These may be either decorated or plain, silvered or bisque. An- tique poly chrome, brass and bronze, gilded wood, and majo- lica (a kind of pottery) are other good lamp base materials.

Russian Mothers In Hassle Over Fashions For Schoolgirl By JOHN BEST MOSCOW (CP)--"Our neigh- bor Darya Ivaniva had a hard life. So now she tries to give an easy life to her daughter" Thus began a letter to the newspaper Vercherniya Mos- kva--Evening Moscow--on the universally controversial sub- ject of schoolgirl fashions and modes, It was one of a series run by the riewspaper in response to a broadside from one highly critical reader who demanded to. know why school administra- _ tions permit girls to organize 'themselves the way they do. 'Manicures and unthinkable hair styles" were two things complained about. » "They compete in dresses them. 1 know a student who has smart dresses which even the teachers never wear... ."

While her prob- lem appears to stem from the habit of overeating, ingrained at a time when she was lonely, there is more to it than that. Her letter, condensed: "Tt is hard to explain what my problem actually is. A year ago when our family moved across country I took out my shyness and problems.in school (not studies, but meeting peo- ple) in overeating. I knew no one, so spent the whole lunch hour alone--eating. When I got home I would gorge. I have al- ways liked to eat, but it was never a compulsion until this last move. "T am now settled in school, so my reason for stuffing has been taken away. I went on a diet, lost 20 pounds, but over the summer put the pounds back on, plus more. Now, for no apparent reason, I go into these times when I gorge. If I veer from my diet a tiny bit, I go hog wild. "Why do I eat this way? It's feriority complex, which is no help to my shyness." Your letter reveals that you have difficulty in finding a com- fortable way of relating to oth- ers. You try to make out that everything is fine now. Ob- viously it is not, for you are suffering inwardly from an un- satisfied "hunger." Your true hunger is for warm, happy friendships. You can go along for awhile, then you get to feel- ing desperate. What to do? Take your cour- age in hand and make a real effort to get into activities.

Un- less you take measures to ful- fill your inner longings, you. will be subject to these desperate pe- riods and pressures. Be alert to the fact that you are attempting to assuage your) inner emptiness with food. What you are missing can't be fixed with food. As you state in your letter, when you are dieting you feel happy, at peace with your- self, with your mother and with God. But because you are not taking measures to fill the void of companionship in your life, these desperate feelings crop up periodically and you feel com- pelled to gorge. Now here is the encouraging part, When you make an effort to get into activities, other op- portunities will present them- selves. Slimming down will make an enormous difference, too. If you cannot get going on your own, seek professional help. A session or two with the school counselor or a specialist can give you needed enlighten- ment. This will not be a drawn- out process. You are young and flexible . . . and eager for life. 'Going To The By ROBERTA ROESCH A few months ago, we dis- cussed in this space how women can "go to the dogs" as one good opportunity for either hob- bies or jobs. We've met several women since that time, too, who liter- ally have done just that. And one we talked to today was at- tractive Elinor Covi of River Edge, N.J. WIFE AND MOTHER The wife of a suburban busi- nessman and the mother of two sons, Eli, as everyone calls her, is running her own firm, "'Misty Dawn Bedlingtons." She breeds and sells Bedlingtons, grooms them in her cellar workroom and exhibits them in shows. "T started this work a few years ago when I suddenly real- ized that as my boys grew older, they would be less de- pendent on me," Eli said. "One of my boys is now in college. My other son is 10 years old." To get in line ahead of time for that day that comes to all mothers, Eli Covi. made her start by looking for a type of dog that wo be interesting to breed yet fit in with her ~|family's way of life. A 'NATURAL' FOR HER "Actually, going into the dog business was as natural for me as barking is for a dog," Eli said. "I know a lot about them from years of owning them. "Also, I felt breeding, groom- ing and showing dogs could be a family interest as well as a business," Eli went on. "This was an important consideration to me, too, because we have al- ways tried to do things to- gether. However, we do try to maintain individual interests too. "Another consideration," she said, "was the fact that for two months every summer we live on our family boat. In order to 'continue living that way, I knew I would need a business I could ston in the summer except for taking orders. I also knew that if I went into the dog business, I'd have to have a breed that would be a good boating dog. *Bedlingtons are just wonder- HEAT WITH OIL: DIXON'S OIL 313 ALBERT ST. 24-HOUR SERVICE 723-4663 SERVING OSHAWA OVER 50 YEARS Bless you, honey!

When the next oné comes along, we'll call it 'Storm.' 'If you love animals the dog business has a lot in its favor for women," Eli said, "'You can adjust it to your own time and it doesn't take you away from your children while they are still at home with you. In fact, it brings you closer to them if it's a family interest. FIRST PUPPIES "In our family, we've had some wonderful experiences working with our dogs," she fin- ished. "But the greatest mo- ment of all was when our very first litter of puppies arrived. I'll never forget how wonderful it was. "And when my young son felt the same way, it made it doubly wonderful."
