quota
on tuna imports.
Mason Case, manager of the
Fishermen’s Co-Operative Assn
( told Magnuson before the sen
ator concluded a one-man suib
'committee hearing:
! “The California fishing

: fleet needs immediately the
[protection of a quota or tariff
on both canned, fresh and froz
en fish, and perhaps help in
the form of subs idles."
Case charged that the U. S.
state department has blocked
efforts of the industry to re
strict importation of Japanese
tuna “with every tool at their
disposal.”
Fisheries
were unable to visit the El
iSasbra frontier area. They add
ed they had received no re
ports of new fighting in the
area today.
An Israeli (foreign office
spokesman said the U. N. of
ficials had been informed:
“There is no firing, and there
/will be no firing across the in
ternational frontier from the
Israeli side unless we are at
tacked or the Egyptians cross
the frontier.”

FOOTBALL BOWLS
Aggie, any o>f these teams
could get an invitation irom
the Sugar, Cotton or Gator
bowls and they’ll be scraping
to get on the mailing list.
Maryland, Oklahoma and
Michigan, ranged 1-2-3, have
no such worries. Their reserva
tions are in for Jan. 2.
Maryland and Oklahoma are
stoo-in for an Orange Bowl
showdown as champs (although
still uncrowned) of their re
spective Atlantic Coast and
Big Seven conferences. Michi
gan is ticketed for the Rose
Bowl, where UCLA is confident'
of proviling the opposition in
the Bilg Ten-Pacific Coast bat
tle.
Maryland and Oklahoma, nev
er at a loss for humility, insist
they don’t have easy touches
tomorrow. Both have phobias
against opposing passes.
Maryland opposes Louisiana
State, w'hieh a 1-4-1 record.
Oklahoma, with a 25-game
streak, opposes Missouri, which
has a 1-game “string.”
A defeat could hurt their
national rankings, hut prob
ably would not affect bowl
prospects for either the Terps
or the Sooners.
Michigan has much the same
assurance against Illinois. The
Wolverines might find the
Illini troublesome in the tradi
tional Big Ten squabble, but
they could afford to lose one of
their three remaining games
and still get the Big Ten’s
blessinig for the Rose Bowl
Only Ohio State and Michigan
State challenge Michigan’s
right — but OSU is ineligible
and MSC not only was beaten
by the Wolves, but made a
more recent Rose Bowl visit
than Michigan.
Totem quint will be without
douJbt the ifinest coached and
managed. Piloted by Mar§h, lo
cal Timber Wolf mentor, the
Totems will be a well drilled
outfit and if plans now being
laid are followed through to the
letter, the Totems should be
employing many variations of
set offensive patterns. A stick
ler for defense, Marsh hopes to
employ a pressing man-toyman
defense tout much of this so far
has just been mere speculation
since a more definite blue print
may have to toe drawn up after
Marsh trims his roster down to
the limited 12. Sgt Ernest (Bo)
Toaso of the local ASC is to be
manager of the team.
A standout for many fine
Juneau Columbia Lumber
teams, Les Hogins should proj
vide the Totems with some;
fine outside 'shooting. A fine ‘
retoounder, Hogins shouldn’t
hurt the dause any. If Carl Kerr
and Lloyd Hames can maneuv’
[ er some sort otf arrangement to;
compensate for their loss of
(pay at their respective places
of employment on game nights,
the Marsh coached outfit will
have more relbound power that
may pose too much of a problem
for other locals to solve. And
if Marsh should decide to suit
up, there isn’t much doubt
that this Totem edition will be
the tallest and (finest rebound
ing team in the Southeastern
district.
Frank White, one of the fin
est to play for the Island sch
ool is no one’s fool on the floor
and should he crack the line up
the Totems will have speed to
burn. Another steady play-mak
er hopeful of gaining a berth
is Bill Murray who did his (gun
ning for Men’s Store a year ago
Bill Marsh, a fine ball play
er and one who has done a lot
of playing before hitting this
city, is unquestionably the fin
est to build his nest in this
town since Dick Strait took lo
cal cage patrons by storm in ’53
A fine shooter and a hard driv
er towards the bucket, the play
ing-coach. in all probability,
will be the biig noise offensive i
ly and defensively for the To
tems.
If it is a secret ■— the writer
isn’t aware of it — but the
main Objective in this first
time around for the Tot eons, is
the annual Gold Medal tourna
ment. If the blue and white gar
!bed Totems are to reach this
long range objective, many
hurdles will have to be cleared
and this includes a represent
able won and lost seasonal re
cord.
We are looking forward to
our interview with Bill Patter
son Of Edgecumibe. It should be
interesting to find the numer
ous changes in the old school
since ’48 . Harold Don
nelly, one of the greatest ever
to slip a basketball suit on, re
tired from the game more times
than anyone we know of. Hfs
last season was in ’52 with the
Sitka Columbians. Been trying
to talk him into coming out a
gain for “Just one more time”
so he could take part in the
SJS-Alumni game. An old SJS
Igrad, Donnelly is perhaps the
greatest ever to wear the blue
and gold. the best rasp
berry target in local baseball is
one Roy “Slasher” Tressler.
All done in fun of course.
We are deeply appreciative to
Sheldon Jackson and Edge
combe (for their generous ges
ture of providing free passes
to the press for all their home
games.
