of recreation, the youngsters
often participate in discussion
workshops in order to round
out their knowledge.
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. L

Miss Mary Pierce, daughter of Mr. and

party by her parents. The event was given
at the family home on Pierce heights, and
authentic Japanese suki yaki was served.
The guests are seen gathered around the
table in Japanese fashion, with the young

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.

gave for their daughter Mary,
following graduation' cere
monies for the 1958 class.
Mrs. Fujimoto wears the col
orful kimono and clogs of

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.

Spring Graduates
Face Headaches
By MARY PRIME
United Press International
. 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."
Chicken Stew Said
Easy Company Dish
New York (UPI) Need
an easy dish for company?
Chicken stew does the trick.
Simmer broilers or fryers in
salted water until the meat
falls free of the bones. Re
move any broth. Discard bones
and skin. To save time, add
vegetables already prepared
and ready to cook (canned or
frozen). Whole kernel corn,
okra, tomatoes and lima beans
are good. Add freshly chopped
onion, a dash of tabasco sauce,
pepper, and thyme. Simmer
about 1 hour, stirring occa
sionally. Combine butter with
flour for thickening. Stir into
liquid and stir constantly un
til liquid is uniformly thick
ened. Simmer about 10 ma
