Business Opportunity Knocks
For Women of Creative Skill
By GAY PAULEY
United Press Correspondent
New York (1PI Business op
portunity still knocks for the
woman nimble with the thimble
or creative in the culinary arts..
It also is there for the women
with other home-making skill or
an unusual idea for a business
service, reports the New York
State Department of Commerce.
The department runs a unique
counseling program for women
who wish to turn their house
hold skills into income, but
aren't sure how to go about
same. Its women's division was
set up in 1945, originally to aid
women returning from war jobs.
Hobbies Expanded
In the 12 years, its files have
grown thick with success stor
ies such as the woman whose
knack with doll costumes even
tually was turned to design of
children's clothes and a success
ful business. Or, the woman
whose garden hobby was ex
panded and now includes a herb
farm, with greenhouse, highway
salesroom, and a booming mail
order business.
Now, the department has ex
panded its program with publi
cation of a handbook called
"Your Ideas Makes Cents and
Dollars Too," available national
ly as its mailing budget will al
low. "It if not at easy now as it
was in 1945 to start a business
at home," said Miss Barbara
Yuncker, assistant deputy com
missioner." "Then, there wag a
shortage of .consumer goods ." . .

women are faced with a buyer's
market.
"But there still are plenty of
fields open, if the woman has
the talent,
"The crafts, for instance. Or
fine needlework, for sale in bou
tique shops. Or, any needed
service, such as baby-sitting,
particularly in the small land
medium-sized towns."

Suspicion and the Green ...
Eyed Monster
John brings home a corsage of
roses for Jane and sweeps her
off her feet with a resounding
kiss. "Let's go out for dinner,
Honey," he suggests in a sudden
impulse of good-will. "I'll treat
you to the best steak in town
and a double dessert!"
Jane hurries into her newest
dress, and they are off for an
evening of good food and soft
music. But Jane cannot enjoy
her double dessert. All evening
she watches John with a ques
tion in her eyes.
What has he done to make
him treat her, to a restaurant
dinner? What is he hiding? Why
the roses? Don't guilty hus
bands always soften up their
wives with flowers? Could it be
something amiss about his job?
Has he had a fight with the boss
and been canned? Or could there
be a woman in the picture?
Roses must mean something!
John spends the , evening be
wildered at Jane's coolness and
vaguely uncomfortable under
her questioning stare. Maybe he
has been a fool to bring flowers
for Jane kid stuff, she'd say
and to suggest they eat out,
when money is so scarce. John
is suddenly tired, conscious of a
chill between them, too weary
to try to explain or understand
his growing unhappiness.
People who are habitually
suspicious of others' motives,
who are, forever looking behind
motives, questioning sincerity,
are unable to achieve genuine
happiness in any relationship.
They must be constantly reas
sured that all is well with their
world. Their demands are end
less and reassurances often mean
little to them.
Suspicion may weaken a mar
riage more completely than
physical violence. Unity is not
possible where there is doubt,
and the twin monsters of sus
picion and jealousy go hand in
also are numerous women who
sell everything . from ; pickles .to
plum puddings. But she warned
the food field is highly competi
tive, and is regulated by fed
eral, state and local health au
thorities. The handbook listed four

hand toward destruction.
Marriage partners cannot hide
suspicion and jealousy. If the
feelings are there, the couple
will sense them and no amount
of reassurance will help, if the
emotions persist.
Imagination is a fickle and
tricky thing. Suspicion, based
on imagination and uncorrobor
ated by facts, is deadly. Only
by becoming conscious of this
tendency toward doubt, and by
treating it with the aid of an
experienced counselor in ad
vanced cases, can a suspicion
ridden marriage be saved. Con
fidence, the opposite of suspi
cion, can be gained by evaluating
oneself and one's attitudes
honestly and then practicing
trust wherever possible.

Bomb Shakes Loose
From Jel Airplane
Albuquerque, N. M. (0)
Kirtland Air Force base offi
cials disclosed Thursday that
"light" bomb shook loose from
an Air Force jet bomber Wed
nesday and exploded over des
ert terrain.
Officials said the bomb, which
exploded about five miles south
of Albuquerque, did not cause
injury or property damage.
They said they withheld the
story from the public for 24
hours until completion of an in
vestigation and a search for any
other explosives.
The bomb shook loose from
the plane at the 2,000 foot level
because of "equipment malfunc
tion," the Air Force said.
