College Education for Housewives Not Wasted, Says Barnard President Lt. Col. Ruih Heece WAC Recruiter To Be In City Lt. Colonel Ruth S. Reece, procurement officer for the Women's Army corps, from Headquarters, Sixth Army, Pre sidio, San Francisco, will be in Medford Wednesday, April 25, to interview qualified college women concerning direct ap pointments as officers in the Wo men's Army corps. Those inter ested in discussing possible com missions should contact the U. S. Army recruiting station in the post office building, or telephone 2-5022, for an interview appoint ment. The Women's Army corps is now offering direct commissions as second and first lieutenants to women with college back grounds between the ages of 20 and 33 who have the mental, physical, and character qualifi cations required as officers in the corps. To college women who are in terested in a career offering pride irr service, responsibility, and scope for developing all of their potentialities, the Women's Army corps of the United States Army offers an excellent oppor tunity, it is stated. Editor's Note: Is money spent for a college eduction for a giri who winds up as a housewife wasted? Dr. Milli cent C. Mcintosh president of Barnard College and the only woman on board of directors of the Columbia Broadcasting System. Inc.. says it isn't. She gives her views in the fol lowing guest column written at the invitation of Elizabeth Toomey, who went to Monaco for the Kelly-Rainier wedding. By MILLICENT C. McINTOSH President of Barnard College New York (U.R) Sometimes parents seem to feel the money they have spent to send their daughter to college is wasted when she marries immediately after graduation. Far from it. A college education can be the best possible preparation for marriage. In three important ways it gives the all-around training necessary for the de velopment of personality and the fullest achievement of hap piness. In the first place, a college education trains a girl to use her mind properly in requiring of her exacting and vigorous work. The discipline acquired in ful filling the requirements for the A. B. degree should produce an individual who knows how to handle her time, her mind, and all her other resources. No busi ness or profession requires more intelligence or resourcefulness than does motherhood. A college education can help prepare a woman for this role by encourag ing an open mind, the ability to find and use information and the judgement to use it proper ly. More Interesting Person In the second place, college training develops attitudes and tastes which will make the stu dent a more interesting person. College study for the large majority of girls will develop intellectual interests, artistic tastes, and avenues of thought that will bring rich rewards for them personaly, and in their family life. It is a most important func tion of the college to develop intellectual attitudes and habits of learing which can be carried DR. CORNELL A. SABO Dentist Announces the Removal of His Office to 810 West Main Street . Medford, Oregon Office Hours Telephone By Appointment 3-3934 over into one's adult life. A girl who has. such attitudes can be a much better wife and mother than a woman whose horizon is bounded by the problems of the home. More and more young men are discovering that it's fun to have an intelligent wife not just a wife who can be a friend and companion. The man who thinks p. wife should be beautiful but dumb may soon become as rare as the whooping crane, and his breed is dying out from pure boredom. Philosophy And Religion Finally, the study of philoso phy and religion can be con sidered of primary importance for a woman. Whether she recognizes it or not, the woman is important in setting the moral and spiritual tone of her family, or of the community in which she lives. She is responsible for training her own children and in many cases the children of other peo ple. She must be aware of what others have thought and said about the meaning and purposes of life. It is the task of women to establish and protect standards, to sustain and inspire men whose immediate repsonsibility is to provide support and protection for their families.

' Two-Tone Golf Star Has Plans San Francisco (UR) Beau teous Barbara Romack, the two toned queen of the links, has a heavy campaign mapped out for this summer: 1. She hopes to win the U.S. and British amateur crowns. 2. She thinks it is high time she got married. At the ripe old age of 23, Bar bara isn't exactly an old maid and it is probable that right now Miss Romack is much more in terested in winning the golf titles than she is in getting mar ried. "But who knows?" she asks. "When I'm in England, I might find a prince!" It was 1954 that the Sacra mento shot-maker reached the pinacle of her game. That year she won the U.S. amateur and was runner-up for the British amateur crown. Last year her game went into somewhat of a slump. Couldn't Pui "Actually, I was hitting the ball as well as ever," she says, "but I couldn't putt." That's what she says but it is doubtful that she believes it. In fact, to get more consistency in her game, she has shortened her back-swing and she fell now that she is at her peak. In the State Open she con sistently bettered men's par as signment on a very tough course.

April 22. 1956 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE NINE Princess Anne's Wardrobe Ordered for This Summer By MARGARET SAVILLE United Press Correspondent London (U.R) Princess Anne is going to be the best-dressed little girl in Britain this summer. Queen Elizabeth has ordered all of her daughter's clothes for the coming season and they've been chosen as carefully as any debutante outfit. The colors include warm shades- of rose-pink, green, and sea-blue and lilac, which, in cidentally, is going to be the leading new shade for grown girls, too. The Queen doesn't care about pale pastels for herself, and she doesn't like to see her daughter in them either. One of Princess Anne's- more dashing about-town frocks has navy blue hairline checks on a white ground, cut on tailored lines with turned-up round col lar and cuffs. Over it will go a navy waisted coat, and there'll be a saucy white straw sailor hat. . Washable Things Everything in the Princess' summer, wardrobe is plain and tubbable. Two cotton frocks a day is quite customary. Laundry is done by hand by the palace nursemaid, Mabel Scott, who helps the chief nurse, Helen Lightbody. "I can do that, too!" is Prin cess Anne's .usual cry when Prince Charles is climbing a tree or doing something else of a strenuous nature, and that often means mudstains and smears and even a tear or two. She plays in hard-wearing corduroy pants and a bloused jacket or a cotton sun-suit if its exceptionally hot. But when she goes to a party, Princess Anne is truly a fairy tale figure and very insistent that "my jewels" are put on. Her pearl necklace and the small turquoise brooch the Queen lends her for such occasions give her the keenest joy. "Now I really do look smart!" she'll announce as she studies herself in the mirror. Learns New Dance Her newest party dress is pink net elaborately frilled over deep er taffetta and decorated with tiny embroidered silk rosebuds and leaves. She wore it recently at a tea party given by her five- year-old cousin, Viscount Las celles, son of the Earl of Hare wood whose mother i the Queen's favorite aunt, the Prin cess Royal. In her gala outfit, Princess Anne learned thi. new dance that's currently all the rage among the junior smart set in London. ' It's known as "The Lettice Leefe Hop" and has a simple two - step-forward-three-steps-back movement to a very catchy little tune.' It is the invention of a party entertainer, Ernest Castro, who uses a schoolgirl doll called Lettice Leefe. Castro showed Princess Anne how to do it and she was an apt pupil, particularly light on her feet with an excellent sense of rhythm. Prince Charles is always slow er than his sistei and not so agile though he manages in the end through sheer perseverance.

"I would like to stay on the tour a couple of months," she says "but I'm not sure the money will Wd out." Daughter of a plumber, Bar bara has mapped a business career for herself in the insur ance field and she has done real well in the Sacramento area selling. Half and Half Barbara's current hair-do is a two-toned effect which she de scribes as "half and half." "Light in front and darker in the back," she says although she very often is described as a blonde.

They play hard... learn fast... sleep soundly... grow like weeds. How do they do it? They've got the advantage of being more recent models, of course newer body styles and all that. But a large part of the answer lies in the fuel they run around on. Milk's their petrol, and it's pretty hard to beat. Loaded with VCP (vitamins, calcium, protein), milk gives them mileage like you haven't gotten since you were a kid. Funny thing about this fuel it works fine in older models, too. Tried it recently?.
