Practical Home Ec
Career Women
Housework, Too
A little practice never hurt anyone. So say the women at "228."
Fixing lamp cords and defrosting refrigerators are just two of the
many chores to be coped with when you're running your own
home, and they are getting plenty of experience along tips line.
Unless yo u happen to know
one of the women at "228" or at
tended their, open house, Jan. 21,
you may, not know that this is a
cooperative rooming and board
ing house which 14 young ladies
—most of them secretaries at the
College—call home. The name
stems from its location, 228 W.
College avenue.
The women started the enter
prise about a year ago, and cele
brated their first anniversary
Feb. 1. A large, three-story struc
ture, the house has two bedrooms,
living room and kitchen on
the first floor, three bedrooms
and • a living room on the sec
ond, and two bedrooms, living
room and a den on the third.
Three bathrooms, however, seem
inadequate for taking care of 14
women, who must spend long
hours soaking—ln the t b and
primping before mirrors.
The Women Are Domestic
After they've put away their
typewriters and dictation for the
day, the 14 career women don
aprons and turn domestic. They
do all the cooking and cleaning
themselves, and for the purpose
of using tl - rt kitchen facilities, di
vided themselves in to the "Red"
and "Blue" groups. This is be
cause they use red and blue rub
ber bands around the j * lrs and
bottles in the one refrigerator.
The women make lunch and
breakfast at their leisure, but the
kitchen is large enough to ac
commodate all 14 for dinner. The
Red and Blue groups have sepa
rate tables and menus, and • two
cooks from each group take
charge of dinner. They can relax
in the knowledge that their ef
forts won't be criticized. That is
an unwritten law of the group.
They also take turns with KP
duty, which involves cleaning the
range, laundering dish towels and
table cloths, scrubbing the kit
chen floor and cleaning the cup
boards. The women can always
look forward to a kind of vaca
tion, for each one occasionally
gets a week of luxury with no
chores.
The general cleaning of the
house is done by floors rather than
the red i and blue division. The
rooms are double, so each pair
of women take care of their own
room.. .They cooperate in clean
ing the bathrooms and keeping
the living rooms neat.

Local Druggist
'Helps' Had°
Robert D. Heiser, manager of a
State College drug store, suggest
ed a cartoon which was publish
ed in over 600 newspapers Wed
nesday under Jimmy Hatlo's
"They'll Do It Every Time."
The inspiration for the cartoon
came during the Christmas re
cess, Heiser said. His wife and his
14 year-old daughter,/ Ann, were
walking along a State College
street and Ann was greeting her
friends with a cheery "Hi."
Mrs. Heiser, a former school
teacher, gently reprimanded her
daughter for the use of such
slang. Then, along came L. S.
Hoffman, associate professor of
English composition at the Col
lege.
Before Ann had a chance to
greet him with a refined "How
do you do?" Professor Hoffman
uttered a "Hi" of his own. At
that, Ann turned to her mother
with a look of wonder.
Somewhat modified, this is the
incident that Hatlo selected for
his nationwide cartoon. Doubt
less Hoffman knew little of the
history he was making.
Sigma Nu
Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority
was entertained at a spaghetti
dinner, followed by skits, and
dancing on Saturday afternoon by

Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority
was entertained by Tau Kappa

dinner dancing was held.
