Homemakers "he's wonderful. I don't Ipvrr what we could do with out her." These words, sin rely spoken by a Medford mother and homemaker are typical of the praise which several valley couples have for the Navajo Indians girls, graduates of Chemawa Indian school near Salem, who have come to the valley in the past year to live in Medford and Ashland homes. The first arrived slightly more than a year ago, and are now well established.

The graduates are placed only in homes which meet certain rigid requirements and standards, and a supervisor visits each home at regular intervals. Any problems which either the household ers or the graduates have are discussed with her. Super visor in Oregon is Mrs. Ro- setta Johnston, who is held in the highest regard by both the Navajo girls and the cou ples here who employ them. In most of the valley homes where the girls are now liv ing, they take their meals with the family, attend church with the family group and join in their recreation acti vities. Families take the girls along on trips. Mrs. Johnston explains that the program of placing the young Indian men and wom en in homes serves several purposes. It provides employ ment and security and gives the young people an oppor tunity to live in homes which there is much to be learned not only in home manage ment and family life, but in citizenship and community re sponsibility. In this, the moth er, father and children have a duty to perform, as well as the newcomer, it is pointed out. The young Navajos are be ing placed in several cities throughout the west, it is said, and so well has the program worked that there is a long waiting list of requests. None of the young men, trained in agriculture and other voca tions, have as yet been placed in Jackson county, but appli cations are on file. Chemawa, which celebrated the 78th anniversary of estab lishment with a ceremony in February, has about 700 stu dents, both boys and girls. They come mainly from Ari zona and New Mexico, and only with the permission of their parents. They start their education at about 10 years, and return home to the reser vation at vacation time to visit their families. The young people are wards of the gov ernment until 21 years old. The Navajos are an intelli gent and proud race and al most never marry outside the tribe. At the school, located seven miles from Salem, the chil dren are given courses modi fied from those given in pub lic schools, and are trained particularly in the vocational subjects. At the close of then high school courses, they must pass the California high school tests. Graduates aver age about 18 years of age. Chemawa has a beautiful campus with 12 or 13 brick buildings including dormi tories, a gymnasium, recrea tion quarters and standard halls and buildings for class room instruction. Several of the young wom en are living in Medford, and three in Ashland. Helen Hood lives with Mr. and Mrs. Ben Trowbridge, and daughter, Pamela, 1625 East Main street, and Lilly Eda Charley with Dr. and Mrs. William J. Miller and five children on Queen Anne avenue. Dr. and Mrs. Malcolm By ers recently took into their home a graduate by the name of Georgia Ann Becenti, and another recent arrival is Anna Rose Joe, who is with Dr. and Mrs. Lawrence Ellis, 28 East over terrace, and their family.

Ladies 3 $088 Eight-Hour Day For Homemaker Said Sufficient Grand Rapids, Mich A career-girl housewife says women's work should be done in just eight hours. "Stick to an eight-hour day. Allow time for outside inter ests. You owe it to your hus band to be more interesting," said Betty Bissell, who runs a home and helps her hus band in his carpet-sweeper manufacturing business. Mrs. Bissell recently wrote a booklet called "The Eight- Hour Day for Women." "Too many women let themselves go once they get married," she said. "Becom ing domesticated is a normal procedure for women. But if you have a good brain, don't waste it. "A woman is interesting be cause she has many interests. This is a greater challenge to a housewife because she isn't out in the world for her job. She's at home with four walls and four children." To avoid stagnation and boredom, get out of the house more ofteh, she advised. Or ganize your day, leaving time for coffee breaks. Play music while you work. Always try to look your prettiest when you do the most unglamorous chores. "But most important al ways make your schedule a breakable one," she added.
