FOUR MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Thursday. October 17, 1957 Home Mightier Than Satellite, McCall's Director Tells Women By A. ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Correspondent Washington While Washing ton was spinning giddily over the success of Sputnik, Demo crats scream ing with alarm and Republic ans pou ring out soothing syrup in even bigger doses, it was left to a group of p r i v ate citi zens to inject some sense in- A Rnht Smitb to national thinkinz. It was one of Arthur B. Lang lie's boys, down from the New York head office of McCall's, where the ex-governor of Wash ington state runs the corpora tion, who proceeded to provide much-needed perspective. 'This first Congress on Better Living is meeting in Washington this week during one of the most significant periods in his tory," observed Camille Davied, McCall's executive director, to the delegates assembled. "Throughout the world tonight many people undoubtedly are preoccupied with matters like intercontinental ballistics, nu clear waepons and space satel lites. '"I have great respect for atom power and satellites," ad mitted the editor. '"But I have more respect for a woman who can build love and affection and family warmth into four, walls." Home Thought Mightier "Yes," said he after a Solom on like weighting of the Great Issues, "I think the home is mightier than the satellite." With no further concern for Sputnik, the lady delegates put their minds to Better Living and reported concensus: "The 100 delegates from all over the country, acting as In addition to the Great lakes, sharing frontiers with the United States, Canada has nine lakes that are more than 100 miles each in length. spokesman for the nation's 50 million families, revealed an overwhelming trend toward re turning to the double bed as an essential ingredient to wed ded bliss. "Seventy-eight per cent of the delegates announced that they share a double bed, and nine per cent even have super-size ones, as against . a meager 13 per cent who exist in the twin- life h " KU; I SUFFERING FROM CANCER, wealthy Mrs. Allene Durs ton, 58, kidnaps grandson, Ronald B. White, 9, killed him and self in Los Angeles home, police reported. (International) bed atmosphere of the master bedroom." Salute To Theme Whether the ladies were think ing ahead to the coming era of leisure, or simply reflecting the fact that American suburbia is full of tiny bedrooms hardly big enough for twin beds, neverthe less their finding represented quite a salute to theme "togeth erness." And this was supremely pleasing to the sponsor of the Congress, McCall's magazine, whose hefty heart beats for "to getherness" every month. However, Mrs. Everett Sugar baker understandably had to abandon the principal in order to attend the convention in Washington. She left her 10 kids back in Jefferson City, MO. The greatest contribution yet to be made to Better Living, as seen from the female vantage point, would be to find a way to eliminate ironing. And anoth er thing, not content simply to move the furniture around (or watch hubby put a shoulder to the davenport), the gals want movable walls in order to rear- range theVhole place as family needs (or their moods) change. Sputnik May Hare Answer While the double bed is fine for wedded bliss, they said it would be so much better if some one could devise a way to permit the wife to read without keep ing the old man awake. Maybe Sputnik will have some observa tions from on high about that one. Right on the spiked heels of the 100 delegates came the 200 directors of the General Federa tion of Women's Clubs to the nation's capital. They trooped over to the Pentagon and heard Gen. Nathan F. Twining, chair man of the joint chiefs of staff, in what might be called a les son in "longer living." "I believe that as long as we maintain a strong military struc ture the Soviets will be deterred from attacking us," declared Twining. In a quick followup, Rear Admiral C. O. Tribble had a final precaution for the club women. Said the admiral, "We can't hide under the bed." Mount Mitchell in North Caro lina with an altitude of 6,711 feet, is the highest peak lying within the Appalachian moun tain range. The surface of North America is worn down about one foot every 1,000 years by the pro cesses of erosion, according to geological surveys. Better get 2 ones never i enough!
