Page iC-k EUGENE REGISTER-GUARD, Wed., Nov. 28. 1962 Adults Tackle New Method For Reading WASHINGTON (UPD Special courses for adults who can't read well are on the increase and new teaching approaches are in use. Many non-readers are reluc tant to admit their deficiency, so they hesitate to attend for mal classes. . For this reason, television courses in beginning reading have been extremely effective in Baltimore, Md., St. Louis, Mo. and Memphis, Tcnn., reports the National Education Associa tion. ". Hundreds of Philadelphians have learned to read in their own noim-a through a .series of half-hour programs called "Operation Alphabeh" : The course has been so suc cessful that it is being used also 'in 40 other cities. Along with regular viewing of the program, tlhe student docs practice exer cises in an operation alphabet workbook produced by the na tion's tup reading experts. ; Filmed reading courses arc 3ised in many public school speed-reading classes. Many ladult teachers also use mechani cal devices which condition the Student to read at a faster rale -iund help break bad habits such ;s re-reading previous sentences in (I lip reading. Teaching machines soon will !enter adult reading classes, reading experts say. Programs :hlready have been developed for vocabulary improvement. A Jiigh school reading course for .iiso in teaching machines will rbe marketed soon. "Both the teaching machine and the student workbook pro vide an excellent means for in Mivlduallzed adult reading in struction, according to Edwin .31. and Marie P. Smith, authors :Tf a new book "Teaching Jteading to Adults." PETUNIAl pushing curtains- On a pole , Invariably I moKe a. hole t You wouldn't,.

To read about it is apt to be fruitless, because it all depends on one person. Guess who? Try writing down each day what you "must do," "ought to do" and "hope to do." What fun it is to cross off those fin ished chores especially those hope-to-do jobs! Is storage space tight in your kitchen? Sardines may not he comfortable, but they are well organized. Maybe that's a smart tin. Organize that big open space under the sink with one or moro of these ideas: Cleanser rack on tho door, sliding towel bars, removable- step shelf, and portable sliding shelves, now sold at stores. These devices will pack moro into tho space even in a trailer or apartment. And they go with you when you move.

Are chemicals used to control pests on fruits and vegetables a hazard to your family's health? This is controversial. You'd be paying higher prices if chemi cals weren't used, because some of these foods would be scarce. Dr. Virgil Freed, head of OSU's Department of Agricul tural Chemistry, says these chemicals, although poisonous, offer no substantial hazards to humans if used correctly. With out them, "both consumer and fsrmer would suffer. Tho safe ty record has been remarkably good. What does this mean to you i homemnkers?

Many of the building contractors in the group plan to construct exten sive housing and department rievehiDments in these Central American countries that need them so badly. It's both "hello" and "good bye" at the Alexander Stapleton home. Their son, Alex Jr., has ar rived from Germany where he has been stationed and plans to remain in Eugene following completion of his service duty. He hopes to enroll next term at University of Oregon. The Stapletons had received word that he was leaving and would arrive by boat but last- minutc changes enabled him to fly in and surprise them earlier this month. Elizabeth, the Stapletons' daughter, has written that they are finally settled in their new homo in Gilbert, Ariz., where her husband, 2nd Lt. Jcrald Pot ter, is stationed with the U.S. Air Force. The couple was mar ried this fall. Jerry, who was graduated from University of Oregon in June, is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Howard Potter of Vida. Lloyd J. Churchill, who re cently completed four years duty with the U.S. Air Force, has been touring the cast coast prior to returning to Eugene for the Christmas holidays. Mr. Churchill is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Churchill of Eugene.

Tho top shower head installed six feet above the floor is the right height for Dad and the teen-ager son. But the second shower head installed about four feet above the floor is a more suitable height for moth er and daughter who want a shower without drenching their hairdo. And the family's young est will feel more comfortable if that nice warm "rain" falls from not too high up. Remember, too, to include soap niche at each shower tak er's level as well as in the usual position for the tub bather. I ( LOCK ff ' (11 tives in Maine, Connecticut, New Hampshire and Florida.

I hope you'll publish this. It might wake up some of these pushy parents. Why don't they let their children enjoy their childhood instead of rushing them into adult life? My daughter is barely 12. She is in the sixth grade in public school. Every Friday is "dress up" day. 1 let her wear her good silk dress, little heels, no makeup. Bless my soul if some of her little friends didn't show up in spike heels! .One girl admitted they were her mother's. They wore scoop necklines, make-up, mascara, nylons and the works! Now my daughter thinks we are "babying" her be-ause she can't dress like the other girls. How does a mother fight this trend? BAFFLED DEAR BAFFLED: One of the most difficult jobs of a responsible parent is to follow his own convictions and ignore the persistent pleadings of a child who wants to "be like the other kids." This letter, from a reader, says It better than I. DEAR ABBY: Please tell mothers whose daughters beg to "be like the other girls" to take care: My mother was "old-fashioned." No make-up until I was 18 and then very sparingly. No heels or nylons until my last year in high school. I wasn't allowed to "go steady" in high school and I had to be in by midnight when I had a date. I wept and felt "babied," but now 1 am grateful for my mother's good sense. The girls I envied and who were allowed to look 20 when they were 15 are now bored, bitter and burned out. Many are already divorced at 22! I graduated from college in June, and am engaged to be married at Christmas! If a mother wants to do her daughter a favor, she will slow her up. NOT SORRY DEAR ABBY: Our son Insists on sending us Mother's Day and Father's Day cards signed by both himself and his "girl friend." This is very irritating to both his mother and me as we do not care for his "girl" and he knows it. They are not officially engaged, thank heavens, and we consider their com bined signatures on his cards improper and a breach of eti quette. Are we right in resenting our son's actions? Respectfully, MY WIFE AND I DEAR MY: Call a spade a spade and admit that it's the GIRL who irritates you, not the breach of etiquette. You could throw the etiquette book at your son, but I wouldn't advise it, because if they are serious his next card could be signed "Mr. and Mrs." officially. What's on your mind? For a personal reply, send a self addressed, stamped envelope to Abby, Box 3365, Beverly Hills, Calif. For Abby's booklet, "How To Have A Lovely Wedding," send 50 cents to ABBY, Box 3365, Beverly Hills, Calif.
