K J 'Ids ml Social Events Survey Being Conducted Among Inactive Nurses In an effort to increase the, nurses in all types of commu- nurse supply in Oregon a sur vey Is now being conducted locally and in other areas of the state to learn how many inactive professional nurses could return to part or full time work. Questionnaires about their availability have been mailed to 1,200 nurses who are currently registered but who are not actively prac ticing nursing. The Oregon survey, a part of a nationwide program, is being directed by the division of nursing of the U. S. public health service, department of health, education and wel fare, and the Oregon slate board of nursing as a means of helping meet the growing shortage of nurses in active practice. In a letter to the inactive registered nurses, Miss Donna M. Monkman, executive secre tary of the Oregon board, and Miss Margaret C, Arnstcin, chief, division of nursing, USPHS, point out the need for such information in plan ning to meet the increasing demands for professional Ashland Club Accepts Three New Members Ashland - Initiated Into membership at the Monday afternoon meeting of Ashland Study club were Mrs. Ralph Burgess, Mrs. M. L. Lancaster and Mrs. H. F. Jenkins. Mrs. R. Drew Lamb, presi dent of the club, was hostess and at the conclusion of the program refreshments were served by the program com mittee, Mrs. Faith McCul lough, Mrs. Len Osgood and Mrs. Will Dodge. Autumn col ors prevailed in table and room decoratons. Klondike Kate" by Ellis Lucia was reviewed by Mrs. N. H. Dillon, who added some interesting personal observa tions about the Alaska gold country and certain of the characters Included in the life story of Kate Rockwell, the eastern girl who became legend of the wild north- land. Known for her generosity, Kate befriended many a sour dough. Her fatal attraction re sulted in numerous marriages and many broken hearts and heads. Excitement surround ed this strange woman from a wilful girlhood In old age when she died a few years ago in Oregon. "Life in the United States" was chosen by Mrs. Ruth Dews for her selected sub ject. In three separate essays the American scene is describ ed to illustrate ut. recognized Joys of the simple life. Nos talgic memories are stirred by the sound of the whistle of the evening train or gar den fragrances. She illustrat ed her talk with appropriate pictures of Ashland s old pteam engine, of snow-capped Grizzly peak and of her rose garden in full bloom.

The other states are South Dakota, New Mexico, Wiscon sin, Mississippi and Rhode Is land. When the survey was car ried out in 1961 in several other states, from 73 to 88 per cent of the registered in active nurses reported their availability status and their reasons for not being actively engaged in nursing. ThreeR's Now Four, Russian New York - IUPII - In many U. S. elementary schools, the traditional three R's have been supplemented by a fourth Russian. Russian courses rate fourth in the language study lineup in elementary schools in a I960 survey made by the Modern Language Association of America, of foreign lan guage teaching in grade schools. A previous survey, in 1954, didn't turn up a single grade school teaching Russian, al though John Harmon, a spokesman for MLA, said the 1954 study was not quite so "exhaustive" as the '60 one. The percentage of elemen tary schools teaching Russian still is small, compared with the number offering Spanish French and German num bers one, two and three in the curriculum. Spanish Popular MLA said Spanish was be lug taught in 50 slates, at the time of the last survey, with 485,825 elementary pupils en rolled. French was taught in 45 slates, with 184,651 pupils; German, in 31 states, with 17,535 pupils; Russian in 19 states, with 1,384 pupils; Italian, in fifth place, in sev en states with 1,188 pupils, and Latin sixth in 12 stales with 844 pupils. The Increase in Ihe study of Russian at the grade level -usually taught in seventh and cighl grades, goes along with an increase in foreign language study in general not only from kindergarten through Ihe eight grades but at all levels of formal educa tion, said Donald A. Walsh, director of MLA's foreign lan guage research center in New York. Needs Greater "As our world shrinks, lan guage study expands, said Walsh in an interview. "We need better to com municate with our friends and enemies . . . need to learn the Language before we blow each other up," he added wryly. As for teaching language at the grade level, this is not new. The Cleveland school system, for one, has been do ing it for ages . . . some school systems started it at the turn of the century. "But its gotten the big push, shown the big increase in the HMO's and l!)50's." Walsh gave two major rea son for the expansion. One is tin influence of world events. The other is the belief now among most educators that the grade school age is t lac ideal lime lo start a foreign language. I Women's News . ji ... n ii. ill If .

The estimate came from Ab bott Barrett, association presi dent, when the industry held its annual mid-year Irade show in New York, Barrett said the '62 estimale is based on a survey of members, some of whom reported their busi ness already up as much as 50 per cent over 1961. Changes in fashion and their effect at the notion and nov elty counters set Ihe theme for the show. The revival of west ern-style dress, from low slung jeans through calico blouses and bandana scarves, was reflected in such home sewing accessories as rick- rack braid and siring lies. Whim Department The Cleopatra took was cil- cd for its effect on hair groom ing aids. And from the teen agers, olten the first lo slart 1 fad, came such things as ad justable metal headbands with gold, pearl or bead insets.

But the scores of household chemicals on the cleaning shelf bring many questions to our Extension Service offices. We often call on OSU chemists to provide the answers. "Is there danger in mixing liquid chlorine bleach and household ammonia?" Chemists say no, if handled carefully. By this, they mean to dilute the bleach as it should be in washing clothes. They do caution, however, to avoid mixing bleach or other household cleaners as a regu lar practice. Chlorine fumes which might be given off in small amounts, are so irritat ing to your nose and throat that you'll be heading for fresh air before you've breathed enough to be harm ful. You'll not need to worry if you use reasonable care. Keep chemicals away from children and follow directions on the bottles. When is the best time to add bleach to the washer? If you use liquid chlorine bleach, the answer is about three minutes after the clothes have started agitating in the detergent suds. Recent research shows that this timing gives the whitest clothes. The reason is this. The detergent contains a brightener which needs a few minutes to fix itself lo the fabric. The bleach would interfere with this chemical action. When the bleach (di luted, of course) is added later, you get full benefit of the brightener and of the whitening power of the bleach. "Our refrigerator has a bad odor. No amount of wash ing. with soda water seems to do any good. What can be done?" Here again, chemists came to the rescue. Mrs. Hammond Reports on Sixth Assembly Mrs. P.

Get activated charcoal at the drug store. You won't need much about three ounces is plenty. This is a fine powder which you can spread in a thin layer on a sheet of aluminum foil or a shallow pan on the refrigera tor shelf. The charcoal will "soak up" the odor. Foods can remain on the refrigera tor shelf with the charcoal. After six or eight hours, put the pan of charcoal in a moderate oven to drive off the odor and "reactivate" it. (Don't worry, odor will not stay in your oven.) Put char coal back in the refrigerator again until all odor has dis appeared. Save the charcoal you can use it over and over again. Smart Homemakers Tell Us: Save time and temper when you vacuum throw rugs with this quick trick. Run the vacuum cleaner diagonally over small rugs. This will keep the edges from being drawn into the nozzle and the rug will stay flat on the floor. Throw rugs that skid often cause accidents which could lay you up for days or even weeks. If your rugs are laid over smooth flooring, use double sided masking tape as a tem porary but effective measure. Smooth the tape along the underside of the rugs edges, then lay the rug with the tape in contact with the floor. This works beautifully. And don't worry if some adhesive slicks to the floor. It will come off with usual cleaning methods. Another way is to use a special powder available in hardware stores or depart ment stores. When sprinkled on the floor under the rug, there is less chance of slippage. Arrangements To.
