12 FRATERNITY teria on the skin. What a boon for the sickroom too! Much less danger of infection when modern bacteriostats are put to work. And a simple little thing like the aspirin, the magic ; pill that people take for colds, headaches, nerves. Tiny solution for giant, oldfashioned problems. Health is on the upswing. Doctors understand so much more about diets, vitamins, exercise, recreational needs. Overweight — a serious threat to health — is becoming passe. Does that mean passing up your sweetened, energizing cups of tea or coffee? No ... it means you use saccharin and sip slimness with every cup. Clothes. Who grunts and groans over ironing boards anymore, in this enlightened age of wash and wear? Textile blends of natural and synthetic fibers have gifted the homemaker with fabrics that perform — as hardy as they are beautiful. No more tears over bleach-damaged materials, relics of a vanishing past. Dry chlorine bleach today is fast, harmless to fabrics, and is safe for lingerie, diapers, your most precious washables. Pop everything into the trusty washing machine and go on to another chore! Scrubbing floors on hands and knees went out when vinyl floor tile and carpeting of synthetic fibers came in. The vacuum cleaner, the damp mop are pushed and swished with no strain on the sacroiliac. The enlightened manager of the household re-decorates with easy maintenance materials from floor to ceiling . . . the better to conserve her energies. New products have freed the wife to multiply her jobs. Besides caring for the family, cooking, cleaning and making beds . . . today’s woman has time for interior decorating, tutoring the children, sharing her husband’s business problems and doing a bang-up job of public relations for the whole household. To all this, she cheerfully adds comfort, love and warmth to a home . . . plus bonuses of loyalty and devotion. You can’t put a money value on that. If you ever had to measure it — it equals what she thinks of YOU. WILL A GOVERNMENT FELLOWSHIP TO STUDY ABROAD DELAY MY NATURALIZATION? Question: I was admitted for permanent residence in the United States approximately one year ago and have just been awarded a fellowship by an agency of the United States government to study certain matters abroad. I would like to go, but wish to be naturalized as soon as possible and want to know whether my trip will interfere with my naturalization. Answer: You can safely go abroad. A provision of the Immigration and Naturalization Act preserves residence for naturalization purposes in the case of persons employed by or who are under contract of the United States government. Your research fellowship from the government would come within that category. However, prior to leaving, you must make an application to the Immigration Service. On the basis of the facts you present, it will undoubtedly grant your application.
