C (U.R) To day's career women who prefer the office to home don't know what they're missing, says the pretty wife of famous evangelist Billy Graham. 1 "Some women feel frustrated if they can't have a career, but not me," she said. "Frankly, I feel sorry for those who must go out and work, because being a mother is the most wonderful life in the world." The attractive mother of three girls and a boy admits she once entertained ambitions for a career, but she quickly aban doned them when her "chance of a lifetime" came along. That was back at Wheaton College, Illinois, where she was preparing for missionary work in China, an ambition she de veloped during her childhood in the Orient where her father served as a medical missionary. Billy Changed Her Mind At Wheaton, she met a tall, handsome divinity student named Billy Graham. Right then, her interest in a career became something less than aU consuming. "It didn't take much talking for Billy to persuade me to give up my plans to return to China," she said in an interview before she left for Europe to join her husband on a tour. They were married in 1943 after a two-year courtship. The bride followed her husband in his early career when he preached throughout the nation in an evangelistic crusade that was to bring him fame. But, a grjwing family forced her to remain at home when Billy traveled with his growing organization. Today, only oc casionally does she leave the modest Graham home in the scenic mountains of western North Ca'rolina near Asheville to join her husband at some far- A lendr figur can b youra it you'll WATCH your CALORIES.

Burton Wood, who was principal speaker for the annual Home makers festival last Thursday in Central Point. Dr. Wood, an agricultural economist for Oregon State college, reviewed eco nomic prospects for the coming year. ' , ' The speaker urged his listen ers to plan their buying wisely and to refrain from buying when cost seems excessive. "Prices are high because the consumer 'votes' that way," Dr. Wood said. He added that families should use their credit wisely, not over extend their credit position and added "this is not the best time to plunge." American consumers are pay ing a large amount for "services" the speaker said, explaining that this includes such things as pre paration and packaging of food and the thousand and one other tasks which individuals former- ly performed for themselves and flung spot. The separations, of course, work hardships on them both, but she said she became recon ciled to them when she married the blond evangelist. Wouldn't Change Anything J "Any marriage must be basd on common interests. Both Bill and I are wholeheartedly to gether in his work," she said. "Certainly I would : like to have him home with us, but no sacrifice is too great if it helps in his work." She said these sacrifices pay off manyf old in the happiness of others. "It's wonderful to see people's lives transformed by Christ. If you could see . the change in their lives take place in that miraculous moment." Does she sometimes regret her decision to become a housewife instead of a missionary? Emphatically not. "I consider being a wife and mother the greatest privilege accorded woman on this earth," she said.

May 8, 1955 tient in a generalhospital in the United State3 has dropped from 14 to 9 days, the association re ports. Miss Larsen pointed out that at Community it is now under five days. The public has come to rely increasingly on the hospital as a health center, the association adds, and everyone in the com munity should be aware of the facilities and services available. which are now performed for them. The speaker said generally it is believed that the coming year will be a good tjne economically, but that farmers might receive fewer dollars than last year. He stressed that spending is import ant to business, and that if every one oAs down on his spending in proportion to his income, it has an adverse affect on busi ness. ( He analyzed the changes in spending habits of the nation, noting that enormous sums are spent for alcohol, tobacco and such luxuries. He predicted that the percentage spent for housing will increase. Dr. Wood said that farmers are receiving less of the consum er's food dollar and gave figures on the percentage spent for the various farm food dollars. The economist said that many new lines are being introduced for the "price market" and re minded his listeners that gener ally speaking,.quality goes down as price goes down. He said that goods and services will be abund ant this year, that some "good buys" will be available but urged his audience not "to be fooled at the bargain table.", He added that prices are always marked down for a reason, and that before buying a bargain, the horhemaker should find out why. "Stay with your established mer chant," he urged. Dr. Wood . closed by saying "America is not going to pot" and that homemakers should pay no 'attention to "prophets of .doom."
