- READ THE OMAHA GUIDE - Teen-Age Problems Discussed UNION CITY, New Jersey.— When, if ever, is it all right for teen-agers to go steady? Why is it a mistake for teen agers to indulge in “a little neck ing and petting?” What sort of parental discipline do teen-agers require? These are some of the questions which over 4.000 Catholics, par ents and teen-agers, in the Arch diocese of Hartford,, Connecticut, have been asking in joint con ferences during the last four years. The conferences, accord ing to an article in the July issue of The Sign, national Catholic magazine published here, are all part of a program called the Tri i Une sponsored by the Marriage and Family Apostolate of the Hartford Archdiocese. The article quotes Father John C. Knott. Tri-Une director. “It all started some years ago when C a t h o 1 ic Youth Organization leaders around here began mut tering in their beards. Teen-agers, they pointed out, have some pretty tough problems these days. Why couldn’t there be a move j ment that tries to do for them what Cana conferences do for | married couples and Pre-Cana for engaged ones? The result was Tri-Une. “For three years.” says Milton j Lomask, author of the article, “only the young people, high school juniors and seniors, took part . . A year ago, the parents were brought into the picture . . . Each conference consists of three sessions. Only the youngsters ] New Way To Launder White Nylon White nylon lingerie and blouses are "basic” in almost every h omemaker's wardrobe today—but it has been only recently that scientists have found a way to keep white nylon garments from getting a gray or yellow cast after repeated launderings. Research by Dr. Elaine Weaver, of Ohio State University, has developed thLs three-step method for restoring the sparkling white ness of lingerie and blouses: First, wash the garment thoroughly in hot water and a controlled cuds detergent. Dr. Weaver’s tests showed that even the most fragile nylon garments could be automatically laundered with this method. Next, add two tablespoons of a liquid chlorine bleach and two tablespoons of the controlled suds detergent to a gallon of water. Immerse the garment and soak for 30 minutes. Last, rinse the garment thoroughly in warm water until the odor of the bleach is removed. This three-step method will eliminate any dullness which has . resulted from inadequate washing, lukewarm water or poor rinsing. If discoloration remains from dye transference (white nylon gar ments should aiwavs be washed separately from colored items), one additional step will remove the remaining color. Dissolve one package of commercial color remover in one gallon of hot water (160 degrees) ir. an enamel container. Stir the garment gently for 30 to 60 minutes at the maintained 160-degree temperature. Rinse thoroughly in hot water until no odor of the color remover remains. Thanks to Dr. Weaver’s practical-minded research, white nylor varments mav now retain their original white freshness. f Still Going Strong Alter 90 Years -A Chicago—Cutting the birthday cake at the Awards Banquet celebrating the 90th anniversary of the Chicago Stock Yards is William Wood Prince, president of the yards, (right) with Wal ter Wheeler. 79. (center) oldest employee awaiting "the first slice, aided by U. S. Secretary of Ag r. --'ure Ezra T Bensonr Ninety oldtimers from six Mid west states—Illinois. Iowa. Wis consin. Indiana, Minnesota and Kansas—most of them farmers who had shipped livestock to the market for 50 years or more, were presented with gold tro phies in recognition of their con tributions to the long, outstand ing record of the Chicago Stock Y'ards. Nearly 700 persons, in cluding relatives and friends of those honored, and members of the livestock industry, attended the anniversary celebration which was held recently in the International Amphitheatre at Chicago. Top honors were shared by two livestock farmers. Fred Anthony, Sr., 94. of Wyanet, HI., and Wil liam H. Coultrip, 89, of Somonauk. HL both of whom had shipped to the Chicago yards each year —- I —i. — . -to..r, , - ■ nil — for 70 years, starting way back in 1886. Secretary Benson, congratu lating the honored guests and the Chicago Stock Yards for their outstanding records, said: “Government has encroached on other phases of agriculture, but you have kept your free live stock market. Yours is a free market, a free system, and I hope you can continue to keep livestock in the hands of private enterprise. You must work to keep it free. These men (live stock farmers) are the best evi dence of the service the Chicago market has been to cattle men. I do not know of a place where there is a more progressive mar ket; it is the greatest livestock market in the world.” Mr. Prince, president of the Stock Yards, Mayor Richard J. Daley of Chicago (a former em ployee at the yards) and Allan Keefer, president of the Stock Yard Club of Chicago, were other speakers who paid tribute to the honored guests. The Club, representing a complete cross section of the livestock industry in Chicago, sponsored the 90th anniversary celebration event attended the first and only their parents attended the second. The third is often spoken of as ‘the knock-down-and-drag-out' for at this session teen-agers and par ents assemble together to hash over the problems brought up during the previous two sessions.” Typical reaction to the pro gram was the comment of one father, “After the meeting, my wife, our two daughters and I sat up until two o'clock in the morning. We got things out in the open that we'd been keeping inside of ourselves for months. Believe me, life is pleasanter at our house today and we all under stand eacn other better.” Father Knott has one regret about the conferences: “We don’t see enough of the people from homes where there is a real strain between parents and teen-agers.” I On the asset side Father Knott and his assistants have made what they call “a great and heart ening discovery'. “The present crop of teen-agers, in our opin ion,” he says, “is probably the most intelligent, the most compe I tent, and generally speaking, the most spiritually minded genera tion this country has ever had.’ YOU CANT QUIT ADVERTISING YOU’RE TALKING TO A PARADE NOT A MASS MEETING ^ Popular Summer Foods During the summer months, because of the trend toward carefree •>asy meals, certain foods find general use. Among those foods boughl by most homemakers are cold cuts and cheese, because they offer such variety and are convenient to use. To stand at the cases in th* supermarket and look at the number of varieties of each of these foods is a revelation. Displays are enticing and usually we buy mors than we need. During hot weather, when most home refrigerators are stocked with both cheese and cold cuts, care must be given in storing these foods to keep optimum quality. Special care must be given the cold meats especially, as they are usually sliced and lose quality quickly if not properly wrapped and stored. For a wrap, the transparent plastic household film is ideal. It molds itself around the cheese or meat, keeping air out and moist goodness in. For the opened packages of sliced meat, make certain that the slices are placed one on top of another compactly before wrap ping with saran. Sliced cheese, too, should be handled the same way. Other advantages of using this transparent plastic film for wrap ping such foods as meat and cheese are: the odor of strong cheese and garlic in some meats will not be absorbed by other foods in th« refrigerator; and due to the ‘'see-through” quality of the wrap, thert will be no difficulty in finding the type of meat or cheese that yor want because each can be readily identified through the film.
