Homemaking is a challenging occupation.
Typically, a housewife has the job of
managing the household, caring for the
children, doing the housework. Society
generally views her efforts as import
tant,time consuming, "basic to a healthy
society," even responsible for having
kept the fires of civilization burning
brightly and make this a better world for
all of us," as someone once put it.
Dr. David Reuben in Everything You Always
Wanted to Know About Sex But Were Afraid
to Ask has written, "Just being a house-
is the world's most diversified and de-
manding job. Many a housewife simulta-
neously operates a short-order cafe, a
one-day laundry service, a diversified
purchasing agency, a child-care center,
a continuous cleaning and home manage-
ment operation, and a 24-hour-a-day coun-
seling service. In her spare time she
fills in with interior decorating, cloth-
ing manufacturing, childbearing, garden-
ing, gourmet cooking, and cost accounting
At the same time, she is wife and lover
to her adoring husband. By comparison,
forty hours a week in an office seems
like a vacation."
Sure she's indispensable...does every
kind of job and then some. But suppose
you added it all up in dollars and cents:

fore they should not be expected to help
with household chores."
CONCEPT
SUB-CONCEPT
CONTENT
1. The changes taking place in the roles
of men in the family are only part of
changes occurring throughout society.
The challenge for wife or mother or
children is to help create the kind
of feeling in the home where the
husband and father is no longer ex-
cluded but takes a larger part.
All family members can try to learn
ways of making time spent together,
on limited energy and resources, more
meaningful rather than more demanding.
The opportunity of each family to
create its own roles and patterns of
relationships may be seen as opportu-
nity for learning and exploring to-
gether, not just a means for cre-
ating frustrations.

saving for anything. I would like a
new outfit, however."
Would you

"but we never have enough money for every-
thing. I don't know where all our money
goes."

Art Principles
Color
Texture used in a room will affect the
apparent size and amount of light re-
flected or absorbed and will have an
influence on the emotions of the
occupants.
In decorating it is well to remember
that one color has to be the star. There
will be one or two featured players.
The star and the featured players are
the colors you choose for walls, floors,
draperies, bedspreads, sofa. Use accent
colors, but never make the star jealous.
Balance in a room produces a feeling of
rest and equilibrium.
A feeling of unity is achieved in a
room when the furnishings and back-
grounds are related in size, design,
color and texture.

FREE C?) ENCYCLOPEDIAS
Kay Caragher
Lisa graduated From high school in June. She lived in a small
town. She got a job as an aide in a hospital there. Her picture was
in the local paper with those of the other new aides. Then she began
to get calls From many salesmen.
One night, Lisa was Just Finishing the dishes when her doorbell
rang. It was a salesman. He said he was Mr. Dean From the Smith
Book Company. He wanted to show her a set of encyclopedias. Lisa
let him come in.
Mr. Dean showed her a picture of the set of books. He also gave
her a copy of one of the books to look at. Then he began his sales
pitch.He told her all the good points of the books. He then told her
this was a once-in-a-life-time offer. He would give her the $200.00
set Free if his company could use her name and home town in their ads.
Lisa didn't have a set of encyclopedias. She thought this was a good
offer. She told Mr. Dean she would accept his offer. AFter she agreed,
Mr. Dean told her she would also have to agree to keep the set up to
date. To do this, she would have to purchase the yearbook each year
For ten years. This would only cost her $33.75 a year. Lies thought
this was reasonable. She signed the agreement. Mr. Dean thanked her
and left.
Lisa was pleased with her Free books. She couldn't wait to get
them. The next day her Friend Paula came to visit her. Lisa told
Paula all about the books.
Paula said, "I have a set of encyclopedias. They aren't From the
same company but I only pay $10.00 For my yearbooks." Lisa was
amazed. Paula told Lisa to get pencil and paper and they would Figure
out how much Lisa would be paying For the ten yearbooks.
$33x.70 They Found she would be paying $337.50 in ten years. Paula
$337.50 would get ten yearbooks For $100.00. They Figured some more.
If Lisa's set cost $200.00 and the yearbooks were $10.00 a
piece, the total cost For the set and ten yearbooks would be
$300.00. Lisa was.paying $37.50 more than the books cost by
10 taking this offer.
10 Lisa said to Paula, "I never dreamed I'd be paying so much.
100 I thought I was getting the set Free. I don't want them now.
+200 They are not worth it. Do I have to take them since I signed
$300 the agreement?"
$337.50 Paula said, 0 No, you don't have to take them. There's a new
-300.00 law in our state. You can break the agreement if you do it
$ 37.50 within three days."
Lisa thanked Paula For coming over to see her. Lisa wished she
had done some Figuring before she signed the agreement. IF she had,
she wouldn't have to write a letter. The next time she would think
before she signed anything.

Mary Beth Manning
Shirley and Larry had had a Fight over their many bills. Shirley
was Feeling sad. She decided to cheer herself up by going shopping.
Shirley took her baby, Tammy, and drove to town. She saw a large
"Sale" sign on a dress shop window.
Shirley decided to look at the dresses on sale. She parked the
car, took Tammy, and went into the store.
"May I help you?" asked a clerk. "We have many lovely dresses
on sale."
"I really don't need a dress," answered Shirley. "I just want
to look."
"We are glad to have you look. Do you like something blue?"
asked the clerk. "Here is such a pretty one. You wear a size 10,
don't you? It will look nice with your blond hair."
"Well I really don't need a new dress," replied Shirleyj "but
it is pretty. Such a lovely shade of blue."
"Why not try it on?" asked the clerk. "You don't have to buy it.
I would like to see it on you."
Shirley decided to try on the dress. It was her size and a
perfect Fit.
"The dress is pretty," she said. "I do like it on me."
"You should buy it, my dear," urged the clerk. "The sale is
only for today. You should not pass up such a good buy."
"How much is the dress?" asked Shirley.
"Just $15.00," replied the clerk, "a real bargain. It is
marked down from $25.00."
"All right, I'll take it," decided Shirley.

BROKE AGAIN
Ruth Freel
"Two lousy dollars What a bank belanoel" said Sally to her-
self.
Sally had a reel problem. She was going to her beat Friend's
baby shower. She needed a gift.
"I wanted to give Linda something really nice for the baby,"
Sally thought. "She has been such a good Friend to me. She and
Jim don't have too much money to spend. And now I have only two
dollars What can I do with two dollars?"
Sally had graduated from high school in June. Jobs were scarce,
but she had Finally landed a Job as a checker in a super market.
Somehow her pay didn't seem to go very Far. She was broke most of
the time. Sally always wanted to be doing what her friends were
doing. One of her new Friends at the super market had talked Sally
Into going to the beach For the week-end even though she knew she
could' afford to go.
That week-end at the beach had cost her more than she had
planned on spending. Besides the cost, it had rained most of the
time and she didn't meet any cute boys. All in all, the week-end
had been a Fizzle.
Two weeks ago Sally had bought a car. All the girls she work-
ed with had cars. "Why shouldn't I have one, too?" she reasoned.
The car had taken all her savings. It had taken many hours of baby-
sitting to earn the $400.00 she had spent on the car.
"Mother warned me,tool" Sally thought. "She told me I should
wait awhile before I bought a oar."
Then came a large dentist bill. Sally's mother came to the
rescue and paid the dentist's bill. Sally had agreed to pay her
mother back in weekly payments.
"Mother is one little lady who wouldn't be in this mess," Sally
said to herself. "She always seems to be able to plan her money.
I can't let her know what a bind I am in. What can I do? I'm
supposed to be grown. And look at mel Maybe by morning I'll get an
idea."
Somehow the next morning things did not seem so bad. "Mrs.
Allard, my home economics teacher, wouldn't be stuck this way,"
Sally thought. "She had zip. Her hair was getting grey. Guess
she was pretty old-maybe 40. But she could make a lot out of
nothing. And could she ever solve problems. What would Mrs. Allard
do in a case like this? I could knit a baby Jacket if I had time.
But I don't have time."
APPENDIX # 6
Suddenly an idea came to Sally. "Why, of course," she
thought. "I did the bulletin board which said, 'It is when you
give of yourself that you truly give' I know what I'll do. I'll
buy a nice baby card and I'll write on it
Dear Linda,
I know you and Jim
will want to go out once
in awhile afterthe baby
comes. You can trust the
baby with me. A gift
for the baby-to-be
So, I, Sally, promise with warment wishes
you twelve hours of free For every happiness
baby sitting.
With love,
Sally
