Husbands Should Do
More House Work
New York (TO Pity the
future' husbands of today's
teen-aged girls. Dad's pipe-
- and-slipper comfort will be
only a memory. '
Teen-agers want their hus
bands to do more house work,
-says Lester Rand, president
of the Youth Research Insti
tute, which surveys opinions
'of young Americans.
Most girls don't think men
- should sit around leisurely
while wives put in a 10 to 14
hour day, Rand said.
"The : girls also believe
their mothers made a mistake
. by not putting men in harness
the minute they were mar
ried.-The younger generation
vows it won't repeat this mis
take," he added. ,
Teen -aged boys still are
unsuspecting, said Rand.
"Male teens snicker at mar
. ried friends doing housework.
They believe it can't happen
to them." Wanta bet?

Wool Destroyed
By Moths Would
Dress Millions
Fargo, N J3. (TO Moths de
stroy enough wool each year
to dress approximately one
million persons,, says Julia E.
Brekke, clothing authority. at
the North Dakota Agriculture
college.
However, clothing loss be
cause of hungry moths can
be cut down if you remember
a few pointers listed by the
college .expert.
Clean all woolens before
storing. Moths are not attract
ed to man-made fibers but are
attracted to certain types of
soil, so it's also a good idea
to clean clothes made of syn
thetic fibers.
When storing clothes, fasten
all closings and hang on
sturdy hangers. Bags with
zipper closures are more se
cure. The old standby, moth
balls, along with cakes or
crystals, are the most widely
used preventives, but sprays
also are effective. When using
plastic bags, put the moth
balls or crystals in a thin
cloth bag so they won't touch
the plastic. It's wise to place
the container with moth balls
or crystals at the top of closet
or bag so vapors will filter
down through the garments.

Elk Creek School Cook
Magazine Article Subject
An article in the May issue
of the School Lunch Journal
tells how Mrs. Arlee Damoth
Ragsdale began the school
lunch program in the Elk
Creek schoof 20 years ago
and has been the "guiding
light" ever since. For most of
that period Mrs. Ragsdale has
been the lunch cook.
Mrs. Ragsdale instituted the
program in 1939 when she
was president of the Elk Parent-Teacher
association. The
article recalls that at first
there was Only a stove and
some shelves for equipment,
with n6 refrigerator or cooler.
About 40 children were served
a hot dish with crackers, with
no cost to the children, and
the PTA under - writing the
project.
Later it became necessary
to charge two sents a pupil,
then five and finally ten
cents. At that point the school
board began paying the cook's
salary of $40 a month. When
the Oregon State School
Lunch program was organ
ized, Mrs. Ragsdale took over
the job of preparing the
lunches under the new pro
gram. The article states that both
teachers and principal praise
Mrs. Ragsdale. One teacher
said "Mrs. Ragsdale can
charm the young into eating"
and the principal wrote "Mrs.
Ragsdale serves 110 children
daily with the enthusiasm she
might give to the preparation
of a home dinner. She makes
of it an enjoyable thing."
Mrs. Ragsdale, in turn,
praised the teachers, saying
they create the right .atmos
phere for a successful lunch
program.
Mrs. Ragsdale is president
of the Una B. Inch unit of the
Oregon School Food Service
association. Mrs. Inch, super
visor of rural schools in Jack
son county for many years,
has worked with the schools
I to provide a superior lunch
program in the county. The-
cooks have' had annual con
ferences in the county, and
have attended conferences in
Corvallis. The program has
developed to the point where
a Type A lunch is served in
every school in the county,
and no child is turned away
if he cannot pay.
Working with Mrs. Unch
has been Mrs. Mary Virginia
Wait, dietition and supervisor
of the school lunch program
for Medford schools, and Mrs.
Laura Wells, director of the
Oregon school foods program.
