Women's News Social Events Psychologists Analyze Making, Eating of Bread By JEANNE LESEM United Press International New York-fUPD-An isolation booth-dining room may be come man's last refuge from motivation researchers. Breaking bread with other hungry souls makes you a sitting duck these days for psychologists and sociologists. Bread itself is not immune from analysis. It has become a "slightly immoral" food, a symbol of "selfish indulg ence," according to a speak er at a meal honoring the grand champion sandwich maker of 1959, Laura B. Hale of Tulsa, Okla. Miss Hale, who at 80 years still works a 5-day week as a YWCA cafeteria cashier checker, won the sandwich queen title with a triple decker filled with avocado, sour cream, ham, eggs, cream cheese and chives. The con test is sponsored, annually by the National Restaurant Asso ciation and the Wheat Flour Institute of Chicago. In this sandwich context, bread presumably is free from the taint of immorality, pro vided sandwiches are eaten on informal occasions, such Woman's Editor Relates $aga of Kentucky Ham a, 1 &i4r& f "IMS fa Z Bv GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor New York -IUPD- This is the 4 - i r , 1 I story of one nam-oi me edi iag variety, and of one worn- li's struggle with, and victory rer, 20 pounds of meat and -"m, bone. Tt. all heean with a Christ mas gift from my sister in Kentucky - a state famous for its beauti ful horses, beautiful women, bour- G.y Pauley b O n, blue- grass, and of course old fash ioned cured hams. It all ended on my dinner table this week. ijBut it was in the in-between Which nearly turned me into a jjeaten biscuit. I, who in all modesty, claim to have no trouble with Hollandaise saace which baffles many a eadk: I, creator of souffles WSich never fail; I, who can twrn out a beef stroganoff to ph?ase the palate of a czar, if afty were left. The challenge of cooking a Kentucky-cured ham in a New York apartment though was a ork apartment though was a new one. I checked every one of the general cookbooks I ojvn; and, every ex-Kentuck-ian in New York I know. The cnsensus was: There is no slfort cut to cooking the long cgres. Tftke Your Time &The generally recommend e3 method: Soak the ham covered with water for 24 hours. Then boil, covered with water, for five or six hours. Then peel off the tough outer skin, glaze as you would a tenderized ham, and bake ag usual. I Now, this would be no prob lem in kitchens our mothers and grandmothers used. They had space. My kitchen meas ures about six by eight feet, if you use an elastic yardstick. ,,They had utensils large efibugh to cook the whole Kpg, if necessary. The biggest pan. -with cover I owned was the pressure cooker. As a modern-method cook, roasting al ways has been with slow heat and open pan. I tried to borrow from neighbors. No pots large enough. Finally, the ham spent that 24 houres soaking in the deep half of the kitchen sink. That problem was solv ed. Now, where to boil? The ham was too large for the scrub pail, even if it was cleaned and given a foil cover. Inspiration. There was that 14-gallon garbage pail parked outside the service entrance. Most Unusual Pot Fairly new pail, too, and kept lined with a paper sack. Good, tight-fitting lid. Well, inside came the pail and into the bathtub it went for cleaning and scalding. And before you could say Ken tucky Derby, that ham was simmering away in the strangest looking pot ever to grace the top of a range. I didn't bother to check wheth er a galvanized surface is as safe for cooking as aluminum or enamel. By this time, I didn't care. - Once simmered, peeled and j glazed, my utensil problems were over-the ham fitted just barely onto the largest roast ing pan I owned. Later, when a clove-studed, mustard and vinegar-glazed ham emerged from the oven, I wondered whether all the effort was worth !it. Then, a paper-thin And another.' It was.

FOR EASIER PAINTING Midland, Mich. -(LTD Fol low a rule of thumb when painting a room. Do "cutting in" first With a small brush, apply a narrow strip of paint along ceiling line, corners and woodwork. Then do the ceiling and walls, and finally,. th-trinu as picnics or parties. Market researcher Paul A. Fine explained that when "we eat sandwiches with our fin gers there is a symbol of a relaxation of formality which society permits on special oc casions." . It was not always so. Fine, an executive of The Center for Research in Marketing, Inc., claimed that food - and particularly breadstuffs, cak es and other wheat products -is viewed today in a frame work of chemistry, emphasiz ing nutritional and calorie content rather than human values. This led, he explained, to a reversal of the old-fashioned attitude linking bread-eating with obedience and self-discipline. "Eat some bread with your meat. It's good for you," was a line parents once used to point out to their small fry the "down-to-earth, ordinary, solid, virtuous" side of eat ing. Bread-making, he added, symbolizes love, care and so cial purpose. And packaging that emphasizes old-fashioned personal care sells more bread than a wrapper that points primarily to chemical and nutritional content. j-. s"'v ' ; Householders' Problems Solved By National Home Owners Clubs Paris French Princess Francoise De Bourbon Parma, 28. a descendant of King Louis XIV of France, is shown in her bridal veil and tiara prior to her marriage here.

(UPI Telephoto) Moscow Becoming More Like West By ALINE MOSBY United Press International Moscow-flJPD-Revolution! Women's shoes with heels just as stiletto-spiked and toes just as pointed as in the United States have appeared in a shop window in Moscow. You even can buy an eyelash curler, of all things, for 15 rubles at sidewalk stands on Gorky Street. Beatniks with beards and tapered trousers were seen in the Arogvy restau rant the other night . . . and a home-made red sports car is racing around town. in short, Moscow is becom- By MARGUERITE DAVIS - United Press International Chicago -(UPD- The caller's voice quavered as she tele phoned her problem to the Detroit Home Owners club: "There are bats in my base ment. Please help me." There was nothing in the club's 400 household services about the disposal of bats, but the management was deter mined not to disappoint a member. Al Schonweter, the club's founder, armed himself with a baseball bat. Ernest Curtis, club president, grabbed a tennis racket. The two sped to the rescue. In Newark, N.J., a house wife stepped outside to pick up the morning paper, and her front door slammed shut. Inside was the key and her 14-month-old baby. The fran tic mother telephoned the New York Home Owners club, and within seven min utes a locksmith arrived to open the door. Similar clubs are operating in a dozen other cities, serv ing an estimated 10,000 mem bers of the National Home Owners club. Officials predict the membership will number in the millions within five years. Home owners spend more than seven billion dollars a year on repairs and mainten ance, Schonweter said, and more than 16 billion for re modeling and modernizing. In most cases they are at the mercy of the men who do the work. Schonweter said he realiz ed that after three contractors submitted bids, varying by as much as S2.000, to convert a section of his basement into a family room. He huddled with his friend Curtis, and togeth er they evolved the idea of the club. Costs S12 a Year Home owners and apart ment dwellers were offered memberships at $12 a year. If the washing machine breaks in the middle of the Monday wash, or the televis ion set goes on the fritz, or a new garage is planned, mem bers just telephone the club. The nearest expert in the in dicated field will be sent to do the job. Members are billed month ly for work done, and the tradesmen pay a percentage of their collections to the club. The mass membership and the profitable business it promises serve as a lever to keep the tradesmen eager to do good work, Curtis said. The householder is assured of prompt service, good work in a n s h i p and reasonable charges. A national advertising agency (Bozell and Jacobs, Inc.) heard about the club, in vestigated, and liked what it saw. Club Goes National How about setting it up as a national organization, ad man Nate Jacobs inquired, and franchising reputable per sons to establish similar clubs in other cities? Schonweter and Curtis approved. The national organization began operations at Chicago in February with Jacobs as president. Within three months, it had issued fran chises for clubs in New York, Hartford, Conn., Baltimore, India napolis, Shreveport, Houston, Kansas City, Oma ha, Minneapolis, Seattle, Bev erly Hills, Calif., and Wash ington. Club presidents pay $6,000 a year for franchises to oper ate, a fee which includes training at club headquarters and on-the-scene counseling by an executive of the nation al club. Californians Here To Visit Relatives Mrs. Viola Milner and son, Donald Pettit, Comptonville, Calif., have arrived to visit Mrs. Milner's mother, Mrs. Lydia Betz, Camp Baker road.

Donald Pettit, an airman first class in the United States Air Force, is to report soon for duty in Japan. We Give GREEN STAMPS CENTRAL REXALL DRUG Main and Central ing Westernized. In fact, it's getting downright jazzy. The proud Russians talk in circles to deny the trend. But nonetheless Moscow is slowly but preceptibly changing, and this once sealed, mysterious semi- Oriental "forbidden" city may some day have much in common with capitals of Western countries, for better or worse. "Our women never will wear such shoes-they don't have feet shaped like that," one Russian husband explain ed, pointing at my pointedi toe shoes when I arrived in Moscow a few months ago.

' the big department store on Red Square, has women crowded around it six deep these days. In the window are elegant shoes - blue, pink, sleek, black, glittering bro cades. Only on Order When you inquire inside, the shoes are "made only to order, at 400 rubles (tourist exchange is 10 rubles to the dollar) up," the salesgirl says. But ' at least they're in the window, and Russian-made. And even those shoes Soviet women are buying eagerly on the ready-to-wear shelves at $30 have reasonably narrow heels and slightly pointed toes, quite a change from the usual square, heavily solid footwear. There are so many holes in the "curtain" these days that the long arm of "American ization" can be found in the hotels, and the shops, even on the radio. You can buy soft drinks and cigarettes at side walk vending machines Jazz, once frowned upon, is played in most of the hotel dining rooms. It sounds a little 1930 ish, but getting better all the time. Some of the orchestra vocalists even croon popular American songs such as "Au tumn Leaves" in English. Play U.S. Tunes Moscow Radio has played the album of "West Side Story," complete with a sum mary of the plot in Russian, twice recently. The score of "My Fair Lady" is another startler you can hear sandwiched between the usual setting up exercises and newscasts relating suc cesses of the seven-year plan. Now that consumer goods are becoming moge plentiful, stores are "dressing" their windows. Blown-up photo graphs of pretty girls, dum mies with elaborate wigs, at tractive displays of Russian perfumes and lingerie are changing the sidewalk scene. But the ultimate of ' the "new look" in the Soviet capi tal was found in one store window on a side street. It is fashionable for Moscow women to be plump. But there on sale for 30 rubles was a pair of East German-made white lace "falsies."
