high school students will soon
receive diplomas and degrees at
a time when our literacy rate
has reached an all time peak.
Yet only 65 per cent of them
would be able to understand
each others' writing.
' Considering thai America's
total school population is 30,
000,000, these statistics may seem
trivial. But to those with a spe
cial interest in legible handwrit
ing, it's a definite danger signal.
In addtion to The Handwrting
Foundation, and the schools
themselves, local chambers of
commerce and other business
groups have expressed increas
ing alarm about the writing
habits of today's students.

themselves severely in
ant exams by turning in "blue
books" with essay questions
written in a sight-searing scrawl.
"An instructor in economics
would also have to be an Egypto
logist to make sense of what
these students submit," King
says.
But if the handwriting prob
lem is serious today, it promises
to be more of a challenge in the
coming year. By the 1960's our
already well populated colleges
will be accommodating the larg
est number of students in his
tory. This expected peak is due
to the booming post war birth
rate which contrasted sharply
with the low rale during the de
pression years. Elementary
schools and high schools will
also become more crowded than
they are now and experts fore
see an acute teacher shortage
generally. They fear that, amid
all the ferment, the question of
improving handwriting will be
lost in the shuffle.
"Other questions, of necessity,
do and shall continue to take
precedence over handwriting,"
Mr. King says. "However, since
writing is a vital part of human
communications, something must
be done now on a wide scale."
Just what is The Handwriting
Foundation doing? In co-operation
with educators, the Founda
tion is supplying manuals, book
lets, posters and visual aids for
use in the nation's classrooms. It
has also enrolled the support of
American business which is us
ing similar materials in special
employee training programs.
Finally, it is attempting to alert
parents to the need for setting a
good handwriting example in
the home. "We don't expect that
American students like their
Chinese counterparts will look
at handwriting on the same level
as landscape painting," says Mr.
King, "but we're hopeful that
we can help literate young men
and women to write legibly."

Cake Decorating
Idea Wins Award
Daytona Beach. Fla. (U
Mrs. Rita Beam of Dayton. Ohio,
is one in a million.
Or, more exactly, she is "Mrs.
Homemaker of 1957'' becauseof
having submitted the best home
making idea in one and one-half
million suggestions received in
a nationwide contest.
The copper-haired housewife,
one of 40 finalists on hand for
the judging at Ellinor Village,
submitted a winning idea for
brightening a child's party cake.
"That special cake for Jun
ior's party or birthday," the at
tractive young mother of three
children wrote, "will be doubly
thrilling if you try this delight
ful stunt:
"Press an animal cookie cut
ter lightly into the icing, then
fill in the outline with tinted ic
ing of the child's favorite color."
Second prize went to another
Ohio housewife, Mrs. W. H. Mc
Connell of Mansfield, for her
suggestion for keeping lamp
cords off the floor by looping
them over screw hooks fastened
into the backs of dressers and
desks.
Lawrence Wahlstrom of Los
Angeles became the first male
winner in the contest with his
third-prize idea of driving tacks
without danger of hitting a fin
ger by using drink straws.
Wahlstrom suggested the tacks
be pressed through the tips of
ordinary drinking straws. The
tacks can thus be held in place
with the fingers a safe distance
from the target of the hammer
blows.
Mrs. Alfred Droz of Denton.
Tex., won fourth prize and Mrs.
James E. Zumwalt of Grinnell,
Iowa, fifth.

I Married A Stingy Man
"My husband handles all the
money in our house," complains
Mrs. X. "He gives me enough
for food and that is all. No
clothes. No new furniture. Noth
ing for pleasure."
After a poverty-ridden and
difficult childhood, adults fre
quently become hoarders col
lectors of material objects, sav
ers of paper and string, misers
with money. Long after the need
for pinching pennies has passed,
the "saving" drive may remain,
rooted in long-ago fear and inse
curity. In moderation, the drive
is called "thrift." and in ex
treme, "stinginess."
Men. more often than women,
seem to fall into this pattern.
Repeatedly the councelor hears
tales ranging from actual hard
ship to annoying "closeness"
and in most cases, women appear
'to be more sinned against than
' sinning.
"My husband acts as if he
is killed when I ask him for
money."
"My husband hasn't bought
me anything new since we've
been married.'
John may reason that he han
dles the finance because he can t
trust Mary's judgement. Basical
ly he may be unwilling to let
her prove her worthiness, be
cause he doesn't really want to
share financial control with any
one. Money, to him. spells pow
er, security, and self-confidence
and. he will keep it for him
self. Misers hoard hot only money,
but themselves. They are people
drawn in upon their own egos,
unable to share possessions, love,
or themselves. Thev have never
j learned to give, only to take, to
'grasp. They are usually calcula
ting friends, and unsatisfactory
lovers, unable to feel sympathy
and warmth. Miserliness makes
a mean marriage, which destroys
love that might have once been
there.
Only by consciously replacing
habits of closeness with generos
ity a painful process for the
hoarder can a person acquire
new ways of thinking and doing.
Again and again generosity must
i be precticed by the ex-miser un-
til it is automatic, a part of life
j and marriage.

to such sDecial-

And Yet. last year, we spent a
record 52.106,000,000, on frozen
foods alone a leader in the
"less work for mother" field.
"They buy cookbooks to use."
not just to read or for their col
lections." said Lois Cole, an edi
tor at Putnam. "But a good cook
book is good reading too."
"Creative cooking always will
be with us." said Clara Classen,
cookbook editor at Doubleday.
"Even with all the advance work
the processors do, we women
will improvise . . . will insist on
developing our own specialties."
"And we're all just more food
conscious," she added. "Science
has taught us so much more
about food's role in our health
and these days- it is smart to be
healthy."
Books That Sell
Other publishers add other
reasons why from 50 to 75 new
cookbooks appear each year
and sell.
"Women have more time and
more money to spend on food,"
said a spokesman at Prentice
Hall. "They're using both to cre
ate luxury dishes, instead of
spending hours baking bread."
"Women buy cookbooks for
ideas," said John T. Lawerence,
of M. Barrows, which has pub
lished several dozen successes.
"They want short cuts, want to
know how to dress up a dish,
stretch the budget, add variety.
A cookbook now needs a special
approach, a gimmick."
Most publishers agreed the
specialty cookbooks are the new
est trend although the classic
"Joy of Cooking" has sold more
than two million copies since it
first was published in 1931.
Travel has increased interest
in regional and national dishes,
and the result is a multitude of
books on cooking from our own
Middle West, the West Coast,
New England, and on Hungarian,
Italian. French. Scandinavian,
and Chinese cuisine.
From The Experts
Restaurants lend their names
and recipes to others. Luchow's
in New York, for instance, pub
lished one on German dishes
and sales now are nudging the
50.000 copies mark.
Whole books are devoted to
cooking with casserole, with elec
tric skillet, electric blender. Oth
ers are confined to sauces, to
souffles, cheese, rice, or eggs;
still others to dinner for two, or
for the weekend hostess.
Now publishers see a whole new
culinary world to conquer in
books on dict-fat free, salt free,
or calorie low. One scheduled for
publication in the fall will be a
"his and hers" type, with the
needs and amounts of calories
for him and her listed beside
each dish.
The men are in the act too.
Some publishers said man's in
terest in turning chef was large
ly responsible for the boom in
books ort barbecuing and other
outdoor cookery. v

Antique Buttons
Urbana, 111. P Buttons to
Miss Grace Derter are "antiques
in miniature," and "little bits of
history."
Whatever they are. Miss Dext
er has lots of them, so many she
has long since lost count. "But
numbers don't mean anything,
anyway, it's quality that counts
in a button collection.
She has tiny paperweight but
tons, glass buttons, carved ivory
and pearl, painted picture but

She has many with real value.
others which she treasures for
sentiment's sake.
'There are buttons from my
uncle's military uniform worn
here at the University in 1879
which bear the words '111. Indust
rial University,' and a little
green satin button from my
grandmother's wedding dress in
1858," she said.
Another button trimmed a
dress worn by Mrs- John D.
Rockefeller.
Miss Dexter, who formerly
taught costume design at the
University of Illinois, said her
hobby fitted in quite nicely with
her profession.
"Once I got started everyone
helped me," she said.
She is particularly fond of her
picture buttons, dating back to
the 1870 s.
"A classic picture button is as
hostorical as a commemorative
stamp and as permanent as a
coin," she said.
She also has Kate Greenaway
group, illistrating children from
the Kate Greenaway books of
60 years ago.
There are other military but
tons too- Her West Point but
tons, she explained, are supposed
to have been designed by the
famous painter James Whistler
for the cadets at West Point.
Button collecting. Miss Dexter
said, is like any good hobby, for
it "improves your time, and in
time, tends to improve you."
