Last night thousands of weary housewives were thank ful that Thanksgiving was over. They were thoroughly tired as a result of having cleaned the house in preparation for the holiday, from preparing the big dinner and cleaning up the kitchen afterwards. Perhaps then they will be In the right mood to listen to one Carl Sundberg, industrial designer living in Detroit. Housewives, he declares, can cut their working time In half if they follow his advice. To achieve greater freedom from house chores, Mr, Sund berg suggests that the women should: Spray floors, rugs, walls, furniture, fixtures and drap eries with an anti-static aerosal compound that makes them inhospitable to dust and grime. Decorate the living room with plastic-coated upholstery fabrics and synthetic-fiber floor coverings. Advantages: They resist stain and wipe clean with a damp cloth. Rid kitchen of cooking odors before smells Invade other rooms by using a modern oxy-catalyst which purifies air. e Cut down on dishwashing by using modern stove-to- table, flame resistant utensils of earthenware, enameled metal or stainless steel. Use as many disposable items as possible. Example: Throw-away ash trays, hot pads, hot-drink paper cups and one-use foil cooking pans. Use permanent plastic shelf and drawer liners which are easily and quickly cleaned. e Relieve rough cleaning chores, like scouring the oven, by using modern chemicals which take the place of elbow grease. e Keep foods from sticking to pans, without greasing, by coating pans with new silicone-based liquids. This coating lasts through many washings. e Install a combination washer-dryer on the second floor of your home, rather than in the basement. With the laundry center close to bedrooms, where soiled linens originate, you'll cut needless stair climbing. That's concerning the here and now. Within the next few years, the designer said, robots will take over much more of the housewife's chores. "The kitchen," he said, "is likely to disappear. Food will be prepared at the table by means of self-energizing utensils. "You will see further evolution of our present electric fry pans, griddles, rotisseries, but so designed that they con stitute an elegant table service of carefully matched units each housed in its own storage cabinet. "Cooking with these units will have all the ceremony of a fashionable Parisian restaurant or a Japanese home with all the appetitite-arousing ritual that this implies right at the table." Mr. Sundberg isn't just being kind to the American wom an, either. He says it s in the best Interests of the entire nation to relieve women of household drudgery. , "America can no longer afford to squander the creative talent of our womanhood on dull, repetitive tasks in homes," said this interesting man. "To hold our own with Russia, where half ,the scientific students are women, the American woman must be freed to use her qualities of perserverance, manual dexterity and meticulous attention to detail for creative ends." Just in 'case anyone is interested, Potpourri is thankful today that our broken bone Is a little one in the foot. Instead of a more important one in the leg, for Instance. Even so, we'll be even more thankful when it is completely mended and we are rid of the yards of tape and bandages which now encumber us. A couple of days ago, as we grumbled over the fact that the bandages don't exactly make us look smart and well-groomed, Pappy came up with a brilliant idea., "Why don't you decorate the whole thing with sequins and glitter?" he suggested. "Sequins are very fashionable right now." O.S. Why, When, How Survey Conducted on Clothing By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor New York - IUPII - The dress Industry, turning a three-wny mirror on us women shoppers, finds that some of us se lect clothes to please men and some of us to impress other women. The percent ages of each are so close that were it Oay Pauler a race 1 b e- twecn two politicians, the loser could demand a recount. In what was billed as the "first comprehensive research project to determine why, when and how women buy clothing." . the researchers found that 44 per cent of us women choose clothes to please men, 42 per cent to please other women; 13 per cent considered neither, and one per cent said both men and women were considered. Study Continues The continuing study is un derwritten by Andrew Arkln, head of a firm which calls it self the nation's largest manu facturer of better dresses. Ar kln hired the Furst Survey Research ccrtter to do the sluriy, which he said he first planned to use to further his own business. Then he de cided the. findings were "too unlversaly important to the in dustry to keep them to my self." The first set of findings re ported there are 65 million women over 14 to do dress buying. Some 89 per cent of the total own 7.3 daytime dresses each. The average working wo man owns 8.1 daytime dress es, spending for each an av erage of $13.43. The non working woman owns 7.1 day time dresses, each of which costs her $11.36. Advertising Influential Newspaper advertising has. proved to be a strong influ ence in feminine purchasing. Asked when they first saw the style of a dress desired, 27 per cent said in a newspa per or magazine. Fifty-two per cent said on dress racks A mere two per cent had seen it worn by a friend - a per ccntage small enough to in dicate most of us women would rather not meet our selves on the street. In shopping, 68 per cent of the women preferred to "browse alone" on first enter ing a dress department; 63 per cent preferred to continue their browsing alone when they got to the actual stock But by the time they got around to trying on, more than half wanted sales help Sixteen per cent didn't want help even then. More than half the custom ers were concerned first with style, , but the researchers found a high percentage con sidered workmanship and de tail more important than fab ric or color. Most women spent just about what they had planned to spend. Forty-nine per cent depended on buying at regu lar prices, but 42 per i cent watched for sales. Those who preferred to shop at regular prices listed a variety of reasons - "Never find what I want at sales . Have more choice at regular prices . . . No time to shop for bargains . . . Don't enjoy fighting crowds , , . Hard to find my size." The researchers asked wo men their emotional reaction to buying an expensive dress. Seventy-two per cent were "happy." Sixty-one per cent also thought the purchase "Justified." Thirteen per cent felt "guilty." t For the woman who . has everything but the perfect figure, measure carefully the amount of conventional salad dressings and rich cream sauces used every day and replace them with bottled low-calorie French or Italian- style dressings on salads, in meat mixtures, and in hors d'oeuvre fixings.

UFD When Jimmy reaches over and dips his sister's pony tail into the ink, he may be expressing deep affection and respect, a home economics professor at the University of Texas be lieves. Phyllis L. Richards, who makes her observations of children at the university's nursery school says that fight ing among children may be signs of growth as well signs of emotional outlets. "Arguing between brothers and sisters even may be a sign of respect and deep affec tion," she said. "A chfld may regard his brother's opinions so highly that he wants the brother to agree with him, even if he has to knock him down to make him agree.' She said that only when the fighting becomes extreme should parents be concerned. "Youngsters when they bicker are experimenting with each other's reactions, seeing how much they can get away with," she said. If the bickering is con stant, parents should bring some arbitration into play, she added.
