Spectator Look Is In Handbags in '60 Tha spectator look it In the bag this spring. The spectator style which dominates shoe fashions this spring has also inspired an elegant tailored look in leather handbags to add a finishing touch to a tail ored spring suit. Soft waxy-finished smooth leathers, fine grained leath ers and gleaming crack-proof patent leather are molded into envelope shapes, vertical and horizontal hard - constructed box-bags and satchels. Big Bags For the smart co-ed or over burdened shopper, there are tall tote bags in gralr.ed and smooth leathers. . These are self-standing, with reinforced corners. Many totes feature a handy Care Makes More Light Available Corvallis Lighten the in terior of your home with light-colored paints and clean light fixtures. You'll find re wards in fewer headaches, smaller light bills and more light without extra expense, advises Bernice Strawn, ex tension home management specialist at Oregon State College. Flrpt, she suggests that homemakers wipe dirt from bulbs and fixtures. Oily dusty film which collects on bulbs, diffusion bowls and shades can cheat families out of a fifth to a half of the light nor mally available, she said. To clean, wipe bulbs with a damp cloth. Don't immerse the bulb in water. If the base of the light bulb gets wet, it may loosen from the glass bulb, she cautions. Before cleaning a diffusion bowl, dis connect lamp from the outlet, then remove the bowl. Wash diffusion bowls, glass or plas tic, in warm (not hot) sudsy water. Rinse, and dry inside and out. Check Lamps Check reading lamps for blackened bulbs. A blackened bulb may waste as much as a fourth of the light although it may be good for several hours after it's darkened. Put these bulbs in closets, storage rooms or attics where they are less often used, and put new bulbs in reading lamps. Use of light-colored paints on Inside walls and 'ceilings is another suggestion the 'spe cialist offers to reduce light bills. It's cheaper, Miss Strawn says, to light rooms with light- colored ceilings, walls and floors than rooms decorated with dark colors. Dark colors absorb light and make it ne cessary to step up. the total electricity .used. White or near-white are recommended for ceilings to provide maximum reflection. A dull finish on walls and ceilings encourages more com fortable lighting. Shiny sur faces bounce back with un comfortable glare. The OSC specialist offers this final memo: the cost of good lighting is less than the cost of poor light on the hu man eye.

Finance Good Career For Women United Press International New York-IUPD-One of the best careers for females is in finances, says a lady bank er. Ann Javlts knows whereof she speaks. She is loan man ager and assistant vice-president of the Commercial Bank of North America. 1 The banker, in private life Mrs. Edward Mendelson, wife of a Garden City, N.Y., Jewel er, says that the high school girl hoping for a banking career will do better taking a commercial or general course rather than an academic one. Knowledge, of typing, book keeping, clerical work and the essentials of business pro cedures will help to prepare her for the job. Some knowl edge of business machines, a relatively new factor in bank ing, also will be an asset. Record keeping and filing procedures are two old stand bys of the banking profes sion, she said. The college girl can spe cialize even more in prepar ing for a banking future, "with courses in Investment, eco nomics, statistical research, psychology and public rela tions. Statistical research, for example, is being used more frequently today by banks, psychology is helpful in per sonnel work and public re lations has always welcomed the fairer sex. How does a girl advance in a bank today? That, too, Miss Javlts said, is far easier than even a decade ago. Take ad vantage of the many courses being offered by banks, bank ing associations and financial institutions .to broaden your knowledge and usefulness. Learn as much as you can while you are working, Miss Javits advised. In addition, banks, like oth er companies, -will look for such positive qualities as a girl's attitude toward work situations; how she handles customers, how she gets on with other workers, and last ly, whether she has a genuine interest in the Job. Women have made excep tional strides in achieving ex ecutive positions in banking since 1940. Then, only 3,000 women held officer positions in banks, as against 57,000 male executives. Today there are more than 10,000 women bank executives ' as compared with 84,000 men officers. Miss javits' own career in banking goes back to 1924, when at age 16 she took a Job as secretary to the president, Jacob Leichtman, who still heads Commercial. She be lieves that on one count -the human element-women bankers have it over the men.
