F. Kyle, Convenient Street Parking IPoTtpnirairirn Are you one of those adults who believes that more plain, old-fashioned hard work on the part of students might bring better results in the educational process? Do the students in your household complain about how much home work the high school teachers or the college professors are pouring on? If so, give him these facts about student life in the Soviet Union, as printed in a recent issue of Changing Times. "Schools worked pupils so hard that home-work limits were decreed as follows: No more than one hour a night for the first grade, one and a half for the second, two hours for the third and fourth, three for the fifth and sixth, three and a half for the seventh, four hours a night for the eighth to tenth grades. "Now Russian parents complain that schools are exceed ing even those hefty maximums. Ten-year-olds put in as much as 10 hours a day on their studies. Fifteen-year-olds grind away up to 12 hours. And in music and art schools, the study day often stretches to 14 or 16 hours. "In protest, nine doctors published an article in an offi cial Soviet journal charging that the overload was hurting the health of the Russian kids, and weakening their ability to learn. So the Ministry of Education in one Soviet Re public recently ordered schools not to assign homework over Sundays and holidays." The manager of a Texas (Dallas) department store re cently decided to remind Texans of their belief that "we can do anything." The man, Richard Baker, believed that Texans should combat the business recession by adopting the slogan "Texans, think up, go up; think prosperity, have prosperity." " Mr. Baker placed full-page color advertisements ki the city's two daily newspapers. The ads were topped by the word "Up" in Texas-size type, letters 11V& inches high. In smaller type Mr. Baker's message read: "We at W. A. Green's believe that only weak and negative thinking creates fear and business recession and, conversely, that strong and positive thinking generates confidence and good times for everybody. So we say, 'Texans think up, go up; think prosperity, have prosperity.'." ' According to the Christian Science Monitor, the results were immediate, positive and startling. Mr. Baker told a Monitor reporter that he had phone calls from all over the region and that he had dozens of calls from Dallas' residents who said they were "heartened" by the ad. Manager Baker said he borrowed the idea from a friend in McKeesport, Pa., who used it a couple of months ago with good results. Fortune magazine recently conducted a poll of some of the country's top corporate executives and reported that they were "composed and sure of themselves." The magazine interviewed 165 business and banking leaders throughout the country and then concluded "never before in the face of a sharp economic downtrend has U.S. business shown itself to be so composed, so sure of itself." The magazine noted that businessmen have not been panicked 'by dis couraging economic news and at the same time they reacted with "skepticism, even boredom" to the official cheerful ness that was coming out of Washington in mid-winter. John Burns, RCA president said "People have plenty of money to spend." Roger Blough, chairman of United States Steel said "We had to expect- a leveling out at some time" and Ralph Cordiner, General Electric president said "If we have to lay off 300 people in Cochocton, Ohio, that's headline news, but no one savs anvthine about the 274.nnn people who are still on our payroll." By chance Potpourri came out of Hedrick Junior High school last Sunday afternoon (where we'd been watching the square dancers) at the same time as did Lucille Lenox and Octavia Waddell, and the former reminded us to drive around and look at the magnolia tree on Almond street. This pink Chinese magnolia, planted by the late Mrs: Tom Kahler many years ago, is thought to be one of the oldest and largest in the city, and when in full flower is a magnifi cent sight. The tree , is in the yard of 23 Almond street, now the home of Mrs. James E. Burnett. The Clarence Keizurs occu pied the house for many years, and Mr. Keizur, who still lives in the immediate neighborhood, said that when he "owned" the tree in 1920, it was quite small, but blooming. He nurtured it carefully, and has enjoyed watching it grow and blossom each spring throughout the years. The tree now practically fills the little yard in front of the house, and its hundreds of pinkish-lavender flowers are utterly entrancing. . The hostess at a party Monday night listened to the wind blowing around the house corners, shivered and said "There are three words I enjoy more than any others right now Fair and warmer." O.S.

Peron's Girl Friend To Wed Bookkeeper Buenos Aires (IF) Nelly Rivas, ex-President Juan D. Peron's former teen-age girl friend, will marry a young Argentine bookkeeper Sun day, friends of her family said today. They said the prospective bridegroom, whom they iden tified only as "Carlos," works for one of the larger em bassies here. Nelly, who is now 19, be came Peron's favorite after the death of his wife, Eva.

Teacher Directs Marionette Show Approximately 325 students and parents were entertained by a three -act marionette show at the Griffin Creek school March 27. The play, "An. Evening in Mother Goose Land" was written and directed by Mrs. Harriett Eitemiller, fifth grade teacher at Griffin' Creek school.

"Some thing to draw away from the chemise," said the designer who makes most of the chapeaux worn by the nation's first 1 a d y. "T h i s uay rauley vear hat mak ers got their big chance." A check of leading New York designers shows the spectacular is there, if the woman dares. It's a rare hat which isn't in bloom; in some cases, blossoming into a whole flower garden. Even Mrs. Dwight D. Eis enhower has succumbed; she was pictured in newspapers the other day in a pink and red peony combination. Whdt she will wear Easter Sunday is a secret still. But hers was a conservative bouquet com pared with some of the florals. Huge, pink to red poppies cover the wide brim of a pink straw in the Victor collection. Milliner Don Marshall put to gether an Easter bonnet cov ered in- violet petals for Prin cess Grace of Monaco, the former Grace Kelly. Plain Chemise, Fancy Hats "Plain chemise, fancy hats is the rule," said a spokesman for the Millinery Institute, representing the industry. Some of the florals are nothing but petals, set on a light frame, and making the head look like an outsize rose, poppy or chrysanthemum. Others are wigs or snoods with the flowers attached to a pliable, elasticized base which covers the head like a SP 3-1733 (y Flowers Gifts 26 SOUTH CENTRAL YrjMnir Mewly IffieMDdleleil shower cap. Better check to see how you look in a shower cap before trying the wigs. "Let's face it, not every woman can wear them," said Joseph Mann, at John Fred erics'. One of the fanciest of the wigs is at Mrs. Victor's; it's a turban-like collection of some 20 different varieties including . roses, daisies, mi mosa, and peonies. Other Vic tor wigs are all white roses, or white cowslips. Marshall will run ud a wig of real flowers for the cus tomer who needs a hat just for one occasion, and has the wherewithal to pay. A hat of real roses costs $125. Veil Hats New Fad Just the- ODDOsite of those envelping wigs is a whole new fad the veil hats which let a girl's bouffant hairdo stay bouffant. The Millinery Institute calls them whimsies. John Fred erics labels them shells. Mar shall calls them coif veils. These are not the veils which women have been ty ing around their heads for the past few seasons, but veiling gathered to pull on the head like a hat. Some have flowers added; others velvet bows; others rhinestones or pearls. Some are "sized" or stiffened; others have the regular body of veiling. They're available in all price ranges, and are espe cially popular with the wom en wearing the new, bulky hair styles which flatten un der a weightier head covering. "I have two types of cus tomers these days," said Mar shall. "Those who wear hats, and those who don't. "I sold 2,000 of those coif veils in one week."
