Central server. The only reason husbands in other countries don't know what they're missing, apparently, is that the world has the wrong impression of American women. "The American woman pic tured in Hollywood movies is not found outside Hollywood and the larze cities." Oscar Yanes wrote in an article titled "For Married Men And Bachelors" in a Vene zuelan newspaper. Yanes was a member of a group of Latin American journalists brought here this year by the Department of State. Millions of people talk about them who know them only by report," he pointed out. The truth, as Yanes saw it, was far more flattering than the rumors. I "The most amazing thing about the American woman is her ca pacity for work," he told the South American men. "After eight hours a day In an office or shop, she has time to keep her house clean and neat and go out with her husband in the evening. How does she do it? She never takes a siesta." Besides not sleeping on the job. women here make much less nf their chance for independence than the world realizes, Yanes observed. "When a Latin American wish es to praise his fiance for being obedient and docile, he tells her she is not like American wom en." he wrote. He found the im plied criticism in this custom to be quite undeserved. "The American home func tions smoothly, because it Is so well organize d," Yanes ex plained. "It is not a place where the man makes the decisions. Both husband and wife make the decisions. It is a democratic or ganization where both are perm anent members of the governing body. "If this system were applied In Latin America or many other places In the world, the woman would take advantage of her freedom. However, with few ex ceptions, this Is not true in the United States." An American wife also takes great pride in her appearance. Yanes concluded. "Regardless of her age," he wrote, "she wants to be attractive to her husband. Girls looking for husbands should think about heading for Venezuela. They'll never get bet ter advance billing as wives among the bachelors of any na tion. Barbecue Salad A chunk lettuce salad with soma buttery, cooked large dry limas, slivers of cheese and diced tomato tossed with a wine vinegar-blue cheese dressing goes extra well with a barbecue.

Friday, September 7. 1356 Society Food Specialist Gives Tips on Sandwich Bread If you're searching for sand wich specials that will keep back-to -schoolers well-fed, the key may be in the bread you ! use. i Days of sad-sack lunches can be gone forever, if you try as sortment of breads now offered in local stores, says Dorothy Sherrill, Oregon State college food marketing specialist. Today's markets are stocked with baked, partially baked, frozen and canned breads, that have special keeping qualities. Dark and white bread counters are filled with an endless line up of different kinds of rolls and breads that can help the lunch packer avoid sandwich-making monontony. When buying bread, don't squeeze it to see if it's fresh, advises Miss Sherrill. Pinching the package doesn't indicate whether it's fresh or stale. Some breads are naturally more com pact while others are light weight and fluffy. With modern packaging and marketing meth ods, grocers can usually ensure buying is fresh. When planning sandwich fil lings the OSC specialist recom mends selection of foods that are in ample supply at relative ly low prices in local stores. Included in her list are: fore quarter cuts of beef, cheese, but ter, stewing chickens, turkey, canned tuna and peanut butter. Some fillings can be prepared beforehand. Pot roast an arm or blade beef roast, chill and slice. Stew hen, remove meat from bones and refrigerate. Carrots, celery sticks, radishes and cau liflowerettes can be cleaned and cooled for relish tuck-ins. These combinations of plenti ful foods and different kinds of bread are suggested by Miss Sherrill and Agnes Kolshorn, OSC extension nutritionist: Pumperknickel and Swiss cheese Boston brown with bacon bits and cold beans; rye and cream cheese with chive; Vienna and bologna; French bread and sliced cold lamb; and salt-rising bread with lemon butter and zucchini slices.

Jane and Joe, off to their honeymoon amidst a shower of rice and pood wishes, with destination Happiness ahead, reappear in the divorce court. Why, askiheir friends, did this marriage break when it seemed so perfect, so sure to succeed? Why did this happen to US echo Jane and Joe, in equal bewilderment. Why, indeed? What are the causes of divorce? Here at the American In stitute of Family Relations thousands of broken marriages have been salvaged from the reefs of conflict and despair be fore they reach the divorce court. All. at their first con ference with the counselor dis play one element in common: lack of cooperative sympathy and understanding. Through months or years of gradual mis understanding and tension, they have lost the one-ness which is necessary both to create and sustain a successful marriage. Into their unity have come prob lems which they cannot solve without the insight which is part of sympathy; problems of in laws, finances, religion, children varietism, infidelity. A general survey of the prob lem seems to point up three causes for divorce throughout the nation: lack of common in terests, hastiness or even lack of engagement period, and money difficulties. Marriage counselors familiar with the difference between real and rationalized causes might rank these statist ics in different order, but the public seems to feel that the business of the divorce court springs from these sources: Lack of common interest and back- CALENDAR Calendar nttiees and news for the society Motion of The MaU Tribune must be submitted in writing and deadline for the Sun day ediUon is 1 P-m.
