Warming trend in

by The Associated Press
There Was a warming trend
in the mid-continent today but
cooler weather moved into areas
of the west and along the east
ern seaboard.
Cooler Pacific air dropped
■temperatures as much as 49 de
grees in Montana and 27 de
grees in parts ot Idaho, Utah
and Nevada. The coldest air
spread southward behind an
arctic front and extended over
Montana.
At Lewiston. Mon ., it was 2
below this morning compared
to 47 degrees above 24 hours
earlier. A 44 degree drop was
reported at Great Falls, where
it was 6 above. The lowest read
ing was -12 at Glasgow, a 34

The sun was out in Seattle.
Two infants perish

Calif, floods
ly during the long siege.
Damage estimates rose to 150
million dollars as receding
flood waters permitted new as

areas. The Army Corps of En

the floods more than 1,000,000
acres were under water.
The weather bureau last
night in its weekly summary
reported that as much as 31
inches of rain fell last week in
north coastal California and
that floods all the way from
the Oregon line to Visalia 500
miles south of here were the
worst the state had ever exper
ienced.
The crews battling the still
swollen rivers appeared to have
surmounted the last major dan
ger late yesterday. The high
ocean tide which backed water
up into the San Joaquin-Sacra

NEW YORK (JP) Just to 'hold
our franchise in the Amalga
mated Order of Independent
Football Forecasters, Unlimit
ed. -we’ll taike a whack at pick
ing the winners of a few of the
Bowl (games next Monday.
By going on record early we
will be immune to the convinc
ing talk in l.he next week. And
also we won’t (be influenced by
such minor details as the con
dition oif the fields, player in
juries suffered in practice, or
a possible epidemic of colic af
flicting the athletes on the eve
of some game.
Anyiway, here’s the way they
look right now:
Michigan State over UCLA
in the Rose Bowl.
Oklahoma over Maryland in
the Orange Bowl.
Georgia Tech over Pitts
burgh in the Sugar ©owl.
Texas Christian over 'Missis
sippi in the Cotton Bowl.
Auiburn over Vanderbilt in
the Gator Bowl.
That any one 6f the teams
picked to lose has an excellent
chance of winning is taken for
granted, as otherwise there
would be no sense in schedul
ing the game.
We’re taking Michigan State
because we were tremendously
impressed toy its speed, driving
play and diversified offensive
in its victory over Notre Dame.
On that day the Spartans look
ed unbeatable.
We gather it will toe the irres
istatole force against the immo
vable Object when Oklahoma
meets Maryland, and we’re
stringing along with the irres
istible (force, despite the dole
ful head shaking of the Sooner
coach. Bud Wilkinson, who

Oklahoma has scored in 105
straight games, and we just
can’t see it drawing a blank
next Monday.
We’ve always had tremend
ous resped for Georgia Tech
teams, and their impressive i
bowl record indicates they seem
to be at their best for the New

HINTS FOR HOMEMAKERS
PLAN WORK SAVING CENTERS FOR
i your kitchen and laundry
Gtmtrd Blmtric Comumnt r

important to make a careful study
of the cabinets needed. Cabinet
space is essential to comfortable
living.
Choose cabinets which are strong
and durable. Adjustable wire shelves
for wall cabinets allow for flexi
bility and visibility. Have you ever
tried to get a package from the
back of the upper shelf? With wire
shelves you not only can see where
the package is but you can also
guide it forward from the bottom
so that it can be easily reached.
Test the drawers. Do they pull
out easily—but not all the way out?
Special stops are protection against
accidental pull-outs. Check to be
sure that the drawers can be re
moved for easy cleaning.
Work centers for those special
kitchen jobs make the homemaker’s
work so much easier. Needless
walking can be eliminated.
Locate the mixing center between
the refrigerator and sink. Some cabi
nets on the market have a special
swing out mixer shelf. The mixer
has its owH storage place and the I
work surface is always free. Spices, j
flours, baking powder, etc., can be 1
stored ia wall cabinets above At
mixer shelf. Don’t overlook the con
venience of • condiment rack. Save
yourself time by pladng the spices
on a rack and eliminate lilting sev
eral spices to find the one needed.
For maximum convenience locate
your sink center between the range
and refrigerator. Use a base cabinet
with a drawer for cutlery and other t
small items used at the sink, and
drawers or shelves for storage of
potatoes, onions, and large pans.
There are special pull out vegetable
bins which can be fitted in a base
cabinet.
Use base cabinets next to the
range and wall cabinets above the
range for an adequate range center.
The cabinets provide ample storage
space for food, utensils, plates, serv
ing dishes, and small appliances.
Store long-handled spoons and forks,
tongs and serving utensils in draw
ers next to the range.
Yes, cabinets are essential in the
laundry center too. Either base or
wall cabinets will add convenience
to the center by providing adequate
storage for soaps, synthetic deter
gents. bleaches, starch, etc.
