Prize Babies Enter Babies In Baby Show Rv Leonard Leddlns ion ASBURY PARK. N. J., Aug. 20 (p) Charming babies might grow ud to be anything Venuese, Adonises, or even as you and I. But there's one thing you have to say for charming babies: they usually grow up to have charm lng babies themselves. This incidental intelligence comes from the local authorities , running Asbury Park's famous 39 Tear old national. baby parade. To support their point, these ex- rrts point out that many of the 500 listed for this year's baby parade next Wednesday are se nri and third generation ent rants. rrlaes Getting Bigrer Another trend noted about ba by parades is the inflationary spi ral. The prizes keep getting big ger and bigger. What started it all was an As bury Park policeman who didn't like to see kids running all over " the boardwalk of this oceanfront resort back in the summer of 1890. The story 1 that he suggested "a nrocession erf mothers and their children in orler to get them In th bit of wjalking behind each other." Iu the 59 yejars since, only two world wars and a national depres- slon have interrupted the Asbury Park parade. Wednesday s compe tition will mark the 45th renewal. The parade's original roster of 100 entrants competed for a box of taffy. Now more than 1,000 en- "ter each year to compete before crowds of 150,000 for a new car, a college scholarship and an as sortment of prizes valued by the sponsors at thousands of dollars. Entries Cost up to $1,500 The judging is done on the basis of half credit for health, person ality and general appearance of the child and half for the effect iveness and Ingenuity" f the cos- . tume or float. City officials estimate that soma of the backgrounds prepared by parents for their young entrants DIVI COSl as IllUtll ma i, ram. A float with six live sheep roam- i lnc a pastureland setting didn't rate as too unusual last year. : Proud parents usually start ' months before the parade to get the floats into shape and then .have them shipped hero for the how. Albuquerque, N.M, founded in 1706, was named for the viceroy of New Spain, the Duke of Al- burquerque. but tho first "i" of the name fell into disuse. Whdseturnto inapthe picture?

Maxine Buren Careful Of Subjects in School Needed (Editor's pole: Early this month a study was made by The States man of the ' record Salem high . school gradaates made la Orecoa rolleces.

This article Investigates the coarso of study in Salem high and junior high schools with the latent of showing how a analined student can best prepare himself for col lege.) By Margnerite Wrteht Staff Writer. The Statesman To the bright - eyed youngsters entering the ninth grade m Par rish or Leslie Junior High schools this fall. June. 1957, must seem long way off.; That is the year ma ny of them s will be graduating from college.; j But the long road to a bachelor of arts or science degree leads through several years of cturicu lar underbrush, and the forward looking teenager must keep his goal clearly in mind if he would avoid many i detours into Irrele vant subjects and so-called; cinch courses. The time to plan for col lege Is not in the spring of 1953,; when these hopefuls will get their high school diplomas; It is this September as they enter; their freshman year. Ninth graders will not have much say about their course of study until they reach the senior high school. : Five out or the si? class periods in Leslie and Par rish are reserved for the required subjects: physical education and health, general mathematics, sci ence. English and social Science (world geography and "oriental tion to school and life"). New this fall is an algebra course in both junior highs for interested stu? dents. Other: electives are indus trial arts, home economics,? music, art. band and orchestra. ? Many Free Periods Only half the available periods throughout the following three high school : years are filled with mandatory subjects: English, P. X. biology. IT. S. history and Ameri can problems. That means the high schooler theoretically can select from six to 18 courses to fill the two or threi available free1 per iods in three years of two semes ters each; There are about 70 courses to choose from and added to that profusion of studies aire seven separate student body ac tivities. 10 athletic teams and 30 clubs and organizations In which he mav participate. i Obviously, then, the prospective collegian's big problem Isj choos ing the electives that wilfbest pre pare him for college work. It Is not enough that he should simply pass the required courses so he will be eligible for entrance to Oregon schools of higher educa tion. He must decide whether he wants a thin smattering of this and that, a little knowledge of many things, or whether he should concentrate on learning a lot about a few pet subjects. Me must determine how much time he will give to home work and tho pur suit of good grades and how much he wants of the extra-eurricular trimmings like football games and proms. ' i " j Extensive Background t Chances are tho average teen ager has only indefinite ideas about his llfework. Ho has not tried out his special abilities and a career which may sound excit ing one day looks duU tho next. Vocational guidance tests might help but his best plan, probably, la to gain a wide background of college prep courses that will giye him some Indication of hll ability to handle the more difficult sub jects. Certainly if ho shies away " I ; fit fosaamy aho SIJ5 plat M FA' I ! If ame m rcxru auo tmor 04mt&-4'ffl f?mmmtj untie . . . We re off for a two On our reminder pad we from algebra or Latin or chemist' ry or English his prospects for success in college are less. The tendency for the high schoolers who knows what his col lege major will be is to narrow his background tb whatever subjects interest him most If ho special izes in his favorites, electing ag riculture or music or home econo mics, he will be handicapped by neglect of the fundamentals. No matter what his profession, he will have to know how to read and write effectively and . a solid grounding in arithmetic teems es sential. Knowledge of typing will be a convenience in college and educators of the old school will advise him to sample the formal disciplines. World history, a foreign lang uage, physics or chemistry, alge bra or geometry or trig these are courses which, in addition to Ithe required subjects, should give the would - be colleger good ex ercise in high school. And if more Salem graduates entered Oregon schools with that background, the ratio of college freshmen who fail in English or math (almost 25 per cent) would surely drop. Cohen Knew Police Tapped His Telephone LOS ANGELES, Aug. 20 -(JP-Gambler Mickey Cohen, whoso Brentwood home was wired for sound by police, says he thinks the law should reimburse him for more than 3,000 hours of classical music he played into the micro phones.. "Sure, I knew-all the time the cops had a 'bug' under my divan." Mickey informed a reporter. "So I made a careful selection of Bach, Chopin and Mendelssohn for the police at their listening post Tho music helped drown out the sound of our voices." Mickey said there isn't anything incriminating in tho scores of re cordings that were made. U. S. Attorney James M. Carter is combing through the transcripts and says ho will present to the grand Jury Aug. 31 aU evidence he believes worthy of its consid eration. He said that Asst. Atty, Gen.

Cordon Asks Hydro-Electric Dam Policy Set WASHINGTON, Aug. 20 JPy Senator Cordon (R-Ore) called upon congress Thursday to enact a carefully spelled out national pol icy for handling power generated at government hydro - electric dams. Tho law Is silent. Cordon told the senate, on whether the gov ernment has a right to build aux iliary steam plants. The issue should not have to be decided, he said, in action on ap propriation bills. Cordon spoke in support of committee amendments to the $590,000,000 Interior department appropriations bill which deny house-approved funds for-a num ber of steam plants and govern ment transmission lines in the west, southwest and northwest. He said he is opposed to the government going into the bus iness of developing power at steam plants "if it is not absolutely nec essary." He urged that the government neogiate contracts with private power companies to obtain the benefit of their steam plants and. transmission lines already con structed. 'Blue' River Poisons Fish FOREST GROVE, Aug. 20-P)-Scoggins creek, which has myster iously turned a kind of navy blue, was being investigated by the state sanitary authority and the state game commission Friday. The water not only is blue, but it's unpopular as well. Fish have been found dead, and some live stock have been turning up their muzzles at it Tests have indicated the water hasn't enough oxygen content for fish. One theory is that a hard board manufacturing company has dumped too much waste. Another blames gravel plants. O. W. Frost general manager of tho forest fiber products company, said he did not think the waste from his plant could bo respon sible. The waste consists of wood sugar, an amber-colored substance, and is not poisonous, he said. Uncle Sam produced more than 11 million bales of cotton, 308 mil lion pounds of wool, and 973 mil lion pounds of rayon in 1947.. ; ! i i a i. i NorbladToId U.S. Able to Pay Off Bonds WASHINGTON, Aug. 20 -iJPf Oregon's Rep. Walter Norblad. who popped up with the idea that this country might be unable to redeem its savings bonds, has re ceived an answer from President Truman. The president said the govern ment would have no difficulty paying off its bonds. "No safer obligations exist than U. S. sav ings bonds," he commented. The Oregon republican had ex pressed fear that the growing public debt might make it im possible to redeem its obligations. President Truman said savings bonds represented only a small fraction of the total debt ope rations. "Prudent debt manage ment," he added, "will continue to handle all maturing obliga tions." The president added that the hoped to gradually reduce the public debt during prosperous years. "I vetoed on three occa sions, he pointed out. "meas ures deducing taxes at a time when the economic condition of the country, permitted continued retirement of the public debt." in Before, during and after classes you'll be bright as a dollar in these easy wearers.
