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
