(CP Photo) 'Space-Age' Blanket Has Warmth Without Wires By ELEANOR ROSS Maybe last year's income tax cut didn't actually revolutionize your way of living, but there were a lot of little things that made our days easier, prettier, gayer and cleaner, so far as the home is concerned. Let's look at a few of the homemaker's new assets. WARMING NEWS For instance, there's a new way to keep warm! The elec- tric blanket took a space-age leap, dispensing heat the same way that astronaut clothing does--by circulating warm wa- ter through vinyl tubing woven into the fabric. This machine- washed blanket requires no wires. Then, along came a nicer way to shampoo (and bathe the baby), if hard water is your bane, On the market is a spray How To Decide It Another Job Would Be Better By ROBERTA ROESCH Sometimes you have to draw a line to decide when a job is an opportunity and when it's not for you. This is the case with one woman I know who currently has a job offer that would take her from her present work into a brand new challenge. "One part of me wants to take this new job and another doesn't," she said. 'I don't know what to do." SIMILAR UNCERTAINTY My advice to this uncertain woman---and to everyone else on a job fence like this--is to take a sheet of paper and head it "'Pro" and "'Con."' Then draw a line between the two words and sort out the way you feel. Here, to help you get started, are 10 things to consider, List your answers under "Pro" or "Con" and stretch your think- ing to other points, too. Take your time on each question. 1. How will you feel if you turn down the offered job op- portunity only to see someone else take it and gain many ad- vantages from it? hose, attachable to any faucet,| which has a nozzle containing a} lifetime supply of. water - soft- ener.

These tiles give a patio appearance to any room and can be suds- scrubbed repeatedly. on the market in new and lovely colors, which take to the wash- ing machine as successfully as sheets. Also new are floor-dusting mops made double the ordin- ary size to cover twice the area in one swipe. The nylon heads, in a variety of gay colors, are quick and easy to wash and dry. Last. fall, something marvel- lous for children's clothing was introduced -- a cotton fabric treated to look just like leather and made up into handsome garments that are machine- washable.

Carrying a bouquet of red roses, the bride wore a semi- ; with a hip-length over-blouse of lace with three-quarter sleeves. Her headdress was a lace covered wedding band softened with net veiling.

The ceremony took place in Westmount United Church. The Reverend Frank Ward of- ficiated with the bride's grand- father, the Reverend H. S. Cobb pronouncing the vows.

Given in marriage by her father, the bride wore a carna- tion white silk faille formal gown styled with an over-bodice of exquisitely designed Chan- tilly lace with a bateau neck- line and lily-point sleeves.

Now in stores everywhere, the slip suds as easily as the conven- tional variety. And for the menfolk,. socks come with adjustable "blets'"' to hold them up. They are mach- ine- washable and -dryable.

Souvard-Copeland Panel Discusses Career Choice At King Street Home and School "What Course: Should a Stu- dent Choose on Entering High Scnool?" was the topic discuss- ed at the February meeting -of King Street Home and School Association. The panel moderator was Mrs. Harold Armstrong and panelists were guidance teachers Miss M. A. Pellow, OCVI; Mr. J. A. Schell, OCVI; and Mr. John. W. Sigsworth, Donevan Collegiate. Many questions were answer- ed, and the many skilled trades offered at McLaughlin Collegiate for two-year and four-year terms were noted. Many stu- dents found a five-year course too difficult and that was why a four-year course was intro- duced to keep students in school longer. Some students. were dropping out of school because of attempting something that was beyond their ability in the five-year course. Miss Pellow gave some sound advice to parents, Students should have a goal in life be- cause education became more complex all the time, and more educational avenues were offer- ed. Brochures were available for distribution from the Board of Education, on the new revised Robarts' Plan, she said. Twenty per cent of students go on to university, 20 per cent continue to the end of the two- year program, but it was the other 60 per cent that needed guidance, as to where they were headed. More students were staying in school now than ever before, it was brought out. Panel Leans To Working Mothers Providing Family Does Not Suffer Should mothers work? The answer can be decided only by the individual and her family. This was the conclusion from a lively panel discussion at the monthly meeting of the Univer- sity Women's Club of Oshawa and district at Adelaide House. Members of the panel were: Miss Marie Shantz, a_ high school teacher; Mrs. E. M. Culp, a mother and former busi- 'a |ness representative; Mrs, A.

Her maid of honor was her sister, Miss Sharon Elizabeth Cobb and the bridesmaids were Miss Kathleen Cobb and Miss Sharon King, all of Oshawa. They were gowned alike in sapphire blue semi-formal gowns of velvet with bouffant skirts and white velvet jackets. Their héaddresses were white velvet wedding rings with blue velvet bows and white illusion veils, and they carried teardrop cascades of white carnations tinted with blue. The best man was Mr. James Burke and the ushers were Mr. James Clapp and Mr. Charles Barron, ail of Oshawa, The reception was held at the Church hall. where the bride's mother received, wearing a light aqua chiffon sheath with cap sleeves, and bateau neck- line on the deep aqua bodice of re-embroidered Alencon lace, White accessories and a corsage of white carnations tinted tur- quoise completed her ensemble. The bridegroom's mother assist- ed wearing a turquoise wool jersey jacket dress with em- broidered lace collar, matching accessories and a corsage of similar flowers. As the couple left on a honey- moon to -Niagara Falls and points west the bride was wear- ing a two-piece navy blue crepe dress and black fur jacket with navy blue and white accessories aud a corsage of white carna- tions. On their return Mr, and Mrs. Clapp will reside. in with | Oshawa. Dixon, a mother and supply teacher; and Mrs. W. L. Gil- christ, a mother and former practising paediatrician. Mrs. R. V. Sheffield was the moderator, The panel. considered a work- B\ing mother as a mother who, al- though her husband was ably supporting the family, chose to work full-time outside her home and be a _ wage-earner. Women who could successfully combine motherhood and a full- time job needed tremendous energy, powers of concentration the ability to cope with home and at work. A mother's success de- pended on countless factors in- cluding: her health, how she and ner husband felt about her out- side work, and how good a mother-substitute she was able to employ to care for her chil- dren while she was away from home. "Mother - figure" continuity and care were essential to the well-being of very young chil- dren. Children were happier if the mother kept regular hours and employed a regular substi- tute. When problems arose in the home of a full-time work- ing mother they stemmed, not from neglect, but from the mo- ther's feelings of guilt. Self- development appeared to be greater among teen-agers of working mothers. The young people usually started dating later and went steady less often than. those from homes where the mother did not work out- side. Where there were teen-age girls in the family it seemed preferable that the mother work. There would be challenges to a husband's comfort, social life, children's welfare, sexuality and self-esteem when a mother works full - time outside the home. His public image may suffer in the eyes of his friends if he had to help with some of the household chores. For these reasons the husband should agree about his wife's working and her goals. Some men felt that their wives were more in- teresting when working and that their marriage relationship was enhanced. What affected the individual affected society as a whole. Pub- lic opinion was strongly divided about mothers working away from home.It was difficult for a woman to have an outstanding career and be a good wife and mother also. There was no de- finite evidence that children would be less happy when mo- thers worked. However, it had been established that in most areas after-school day care for the children of working mothers was sadly lacking. Young chil- dren should not. be without an adequate mother - substitute. Statistics showed that working mothers belonged to as many voluntary organizations as other mothers, but they were not as active in-leadership roles.
