Busy Home Makers Told To Relax

Hectic Hattie is easily recog-
nized. She is usually a house
wife with toddler underfoot and
perhaps a new occupant in the
nursery. She is always remark
ing, as she removes a wiSp of
hair from eyes and attempts to
straighten a hopelessly wrinkled
dress, that twenty-four hours
just aren't enough for formula
brewing, diaper changing and
rescue operations. Her household
cleaning often takes a back seat
to the demands of the children
and a personal grooming rou-
tine is a luxury of the wonder
full past.
A new and growing family can
be a difficult one to propel
through a day of organization,
much less relaxation. However,
according to a. spokesman from
the Murine Company of Chi
cago, with a little planning, you
can be relaxed and well groom
ed throughout the day, even
though there is no time to work
at it.
The first suggestion is to solve
the clothing problem. For house
work, wear well-cut, simple dres-
seS, shorts or SlackS. Easily
wrinkled houSedreSSes should be
replaced by those inexpensive,
wonder fabrics of SeerSucker,
nylon or dacron. An iron never
need nod to these miracle fa-
bricS. Most of the "prettieS"
available today are crease re-
sistant and sturdy. Permanently
pleated wash and dry outfits
are especially attractive, and
hundreds of hours of slavery
over the ironing board can, be
eliminated. Save the high-heel-
ed pumps for a quick change
before company arrives or hubby
comes through the door. Low or
medium-heeled shoes are a ne
cessity if the days activities
consist of constant daShes from
living room to kitchen to nursery
and back again.
There are many extra minutes
for relaxation to be found dur
Arizona sun., 1957-03-28

ing the workday if we look for
them. While the stew is brewing
on the stove, Junior is playing
outside, and the baby is asleep
at last, take a "breather." This
doesn't mean a neighbor on the
phone, or reading the paper.
You have used your voice and
eyes enough as it is. Turn the
radio down low, stretch out ON
the couch, kick off your shoes
and place a drop or two Of eye
lotion in each eye and relax.
Follow these suggestions, and.
of course, plan your chores on a
logical and flexible schedule.
Then, by the time the man-of-
the-houSe arrives home, you will
greet him with poise and pref
tiness, rather than with tears
and traumaS.

When I read about atomic
energy and the wonders of cleo
tronics, I can't help feeling that
the world of modern industry
and science is unreal-it has no
connection with my world-my

nifty.
I mentioned this to an indus
trial designer friend and he
smiled. Even though it may
seem that industry and govern
ment are focusing their interest
primarily on abstract scientific
research" he said. 1.-The end re-

homemaker is the nations prin-

search is a never ending process

Army Suggests
Three-Man Rule

PORT AU PRINCE, Haiti, MAY
IA three-man military junta to
run the country until general cleo
tons are held was proposed last
night by the Army Chief, Gen.
Leon Cantave, at a meeting of
presidential candidates who are
members of the executive council
General Cantave said that the
proposed junta would undertake
to hold free elections with a min
imum delay. Under the proposal,
the general would be president
with Col. Roger Villedrouin and
Col. Pierre Haspil as the other
two members of the government
There would be military cabinet
but none Of its members would hold
portfolios.
General Cantave said the candi-
dates Louis Dejoie and Daniel Fig
mole opposed the proposal. Candi-
dates Francois Duvallier and De-
metrius Bonaventure accepted pro-
vided that the elections were free
and held with a minimum Of delay.
According to General Cantave's
statement, candidates Dejoie and
Fignoie made a proposal that the
Army should participate in the ex-
ecutive council and hold the port
folios of National Defense and
Foreign Affairs. This, General
Cantave said, the Army found un-
acceptable.
The general revealed that can
didstes Clement Jumelle and julio
Jean-Pierre Audain had requested
a junta. He said that in view of
the deadlock he had invited all the
candidates to discuss among them
selves, and with all political fac
