JUNE 24. 1960 Women's News Social Events Quads Year Old Today; Mom Too Busy For Party By GAY PAULEY UPI Womin'i Editor , Dobbs Ferry, N.Y.-OJPD-The .Kajouras quadruplets turned ;one year old today without birthday cake but with neigh' .borhood children In to play v. "When you're as busy as I am with four crawling babies. 'there's not much time for planning something special,' aid their happy mother, extremely pretty blonde of 27 years, .t "All I hope for is a day "which goes smoothly, sh iemiled. "We thought we1 "have some of the children droD in. but that's about all ? The quads - Michael, Paul 'Icon and Anthea - were the .first born of Bess and Alex JCajouras. They arrived last June 24 at the U.S. Public .health Service hospital, Sta men Island, N. Y., and stayed Jn an incubator for several TWeeks until each had gotten tip to five pounds All but one, Michael "weighed under four pounds jit birth. Michael, was the last "to arrive and also the heaviest -four pounds, two ounces. Today, to look at the four, 3t is hard to believe that medi cal s c 1 e n c e gives quadrup lets a one in seven million fchance of survival. Four BlHiings ; "When they were born, I Alex and I thought how blessed we were, not once but "four time," she said. "We've "also been blessed with good health for them.' ' "The four have had no se- :rious illness - Just the usual, teething, mumps and chicken- pox, said their mother. All are on Junior baby iood, dine from their high chairs three times a day with Hlamma and Pappa, and have ;)earned to mouth tho word J'Mommy" but not "Daddy." ; "I think It's because 'lommy is such an easy 'sound," said Mrs. Kajouras. The boys range In weight from 20 to 22 pounds each "You don't hold one in each arm for very long now," she feald. The girl, Anthea, weighs 17 pounds, All have the same coloring i-fair hair and blue eyes-but personalities definitely going in four directions. When I visited the Ka jouras' last year shortly after the quads came home, Mich ael even then seemed an out going little fellow. "He still Is," said his mother. "Always mugging it up. He thinks everybody's his friend." Paul is the smallest boy and also the most agile. Leon, -now called Lee, is the quiet one. And the little girl? "She's all bubbly and fem--Inine," said her mother. "Per fectly delighted with her brothers." Lovely Bride's Cake Is Home-Baked It it's to be a small wedding- don't spend any Mm regretting that it can't be a large affair. An intimate wedding can make up in beauty and charming detail any- '. thing it lacks In site. A group of ' relatives and friends sharing the important occasion, a beautiful reception held in the friendly at mosphere of home and a delicious homemade wedding cake decorat ed with dainty fresh flowers, add up to a memorable occasion. This beautiful cake serves 20 to 25 persons.

Mrs. Kajouras said that fi nancing the rearing of the babies still Is their biggest worry - although a diaper service gave them a free sup ply at one time as high as 400 diapers a week for six months; another company of fered a milk formula; Alex won some of the nursery equipment on television shows; their landlord, Robert Merrick, gave them their two bedroom apartment rent free for a year; and well wishers from all over the country sent small donations. Was Law Student The young father was driv ing a truck to help finance night classes at Columbia Uni versity Law school when the quads arrived. Now, he has given up law and Is working trainee with the E. F. Hutton Company, Wall Street stock brokers. 'But we manage," she said cheerfully, "We've Just tight ened our belts. While the babies gain, Alex loses weight. He's a worrier. Me, I go right on . . . strong as a horse." The couple cares for the quads with no help except when relatives can lend a hand. The first time I met Mrs. Kajouras, she had no theories on bringing up babies. "Dr. Spock devotes one chapter to twins," she said. "What help Is that to me?" We worry about seeing that each gets equal atten tion," she said. "We give them lot of love, balanced wltn some firmness. I am not above gentle spank on the bot tom." 'If they ever get out of control," she added suddenly, what would I do?" 1 :amily Visits n Eagle Point Eagle Point-Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Schloffer and their two daughters and son ar rived In Eagle Point last Sun day to spend a few days with Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Peck and family at their farm at Ball Road.

Wilson Suggestion Gold Star Mothers was founded in 1919, went into a lull, and was reactivated in 1937. Its name came from a suggestion of President Wood row Wilson. During and Immediately after World War I, parents who had lost sons wore black bands. The President suggest ed a star instead of the mourn ing band.

Employment Field For Mature Women Said More Difficult New York-UPD-Mature wo men seeking employment will have an increasingly difficult time during the next ten years, says the Institute of Life Insurance. The statement Is based on the Bureau of Labor Statis tics' prediction that during the 1960s there will be a large Increase in the number of young persons seeking jobs. "This increase represents the coming-of-age of children born during the 'baby boom' of World War II and of the postwar years," the Institute said. "In a very real sense, these young persons, just entering what Is called the 'job mar ket,' will be competing with mature women re-entering the same market." The women who prepares herself for a job ahead of time will be in a better posi tion than others who are un prepared, the Institute said.

Expert Describes 'The Open Mind' Ann Arbor-flJPD-The "open mind" has four marks, re ports Dr. Milton Rokeach, professor of psychology at Michigan State University. The four standards of meas urement emerge from labora tory studies Dr. Rokeach con ducted in an effort to work out a practical method of measuring people's "open" or "closed" mindedness. He said that an open-minded person generally is one who: -is not upset by the idea of a major change, and can adjust to changes in life sit uations as these arise; -Is realtively free of pre conceived notions about other people, and can meet, accept or reject them without re gard to their religion, race, social or national origin; -evaluates and reacts to ideas not in terms of who else may be for or against them, but solely in terms of their apparent merit; -approaches people in posi tions of authority without, on the one hand, hostility, bel ligerence or suspicion, and, on the other hand, without the need to conform to what he imagines the "official" po sition to be.
