GAS ECONOMY One of the safest things you can do on a cross-country auto trip is economize on your gas mileage. The reason is that when you are traveling at safe, moderate speeds (in keeping with speed laws and driving conditions) you are also traveling at speeds which generally result in the most economigarr gasoline consumption. For Dbth safety and economy, avoid sudden \jerky stops and rapid acceleration. It pays to save on that gasoline bill, especially when a life also may be saved. When you speak of a "catty" person you reflect upon feline society. Household Hints "Can I use my washer and dryer to clean my electric blanket?" "If we add several appliances, will we need to revise our electrical wiring?" "What are some good oven meals?" These and a staggering number of other questions ire asked daily of home economists ni home service work. Mi^a r g a r e t Goodyear, in charge of home management at the University of Illinois, explains that today's homemakers are confronted with a complex array of appliances designed to help lighten their work. But first they must know how to make the best use of these "right hand helpers." This is where the home service representative fits in. Employed by gas and electric power companies, these home economists show consumers how utilities can be used most effectively. Their job -ii versatile, to say the least. Besides giving demonstrations to adult, school or youth groups, a home service representative goes into homes to work with homemakers and families. She explains the care and use of new appliances, and she often helps plan kitchen and laundry areas. In her office she organizes demonstrations, prepares recipe sheets, booklets and news releases, and answers questions raised by phone calls and letters. Often she further represents her company by appearing on radio and television programs. Each year Miss Goodyear says the University receives many more requests for young women to enter this field than there are girls to fill the positions. Joan Pilot, a 1956 graduate from Berwyn, is currently home service adviser for the Northern Illinois Power Company in Bellwood. Rosemary Archibald, 1959 graduate from Joliet, is home service adviser with the Milwaukee Gas and Light Company. Much of her time is spent helping consumers with kitchen planning. Miss Goodyear points out that certain personal characteristics are important in home service work. Since the job is the center of the public eye, a girl should be sincerely interested in people and their problems and be able to meet people easily. She should be flexible and tactful in her contacts with people having varied interests. She should enjoy working with and have knowledge of foods and equipment, and •should be. alert and imaginative. Of course, experience with club and classroom demonstrations is helpful. For more information about careers and courses of study in this and other areas of home economics, write to Janice M. Smith, Head, Department of Home Economics, University of Illinois, Urbana.

The boys gathered at the neighborhood filling station recently had a lot pf ideas on this subject.
