thru my bifocals
By ELIZABETH PARSONS
We hear and read a lot about
the need for traffic lights on
Kaufman Street, especially at
the intersection of Kaufman and
Milam. One proposal was for an
flectric eye to give a red light
on Kaufman when a car ap-
proached for a crossing at Mil-
am.
Through our lenses it seems
that the danger lies not in cros-
sing the highway at Milam, or
at any other intersection, o r
even in making a left turn’ onto
Kaufman from a side street, but
in making left turns from the
highway onto the side streets.
We cross Kaufman at various
intersections several times a day
and, except for occasional short
delays while waiting for north
and south bound traffic to clear
we cross in comfort and safety.
If we remember correctly,
Former Woman
Sheriff Now
A Baby-Sitter
OKLAHOMA CITY — (UP) —
It’s quite a switch from chasing
badmen to baby-sitting, hut Mrs.
Elsie Jack has made the change--
quite easily.
Whenever one of her charges
wants to play cops and robbers,
Mrs. Jack can speak with authori-
ty because three years ago, at
Norman, she became Oklahoma’s
only woman sheriff. Her venture
into law enforcement lasted only
seven months, or the remainder
bf the term of her husband, Jes-
se who had died while in office.
She said being sheriff really
wasn’t so difficult.
• “A woman cannot be a wife
for 35 years without knowing
something about her husband's
job,” she explained.
‘‘I knew how to take care of
children long before I was a law
officer.”
She has five grandchildren.
‘‘Baby-sitting is less active
than being sheriff, but I still en-
joy it,” she said. “Children are
much more pleasant than law-
breakers.”
SANDWICH COOKIES 2 f . ;
NEW YORK—(UP)—The sand-
wich cookie always is a favorite
with children. So next time you
are baking for the cookie jar,
try this method. While they're
still hot from the oven, place
two squares of milk chocolate
bar or several chocolate chips
between two thin outmeal cook-
ies.
STICK-ON CUTOUTS
NEW YORK — (UP)-New for
the nursery: decorating cutouts
with self-adhesive backing.
These cutouts, made of plastic,
can be put on walls or furni-
ture without scissors, water, pas-
te or tacks. Designs include Pet-
er Pumpkin Eater, Mary and her
lamb, Humpty Dumpty and Lit-
tle Boy Blue, for the pre-school
set, and a wild west series for
the older child. (Con-Tact, Cohn-
Hall-Marx do,, New York).
BABIES LIKE
cm m
IT LI KES THEM
I Will Appreciate
Your Vote
most, if not all, of the accidents
we have heard about recently
have been caused by southbound
cars hitting northbound cars at-
tempting left turns onto Milam
or Ennis Avenue.
It seems to us that these ac-
cidents could occur even with
traffic lights, if the north and
south bound traffic had a green
signal. In fact, that is just ex-
actly what has happened at the
Ennis Avenue intersection.
So, we would say that -to get
the job done a traffic light
would have to be the “direction-
al signal” type.
Kaufman Street is, of course,
a state highway, and will soon
be a segment with a Canada-to-
the-Gulf-of-Mexico Freeway to
the north and to the south of
it. For all practical purposes it
is a freeway now and left hand
turns just aren’t allowed on
freeways.
We are still “put out” because
one of our young friends got a
ticket for reckless driving be-
cause he got hit by a car that
was speeding through Ennis
when he attempted a left turn
off Kaufman to Ennis Avenue on
a green signal.

Specialist Says
Women Need
To Drink More Milk
CHAMPAIGN, 111. — (UP) —
Everybody knows milk is a
wholesome food, but women try-
ing to lose cumbersome pounds,
as well as nursing mothers,
should include more of it in their
diets.
That's the advice from Univer-
sity of Illinois dietetics specialist
Harriet Barto. who says nursing
mothers need at least six cups
daily, and expectant mothers at
least four.
And milk, for those with the
extra pounds, is no “fattening
food,” the specialist said. Most
cuts of meat contain two or three
times as much fat as a cup of
milk.
The high calcium content of
milk is important, along with the
high protein content, Miss Barto
added.
One Way To Solve
Teacher Shortage
CHICAGO—(UP)—A vast re-
servoir of college-trained house-
wives should be tapped to help
ease the teacher shortage, says
a U. S. Labor Department offi-
cial.
Mrs. Alice K. Leopold, assis-
tant to the Secretary of Labor,
said here recently that there are
at least half a million women
unemployed, less than 55 years
old. with no children under five,
who are college graduates.
She urged members of the
American Association of Univer-
sity Women to encourage such
women in their own communi-
ties to earn teachers’ certificates.
"Unless we increase the num-
ber of teachers available, we are
likely to find our schools man-
ned by custodians instead of
teachers,” Mrs. Leopold said.
