Virginia P. - So what? I f make up lor it in other ways. & . . , ?. Murray P. - A man can take iust so much of sloppy house 1 keeping; We've been married I seven years and have a 3-year- : old son. At first I enjoyed the 1 way Ginny and I dashed out . ol the nouse to see a movie ': , or to greet friends arriving at Idlewiid. "Obey tnat impulse was her slogan. It was so dif- V ferent from my mother's way , , , that I was fascinated. : But we're older now. Gin- ! ny's 29 and ought to stop kick- i Ing things under the bed be fore company comes. She might wash out a few cups i and saucers during the day, ; instead of taking a fresh set ti every time she wants a cup of -; coffee. Things pile up. You v should see the mess that greets V me. ;a ' When the baby came, she f stocked up on gadgets - all sorts of choppers, peelers. mashers. Are they ever used? Of course not. We're all eat- . ' ing out of jars, cans, cartons f and packages - provided 1 re- J mind Ginny that there's noth- i ing left and it's time to mar- .4 " ket. .3 She's a cheerful, bright , woman, and a devoted mother v . to Randy. With such wonder ful qualities, why can't she sober up and act her age when 7. it comes to running a home ; . properly? She just doesn't care to. '..' Virginia P. - If it were up to Murray, I'd be like his mother and have a broom or a .;' - spoon In my hand all day. He knew what a dim view I took of those Sunday dinners that i took three hours to make, two hours to eat, and three more to clean up after. I thought ' ' I'd convinced him that a TV dinner, plus a Sunday outing, is a far better idea. . Okay, so I'm a poor house i keeper. Why keep arguing about it? You'd think Murray 5 ' would accept the fact that 'ti things lying around don't ti bother me the way they bother 1 him, and that he'd pick them up himself instead of deliver- ing pep talks to me all the i time. j I can't shine on all fronts. He admits I keep our little ' boy in good shape and spirits, j ,; , 1 in also the secretary of our family "society," a job which keeps me busy planning fam ily meetings four times a year, and, along with Murray, I'm. active in Masonic activities, i : It's about time he stopped s trying to reform imo. i The Council Perhaps to im press upon Murray that she's at the opposite pole from his mother, Virginia is leaning so far backwards that she. re- i sembles her mother-in-law in rigidity! Refusing to budge from her extremely lacka- : daislcal position, she's as blind : to the happy medium as the most obsessive dust-chaser, r . . In Murray's behalf, we re : i mind Virginia that there is an irreducible minimum of s -, housework required in every ifl . homo, in the interests of sanl- v tatlon as well as sanity. ! ;, Real freedom to do interest- k Ing, exciting, creative things, f : Virginia, springs from an or- ii dcrly way of life. With the physical "essentials", out of t: the way, all attention can be ? directed to the jaunts, adven tures and enrichments you wish for. But leaving and re- is; turning to mounds of filth, ' i and lists of unattended-to er- i- rands, is dispiriting and dts- ' trading. Usually it all but 4 nullifies the buoyant effect It. -. of the "stolen" escapade. I. But from Virginia's corner, . we'd have Murray see the job of Housewife as the hardest '" in the world: It's so complex ' that sociologists now view It r, as a profession, requiring long training plus a "flair." V So, with three changes, - namely Virginia's acceptance if, of responsibility for a smooth- V. ly - running home, Murray's forbearance and good-natured I: assistance, and as many elec- trie labor-saving devices as the i traffic will bear, the P. house 's: hold can turn Into a full- ii fledged home. I Basically, Virginia is an i ideal homemakcr, for she has 1 the warmth and graclousness ! - which can turn even a hovel into a cozy shelter. All she must remember from now on, however, is to add a few flicks of a dust-mop to her friendly ministrations, j Cooking and cleaning for one's family are, in one sense, as much a part of love as hugging and kissing.

Sandy Saver Says: Shop the thrifty way in 1961 with GOLD BOND STAMPS You Fill Books Faster at Safeway By Lynn W. Wctkins (Itttisttr & Tribune Syndicate, 1961) How to Display a Porpoise: First, You Catch Him We, who planned on t h e capture of live porpoises for later public display, were se verely handicapped; the ani mals we were after were about as intelligent as we. In fact, in their own environment they were even smarter. . Another handicap we were harnessed with was our af fection for these animals; if there was the slightest possi bility of Inflicting physical discomfort on them, we were determined to abandon the en tire procedure. Easiest Way And, of course, being typi cally human and, we hoped, modern, we also wanted to complete the capture in the easiest possible way - so we made plans. "Very simple," many fishermen and water front advisers told us. "Sim ply catch the porpoises up a narrow-mouthed creek or in let, block the entrance with a boat or two and wait for the ebb tide." Sounded sim ple, so we tried it. The porpoises seemed to know what we were trying to do before we had the boat blockade in place. But to al low our human ego to fully blossom, they respectfully waited for us. The tide ebbed. With smug satisfaction and our built-in human conceit in tact, we waited, boats in place. There were two porpoises up the creek. We watched them come toward us, not fast but just cruising along at a comfortable speed. We smiled in satisfied optimism. Human like, we were about to dem onstrate again our superior in telligence over the lower beasts. ' The two animals arrived at a point a few feet from the boat barricade, came quickly up from a dive and sailed through the air in a graceful arch over the boats; flipped their tails disdainfully and plowed away toward the hori zon. The "very simple trick" had failed. Like Steel Trap More conferences, more plans, more advice from those who were still uninformed. Tail clamps" were hard to come by, so we had a set made; two large padded Jaws, I triggered In between with a I metal plate and held together with a strong spring like a steel trap, only larger, and without pain to the animal caused by iron jaws. , Getting close to the animals at sea was easy; we could ap proach within a few feet of the friendly things. The "tall clamp" was clumsy, and we were forever getting tangled in the long rope that was af fixed to it. , Resetting the jaws of the gadget one afternoon, shortly after we had unsuccessfully latched onto a porpoise tail, our attention was attracted by two large porpoises a couple of hundred feet off the port bow, standing on their tails, their bodies hanging in the air. They were watching us. Suddenly we got the mes sage; they were outsmarting us; they were figuring out the program. To them we prob ably looked pretty silly. Some how, what someone once said when they observed, "If the porpoises had been endowed by Nature with an opposable thumb they would have ruled the seas" took on a new meaning. Water Supply in Slate Unimproved ; Portland - IUPD - Oregon's 1961 water supply outlook for the spring and summer months has not improved dur ing the past month and now ranges from only "fair" to 'very poor ' according to : Snow Survey Supervisor W. T. Frost. Reservoir storage is less than last year and only about two-thirds of average. Water content of the moun tain snowpack in Oregon is low this year and now aver ages only 46 per cent of the 1943-57 February 1 average. The Willamette watershed has the poorest snow cover and is only 27 per cent of average, Frost said. Ownership of Radios Increases 98 Per Cent New York - IUPD - The total number of radio sets owned by Americans in 1960 jumped 98 per cent over 1949, a re cent study by Radio Advertis ing Bureau, Inc., noted. Sales of radio sets have al m o s t doubled, rising from 10.5 million in 1949 to more than 18 million in 1959. London-llJPD-Asked how the filming of "Cleopatra" was proceeding, Hollywood film mogul Spyros Skouras re plied: "We are making won derful progress it is jus', that we haven't started yel." 1
