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

"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.

cerning the use of alcohol.
Mr. Howard said that a
reading room for the use of
homeless men is greatly need
ed in Medford, adding that
since there -is no place for
these men to spend their time,
they are apt to frequent bars.

reading room in Athena, Ore.,
which is reportedly well used,
and whicn is kept stocked
with good books and maga
zines. -

Many School Children Wear
Uniforms; Stress Jumper Look
United Press International
More than one out of eight
of the nation's school children
will go to class in uniform this
year. New uniforms stress the
jumper look with a horseshoe
neckline which shows a blouse
front in a variety of colors.
Fabrics are heavy-duty, and
colors are conservative-navy,
maroon, and forest green.
Mother won't be the only
one to wear fur this fall. Real
pelts are shown in coats and
suits for girls from grammar
school to college age. Most of
the fur is not in the luxury
class, however. Raccoon is the
most popular, especially when
teamed with tweed.
Philadelphia designers have
chose an Early American look
for little girls' clothes. There
are Puritan collar, Quaker
surplice bodices, calico prints
with a homespun air, and flag
colors
Look for Continental styling
in boys' clothes. Suits jackets
are rounded,- trousers and
lapels are narrower, cuffs are
shorter. Vests are reversible,
often with one side of paisley,
to match coat linings.
The sweater gets a heavy,
hairy mannish look for fall.
There are heavy brushed wool
and mohair blends, man-tailored
lambswools, heavy
ribbed pullovers, polo pull
overs, and sweaters fashioned
like boys' "letter" styles. Col
ors also are borrowed from
the men-dusky loden, grey,
camel, brown, and charcoal.
Bright colors are ruby and
sapphire. s
Girls still will wear men's
pants on the campus, but this
year the pants are strictly tai
lored. They have elasticized
back tabs, two pockets at side
seams, and Continental front
closings. -Colors include vari

A Woman's Busy Mind

A woman's mind is like a clock
with wheels and cogs going all
different directions at the same
time. No prof es-

that ot home-

tends from psy

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.

But Sally Sheffield, who's so
meticulous, had the funniest ex

ago she took a bottle of orange

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

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.
