Why . your are born and why
you are living depen i entirely on
what you are getting out of this
world and what you aregiving to
it. I cannot prove that this is a
balance of mathematical perfec
tion, but my own observation of
life leads me to the conclusion
that there is a very real relation
ship, both puantitatively and
qualitatively, between what you
contribute and what you get out
of this world.—Oscar Hammer-
Is College Education Important?

IS IMPORTANT..
THE WEEK’S LETTER: “Moth
er and dad insist we children go
to college to further our educa
tion. Could you tell me why it’s
so important? Do all parents feel
this way?”
OUR REPLY: Unfortunately,
thousands of parents desire col
lege educations for their children,
yet are unable to manage it finan
cially. If your parents are able—
or willing through sacrifice—to
send you to college, you should
consider yourself extremely for
tunate
A college education is impor
tant. In many well-paying fields,
a college degree is a job require
ment. A college graduate can ex
pect a higher salary for his serv
ices than a high school graduate.
The average employer believes
the college . grad better qualified
to accept responsibility and is
w illing - to “pay the difference,’’
even though a high school grad
might creditably perform the
same job at less pay.
Specifically, the college student
can direct his training toward a
particular profession. He may
become a doctor, dentist, or a
lawyer.
On the other hand, let us as
sume there is a “family business”
which you will take over some
day. Why worry about the future
if it’s all mapped out for you?
You should worry about it. If you
hope someday to have something
to pass on to your own children,
you will have to be able to keep
pace in this competitive world.
Education enables you to .do your
best whatever you do.
Times have changed since mom
and dad were youngsters. Only a
small percentage of high school
grads were lucky enough to go
to college then. Now going to col
lege is the dream of high school
graduates everywhere ... and it
is a dream that may be fulfilled
by the student who is capable.
On any college campus you
might happen to choose, you may
find students who work day and
night to gain for themselves the
advantages of a higher education.

Teen Says Going Steady Is No Engagement

PARENTS

ADVICE/
THE WEEK’S LETTER: “1
recently read your article about
(against) a fifteen year old boy
going steady. I fully disagree with
you, however I do not think fifteen
is exactly the right age for a boy
to go steady. You also suggested
boys and girls getting together in
a supervised picnic. I think if par
ents do no; trust their fifteen year
old children to go to a simple
picnic alone they are the ones that
need the advice. You said to go
steady when you are looking over
v.-.V--."
a marriage partner. 1 wouldn’t
exactly call going steady an en
gagement. Maybe you should take
some advice from a few teenagers
and find out what going steady
really means to them. When did
you first start dating? I think if
you answer this question honestly
you may find that you weren’t
much older than fifteen and if you
were it seems sort of abnormal to
me. Especially in the modern
generation. Maybe if so-called
“adults” would talk with their
teenage sons and daughters and
understand them, there would be
less delinquents and less misun
derstandings with parents and
children. I think if you refer to
other teenagers with regard to my
letter you will find that they agree
with me.”
OUR REPLY: The majority of
teenagers consulted would agree
with you and, in this respect,
things haven’t changed in twenty
years or more.
There is a big difference be*
tween “trusting” children and just
“turning them loose.” The parent
who doesn’t keep up with activi
ties of a fifteen year old—boy or
girl—is shirking responsibility.
Going steady certainly is not an
engagement. With many teen
agers, it’s merely a matter of con
venience—saves having to worry
about getting a date for Saturday
night. And some teenagers do it
just because everybody else does.
This writer’s first? Too long ago
to remember.

BIG 4-H DELEGATION C0A1ES
FROM 50 STATES AND ABROAD
FOR WEEK OF MEMORABLE EVENTS
An estimated 1,500 of the
nation's best 4-H youths travel
to Chicago right after Thanks
giving to participate in the 41st
National 4-H Club Congress.
They are joined by 500 4-H Club
leaders, educators, business
officials and guests from abroad.
The congress convenes on
Sunday, November 25, in the
Grand Ballroom of the Conrad
Hilton Hotel, headquarters for
the week-long event. But dele
gates begin to arrive as early
as Friday. They travel by bus,
plane, train, and come from all
50 states, Puerto Rico and a
dozen foreign countries.
Keynoter at the Sunday after
noon session is a former 4-H
Club member, and one who this
year is honored nationally as a
4-H alumnus. He is the Honor
able Buford E. Ellington, gover
nor of Tennessee.
“Citizenship in Action” is the
1962 congress theme. The prin
ciple speaker on the theme is
Dr. Glenn Olds, president of
Springfield College (Massachu
setts).
Also talking on the subject is
a panel of leaders in agricul
ture, business and labor. Ques
tions to be answered come from
the 4-H’ers themselves. The
moderator is Dr. Russell Mawby,
assistant director of extension
at Michigan State University.
Expect Many Firsts
The young people.have a week
crammed with many “firsts”
such as meeting prominent U.S.
citizens, seeing the internation
ally-known museums of Chicago,
listening to the 106-piece Chi
cago Symphony Orchestra, en
joying the companionship of
fellow 4-H’ers from north, south,
east and west.
Perhaps thp most valued per
sonal reward is the fact that
every single one of the 1,500
boys and gyrls has all expenses
paid. This highly regarded prize
is theirs for having achieved an
excellent 4-H Club record. In
addition, more than 200 dele
gates go home the richer by a
college scholarship.
And how is all this made
possible? By the generous dona
tions of more than half a hun
dred American business enter
prises which have consistently
supported the 4-H Club program.

Chemical Corp., Allis-Chalmsrs

annual 4-H congress a reality.

ITEM. The California seedless
grape harvest has passed its peak,
but housewives will still find table
grapes an exceptional buy for this
time of year. Production this year
is reported to be 30 per cent
higher than last year. Prices are
slightly lower than in 1961.
* * *
ITEM. Family managers will find
no decline in prices of dairy
products at their local markets,
although the government has cut
price supports from 5 to 12 per
cent. Government surpluses are
increasing so fast that they can’t
be disposed of, even when donated
to school lunch programs in other
countries.

ITEM. The U.S. Labor Depart
ment’s consumer price index
shows there has been a decline in
the prices of many items during
the past few weeks, including new
cars, tires, gasoline and house
hold appliances. Now, one of the
great mail-order houses has re
duced the price on 2,000 items.
This is, observers say, a further
indication that prices of goods are
soft throughout the country.
Meanwhile, as reported in this
column, the cost-of-living index
continues to climb. This is due,
in most part, to higher prices of
services.
Rev. ROBERT H. HARPER
TWO OLD MEN
W HEN Napoleon Bonaparte
returned from Elba, made
his triumphal way to Paris, and
scattered the regime the Allies
had set up for France, he issued
the last great call to arms and
youth and aged alike answered
the summons. Though youth were
called, it was largely older men,
including the famous Old Guard
and other veterans who fought in
the battle of Waterloo.
JUST A THOUGHT:
If man can see one foot be
yond the end of his nose he
cannot go through life without
coming to the realization that
the handiwork of God sur
rounds him every step of the
way.
I thought of those veterans of
Napoleon as I read that Aden-
hauer and De Gaulle were meet
ing in Paris, to discuss the prob
lems of western Europe. There is
a strong. appeal to the imagina
tion as we think of the leaders of
two mighty nations that have
spilled the blood of their sons in
wars against each other so long,
with victory going to one side and
another, now meeting to work out
enduring peace.
Thus often have old men, like
Moses of ancient time, led the
way and pointed with unerring
finger to the land of promise. And
we trust that in maturity of wis
dom the great and sore problems
of the distressed world may be
worked out to the good of man
kind.

Wagon Wheel Skillet is full of
the tang and flavor and color of
the West. Alternating rings of
green and gold, with a touch of
tomato red, make up the vege
table course for a big family or
company barbecue. Whole Cali
fornia Brussels sprouts make a
ring as green as prairie grass
Each sprout has its fair share of
rich, sunny flavor and toothsome
crunch. Corn-off-the-cob makes a
ring of yellow gold, and tomato
wedges finish off with one of flam
ing red. The whole shebang cooks
together—right on the grill or on
the kitchen range—with a good
drenching of butter, garlic and
chives.
WAGON WHEEL SKILLET
(Makes 10-12 servings)
2 tablespoons batter or
margarine
2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 teaspoons chopped chives
>4 teaspoon pepper
3 packages (10-ounces each)
frozen California Brussels
sprouts
2 packages (10-ounces each)
frozen whole kernel corn
3 tomatoes, cut in wedges
Vi cup chicken stock or
bouillon
Melt butter or margarine in
large skillet. Add garlic, chives
and pepper and cook 5 minutes.
Starting at outer edge of skillet,
arrange circles of vegetables as
follows: Brussels sprouts, corn,
tomatoes, and again, Brussels
sprouts. Pour stock or bouillon
over vegetables. Cover and cook
over low heat 25 minutes, or until
Brussels sprouts are tender.
HOW ONE COUPLE FOUND
THEIR PARADISE AFTER 65
efTVfY HUSBAND and I are
thoroughly shocked by the
image of retirement some people
paint in your column
And thereupon a happy wife
told how she and her husband
moved to Albuquerque, N. Mex.,
and found their Golden Years.
“My husband retired in 1957
after 35 years with his company.
He was 65, and I was 62. I elected
to take my Social Security then
and our combined Social Security
check is now $166.40. My husband
has a company pension of just
under $100 a month. Out of this
we deduct $15 monthly for Blue
Cross and Blue Shield.
“We owned a large home on five
acres just outside a large town
in the Midwest . .”
The couple wanted to move, and
nad chosen Albuquerque. They
visited it several times on vaca
tion. They found the climate kind,
the people friendly and the scen
ery colorful. Also, one of their
sons lived there.
“We sold our home for $30,000
cash,” the wife continued. “We
also sold our furniture, reserving
only my fine china, our hi-fi
records and my husband’s model-
railroad equipment. All this we
moved to Albuquerque in our son’s
pick-up truck. (Retired people
who move are showing a growing
talent for borrowing or renting a
truck, or trading their car in for
one, in order to move their re
duced households at small cost.)
“We bought a home in Albu
querque, paying just what we got
for our old home. We bought new
furniture. We did not lower our
standard of living.
“We never liked hamburgers or
noodles and still don’t. So our al
lowance for food is above the
average. But we can hare the
food we want and live comfortably
on our net income of just under
$250 a month. We have our hi-fi
music system, a color TV set (a
gift from our son), a 1961 car
We also can take care of our life
and car Insurance premiums.”
The couple takes life with a
low-key effort They arise between
7:30 and 8:00 A.M., have a slow
breakfast, then read the news
paper thoroughly. After that they
may, on a normal day, go out and
work in their flower garden, or
work on their lawn, “which is the
talk of the neighborhood.” Or they
may work on mosaics together or
go fishing.
Individually, the wife may work
on her knitting or crocheting. The
husband may play with his model
railroading or make models of oil
refining equipment or the Space
Needle at the Seattle World’s Fair
Once a year they go camping or
take a vacation away from home
“This,” said the wife, “com
pares with life back in the Mid
west where we arose at 5:30 A.M
every day, where my husband
worked about 10 hours a day, and
where, after that, we had to keep
our five-acre tract presentable
We fell into bed at 10 o’clock
every night, and the only leisure
we ever had during my husband’s
working years was his three-week
vacation per year.
“We have time to enjoy our
friends now, and we entertain in
formally on the slightest excuse.
Wc have time for concerts and
lectures, which are numerous in
this university town. We are even
taking up the study of Spanish.
