MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Or. Military Service Good For Women, Says Novelist Br GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor New York (CPU Military service should be just as much a part of a girl's growing up as her first lipstick and first formal gown, says a young Israeli soldier and novelist. Yael D a y a n, pronounced Yah-ale Die-yun, is the daugh ter of Moshe Dayan, former commander in chief of the Israeli Army, and of Ruth Dyan head of Maskit, the country's home crafts pro gram. She spent two years in the service after the 1956 Suez crisis and became the young est lieutenant in the Israeli army. Still in the reserve corps, she said that military training helps a girl's personality and boosts her patriotism. And learning to shoulder a gun does not necessarily make a girl any less feminine. -"I'm for anything which will increase any young per son's interest in his or her country," said the 20-year-old brunette beauty. "The mili tary taught me to worry less about me and more about my nation." Learned To Share -"It taught me to share. To know more about people. I learned discipline . . . when I'm at home now, I make my own bed. ."And I can shoot a gun. ."I do not think that mili tary training makes a girl any less feminine," she continued, in an interview. "It might bring out masculine traits which are already there in some women. But a girl who is all female is not affected. "If anything, it enhances femininity. You're awfully glad to get into a cocktail dress and some perfume after you've spent two years in a uniform." The Israeli girl sol dier wears trousers, not skirts as U. S. women in uniform. She said Israel is the only nation which has compulsory military service for its wom en. Every able woman under 33 must serve two years. She indicated that American wom en especially could benefit Woman Marine Coming Thursday : Marine Sgt. Carolyn S.

"They take too much for granted," she said. "You think twice when you have learned to throw a live hand grenade." Here To Plug Novel The writer, who first tour ed the United States in 1956 to help sell Israeli war bonds, is on her second visit to pub licize her controversial novel, "New Face in the Mirror," just published by World here. It already has appeared in several European countries and created quite a contro versy in her homeland, be cause the book describes the un-inhibited love life of an Israeli girl soldier. Some scandalized Israelis noted re semblances between the fic tional heroine and the author. But Miss Dayan said the book is not autobiographical. "Of course " she explained, "it is difficult to separate the real from the fictional, but the leading character is very much exaggerated.

A Woman's Busy Mind Sometimes, Plays Tricks! A woman's mind is like a clock with wheels and cogs going all different directions at the same time. No prof es- s ion on earth requires such diversity of thoughts as does that ot home- making. It ex tends from psy chology to sweeping, from reading poetry so repairing light plugs, from dig ging tulips to disciplining chil dren. And this all goes on at the same time! its tittle wonder the cogs sometimes get mixed up. This morning at Alice Jameson's over hot scones and coffee, we got to talking about such times. Joyce Brandley started it off by tell ing that yesterday morning when she went out to burn the trash, she set her plastic waste basket down into the incinerator and calmly set fire to the papers inside. It wasn't until afternoon she realized she'd burned op the waste basket. Carina's most foolish expe rience was a little different She'd been reading a book over her lunch (she'd fed the boys and sent them out), and when she cleared the table, she cleared the book up right along with the dishes and dropped them all in soapy suds to soak. ...

State College Herbarium Catalogues 100,000th Plant Corvallis - The 100,000th flowering plant has been cat alogued in the Oregon State college herbarium, bringing the total collection past the 144,000 mark. Besides the 100,000 differ ent flowering plants, 44,000 Vacuum Cleaner Top-Shape Tips In OSC Bulletin Corvallis-Now's the time to get your vacuum cleaner in good ' running order, as fall house - cleaning chores lurk right around the corner. Bernice Strawn, extension home economist, at Oregon State college, says that poor running vacuum cleaners cause wear and tear on rugs and can quickly sap homemak ers energy. Check the bag, belt and brush now, she ad vises, so they're in top shape in the weeks ahead. If your cleaner has a dis posable bag, replace or empty for reuse long before it's full. For cleaners without disposa ble bags, Miss Strawn recom mends that they be emptied after each heavy use. When dust is left in the bag, the pores of the bag get clogged and choke the cleaner so that the homemaker has to do more pushing and pulling to pick up dirt. In upright Cleaners, protect the belt from becoming nick ed, stretched or cut. Do not pick up sharp, hard objects such as bobbypins, tacks and toothpicks. Brushes wear down gradu ally with use. If they wear so short that the bristles don't touch the carpet, threads and other soil will Tbe missed. Re place with new brushes or ad just old ones to touch the rug. Don t run the vacuum cleaner over the cord as wires may eventually break inside. Wind the cleaner cord loosely around the machine "for stor ing. , - More information about ways upright and tank ma chines "clean" and tips on buying vacuum cleaners are available m a bulletin offered through the college bulletin clerk or county extension of fices.

Herbarium specimens are mainly used for teaching and research, but ranchers, nur serymen and garden' club members also make use of the herbarium to identifv weeds, poisonous plants, na tive flowering plants and orn amentals. It is also used by 4-H clubs, Camp Fire groups, Boy Scouts and others interested in be- coming acquainted with plants. Dr. Helen M. Gilkey, emer itus curator, said the herbar ium is located in one of the most favorable areas of the United States for original and constructive plant classifica tion research. Much of the great Pacific Northwest is virgin territory when it comes to plant classification work. All Native Plants Miss La Rea J. Dennis, act ing curator, said the herbar ium aims to gather as com plete a representation as pos sible of aU native and intro duced plants of the North west. Since most of this country's weeds and poisonous plants are "transported" from other areas, the herbarium" also has plant collections from other continents. Largest foreign collections are from Europe . and Australia. The 100,000th specimen cat aloged is scientifically-named Clarkia pulchella. Its common name is large - flowered Clarkia. It was collected near the Warm Springs Indian Res ervation by Dr. Gilkey and Dr. A. N. Steward, herbarium curator for the past eight years who died this June. Alphabetically, the first na tive species of Oregon in the herbarium is Abronia acuta lata, a purple-flowered sand verbena of the coast. The last is Zostera marina, the so called eel-grass which is seen draped in green ribbon-like streamers on the rocks ex posed at low tide along the beaches.
