for men and women interested
in teaching.
Dam jobs come easiest, per-
4 haps, for mothers who
have special talent to market
and are not involved with
other peoples schedules. One
young woman, Jeanne Lip
man is a designer of sweaters
who has managed to raise a
family and to keep on working
at the same time, turning out
a series of successful designs
from a studio" set up in a
spare room of her house.
In the same way another
mother, Anne Orling, is able
to look after her family and
to find outlets for her decorat-
ing talents in her busy, ex-
banding suburban neighbor-
hood. At present she limits her
clients to the number she can
handle in the few hours she
has free. Later on" she says,
''it will be a simple matter to
branch out and take on more
work, after the children have
gone to college and don't need
so much of my time"
II is a testimonial to the in
genuity of women to examine
the many kinds of work they
have found to do on a limited
or part-time basis. In one busy
typical neighborhood of 1900
families, the list of working
mothers includes a dental n.y.
gienist, a free-lance copy
writer, a home typist, sales
women for jewelry, plants and
shrubs, cosmetics and freezer
foods. There are school
nurses, receptionists, teachers,
swimming instructors, and a
painter who has found a COM
mercial market for her work.
There is even a doctor who
plans to practice full time
again when her children are
older.
Over the country, six mil
lion mothers are back at work,
and as one of them said, ITS
easy = compared to the full
time job I had at home, while
the children were growing
up."

ularly in the suburbs. Most
women shoot for the ideal
job to begin with-something
not far from home with hours
that match the time the chill
dren are away at school.
And then there is always
the question of illness. What
is the responsibility of a
working mother whose child
is only moderately i'll on a
given school morning?
Obstacles Notwithstanding,
ingenious mothers, eager to
get back to work, have met
the challenge in a variety of
interesting ways. Elizabeth
Wendell has two boys, eleven
and twelve. She wanted a job
as secretary on a part-time
basis, but when she ap-
preached the local employ
ment agencies they assured
her there simply was not such
a position in the suburbs and
pleasantly but firmly told her
it was a waste of time to look.
Resolutely she made up list
of every factory, every pub
Usher, every school, every
newspaper, every advertising
agency and every printer with
in a fifteen-minute driving ra-
dius of her home. One by one,
she called on them and told
her story. Again and again she
explained she was a cracker
jack secretary who could work
limited hours but in those
hours would do a good job.
The majority turned her down
but several asked her back for
an interview and she got her
job. Another mother, formerly
a top fashion reporter, has
found a way to get back to the
job she left when her first child
was born.
Il always wanted to go
back" she said, but not if it
was going to be at the boys
expense. My answer was a
four-day week. That way, !

Education Mrs. Brill, after
consultation with Yeshiva
University's Graduate School
of Education, was able to
ready herself to launch her
teaching career in six weeks!
In qualifying for teaching jobs,
every case differs. but the
usual procedure is something
like this: first, you must be
college graduate. Next, you at
tend a six-weeks summer ses-
sion at a university associated
with the program of the Fund
for the Advancement of Edu-
cation. At this time you are
granted a Provisional Certifi-
cate and accepted for a one
year Teaching Internship.
During this period you prac-
tice-teach half the time under
constant supervision and at
tend the graduate school two
nights a week to complete the
course necessary to qualify
fully as a teacher. During your
internship you earn half of a
beginning teachers salary and
in addition receive $500 to-
ward the cost of your tuition.

John S. Cockrell, executive

told the Council that moderniza-

in the revised ordinance could
be too costly unless a long-range
program could be devised.
The Council was praised for
this program of revision. Mr..

Sometimes nature is too boun-
tiful. For instance, sometimes
fruit sets on so thick that it
breaks the limbs. And then the
tree is crippled. If this happens
to your trees, you'd better thin
out some of the crowded fruits
rather than run the risk of
breaking your tree. You will
help both tree and fruit.
Clean Up After Harvest
A cleanup after harvest is a
good idea, whether it's fruit
trees, berries or vegetables. 1t
will even help in your flower
beds. 1t looks better, but there
are two other good reasons.
Cleanup will reduce insects and
plant disease troubles next year.
After peach harvest, rake up
fallen fruits and pick any re.
naming fruit. Use the good
ones. Bury the rest to help pre-
vent brown rot next year. Cut
out and burn dead raspberry
and blackberry canes, after they
have fruited and dried up.
You might try renovating the
strawberry patch. Cut back the
row edges and clean out be.
tween rows. Narrower rows will
do better and are easier to care
for.
Pull up and destroy beans and
other vegetables after harvest.
1t will help keep insects from
building up and attacking later

enough to handle the job. In
either case, check these lawn
moving hazards. How do you
rate?
Do you police the yard of toys,
sticks and stones before you
start? A rotary mower can
make mess of most any object
it hits. What's worse, a broken
piece of blade is dangerous as
shrapnel.
Do you NOW in your bare
feet? You're asking for trouble
if you do. Keep your shoes on.
You can take them off after
you're done.
Do you have control of your
mower at all times? Don't let
it pull you, if it's self-propelled
And if you have to leave it for
even few seconds, shut it off,
If you're teaching junior to
NOV, make sure he knows how
to stop the mower as well as
start it.
Do you NOV with people
around? It's not only impolite-
it's dangerous! That's worse
yet! There'l be plenty of time
to visit after you're done. And
this is a good time to visit. Com.

Annual flowers can be de-
stroyed after blooming. But cut
off old flowers and seed pods OF
perennials. Always leave some
foliage present to build strength
for over wintering and to retain
some decorative effect.
Bigger, Better Blooms
Disturbing perennials like
dahlia and crysanthemum will
produce bigger, better blooms,
It's just another form of thin
ming, and disbudding is the
practice that produces those
huge flower show specimens,
Earlier in the season, you'll re
member that we told you how
you could increase the number
of blooms by pinching back the
stems. This forced some more Of
the side branches to develop
and this in turn produced more
buds. If you let them go, you'll
have lots of flowers, but they'll,
be small. If you now remove the
side buds (all you need to dc
is pinch off the bud after it has
formed) you'll have fewer
blooms, but since the strength
Of the plant goes into fewer
flowers, they'll be bigger.

and a gold medal
By Marion Griffith
Clearwater 1852

A successful fund raising
campaign has raised a final
total of $46,266 in cash and
pledges toward the construction
of a new sanctuary and fellow
ship hall for the congregation
of the st. Paul Methodist
Church of Laytonsville, accord
ing to the Rev. Gilbert L. Hart,
pastor. The fund campaign
organization, elected from the
100 membership of the church
along with the pastor, expresses
the deep appreciation felt by all
for the response given.
A brief history of st. Pauls
shows a congregation making
plans to build a church in 1866.
Two years later, the church was
built and construction debt re-
duced to $31.93. The church
was remodeled in 1886 and
again in 1918. In 1857 the old
church was condemned for use
and the congregation moved to
an education unit for all Serv-
ices. The date of May 2, 1860
has been set for actual start
of construction on the new sane
