Smith College Ups Cost of Tuition Northhampton, Mass. W Smith College is raising its total yearly cost for tuition, room and board from $1,900 to $2,200, effective next Sep tember. College President Benja min F. Wright said "Smith cannot make the necessary increases in salaries, and par ticularly the salaries of its teaching staff," without the rise. Officials said that even with the increase, there will be a gap of $400 between what a student pays and what the education costs the college.

But she can learn the truth if you help. Little Marinka's classes are not at all like those your daugh ter attends.

Her geog raphy teacher tells her how American troops "occupy" Western Europe and threaten the borders of her country. And in her physical education class, Marinka will be taught how to operate a rifle. How is she to learn the facts? How will she know we want only peace? The truth can still get through to her.

He leaves his home, walks a block to the shore of the Ohio river and gets in his home-made boat. He rows across to the Ohio, shore where he joins a car pool for the 55-mile trip to work. Later he boats back home. In good weather, Workman makes the crossing in seven or eight minutes but winter tides and high water double or triple his river time. "I row my own boat sim ply because it's a lot easier than taking the ferry," he said. "The ferry sometimes is held up by fog." His brother-in-law operates the ferry. Providence, R. I.

Many Avoiding Fastest Highways Boston -HP) "Many of America's fastest and newest highways and -toll roads are consistently avoided by" mo torists unwilling to face the sizzling discomfort of drivin? without shade, the Automo bile Legal Association re ports. A spot survey by the ALA showed that landscaping at tempts on most highways rarely get past perfunctory clumps of grass and scrub bushes, of little sun-screening value to the hot weather mo torist. The organization said that many motorists compare a trip along Massachusetts' Route 128 with a Sahara Des ert crossing. And, it added, the new 239-million-dollar Massachusetts Turnpike is also conspicuously without a single redeeming shade tree. The ALA believes federal planners should give serious consideration to possible rem edies for this situation.

MAIL TRIBUNE, MedforJ, Oregon, Wednesday, April 9, 158 IS Magazine Sees Many New Houses Chicago (W Forecasts that about a million housing starts will be made in the United States during 1958 are "an outrage and disgrace," according to the American Builder trade magazine. "Many more houses should be built to keep abreast of the housing need created by this nation's population growth, new families, demolitions and obsolescence," the magazine said. The publication added that it was "a must" that America raise its housing aspirations in order to maintain a high standard of living. ' Putting up 1,000,000 homes next year could "not be a boom," only "automatic and nothing to boast about." The publication pointed out that the United States experi enced what was then a "hous ing boom, in 1925 when a million houses were built. "Since then our population has increased 55,000,000 while our national produc tivity, as measured by the gross national product, has quadrupled," the publication said ' A million and a half newly married couples will be look ing for homes in 1958 and, they'll have a rough time finding them, it concluded.
