A couple's retirement home should be something worth waiting for after years of child raising, clock-punching and making ends meet, they say. The importance of the matter is pointed out by the Urban Renewal administra tion, which says the popula tion over 65 will increase by 3.5 million between 1960 and 1970. Most Needed As more and more study is made of this trend, authorities have assembled a list of things most needed in retirement housing. A step -saving level floor plan is one of the first requirements, along with sturdy hand rails and grab bars near tubs and showers. Slip-resistant floors are con sidered a "must." Other desirable attributes for retirement housing include plenty of lighting, and heating and air conditioning particu larly well engineered lo avoid damp and drafty conditions. To be avoided are such things a- steep flights of stairs, equip ment susceptible to mechani cal breakdown, inaccessible storage and vast lawns. The home should be large enough to house treasured pos sessions collected in earlier years, yet not so large it be comes a housekeeping burden. One way to overcome this is by using materials that are easy to clean and never need painting or waxing. Many architects suggest a second level to the home that can be opened tor nonaay weekends, or when grandchil dren come to visit. The house should provide adequate pri vacy, without becoming ultra private; and if the couple is so inclined, should have out side areas large enough for flowers or garden. Firemen, Wives To Hold Picnic Phoenix - Volunteer fire men and their wives met Tues day evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Harlan Glass cock and made plans for a picnic in October.

TREESH New York-UIPD-A Midwest college president says higher education used to be like a cafeteria: students were given a tray and a choice of hot dishes usually representing the favorite recipes of the fac ulty. "Today, students are going to the other side of the steam table to make up their own recipes," said Dr. Paul F. Sharp, president of Hiram (Ohio) College. "It's improved their academic appetites." Dr. Sharp said there has been a changing of atti tudes on both sides of the "sheepskin curtain." Students are showing a deeper concern and greater personal involve ment in their education and faculty members are accept ing in increasing numbers the theory that the only educated man is a self-educated man, he said. "There is, I belive, through out education a drive to make students more responsible for their own education," Dr. Sharp said. Study Growth Sharp's opinion was borne out by a survey at the 12 member schools of the Mid west College council. At all the schools Hanover, Lake Forest, Manmouth, Rockford, Albion, Hope, Kalamazoo, Hamllne, Beloit, Ripon, Heidleberg and Hiram fac ulty and administrators re ported a growth of independ ent study. The changing attitude man ifested itself in many ways, including higher library cir culations, more interest in seminar - type courses and higher graduate school en rollments, the survey indicat ed. At the same time, it was found that acadeimc averages increased and there was a decline in excessive interest in extra-curricular activities and social organizations. "On many campuses, where 10 years ago Greek letter so cieties dominated student life, they are now on the de fensive," Dr. Sharp said. September is here, clubs selves for the coming season and one of the burning ques tions will be how to earn money. In Medford and other southern Oregon towns two old reliable methods come to mind the rummage sale and the bazaar. Fashions shows are popular too and these take many forms. The fur fashion show which Medford Junior Service league gave last week at Rogue Valley Country club in cooperation with Jean Hart failed to attract a very large crowd, but was new and interesting. Curtis Stewart brought a San Francisco and the league members and their friends who modeled were ecstatic about the luxurious coats and stoles. Prices ranged from a few hundred up to $4,500 for a coat with the intriguing designation of "black orchid mink." Potpourri assured Mr. Stewart that we didn't know a thing about furs and he said that mink fur shades and the result of dyes, but of mink We salute the men and women who choose the names black orchid, tourmaline, morning light, ranch, autumn haze, breath of spring, blue iris names on the program. We asked what "acturus" meant and he said he didn't know. We think it should have been Arcturus which is the name to us most appropriate. There is something else that was this women who live ford still know what goes on the models, Ellie Hopewell, was wearing a wig for one ap pearance during the show, and a small group of the league members and the visiting fur merchant got into a discussion about these fashion accessories. He described the luggage boxes which are now made to carry wigs (we had a story about these almost a year ago), and said wigs, to be most useful, should be made as nearly like the wearer's own hair and styling as possible. One of the pretty league mem bers standing directly in front of him and listening politely, without comment, was wearing, for all we known, her wig which is exactly the shade of her real hair and dressed in the same fashion. Th-i Mail Tribune started publishing ma terial about wigs at least three years ago when they were first introduced at the Paris fashion shows, and we've had numerous stories about them since. Last Christmas we had a front page which included pic tures of wigs and women wearing them, and several weeks ago we had a pictorial feature about the synthetic-hair wigs which was the cooperative effort of Robert Vroman and Frances Bulkin. So, Mr. San Francisco, Medford women already know about wigs! But he did know his furs, and we learned quite a hit during the evening and thoroughly enjoyed seeing the gor geous garments. To go back to new ideas for fund-raising, we read about one the other day which was tried laat winter in Syracuse, N Y. This was for a bake sale, but not like the ones held in Medford stores. The women donned gala costumes, decorated a station wagon with gay trappings and drove around the resi dential areas, peddling their cakes, cookies and other del icacies. Mrs. Lowell Fowler called up thi week with some in formation about horse show winners. The Fowlers, who raise registered quarter horses, and a few other horse lovers had been to Yreka and Grants Pass shows and had brought home some trophies and ribbon?. Potpourri, who doesn't know too much about horses, got all wound up in taking notes about mares, fillies, "produce of dam" classes, a "dinner bell" event for mares and colts, and a hunch of names a?

Concern The Hiram president said there was "a real upsurge" of independent thinking and in dividualism among today's college students. "It reflects itself In the po litical temper on campuses. There Is a revolt against reg imentation and conformity," Dr. Sharp said. "There is a fringe group of 'beatniks' In whom the revolt becomes bizarre and irresponsible, but even that is better than apathy." Dr. Sharp said he believed the trend toward more inde pendence among college stu dents would produce more responsible and decisive mem bers of the business commun ity in the years ahead. "One thing interested me in talking with top personnel people in business and indus try," Dr. Sharp said. "They say the ranks of middle execu tives are filled with people who can take orders, but a man who could make deci sions and accept the responsi bility for them was a rare bird. "I believe the student who is more serious about his thinking will make a greater contribution to business and public life." Too often, Dr. Sharp said, educators think of college as merely an extension of high school. Fairly Mature "We sometimes forget that the average college boy or girl is fairly mature and, whether a brilliant student or not, should be ready to take a good deal of initiative in get ting an education." "College must be regarded as a readying ground for a self-directed career that starts immediately thereafter. We may even be doing some stu dents a disservice by contin uing to spoon - feed them through the use of traditional teaching methods alone." The survey of faculty mem bers at the Midwest liberal arts colleges showed wide ac ceptance of the independent study concept. More than half predicted a sharp increase in the near future. and lodges are bestirring them collection of his furs up from "Most women don't.

John ston. Water broil if you want a moist, tender dish. Johnston, a resident of this tiny Long Island fishing vil lage says his family has used this cooking method for gen erations. Johnston and other long-time residents are called Bonnakcrs, derived from the Indian word, Accabonac, or springs, which abound in the area. They have fished and farmed the eastern tip of the island for centuries. Here's his recipe for water broiling. Lav fish fillets in a shallow pan, sprinkle gener ously with dried bread crumbs - do not substitute cracker or corn meal - and dot with butter or margarine. Add wa ter to pan until it reaches the level of the edges of the fillets - about one-eighth to one-quarter inch. Place three or four inches from flame of preheated 550-degree broiler. Broil until crust is golden brown - about five minutes i for a one-half inch fillet. The j .ame method may be used for fish steaks and small iplit fish. You can vary flavor with i herbs, spices, and wine for all or part of the liquid Campus cuties will wear flannel culottes and matching flannel sneakers this fall.

She snid they encourage piece meal eating as in primi tive cultures, where children pick up what they can find, beg or take leftovers or food rejected in preparation by their elders. Criticises In a paper delivered before a nutrition education contor ence in Washington, D.C., Dr. Lantis criticized self-service merchandising in stores and vending machines for offer ing small choices between Farewell Party Honors Bottels O'Brien-Mr. and Mrs. Rob crl Bottel and family were guests of honor al a surprise farewell party held in the O'Brien schoolhouse last Fri day evening. About fio per sons were invited to the din ner. After dinner, with Mrs. Don Orton as mistress of ceremonies, guests introduced themselves and presented an oral wish of luck and "until wa meet again" expression to the Bottel family. All agreed the Bottels must eventually return to the Illinois valley and farewell would not be appropriate. Mesdames Dave Wilson, Robert Breckenridge, Arthur Cribb, Ross Terpin, Lester Archer and the Karl Prestons organized and arranged the suprise event. A fir tree decorated with a horseshoe for luck and the guest book with excerpts from Mrs. Bottel's nationally syn dicated column, "Helen Help Us", on Its covers were used for gifts and signatures of guests, The Bottels will be leaving O'Brien soon for Sacramento, Calif., where Mr. Bottel has been promoted to work with the California State Depart ment of Agriculture. Family Visits O'Brien Relatives O'Brien-Roy Cole, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Cole of O'Brien, and his family are visiting friends and relatives here.

The Low many kinds of one food, in stead of largo choice between basically different foods. "It is more important for a child to choose between a candy bar and an apple - and to have both equally available and tempting - than for him to choose from 12 chocolate bars, in reality choosing only between a gold wrapper and a silver wrapper," she said. She added that the wide availability of snack food and soft drinks in variety and drug stores, apparel shops, filling stations and clubs also encourages poor nutrition. Hull Trend Dr. Lantis suggested that an educational program be launched to halt the trend -that children be taught good food buying habits as they are taught good automobile driv ing habits. "Grammar school children can 'play store' acting out marketing scenes in which they make food selections and discuss Mhe basis of choice," she said. Take Classes "In more school systems, classes should be taken to large bakeries, slaughterhous es, any available food process ing centers as routinely as they are taken to museums. "As children grow older, they can get more technical knowledge: how is food handled in trarsll? What are the standards and limits re garding use nf insecticides and additives?" To hclp'lhem make wise food choices, Dr. Lantis urged that vending machines carry dried and candied fruit as well as candy bars, low-calorie as well high-calorie cookies, and powdered-fruit drinks made from real fruit and wa ter as well as carbonated soft drinks. m if .

( 'Foolish Consistency' Good Decorating Scheme By SHELLEY SINGER Chicago -IUPU- "Foolish con sistency," Emerson once said, is the hobgoblin of little minds." It's true that most of us like an occasional surprise, whether it's something to tin gle our taste buds or delight our eyes. Interior designer Manny Shein said that's a good phi losophy to remember when decorating the home. For instance, introducing an unexpected piece of furniture in a place where its individual character gets the spotlight can add a casually sophisti cated touch that sets off a room and makes it different.

Shein said he believes a piece of furniture that is to receive special attention must possess a quality of beauty that is pleasantly off-beat without being ostentatious. If it clearly reflects your per sonal taste, your special man ner of living, chances are it will long be cherished In your household. Once you find it, he says, put considerable thought into choosing the best location for it. Don't bury It in a dark: corner or use it in so conven tional a manner as to undo all design intentions. The designer offers a few examples of pieces that will add interest and the quality of surprise to a room. A spindle-back settee can offer a welcome stop-off in a hallway as a whimsical in troduction to the rest of the house. To make the most of its un usual shape, a small half-moon writing desk could be tucked in a bay window. A miniature chest fronting a dull wall space might offer a rallying point for a picture grouping, providing extra storage as well. And in the dining room, a tall, slim what-not can be fitted between windows to show off cherished china and glassware.
