2 MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford. Oregon, Friday, November 7, 1958 Executive Has New Ideas On "Wife Integration" Y4C Br GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Ediior New Yor k (tPI) So you wives think you are hubby 'a helpmate in business as well as at home? Well, take a closer look at the way you play the role. As one execu tive has put it, "The hand that frocks the ! c r a d 1 e also Ln?ican rock, the Cy Pauley boat." it takes some doing to be the ideal wife for the man who wants to succeed. But Lee H. Bristol Jr., an executive with the Bristol-Meyers drug and toiletries firm, questions whether business itself and its advisors, the management consultants and sociologists isn't putting too much stress on "the new togetherness," on "wife integration . Bristol brought this whole matter up this week, in a talk before a "ladies' night" meet ing of the New Brunswick, N-J, Chamber of Commerce. His ideas deserve to be heard by wives and their husbands elsewhere Bristol pointed out what many a woman already knows that some companies today won't hire a man until his missus has passed muster with the screening committee The wife, as Bristol sees her, "is a bigamist, married to her husband ' and her husband s company." Baled on Chic The screeners rate her on chic, take a look at the type of books she reads, study how she "fts in," even convince her that the names on - her Christmas, card list . are im portant to her husband's job. "Some of the sociologists make one see business today as a huge, open-jawed whale," said Bristol. "The husband and wife are walking hand in hand into that gaping mouth they might describe this picture as the 'new together ness'." "Rubbish," said Bristol. "No," he added, "I am not so Victorian as to suggest that a woman's place is only in the home. But it would take a lot to convince me that her place is putting sugar in her hus band's coffee during the executive committee coffee break." What type of woman does he see as the ideal wife of the businessman? "She is not a meddler," said Bristol. "As Jack Benny warned, 'Stop helping already!," Here, he added the observation of a business as sociate, that "the hand that rocks the cradle also can rock the boat." Not a Gossip i The ideal business wife is not a gossip. She does not be tray business confidences. She is a good listener. 'She recognizes her role as the one dependable sounding board her husband has," said Bris tol. "With her, there is no need to fear being quoted, misquoted or misinterpreted by others." She is a good manager with out talking about it. His laun dry is back in time for him to catch the plane; his suit is pressed before he decides to wear it. She keeps informed. "She will warft to be the interest ed wife," said Bristol. "Re member the time Mrs. Elea nor Roosevelt told a repor ter, "I don't pretend to be a brilliant woman, but I want certainly to be an interested woman'," And she is a good compan- U 3 ' YV EASIER . . .

Recent re search indicates that shirts knitted with loops that are slightly wider than they are long shrink less than those knitted "with long loops. Cot ton knits should be dried at medium or low -temperature in the gas clothes dryer and removed .from the dryer be fore thoroughly dry. Warden Speaks On Conservation For Camp Fire "Conservation in the past, as applied to natural re sources, meant to preserve, to withhold from use, to save for future generations, to safe guard against wasteful exploi tation, to prevent devastation, or to set apart for restorative treatment. With the passing of time, conservation has de veloped a broader scope and more purposeful meaning and application. Now it has come to mean wise use, purposeful development, orderly han dling, efficient management, prudent planning, and in many cases integrated admin istration of all natural re sources." . These were the words of Curtis Nesheim, district war den of the Southwest Oregon district of the Department of Forestry fo Camp Fire lead ers, assistants, and other in terested members of the Rogue Camp Fire Girls coun cil. The occasion was the "kick-off of the Camp Fire Girls golden jubilee project whose theme is "The World Around Her -She Cares -Do You?" Camp Fire Girls from coast to coast will participate in the service project of con servation. Mr. Nesheim listed the prin cipal fields of conservation as forest, scenery, wildlife, wa ter, mineral, and soil, and ex plained how each affected the other. He spoke of the rap idly growing population and the need of earnest effort to meet future timber demands. "Meeting these needs will re quire not only early action, but an intensity of forest prac tices much higher than those of t o d a y," he explained. "What we do in the next 10 or 20 years may well deter mine whether we shall grow enough timber to enable our children and their children to enjoy the timber abundance that we know now." Mr. Nesheim commented on the theme of the golden jubilee project and promised the support and cooperation of the Department of Forestry. . . f Dancing Class For Beginners Opening Tonight A beginners square dance class will be held at the Bell view Grange hall in Ashland starting at 8 o'clock tonight.

Rudolf Bing, notified Miss Callas by telegram of her dis charge for refusing to live up to the terms of her con tract for appearances in New York in January and Febru ary. He said she was undoubt edly one of "the outstanding artists of the world," that he was glad to have been able to present her at the Met for two. seasons, and "grateful" to be rid of her. "Cannot Switch Voices" Miss Callas-no stranger to public hassles with operatic managements - received the news a few hours before she was to go on stage in the title role of the evil enchantress "Medea," with the Dallas Civic Opera association. A spokesman said she was too upset to talk and a police guard was thrown around her dressing room at the State Fair Music hall. But New York opera critics managed to reach her by telephone. Miss Callas told one of them she "cannot switch voices like an elevator" to fulfill Bine's scheduling of two performances of "La Traviata" between two per formances of "Macbeth," all during a 20-day period. Bing said Miss Callas had agreed to the scheduling when the contract was signed and agam when she visited him last month en route to Dallas. He said she had also turned down his suggestion that she substitute "Lucia di Lammer- moor or another opera tor La Traviata." Miss Callas claimed her "Macbeth" role was so heavy that she needed at least eight days to "retrain" her voice for the' lighter roles sug gested. Had Other Disputes Bing said there had been considerable back and 'forth between him and Miss Callas over the scheduling and that he finally advised her that if he had not heard from her by 10 pjn. Thursday he would consider the contract canceled. Miss Callas was quoted as saying she was too busy re hearsing tor "Meaea to re ply by that time and anyway she didn't like "ultimatums. The fiery star, whose dra matic interpretations of her grand opera roles has won the acclaim of critics and audiences across the world, has been embroiled m pre vious disputes, and firings, on two continents. She has engaged in a run ning feud with La Scala in Milan: she broke with a Chi cago opera company in 1955; walked out on a Rome audi ence that included Italian President Giovanni Gronchi in mid-performance last Janu ary, (setting off a hot Italian brawl) and broke with the San Francisco Opepa company last year when she failed to appear, an action which the American Guild of Variety Artists ruled was "not wholly justified." 1 Master Point Play CoHducted Twelve tables of players took part in the monthly master point play of Medford Duplicate Bridge club held Tuesday night at Girls Com munity club.
