New York-flJPB-It's a wom an's privilege to change her mind-about her job. Yet. one study of femi nine stability shows we are not as fickle as some bosses would have you believe. This study was made by "Today's' Sec retary," a mag- Gay Pauley . azine, for the business girl, which will pub lish the results in its June issue. More than half of its continuing panel of 750 white collar girls said that they had been punching the same time clock for at least five years. Thirty per cent had changed jobs only once during the five year period. But the remain ing 20 per cent had switched positions more frequently and gave reasons ranging from "the boss barrier" to a candid "I was fired." ; Money Main Reason , The wanderers listed lack of advancement, unsatisfac tory salary and unpleasant of fice conditions among reasons for straying. They were look ing for great job opportunity and more responsibility. ; ."I now work longer hours, have less vacation and drive 30 miles a day," said one sec retary. "But I realize I am an important part of this organi zation and am contributing to its growth." I just wasn't kept busy enough at my former, job," said another. "I was afraid that laziness would become a habit." And a third secretary said she now has a boss "who re spects my mind." Only nine per cent of the panel listed Success apron!

I love him," said one legal sec retary who has held her job well beyond the five years. "Oh don't misunderstand," she added, "I love him as a boss only. He's a married man with seven children." . Changes Mostly Successful Almost all of the women who had made j6b changes recently said they had found what they were looking for. Few had left the old job un der unpleasant circumstances; most agreed their bosses were happy, to have them find bet ter positions. However, a' few said, as did one panelist, "we both cried." Those who stayed gave a variety of reasons from "en joying the work" to "earning a good salary." Incidentally, more placed pleasure in the work above the pay check in reasons for staying. A few confessed "lack of initiative to change jobs"; others said "relocating after you're 40 is difficult." - Not - air the . explanations were orthodox.

That' the word from a brand-new (Webster's) dic tionary. This marks the first time a dictionary has not at tempted to prescribe one cor rect way of pronunciation. It is based on actual word usage by educated Americans. Teen Age Girls Say Slang Left For Beatnik Use By MARY PRIME United Press International New York, June 7 - (DPD -Adults who try to talk the teen-age lingo can relax. The teens are leaving slang to the beatniks. That's the word from eight teen-aged girls visiting New York from across the United States. "Slang is dying. Kids only talk that way in junior high school or the movies," said Kathie Lee Mary, 16, of Oak land, Calif. The most we say is 'sharp. We're trying to act more grown up and use bigger words," she added. Slang is almost non-exis tent in Hawaii. "The nearest we come to it is Hawaiian, I guess," said Noelani For sythe, 17, formerly of Hono lulu, now of Chevy Chase, Md. - Some Remains Anyone who wants to en rich his vocabulary still has few slang expressions o draw from, however. For example: "Grubby"-everything bad. "Potty"-also bad. "If I want your opinion, I'll rattle your cage." Swinger"-anyone who is someone. Six of the girls are winners m a iasmon council competi tion sponsored by a national magazine (Seventeen). They are Jill Jacobs, 15, of Chi- Miss Sacramento's Career Aided by Beauty Contest Sacramento, Calif. (DPD When Patricia Williams was an unknown secretarial stu dent, she said she thought the most important thing needed to launch a singing career was "a break."

Miss Williams, a favorite with the audience at the Miss Sacramento contest from the beginning, . broke up the talent part of the show sing ing a Lena Home-like version of "Lover, Come Back to Me." After the contest was over, she admitted she hadn't prac ticed that number at all. But she discovered the night of the contest that the orchestra had no arrangement for the song she had originally plan ned to . present. So she was forced to arrange a substitute. Like many popular singers, Pat admitted that "I can't read lick of music." To Study Music' She intends to use a scholar ship which she received as a prize in the contest to attend a music school and "learn what I am singing.". The 18-y e a r-old beauty graduated from Grant High school near here last year. She was selected the school's bas ketball queen, an honor which also had been given to her sister two years earlier. Pat said she decided to enter the contest as a lark. She went into' her bathroom and put on a bathing suit and looked at herself in a mirror. Then, she said, she asked her family if she should try for the title and they told her she "had nothing to lose." Surprised to Win "But we never though I'd win,' 'she said. Pat's singing career began in the high school choir. Later she became a member of an all-girl quartet and then be came a soloist. "Hove to entertain in front of people," she said, explain ing why she would like to make a career of singing. "But I, don't think I would .really like the life,, of a singer." , Miss Williams was born in Louisiana but her family family moved to California when she was five years old. She says she has little mem ory of her life in the South. Shewill compete in June for the Miss California title. f m &hs New! Long, slim panels-in spired by the Oriental style so popular now.

THURSDAY & FRIDAY . featuring Mr. Wes Pearson, carpet authority and Bigelow mill representative ' . "What's New in Bifeew Carpets and Hew to Uit Them" FACT ABOUT A PRICE TAG Year-around air condition ing systems today cost, about one-third of what they did 12 years ago. In view of talk about upward trends of living costs, this seems hard to be lieve. According to Harold Massey, managing director of the Gas Appliance Manufac turers association, the cost of air conditioning a new house can be included in the mort gage. It adds only a few dol lars to the monthly payments for round-the-calendar com fort, and assures the added ad vantage of increasing the re sale value of the home. Sounding -Boards New York (DPD When re hearsing, an aria, Jan Peerce, Metropolitan Opera tenor, treads on bare floors in his living room, entrance hall, dining room and practice room. The reason is two-fold: Mrs. Peerce thinks bflre floors are the most elegant of all when properly maintained; second they give her husband's voice the true tonal quality he re quires.

Do not place the pans on the upper rack directly over those on the lower rack, they say. Also, to maintain even circulation of heat, keep at least two inches clearance around each pan.
