But 1 am talking about life-time fi nancial planning," she said. Wife In Dark "A husband who keep his wife l(S)the dark about money, and a wife who permits him to do so are asking for trouble for themselves and their children,' she said in an interview at her offices with Seligman, Lfebetfcin and company. For the grim fact Is. a wife may one day have to taKt over as head of the family," s h continued. "I don't mean that the wife has to become an expert, but She needs a working knowledc of money. She should be with her husband when he buys secur ities; she should know all the details of insurance policies; she should know what his invest ments in stocks and bonds are, and why they were made. Mrs. Kennedy said that every one's investments need constant examination, and change as the nation's economic picture chanf es. Should Brief Children She also believes in letting the children in on family finance. "I don't mean that children must know their father earns $327 a month and that S67 of that goes for a mortgage pay ment," she added. "But it should be impressed on them that the family purse isn't bottomless; that some mcjey must go for essentials, leaving onfy a cer tain amount for other things." Mrs. Kennedy, a vivacious wo man In her early 40 s, was wid owed in her 20's, with t'o small children to support. But she had early training in finance; her father is an investment author ity In Kansas City, Mo. Ruhls Return Mr. and Mrs. R. W.

Medford, Kidnaping Is Inspiration For Inter-Com By VIVIAN SANDE United Press Correspondent New York P A kidnaping that shocked the world helped play a large part in the remark able career of Miryam Simpson, a pioneer in the world of elec tronics. It happened on March 1, 1932. Miryam was 19 years old, a ra dio "ham" and a dreamer. Ra dio was in its infancy and Mir yam, even though she was-a girl, was learning all she could about it. She built her first crystal set at the age of six, and from that time on her career was cut out for her. The girl had an idol in those days, a man who believed in an other kind of dream, and made it come true; Charles Lindbergh. That first day of March in 1932 Miryam never left her self made wireless as the tragic news of the Lindbergh baby kidnap ping filled the air. In the months that followed she couldn't get out of her mind the idea that there should have been some way to protect the baby. First Model The following year Miryam made her first model of an inter communications set for the home a device that carries sounds from one room to another. The same model still appears in the catalog of Miryam Simp son's products. Miryam Simpson now is pres ident and general sales manag er of Masco, a Long Island firm that makes 207 different elec tronics communications items her plant grosses about $2,000, 000 a year. During the last war Miryam Simpson was a dollar-a-year-wo-man in Washington, and she still is the only woman member of the exclusive Gaslight Club of top executives in the electronics field. She readily admits it's hand for a woman to crack this field which still is almost exclusively a man's world. But she credits some of her own success in it to the fact that she is a woman; particularly the pioneering she has done in the home intercom munications field. An Accident Some of her customers use the small intercom to talk to their dogs in the back yard, pro tect their poultry against thieves or to listen to what the neigh bors are saying on the front porch. But Miryam Simpson be lieves her invention is a "wife saver," something that could save the housewife many steps; and an "electronic nurse," mak ing it possible for a mother to keep in touch with her child through walls. Miryam Simpson is a hearty n Oregon Few American Foods Suit Everyone's Taste Chicago Itfl Except for steak, ice cream cones, and ham and eggs, there seem to be few truly American foods that suit everyone's taste. "Regional preferences still play an important role in decid ing what foods will sell best in what areas," said Mary Hale Martin, home economist for Libby, McNeill, and Libby. However, she said recent shifts in population, and in creased travel seem to be malr ing a melting pot of American foods. "Perhaps the last stronghold of regional tastes is in the south, but even so, some of the special items are finding acceptance in the north, just as fried chicken did years ago, " she said. "With continued population shifts," continued Miss Martin, "it seems reasonable to predict that some day soon we will all speak the same language in food as well as the same mother ton gue." woman. But five years ago she was in an accident that nearly took her life. It incapacitated l.er for a year, and left her with metal pins and plates in her body. She says the experience taught her a lot. ' I was cocky until then," she said. 'Then I learned that we human beings, no matter who we are, are inconsequential in the large scheme of things. We can be wiped out in a second."
