o s MAIL TRIBUNE. Medford, Or. Parents Underestimate College EducatiorvCost No one knows how many boys and girls miss, out on a college education because their families discovered, too late, that they could not af ' ford the cost. Their 'disappointment must be considerable, since sending a child to college is one of the fondest wishes of many American parents. In fact, nearly 80 per cent of the per sons interviewed in one recent survey said their major goal in the next 10 years was get ting their children through college. . . On the basis of other studies covering various aspects of college education, a recent re port shows that families who want a college education for their children often tend to underestimate the cost in volved. That, in many cases, may be the reason why the children do not complete their education. Some months ago several thousand parents were asked what they thought an nual college expenses might be. Compare their estimates with the actual costs: private college including room and board, 'parents' estimate, $1,574, actual cost, $2,260; state university including room and board, estimate, $1,370, cost, $1,525; and mu nicipal college, estimate, $861, cost, $1,000. ' The figures for parents' es timates and actual cost are both averages. Financial Plan ' About 40 per cent of the parents who said they planned to send their children to col lege had a definite financial plan to back up their inten- 4H Club Serves Refreshments for Roxy Ann Group Members of the MYH 4H elub made and served refresh ments for the recent Christ mas party of Roxy Ann Home Economics club.

The plan most frequent ly cited included use of life insurance. The .next most frequent plan was savings either, in a bank account or U.S. Savings Bonds. Unfortunately, a majority of parents who want to send their children to college do not seem to have a definite financial plan. Many of those who lacked a plan hoped their children would receive schol arships, or help earn their own way through, or receive a loan. Other indicated they intended to pay for college out of current family income. This attitude may well ac count for most of the disajx pointments - a scholarship or student loan does not come through; current family in come is not enough to cover college expenses; a youngster finds he cannot hold down a job and pursue his studies at the same time Possibilities such as these emphasize how necessary it is to have a college savings plan, and to start early, while chil dren are still very young When freezing eggs, pack age them by the -number used for snecific dishes.

Women Volunteers Said Professional in Endeavor By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor New York '- 1DPD - Volunteer work has been part of the American women's life since pioneer days. "But she no longer is an amateur at doing for others," said Mrs. Oswald B. Lord. "She has turned pro." Mrs. Lord, the United States representative on the United Nations Commission on Hu man Rights, believes this change is the most important one in the woman's world in the last decade, perhaps since World War II. : The volunteer no longer is the "lady bountiful" sharing her largesse indiscriminately, she said. She is "a profes sional who has to have train ing,: know how to handle people,1 have sense of respon sibility." . War Brings Change And her financial status has little to do" with her ability to fit into some facet of wel fare work and into commun ity and national projects. Mrs. Lord is this year's win ner of the Eminent Achieve ment Award, presented an nually since 1931 by the American Women's Associ ation, a group of women in business, and the professions. In an interview before pre sentation ceremonies recently, Mrs. Lord talked of a wom an's contributions in the last decade. Dad Pays Later New York - (UPD - Look out, Dad. There's a trend afoot to ward junior charge accounts for teen-agers. An increasing number of department stores across the country is offering credit to youths from 13 to 19 years of age. The plans are designed to teach teen-agers to budget expenses and to learn the im portance of good credit and value of merchandise. Par ents' consent is required, and in some cases, accounts are limited to $25 or $50 a month. - .. Celery Stalks in History . Norwalk, Conn. - (UPD - Cel ery as we know it today was developed from a wild bitter herb which grew in the salt marshes of Europe and Asia. It wasn't until the ancient Greeks and Romans blanched bunches of wild celery that it was used as a flavoring. The Italians brought it up to date as a separate food when the flavor grew milder through improved cultivation.

Morans Return Mr. and Mrs. Jack Moran returned home yesterday after spending Christmas with their son, Jack Moran Jr., at his home in Marin county. While away they attended a per formance of the play, "Dark at the Top of the Stairs" now running in San Francisco. "I think," she said, "that the change in the woman vol unteer must have started with World War II. Women by the thousands replaced men in in dustry and other women had to take their place to develop such things as. day care cen ters. "Today, women are put on boards of museums' and hos pitals and charity organiza tions, not just because they can contribute money, but for the leadership they can give. They have more time than men; they know how to shape policy." Graduates With Honors Mrs. Lord, a. slim. attractive brunette with blue eyes, is the former Mary Pillsbury of Minneapolis.

(UPI Telephoto) Spices Said Important In History of By JEANNE LESEM United Press International New York-HIPD-Spices built a university, developed the U.S. Merchant Marine; and helped make this country a leader in world trade. By 1810, spices were so important in our nation's economy that spice trade tax es paid five per cent of the annual cost of federal gov ernment These facts were recalled at the 18th annual dinner of the American Spice Trade as sociation here. Highlights of early spice trading days were described by Edouard Stack- pole, curator of Connecticut's Mystic Seaport which in eludes a seaport museum and a reconstructed 18 century fish ing and shipbuilding village. Yale University was found ed by one of the first Amer icans to make his fortune in the spice trade, Stackpole said. Elihu Yale opened the college that, bears his name after returning from England and the Spice Islands in the late 1600's. But the spice .industry's real boost came more than a century later, when Capt. Jonathan Carnes and ' super cargo (commercial agent) William Vans brought back a $10,000 shipload of pepper from Sumatra. Within the next hundred years, nearly 1,000 American ships entered the spice trade. Largest Consumer Today, the U.S. Is the world's largest spice consum er, an association spokesman said, with imports of 30,000 tons a year. Pepper still ranks first in commercial value, as it did in the early trading days. But cinnamon and nut meg, which followed pepper in value, have dropped some what on the 1958 list. Cinna mon ranks fourth, after mus tard and sesame seeds, and nutmeg imports fell to tenth place last' year because of crop damage from Caribbe an hurricanes. For a homemaker, spices are easier to use now. They come ready - ground, instead of whole, and in handy sifter containers. But one of the early do-it-yourself spice grinders - the nutmeg grater-is available, its design unchanged but with non-rusting metals replacing tin. Wooden mortars and pestles, once widely-used to crush spices, are also around, but more frequently used for decoration than as a kitchen utensil. . - 9:30 A.M. 11:00 A.M. . 3:00 P.M. . 7:50 P.M.
