and another thing
by maud green
and, another thing is, let's get this and that tended to.
First . . .apologies to three very pretty young girls,
Doylene Cooper, Debbie McDougal and Kathy Pledger. The
trio was sitting on a car fender 'in front of the plate glass
front of Kermit Office Supply . . . that was Monday afternoon
- . . they were waiting for the Santa Claus.
They made a pretty picture . . . so I took one . . or at
least tried.
Girls, the late afternoon sun reflecting from those back-
ground glass windows made you look kind of like misty little
angels . . . it wouldn't print.
There is something new, and different ... and delicious
if you like it... in the canned food world.
About 10 days ago I received a package from California,
heavy and about the size of a nice fruit cake. It was from one
of the nation's leading companies which cans fruits and veg-
etables and all those things.
Inside were three cans, wrapped in fresh green labels
and the wrapper informed that this was Tropical Fruit Salad.
Closer reading revealed the salad is made from sliced
bananas, papaya, passion fruit juice and other tasties which
can't be instantly recalled.
It is delicious, different, is good in jelled salads, fruit
salads . . . you'll find many uses. $
Sorry not to be able to tell you the brand name of these
nice guys . . . that’s in the "paid advertising” department.
Gene (Mrs. Joe) Montgomery learned something new this
week. She came across some copy which mentioned “fried
marbles.” She thought somebody had really lost theirs! But,
Gene knows better now, but she probably never will cook
any. She's not interested in making clusters of grape pic-
tures and such things.

Do you reckon the folks who make macaroni and all
that kind of stuff think folks really eat as much as is sold?
They better wake up and make more curious shaped styles of
macaroni available on all grocery shelves. As the fad of mak-
ing decorative items of old slippers, cones of newsprint, this
and that, increases, it calls for more and more fancy macaroni.
The unusual tree Doris Fobert made has bow-knots of
assorted sizes, looks like it was cut with pinking shears; snail
looking pieces, some that looks like swirly ear screws; and
even a little outline of Popeye eating spinach, a bicycle and a
racing car. They are getting mighty fancy.
One thing for sure . . . macaroni has definitely established
a stronghold in the Christmas decorative theme.
Monday was a busy day ... a nice day.
Big ones and little ones came? to Community Center dur-
ing the noon eating hours and tasted and tasted ... and tasted.
Sally Ferrell and Dixie Atwood and their home demonstra-
tion gals deserve a Gold Star award for the pretty affair.
Did you ever in all your days see more attractive tid
bits than they served? It all amounted up to a delicious meal.
Besides that the recipes which were given for free were
fixed so nicely and are a joy to any cook. It was a job well done.

A BRIGHT BIT OF CHRISTMAS — Members of Kermit Garden Club, assisted by the
Junior Garden Club, brought bright bits of Christmas to Winkler County Memorial Hospital by
hanging swags on the doors of the institution. This is an annual project of the two organizations.
Shown placing one of the green net Christmas trees, which were made by the Juniors, (left to
right) are: Mrs. J. L. Slaughter, president of Kermit Garden Club; Linda Horner, representing
the Junior Club, and Mrs. G. T. Gilligan, only charter member of the senior club. (StaffPhoto)
Then, later Monday afternoon came the Christmas parade.
It was a good parade but the part I liked best were the bands.
Here came the Wink Wildcat Band, marching and playing in
all their glory. Wildcats, if no one has ever got around to tell-
ing you “Thanks,” . . . this is a great big “ Thank You, Kindly”
from all who enjoyed the parade for adding color and bounce to
the goings-on.
Then Kermit Junior High music makers did their full
share.
But . . . the King Pin of all, as has been through the years,
was the K Band. In this week’s 15 years ago issue of The
Newsy, “and, another thing” dwelt at length on these young-
sters. The same still applies . . . they make me cry. But, it
was very thoughty of them, as they marched down Poplar
Street, to wait until they got smack^m froijt of me to turn on
ttie music . . . goose pimples all overX

When you bake cupcakes, fill
the pans no more than two-thirds
full. If the pans are too full, the
batter will spread out over the
top of the pan and the cakes will
be difficult to remove and un-
attractive.

Dear Helen:
So that poor 47-year-old wom-
an isn't satisfied with what God
gave her and wants plastic sur-
gery! She needs outside help, but
not from a surgeon.
I wish she could have been
present when my 11-year-old
daughter asked me through sobs
of pain in the surgery ward,
“Why did I have to be born this
way?” I am glad, too, that the
great plastic surgeons ,*of the
country hear that cry and per-
form miracles to correct these
seemingly hopeless birth defects.
Yes, cosmetic surgery is ex-
pensive: and I have heard one
of the best plastic surgeons re-
fuse such a woman treatment
because he was too busy taking
care of those with real prob-
lems. This man's fee is commen-
surate with the parents' income,
not with the hours he spends,
with the help of other surgeons,
he may create, perhaps, a jaw
bone that never formed, an in-
ternal ear so that the child can
wear a hearing aid or build an ex-
ternal ear so she will look more
like other children. — A.F.S.
Dear Helen:
Yes, I had cosmetic surgery
and it was well worth it. I would
go through the inconvenience of
having it done again (if I had
to). If a woman can change her
hair, wear make-up, keep her
figure trim, all to put her best
foot forward, then why not also
give her face a lift? It won't be
long before cosmetic surgery
is as accented as hair coloring
is today. And I HOPE it will
someday be less expensive! —-
MRS. C. B.
Dear Readers:
Because so many have inquired
about cosmetic surgery, silicone
injections, scraping, peeling,
etc., I asked for an interview
with a well known plastic sur-
geon, and here, in capsule form,
is what he told me:
1. Silicone injections: no rep-
.utable doctor will now give them
except for experimental pur-
poses, and women who have had
their breasts injected may be in
for trouble when the liquid sili-
cone starts moving. This liquid
is heavy. There is evidence that
it does not stay put — and, an
even greater danger, it is some-
times absorbed into the system.
While so far no bad effects have
been reported from such absorp-
tion, doctors do not yet know
where it goes. Therefore it has
been pulled off the market until
extensive tests determine how
safe it is. Adds the doctor, “The
presence of silicone can also hide
a cancer until it is too late.”
2. “Solid block silicone” has
been used successfully to build
up breasts. It can be removed at
any time. Can it be used on the
legs? “Not very well,” says the
surgeon.
3. Anyone contemplating cos-
metic surgery should be aware
of the risks. Dr. X. discusses
the possibilities of infection,
faulty healing; the psychological
implications, etc., with each pa-
tient for several hours before
getting her “informed consent.”
4. The cost? “Face lift”: from
$750 to several thousand dol-
lars; “nose job”: $400 to $1,-
000; breasts made smaller: $800
to several thousand dollars. Fees
vary in different areas. Hospi-
talization? two or three days.
Bruising is usually gone in two
weeks, if all goes well. The op-
erations are not very painful.
5. How long does a “face lift”
last? As long as 10 years some-
times, but “usually in three to
five years you are back to where
you were at the time of the oper-
ation.” The doctor emphasizes:
This does not bring back youth:
you go into the hospital a 45-year-
old with, wrinkles and come out
a 45-year-old without wrinkles.”
6. “Peeling” (a chemical burn)
is dangerous, not highly success-
ful. “Derma-abrasion” (or sand-
papering) is used to round off acne
pits. It does not remove them, but
makes them less noticeable—in
some cases.
7. Can cosmetic surgery be de-
ducted on your income tax as a
medical expense? Don't count on
it, unless you can prove it was
a necessary operation.
8. The doctor, whose work is
about 70 per cent non-cosmetic
plastic surgery (accident cases,
birth deformities and so on) sums
it up: “In surgery there is always
risk. I can't understand how a
healthy person can walk into a
doctor's office and ask for the
knife. It takes more courage than
I would have, believe me! — H.
Dear Helen:
Whenever my parents have a
party, the men all gather in the
kitchen and the women in the liv-
ing room, and that's where they
stay. Why don't the sexes ever
mix at adult parties?—K.T.
Dear K:
Marriage has happened to
them, dear.—H.
