OK Lets Get Up To Date Oh Women NEW YORK (IP) A man in our office asked to be brought up to date on women. tail, manual dexterity and patience. Facts, he said. Is the mid cen tury American woman taller, rich er, smarter, busier, happier and healthier than she used to be? Yes and no, we said. Facts, he repeated grimly. He never expected to be able to under stand women he informed us, but he would like to collect all th: available facts in one handy refer ence. What the boss wants around here, the boss gets. As follows: Women are taller by £ % to ’4 of an inch than they were 25 yeais ago and their shoe size has increas ed from an average 4B to 78. Changed sizing requirements ac count for part of this. They get half a year more school ing than men on the average, al though in the small percentage of persons who attend college me outnumber women three to one. Working Percentage One third of all women over M years old work outside their homes. And one out of every two working women is married. Within 20 more years it is estimated that half of our entire labor force will be wo men. They earn an average of SI,OOO less per year than men for com parable job. yet there are 31,185 women who earns SIO,OOO a year or more. The average wife has less chance of having a maid than she did 20 years ago. in spite of prosperity. There are half a million fewer women employed in household ser vice than there were 15 years ago. Women are less stable emotion ally than men in everyday busi ness, according to a recent survey of 500 industrialists. They said women excelled in ability with de- Kruin Hi«.iv \\ e \>v.-r Close ,a. A Jl&A* Women outnumber men by one million in the . United States and ouUlve them by five to 10 yearn. ; A woman of 30 can expect to live to 75 years and six months, five ‘ | years more than her mother could ! expect at the same age. She also stands a greater chance : than ever of being a widow. There are 7,400,000 widows now, almost twice as many as there were in 1920. More Children Married women under 44 years of age are settig new records for having families of two, three and four children. The rate of fourth births is almost twice what it was 20 years ago. Even fifth births are bie|irming, statistics records re port, to show upward tendencies. Women control more than 70 per cent of the nation's savings and do 90 per cent of the family buy ing. They are not particularly ex travagant in their own wardrobes. The average owns 5.9 pairs of shoes and buys only four new dresses a year. Are women happier than they used to be? Their living standard is the high est in history, their children are the healthiest in the world and their husbands are more helpful around the house than husbands of any other nation. Yet there is evidence that they are not as happy as women of for mer generations. They are torn be tween home and duties outside the home, Dr. Florence R Kluckhohn recently advised the new Com mission on the Education of Wo men. They have, she said, “an un healthy feeling of confusion.” War Bride (Continued From Page One) were interviewed at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Robert A. West at their home at 209 North Wautauga Avenue right after Mrs. West had served them a big, thick julcey steak “And how did Sumiko like the steak.” “Oooh,” she smiled, with a de lightful twinkle in her pretty dark eyes, “It was just wonderful . . . I liked it very much." “As much as rice?” asked the reporter. “Well.” she laughed, casting a, wary eye at her hostess, “I still j like rice.” “She sure does,” chimed in War rent Officer Bass, “she eats it three times a day. I buy it by the bushel." HUSBAND PROMOTED Bass is the son of Mr. and Mrs Jonah Bass wellknown residents of Dunn Route 5. Just last week he received his promotion from sergeant to warrant officer. He’s home after two tours of duty ir. Japan and other long tours in Alaska and at other bases with the Corps of Engineers. He was a sergeant when he met Sumiko six years and nine months ago at the Engineering Equipment and Maintenance Depot in Yoko homa. Sumiko was his secretary at the big depot and he married her. “I tried to tire her once", he confessed, “but the Major wouldn’t let me because she was so efficient, so I married her,” he laughed. “Now who’s the boss?" asked the reporter. Sumiko and Calvin looked at each other in that meaningful manner - both laughed and said, “I am,” at the same time. Sumiko, typical of Japanese girls who have broken away from the old tradition of female subserviance to their mates, has caught on fast. The reporter diplomatically changed the subject. “You talk just like these Ameri can wives of ours,” sighed the re porter. Sumiko smiled her approval of that remark. BACK TO SAME BASE It wasn t until his second tour of duty at the Yokohama base that Bass became serious about Sumiko and turned his thoughts to matrimony. Strangely enough he was sent back to the very sanm job he had held before on his second duty. The first time he was stationed at the depot he was a clerk in the editing department. He returned as chief clerk. In charge of a staff of 58 enlisted men and 180 Japa nese civilians, which speaks well of Warrant Officer Bass’ military a bility. Both tours of duty, Sumiko was his secretary. “And, he admitted with typical male reluctance, “she’s a good sec retary, too.” She types 60 WOfos a minute and is just as efficient as secretaries come. Sumiko returned the compliment to her ex-boss-husband. “Yes,” she admitted, “he was a hard boss.” TWO CEREMONIES They've been married now just a little over 11 months, but the*r courtship lasted over five years ... It was exactly five years and 10 months to the date after they met that they were married. As a matter of fact, they were j married twice, once in a civil cere mony at the American Embassy and the second time in a native Budhist ceremony. For an American soldier to wed a foreign girl- isn’t such a simple matter either. They applied for their license on July 20 and it took until late August to get It. Before the American government would permit the ceremony he was investigated in the service and at home by the government. Sumiko was also investigated by both the American and Japanese govern ments to ascertain that she was a young lady of good background, good character and moral terpi tude. Sumiko comes from an excellent Japanese family. She’s the daugh ter of Mi’, and Mrs. Masakicha Oikawa. Her father is a landscap er and she has two sisters and one brother. “The hardest part about the whole romance,” related W. o. Bass, was his first meeting with ’ her family. Her parents were strict | on her. allowed her to go out with j but few Japanese boys and no I American Gls. Some of the Gl’s THE DAILY RECORD, DUNN, N. O. didn’t have such a good reputa tion with the better-class families such as Sumiko s family. But Bass met the test and soon became good friends with the family Long before they were married, his family on Dunn. Route 5, and the Japanese family were exchanging letters and Mrs. Bass Sent Sumiko an American Bible. It is one of her most trea sured possessions. PROUD OF RECEPTION The Dunn soldier was frankly worried and skeptical about how his bride would be received in the South, a section of the country which sticks pretty much to tradi tion. After all the two countries had been at war and many a Sampson County son had been killed by the Japanese. "But not once,” he said proudly, “has any person over here made an uspleasant o rhostile remark to Sumiko.” He’s extermely proud of that and so is she. The only exception since their marriage was a little hostility shown her by some French and German war brides as they pre pared to sail for America. “Everybody”, said Sumiko again,” has been so sweet to me. It is so very wonderful over here In my new home.” WANTS FAMILY, CITIZENSHIP The two things she wants most of all, incidentally are a family - - one boy and one girl - - and her American citizenship. It will take her five years to get temporary citizenship and a nother five years to become a full fledged American citizen unless her husband should get another overseas assignment. In that case, a special provision in the la»v would make her eligible for citi zenship in five years. “She wants to become a citizen so badly,” said Warrant Officer Bass, “sometimes I think she’s going to make me ask for over seas duty so she can get those citizenship papers in a hurry.” The interview turned to the war and to international politics. ~ HATES JAP LEADER “My people,” said Sumiko, “hate Tojo, we hate him, and we love General MacArthur.” When she even mentioned the name Tojo you could see her sharp eyes burn ed with hatred because 6f the grief he caused her people. “My people,” explainel Sumiko, “reahy didn’t kjjow about the war Tojo never told us the truth.” As for General Douglas Mac- Arthur, she spoke of him with great reverence and respect. “Over in Japan,” she said, “we almost worship General MacArthur. He and America did more for us than anybody.” She said that in Japan MacArthur is practically worship ped as a God. . BROUGHT DEMOCABCY General MacArthur, related Su mikn, did away with the caste sys tem among the Japanese people and brought real democracy to that vast Oriental nation for the first time. "Before General MacArthur,” she pointed out, “one group of people never speak to another. One group thought they better thin another. Now, we all friends. We all like Gen. MacArthur. He is great man to all my people.” She said the Japanese also like former President Harry Truman, but not quite as much as they did | before he fired Gen. MacArthur. “When General MacArthur was taken away from us.” said Sumiko, my people cried and wept in the streets. We very sad - - we thought we had lost our dearest friend.” As for President Eisenhower, she confessed that neither she not the Japanese knew too much about him. “But I’m sure he great man,” she smiled, “because he’s our Presi dent now. He’s great American, I am sure.” “Brothei” spoke up Warrant Officer Bass, “this girl is a true American. Don’t say anything bad about Truman, Eisenhower or any other good American or you’ll have a fight on your hands.” He pat ted his pretty Oriental wife af fectionately. “He’s right.” smiled Sumiko. “That’s the way I feel.” She said the Japanese had no use whatever for the South Kore ans *r for the Chinese Comßu nlsts. In fact, she used a little stronger language than that. “We no like Communists any : w'here, ’ added Sumiko, “we on side of America. We stick to American as any foreign-born citizen can possibly be. Like the American women* pointed out W. o. Bass, “she loves to go shopping, spends hours look ing even if she doesn’t spend but ten cents.” She likes American music, American customs and America,! customs. She likes American movie stars such as Barbara Stanwyck and I Loretta Young. NO MONROE FAN “And how about Marilyn Mon roe . asked the reporter. The pretty thing shrugged her shoulder and said, “Don’t care too much for her myself.” “But what about the Japanese , insisted her interviewer. ... °“ sure ” said Sumiko, ,“they like her very, very much. They're men, you know.” The reporter understood that. Sumiko hasn’t had too much trouble mastering the English lan guage because she attended an English-speaking school in Japan and she spoke English at the American base years before com ing to this country, i The Japanese name Sumiko, by the way, means the equivalent m New Skirts (Continued From Page Oae) shaped the way we popularly sup pose. The James dress form, or dum my, alows for a more definite hip curve Just below the waist, a long waisted look in back and a slightly slouched posture. The Baker brothers cut their straight skirt so the waist dipped! down in the back about one inch to eliminate any wrinkling below j the waistband. Then they decided to make the band itself no more than one-inch wide, and cut on the bias, so It would rest snugly in the waistline indentation without wrinkling. . Linings Identically Cut They cut skirt linings exactly like the backs of their skirts, with the same long darts, so they would curve Identically. And then they decided that for a really sleek line, the skirt should be tapered inward toward the hem. They begin their tapering seven inches below the | waist, and gradually narrow the | skirt about •>; inch cm either side, 1 although a pleat at the hemline 1 allows walking room. “It’s the same kind of thinking j a woman should do when she looks at herself in the mirror,” Matt ex plained. “Attention to detail is the difference between a woman In the ‘best - dressed’ category and a wo man who only is fashionably dress ed.” Their skirts, called Sportempos, allow for smaller waistlines and bigger hips than the strictly man tailored straight skirt. Leave Room For Curve “We think a size 12 figure has approximately 37-inch hips,” Baker said. “You don’t have to be skin ny, you know, to wear a straight skirt. So long as the skirt allows plenty of room for curves, it can be one of the most becoming styles a woman can wear.” Baker passed along a tip to home sewers who stitch up their own straight skirts. This man is de termined to see skirts properly fitted Always cut the skirt lining on the straight of the fabric, and put the selvage edge along the bottom to be sure he said. The lining, he added, should come down below the hip curve in the back. Wade Will (Continued From Page One) served with the United Static Ar my in the South Pacific, the ippines and Japan, being honorably discharged in 1946. The trip to Europe will be in connection with a Committee in spection of Defense and Govern ment department and agency In ventories of the United States Government in further preparation of an inventory report of all Unit ed States personalty and realty located is the United States, the Territories and- overseas. Mr. Wade graduated from the Dunn High School In 1939, and at tended Campbell College and the George Washington University in Washington, D. C. He makes his home in Washington at 4121 W Street, N. W. Mr. Wadg ancl his brother, George R. Wade, expect to spend this week-end in Dunn with their mother, and they .will attend a famity reunion while they are in the city. English to Clean, Beautiful Old River. She wasn’t sure Just what was the origin of her name in Japan. She likes tthe name, “Mrs. Cal vin Bass” much, better. SHE’S AMERICANIZED There’s no doubt about the fact that she has been thorough Ameri canized. - Japanese women have the re putation of being the most affec tionate, most devoted wives in the world. A famous American writer, in one of his new books, s'aid only recently that, “Once an American has known the love of a Japanese woman he is never satisfied with any other.” The reporter wanted to know a bout that. “Perhaps,” she suggested with a blush, "you better ask Calvin,” nodding toward her husband. '‘Now just a minute,” joked Cal vin in thg typical rqale manner, “Let’s don't say things like that. She’s hard enough to get along with now.” It was obvious he real ly didn't mean that statement. "Put it this way,’ replied War rant Officer Bass after thinking for a moment, “How many Ameri can girls do yqu know who would give up their home and their own country to go with a man 10,000 miles away?” The reporter confessed he was stumped. “But,” added the newsman, “I can easily see why a man wouli gladly go 10,000 miles for a girl like Sumiko.” There’s no doubt about it, this oriental lovely, Sumiko (Mrs. Cal vin Bass of Dunp, North Carolina, Route 5, if you please) is a honey of a gal. < She'd a doll. She’s quite a dish! Incidentally, she’s looking a Job as a secretary for some Dunn business concern. Prato May | (Continued from Page One) politan Opera Association has pre sented the smiling opera expert with season passes for two of the best seats iw the house. Prato said he has been given a job paying “more than $10,000” a year by the American Blit Rite Company, makers of the sofes and heels he used in his shoe repair shop. He will serve as the com pany’s “goodwill ambassador” to the nation’s shoe Industry and cobblers. Prato will travel around the country two weeks each month, speaking at shoe industry conven tions and have heart-to-heart tasks with cobblers about their problems. Prato has continued to mend shoes In his little shop in the Bronx despite the big money he has won on his successive appearances the past few weeks. He refused to say whether he will enter the glassed-in booth to ri yrht and try for what promises to be a tough question about op era. his chosen subject. But he did say he will go In aione, if he goes, rather than take along an expert as allowed by the rules for the top question. Win or lose. Prato is going to Italy the end of this month to visit his 92-year-oi’d father In Genoa. ”1 promised Daddy I’d be there one way or the other,” he said.
