Goldwater (R) Ariz., and Mrs. Goldwater planned the home they would build "when we didn't have anything else to do." . "But we got tired of wait ing," explained Goldwater, who frequently is in the news as the busy chairman of the Senate Republican campaign committee and as a leading member of the Senate rackets investigating committee. The Senator, who looks much younger than his o0 years, is immensely glad they went ahead with the house instead of waiting until he had time on his hands. The Goldwater home, in the desert about 10 miles Showers Given For Bride-Elect; Rites Saturday An eventof Saturday, Aug ust 29, will be the wedding of Miss Sally Harris and the Rev. Willard Lee Frederick- son of Los Angeles. The bride- elect is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lester D. Harris. 707 South Oakdale avenue, and her fiance is a son of Mr. and Mrs. I. D. Fredericksoh, Los Angeles. Miss Harris, who has been making her home in San Fran- ciisco, arrived last week and is being entertained .at pre nuptial parties. Mrs. H. D Christensen was hostess for a brunch last Thursday, inviting 12 euests to her home, 29 Richmond avenue. Miss Har ris was showered with gifts for her new home. Yesterday .morning Mrs. Richard Frederick gave anoth er brunch for the bride-to-be, inviting a group of neighbors to her home. 712 Whitman olace. Guests wrote out favor ite recipes for Miss Harris, and gave her jars of Home made jam. Other parties are planned for the couple. Miss Harris' sister. Mrs. Menil Hval, has arrived from Portland' to be a iart of the pre-wedding festivities and th Rev. Mr. Frederickson is exrected Thursday. He will be accompanied by his par ents, by his sister, Mrs. Jfranic Harmon and her small daugh ter, Lisa, the latter from Bev erly Hills, Calif . The wedding is set for three I'clock in the afternoon at First Presbyterian church, and the reception will follow at the Harris home. The bride-eroom-to-be is assistant min ister of the Presbyterian church in Inglewood, Calif. the bride-elect is a hostess for Pan-American World Air ways. College Girl Has Need For Many Articles New York-flJPD-A girl needs more than a full closet to fix up a college room with all the comforts of home. Here is a list of items to be packed or bought after arriving at school: , A travel steam iron, sweat er and garment bags, shelving paper, multiple skirt hangers, folding laundry rack, heating pad, record player, portable radio andor TV, portable typewriter, dictionary, desk set, bulletin board, home-town telephone directory or address book, cellophane tape, hot plate, can opener, knife, fork, spoon- and plate, camera, molding hooks for hanging pictures, mirrors and bulletin boards. Also useful are shoe racks which rest on the floor (many schools forbid putting nails In walls, hair dryer, desk lamp, ashtrays (preferably the beanbag type), wastepaper basket, flashlight, and linen. Students who take to the bed to study will need bolstered back rests. Checking account at a bank near the campus also will come in handy.

No scrubbing is needed. from Phoenix, is a fabulous combination of desert stone, glass and native craftsman ship - and imagination. The one-story structure is-as the Senator put it- "long and skinny." From the air, it looks like an arrow. The un usual shape provides every room with a superb view. The unique house has no right angles in it, even where walls and ceiling meet, but uses 60 and 30 degree angles. Native Materials "Our thought," Goldwater told the National Association of Home Builders, "was to build a house that would demonstrate what could be done with native Arizona stone, Indian designs- and na tive craftsmanship." The Navajo Tribal Council picked the name of the house, "Be-nun-i-kin," or "house on top of a hill." Sitting 900 feet above the floor of Para dise Valley, the arrow- shaped house "points" to nearby Camelback mountain. Its exterior is red sand ! stone, which the Senator said the Hopi Indians used in their reservation but as far as he knows,' has never been used for construction of a house elsewhere. The stone "was not cut, just picked up 200 miles to the north of us and we brought down about 200 tons," the Senator said. , As a boy riding over the desert, Goldwater admired the stone "and always thought my house would be built of it." The low retaining wall around the house is of desert granite in shades of white, deep gray, some black and other hues. The Goldwaters have done very little formal planting about the house. The Senator said: "The des ert is disappearing-we want our 27 acres to be desert for ever." House Blends The house blends into its landscape and, appears at peace : with its surroundings. Its big, double fron door is of birch with inset lines of mahogany in an abstract, Indian motif. Silver door pulls, used -also on various built-in chests, were hand carving on edges of the chest again reflect the Indian mo tif, and was done by Indians. One side of the house is an all-glass wall. On the oppo site side, a gallery runs the length of the bedroom wing. Paintings by Arizona artists decorate the gallery's interior wall. Its exterior wall con sists of picture windows be tween diamond-shaped native stone pillars. A wealth of storage space is provided by chests under the windows. - The four fireplaces-in liv ing room, den, master bed room and kitchen - dining room have big single pieces of sandstone for their hearths. The slabs bear marking of an cient ocean ripples and the Senator said it is believed the stones are 160 million years Den I Favorite The den is his favorite room. There, a 2,000-pound hunk of desert ironwood forms the base of an irregu larly shaped glass coffee table. The floor had to be reinforced to support the ironwood. A section of the den's red wood ceiling opens to let down a projection screen for the showing of films. Photog raphy is the Senator's hobby and he has his own dark room for development of pictures. The master bedroom has an unusually wide bed with a three-paneled headboard. The .center panel conceals complete controls for the tele vision and radio on the oppo site side of the room, as well as switches for the hi-fi sys tem, intercoms to the rest of the house, the bedroom drap eries, the fire alarm and the lighting, including outdoor floodlights. The two Goldwater sons, Barry, 21, Mike, 19, share a room. Peggy; 15, has a room of her own in pink. An older daughter, Joanne, is married and lives in Salt Lake City. But it is likely that when she comes visiting with the first Goldwater grandchild, Caro lyn who is nearing her second birthday, the outdoor swim ming pool and the promenade deck which encircles the house, will be the most popu lar features of the unusual home.

The AARS award is made on the basis of results compiled during a two-year competition which includes the world's outstanding varieties developed by leading hybridizers. To develop a rose capable of winning an All-America title entails from eight to ten years of research and ex periment. If a rose shows exceptional promise during the development stages, the originator may consider it for the rugged All-America competition in which it has about ' a twenty-to-one chance to capture top honors. Since the AARS testing system was started in 1938, more than 1,000 varieties have been entered in the trials, and only . fifty-three have been considered worthy of an award. Experimental plants are sent to twenty-four special gardens located in different sections vof the countryso located as to test performance under all types of growing conditions. Each variety is studied by an impartial ex pert who rates its performance on the basis of a uniform point system, scoring for such characteristics as flower Calendar Calendar notices and new for the society section of The - Mali Tribune muse be - submitted in writine and deadline for the Sun day edition is 1 p.m Friday Dead line for the weekly calendar is s a m of the day of publication and for week day news is 5 pjn. the day before publication. 7:30 p.m.-Gamma Phi Beta sorority, home of Mrs. Jack Crawford, 1503 East Main st. 7:30 p.m.-Southern Oregon Society of Artists, Girls Com munity club.

IRWIN United Press International Chicago-(UPD It's time to take the "grocery store and going-to-the-bank" "games out of arithmetic courses. ' So says George Russell, vet eran mathematics editor for a textbook publisher (Scott, Foresman and Co.). He be lieves basic mathematics should be taught from the first grade on without sugar coating. Arithmetic is "the least liked, most poorly learned and soonest forgotten of all grade school subjects," Rus sell said. i . Recently,, he helped com plete a new textbook program for teaching and' learning elementary arithmetic. Rules aren't stated in the new books. Instead, all opera tions such as addition or mul tiplication are worked out in pictures, with a brief verbal explanation. The children see what is happening to the numbers, Russell explained, then state the rules in their own terms rather than merely memorize what is in the book. "We aren't against memor ization," Russell said. "Lots of facts have to be memorized no matter how you teach arth metic. But we want children to understand what is being memorized, not simply parrot what the teacher or the book says." Under the new program, third grade children are taught to use equations. Rus sell said children's greatest weakness in the past has been in solving verbal problems. "Most children today can add, subtract, multiply and divide very well as long as the teacher or the book tells them what to do," he said. "But give many children a verbal problem,' in which they have to decide for themselves how to process the numbers, and they flounder. They haven't been given an orderly method of solving problems." Russell said teachers using the program have found that once children learn to trans late verbal problems into equations, they do much bet ter at problem solving. It also aids their mathe matical thinking, so they can take up fairly difficult work at an early age. The sixth grade program in Russell's system for example teaches ratios, per cents and other work that used to be held back until the seventh or eighth grades. Children who understand ratios and other basic mathe matical principles don't need grocery store games to keep them busy or interested, Rus sell said. They like arithmetic for its own sake, because they see the sense, of it. Healthful " nidei's Quality DAIRY FOODS ing liabit, disease resistance, foliage and other important . qualities of a top-flight rose. Varieties with the highest scores are considered for awards. FIRE KING is a brilliant vermillion Floribunda.and an exceptionally strong grower which will be particularly useful for a landscape effect. Its perfectly formed flowers measure from two to three inches across, and are borne in heavy clusters which create a dramatic color accent at any point in the garden. GARDEN PARTY is a Hybrid Tea which was developed from the crossing of Charlotte Armstrong and Peace, two of the most famous AARS winners of all time. Its double blooms often measure up to seven inches across, and its cream and ivory petals are delicately tinted with soft pink. Flowers are usually borne singly on long stems which are ideal for cutting and arrangements. SARABANDE, the third winner for 1960, is a Flori bunda with large flowers of twelve to fifteen petals. Its color is a unique scarlet orange, arid its relatively low, compact growth will make it a favorite for hedges and border edgings. The three new winners will be available this fall. A new approach to arithme tic is needed for two reasons one a great need for mathe maticians and engineers in the space era. "Their introduction to mathematics can no longer be postponed until high school and college," Russell said. The other reason, he said, is that machines have largely taken over the job of comput ing in modern business. "This doesn't mean that pupils don't have to learn how to add or subtract," Russell said. "It merely emphasizes that the human ability to think mathematically is more important than the ability to compute. Someone has to know how to analyze prob lems before the machine can be put to work to solve them." ' Hamburger Is Russian? Chicago - (DPD - The Rus sians really did invent some-thing-and it's more American than, baseball, cowboys and chewing gum. It's the ham burger. William R. Sandberg, vice president of a drive-in firm said the hamburger got its name from the German city of Hamburg and that "the Ham burg traders brought it back from, the Baltic provinces of Russia." f- Corn Roast .

Wrap each ear- in aluminum' foil and place on grill over hot coals. It will cook in about 15 min utes and should be turned 2 or 3 times during cooking. Bed of Justice In the days of old France, the King reclined on his "bed of justice" when he attended parliament, held an audience, received vistors or decided on a case. Louis XI, who lived from 1461-1484, is credited with introducing this custom into France, though the idea is even older than that. Alex ander the Great used his bed for a throne on numerous occasions. If SHIRTS ON SALE AT jl BARKERS fgJ 1 1 ARE $2.99 UP rvl BUT . . . GOSH!

Kyle, Manager lutionary with her slightly askew pince-nez Miss Carden said "children are dying of mental anemia" because of "too much sugar coating" of education. "There's too much empha sis on the thrill of learning,' she added. The educator from Glen Rock, N. J., who has taught since 1929, advocates the phonic method of reading and writing instead of the sight method. f! Under the sight method, words are associated with pic tures and pupils are drilled rerjetitiouslv. The Carden method does away with the "see the ball. The ball is red," type of in struction. Through under standing the relationship be tween a word and its sound and function in a sentence, a pupil is equipped with basic tools to "teach himself." ; The average pupil taught by her "language-arts" sys tem is capable of reading any thing by the fourth grade and should have all the prac tical education a child needs by the sixth grade, Miss Car den said. Despite opposition from "entrenched elements of pres tige and money," Miss Car den's primary grades program was used in 105 public and private schools in seven spates. The most effective pro moters of her system have been taught by the system. Miss Carden is sharply cri tical of the "stuffing" of pro gressive education -to many books about books and not enough straight classics. s Learning is not an end in itself," Miss Carden said, "but a tool for a more enjoyable life." The Little Red School House may have had architec tural shortcomings, but its basic curriculum of readin 'ritin and 'rithmatic has yet to be improved on, she said. - Portland Opera Books Thebom 'k Miss Blanche Thebom, star of the San Francisco Opera company, will be heard in Portland during the famed west coast group's September 3 to September 7 series at the Paramount Theatre.
