Mother of Year
States Women
Could End War
By tyARY PRIME
"U.P. 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.

Career Girls
Efficient
Housewives
By GAY PAULEY
United Press Correspondent
New York .U.R) It looks
as if the efficiency a girl learns
in a career make, for the same
efficiency in running a home.
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.

BILLY GRAHAM IN THE GARDEN The Reverend BDIy
Graham addresses a group of workers for his crusade as
he dedicates Madison Square Garden in New York as a
place of God. The 38-year-old evangelist from North
Carolina, who has preached before millions of people
around the world, opened the meeting as the first in a
planned schedule of 47 consecutive evening evangelical
meetings to be held in the Garden.
On March 18, 1956, the New York City Police Department

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

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.

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.
