These cuts courtesy "Bear Tracks", School For Housewives Teaches Home Repairs NEW YORK (UP) Broken elec tric cords leaking faucets and cracked plaster can be repaired ex pertly by housewives, if their hus bands will stop belittling their mechanical talents. Two long-suffering wivcs( Mrs. Lillian II. Baldwin and Mrs. Grace K. Liebman, started a school to teach women how to repair house hold 'equipment.. "We didn't know how to fix the broken things in our own. houses, and viegot tired naggUig our hus bands to do It," they explained. TheH set up workshop In " a Broadway building, lined up three male Industrial arts teachers, and promptly signed un 20 women who .shared ttiKir curiosity about house hold' repair.. The wi.iuen are fascinated by the inside of a water faucet and the parts of an electric iron. What's more, they're good at putting the pieces ba'-k together. Quick Learners "If you don't get too technical with them, women are quicker learners at this sort of thing than men," said Carl Pfelffcr, one of the Instructor;.- ' '" "They hesitate to try things at home because they tliink men will America's rice crop has grown steadily during the past decade of Asian rice shortages. The 1949 harvest of almost 90,000,000 bush els was grown in nearly equal fourths In Louisian. Texas, Arkan sas, and California. laugh at them. Husbands like to think their wives are mechanic ally helpless." The husbands would be disillu sioned if they could see the women putting a professional "underwrit er's knot" In an electric cord as they attach it to the plug. Each member of the class sits with a broken plug in her hands and re pairs it as the instructor demon strates. A look of smug satisfaction settles on their faces when their electrical repair is okayed by the instructor. Surprised by Success One gray-haired housewife strug gled with a broken toaster cord and explained that she was taking the course because "I figure if a man doesn't learn how to do It the first 50 years you might as well learn yourself." Mrs. Baldwin and Mrs. Liebman are a little surprised at the success of their "Know-How Workshop." They have planned It so their housewife-students will learn basic repairs, such as faucets, plaster cracks, broken upholstery springs and broken Venetian blinds, In nine two-hour lessons. "The success of our Idea has only one drawback," Mrs. Baldwin said. "We've been too busy to attend the classes ' ourselves. We still don't know how to fix the broken ga'dgets In our own houses."
