"We find marriage seldom makes a good student out of a poor one," Dean of Students Glenn Barnctt says. Barnett warned that mixing marriage and college can mean troubles for both hus band and wife. 'If the wife was a compe tent student and dropped out for marriage," Barnett says, "she frequently feels an un derlying resentment if her student husband doesn't ex cel." "In many cases," he adds, "his grades go down as the time and concentration needed for his work are nibbled away by the demands of family life." Barnett also says that a student-father can grow extreme ly sensitive about his own po sition while his wife plays the role of breadwinner. "When a girl tells me she is quitting to get married," Bar nctt says, "I try to impress upon her the importance of continuing her own education some time, whether soon or many years from now. "The boy she marries is go ing to continue to grow and probably become a leader in his profession and his com munity. Her growth will have to keep pace with his if the marriage is to succeed," Bar nett says. I Pie A La Mode Started In Cambridge, N.Y., Hotel By EDWARD FLATTAU United Press International Cambridge, N. Y. -lUPIl- Pie a la mode is as American as baseball or the Virginia reel but its origin eludes those not aware of this small commun ity in Ihe Adirondack foot hills. In 1886, a music teacher. Professor Charles Watson Townsend, regularly conclud ed his dinners at the Hotel Cambridge with the combina tion of apple pie and ice cream. When Mrs. Berry Hall, an employee at the hotel first saw the creation, she gasped, "pie a la mode." The name was acceptable enough to Townsend who wasn't fussy as long as his favorite dessert was served. Later that year at fashion able Dclmonico's restaurant in New York City. Townsend requested "his" dessert. When the waiter disclaimed knowl- Expert Gives Advice On Laundering Laces New York - IIU'U - Today, even laces and delicate tea napkins can be machine washed by encasing "luxury" cloths and place mats in a net bag or pillow slip.

High Birth Rate Aid to Maternity Wear Makers By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor New York-lUPIl-The annual baby crop means a harvest of profits for all business cater ing to the carriage set. The latest to enjoy a boom because of the high birth rate-4.2 mil lion expected this year in the United States including one addition at the White House are the makers of maternity wear. No longer is the expectant mother's apparel a matter of a few maternity frocks bor rowed from friend or relative or made from regular dresses. Today's woman buys a whole maternity wardrobe, with the result that sales in the United Slates should reach $250 million in 1963, reports William Ryan, buyer for one national chain of stores (J. C. Penney company). The ranee in style is from daytime clothes to swim suits, cocktail dresses to tapered slacks. Jackie Set Pace Ryan, buyer for 1,700 stores, said Mrs. John F. Ken nedy's chic dress during preg nancy is one factor in the style consciousness of other molhers-to-bc. But he says the strongest edge ol "pie a la mode," Townsend was astonished and then indignant, lie called the manager and described how a little hotel in Cambridge, N.Y. regularly served the dish. Featured on Menu ' With Dclmonico's reputa tion al stake, the flustered manager ordered "pie a la mode" featured on the daily menu. A reporter from the old Now York Sun overheard the conversation and the emer gence of "pie a la mode" was lold in a feature story in the daily the next day. Other newspapers across the nation followed suit and the dessert was soon a household standby. Why did the phrase "a la mode'' become so quickly as sociated with a mound of ice cream on a slice of pie'.' A Wagner college history profes sor noted thai "a la mode" was used widely in the 18!)0's to describe anything extreme ly fashionable. A few persons arc aware of the origin of the term. National Reputation Walter Gann, present own er of the Hotel Cambridge, said his sister was listening to a phonc-in-thcanswer quiz program in New York when Ihe dessert's birthplace was asked. She telephoned within three minutes only lo be told some 200 listeners had already called in the correct answer. Gann credits much of Cam- bridge's national notoriety W" summer days ahead.

During the winter months, Schoet broadcast from California and frequently mentioned the birthplace of "pic a la mode" on the network. In addition, Cambridge is a fashionable resort which has catered lor many years to well-travelled guests who spread its reputation through out the globe. MEDFORD. OREGON factor is "removal of old shackles. Today's woman doesn't go in hiding. "Instead she goes bowling, dancing, boating, swim ming. . . ." All, he said, with the blessing of her doctor. Dozens of high priced couturiers who once would design for very slim only now are busy also creating accor dion pleats, concealed seams and hidden folds in an effort to add style to maternity dress. Maternity apparel is old as Eve, but it wasn't until the seventeenth century that the French began designing clothes specifically for the pregnant. They introduced the Walteau, a pretty shapeless number, named for the French artist who was partial to the style in his paintings. Ryan said research at the costume institute of the Metro politan Museum of Art indi cated Marie Antoinette pop ularized maternity fashions by designing her own, sweeping negligees with a wide, flow ing front. The wrappers, hanging loosely from shoulder yokes and tied as the wearer wished, came along in the 1890's. As late as 1902, Vogue magazine was advising its readers to make their dresses from such stiff materials as linen "with a skirt that can be easily lengthened in the front." Talk of emancipation for women called for a new style j so the "porch gown" appeared in 1913, a dress that permitted i the timid mother-to-be to hazard as least an appearance I on the front porch. ! Today, the best seller in ! the one-piece garment is the ; unbelted shift, said Ryan. It's a favorite with the First Lady, i Next in sales, he said, is the dress with the high-waisted. Empire line, falling full through the mid-section. Down in sales is the two-piece dress with adjustable skirt and butcher boy or smock top. Compiling statistics from the maternity departments of his stores, Ryan said most ex pectant mothers favor blue. Second and third most pop ular colors are soft browns and greens.

' In the artistic design Class I, entries are to be under the sub-division of "Early Amer ican Art," "Oriental Flower Americans Becoming A Snack-Eating Society By JEANNE LESEM United Press International New York IUPD We've be come a snacking society. A study of American house hold eating habits shows that 26 per cent of all meals eaten at home during a six-month period last year were between meal snacks. That's a six per cent increase over the com parable period five years ear lier, j Fifty-three per cent of those snacks were eaten by women. 15 per cent of whom were in the 23 to 44-year-age bracket. Men of comparable age ac counted for only 10 per cent of between-meal snacks and 13 to 17-year-old boys, only four per cent. These and some other sur prising statistics were re vealed in the second national household menu census, a proj ect covering 4,000 United States families. The Market Research Corporation of America (MRCA) which made the census, says the consumer panel represents a cross-section of the U.S. population. Much of the census informa tion is available only to sub scribers, who include major food companies. They use the results for guidance in devel oping new products, improv ing old ones, and planning ad vertising campaigns and prod uct distribution. Unclassified material in cluded the following: Despite the wide availabil ity of commercial products, home-made versions of cer tain hot dishes still were pre ferred in many homes.

Only commercial beef pot pie outranked the homemade variety, 81 per cent to 19 per cent. The MRCA census indicated that we eat far fewer leftovers than many families suspect. Panelists reported that only seven per cent of the dishes served were leftovers. Expensive or not, beefsteak is served at least once a week in low income homos, MRCA said. Fourty-four per cent of the panelists with incomes under $4,000 a year said they served steak at least once a week, and those who served it at all ate it an average of more than twice weekly. The kitchen, surprisingly, outranked other rooms as the favorite eating spot for all meals, although its popularity declined slightly in the five years from 1957 to 1962. The study showed that breakfast remains the most frequent meal eaten at home, and eggs are a popular food for that meal. Nearly 8,600 eggs were served during one two-week period in 1,000 homes, 6,700 of them at the morning meal. A few families reported odd breakfast preferences, such as ice cream and commercial chocolate bars. There were five reported breakfasts of pickles, two of potato chips and one of olives. The latter has historical precedence. Napoleon is said to have polished off fried egg and bean salad breakfasts with olives for dessert. i ii A j.' -j.: ran ACTiviTies Set for Bethel Fall activities for Bethel 69, International Order of Job's Daughters, were plan ned at a recent meeting of the guardian council held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. William Barker, Applegate.
