TWO MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Monday, December 27, 1954 Society and Clubs Survey Shows Housewife Interested In Easing Work By GAY PAULEY United Press Correspondent New York U.R) Today's woman is highly interested in politics, clubs, education, and what Marilyn Monroe thinks of marriage. But she wants more than anything else to read how her job as housewife can be made easier. : . , . After that, she wants to know how she can make herself more attractive and better dressed. - This is the gist of opinion of women's editors in answer to a United Press questionnaire ' on what in their pages pulls the greatest readership. Some 143 newspapers answer the question naire. They represented all kinds of papers from metropolitan dailies to those of the small towns and were from all sec tions of tne nation. ' Some of the women's editors said bluntly their readers were fed to the teeth with "the same old celebrities called on for comment. How about some new faces?" One quipped that ''Mari lyn Monroe always ends up on the sports pages anyway." Another women's editor said the only personality outside her own community who , has any appeal for women readers "is Mamie Eisenhower." Another editor male said he believed women readers had i heard them. enough even about the First Lady. ...... c 'The women's editors with few exceptions agreed that then readers like stories of general interest of women in politics, business and club life; of the atom jn its relation to the kitch en of the future1 and what wom en in Russia aren't wearing. But there is more reader in terest, they said, in such down-to-earth subjects as budgets, nu trition, child care,, and beautifi- cation both of the home and the housewife. And with a few ex ceptions, the editors said women wanted more fashion news. "But the woman isn't inter ested," said one, "in advice on how to wash. her brassiere ev ery night or scrub her. elbows and. knees now that winter's here." Another women's editor said: "We're not interested in the population of Pago Pago but we would like to be able to tell the housewives how they can ease their working day." Women also like to hear how others of their sex are making a living, one editor . said. And, with few exceptions, the editors added, there should be more news of special interest to the women all 53,000,000 of w 9 i -r tbA . r - 1 DRIVING TO SANDRINGHAM for Christmas holidays, little Princess Anne wears new "pirate cap" which some observers be lieve may start fashion for small fry.
