I believe it is worth 1t.
I can think Of no disadvan-
tages in using an electric range.
When you purchase your cleo

electric company may also help
you decide which make" or
model to buy. Or you may be
interested in reading latest
Consumers Union Reports on
various makes of ranges.
If you call your electric COM

OF course. you probably know
that you must have a 220-volts
service outlet available to oper-
ate the range.
One advantage for a gas
stove is that it costs less to
purchase. incidentally. I was
told by a gas clothes-dryer

using a gas dryer, and that
this doesn't happen with an

.Soys Electric Cooking
is Cooler. Cleaner

Mrs. p. L. F., Alexandria
Dear Mrs. G. L. p. of Hy-
attsville: I would advise buy
ing an electric rather than a
gas range. The most outstand-
ing advantage OF electric cook
ing is a clean kitchen. You will
not have an oily film on Vene-
tian blinds. refrigerator and
cupboards to collect dust. Your
kitchen will be cooler. as well.
You have the exact tempera-
ture for all heating units,
which is especially necessary
for baking. There are no
fumes. 1t is less dangerous, and
it broils more quickly than gas
the food is better, too.
Some models have the auto
matte oven timer that starts
and stops oven-cookipg while
you are away from home: also,
q timed outlet so that you can
have freshly made coffee wait
ing for you when you awake
in the morning. COR you can
plug in your radio and wake
up to music.)
Electric ranges have high.
medium and low heat for sur
face units and certain coils
supply different heats for large
OF small pans. A double boiler
is not necessary on an electric
stove, and the surface unit is
easy to clean.
The operating cost depends
upon the gas and electricity
rates in your community and
also on the number of kilo-
watts you are now using each
month. Knowing this, your
electric company can give you
q good estimate Of the addi-
tional cost Of using an electric
stove. In many cases, 1t is
cheaper than natural gas, and
IL definitely cheaper than bot

I am a Hoosier from Marion,

Muncie. You win find, first Of

gets very cold with plenty Of
ice and snow in the winter,
and very hot in summer, espe-
cially during July and August.
I haven't been back In the
summertime for q few years

seasons.
Muncie is growing and has
smaller homes than those here.
We had relatives living there
and often visited. I found the
people very friendly. Muncie
has very good schools and nice
parks. The shopping center

stores, but prices are about

I think they have buses instead
OF street cars. It is O factory

north Of Indianapolis. The
land is fiat, with long stretches
Of good highways (making
travel fast), which people from
this part Of the country find
tiresome. But I love 1t be-
cause I was brought up with
1t. It doesn't take long to get
from one town to another-all
small places, but pretty active.
Our relatives have moved from
Muncie to Indianapolis. I
don't know the population-it
was about $4,000 and is proba-
bly, more now.
They do have rather severe
thunder storms In summer.
but those are what cool It

cool breezes at night. It isn't

Brings Lively Comment
Mrs. q. F., Washington

Mrs. q. F., washington
In reply to Mrs. J. A. Of Sill
yer Spring: You have aired
your views on baby sitting;
now let me speak my mind.
Adult baby sitters are the
most underpaid workers In the
country. They aren't even pro-
vided for by Social Security.
Would you be a servant and
nurse for so cents an hour?
I'll bet that you would not.
Even q maid receives Sc a day
and carfare. Yet you expect q
sitter to do her work and be q
child nurse for IS cents an
hourl
A baby sitter has to be q
child nurse, a diplomat. a refe-
rec, q firefighter, psychologist
and an acting mother, all
rolled up in one.
You say we just sit. Indeed,
that's what we do very little OF.
AS a rule. the children must be
entertained from the time
mother leaves until they close
their eyes. The baby sitter
may have to read stories to
them until her throat aches or
