“The. place of the famfly in our ‘society’ 4 changing but it 1¥“not Josing its importance” declared Prof. B, F. Timmons of the Unijversity of Illinois here today. SUOTHE SOCIGIORY CC PrOTessoY was guest speaker at the afternoon session of the Indianapolis Couns oll of Women's monthly meeting An Ayres’ Auditorium. ; “The basic social organization for molding young, plastic human beings into tke kind of personalities wanted for more self-ful-Alling and socially competent lvtng is still the family,” he asserted. Calling family life education “a community partnership” Prof, Timmons said it was late in appearing among the various areas of study and learning, “This basie preparation far living is just beginning to come into its own.

Importance of Service He stressed .the importance of this service in these days of rapid moving' about over ihe woiid when young people meet and marry persons from very different family backgrounds.

Trimly Smart Suit and Blouse Are Just Right

for Job Hunt

This girl meets the job-hunting challenge with meticulous grooming.

Her tailored

By ALICIA HART, NEA Staff Writer THE APPEARANCE a job-hunting girl needs to make is one of trim smartness that looks as though it will last through a work-

ing day.

The reason a tailored suit and blouse, a simple hat and plain

high-heeled pumps qualify

is because such an outfit advertises the

need for the least upkeep on an employer's time

Handbag - Business In Slump

Director Blames Luxury Tax

By JOSEPH ALVAREZ

This is the firsthand ‘report of two Indianapolis entertains ers, Jeanne and Marcia LeFeber, They've just returned from playing a two monthsengagement in the Fairbanks _ Golf and Country Club.

| In the midst of relative {prosperity in other lines, the {woman's handbag industry is {floundering ina ‘depression. According to Max Berkowitz, {co-director ‘of the National Au-| thority for the Ladies’ Handbag Industry, this economic plight is caused by the federal 20 per cent luxury tax every woman must pay when she Buys a purse. The $48 million the government |

only little more than one-tenth of | 1 per cent of all the tax money collected, Yet, says Mr. Berko-

witz, it is a sum large enough to] wreck a $300 million trade,

184 Closed

The tax, he says, has already: ONE: Slashed business as much as 30 to 40 per cent in the last few years, TWO: Bince 1947 has forced about 184 manufacturers to close Most of these are in New York. THREE: Reduced national employment in the industry from

25.000 to 18,000 in the same. pe-

riod. | FOUR: Been responsible for {layoffs during the supposed peakproduction seasons of Easter and

iChristmas, J

| FIVE: Forced many specialty shops to abolish their handbag lines. “One reason the business is so hard hit*is that most establishments are small and have very little capital. Once sales Mr. Berkowitz explained, fellows run out of money.”

“these

p> cannot estimate how much removal of the tax would help our business, but {t would serve as a needed shot in the arm to ‘every level of the trade,” he said.) He is particularly incensed at the ‘government for calling a handbag a luxury. “This is most unfair. A man can carry his be{longings in his pockets, but a woman must have a bag. You are more -apt to see a barefooted; woman on Fifth Ave. than to| see one walking without a purse,” IMr. Berkowitz declared.

“Pneumonia treated time,” Dr. Dorfmann stated, ‘can be readily controlled. Remember that chills. pain in the chest, temperature afd bloody sputum are danger’ signals. Heed them and consult your physician.” Pneumonia, you doubtless know, is ‘caused by .germs. Most pneumonias are due to the small

Industry figures show that each 'woman, on an average, buys two purses a year, “We know,’ says |Mr. Berkowitz, “that If the tax fwere removed, the ladies would buy at least one more bag each year, and quite possibly two.” a second says “the tax hits the small wage earner hardest.” He explained that most bags sold are in the $3 range.

“A housewife will hestiate to

‘buy that bag when she realizes ‘that the 80-cent tax will buy three:

quarts of milk, and the stenographer knows that represents half the price of a pair of stockings,” he pointed out. : Mr. Mittenthal said that the tax has persisted despite the introduction of about 40 bills in Congress aiming to abolish the purse levy. In addition, he said, there

‘have been at least 100 bills seek-

Play Same Tunes

“The same tunes we enjoy are hits up north” say the girls. “And we had lots of requests for the old favorites— waltzes and polkas, Irish num- | pers and schottishes.” The latter is particularly popular because of the many Norwegians in the north country. But a dance studio operated by a young couple from Seattle is giving a real impetus to the Latin dances. Consequently the girls played their full repertoire of .Central and South American numbers. “It was lots of fun. We liked it. The cold was dry. Really we mind Indianapolis weather more than Fairbanks,” assert both girls. They were enthusiastic about the - hospitality of the people. The entourage was housed in one of the log cabins near the club owner's home about

Prices Higher Both food and clothing costs were higher than in the U. 8. A glass of tomato juice set Jeanne back 70c in a restaurant one I morning. Eggs were $1.25 a | dozen and milk 50c a quart.
