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."

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.

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." OS.

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

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

Young folks just starting out this month (and Jorgen
sen's extend to them sincere congratulations) will
find that DAIRY FOODS are most important in every
family diet. They'll learn, too, that when they ask
for "Jorgensen's" they get the very finest from
Jorgensen's big new spic-and-span sanitary dairy.
There's luscious FIESTA ICE CREAM, rich, nutritious
milk including ALL JERSEY, cream, buttermilk, but
ter, cottage cheese everything that's really GOOD
in dairy products. By the way, June is DAIRY
MONTH.
