Apparel, accesso ries and shoes modeled in the show were from Mann's Depart ment store. ected In local or city contests. The contest emphasizes talent and personality, rather than fig ure and beauty. The girls are not allowed to snow in bathing suits. The girls' still managed to show a lot of teen-aged normal cy. Between preliminary events and during breaks in rehearsals they broke for the soft drink and candy vending machines. Soft drinks and candy are poi son to the figures of older en trants in beauty contests. But the teen-agers did not worry UPI asked all the entrants In the contest to fill out question naires about themselves, their lives and their ambitions. Some of their answers sounded as if they put down what they thought they were expected to say. But most sounded like the answers of typical teenagers, They wanted to win because winning would mean a free col lege education or they wanted to be entertainers and winning would oe a leg up.

WORK SMARTER NOT HARDER By BERNICE STRAWN Oregon Stat University The less you have to do, the less time you find to do it in, so we've been told. There's a lot of truth in this too. When you need some one to sit up with a sick friend, it's the widow with six children who takes in washings that finds the time. She probably has a time plan but she doesn't call it that. It's in her head and she expects to get her work done each day. To keep up with a busy holi day season, start now to make a list of extra jobs to be done. Portion them out for the days ahead on a large calendar. Work will get done and you'll save that last minute hectic con fusion. To get more for your money when shopping for meat, con sider cost per serving. Mrs. Velma Seat, OSU Extension Food Marketing Specialist, passes on these tips. What appears to be a bargain may not be one. That's why it's as important to be familiar with the number of servings per pound as to follow retail prices. Cuts vary in the amount of bone, fat and other waste. For instance, you'll get twice as many servings from a pound of boned, fully-cooked ham as from a pound of cook-before-eat- j ing ham with bone. These cuts cost the same per serving when boned cooked ham retails for twice the price of cook-before-eating ham, says Mrs. Seat. If your asphalt, vinyl or lino leum tile floor doesn't shine, the trouble may be with the rinsing. You must rinse thoroughly after sudsing, before applying wax. Floor should also be completely dry before waxing. Detergent or water mixed with wax causes streaks and a dull finish. Most molded plastics are electro-static, which in plain Eng lish means that they act like a magnet and attract dust. You'll not pick up much dust with a dry cloth. Wipe plastics such as the telephone and light fixtures with a damp cloth. Stop Washday Tedium Don't waste time looking for socks, hankies and other small items likely to get lost in the laundry. Home economists with the Gas Appliance Manufac turers Association recommend the use" of a mesh bag for small items. It prevents tangling in the washer, makes small items easire to transfer from washer to dryer and keeps them from getting lost. In Respect to our Late President John F.
