Millions In Loan Funds Said Available to Students Washington There Is more, than 42 million dollars in loan! funds available for college stu-j dents, according to a survey re-j leased by Changing Times, The ; Kiplinger magazine. About half! of this amount is never used, say ! the editors of the magazine, al-! though it is available at reason-! able jates of interest to any ; willing student. ! Student loan iunds are avail able in about two-thirds of our universities and colleges at in terest rales that average about 2 per cent while the student is in college and about 4 per cent when he graduates, the maga zine reports. In most cases, those who borrow have an un limited time after graduation in which to repay. The average college has about $39,000 in reserve for loans to students, and lends about S14, 000 a year. On the average, about 125 students in each col lege apply for and get loans dur ing the school year. Easy to Obtain It is easy to obtain such loans. In 1955, 88 per cent of,, loan ap plications covered in the survey were granted. There is usually a limit on the total amount a studen.t may borrow, but in most cases the amount is in the neigh borhood of $400 to S600 a year. Loans are usually open to anyone who maintains passing grades, as they are granted on the basis of need, rather high scholastic achievement. Of course, students who have schol arships may borrow from loan funds to supplement their in come. Survey results showed that students are reluctant to bor row money to go to college, and that this could be overcome if students were better advised on their personal financial affairs Many needy students are not aware of the amount of money that can be borrowed and the ease with which loans can be arranged. Is it wise for students to bor row to get an education? Yes, say the editors of Changing Times. "A college education is an investment that pays off handsomely for most college students. Measured in dollars and cents, the average college graduates makes more money at the beginning of his career than the average person without a college education earns at the top of his experience." "Certainly the value of a col lege degree can hardly be dis puted," the editors say. "As college enrollment increases, a college diploma becomes a basic requirement for more and more jobs." College presidents are nearly unanimous, according to the sur vey results, in their opinion that students should be willing to borrow to obtain a college edu cation. And in fact, many schools are beginning to require that those who accept scholar ships also borrow from student loan funds to make up the cost of their education, the magazine reports. Information about loan funds can usually be obtained by writ ing to the Director of Admis sions of the college the student wishes to attend. The results represent the most thorough investigation of stu dent loans that has ever been undertaken. A questionnaire was sent to every college and university in the United States. Funds for the study were grant ed by the Kiplinger Foundation, a private educational and chari- SYLVANIA TELEVISION with Exclusive H ALOLIGHT Giant 21" Viewing Screen Dimensional Sound Complete Line of Sylvania Hi-Fi's CITY APPLIANCE, INC. 127 North Central Phone 3-5306 TURNS TO GCLD Paul Parnes of New York gives the golden touch to this three-piece ensemble that combines grey worsted with white and gold linen.

MEDFORD'S BARGAIN CORNER SIXTH AND CENTRAL By ELIZABETH TOOMEY United Press Correspondent New York (U.R) Fashion de signers whose clientele wear rompers have one problem which would horrify Monsier Dior. The customers are getting plumper. Expert stylists work year-around to create new fash ions for babies in the United States, with si2:es based on the government standard baby. But the government's a little behind on the growth of things, according to one of the leading baby v clothes designers. Official figures show that a baby of 10 to 12 months old weighs 22 pounds. "Now babies reach that at Sunday, March 25, 1958 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE ELEVEN Director Says Over-Eating Bad for Health Cincinnati Most bulges are inexcusable! So spoke Dr. Zoe E. Ander son, director, department of re search and nutrition service, National Dairy council', Chicago, to national farm home editors at their annual meeting in Cin cinnati recently. Eating too much food is the chief cause of inexcusable bulges, stated Dr. Anderson. Food means many things to many people. It provides com fort from a cold and gloomy day. It offers comfort for a tele phone, call that didn't come when expected. It adds relief to the feeling of defeat ... to the loss of a loved one. A. few good meals are wonder ful therapy, said Dr. Anderson, but if dependency upon food for comfort extends over too long a period, the result may rob per sons of comfort. Excess eating can actually lead to health prob lems. From Public Health service data on a single weight control study results showed one-sixth of the persons studied had chronic diseases; one-third, between 20 and 24 years of age, were 10 per cent or more overweight; more than three-fourths, between 45 and 54 years of age, were 10 per cent or more overweight. In another study at Iowa State college, results indicated that overweight women complained most frequently about lack of buoyant health, below par feel ing, downgraded vitality, and symptoms of certain chronic dis eases. The same study, stated Dr. Anderson, showed that farm women were more apt to be over weight than urban women. More than half of the farm women studied were 11 per cent or more overeignt, wniie less tnan 3 per cent were underweight. Research has also shown that body weight can be controlled, excess weight lost, and over weight prevented by combining regular moderate exercise with a moderate-calorie diet of palat able everyday foods. Dr. Ander son stated that the National Dairy council had supported re search which'demonstrated this fact. This work was done by Dr. Margaret A. Ohlson at Mich igan State university. Dr. Anderson declared that milk does more for the person on a restricted calorie intake than any other single food. "This means whole milk . not defatted milk." She pointed out that fat is essential in the diet because of the fatty ' acids and vitamins it provides. Dietary fat is not "fattening" if the total calories in the daily diet are not in excess of need. The butterfat in milk and other dairy foods gives a meal "staying power" by slowing digestion and, there by, delaying hunger before the next meal. Weight can be controlled In human beings by limiting food intake and by exercise. New active interests help achieve both. But, warned Dr. Ander son, weight control should not be treated lightly. Guidance should be obtained from the fam ily physician by those persons who have a serious weight con trol, problem. : NEW DESSERT Try this kind of dessert for a change. Cook chunks of peeled tart apples and raisins in small amount of water until tender but not mushy. Drain and com bine with sugar to sweeten, but ter and sprinkling of nutmeg. Place in shallow baking dish and . top with miniature marsh mallows. Bake in hot oven to brown. eight months." Mrs. Frances Fay said. "In some sections of the country the pants are getting too tight." She meant the rompers based on government standards. Mrs. Fay is chief designer for chil dren from birth to three years old for the William Carter com pany. While Christian Dior is busy decreeing the narrow "arrow" silhouette for grown women, Mrs. Fay is quietly experiment ing with plasticized fabric bands around sunsuit legs to prevent "seepage." No Trade "I wouldn't trade places with Dior for anything in the world," the attractive designer said. "When you design a baby shirt that sells 95 thousand dozens then you really know you've made a contribution to Ameri can families." Mrs. Fay has some interesting observations on the fashions in baby clothes as well as the size of her customers. We're dressing children as "miniature adults" now, ; she said, but even that isn't new. "When you look in the mu seums you see the same thing oc curred in Louis XIV's time, she I said. "Then early in this century the fashion was to dress babies : in swaddling clothes, boys and girls alike looked like babies." Now parents want girls to look ultra feminine, and boys to look as manly as possible even in the crib, Mrs. Fay. said, adding, . "I think some fathers would bring boys home from the hospital in cowboy boots and blue jeans if they could buy them that small." Pink and Blue Blue for boys and pink for girls are two rules which sur vive all the fashion changes. After experimenting with pale greens and yellows to vary baby wardrobes, parents now are showing "a very strong return to old-fashioned pink and blue," Mrs. Fay said. Unlike designing women's clothes, the first consideration is durability in the small fry dress circles. Women simply won't spend hours over a hot ironing board pressing starched ruffles, Mrs. Fay said. 4 "A woman now wants all baby clothes that can be tossed in the automatic washer and dryer," she said. "The only time a little girl is dressed up in a starched dress is when she is taken to visit the relatives or when she is receiving visitors at home." Good Food Buys for March Listed By Consumer Education Specialist Prepare a package of lemon pudding and pie filling accord ing to directions. Fold in 1 cup well drained canned cling peach slices and V2 cup toasted coco nut. Turn into baked pie shell and top with a circle of peach slices and sprinkle with more of the toasted coconut. A half cup - well drained canned mandarin oranges mixed with an equal amount of coarse ly broken walnuts and chopped marshmalows makes a delicious dessert when folded into a half pint of whipping cream, whip ped. Add- sugar and vanilla to taste and serve soon after pre pared. ' The county of Los Angeles, Calif., leads "the nation in milk production. Corvallis Early spring meals that "perk up" family appetites can be served at budget prices and with variety with new foods on retail markets this month. When meal-planning, include in your shopping list those foods featured as good buys by the U. S. department of agriculture during March, suggests Miss Zelma Reigle, Oregon State col lege consumer education special ist. By using these plentiful foods now in Oregon markets, lower food cost and greater se lection can be yours, she says. At retail poultry counters, turkeys in small, medium and large sizes are March "budget I boosters." Pan-ready broilers and j fryers are delightful eating when ; served with fresh citrus fruit : salad and whipped potatoes, all ; best buys in local stores, accord ing to the OSC specialist. Ore-' gon's russet "netted gem" po-' tatoes are many-purpose good j baked, hash-browned, scalloped j or fried. ' j Marketing of hogs from last fall's large pig crop should keep pork in ample supply during the next two or three months. A wide selection of cuts from the loin, side and shoulder of the pork carcass should be available to food shoppers as a result, re ports Miss Reigle. She suggests crisp bacon, sausage and thick ham slices as appetizing fill at breakfast. Barbecued spareris or pizza pies made with sausage are other nutritious low-cost meals. "Don't forget lard for pastry-: making" reminds Miss Reigle. "Team tender flaky pastry with sliced apples or canned cherries for dessert." Main dish meat vegetable pies, with crusts made from lard, are good standbys taken from the freezer or baked kitchen-fresh. The USDA also lists lamb, frozen rockfish, grapefruit and tuna packed in oil as other plentifuls during March. Hind quarters of beef, which include round, sirloin, porterhouse, T- bone and club steaks, are better buys because of more top quality beef coming into retail markets from western feedlots. Miss Reigle suggests rolling the flank steak, most flavorful cut in the beef carcass, around bread dressing. Caraway seeds added to othet stuffing ingred ients are likely to rate second helpings, she says. MAKE IT A GAME Having trouble getting your junior sandlot star to wash his hands before dinner?
