If the water rose too fast or too much they would be In trouble, but that was a chance they had to lake. Concerned, too, are the peo ple of the great swamp - the Seminolcs who, like the les ser beings of th.j great grassy 3ea, live with hurricanes. They make few preparations for the storm s arrival, but they Hre conscious of its com ing. They could predict juat when the rain would pound the hardest, and when the wind would blow the strongest. They would look frequent ly at the high-flying, ragged clouds and measure the tim. They would scarcely be ap prehensive, but concerned with wind direction and near ness. .

Washington - IIIPli - What do working wives do about getting their own household duties done? This is one of the questions the Agriculture Department is seeking answers to in its studies of job related expen ditures and management prac tices of working wives, it found some of the answers In two urban studies - one in Jour Georgia cities and the other in one city in Ohio. The studies were conducted by the agency's consumer and food economies research di vision. Four Kinds of Tasks The women who took part In the studies reported on their use during a year of paid help for four kinds of household tasks: laundry work, general housework, child care and sewing. Laundry work included washing andor ironing done by paid workers in the home, as well as that sent out to a laundress or commercial laundry. Child care included care at home andor away, except nursing care, institu tional care and special train ing. The paid services reported by individual women varied from a few hours or days to year-round service, costing from a few dollars to several hundred a year. Here are some of the find ings from the Georgia and Ohio surveys: Employed wives used more paid services for house hold tasks than the non-employed wives, bo;h in Georgia and Ohio. The women who were most likely to use paid serv ices, and who spent the most for it were the gainfully em ployed wives who were moth ers of pre-school children. The Georgia wives, em ployed and non-employed, used more paid service than Ohio wives. Moreover, these wives spent more for help than their Ohio counterparts with one exception the employed mothers of pre school children, who spent slightly less. In families made up en tirely of adults or with old er children only (6 to 7 years) even the full time homemakers in Georgia were more likely to have some paid help than the job - holding wives of Ohio. Having a job increased the percentage of wives using paid help for homemaking tasks relatively more in Ohio than in Georgia. In Ohio the proportion reporting help was about two thirds high er for employed than for non-employed wives in two types of families and four- fifths higher in one type. In Georgia it was about one fourth higher in two types of families, one third high er in the other. More Georgia than Ohio families used "household help" (workers who go to the employer's home to per form duties). Women willing to hire out as household work ers are more plentiful in the Georgia cities than in Ohio and southern homemakers are more accustomed to this kind of help. Many of the employed mothers who hired a person to come to tile home to care for children enjoyed the added advantage of re ceiving other services from the same worker. In the employed wife families with pre - school chil dren, three out of 10 in Ohio and four out of 10 in Georgia provided some paid care away from home for the youngsters. The non - employed wife fam ilies with pre - school children made little use of away from home care. In general, away - from home laundry services were used more than at-home serv ice. More employed wives re ported paid help for laundry work than for general house work or sewing. This was true in both states. The wives in the studies Bloodmobiie To Visit Area Communities The Red Cross Bloodmobiie will -.isit both Prospect and Rogue River this week. Each town has a quota of 50 pints of blood.
