For that matter, even if you stay close to home or travel- ing. time is past, it's usually easy to find a variety of shells. Almost invariably, people who have been to the beach usually manage to bring back more shells than they know what to do with and are usual- ly happy to give some way. And, if absolutely necessary, various ones can be bought at relatively little cost. It's easy to make a shell- scape and the resulting proj- ect can be most decorative. It's best to plan ahead as to where you want to display it, always keeping in mind the ' supply of shells, pebbles and such that you have to work with.

Then, cut a proportionately sized abstract shape from blue con- struction paper or silver aluminum foil. This can be glued in place to become a dandy lake or ocean. Around the rest of the cardboard, press modeling clay, play - dough or green plasteeine. Now you have a grassy mead- ow, a forest, or the shore of a South Sea island. Into this base, next press the tiniest shells .and pebbles so that their random pattern will represent rocks and boulders such as found in for- est, mountain; or tropical set- tings. ettings. Use matchsticks whose heads are removed' to repre- sent large, towering trees. At- tach the top of the stick to a larger shell into which some clay has been pressed. This will hold such "branches" firmly. As.seen in the accom- panying illustration, shells readily transform into unusu- al and attractive "trees." Some persons often make a , hobby of collecting larger specimens when hiking along beaches or enjoying park walks. A corner of a porch or garden is a good place to re- create a larger outdoor scene which will, display some of these treasures .in an almost- natural lmostnatural setting. All too often, people gather nature's souvenirs only to toss them away in a heap hidden in a box, drawer, or dark spot of the garage. But by using imagination and creative tal- ents, anyone can make a pleasant reminder of olicloor adventures that bring emo- rid§ all year round. COOKING CORNER Southern recip offer many delights By SHIRLEY GAS* LOS ANGELES , '1, wow ! " exclaimed Susan Diet- rich, 12, as she opened the ,re- frigerator door to get a glass of milk after school. The delighted evlamation burst forth when she caught sight of her mother's John Marshall Cream Pie chilling in the fridge. The pie is one of Mrs. Cliff Dietrich's southern recipes she cooks so well. "The recipe is an adapta- tion of a pie served at the famous John Marshall hotel in Richmond (Va.)," Mrs. Dietrich says. "The hotel's recipe is a closely guarded secret, but this one is a very good facsim- ile. It's very close in both tex- ture and taste," To taste the pie is an experi- ence. It's as light as a cloud, with melt -in -the -mouth good- ness. It's delicate sweetness is tempered with the contrast of the grated unsweetened chocolate sprinkled over the top. Mrs. Dietrich and her hus- band were born and raised in Newport News, Va. They came to California about 20 years ago, and have lived in nearby Manhattan Beach for the past seven years. Parents of six children, only them daughters, Susan, Nancy, 11, and Anne, 7, are still at home. The Dietrichs also have two grandchildren. Contrary to popular notions, southern cooking isn't all grits, turnip greens, gumbo and southern fried chicken. 'Mrs. Dietrich explains that there are regional differences in southern cooking. "Creole cooking is strictly, Louisiana and Alabama, as is okra, but in Virginia, we don't use okra. "And Virginians don't use rice like South Carolina and some of the other southern states. "Nor do we use cinnamon in apple pie. I don't .put anything on my pie except butter and nutmeg = and no thicken- ing: Regional cooking diHer ences sometimes creates sur. prises. "When we were invited to our first barbecue in Califor- nia and discovered it was beef, we were disappointed," Mrs. Dietrich recalls. , "In Virginia, when you say `barbecue,' you mean pork. "There, the whole pig is roasted in a pit, and the bar - QUESTIONS ,WOMEN ASK Baby delivery, methods outlined By ELEANOR B. RODGERSON, M.D. Q. Why are some women put to sleep when they have their babies and some are given local injections? A. Every women is differ- ent, an individual, and she is best served by procedures that are designed for her. This kind of a delivery system, though, is not practical for • large numbers, so we find certain hospitals, certain sec- tions of the country, certain countries using one particular method of relieving pain over another. Various doctors pre- fer various methods for their own patients. In Europe and Russia, we know that women labor and deliver "naturally" in the majority of cases. They are delivered by midwives. These patients have no analgesia and no anesthesia unless there are complications and physicians have to be called in. In South America, there are specially trained obstetri- cal doctors, similar to the Midwives of other places, that do nothing else. „Psychoprophylaxis" is the term used for natural birth prenatal training before de- livery in Russia. It is called Lamaze in France and, in England, Grantley Dick Reed is responsible for putting "natural childbirth" into the English language. All these systems are variations on the same general theme. In the United States, women having babies are pampered more than in most other coun- tries. Did you know that? They complain of pain and in- sist upon medication. They frequently request they, be put to sleep at the time of deliv- ery. We know that babies are better off with little analgesia and anesthesia, and we try to teach mothers the importance of calmness and relaxation, but, when a laboring woman becomes uncontrollable — and some are very hard to manage, forgetting all they have learned to the contrary anesthesia may have to be the choice for the best inter- ests of both mother and baby. If a feeling of mutual trust is built up between the patient and the obstetrician, usually much less anesthesia and analgesia are necessary. Injections of local anesthet- ics, around particular nerves and into particular tissues are good ways to block pain and are preferred by most doctors in the United States. They usually do not affect the baby and can always be used to sew up tears, or repair 'episioto- mies ( incisions to enlarge the outlet) after delivery. Sometimes there are emer- gencies during labor — a pla- centa separates, a cord pro- lapses, etc. — and a general anesthetic is the quickest way, to get the baby delivered. It may be lifesaving for both the mother and the baby. Some l&al anesthetic pro- cedures require a great deal of skill and a trained anes- thetist. If a hospital, or com- munity, has no such anesthet- ist available, the local proce- dures cannot be used. Consequently, there are a lot of facets to this question of the best way to have a pain- less labor and delive-y and a lot of points have to be consid- ered by 'the woman and her doctor. becue sauce is put on later.,' Mrs, Dietrich often cocoks pork in the sauce on top of the range, Other foods she considers typically southern is either fresh ham or a Smithfield Harsh which is pepper -cured. "One of my favorites for a Saturday night dinner is Brunswick Stew, made with chicken, not beef. "It's very simple to make, but everyone seems to enjoy it." Following are two of Mrs. Dietrich's recipes. BRUNSWICK STEW 2 whole chickens, 2V4 lbs, each Salt to taste 4 (1"1 oz. p1�gs.) frolten baby lima beans 4 (I0' oz,) pkgs. from corn 2 (1 lb.) can tomatoes 3 quarts water 6 pieces bread Bring whole chickens to a boil in water. Lower heat, cover and cook about one hour. Remove sdin and bones from chickens; but in serving pieces. Bring• chicken broth to a boil; add lima beans and corn. Cover and cook 10 minutes. Add chicken pieces and toma- toes with juice. Thicken with six pieces of crumbled bread. STARTING A STEW — Mrs. Cliff Dietrich starts. her Southern Brunswick Stew by boiling two whole chickens. Later lima beans, corn and tomatoes are. added. She lets details rule her life tt) . By DOROTHY ST. JOHN JACKSON Certified Master Graphoanalyst Dear Dorothy: I just can't get caught up! We have three children, ages 10, 6, and 4.1 always feel that I have to have the house neat and everything in top order befoe I can even think of going shopping. I'm frustrated and always impatient with the children when they are play- ing with their toys and run- ning all over the house. I find no time to completely relax. L.O.J. Dear L.O.J.: If you ever figure out a way to get caught up write me im- mediately. You're letting details rule your life, seen in the closely dotted i's. It's the little things that slow you down. Each task you perform has to be just right and must conform to a standard which you feel will bring honor to you and be ac- ceptable to others, seen in your moderately tall retraced t's. Your standards are great, but you are letting trivialities force you into a humdrum kind of life and you don't like it at all, seen in the long y loops. You love mental and physi- cal challenges, seen in the v and inverted v formations in the m's and n's,, and the large loop on the p. Yet, you keep wrapping yourself around that perfectly balanced f, as you shove your love life into the background. You have to be organized, everything in place, and on schedule. What if your house is a bit disheveled and a meal a little bit late? A few toys scattered here and there, and the sound of happy voices have a way of turning a cold house into a warm house. Enjoy your children now, and they'll grow up enjoying you. If you drprive them of their rights to respect and self-expression now, you'll have to expect the repercus- sions later on. Let them real- ize their childhood needs, in the home before they seek ful- fillment somewhere else. Then when your children are grown and gone, you'll have all the time you need to keep a neat, orderly house.
