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.

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

government Is a reasonably good one and that they aren't
in any particular hurry to change it.
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

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.

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

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
