TWO MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Monday, August 8, 1955 Society and Clubs Industrious Teacher Works Out System To Finance College for Bright Students By FRED ZAVATTERO United Press Correspondent Vashon, Wash. (U.R) The worry season is on for parents of high school graduates. How to finance college educations for their youngsters this fall? William S. Lane, an industri ous high school teacher, has the answer. He's sent 40 boys, none of them his, to college. And it hasn't cost him a nickel. He gets them scholarships. '"I use an educational 'double play' system," explained Lane, a science teacher at Vashon Is land High school. "It's a com bination of bright student and fat scholarship." New! Cafe Curtains " !

Lane has set quite a record for himself and his small school since starting his program eight years ago. He's obtained more than $70,000 worth of free edu cation for his pupils. The high school, situated on an island in Puget Sound, seldom has more than 20 students in its entire student body. Tough Competition "With almost 150,000 scholar ships offered each year at col leges and universities through out the nation, there's no reason boys can't get help," the teacher declared. Although many scholarships are available, competition is tough. Especially for those of fered at such places as Massa chusetts Institute of Technology and Carnegie Tech. Even Naval ROTC opportunities are limited. Any student who thinks he can qualify for a scholarship is invited to consult with Lane Often, Lane seeks out promising students. He gives them a series of mental and aptitude tests to help them select the right course and school. A student may take his first college en trance examination a year be fore graduation. Academic grinds are poor scholarship risks, and Lane helps boys correct any social or per sonality problems. "I've had to persuade a few mothers to be less protective and let their sons develop outside activities," the teacher said. "Some mothers protest for awhile, but they finally see the need for personal freedom." Girls Poor Risks Girls are also counted poor scholarship risks. At least until they get to the last year or so of college. Too many marry be fore completing the second year. Sometimes, in spite of all Lane's efforts, a boy doesn't get the school or scholarship he wants. "Then we look for jobs in the same line of work the boy plans to do after college," Lane said. Usually a boy works a year, saves his money; and then en rolls. Quite often he'll get a scholarship in his second or third year." Lane's work doesn t end when the boys get to college. A num ber of them return to the island during summer vacation for help in their studies. Through extra work by student and teacher, a boy can maintain a high record. "I'm more at home with sci ence and engineering students," Lane said, "but when one boy wanted to join the ministry, we got him a scholarship too."

My sniff-sniff almost de veloped into a full - throated growl, and no wonder. The perfumes this year are toying with man's animal in stincts. To verify this news wafting across the channel from Paris I cornered Fred in his odorous labortory. He is the only English member of the So ciete Technique de Parfumers de France. "Yes," he said, "we're after the animal instincts although I doubt if that term is really correct. Let's say we're using 'sex attractants" as never be fore, in perfumes for women and to a lesser degree in lotions for men." Perfume bottles look so pret ty. The stuff smells so nice. It's hard to realize the earthy, some times shocking theories that lie behind the industry. An African witch doctor com pounding a love potion might go about it more directly, .but the perfume industry does the same thing behind the veil of long scientific words. "Humans," said Wells "are at tracted by one another's scents whether they think so or not. The attraction of what we call personal notes is known all through the animal world. It's possible to extract an odorous substance from the. female but terfly that will lead male butter flies off their course. "Musk deer, the civet cat, the beaver all use powerful sex at tractants to win their mates. We steal them from the animals." Wells explained that the per fumer uses a "hidden nucleus" of these sex attractants and cun ningly conceals it behind the more respectable odors of rose, jasmine, gardenia or other flow ers. Personal Perfumes The nose inhales the flower fragrance first, which is pleas ant enough. Then the powerful "psychological appeal" takes hold. This could be castoreum from the beaver, ambergris from the whale, or a substance called exaltolide because it has a lift ing or exalting effect. "Ideally," Wells said, 'every woman should have a personal perfume. If such a thing were posible she should get an ol factory analysis just as she can get a cosmetics analysis now. Then the perfumer could pre pare a. formula for her using scents which belong to her alone." Wells said men and women used, to wear perfume mainly to please themselves but now both DeMILLE'S SOW WEBS Hollywood (U.R) Wfhiri, De Mille, 33, adopted son of di rector Cecil B. De MiH; and Mrs. Margaret Belfrano Van Fossen, 30, were married yteter day at the Huntington-Sharaton hotel in Pasadena. sexes are using it to try to im press the other, the mile and female perfumes are becoming nd more alike. With this he went back to mixing sex attractants, most of which, he confided, are still on his "secret" list Dr. Robert E.
