peaker Says
an for Widowhood Years
Portland "Women today
can count on spending about
16 years in widowhood, and
would do well to plan in ad
vance for these years alone,"
Mrs- Roberta Frasier, family
life specialist, Oregon State
College Extension service, told
homemakers today at the Na
tional Home Demonstration
council meeting. The group is
holding its 23rd annual meet
ing in Portland.
Mrs. Frasier advised women
to develop interests and hob
bies outside the home, learn
to do more "on her own," un
derstand family business, and
consider what will be done
with the family home when
alone." .
. OSC's ' home economist also
pointed out that the first years
of marriage are not the most
blissful. Forty-one per cent of
all divorces occur during these,
first' years, she said. Mrs. Fra
sier encouraged meetings for
young marrieds to help iron
out some of these early mar
riage difficulties.
Mrs. Frasier also reported a
U. S. department of agricul
ture survey which showed
that 77 per cent of women in
extension clubs received satis
factions from motherhood, but
more than ;. half , were "con
cerned", when it came to rais
ing their families.
Discipline, social relation
ships, emotional problems,
routine care, and individual
differences among, children
puzzled mothers, in the sur
vey. .
Homemakers from 41 states
and Puerto Rico are attending
the council meeting. Conven
tion headquarters are at the
MultnomahJ-iotel, with gener
al sessions at the Civic Audi
torium. Purpose of the national
home economics meeting is to
develop some of the programs
carried out as community pro
jects in local home' extension
clubs. These include programs
in safety, civil defense, citizen
ship, international relations,
publicity,- family life, and
health.
. The "work crew" for the
meeting is made up of Ore

Teacher in Eagle Point
Reports on Yugoslav Trip
Eagle Point - The people
of Yugoslavia extended a
hearty welcome to Mrs. Don
ald McGovern of Eagle Point
on her recent trip there, she
reports. Mrs. McGovern spent
five weeks vacationing with
relatives last summer.
-Mrs. McGovern, who was
taught the Serbian language
by her father, a native of that
section of Europe who came
to this country to live at the
age of 18, found that speak
ing tne language made hj
visit much more successful.
Mrs." McGovern went by
air from Seattle direct to
London "by the Polar route,
with a refuel stop at- Fro
bisher bay. She reports that
the temperature there never
rises above 42 degrees. While
in London Mrs. McGovern re
newed acquaintances . with
friends sha and her husband
made a year ago on their tour
of Europe, a Yugoslavian
refugee family. ,
In Paris the traveler, board
ed the Yugoslavian Air lines
plane and mi.de stops in Mu
nich, Frankfort and Vienna
before being met by relatives
at Zagreb where she made
her headquarters while in
Yugoslavia.
Mrs. McGovern spent quite
some time in Belgrade, the
capital, and in various other
sections of the country. She
also spent a week on an.
island with a cousin and his
family and attended a na
tional folk dancing festival.
The people, of each section
of Yugoslavia have a tradi
tional costume which is worn
only for special ; occasions
such as festivals, and , it is
Dossible to tell what section
the wearer is from by his
clothing. V
Mrs. McGovern's hostess
teaches school, and since the
Eagle Point woman is also a
teacher, they compared notes
nn their profession . and dis
covered that the subject mat
ter taught is very much the
same in both countries
The children of Yugoslavia
have the opportunity of select
ing one of four foreign lan
guages, of which . English is
one, when they reach tha age
of 10 years. Teacher's wages
average about $25 a month,
Mrs. McGovern learned, and
they teach in one five-hour
shift a day.. ,
Mrs. McGovern reports that
throughout her entire visit
and her travels she found he
people very friendly and anx
ious to learn more of the
American way of living.
Everyone has radios, but very
few television sets and cars
are owned by the average
family, she said.
Soccer was one of the fa
vorite seasonal games at the
time Mrs. McGovern was in
Yugoslavia, and occupies the
interest of the people much
as football does at this time

here, she reported.
The Eagle Point teacher
took pictures during : her
travels, and also brought back
souvenirs among which are
a pair of -shoes, a coffee mill,
coffee pot and some Turkish
coffee beans. Yugoslavians
buy their coffee beans green,
roast the beans themselv' s
and grind them in small hand-
operated mills. The pulverized
coffee is then placed in a pot
with water and brought to a
boil. It is served in tiny cups,
smaller than a demi-tasse cup,
and is sipped very slowly due
to its strong flavor. .. ;
Mrs. McGovern made the
return trip by way of New
York and Portland, Ore.
