The bride said she plans to continue her acting career. of four operators, consumers willing to be guinea pigs, and hair. "Women's hair is getting better all the time," said Broge in an interview during a visit to New York. "Women are more aware . that hair needs care, and know how to give it. Home and profession al permanents are improved. Shampoos are better, thanks to the chemist. We all wash our hair more often, and this keeps the scalp healthier. "Hair is more lustrous be cause we're generally health ier. Poor health often shows in the hair, although it may be. there, six, even nine months before an illness is re flected. "There are many things about health and the connec tion with hair which we still don't know. For that matter, there is much still to learn about hair, period." Broge, 38, and a native of Cleveland, holds degrees in chemistry from Harvard and Cornell universities. During World War II he worked on rocket research for the gov ernment's .Defense Research committee. He joined P&G in 1950 and now directs re search on improvement of old or development of new sham poos, permanent wave solu tions, hair sprays and related products. Say Broge is working to improve a home permanent wave solution. It first is tried on hair samples right in the lab. If it promises what the researchers are looking for, it then is tried on volunteers at the beauty shop wives of employees, other women in the Cincinnati area. The products also goes through a batch of tests on consumers in various parts of the coun try before it is ready for the market. Dyes Alter Hair "My wife tries out every thing new," said Broge. "I'm pretty sure of the lab results or I wouldn't dare let her, I can tell you." ' The researcher said chem istry's newest problems are caused by the increase in the number of women who bleach nr Hvp Phancinff ths rnlor l c o alters hair structure, he said, and so calls for a change in properties of the permanent waving solutions. "But chemistry will keep up," he said. I asked Broge what new "breakthrough" we might ex pect in the world of beauty. There are those who pre dict that one day we can take pill to curl or color our hair. It's not beyond the realm, but I'm not going to stick my neck out that far.

Edith Green (D-Ore.) returned here Sunday with words of praise for the Soviet educa tion system which she studied at first hand during a brief visit to the Soviet capital at the direction of the House Education Committee. The Portland Democrat de clared that "They are making a tremendous investment in education and it is not all in the sciences, as we sometimes think. There is great stress on music and art." But Mrs. Green commented, "Along with their advances in education there is a grimness of life that is very depressing. She endorsed exchange of Russian and American stu dents, commenting "I don't think any youngster could go over and not come back con vinced anew of the superior ity of our form of govern ment." Strict Discipline A former school, teacher, Mrs. Green was impressed that there "was no tomfoolery in the Russian schools; no whispering, no giggling, very strict discipline." She said she heard students in English classes speaking with an excellent command of the tongue and idiom. She said a student discussed the writings of Jack London "in terms of the fight against im perialism but it was beauti ful English." She said the Soviet Union has been experimenting for nine years with English and French classes in the second grade. Mrs. Green also remarked on the intensity of the Rus sian school system where stu dents attend classes for six days a week and where spe cial attention is given to gift ed students and to areas of special student aptitude. Family Specialist Gives Information On Convalescence Brookings, S. D.' (IP) . Mrs. Merle G unsainc ex tension family life specialist at South Dakota State college has some suggestions for mak ing a child's convalescence easier on everyone. She suggests that parents ease up on attention and care given the child during illness since the child will regain his strengtn more rapidly if al lowed to do certain thines for himself. Parents should consult the doctor on what 'the child should do and not do. It is easier to get the child to return to his room at bed time if he has been in another room jduring the day. Allow friends to visit as much as possible if the illness is not contagious. Employ extra touches such as flowers, doilies or other amusing surprises on lunch eon trays. A warm bath and rubdown at bedtime will better enable the child to sleep. If shrimp shrink and are tough, they are over-cooked. Peeled, deveined shrimpi should be dropped into just enough boiling, salted water to cover. Cover, return to boil ing point, remove from heat and- let stand 2 to 4 minutes, depending on the size of the shrimp. Drain immediately and chill.

Belle S That's not possible but they never loved me. Harvey S. Does it make sense to continue a relation ship that makes you miserable just because the persons in volved happen to be your parents? My wife can't get alone at all with her parents and her sister, but especially her mother. Whenever she goes to see them she comes home crying. She takes it out on me and the children all the next day. She goes over and over everything that was said and done. I'm just about fed up. I sav she should break off with them. We can see them once a year at Christmas, and maybe an occasional telephone call. That's enough. Belle S. How can you break off with your own par ents when they live only a few blocks away from you? It's not possible. My parents never gave me real love and affection. They were disappointed because I wasn't a boy. Nevertheless, they showered affection on my younger sister. My mother always told me I was born with an evil -temper. My father never spoke up for me because he's always, been un der her thumb. ' Even now my mother pre fers my sister's two children to mine. She'll baby-sit for my sister at the drop of a hat, but not for me. The Council Yes, we think Belle ought ' to "break off" with her parents, but not quite as Harvey suggests. Belle needs to break off her old, childish ties with her parents and find new ones suitable for a mature woman and mother. In her more rational mo ments, Belle must recognize that her parents must have long ago gotten over whatever disappointment they may have felt that she was not a boy. If she sits down and thinks over her childhood and youth in an objective manner, she will find that her parents showed their love in countless ways and that they will continue to show it when she gives them a chance. It is quite likely that her present resentful attitude often causes her parents to say and do things that hurt her. Her hostility is aimed at provok ing her parents to acts that seem to prove her point that they love her less than her sister. It might be a good idea if Belle took a short vacation from her parents and then re turned with a heart full of love and gratitude toward them. She must make the ef fort to rid herself of jealousy of her sister and to bring to all of her close relation ships the warm, sincere love that undoubtedly exists below j her childish anger. Belle should remember that parents and other close rela tives are people too, and they appreciate courtesy, kindness and warmth and are likely to return these in the same meas ure they are received.
