Western Disc Records Liked in Red Hungary By ENDUE MARTON ' BUDAPEST, Hungary M5) I There is some importing of long Classical records from the West play records from Russia and are sweeping Communist Hun-, Czechoslovakia, and the govern gary. Radio broadcasts from ment has collected the finest rec- Western Europe have long been ! orris manufactured m the West, What This Country Needs Omaha Public Ledger Big-town reporters are a pretty cynical lot. Thus, we got a jolt the other day in looking over New York's Daily News-fur-the-millions to discover that a hard-boiled newspaperman had written a long piece; not about murder, passion, or even politics but about a sewing machine. It seems he had just learned in five minutes by-the-cloek how to embroider his name on a piece of goodsand he couldn't have been more excited if he'd written it on ice. Besides learning how to write "Bob Sullivan", he discovered this Pfaff machine even threads its own needle, and, with everything built-in, it shifts from straight stitching to making button-boles, appliqueing and embroidery by. merely flipping a knob. And, recalling that box full of mysterious attachments that ent with grandma's treadle pump machine, we can just imagine what a kick she would get out of this new German precision job. In fact we'd kind of like to try it ourselves. Sullivan says men are getting as much fun out of this new machine as tinkering with a carburetor, feeding a parakeet or building a new room on the house. At "do-it-yourself" exhibitions around the country, it's drawing more inquiries from men than women. Husbands who have been wincing over clothing bills operate the machine themselves, shaming their wives into taking up home sewing. We men arc "all thumbs," of course, but it seems we can sew better than women who don't sew at all! For most women who take up their husband's dare, says Sullivan, things turn out fine. The kids get into the act too, and before you know it, everyone Is busily and happily making some things for somebody else. Impressed by this family team-work Sullivan asked a pschologist about it. "It's a healthy trend," the gentleman said. "It puts a unifying force into marriage. A hus band who is willing to work side by side with his wife indicates he is accepting her as a real equal." 4 What this country needs, declared the psychologist, Is more sewing machines for wedding presents in place of the cut-glass punch bowls, cake-slicers and fancy table cloths that go into a cedar chest (or something) and are nevermore seen. But they'd better have those control knobs and built in gim micks so us men can do some showing off and give our women folks a showing-upi Over $1500 For Heart Fund The Sunday afternoon solicita tion for the Heart Fund will ex ceed SI 500 when all returns are in, in the opinion of Dr. Ray Pin son, chairman of the drive.
