Among the areas that 4-H'ers have begun to investi gate with increasing interest is that of personal money man agement, reports the Institute of Life Insurance, on the basis of its work with home ex tension specialists and other farm leaders in providing 4-H Club members with booklets and other information on common-sense handling of per sonal funds. Many 4-H Club members, through their pro jects, are consistent money earners, and often manage over the years to accumulate sizable nest eggs for the fu ture. Consequently they are keenly interested in explor ing the subject of sound money management. Teenagers in other youth groups have also begun to delve into the art of manag ing money, reports the Insti tute of Life Insurance. Typical of these are members of YMCA and YWCA groups, Girl Scouts, Camp Fire Girls and Community Centers in many areas. For that matter, there is a growing movement on the part of the nation's schools and colleges to teach money management and family fi nance, usually incorporated in such courses as home eco nomics, mathematics, business education and social studies, but sometimes as a separate subject. Spearhead of this move ment in the educational sys tem is the National Commit tee' for Education in Family Finance, which in little more than a decade has been in strumental in providing some 10,000 of the nation's educat ors with a background in fam ily finance and help in how to teach it. This summer, for example, about 600 high school and other teachers will attend summer workshops and other family finance courses at 17 different universities under the auspices of the National Committee. There they will increase their knowledge of the subject, and when they return to their own schools in the fall, pass along the in formation to their students. During the school year ad ditional thousands of teachers acquire much the same knowledge by participating in teacher-training courses or ganized for them by commun ity school systems. Specifically, education in family finance concerns such matters as budgeting money and income, life insurance and other insurance, banking serv ices, savings, credit, buying and "renting a home and so forth. Since many high school students will be married in just a few years after their graduation, and will be cop ing with financial problems of family life, it is easy to see why schools are anxious to give their young charges a sound education in family fi nance.

Sixty Per Cent of Students Entering College Graduate New York If you are plan ning to send a child through college, you must have asked yourself about his chances of receiving a degree. His chances are better than fifty-fifty. Studies by the TJ. S. Office of Education, cited by the In stitute of Life Insurance, show that about 60 per cent of stu dents who enter college will eventually graduate. Most of those who do graduate get their degree in four years from the college they entered originally. Is it possible for parents to help increase a child's chances of completing his college course? A clue to the answer can be found among the rea sons students themselves give for leaving college. The major cause of college failure centers about studies. "I found college work too dif ficult," many former students admitted. "I lacked interest in my studies," others said. Or, as some put it, "I was dismissed for academic fail ure." Others dropped out after being placed on probation be cause of low grades. Records Studied The Office of Education went back to the high school records and found that a stu dent who stands high in his high school class has a bet ter chance of graduating from college than his classmate with poorer high school grades. Thus encouragement by parents while a youngster is still in .the lower grades, Food Faddism U S. Affliction Doctor Declares Sacramento, Calif. (UPI) Are you a victim of 1 "food fadism?" Dr. Salvatore P. Lucia, chairman of the Department of Preventive Medicine at the University of Californa School of Medicine, says that 10 million Americans are. "Food fads are potentially dangerous," Dr. Lucia said, "because they may lead to nu tritional disturbances which pave the way to loss of energy and disease." The doctor said that those most likely to become victims of "food fadism" are the over weight, chronically ill, psy choneurotics and persons who have vague signs of "real or feigned" illness. He is opposed to the grow ing consumption of calorie less foods. "We are the only country in the world fighting obesity most others are fighting star vation," said Dr. Lucia. "We eat discriminately, often im pelled by psychic disorders, and then buy medicines to de crease the appetite and take, up the slack with bulky cal orieless foods." This doesn't salve any prob lems. ' "Lucia suggested that all professional personnel con nected with health education including school teachers, social workers, nurses, den tists and pharmacists get a sound training in the basic principles of human nutrition and dietetics. This must be done, he said, in order to "eliminate the scourge of fadists." Use tumeric instead of saf fon in yeast dough and sauces for a pale golden color. and on through high school, may mean the difference be tween discontinuing college later, or receiving a degree. Many students leave college because of financial reasons. "I took a full-time job," some former students reported. Others simply said their fam ilies could no longer afford to keep them in school; tragical ly enough, this was a major reason given by men who had ranked high in their school classes and who, on the face of it,, stood to benefit most by a full college education. In many families, students have been able to enter col lege and complete their course even though family income over the years has been mod est. Scholarships, student loans and the student's own earnings play a part, but much of the explanation lies in sys tematic saving. The saving starts when a child is still in grade school or earlier, either in a savings account, or by regular investment of funds, or through endowment insur ance, or all three. Very often a father will take the further step of in creasing his life insurance so that funds for education will be available even if he should not be there. If he lives (as he probably will) his "educa tional" policy will have accu mulated cash values that can be used to help send a child through college. In actual practice family expenses be ing what they are a family will probably draw on several sources for money for college. Family and student income are the chief , sources; savings are also very important, in cluding the savings in the form of life insurance cash and loan values. Parents will also be Inter ested in knowing that the first year of college is the most "dangerous" one most of the students who do leave, drop out during the freshman year.

Mrs. Fujimoto and Mrs. Pierce prepared the suki yaki at the tables, as do the Japanese, and the young people toasted the honor guest in a hot drink prepared to resemble the Japanese saki. Mrs. Mary Fujimoto assist ed Mrs. A. C. Pierce, in pre paring Japanese suki yaki for a party which the Pierces gave for their daughter Mary, following graduation' cere monies for the 1958 class. Mrs. Fujimoto wears the col orful kimono and clogs of her country, and holds a tray of Japanese sweets which were served for dessert. The suki yaki is cooked at the table from food prepared in smalL easily handled por tions. After that, chances of attain ing a degree brighten consid erably. This would seem to in dicate that it is worth a spe cial effort not only to put a promising youngster through his freshman year, but also to encourage him to make that year a. success. Statistically at least, it will give him a good start in more ways than one.

New York (UPl) The spring crop of, college gradu ates faces a better chance for success but bigger head aches than any other class. So say leaders in education, business and religion. We asked successful persons in various fields to pass on their advice to June gradu ates. Here's what one leader said: Dr. Grayson Kirk, president of Columbia university "Never was the need for in telligence and intellectual pro ficiency greater. But in no country' today can either the individual or society solve the insistent problems simply by demonstrating affability or good intentions. "Character is needed, for it is the foundation stone of a meaningful and successful life. But character is not enough. Our generation will meet its trials only if it is led by men and women who have brains as well as character." Keith Funston, president of the New York Stock Ex change : "The responsibility for being economically alert is not confined to the bread winner. Coeds, whose next job may involve running a home and raising a family, will have to deal with an ar ray of problems that would have stunned your grand mothers. "You will have to balance budgets, manage savings pro grams, and plan for the fu ture. You will be expected to respond to the demands that your husband's work will place on you personally. This will mean recognizing the ten sions of the modern business world and providing a strong family anchor for your hus bands and families."
