Diet Deficiencies Still Abundant Iowa City W Adolescent girls, mothers, and those among the aged who must live on lim ited incomes are the most under fed groups in the United States Professor Margaret Ohlson of the University of Iowa says there are reasons why these groups have diet deficiencies. A poor diet in the teens is shown by every study made in volving this age group. Dr. Ohl son said. Nutritional deficiency during the growing period re sults in failure of the long bones in the legs to complete growth. The squatty figure is more like ly to become overweight as the owner becomes older, she said. The adolescent's refusal to eat properly may be partly soc ial revolt occurring during the teens and partly overemphasis on nutrition as discipline, Dr. Ohlson said. ' The mother of the family may develop poor eating practices by neglecting her needs while car ing for the rest of the family. She needs only to practice what she knows is good nutrition for the rest of the family, Dr. Ohl son said.

Puritan Styles The arrival of the Mayflower II has inspired the Puritan look in children's fashions.

Society Teachers In Small Cities Making Rapid Pay Gains, Official Says Philadelphia, Pa. A signifi- j salaries in the smaller cities does tons. COTTON CHECKS BOUNCE Kendalville, Ind. in Mrs. Dorothy Bruce spent four days buying goods for her new cot ton shop but the store's opening was officially postponed. Police said Mrs. Bruce used bogus checks to pay for her goods. Potatoes Try serving canned new pota toes in anchovy butter, tasly and hot with a favorite meat dish. cant trend in teacher salary gains was announced here today by Martha Shull. Portland, presi dent of the National Education association. "All through the century," Miss Shull said, big city teachers have had the edge in salaries over those in smaller towns. That's still true S5843 is the salary of the average teach er in a metropolis of half a mil lion or more while S4077 is the average in towns below 5000 in population but it's the teachers in the little cities who are now getting the bigger increases." The once-huge gap between large-city and small-town pay is closing, Miss Shull revealed, and the dfferenc between teaching and administrative pay is also smaller than it once was. Findings Told Miss Shull announced these findings, results of the NEA Re search Division's 18th biennial survey of city school salaries, as the 703,000-member profes sional organization opened its five-day centennial convention here. In the past two years. Miss Shull said, classroom teachers showed the least increase 8.6 per cent in districts with a pop ulation of 100,000.499,999. On the other hand, highest per cent of increases for classroom teach ers 13.2 per cent was in dis tricts with a population of 5,000 to 9.999. These figures include salaries of teachers in elemen tary, junior high, and senior high schools. The trend toward reduced con trasts in pay because of popu lation is one of three that have been noted during the past quarter century, said Miss Shull. The second major trend has been the closing of the gap which existed in 1930-31 between class room teachers and certain groups of administrators. In both larger and smaller school districts, med ian salaries of classroom teach ers have increased more than those of high school principals and superintendents. Elementary school principals, however, have advanced in pay more nearly with classroom teachers. Trained Persons The explanation for this, ac cording to Miss Shull, is the classroom teacher shortage. Larger proportions of school funds have been used to attract properly trained persons into classroom teaching and to hold them in service. The third major trend has been a leveling off of differences be tween elementary and high school teacher pay. This Miss Shull attributed to the adoption in most school systems of the single salary scale, a wage sched ule calling for the same salaries for elementary and secondary school teachers of equivalent preparation. Though the figures show some progress toward the NEA s recommended minimum of $4500 for teachers with bachelor's de grees, Miss Shull declared. In view of current wage rates in general, it may come as a shock to see that in every population group, except those of 500,000 and over, there are teachers paid less than $2500 a year. The relative gains in average not mea that low salaries still do exist. Over a thousand teach ers in city school systems are re ported as having annual salaries of less than $2200. Less than 500 were earning as much as $8100." Commenting on the relative value of today's teaching salaries. Miss Shull said: "In general, the apparent increases in school sal aries in the past two decades have not been enough to main tain teachers at even the relative ly low economic level attained prior to World War II. Teachers as a whole are slightly above the average wage or salary worker in the United States in average annual earnings but far below the the average worker in other professional occupations." Graham Suggests Golden Rule (or Holiday Drivers New York . HP) Evangelist Billy Graham Tuesday night re commended a "Golden Rule of the highways" to persons who plan to travel by car over the long July 4th week end "unve unto others as you would have them drive unto you. Graham urged a capacity audi ence of 18,500 in Madison Square Garden to "be careful as death" on the highways over the holiday. "A man gets upset or angry with is wife or children and stalks out and gets in his car," Graham said. "Oftentimes, with out knowing it, he drives like a madman to take out his anger on the car and the road. Attractions puldrawn "The tragedy is that a man in this state often crashes into another car or knocks down some pedestrian. It was officially confimed Tuesday night that Graham's New York Crusade had not only outlasted all previous attractions in the 30-year history of Madison Square Garden, but also out drawn them. John Goldner, acting manager of the Garden, said his records showed that the Ringling Bros.. Barnum and Bailey Circus had drawn 785,813 persons in 1947, while Graham has drawn 824,300. The circus lasted 40 days, while the New York Crusade has already run 48 days and has until July 20 to go. GIVE A SHOWER How about a home furnishings shower for the bride-to-be? In stead of giving her little odds and ends (among which there are bound to be duplicates), guests invited to such a shower could pool funds and give the bride one good piece of furniture or perhaps an area rug. An end table, chair, or tea wagon would also be a not-too-expensive but much appreciated shower gift.

Lost Flier of Sierras Heading To Family Reunion Hollywood W Lt. David A.

"My ankles are still swollen. Otherwise, I guess I'm okay," he said. "I can tell you that a man learns a lot of faith in such a situation. And faith kept me going." Steeves injured his ankles in a rough parachute landing in the Sequoia-Kings Canyon National Parks back country after his jet exploded at 33,500 .feet. He stumbled out of the mountains Monday with his story of sur vival.
