I could tuess ‘that he was bitterly resent- ul of “the woman's” calm- as: sumption of the position of host- ess in his father's house. As for Aunt Minerva herself, she was almost openly triumphant. Evi- dently she was fully aware of her brother-in-law’s fgelings, and was smugly enjoying the fact that he was powerless to do anything about her. Then there was Beauregard Dumont—or Beau, as was called by the others. He was, as Bobby had said, strikingly like Ameédée, but there was also a difference. That difference was betrayed in the devil-may-care recklessness of his dark eyes and the air of cynical amusement with which he regarded the scene around him, Lee, his elder brother, was en- tirely unlike him in both appear- ance and manner.

Harris PTA Has Inspiring Program Founder's Day was observed at tthe February meeting of the Har- ris School PTA. A skit was pre- sented by members of the PTA. Gerald Saunders was guest speak- er. Principal Ned Simmons opened the program by reading the PTA prayer, followed by the singing of PTA songs, led by Miss Refayette ‘Snider. Mr. Saunders subject was ‘“Bro- '‘therhood.” In his opening remarks, he said. “Ever since the i i of mankind, ill feeling had prevail- ed because of malice and jeal- ‘ousy.”” He then enumerated events that portrayed brotherly love be- tween men that have been instru- mental in raising the level of man- ‘kind to fit in God’s plan. He also stated that the fellow.’ ship that should exist between! members of the human race as individuals should exist between nations. He stressed that peace only comes to man or nations who! ‘possess good will. He mentioned the United Nations as the fulfillment of the late Presi- dent Wilson's dream of a world united for common good. Taking part in the Founder's Day Skit were Mrs. Annie Ulchar, Mrs, Doris Edwards, Mrs, Virgin- ia Key, Mrs. Nellie Louise Curry, Don Wiley, Claude Salis and Glen- wood Sweeting. The room count was won by Mrs, Stensiland’s third grade, and Mrs. Hawkins’ fifth grade. A social hour was held in the Library following the meeting.

Marilyn Rates More Interest Than Baseball By JIM BECKER CENTRAL FRONT, Korea (#— Mrs. Joe DiMaggio continued her Korean tour today, but the boys weren’t interested in baseball.

Rand says: “Elementary and high school children thus are spending at an| all-time record rate of about 3% billion dollars a year.” These figures represent only the [money spent by the youngsters themselves, and do not include ex-' \penditures for clothing and food, lusually purchased by the parents.! |But any parent knows that the young fry of the family also ex- ercise a strong voice in the selec-| tion of these basic items. Few ;mothers would dare pick out a new dress for a teen-age daughter without taking the young lady along to make her own choice. “Although the large number of 16 to 18-year-olds who work part- time while attending high school contribute greatly to this high |spending rate,” Rand says, “some |27 million elementary school stu- dents also have acquired the spend- ing habit.” The clothing bill of today’s youngsters is up in the billions, mainly due to the activities of fashion-conscious teen-agers, says. Rand. He breaks down the younger. generation’s spending thus: “Elementary schoolchildren find movie attendance their largest single expenditure.

If their predictions are correct, Dr. George says, new instruction methods may make it possible for any college student to learn to read, write and speak fluently any foreign language he desires, The {dea was born this way: Dr. George was given a group of 40 foreign students, who could read and write English, and asked to teach them to speak it during a six-week orientation course last summer. With Dr. Di Carlo, an ‘expert in remedial speech work,| he tested the students for sense of rhythm and pitch variation, abijity to repeat sounds and re- member them. The students then were broken) up into two groups. One was taught! by the usual methods, the other jby one which stressed using their jabilities in rhythm and memory! jof sounds, At the end of the test period, those taught by the new method) “Open that safe,” he demanded. | “I don’t know how,” Miss Span- land to understand the rapid-fire 014 replied.

The two professors refuse to dis- jcuss details of the methods they juse to determine a student's abili- ties until a vast statistical study is completed with a pilot group of 200 students from Colgate and Syracuse. They believe first re- turns indicate their theory is sound but they won't say definitely until the project is concluded several months from now.
