BO OT be gd pe tp Avent ets iro sate cai Bia BY JO ALDWINCKLE Women's Editor of The Times Isn't science wonderful! Not yet having mastered the of a roller blind, imagine my amazement at the floor to enable the housewife to sweep behind it. The demonstration was held in Toronto for the benefit of the press and radio last month and I saw a petite blonde steer a big 14-cubiec foot refrigerator-freezer out from its recess with her I simply had to try it and it worked, no strings, no mirrors, no coupons -- but how? I wheedled the secret out of Mr. E. V. Rippingille Jr., president of Frigidaire Products of Canada. "Scientists have come to the rescue of the ho with the application of a piece of space-age engineering to the problem of refrigerator moving. Their solution: a re- frigerator that floats on a cushion of air, enabling it to be moved single-handed by. the most diminutive housewife. It's based on a similar principle to that employed by hovercraft." ; The new refrigerator is identical in appearance to the standard unit, the only difference is a concealed connec- tion behind the base plate of the refrigerator into which is the blower attachment of a household vacuum cleaner. When the vacuum is switched on, its jet of air is forced through a special pad located under the refrig- erator, forming an air cushion between the unit and the floor, Like Ivory -- It Floats Although the amount by which the refrigerator is raised above the surface is too small to be measured by the naked eye, it enables it to be virtually floated across the floor. The unit is designed to keep the refrigerator level at all times, with no tendency to tilt even when fully loaded. So there it is, a refrigerator on a launching pad. Since this principle can be applied to almost anything in- eluding jet planes would someone invent one for the piano? When it comes to moving things the man-power shortage is acute and I think I've got some Christmas decorations back there. More good news from the General Motors family. An article in the New York Times states that GM will in- clude six safety items as standard equipment on all its 1966-model passenger cars. Many of the items previously were standard only on some GM cars and optional on others. The six items will be rear seat belts, padded instru- ment panels, back-up lights, outside left-hand rear-view mirror, dual-speed windshield wipers and washers and sun visors. Frederic G. Donner, chairman of the board, and James M. Roche, president, said in a brief statement an- nouncing the new standard safety equipment that the pro- gram "continues the evolutionary improvement in safety carried out over the years by incorporating as standard equipment a number of items previously available at option." I can remember when we didn't have heaters or de- frosters and a trip to Toronto in the wintertime often meant taking along a hot water bottle and driving with the window down. I think it was about ten years ago, at one of the elegant Motorama openings that I made the unpopular remark that I believed the average woman would rather have more safety devices than fancy ash- trays and extra chrome trim and I still believe it. A 'Shocking' Innovation I still don't know why we have speedometers that register up to 120 miles an hour when the speed limit on our highways is 65 Could som invent a gadget that would conduct an electric tingling in the foot on the accelerator when the speed reached, say 70 miles an hour, that would become more insistent with increasing Speed over that mark and unbearable over 90. Might this not serve to awaken a drowsy driver whose foot gets heavier and heavier on the accelerator? Consulting en- gineers invited, Like fire and water, speed is:a good servant but a bad master and as one wag put it: "It's no use having a, tiger in the tank if there's a jackass at the wheel."

Perceptions should be keen, and you should be able to figure out many more efficient and realistic ways to further your goals than in the past. Don't strive for the unreasonable, however.

FOR THE BIRTHDAY If Monday is your birthday, your horoscope indicates that time and effort expended within the next few weeks on long- pending job and-or business af- reasons why many wives want to work, "I read yi umn with in- terest," the writer of today's letter said. "But when you try to suggest that wives today feel they want to work in to lexpand their opportunities, find a new interest, fulfill them- selves, earn money, put their time to good use or see what they can do with their abilities, I feel you're missing the entire point of womanhood, : MEANINGFUL ROLE "A. young mother wth a baby," he said, 'doesn't have time to think how much she'd like to have the things you're suggesting in your column, In- stead, she finds she has them Seg role she was meant to fill." As a woman who has had babies (three of them), I'm first to say having babies--and the blessings and privileges they bring -- does (1) expand women's opportunities, (2) give them a new interest in life, (3) provide a rich way in which to fulfill themselves (4) lead them into opportunities to put their time to good use' and (5) chal- lenge all their abilities if they do their best-with motherhood. In fact, there are few things in life that quite measure up to the moments when a mother sees her first baby for the first time, feels a small hand grasp her hand, hears a baby-sized "Ma-Ma" and watches a first faltering step. POINT OVERLOOKED But if there's a point that is overlooked in discussing the the subject at hand, that is the realistic fact that babies aren't babies forever. The hand that grasps a young mother's wants to let go as the child builds a life of its own, So unless she builds, too,while her children build their lives, the time will ultimately come when she will stand alone in her tottering world and wonder what to do. When that comes, a many mothers will have 30 years ahead in which to be pro- ductive in a world where much needs to be done, And so I pose the question to men and women alike: If, as mothers, we do not pre- pare or provide ourselves with outside interests and jobs that: (1) Expand our own oppor- More To Womanhood Than Raising Babies tunities in a world that can use all our efforts-- (2) Give vs new and renewed interests in life-- (3) Help us to respect our- selves and feel fulfilled-- (4) Lead us into good ways to use our time and earn the money we may need-- _ (5). Encourage us to develop and use our best abilities and talents, then what are we ex- pected to do when our babies are on their own?
