"he's wonderful. I don't
Ipvrr what we could do with

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.

more than a year ago, and

ed wage, given certain hours
and days for "time off" and
the standard two weeks vaca
tion with pay.
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.

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.
