Boys Favor Soorf Shirts Keeping Junior warmly clothed throughout the school term looms large as a factor in buying his togs. Because many boys wear sport shirts and slacks under a short outer coat during the milder winter weather, it is well to make sure that the shirt Is warm enough, by buying wool sport shirts with long sleeves. Three will be the minimum needed to keep a boy go Jig through the week and allow for washing and dry cleaning. With the same objective of as suring adequate warmth, mothers favor wool socks and, when choos ing boys' undershirts, are likely to prefer the T-shirt t5pe.

Parents Warned of Needed Enlargement of Schools By GEORGE J. HECHT Publisher, Parents' Magazine A favorite phrase with Ameri cans is, "Let's look at the facts." But sometimes, even with the facts staring us in the face, we are too busy to take much notice. Today many Americans are looking at the facts about our need for more schools and Just not seeing them. Let's take a good look at- some of these facts: At the end of last year ... Fact: The United States was short about 345.000 classrooms. A school child today whether ele- Children Told To Eat More This may be hard for parents to believe on the basis of what they see with their own eyes, but nutrition experts say that teen agers are not getting enough to eat! At a time when their diets should be equal to the demands made on their bodies and minds by the changes of adolescence and a heavy schedule of school work, teen-agers are undernourished. This startling revelation comes from the Pennsylvania Human Nu trition Studies during which experi ments were made among a group of teen-agers. It was found that girls, even more than boys, were suffering from food deficiencies. The results were poor teeth, poor complexions, eyestrain and a low resistance to fatigue. What can be done about it? As the editors of Parents' Magazine point out, adolescents require more food than do grown-ups. But equal ly Important is the need for a properly balanced diet. And this balance must start at home with menu planning. Teen-agers are pretty intelligent people and, say the Parents' Maga zine editors, if you make them partners in a project to improve the family diet, you'll find they have a real interest. Here are some basio nutritional facts from which mothers will find it easy to prepare a great variety of balanced meals: PROTEINS, builders of bone and muscle, are found in meat, poultry, fish, eggs and cheese. They should be Included In at least two meals a day for the growing youngster in addition to a daily quart of milk. Make the football hopeful realize this. CARBOHYDRATES give young people energy. They are found in bread, cereal, potatoes and sweets and are very important, but, should not be substituted for more essen tial foods. Many girls, the study lound, were dieting by eating favor ite sweets and cutting down else where. FATS, furnish warmth, combat fatigue and light Infection. Too oft' en they are eliminated by dieting high school girls. Beauty conscious daughter. should know fals, such as butter, contain ingredients necessa ry for a healthy skin. MINERALS, found in fruits and vegetables are needed for bone growth and to keen the body tunc Honing properly. All kinds should be served two or three times a day with emphasis on leafy vegetables, citrus fruits and tomatoes. VITAMINS, essential to everyone, are especially necessnry to grow ing youngsters. Different ones are found In different foods. That's why it is so important for the teen-ager to eat a wide variety of food and plenty of it. Fact: In 1960 and that's only six years from now the elemen tary school child will share his room, his teacher and his school facilities, with 5.000,000 more chil dren: the high school student with an additional 3,500,000 classmates. Fact: In March of this year. Dr. Samuel M. Brownell, Federal Com missioner of Education, said, "If we are to meet current needs we must build 117,000 new classrooms annually. We now build approxi mately 50,000 a year." Dr. Brownell also pointed out that "we started this year with a shortage of about 72,000 prepared teachers for elementary school." What do these facts mean to every American citizen? Look at them in terms of human dignity, progress and happiness. To begin with, they may well mean that our children will be half-educated. One way or another tomorrow's children may have the meagerest of education compared to present standards. Going further, what does it mean to have a population half-educated? Such children are apt to be poor workers, and It is not too far fetched to imagine the nation's pro ductive capacity being affected. Intellectually, the children may well lack the broad knowledge that makes for cooperation and team work, for awareness and tolerance of differences among people and among nations, and for maintain- Tapered Pants Now Popular Tapered pants, along with Bermuda-type shorts, will be seen with increasing frequency on campus, in a large variety of fabrics and colors. They are showing up In every thing, from a heavy brocade to a fake chinchilla, - with long, slim stripes dominating. These pants are being made both strictly as "loungers," or as sub stitutes for slacks and blue Jeans. The "long shorts" are still popular in khaki twill, but worsted plaids partlculaily, are sounding a color note. Flannel, in gray or color, also remains Important. lng their country's status among other nations. Emotionally, they may never be come the kind of adults who are alive with positive curiosity, con stantly enriching himself and others. Many people have said in many ways that the future of the nation lies in the future of its children. It can only follow that the nature of a nation is also determined by the nature of its children. What's wrong? Why haven't more new schools been rising, why aren't teachers being trained and offered better salaries, better teaching conditions? The world ac knowledges that Americans are in genious, a wealthy nation, and leaders in providing education for all people. Government agencies prepare studies and bills. Groups like the National Education Asso ciation and tlie National Citizens Commission for the Public Schools work hard at the problem. Perhaps what's wrong is that the people as a whole the parents of the future citizens have not yet taken the Issue to their hearts and heads. If we are to safeguard our children's and our nation's tra ditional rights, facing the facts la something to be done and soon. Sweaters Preferred For Active Sports By All School Boys Making boys keep warm when they are enjoying after - school sports is a persistent problem, but an old solution is at hand; sweat ers! They provide ample warmth, allow free movement and are tol erated where coats and jackets may be dropped on the sidelines. Sweaters for fall make much greater use of color and design. The modern off-centered motif will be popular. The traditional colors natural tan. soft blue, dark red. etc. are well represented. New combinations such as dark teal green setting-off a band of Scan dinavian pattern in red and white are handsome additions. Cardigan styles, which button down the front, are more suitable for younger boys than for those in junior high school and higher grades. Pullovers are easy to wear and are appropriate for all age levels. Turtle neck sweaters are excel lent protection when they are worn for hikes, etc. Parents Favor New Linings Itffant, mronli tavri? hnVK trin- rll, 7.irwiii lininfrs fnr fheir extra convenience.

Girls Adopt 'Planter Hat' For the coming term, high school girls have taken the "planter hat" for their own. Adaptations of fe doras and Safari helmets appear in furry looking felts banded with soft fabric strips that resemble the grown-up chiffon trailers. The teen-ager's version of the planter features crown and brim that are large, but toned down from the high fashion styles of last spring and summer. Bright colors make the bands younger, and to some have been added Jew eled clips to catch the fabric. Good Strategy It's a good idea to make an ad vance shopping trip without the children. This will enable parents to visualize what is shown in rela tion to school wardrobe require ments and budgets, and turn up much information that will speed the actual buying trip. 9th and Pin Phone 3188 BACK-TO-SCHOOL EVENT Stimulate Appetite Don't worrv If your child spurns milk.
