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

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.
Her plans for the summer in
clude competition in the Curtis
Cup matches in England, fol

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.

Kids have the goldarnest amount of energy. 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?.
