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-

Bristol. :
Tip for T-Shirts
If you are troubled with
excessive shrinkage of some
T-shirts after laundering, take
a good look at the construc
tion of the shirt. 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.

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."
