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. Several noted that the

Ruch, SPring 3-5008.
Employed
parents disagreed over the
mother working and that it
had created real family prob
lems. 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.

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

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. It will also deal with the
