It is plan ned, for four days, beginning June 25. Hours will be from 10 am. to 2 p m. and foe for the four days will be $1.25; this will include cost of craft ma terial, major part of food for outdoor cookery, and insurance. Crafts using the raw material available will be featured. Hik ing, outdoor cookery, nature lore and camp craft will be in cluded in the program. Mrs. Virginia Dawson, field director In Ashland, Mrs. Ruthe Gerety, executive director in Medford, Will supervise day camp. Also on the planning committee are Mrs. Bill Sampson and Miss Irer Hollenbeck, Ashland. Training for day camp roun fllora will be held June 21 at the camping site. A separate training course will be held dur ins that week for the program aides. Girls from Amici Horizon club will act in that capacity Anyone wishing to take the training! may register by calling Potpourri When Peggy Ann Ross and Norman Ralph Kipfer were married June 7, the small group of friends and relatives who attended the ceremony rejoiced over a fact which would be taken for granted at most weddings. Tne bride was able to stand, without cane or crutches, while tne Rev. William C. Piper read the marriage vows. A year ago when Peggy Ann Ros was graduated from Crater. High school, she attended the ceremonies in a wheel chair she had been on crutches and in a wheel cnair ever since an attack of poliomyelitis had apparently destroyed her ability to walk when siie was four years old. Shortly after her graduation from high school the young woman began a series of neuro-massage and therapeutic treatments. The. friend who reported this story 'o Potpourri declares that by last August Peggy Ann was able to get about without the chair, and walked a good deal with braces and crutches, by January she was using only the braces and a cane. Last March during the March of Dimes drive, she appeared before the student body of Crater High school and after walking half the length of the high school assembly room, to the amazement of her former schoolmates, accepted a gift of money to buy new braces. The new braces were necessary, we were told, because the young woman's developing muscles are expanding in girth she literally outgrew the first ones. In her new role of housewife and homemaker, Peggy Ann will not have to do her work from a wheelchair she will be able to cook and clean and wash dishes while standing on her two feet. There's a revolution going on in education in this country, says Henry Steele Commager, professor of American history and American studies at Amherst college. The revolution is in num bers, in source and nature of support of education, and most important of all, in quality Speaking for graduation ceremonies at Mount Holyoke college earlier this month this distinguished educator said "We have deceived Ourselves about distinctions in the ennrrp nf cimnnrt in the Camp Fire office in Med-1 education. Actually there is no education that is wholly private and no education that is wholly public. Mr. Commager pointed out that private institutions exist by virtue of public charters and are sustained through tax exemptions and favorable laws. Mr. Commagftr added that fears of govern ment control following government support to education are un warranted. "Other free countries have learned to separate public support from public control," he said. "There is no reason to suppose that we cannot do what they can do." Speaking of the revolution in quality, Mr. Commager added that "schools are still serving the non-educational functions which circumstances imposed upon them in the 19th century. It is time we turned our energies to the more urgent job. This is the task of training the minds of the next generation, an immensely diffi cult job which cannot be done on the side." This, Mr. Commager said, will require a revolution in the attitude of the American public. "It may call for the repudiation of much that we have traditionally associated with the high school and the college. I mean activities primarily athletic, or social, or vocational: activities useful in themselves, but largely irrelevant to education." Parly Server ford Girls wishing to attend day camp who have not already registered are asked to call either their leaders or the Camp Fire office on or before June 18. All registrations must be com plete by that time. However, if adult leadership is adequate, additional registration may be taken after that time. If at tendance is large enough, buses will provide transportation: otherwise private cars will be used. Girls are asked to wear either tennis shoes or oxfords and bring a warm sweater or wind-breaker in case of rain or chilly weather. Studi Department lies Food Habits Br PATRICIA WIGGINS United Press Correspondent Washington (W The Agri culture Department has em ployed Univac, the giant figure eating machine, to digest the na tion's eating habits in the most comprehensive study of the American diet ever made. What Univac has done is to put a nutritional value on meals served in a scientifically selected aample of 6.080 families from all over ths country. Results now ara beine, compiled. According to Dr. Gertrude Weias. chief of the department's feousehol deconomics research branch, this is the way it worked: The department furnished eauvta "punched" with foods tareemakers reported they starved their families. It also fumiahd cards "punched" with the nutritional values of vari ous foods. Univac "digested" both cards and came up with statistics on how muco cf each of 10 nutri ent calcium, protein and such tljar families were getting. The department now is in the process of getting out reports of the Univac results. First will come nationwide tallies, then breakdowns of diets by regions Jtcrth Central, Northeast, South and wast. Dr. Weiss noted that Univac's efforts will furnish a "gold mine" for statisticians. They'll be able to figure out general weak spots in American diet pat terns: weatt spots by regions, by income level, by age and other indices which figured in the tallv. Both Mrs. Ray Greeninger and her husband received degrees at graduation ceremonies at California State Polytechnic college in San Luis Obispo Saturday. Mr. G. was granted a degree in engineering, and his wife, the former Colleen Reisinger of Med ford, received Cal Poly's famous "Ph.T. Degree." This stands for "Pushing Hubby Through." Cal Poly gives the Ph.T. degree to the wives of students who have aided their husbands by keeping the kids quiet while he studies, getting breakfast on the table quickly so he can make an 8 o'clock class on time and in other ways "pushing hubby through." More than half of Cal Poly's 1S57 graduating seniors are married, and th epresident of the institution, Julian A. McPhee, has six daughters. The Greeningers are expected here the first of the week to visit her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Reisinger. They have two children, Sharon, six months old, and Karen, 3. Mr. Greeninger, whose parents live in Dayton, Minn., has accepted a position with the Mergenthaler Linotyle company in New York and will demonstrate and sell a new electronic type-setting machine. The Clergy-Industry Relations Department of the National Association of Manufacturers printed this one: "A Pennsylvania farmer, representing the ninth generation to own the farm he now operates, expressed his philosophy about keeping his land in a high state of productivity as a heritage for succeeding genera tions. He said 'It's not what your ancestors were but what kind of ancestors we will be that counts'." In his latest book, "You Can't Get There from Here," Ogden Nash philosophizes about "this great country, which wants all its children to go to college but is distrustful of its adults with college degrees."

That year the marriage rate was high est in November and December. The marriage rate in the Unit ed States has remained virtual ly stationary in the last three years, the statisticians point out. varying only from 7.2 to 9.4 per 1,000 population, including the armed forces overseas. Morever, the indications are that this pat tern will continue for the next few years. The current stability of the marriage rate contrasts sharply with the marked fluctuations which occurred during the pre ceding quarter century. At its ! extremes, the rate fell as low as 7.9 per 1.000 in the depression ; year of 1932, and soared to the all-time high of 162 in 1946. the first calendar year following the end of World War II. Currently, the marriage rate shows no pronounced geogra 1 phic pattern, according to the statisticians. Existing variations reflect largely the extent to which couples marry outside their own state in order to take advantage of more favorable marriage regulations. Nevada Hale High The outstanding example is Nevada, where the recorded 1 marriage rate was as high as 224.5 per 1,000 population m the 1954-56 period. This was more than seven times the rate of the next highest state. Miss issippi, where it was 30 3 per 1.000. New Mexico also record ed a rate far above the national average. At the other extreme, the low est marriaae rate in the country 5 8 per 1.000 was registered in Delaware. Relatively low rates were also recorded in North Carolina (6.0), Oreeon (6.1 California (6.3), and Ala bama (6.4).
