Housewife Needs Bigger Breakfast Says s Nutritionist The lady of the house may see to it that the family is well fed, but chances are that she doesn't eat an adequate break fast herself. Miss Agnes Kol shorn, extension nutrition spe cialist at Oregon State colloge, reports a recent survey that shows many women still need to improve their breakfast hab its. Of more than 300 women sur veyed in South Dakota, about three-fourths had breakfasts well below recommendations in nutritive value. But women living in the country tended to have more adequate breakfasts than those in cities and towns. Eggs appeared on only one fifth of the women's breakfasts. Most popular types were these four: (1) toast, roll or cereal and coffee; (2) fruit, toast or roll or cereal, and coffee; (3) fruit, both toast and cereal and coffee; (4) cereal, toast and coffee. Sixty three per cent of the breakfasts were of these four types all without eggs. Nutritionists usually agree that breakfast should supply from one-fourth to one-third of the day's calories and proteins, according to Miss Kolshorn. They are convinced, too, that a good breakfast pays dividends in greater work efficiency and less mid-morning fatigue. DAR Announces Program Topic Crater Lake chapter.

Freedom Increased The last world war, he said, increased the freedom of wom en and their assumption of re sponsibility "and it's been hard to keep some of them in a one- car family ever since. "You can be sure, he con tinued, "that power steering, automatic transmissions and other features which make driv ing easier have played a large part." He went on to recall how manufacturers have aimed at fashion-conscious Mrs. America by dressing their cars up with brightly colored exteriors and matching interiors plus wash able, colorful upholstery. Then he really warmed to the sub ject. "Sure, women are better driv ers than men.

She's a swell driver . . ." Here a vice-president, Wil liam L. Wilson, interrupted gently. "Wouldn't you say that wom en are just more cautious, a lit tle more polite, or even timid?" he said. "That may be," Lundell ad mitted. "Many insurance com panies rate young women as much better risks than young men because they don't try to show off behind the wheel." "Yes, some women are excel lent drivers, but on the whole do you think that women react as well in emergencies or under trying circumstances?" asked Wilson. "It's true that women don't do the hard driving that men do. I guess about all you can say is that some women are good drivers and some aren't, and the same holds true of men," said Lundell. "But I still think my daugh ter's the best driver I've ever ridden with."
