Details of an office worker survey arrived at my desk, just as my heart was working up a good case of sympathy for the nation's working woman. I was considering them over worked, 22 million, a record number of them putting in 40 hours a week on the job and heaven knows how many more hours at home cooking, cleaning, marketing and mending. But this study indicates some sympathy should go also to hus bands. Their wives are assign ing them an increasing amount of household chores. The nation's largest independ ent automobile financing corpo ration mailed questionnaires on a variety of subjects to its 3,613 women employed in offices in this country, the United States and territories. Preferred New Role Nearly three fourths of the women reported they liked their two part role as wage earner and homemaker. Eighty per cent of them added that their husbands help with housework. This may sound to the men like an ominous trend. But it should inspire them to know one wife said, "my husband doesn't help, and I don't know one out of 10 who does." Do the obliging husbands get a night out for their coopera tion? Most wives said yes, but 35 per cent said such freedom is granted only occasionally Five per cent answered with a flat "no." One divorcee replied, "I did and he never came back." The tabulations also disclosed some interesting ideas the wom en have on clothes and bosses. Wanted Men Bosses 1 Only five per cent of the wom en wear a hat to the office, even though they owned an average of five hats each. One girl owned 50. Nineteen per cent said they wear skirts as long or short as they please, no matter what fashion dictates. "They're my legs," said one, "and I know how much should show." About half of the single girls said they go steady. Only 18 per cent of the unmarrieds had left the family homestead. Working women were definite about the boss they want. Eighty per cent preferred a man, and a married one. Ten per cent of the women favored a single man; closer inspection of these re turns revealed these same wom en were single themselves. DAV Junior Auxiliary Holds Recent Session Disabled American Veteran's Junior auxiuilary met March 23 at the home of Mrs. George Sim mons. Mrs. . Everett Grisson served as leader.

The Moores went abroad with the Oregon Farm Bureau, and en joyed a ten day tour of Honolulu From there they flew to Hilo, Hawaii and visited long-time friends, Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Crawford, who presented Mrs. Moore with a bouquet of or chids. Mrs. Moore, who is an avid gardener, was much im pressed with the many flowers and especially- with the hedges of red, yellow, "and white poin settias. While there, Mrs.. Moore visit ed several churches, where she was invited to show her unique Christian object lesson entitled, "The Patched Coat." Due to the many requests received to show her original lesson, the Moores remained longer in the islands than originally planned. Some of the churches they visited were the Chinese church at Honolulu, and the Assemblies of God in Kailua, Maili, Hilo, and Pepee kuo. At Maili, the Moores witnessed the unusual behavior of the tide and the waves, as the recent tidal wave struck further up along the islands. Mrs. Moore said it was an awesome sight to see the waves go contrary to their usual course, and roll out to sea. Mrs. Moore said it was an un forgettable trip, and she still cherishes and preserves a lei of pink carnations in her refriger ator. Governor Praises FHA Organization Salem Governor Robert D.
