Staff Correspondent New York UP) Mrs. Irene Silva de Santolalla, the Latin America's "Mother of the Year," says women have the power to turn the world into just one big happy family. "If women would learn to ex ercise their influence properly, there would be no need for a United Nations and no threat of war," she said in an inter view. She called for a new aware ness on the part of wom en everywhere of international problems and of the need for teaching their children how to approach them as they grow. "Travel, reading, mixing with peoples from other countries, all these will help," said Mrs. Santolalla. One of 13 Mrs. Santolalla was honored by the United Women of Amer ica for her work in helping to prepare women of her native Peru and other South American nations for their roles as wives and mothers. This attractive, gray - haired woman is small in stature, but has risen to great heights as a pioneer in the field of family education. For 18 years she has been a writer, counselor and teacher. As the oldest of 13 children, she learned early in life of the obligations of caring for a fam ily. She was convinced that high schools and most colleges did not provide girls the type of education needed if they were to be successful in the home. So she set out to help as best she could. Four Children Mrs. Santolalla has a family of her own four children but found time to write four books and more than 900 articles for international publication. Her work led to leadership confer ences in South America, trie United States and Europe. She also worked with UNESCO and a special United Nations Com mittee in Peru. She founded a Peruvian school for marriage and family educa tion, believed to be the only one of its kind in the world. It has a one-year curriculum, includ ing spiritual instruction, family education, hygiene, child care, interior decorating and home economics. It opened in 1952, with eight students. It now has 100 stu dents, its capacity. Ages range from 15 on, "even to 100 if necessary," Mrs. Santolalla said. Mrs. Santolalla teaches one course, and her daughters help Patrolman Says Women Guilty of Excessive Speeds Detroit OI.R) The Detroit housewife has been turning the motor city's quiet, tree-lined streets into Indianapolis speed ways, say the chivalrous but du tiful men in blue. In recent crackdowns on speeding, patrolmen found the traditionally careful female driver was guilty of the more excessive speeds. '"We were as surprised as any one else," Inspector William Polkinghorn admitted, ''but our records of speeders show women outspeeding male motorists." Usually the little lady in a hurry has a legitimate excuse, the inspector said. "They seem to have a definite destination and though they're in a hurry, few are really out and out speedsters." Patrolman Archie Chapman, who spends his afternoons on ra dar patrol handing out tickets, agreed the ladies rarely step on the gas simply for the thrill of speeding. "Sometimes they're in a hur ry to deliver the kids to school or drop their husbands off at the office," he explained: "The streets seem deserted and they just aren't observant when it comes to noticing traffic signs or changes in speed limits." Does all this sympathy mean Chapman will spare a speeding housewife a costly ticket? Not for a minute. "We try to be firm but po lite," he said. "With radar and electrical speed timing devices. we get cold, hard facts so there's no point in trying to argue. "We even offer to show them how the speed timing equipment works, if they are interested." "But if they are speeding in the first place," Chapman add ed, "They are in too big a hurry to stick around and find out what trapped them." For The Jam Pot Washington (U.R) The U. S Department of Agriculture re ports something new is bubbling in the jam pot. It's blubarb jam, a combination of rhubarb and blue-berries. The department said the new sweet developed by one of its research divisions is made of equal parts of two fruits, neither of which used alone is well suited to jam pro duction. The rhubarb aloneis too expensive and too tart for wide appeal; bluberries are too bland in taste when preserved. out. One daughter has a child, another teaches in the nursery and the third is the national director of the Girl Scouts. The Santolalla's son is an engineer ing student, following his fa ther's profession.

At least, it does so far as a Le- vittown, N.Y. housewife and for mer career girl is concerned. The Tide Washing clinic, in terested in the amount of walk ing which today s woman puts into the weekly laundry, placed pedometers on 10 Levittown women to keep track of their footwork. Washday included sorting, washing, hanging up, taking down, folding and put ting away. Conditions the Same ' The clinic chose its contest ants from a development in Lev ittown, where the houses vary only in color. Even the laundry equipment i s identical. The families of each were the same husband, wife and three chil dren. The clinic figured that if the women all are doing the same job in the same setting, and with the same equipment, any differ ence in time consumed would mean a difference in efficiency. ' The liveliest stepper was Mrs. Agnes Olson, who walked only 316 of a mile. The slowest fin--ished the washday chores' in five miles. Figured for a year, this meant that Mrs. Olson would do 52 washings in less than 10 mil es .. . While the slowest house wife would walk !60 miles to do the same job. Why the difference? Mrs. Olson said, to begin with, before her marriage she had learned to crowd a lot of work into a little time. She was sec retary to three executives in a steamship company "any of whom could have kept a steno pool busy," she added. Uses Short Cuts Today, she still is just as busy, although she no longer reports to an office. She runs a six-room house, takes care of the three children, and acts as secretary for her husband, a general "con tractor. "When I start the day, I don't know -how many I'm going to feed at breakfast ... or lunch," said Mrs. Olson. "I just go down and count 'em." The carpenters wno worK ior ner nusoana be gin their day at the 01-n break fast table. - Here are some of Mrs. Olson's step-saving hints for washday. She' never sorts clothes . . . she has a self:dividing hamper, in cluding a section for nylons and for clothes that need mending. She always mends before wash ing, so a rip doesn't become big ger in the automatic washer. She has a clothes tree which revolv es, so that it turns to meet her, rather than her walking around to hang the wash. She tries to choose clothing which needs little or no ironing. "And I fold sheets on the cloth es line and iron other things on top of them ... in effect, I iron two things at once," she said.

THE GALKZ-MURPHYGASE: ACHKGLE OF TERROR Narrated by EDWARD R. MURROW Tonight from 8:00 to 9:00 p.m. Dial 1230 Ff Yf II (ft CBS Radio Va II J) Aluminum Safe, Business Bureau Declares Again New York U.P.) The Nation al Better Business Bureau says, once and . for all, .aluminum cooking utensils are safe. The bureau said it had inves tigated repeated "allegations" that aluminum utensils may not be safe for cooking. It said that a poll of hospitals in all parts of the nation showed "an over whelming majority" dismissed charges that the utensils are bad for health. Some 86 per cent said "we ourselves use alumi num utensils . . . ?n our kitchens.'" . The bureau also questioned the American Cancer Society, the U. S. Public Health Service, the U. S. Department of Agri culture, the American Medical Association, the Mayo Clinic and the Federal Trade Commis sion in making its unusual re port. . t The bureau classed the charges against" the safety of aluminum, cookware- as "com pletely unfounded." - Medical Science Proves Old Wives Tale True Warren, Pa. U.R Medi cal science has come to the res cue of another "old wives' tale" and proved more babies are born during the early morning hours. Dr. Peter D. King of the State hospital here said an extensive survey has showed the peak hour for deliveries is 5 to 6 a.m. The "low hour," according to Dr. King, is between 7 and 8 p.m. Dr. King based his "stork ac tivity" ratings on 33,215 births during the past nine years at five . hospitals in Pennsylvania, New York and Michigan. He eliminated from his study babies born by Caesarian , sec tion, second and third babies in multiple births and cases in which instruments were used. That way, he said, the true na ture of the stork is revealed. Some veteran travelers find packing is easier if they make in advance a list of things need ed. Pack the list too. It serves as a check list each time you re-pack and .move on. v ; Modern Supermarkets Return to Old Ideas New York U.R) Modern supermarkets have become gla morous first cousins of the old- fashioned general store.. The nation's 17,000 supermar kets are returning to the old idea of stocking up on goods other than food. The national supermarket non-food exhibit held in Manhattan recently re ported that sale of such items is expected to hit a record $5,000, 000,000 this year and account for one-fourth of the business. "Supermarkets are developing into junior department stores," said Ray Passis, vice-president of the exhibit. Now housewives can buy shirts, umbrellas, costume jewelry and dishes on supermar ket shelves. Youngsters can get dolls and bicycles. And for the men, the markets carry saws, drills and paint. One official said his stores ev en sell oil paintings. A glaze of orange juice and grated orange rind is delicious over canned sliced beets. Specialist Defends Youngsters Who Hate Champaign 111. (U.R) A Un iversity of Illinois child develop ment specialist defends young sters reluctant to practice music. It's more important, said Mrs. Millicent Martin, for a young child to enjoy playing an in strument than for him to play it well. Once a basic love of music is established, then there's time for serious playing and practice. Drums, bells, triangles, cym bals and other percussion instru ments are good for beginners to identify and follow rhythm, Mrs. Maryn said. The young sters often delight in tapping out a rhythm while listening to a radio or phonograph. But she said that reading notes and playing pieces on orders from. parents doesn't necessarily help children love and appreci ate music. The rubber rings used to seal fruit jars are ideal for the bot toms of ash trays, vases or other ware that might damage the fin ish of furniture. Planning To . BUILD or REMODEL? Let Us Help You!
