Today's Woman Must Know
How To Type, Drive Car
.. By Ruth Millet, NEA____] is master of a typewriter and
“If I could teach my daugh- an automobile.
Livelihood
The typrvri er will take care
of her if she ever has to earn
ter only two skills,” writes a
modem mother, “I'd see that she
knows how to run a typewriter
and how to drive a car.”
Maybe she’s got something
there. Grandma could get by real
well If she knew how to cook
and how to sew. That was her
personal security.
But a woman today is better
prepared to face the world if she
Square Dance Club
Formed At Pyron
A new square dance club was
formed at Pyron last week
with about 50 members present.
A name is to be chosen at the
next meeting.
J. L. Light was elected presi-
dent, Elmer Henry of Herm-
leigh vice-president, and Mrs.
Dale Hess secretary-treasurer.
Jack Fomby of Sweetwater,
who has been teaching the
square dance school at Pyron,
helped form the club. A big
square dance is now being plan-
ned for the near future.
Aim of the organization is to
become “one of the finest and
largest in West Texas.”
An open invitation is extended
to anyone who wishes to join,
according to officers.
Mrs. Robert Massey

her own living, for knowing how
to type is as good job insurance
as a girl car have.
And the modern woman's new
freedom is more tied up with
knowing how to drive a car
tran we generally admit.
At Husband’s Mercy
The wife who can’t drive a car
is at her husband's mercy. She
goes just where he wants or is
willing to take her—and prac-
tically nowhere else.
But the woman who can drive
can pile the kids in the family
car and get away from her own
four walls.
More Important
It’s no longer necessary for
every woman to know how to
sew. It’s nice, but it’s no essen-
tial. Plenty of women today who
couldn’t whip up an apron are
successful homemakers.
It’s not even necessary for a
woman to know much about
cooking. The package mix, froz-
en foods, and canned goods have
made cooking simple enough so
an eight-year-old can turn out
a tasty meal.
Men Don’t Agree
No man is expected to agree
with these notions.
For it’s the homemakir.ig arts
that cater to his comfort.
But thousands of women owe
their freedom from four walls to
the automobile and their secur-
ity to the typewriter.
And they wouldn't trade the
ability to type a neat letter or
drive the family car for the abil-

CONGRATULATIONS
The mollusk in particular has inspired Berthold, a style
director of the Hair Fashions Council of America, to give
fashion-wise girls their new “shell cuts."
The mollusks graceful curves and clean-cut outlines
have further inspired New York's Berthold to mould girls'
hair into shell-like contours, as the style pictured (right)
shows.
For this shell style, hair is parted at the side. Front
the narrower side of the parting, hair is curved back sleekly
toward the neck. From the other side of the parting hair is
rolled to curve with the head. This curve was inspired by
the seashell’s shapely contours (left). 0
To duplicate this shell s one and only curl, a strand j
N of hair, coiled to match, is lodged above the model’s ear.
