Modem Mother Must be Combination
Of Chef, Decorator, Social Worker
By ELIZABETH TOOMEY
United Press Correspondent
York -UP.) A modern
wife is su)Osed to have a head
for figures, an eye for good de
sign, a hand in community proj
ectspafirm grip on her children,
a sympathetic ear for the hus
band's business problems and a
mind of her own. i
She needs the iron nerves of
a circus juggler and .the com
bined abilities of chef, decora
tor, social worker and movie
.siren, lamented a sympathetic
woman who has been a consult
ant to hundreds of housewives
irPthe past decade.
"The worst thing about it,"
added Barbara Joseloff as she
. sat calmly in the center of a
confusion of lamps, chairs and
lengths of fabric, "is that a
woman feels such a failure if
fhe falls down in filling any of
'these roles."
Interior DecoraJor
Mrs. Joseloff is called to step
in and rescue women from only
one type of trouble. When the
draperies don't go with the fur
niture and the chairs don't suit
the family's needs and the
housewife's temper is bad from
trying to remedy the mistakes
that's when Mrs. Joseloff 's
phone rings. She Is an interior
designer.
"An what kind oi a reaction
do a lot of wives get from their
husbands when they go to a
decorator?" Mrs. Joseloff asked.
"The man says, 'You mean you
can't plan your own home . . .
you have to call irP somebody
else?-
"We have made women
ashamed to confess their own
lack o ability. We've made
them lack good taste if they
don't create a charming home.
Actually, interior designing has
little to do with taste. It requires-
knowledge of good de
sign. Unless a woman has time
to study it, we shouldn't expect
her to be an expert."
Tastes Must Be Trained
Mrs. Joseloff was interviewed
In her office in a narrow two
story building on East 51st
Street. She drives to work daily
with her husband, an advertis
ing executive, from their home

"Tastes must be trained," the

were torn from a speeding to

being rescued. Both suffered
broken thigh bones.
The girls, Judy Kister and
Irma Richards, both 13, were
coasting down a steep incline
when their legs caught on a fro

hurled into a frozen snow bank.
They were taken to a Vancou

Plows Battle Snow
In Midwest States
By UNITED PRESS
Snow plows turned out across
the Northern Midwest today to
clear away the heaviest snows
of the season.
Meanwhile, a new cold wave
took command of the East, drop
ping temperatures along the
Gulf states and Atlantic Sea
board. On the West Coast, five
persons were killed on rain
slicked highways in Los Angeles
county.
The week-end storm that
swept the Midwest piled up
nearly a foot of snow across the
Dakotas, Minnesota, Wisconsin.
and Upper Michigan. Traffic was
slowed to a crawl before snow
plows began bucking the drifts.
At Duluth, Minn., an 11-mch
snowfall was whipped by 59-
mile-per hour winds which also
picked up a couple's car and
threw it into Lake Superior.
The heavy snows ended yester
day, but were followed by a
sub-zero chill which dropped
the temperature to 20 below at
Fraser, Colo.; 11 below at Inter
national Falls, Minn.; and 10 be
low at Bismarck, N. D.
Another storm hit Southern
California yesterday, dumping
up to eight inches of snow in
mountains near Los Angeles.
West Germany Pushes
Production Marks Higher
Dusseldorf, Germany (U.R)
West German steel mills and
foundries kept up their record
breaking daily pace in Novem
ber to push yearly production
figures closer to an all time
high, it was announced today.
However, the month's total
production fell below that of Oc
tober because of extra holidays
Rhur steel experts expect the
total output for 1955 to exceed
16,500,000 tons for pig iron and
21,400,000 tons for steel. The
totals in 1954 were 12,500,000
tons of pig iron and 17,400,000
tons of steel.
