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-

tion. 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

opened Medf ord Practical
Nursing school received their
caps in a ceremony held De

tal, and Mrs. Maurene Beutt
ner, R.N. ;
Mrs. Morrill spoke briefly,
saying that the caps had been
earned by the women and
were the insignia of their own
accomplishments. She said
that- the nursing profession
demands integrity, dependa
bility and courtesy from the
women who enter it.
One of the speakers for the
ceremony was Mrs. Lelia Gil
man, R.N., who said that
"only women who love man
kind become nurses." She
said that nursing is a pro
fession of "blood, sweat and
tears" but one which is filled
with deep reward for those
who practice in it.
Mrs. Gilman was introduced
by Linday M. Vinsel, director
of the vocational education de-
partment of Medford schools.
Mr. Vinsel said Mrs. Gilman
was one of the first persons
in southern Oregon to enlist
his aid in starting the school

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

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.

Visitors Leave

and daughters of Burns, Ore.,
returned to their home Sun

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. She graduated
with honors from Smith Col
lege in 1927 and began her
own career as a volunteer in

She moved to New York in
1929 when she married, and
since has been active in a
variety of projects-the Metro
politan Opera Guild, the Com
munity Service Society,
UNICEF, The National Health
Council, Community Chest
and Civil Defense.
-. President Eisenhower nam
ed her to the UN in 1953.
What directions does she
expect woman's role to take
in the 1960's?
"We women will go even
further with our individual
contributions to the commun
ity," she said. "We will par
ticipate to an even greater ex
tent in national life, in all
kinds of jobs. Political in
cluded. "It is a rare girl now who
doesn't want to prepare for a
career as a volunteer or in a
profession.

was the exception."

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.
