Housewives Like Domestic Life, Poll Indicates By GAY PAULEY United Press Correspondent Some housewives wouldn't swap their aprons for a movie star's mink. A questionnaire sent to young homemakers in Levlt town, N. Y.. showed most of them happy as "just housewives" and a bit fed up with all this stulf printed about their bore dom and dissatisfaction. The Tide Washing Clinic, a consumer service organization, questioned 108 women. Only 14 said they disliked domesticity and wished they had office jobs. "I hate housework." said one young matron bluntly. "Too many children . . . I'm run ragged," said another. But among the 94 who liked their roles, there were such glowing comments as. ". . . I'm blessed with two nice little girls, a car . . a TV set. Who could ask for anything more?" "Sure I like this job," said another. "It's one I can't get fired from." The questionaire also asked whether the women thought they were good homemakers. Eighty-four rated themselves excellent. But one honest lady yaid that sometimes "there are fuzzysuzzies under the bed, and the ironing gets dangerously ahead of me. The closets can't take Too close inspection: and there are those days when every thing goes wrong and my mother-in-law drops in." CALENDAR..

MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THRSE Magazine Urges Resta What is a person who is fol lowing a medically prescribed diet to do when he has to eat away from home? Few restaur ants make any provision for the large number of persons who, under physician's orders, are limited in their food choices. Perhaps they are on a low sodi um diet; or are barred from eat ing sugar; or must not eat foods containing considerable fat; or are on a low carbohydrate diet. Failure to adhere to diet re- urants To Serve Diet Foods strictions may cause severe in jury in some cases. In an article in , Restaurant Management Magazine, W. W. Bauer proposes that restaurant operators should perform a pub lic service and also increase their revenues by learning how to provide for customers who cannot eat just anything. To initiate this service, he says, "requires only a slight change in the menu" in many cases. "The addition of fresh fruit, water packed fruits and cheese to every dessert list would render a great service to the diet restricted customers. Skim milk is another item this group would appreciate." Artifical sweeteners should be available, he says; and the chef should learn what a low-sodium diet really is and why it is im portant. He thinks the clientele would gladly pay for the extra expense necessary to serve low sodium food. F 1 ' - Yv M " . ONCE AGAIN 0 76,h ANNIVERSARY SALE " 1 Vs."
