Hints For The
Thanksgiving Hostess
In the year 1621, Pilgrim hou
sewives had many of the same
Thanksgiving problems as home
makers of today. For instance,
what to do with leftover turkey.
According to Governor Brad
ford’s diary, they prepared a
Thanksgiving feast that included,
"as much fowle as with a little
helpe beside, served the company
almost a weeke.”
That must have been a lot of
turkey, because the Governor in
vited Chief Massasoit and ninety
of his Indian braves to join his
hardy band of fifty-four Pilgrims
for the first Thanksgiving dinner.
Pity the poor Puritan women
cooking turkeys and pumpkin pie
with their primitive fireplaces
and ovens. It was a far cry
from today’s electric ovens and
electric rotisseries. But there
are a few things the early pil
grims did to celebrate Thanks
giving that we might well borrow
today. Here are a combination
of "then” and "now” hints sug
gested by the Bayer Company for
the celebration of Thanksgiving:
— Hang a basket filled with
autumn leaves and Indian corn

Pattersons Rehearsal Dinner Hosts
To Smith-Patterson Wedding Party
Mr. and Mrs. R. H. Patterson
were hosts on Friday evening
at the rehearsal dinner at which
they entertained members of the
Smith-Patterson wedding party,
in compliment to their son, R. H.
Patterson, Jr. and his fiancee,
Miss Glorianne Smith, at "Ye
Oide Colonial Restaurant” in
Madison.
The "Sea of Matrimony” theme
was cleverly executed in
decorative features of the
attractive setting. A simulated
docking pier formed the back
ground for the head table, where
covers were laid for the betrothed
couple and their families.
Centerpiece of the table was a
golden galleon under full sail, on
a sea of cresting waves, contrived
with compacted white chrys
anthemum florets. A miniature
bride and groom on the helm,
bravely faced new horizons;
and miniature bags held their
trousseau.
Additional small tables over

— Make a centerpiece by fil

Women’s Absenteeism
And Labor Turnover
Facts Are Given
W TSHINGTON — Cost differ
ences in employing men and wo
men are not significant, accord
ing to a newly revised publicat
ion issued by the Department of
Labor.
The report, prepared by the
Women’s Bureau, summarizes
the latest available data on cer
tain factors that affect labor
costs—absenteeism, labor turn
over, job tenure, and labor mob
ility.
The data include, for exam
ple, Public Health Service stat
istics on worktime lost because
of Illness or Injury, which aver
aged 5.6 days for women and
5.3 days for men in 1967. On
the other hand, earlier PHS data
showed fewer sick days per year
for single women (3.9 days) than
for single men (4.3 days).
The report states that women
workers have favorable records
of attendance and labor turnover
when compared with men em
ployed at similar job levels and
under similar circumstances.
Detailed analyses indicate that
the skill level of the job, the
marital status and age of the
worker, length of service, and
record of job stability provide
better clues to differences in
work performance than does the
mere fact that the worker is a
man or a woman.
Studies on labor turnover show
that overall job-changing rates
are about the same for women
and men. hi 1968, 2.6 percent
of women workers and 2.2 per
cent of men workers quit their
jobs voluntarily, according to a
Bureau of Labor Statistics study.
But men are more frequent
occupation changers than wom
en, another BLS study showed.
Only 7 percent of the women but
10 percent of the men held a dif
ferent occupation in January 1966
than in January 1965.
The summary report titled
"Facts About Women’s Ab
senteeism and Labor Turnover”
is available on request from the
Women’s Bureau, Wage and La
bor Standards Administration, U.
S. Department of Labor, Wash
ington, D. C. 20210.

CHANGE HABITS AND
CHANGE LUCK
Fish are like people. They
get set in their ways and don’t
like to make changes. Pat
terns of life are rigorously
followed until something
forces a change in habits.
This human like trait leads
to some drastic differences in
fish behavior during the hot
weeks of summer.
The normal ways of fishing
usually don’t produce during
summer doldrums, yet many
anglers stick to their set hab
its and give up fishing until
the weather and the water
cool.
By calling it quits, they’re
probably missing some good
fishing, say the angling au
thorities at Mercury out
boards. What they should do
is change their habits along
with the fish.
To begin, start getting out
on the lake before the sun
comes up, and be there again
when it goes down. Skip the
hot hours in between, for in
many parts of the country
fish prefer to feed early and
late . . . when the water is
cool.
Fish will change what they
eat, too. Summer is the time
of insects — grasshoppers,
crickets, ants and a multitude
of other delectible (to fish, of
course) foods. Artificial lures
will be passed up in favor of
these natural foods.
A third consideration is
where to fish. Since the sup
ply of natural food is most
abundant in shallow water,
that is where the action will
be.
Live baits and shallow wat
er dictate a change in fishing
methods. No heavy trolling or
plug casting rods now. The
fishing gang at Mercury ad
vise that the situation calls
for light-weight fly or spin
casting tackle, with light lines
and fine wire hooks.

a few things at stake such as
an undefeated season for
the winner, the championship of
the Southwest Conference, and a
shot at Notre Dame in the Cotton
Bowl. Even though this
game receives more of a build
up each year, we just don’t feel
this is going to be one of the
greatest between these two clubs.
The Longhorns have a power
factor of 123.1 . . 9th-ranked
Arkansas, a quotient of 105.8. So,
Texas will win by 17 points.

backs may stumble a bit, but
they’ll beat Texas Tech by 15.
