HOUSEWiVES, ALERT
TjAVE YOU been watching the
**ads for dress and suit sales?
Housewives atert! for clothes-prices
are going higher and higher, with
the government prying up that lid on
retail price-controls. So hurry, hur-
ry, hurry to your favorite dress-
store! And if you can't find just
what you want for that spring ward-
robe, why not whip up your own?
Home sewing has become the
American woman's top hobby, and
a most practical
one it is these
days of mounting
clothes prices. To-
day 23,500,000 wo-
men are stretch-
ing their budgets
by making their
own clothes—and
many of their home furnishings.
There never was or never will be
a better time to join the 28,500,000
than today. Tomorrow, with the
drain for defense needs, fabrics
may not be so plentiful, but today
there's a larger selection than ever
before. Wool jersey, double-layered
for the tubular treatment, flannels,
colorful prints in both rayon and
silk are alt available for spring.
mBBONS AND BOWS
Plentifu) too are ribbons and
other trimmings to dress up your old
clothes or give that good suit a new
touch, and to furbish the new
clothes you make or buy. There
A
MM#
FEATURE
are patterns galore published in
your newspapers and magazines,
and available at your general or
dry-goods stores. And think of the
saving of cost and taxes!
Even that new bonnet would be
a cinch for your creative imagi-
nation and capable needle. You'd
never see another like it, at least
until your friends asked "Where
did you get that hat? Make me one
like it!"
While you're about it, why not
make your own slip-covers? After
all, they're just chair dresses, aren't
they? Fabrics for slip-covcrs and
drapes are aiso new and many, and
with furniture getting scarcer and
more expensive, why not preserve
what you have with new slip cov-
ers?
As for knitting—that's the one
form of dress-creation possible to
the TV fan.
Larger Number
Of Smat) Town
Students Urged
CHICAGO, 111.—An increase In
the number of medical students
from rural areas was suggested
as a means of increasing the num-
ber of physicians practicing in such
areas. This might be accomplished
either by preferentiat consideration
of applicants from rural commu-
nities or by encouraging and as-
sisting Weil-qualified students from
small towns to attend medical
school.
This opinion was expressed by
Dr. Harold S. Diehl of Minneapolis,
dean of the medical sciences, Uni-
versity of Minnesota. Dr. Diehl
was a speaker at the 47th annual
congress on medical education and
licensure.
Dr. Diehl reported the results of
a study of the present practice
location of 545 graduates of the Uni-
versity of Minnesota medical school
in relation to the type of community
in which they grew up. For the pur-
pose of tabulation and analysis,
communities were divided into three
groups: (1) with a population of
less than 5,000; (2) with a popula-
tion of 5,000 to 100,000, excluding
Rochester, where the Mayo clinic
constitutes a special situation; (3)
Minneapolis, St. Paul and Duluth.
Of the 199 doctors who grew up
In smat! communities of less than
5,000, 116 returned to small towns
to practice. 35 went to towns with
a popuiation of 5,000 to 100.000, and
48 went to one of the three large
cities.
Of the 104 doctors who grew up
in towns of 5,000 to 100,000 popula-
tion, only 25 went to smali towns
and rural communities. Of the 242
who were raised in targe cities,
S3 went into rural community prac-
tice.
This tabluation. Dr. Diehl pointed
out. indicates that the chances of a
student brought up in a small town
of returning to such a town are
more than 2*4 times as great as
the chances of a student from a
large city going into a small com-
munity to practice.
