a teenager selected by th?
Girls Clubs of America ji the
outstanding future homemaker
of the year, believes there is a
tendency away from her ae
group's going "steady."
The attractive teen-ager, from
Worcester. Mass., said girls in
her school now date severa
boys instead of one.
Helen, 16, discussed dating
problems on a recent trip to
Manhattan to accept the clubs'
homemaker-of-the-year titie.
She said her parents never
have set a curfew for her dating
"I get home between 11:30
and midnight." But she added
"My parents worry just like any
others. They're glad when I get
home.
"But I wouldn't think of dat
ing a boy my parents had not
met," she added.
Helen was chosen for the
homemaker a"ward for leader
ship qualities and the every-dav
use she has made of her home
making studies.
Helps at Home
Helen has been a member of
Winthrop House, one of two
large girls clubs in Worcester.
for six years. For the past four
years, she has been a junior
assistant in the sewing depart
ment, where she helps younger
girls make clothes. She learned
to sew there and now makes all
her own clothes. oShe designs
her outfits, too, usually by com
bining several patterns.
Helen also likes to cook espe
cially pastries. She has lots of
time to practice the art of home
making because her mother is
a semi-invalid.
Her father recently retired be
cause of poor health. Two of her
older brothers are living at
home, and the third is married
The two at home are going to
college, so Helen does most of
the work around the house, help
ing her mother. She says the
boys should not be expected to
help because they have to study.
Helen taught herself typing
and now copies themes and re
ports for her brothers as well as
her own papers.
At school, she is on the news
paper staff and belongs to the
dramatic club and debating
team.
She wants to be a trained
nurse, and hopes to get a schol
arship for a five-year course at
Massachusetts General hospital
in Boston.

like men.

been in politics a long time. She
has served 10 years as mayor
and city manager of this city of

Feiisa said that in making ap
pointments she never thinks "in
terms of men and women," but
