South ern Oregon college, and the Chi cago Athletic institute The study, which will include approximately 560 boys from 7 to 17 years of age, will empha size the traits of boys who make organized athletic teams. Dr. H. Harrison Clarke, re search professor for school of health and physical education, University of Oregon, is princi pal investigator for these tests.

One of the most controversial problems confronting physical university, will serve as gradu- (educators today, Dr. Clarke add- te assistant assigned to super- ed, is the wide utilization of or vising the project, Theodore Schopf, Southern Oregon college will train the testers. Lee Rags dale is in charge of general ar rangements in Medford. Study Divided East of the institutions will be responsible for a certain part of the study and each will contri bute to its financial support. Medford was chosen for this tudy for two reasons. The local school officials showed a strong interest in the study to the point of aiding it financially, and the Medford schools have organized inter-school athletics starting in the early grades. This permits a contrast of traits studied in the late elementary school grades. The public school boys will be selected for the study by random methods. Any boy making ath letic teams not selected will be included so the maximum num ber of athletes for competitive The Ladies' Home Journal proudly presents The Year's Greatest Story of Romance and Suspense DAPHNE dii MAIMER The greatest mailer of uapente...atithor of "Rebecca' anil "Mr Cousin Rachel" Its ihe marvelous new novel hr the famous author of "Rebecr and 'My Cousin Rachel."

Around Hollywood By ALINI MOSBY United Press Correspondent Hollywood (U.R) Nanette Fabray faces a crucial test next week: Can the pretty young singer - com edienne and Emmy winner go it alone without S i d Caesar? Pug - nosed Nanette will make her first TV appear ance Nov. 1 Aline Motor since she and Caesar were "divorced" in June. She'd been a star in musical comedy and nightclubs before she met Mr. C, but she wasn't a top luminary until she and Sid began trading domestic quips. But, as it comes to all Sid's wives, the two did not see eye-to-eye. Like Imogene Coca, Nan ette left the show to go on her own and Janet Blair became Mrs. Caesar No. 3. Sketch Planned In her solo appearance, Nan ette will sing and do a comedy rketch with Jack Benny, Johnny Ray and Bob Crosby on a CBS TV "Shower of Stars." "It's so important for me to do well on this show," she said modestly before a rehearsal "If I fall on my face it will be my own fault. Strangely enough, I hope by now people have for gotten I was with Sid." During the summer they didn't. Her mail was "very vio lent, people either strongly in favor of my leaving or strongly opposing it." "People stopped me on the street," she said. "They'd say, 'Oh, you poor dear, whatever will you do now?' or, 'How dare you leave him'!" "A psychiatrist told me peo ple have such identification with TV that they felt when Sid and I broke up that it could happen to them." Hot Property Another reaction to the "di vorce" is that Nanette is a hot property to the gray-suited TV executives on Madison Avenue "But I'm not overwhelmed," she said with a business-like shrug that comes from having been a performer since she was 3. "It's funny you're either hot or you're not. I've been up and down so many times it doesn't bother me any more. "Now that I'm hot I have the choice of practically every show plus many domestic series, but I haven't found any series script I like yet," she said. "I'd like to do movies, stage shows, dra matic TV, anything I like. I'm just going to see what comes along and hope that people ac cept me again by myself." ' 4-H Club News CENTRAL POINT DAIRY.

Mr. T.J. Why give them a taste for things they can't have? Mrs. T.J My husband is not doing very well financially. We live in a cramped apartment in a poor neighborhood. We have three children, ranging from sev en to 13 years of age. My sister and her husband hap pen to be extremely wealthy. My sister is generous to all of us, gives the children many gifts and often invites us to her home for a week at a time. When we return from these visits, however, there is always a terrible letdown. Our home looks so sad and shabby. The children are depressed and my oldest daughter has cried be cause we don't even have a de cent carpet and she can't have her own room. My husband feels that we ought not to expose the children to the wealth of my sis ter's home, but I feel they have so little in life' that I want to give them some of the pleasures of luxury even for a little while. Mr. T.J. I do not believe In giving my children luxury for brief visits because it is very unsettling. I have always made it a point not to get used to any thing I can't afford. My sister-in-law and her hus band are really at the opposite extreme from is. I know many people who are just as wealthy (or wealthier) who are not as lavish in the way they live. I would not mind our children vis iting rich relatives, if the rela tives were not laying things on so thick. Their generosity is not ' con structive but mostly showy, and suggests extravagance and irre sponsibility. When we visit them, we have to make a special effort to dress well, but I've never no ticed that they make any effort to meet us halfway, with a little restraint and modesty. Even if they were poor and shiftless and wasteful, I would not want my children to be af fected by their example. The Council: These parents place far too much importance on material possessions and far too little on human values, and their children are evidently re flecting their attitude. The par ents talk of the luxuries they en joy in their aunt's home, but nothing of the contact with their cousins, their aunt and their un-" uncle all of which mean much more to normal children. "Our home looks so sad and shabby," says Mrs. T. J. That is the way it appears to her and she can be sure that the children catch the sadness of her expres sion as she looks about her home. Children don't look at things in quite that way. They may feel a twinge of envy for a toy or a dress some other child possesses but it is as likely to be some thing belonging to the kid down the block as to their wealthy cousins. In any case, they don't brood about it, unless they have been encouraged to do so by their parents. Mr. T. J. cites a much more valid criticism when he objects that his relatives are ostentatious and showy in their generosity. If that is really his reason and not just another argument, then he should stop complaining about their wealth. It will not harm the children of poor parents to visit wealthy relatives, but it may harm them to visit graceless and cheap rela tives. However, it is not clear from T.J.'s comment whether he really understands why he ob jects. (Copyright 1956, General Features Corp.) Us.
