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."

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.
