COUNCIL BLUFFS IOWA NONPAREIL--JULY 1.5 1952 PAGE FIVE Wall tL omen Summer Hit--Ice Cream Buffet Two Young Visitors Feted With Parties Two young visitors to Council Bluffs are being feted with parties this week. Saundra Drustrup, of Missouri Valley is the guest of her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Drustrup, a Miller, of Bdrbank, the granddaughter of Dr. and Mrs.

F. F. Funder of Omaha, also has been visiting at the homes of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Drustrup and Mr.

and Mrs. Donald Boylan, Karen Boylan here. Sharon will go back to Omaha lo stay Tuesday. She will be the honoree Tuesday evening at a party to be given by her grandparents in celebration of her 12th birthday. Monday evening, Sharon and Saundra were dinner guests of Mr.

and Mrs. Hans Norregaard. Following dinner, Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Drustrup were i hosts for a trip to flayland park.

The girls also were quests of honor at a picnic at Elks Country club Sunday. Giving Out Money Is Fun, She Says By Dorothy Roe (A. P. Women's Editor) If it is more blessed to give than to receive, then Florence Muller must be a thorouhgly blessed young woman. Her job is to give away about $150,000 a year in cash and prizes to winners of the "Stop The Music" radio show.

The average jackpot is valued at about $15,000, and there are about 10 winners a year. Florence, an Irish type beauty with a happy smile and a twinkle in her eyc-s, says there must be something to the bibical verse, because she always has a wonderful time, loves her job, loves the winners, is never jealous of those flabbergasted people who win trips to Europe, baby elephants and grand pianos. Getting Prizes Hard The hardest part of the job, she says, is not giving away the prizes, but getting them together. All are donated by business men, who consider the investment worth the plugs for their products on the program. She says: "I always try to get some kind of a gimmick in the jackpot.

That it more fun, you know. The baby elephant we gave away on one jackpot was a great success. The woman who won it sold it to a zoo the same day for $2,000." Must Be Prepared Though most programs run about six weeks before somebody hits the jackpot by guessing the "Mystery Melody" Florence always has to keep two or three jackpots in advance, just to be prepared if two packpot winners cash in on a single night. That happened once. Right now she's working on the Christmas jackpot, which will include such things as $5.000 worth of equipment to start an ice 'cream business, a 28-foot steel swimming pool, a 38-day cruise to South America and an automobile.

Unique Prizes Dug Up Among the unusual prizes dug up by the versatile Miss Muller was a silver mining claim in Arizona, with which she also gave away two mules. The lady who won it had no use for the mules in her apartment, but had no trouble selling them. Florence has been in the business end of radio ever since she left Cornell university, where she studied landscape gardening. She says: "I can't say I ever planned to make a career of-giving away fortunes, but 1 can't think of a happier vocation Denver Guest Speaks to Club Mrs. Arthur Rapp, of Denver, a former president of the Iowa federation of garden clubs, was the guest speaker when Pioneer Garden club members met at the home of Mrs.

C. W. Deffenbaugh Tuesday afternoon. An informal talk about gardening in Colorado was presented by Mrs. Rapp.

Mrs. Pamela Sylvester was co-hostess for the occasion. Each member brought a floral arrangement to display to the club. Refreshments were served at the close of the meeting. your Problems Still Room 'At the Top 9 By Eva Mahoney Dear Miss Mahoney: You always insist that hard work, courage and intelligence will win out.

They do. I want to say "Amen" to that answer. There are always those who will insist that pull, favoritism and unethical conduct on the part of the successful person are responsible when that individual wins out in the race. This is not true. There J.

VU. Social Joan Benedict was entertained on the occasion of her 17th birthday when 48 relatives were guests at a dinner party at the Glemvood home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Delbert Benedict, Sunday. Jackie birthday, which occurs Tuesday, was celebrated Sunday with a picnic at the Underwood home of her mother, Mrs.

Matt Justen. Guests included Mr. and Mrs. Henry Justen, of Oakland; Mr. and Mrs.

Cecil Rafferty and son, of Los Angeles, Mr. and Mrs. Rafel Neary, Clark and Kathryn, Mrs. Hertha Kessler and Donald, all of Treynor; Mr. and Mrs.

Robert Justen, of Council Bluffs; Mr. and Mrs. Virgil Beebensee and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Emil Jurgens, all of Glenwood; Mr.

and Mrs. Martin Ross, of Underwood. St. Francis Altar society meets Thursday for a 6:30 p. m.

potluck supper at the church hall. Husbands of members and members of Holy name society are invited. is still room at the top, but it takes ambi- Mahoney tion, will power and determination to get there. Let me illustrate my point. A large business firm in our city once advertised for a young man.

Some sixty applicants responded. In turn this one youth was called to the manager's desk and among other questions was asked if he had references. He was the only one of the group that had had enough to supply himself with references. Nor did he smell of booze and nicotine. The young man's application proved satisfactory and he went to work next morning.

He had no pull. His people were poor; he had worked his way through college. He was a stranger to his employers. Merit wins and an employer will give a job to the one "who seems most promising. This person of whom I speak has had three raises in three years.

ONLOOKER Common sense tells us that the average employer wants to hire the man or woman best fitted for the job. The more efficient the personnel of an organization, the greater prosperity for employer and employe. This is so obvious that it seems fatuous to repeat it. But. alas, while it is true the average man can make a livelihood, at least, he may not attain marked success.

High enterprise, hard work, merit, ambition, will power, do not always produce commensurate results. Sickness, bad luck, misfortune, betrayal, family discord often mitigate aeainst success. Nor can government legislate to protect man against himself or against tricksters who penetrate into every level in the industrial and professional world. I don't think this fact changes very much with the Abseissed By Hatred Dear Miss Mahoney Are most women proving sour? myself, am married to such a woman and I did not know there was room in the world for the hate she bears. Where oh where, are good manners and kindlv Deople.

I can't respect the helpmate who will not really helo when the nominal head of the house is ill or out of work Too many wives are selfish, stubborn as a mule and continue wasting their time on gossip and things not worth while. As we grow older we should prepare ourselves for the acceptance of age as an honored gift. We should drive out hate, conceive new ideas of happiness. Happiness lies in doing with all our mieht the things that have to be done along the road of life. FRIEND OF MAN "Thinsrs that have to be done alone; the road of life." What simple eloquence.

And were it not for the millions of human beings, who. unsune, do a good job along the road of life--including our harrassed friend- life, itself, would perish. Our eternal praise for their gallantry. An ice cream social will be sponsored Sunday from 7-9 p. m.

by The Wedded Band of Our Savior's Lutheran church at the church. Camemberf cheese should be left out of the refrigerator for several hours before it is served. Its interior should be creamy, almost fluid, and its thin crust By Cecily Brownstone Associated Press Food Editor It's handy to have a special little recipe file of sundae sauces to serve with ice cream for summertime desserts when you want a change from fruit toppings. The following sundae sauces are all made with that nutritious a economical dairy product--evaporated milk. They take no time at all to prepare and if you refrigerate them they'll keep indef- finjtely.

Just put them in small jarS with tight covers. To heat, place the jar in a pan of water; bring the water to the boiling point, then let the water simmer until the sauces are heated through. A good way to entertain in hot weather is to ask friends to "Come over for dessert" and then serve an Ice Cream Buffet. Have several flavors of ice cream and several sauces for guests to choose from. Fill an attractive bowl ahead of the guests' arrival with scoops or large spoonfuls of the ice cream and place it in your refrigerator freezing compartment--if it's roomy enough--or in your freezer.

Then you can bring it out at serving time. If any of the ice cream is left over--rare chance, but it's been known to happen--place it in a refrigerator tray and set the cold control of the refngeiator at its coldest setting. Freeze until firm, occasionally stirring from the edges and bottom. Return control to normal setting when ice cream is at the desired stage. Just to gild your ice cream buffet a bit, you might have some small containers of nuts, coconut, and cherries so guests can help themselves to garnishes.

Ruth Millett Parents Need JPId-fashioned 1 deas ta Cope With Moderns Kitchen Hints When you are buying fresh apricots, choose ones that are of a rich gold color; pale greenish apricots are hard and tasteless. A pound of apricots usually contains eight to ten. They may be served for dessert as is, used in combination with other fruils, or they may be sliced and served with sugar and cream, Don't work salt snd pepper into hamburger meat before the patties are cooked or you are likely to have meat that is too compact.

Cooked rice makes a gooc stretcher lor chicken salac when unexpected guests show up Add cooked green peas, strips pimiento, or slices of pimiento stuffed olives for color and fla vor. Be sure to serve the salai on crisp salad greens. What parents need today is a -ttle more old-fashi6ned assur- that they really do "know jest." Here is a letter typical of the uncertainty of the great majority if parents today. A mother writes: "In an at- empt at fairness to our 11-year- ild daughter, we'd like your on a subject which is caus- ng considerable controversy in iur household.

"It seems to be the fad now for sixth graders to imitate their older sisters and have slumber parties, where four hours seems be the maximum amount of sleep they get. "Both my husband and I can't quite see our daughter's view- joint in the matter and have thus tabooed these parties. Ordinarily we'd 'stick to our guns' but ler lament is 'You treat me like a baby' and 'I'm the only one who isn't allowed to "Truthfully, these psychologists have me so confused I don't know whether we're being too strict and old-fashioned with our children or just different from the modern, 'follow the mob' parents. "If it weren't for the fact that she seems resentful, we'd go along with our instincts but we do want her love and faith, and we do want her to be socially acceptable. She claims the girls aren't as friendly since she has had to decline their invitations." Parents Give In To Children It is that kind of uncertainty that so often today ends up with parents of sound judgment finally giving in to their children on first one stand and then another.

In their hearts they are pretty sure they do "know best." But there is that nagging doubt that maybe they are being old-fashioned, that perhaps they are making their children "different," C. B. Family Attends Reunion Mr. and Mrs. A.

E. Bryan and son Arthur, jr of Council Bluffs, attended Bryan- Chauncey reunion held at Dunlap Sunday honoring Mr. and Mrs. Max Chauncey, of Santa Barbara Calif. Among the 41 guests present were William Chauncey, Mr.

And often the doubt wins out over their sound judgment. Children and teen-agers take full advantage of this uncertainty among parents and push it all that it is worth. We parents wouldn't be in that kind of spot if we were just a little more confident that mother and dad know best. Personals Mr. and Mrs.

Fred B. Allan and son, Rick, of Palm Harbor, are visiting his parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Allan. They will return home next week.
