' Mixed Reactions Result When Mothers Corvallis - A survey made by an Oregon State College professor of family life on the feeling students have-or had about their mothers working outside lie home shows widely-mixed reactions but with about 60 per cent voicing ap proval. Keys to a happy working- mother home seem to be ad vance planning and " under standing of the changes to come in family routine and in individual responsibilities and recognition by the children of the benefits and problems in volved, according to Dr. Les ter A. Kirkendall. Dr. Kirkendall has collect ed autobiographical state ments from students in his past six years. While some students have expressed bit ter disappointment and re sentment over their mothers working during the time they were in grade and high school, most point to the ben efits received or the need for working and looked with fa vor on the situation. Families Disagree Attitude of-and adjustment of-the parents toward the mother working is obviously sensed by the children and reflected in their opinions and reflected in their opin ions and feelings, Kirkendall said.

These disagreements were then reflected in disap proving attitudes on the part of the children. Having the youngsters share mere in family respon sibilities while the mother was away was felt by a good- sized group to have brought a feeling of greater family unity. Many students in this group said their college edu cation had depended on the mother working. Where working was seem ingly used as an "excuse" for fleeing from housework, children reported resentment and a feeling1 of being im posed upon when they were asked to do the same work. For families where the mother is going to work in the future. Dr. Kirkendall has this advice. Expect and make changes in family routines; things can't go on the same way with the mother out of the house hold. Get prepared for the change and anticipate what it's to mean to Dad's sched ule (he doubtless will need to take more home responsibili ty) and to the youngsters. There are problems involved, but also benefits and these should be understood.

(UPI Telephoto) Women's News o Social Events Sculptor - Writer Creates Hand - Painted Dinner Menus By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor New York-(UPD-It was only natural that this age of spe cialization should produce a spec ialist in menu making. Barbara Sei ger, a 31-year-old sculptor, collector, and a d v e r tising copy writer, created a fourth role for LI herself after Gav Paniey oneofherown dinner parties. She served up a fancy-dress menu, hand let tered and painted, along with food to each guest. Friends expressed admiration, began asking for original menus lor their own gatherings and four months ago, Mrs. Seiger went into business. Since, she has planned the food, dug into history and lit erature for unusual comments on same, and in association with another artist, Charles Eichen, painted menus for a variety of special occasions. Menus With Personality Eddie Bracken, the actor, gave a stag party at his Dari en, Conn., home for a young bachelor about to wed, and Mrs. Seiger used the "Young Lochinvar out of the West" theme. This included "dead or alive steak, tough and or nery," and "brandy or other choice liqueurs to soothe the raging beast." A cat owner whose pet died held a "mock wake" din ner party and Mrs. Seiger opened the menu with a quote from Charles Lamb that "anything awful makes me laugh. I misbehaved once at a funeral." Mrs. Seiger books her menu orders through the Brown stone Agency, where she works, or through the Soup con, a specialty food and table Since 129 SO CENTRAL SPECIAL mm WITH EVERY WATCH REPAIR ORDER JOB.

Interest in food comes nat ural to the slim dark-eyed brunette who is married to Marvin Seiger, a teacher of speech and drama at Hunter College.- Her father owned a restau rant chain in Atlantic City, N.J., where she was born, and eventually expanded to Flor ida and California. Mrs. Seiger said most of her customers have firm ideas as to what they want to serve, but are looking for help on making the rest of the meal unique. She tries to work menus around a hostess' par ticular interest or hobby, and fits the art to the color scheme of the dining room andor the hostess' dress. "One women wanted opu lence because the menu was to be 'all fat'-she was fed up with her friends' constant talking of dieting." The meal led off with "minestrone, accompanied by noodles and assorted pasta: ravioli, stuffed with meat or cheese, spaghetti garnished with oil and garlic and a hint of clams; red wine, intermis sion between mouthfuls; green health-giving lettuce excused by rich cheese dressing and heavily-caloried black olives; "French bread a la garlic, soaks up the sauce and adds a pound; coffee with a dollop of whipped cream; chocolate cake, iced and stuffed with ice cream . . . pocket sized fudge for the trip home." Mrs. Seiger said she didn't try to make an exact count on the calories but the total must have been "astronomical."

Interim Education Committee's Work Explained for PTA Council State Representative Eve lyn S. Nye reported on the work of the Legislative Com m i 1 1 e e on Education at a meeting of the Jackson Coun ty Council of Parents and Teachers held Wednesday, at the Presbyterian Church at Phoenix. Mrs. Nye explained that this committee was set up to make a comprehensive study of financing public ed ucation in Oregon and of the quality of education, includ ing administrative methods utilized by local school dis tricts. All 13 members of this committee are charged with the responsibility of studying school financing, and seven of them also are studying quality of education. Mrs. Nye is chairman of that sub committee. She said it was felt the study on quality was a necessary tie-in with the tudy of financing so that "in going to the people of Oregon we should first be able to say this is the pro gram we have or can offer with this financing that the taxpayers are actually get ting a dollar's worth of ser vice for their tax dollar." Methods Outlined The speaker outlined the two methods by which the "quality" research is being handled. One is by a ques tionnaire and the other is by personal interviews. The) schools have been chosen at random throughout the state and comprise 50 first-class districts. The questionnaire covers such topics as recruit ment of teachers, assignment of teachers, salaries, extra duties, contracts, and the pol icies on leaves of absence and sick leave. The interviews in clude actually attending and examining the class program, the curriculum and the qual ity of it. Quality is an intan gible item but the research is being Gone objectively, Mrs. Nye said Representative Nye stated that although the complexi ties of the school finance pro gram have caused some con flicts in the state, the job of the interim committee is to determine school costs and try to find out what can be done to support good schools. She explained that we can not any longer depend upon the property tax, that there has to be an assessment that could be kept uniform. There fore, the finance report will contain a review of various factors which have influenced school costs, such as popula tion increase, increase in cost of living and construction costs, changes in personal in come in Oregon, changes in school programs such as ad ditional programs for mental ly retarded, drivers' training, etc., changes in teachers' sal aries, and the increases in the total cost of supporting edu cation.
