After talking with Ruth Richards, you are certain she has discovered the secret way to stretch the day's 24 hours into many more. As wife of Dr. Frank Richards, a Lansing physician, she manages a he du led "un-scheduled" household. She is quick to tell you about their children: Betsy, Mrs. Richard Ortquist, who with 2-year-old Leslie Jean will soon be moving from Ann Arbor to Springfieid, Ohio, where her will teach at Wittenberg College; son Brent is married to the former Julie Powers of Lansing and is doing graduate work at the University of Florida at Tallahassee, and Suzanne is a sophomore at East Lansing High School.

Now in operation in other cities in Pennsylvania and Illinois, the program utilizes expert training by doctors, nurses, fire and police departments to educate qualified helpers. An artistic flair is evidenced in Ruth's hobby, interior decorating.

She is a whiz at starting from almost nothing, does the repairing, reupholstering, refinishing, and comes up with something of beauty. Her married children, too, call for services in this line. She even puts the frosting on the cake with a professional touch, though Ruth admits that with the new slim diets, she can't do as much as she once did. Typical in every way of Ruth's life, she does a bit more than is expected in everything. As a doctor's wife she naturally runs a telephone answering service and emergency first aid station but she is also competent to take over in Dr.

Richards' office so that the regular nurse-secretary may have a long weekend. There is a time for studyserious study of the American Indians, and field trips to further the study. And still more time for an occasional golf game, attend professional baseball and football games, too. The Richardses live at 311 Kensington. East Lansing.
