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.

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.
Chopped Raisins

French knife on the cutting

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

ankles today through a press
conference and a national tele

as he greeted newsmen at the
Knickerbocker Hotel and re
peated that "faith kept me go
ing" during his ' 54-day wilder
ness ordeal.
"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
