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

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. Statistic showed that
freshmen from SHS did as well la
Mfher education Institotions as
students from other schools, i But
the percentage of failores la the
colleges Indicates that somethipf Is
amiss. 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

from algebra or Latin or chemist'

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.

The U. S. consulate-general closed
late Friday and the embassy
planned to go on a commuter
basis from the nearby British col
ony of Hong Kong tomorrow due
to the communist advance on this
Chinese nationalist capital.
Acknowledging communist cap
ture of Tayu. 170 miles northeast
of Canton, the nationalist defense
ministry said the situation on that
front was "unchanged." However,
Tayu's fall leave virtually open an
easy valley road to Kukong, 70
miles west
Kukong is on the railway only
120 miles north of Canton, and
military observers said the strug
gle for Canton itself could be
considered ? begun when the reds
reached that point Its loss would
isolate from Canton the 200,000-
man army of Gen. Pal Chung-Hsi,
now opposing the reds near Heng
yang, 263 miles north of the capi
tal.
The defense ministry said Pai
had thrown a red army back
about 50 miles northwest of Heng-
yang, but acknowledged the com
munis ts were mustering fresh
forces to try to turn his west
ern flank.

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

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.

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."
