Dear iaooy...wny is my
cat suddenly ignoring her
litter box?-D. S.. Hartford
Most likely, the kitty litter
is dirty. Cats are neat ani
mals who not only like to
keep themselves immaculate,
but appreciate cleanliness
around them. Use a scoop as
required, and change the kit
ty litter if the pan feels
"heavy" when lifted. Be
fore every change of kitty
litter, wash the pan thor
oughly with soap and hot
water. Another possible rea
son Is that the pan may be
too small for your cat. Of
course, you may be saying
that your cat has chosen the
bedroom rug as her litter
box. In that case, if the lit
ter box is clean, chances are
your cat is angry with you or
wanin aucimun.
Dear Tabby...Why does my
cat eat houseplants’ Should
I feed him greens'*-J. w.,
San Francisco
Often, cats nibble on
plants because they like the
taste. But check to see If
the canned cat food is com
pletely balanced for proper
growth and nutrition. Some of
those small cans are proper
ly fofmulated for a good,
neat diet. There are kitty
greens on the market which
you can give your cat, or
grow plants from ordinary
birdseed. But on no account
allow your cat to eat house
plants, not only because it
will rulh your indoor shrub
bery. but some houseplants
cafi make cats quite ill.
Dear Tabby...What do you
look for when you've got the
pick of the litter'*—D. R.,
Philadelphia
Many things. Probably the
most important thing is good,
even bone structure. But
other things are meaningful
as well: a good, shiny,
healthy coat; vitality and
playfulness; size (big is
usually better). These are in
addition to more personal
matters of taste, such as
markings, hair length, etc.
Once these are taken into
account and you feel you
are getting a relatively
healthy animal, it’s just a
matter of which one you can
relate to the best...the one
that gives you that over
whelming urge to cuddle it
and take it home with you.
Dear Tabby...Do nursing
cats need anything extra in
their diets?—V. C.. Chicago
Yes. Since they are pro
viding nourishment for a
host of little ones as well
as themselves, they need
more food to begin with, and
will frequently appear to be
hungrier at this time. Vita
min supplements may also
be in order, but consult your
veterinarian so that your
cat gets the proper supple
ment she needs. Additional
snacks or meals can be
added to the regular diet but
let your cat set her own
pace. Some mother-to-be cats
suffer from constipation
towards the end: a dollop of
non-carbolated white petro
leum jelly, applied to the
nose, will ease this situ
ation when she licks it off.

JJNC Economist Says
Discrimination Is Not Reason Women Have Lower Level Jobs
Snpcial Tn ..... . . .........
By Gale Jones
CHAPEL HILL - If there
were no hiring discrimination
at all, women still would have
the lower level and lower
paying jobs, says Dr Solomon
W. Polachek, economics pro
fessor at the University of
North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Polachek says his research
indicates women are in the
lower end of the economic
scale because they tend not to
go into the labor force on a
full-time basis. They choose
an occupation according to
how much time they expect to
spend working, he says.
Men typically enter the la
bor force on a full-time basis.
Men typically enter the la
bor force after school and
remain there until retirement,
but his statistics show only 71
percent of all women, married
and single, between ages 30
and 44 worked almost every
year since leaving school.
“The average married wo
man takes about 10 years off
■— " 1 - ""
iu i aise cnuaren, Koiacnek
says, “thereby losing about
one-fourth to one-third of her
working life.”
During the years a woman is
not working, her skills depre
ciate, he explains, so when she
does return to work, her real
wage (not her actual salary,
but her wages adjusted for
cost of living) is lower than it
was before she quit work. This
depreciation varies according
to occupation with losses the
greatest in highly skilled and
professional jobs.
Polachek says those women
who expect to work intermit
tently choose an occupation
that will minimize their loss
es. “This isn’t the kind of
choice women make by figur
ing it all out on paper, but it’s
the kind of thinking implicit in
our society," he says.
Polachek doesn’t deny the
possibility of discrimination
in hiring and promoting prac
tices, but he says, it is econo
mically unsound to discrimi
nate purely on the basis of
personal bias. He says discri
mination is the result of the
socialization process or mar
raige structure.
Given two equally qualified
people of opposite sex apply
ing for the same job, Polachek
says, the man may be selected
over the woman because if she
has a child, society says she is
the one who probably will quit
work to care for it, or if her
husband is transferred, she
will quit work to move with
him.
"So, to maximize their pro
fits, the firm is more likely to
hire the man.”
Polachek’s research deals
strictly with the economics of
the differences in occupation
between the sexes. “Previous
studies of discrimination have
negelected to look at the sup
ply side of the question,” he
explains. "When the govern
ment sees the difference in
occupation structure, they
take it as proof of discrimina
tion. A quota system was
developed as the answer to the
pruuiem.
"I say that might not be the
most efficient way to solve the
problem as long as females
themselves choose to partici
pate in the labor force inter
mittently. Perhaps more day
care centers would be a better
solution.
"If women were to have full
commmitment to the labor
force,” he says, “the number
of women professionals would
increase by 35 percent, the
number of women in manage
rial professions would more
than double, and women in
unskilled occupations would
decrease by more than 60
percent.”
There is still the question.
Polachek adds, about whether
women expect to spend a lot of
lime ai nume anu so select ail
occupation with the lowest
depreciation of skills, or if she
is in a low level job, and that
allows her to drop out of the
labor force with greater ease
"It probably works both
ways,” he says.
The pattern Polachek sees
in me iuiure js yuungei wo
men making a greater com
mitment to the labor force and
therefore making different oc
cupational choices. With more
training, their entry level wou
ld change and these upward
changes would continue
throughout their life cycle.
