Main and Bartlett Streets MAIL TRIBUNE, Mrffera, Or. Thursday, Aug. 27, 19S9 Sew With Wool Week Announced; Contest Planned Salem Young women of Oregon were urged by Gov ernor Mark O. Hatfield today to apply their dressmaking talents to wool and, win for this state the top honors in the national "Make It Your self With Wool" contest. The contest received the governor's endorsement in a proclamation setting aside Monday to Saturday next week as "Make It Yourself With Wool Week." He called upon educators and merchants to take part in the week's ob servance and encourage girls to enter the contest. The purpose of the contest, which is endorsed by the Na tional Education association, is to give incentive to girls to sew with wool so that they may become experienced with the fabric - with its varieties, its characteristics, and with the easiest and best techniques for cutting, sewing, shaping and pressing wool garments. All entrants receive free book lets on how to sew with wool. The contest is open to girls between the age of 14 and 22 who may enter either a wool dress, suit, coat or ensemble which they make themselves. Awards include scholarships, sewing machines, and for two grand prize winners, a trip to the fashion capitals of Europe. The Oregon "Make It Your self With Wool" contest, which is sponsored by the state's wool producers, is un der the direction of Mrs. Av erill Hansen of Route 1, Junc tion City. Girls may obtain contest information and entry blanks from her, from their home economics instructors, or from their local fabrics retailers. Top Oregon winners in last year's state finals held in Portland were Sherrie Fraser of Moro who won with a black and turquoise wool ensemble and Mary Jane Wait of Rick reall, who entered a muted brown wool suit. The state fi nals this year will be held in Portland on November 6. National finals will take place next January in San Antonio, Texas.

The lunch is set for 2:30 p.m, Don't Miss These Buys! $7190 For an hour or so last night we tried to decide what it would be like to set forth in a strange, large city in a foreign country, with almost no knowledge of the local language and to deliberately try to get lost. We decided it would probably depend upon the city. If the city was Paris or Rome, we'd probably think it was high adventure; if it was Moscow or some other Russian city, we might be a little apprehensive; if it was a large city in one of the Oriental countries, we'd be downright frightened. And don't ask why, because we aren't sure why. All this supposing came about because we read in the New York Times about the kind of questions Russians are asking the guides at the current United States exhibit in Moscow, and this brought to mind a speech which Idaho's Gov. Robert Smylie made in Portland a couple of weeks ago. Governor Smylie was one of nine U. S. governors sent on a tour of Russia not long ago, and he told how the men took turns "losing themselves." Seems the men had hardly arrived in Russia before they decided that most Americans are grossly ignorant about that country. "Never again will I willingly be as ignorant about another country," said Governor Smylie solemnly. Apparently the nine governors believed they would be "watched" that they would not be free to go where they wanted to go, and do what they wanted to do. This proved to be wrong, and the men proved it wrong in their own way. They took turns at leaving their guides and tours and going off by themselves. Governor Smylie said a few times he left his hotel in the middle of the night, and just explored until three Americans at length concluded that they were not being watched or followed, and reported that their presence didn't even seem to interest the Russians. All eventually would find their way back to their hotel without trouble, even though none spoke more than a few words of Russian they had learned after the tour started. The men also went to Russia believing that the secret police in that country spied on citizens. They returned home believing that they were wrong in this idea, too. They also thought that the Russians feel themselves to be oppressed, and deprived, and that they, are unhappy. They decided this wasn't true. Governor Smylie said that after travelling 13,000 mijes in all parts of Russia during 21 days he came to the conclusion that the Russians are rea sonably happy, that they seem to believe their system of Beef Listed as (The following guide to the nation's best food buys for the week ending August 29 was prepared for United Press International by the U.

H EXPENSIVE SHOPPINGS Buffalo, N.Y.-fl!PD-A couple of pounds of bacon, a pound of ground beef, two cans of tomato juice and a can of liquid detergent cost Edward C. Laufer $50, and it wasn't because of inflation. That's how much he was fined on a petit larceny charge after police found the goods inside his pocket following a visit to a market where he'd also bought-but paid for-a case of beer. The 55-year-old Lauf er had $177 on his person at the time. AGAIN PLEASE?

Russians criticize the political system and its leaders, they make jokes and tell funny stories some very pointed about their leaders and in many ways talk and act about their government much as Americans do, the Idaho governor said. What Americans must remember, he said, is that' even though the Russians have less freedom than the citizens of the United States, it is more than they ever had before; if they have a poorer standard of living than ours, it is still far better than the average Russian ever had before and the Russians are convinced it will improve. Russian clothing is unattractive and high in price, he said, and few Russian families own their own homes or have an entire house to themselves. Eight-story apartment houses, all looking alike, are common, he said, and added that the Russian technique for building homes is poor. On the other hand, he described their airlines as "splendid." The American governors restored, but as museums and not as present-day places of worship. Russians are not forbidden to attend church, but it is considered "not very smart" to do so, he said. He said the pressure of propaganda is evident, and noted that Com munist leaders are now stressing that Peter the Great was once a working man. Governor Smylie said he ances in 21 days, notwithstanding that he had successfully resisted his wife's efforts to get him to a ballet performance in this country. He said he was intensely interested and entertained by these performances, particularly in one city. In Moscow he had been told by , many persons that the ballet performances in this border city were "out of this world" and the Americans found it so. The Governor said most American cities would ban such a program. He stressed that the Russian culture, especially as it pertains to the dance, is much older and more a part of the people than in this country and reflects the diverse nature of the Russians. Russians have a keen sense Popoff, is probably the greatest humorist of all times, the Idaho man ventured to say. Governor Smyle said he ' as much civic pride as the Russians; the streets are very clean and laws concerning use of public property do not have to be enforced - the people obey them as a matter of civic pride, he said. The governor believes Russian schools are over-estimated, and added that they are too Russian care of the mentally ill appears to be superior to that of this country, he added, and said the patient load is only 25 or 30 per doctor. He added "the same-things that drive people crazy in crazy in Moscow, USSR." Other observations by the governor were: I never saw a computing machine anywhere; apparently they give no heed to cost accounting; workers retire at 60 with all health and medical services free; the atmosphere of terror seems to be gone." Governor Smylie said Russians are now working and driving themselves as settlers did in the United States in pioneer days and added "the tempo of effort is tremendous. They are a proud, ambitious and hard-working people. They have a completely planned economy which is unbelievable to the average American. I still believe our system is the best." Idaho's governor is a forceful, interesting speaker and in the closing moments of his talk he became emotional with his effort to make his audience understand what he had learned about this nation which so many Americans fear. 'The Russian challenge to America is in the market place and not the battlefield." he maintain our posture of" defense, and not let them mis calculate our devotion to democracy, but on the other hand, we must not forget that it is petitive and still remain friends, as we do among ourselves in this country.
