banda breakfasts,
 The grandfather said he thought
 1t was about time for old ladies to quit giving advice to the young women of today.
 He said no woman Of another generation can look down her nose at the young wives and mothers of i043. He said thousands and thousands of them not only get up to cook their own and their hus- bands breakfasts, but jump up from the breakfast table to rush to Q job In Q war plant, work there all day, and then rush home at right to cook dinner, clean the house and then go out with their husbands if they are feeling in the mood for Q movie.
 He said many of them arc even doing all that and bringing up a child or two at the same time. And as far as he is concerned, he's tired of hearing about how much Grandma worked and how incon- petent modern girls are.
 MOTORBUs PIONEERS"
 He is rather bored, too, with hearing about the way the pio- neer women crossed the country in covered wagons. At least those women had their men at their side and he points out that plenty of mothers today are following their men across the country, with three or four kids to take care of on crowded busses and trains-and no man to help them make the trip.
 He believes they have it about as hard as the pioneer women since their men could build them huts to live in. And today's hus- bands in army camps or working in cities crowded with war work CTS can't always find places for their families to live, once they arrive.
 This grandfather has decided that young women are having 1t plenty tough these days and that they are proving they can really

District College Deans
Serve as Advisers 10
Uniformed Students

Advisor Extraordinary" should
be the title of college deans during
wartime. Students about to enter
the armed services, men in the Spe-
cialized Training and Reassignment
Unit (STAR) courses, and soldiers
In the Army Specialized Training
Program (ASTP) or Navy programs
turn as a matter of habit to the
dean for advice and guidance.
Each dean meets situation at
once common to all campuses and
peculiar to his own. Father Steph-
en- McNamee of Georgetown Uni
versity has had to handle problems
arising out of the simultaneous
presence of college students and
STAR and ASTP soldiers. The last
two groups have occupied much of
his time in recent months.
The outstanding general reaction,
Father McNamee said, among the
STAR and ASTP men was their ap-
probation Of the opportunity to get
. college education. Many students
have come to him, he added, to tell
him they plan to continue their
studies after the war.
DR.. william Johnstone, armed
service representative and Junior
College dean at George Washington,
gets all types of military problems
also. Questions, range from which
service a boy should enter to which
of her soldier admirers a young
woman student should marry.
Once enrolled in a military edu-
cation program, Dean Johnstone
said, students who did poorly in COL
lege were eager to tell him how they
had improved. One boy who had
hardly passed freshman mathe-
matics proudly came to the ONCE
and told the dean he had passed
Air Forces calculus.
The dean disclosed that men have
written to him from North Africa,
New Guinea, Australia and Iceland.
Dean George Woods of American
University said many students are
concerned with what will hapen to
their scholarships when they enter
the Army. One youth who had re-
ceived scholarship but had been
inducted before he could enter COL
lege thought he was going to lose
the grant. He discovered the COL
lege had adopted a policy of holding
scholarships for all men to whom
they had been awarded.

efficient organization in the COM

In making the whole school per-

in our schools are living in an at

to prepare workers for the war
tasks. Thus, in addition to keeping
the regular educational establish
ment in good running order, the
officers have been organizing new
activities, procuring the proper
equipment and materials, and en-
ploying special teachers for many
new fields Of instruction. The Gov
ernment has made special allot-
ments of funds to the schools to sup
port this program. Many war pro-
duction training classes are now op-
Grating day and night under the
auspices of the Board of Education
where special instruction is being
offered in drafting, radio, automo-
tive and aircraft mechanics, ma
chine shop practice, electricity,
sheet-metal work and welding.
Night Schools Important.
Nor should we overlook the i'm
portant expansion that has taken
place in our regular night schools
where workers employed during the
day can improve their skills and
attainment in shops and labora-
tories. The war industries are In
need more and more of trained men
and women with special skills. Our
schools, for instance, have cooper
ated In the training Of men and
women for the Washington Navy
Yard. Large numbers of persons
employed during the day enroll in
our evening classes, where they may
be trained for greater proficiency in
their war services. Courses being
offered are fundamentals of ma
chimes, electricity and radio, me-
chanical drawing, physics, chem
istry, cable splicing, steam fitting,
machine shop and special wartime
language instruction in Portuguese,
Spanish and German.
The war situation has created a
tremendous demand in Government
offices for trained stenographers,
typists and Office machine operators.
In the commercial training depart
ments of our day schools, and in our
night schools, hundreds of persons
have been trained for this Govern
ment service. Although it is to be
deplored that so many of our young
people are having the continuity Of
their public school progress inter-
rupted, 1t is a fact that many boys
and girls thus employed are releas-
Ing adults nedeed in other phases
Of the war effort.

Federal authorities have planned
preinduction training for prospec-
tive inductees. Sixty-three classes
of this kind have been organized.
In addition to the modified courses
in laboratories and shops, curricu-
lum changes are being put into
effect with special emphasis on
mathematics and science. Also
marked changes have been made
in the physical training of high
school boys with q view to preparing
them as far as possible for the rig
orous demands upon the physical
stamina of young men in the armed
forces.
Lights are seen shining at night
in many schools not only for these
special classes directly related to war
production, but also for groups of
citizens being trained for civilian
defense and Red Cross activities.
Thousands of men and women have
been enrolled In first-aid and nutri-
ton classes. Most of the custodians
in the public schools have been
trained for first aid, for fire fighting
and for handling all kinds of bombs.
A majority of the teachers In the
public schools have met all Red
Cross requirements for first aid and
nutrition. Food conservation and
home canning have been taught
this summer in many of the public
schools. Before the schools closed
last June approximately 3,400 girls
and 1,100 boys received instruction
in home canning. principles of ster-

school students are working in the
fields. This group comprises near
ly one-tenths of Idaho's population.
The state board of education,
with the approval of the Idaho
legislature, has made it easy for
schools to dismiss classes for pc
riod of four weeks or longer with
out financial penalties.
Schools receive state funds on a
basis of pupil attendance. Under
normal procedure, harvest vaca-

during the summer, would serious

But a plan has been adopted
whereby the average attendance OF

Truck farmers of the Florida
mucklands, who produce almost
half of the nations winter vege-
tables, met here over the weekend
to determine If they could equal

They predicted that when the
figures are i'll next spring, they

War Food Crop Goals In
State Call For Con-
certed Work

COLLEGE STATION. Raleigh,
Oct 10-North Cardinals war food
crop goals for 1914 call for about
farm production next year with
an increase of 342,5 500 additional
acres, chiefly in soybeans, pea
nuts. and hay crops, as reported
by the conference held here be-
tween representatives of all agri-
cultural agencies in the state and
War Food Administration officials
from Washington.
The greatest need is for extra
milk and VIA officials at first
suggested that the milk goal be
set at 1850 million pounds as
compared with the 1913 produc-
ton. estimated at 1865 million
pounds. The conference discussion
brought out. however, that many
new milk producers have enter
ed the field only recently and so
VIA advanced the goal to 1923
million pounds for North Carolina
The conference noted that addi--
tional supplies of feed, especial
~ the oilseed meals, must be made
available to milk producers and
that milk prices must be based
upon present day feed costs rath-
er than upon past history, if this
new milk goal is to be met. 1t
was recommended that ceiling
prices be set on feeds.
Eggs rank high ON the nations
list of food needs for 1914 and
the conference set the egg goal
for North Carolina at Sc million
dozen, which represents an in
crease of 3 IL million dozen over
the estimated production of 1913.
The goals for hens, pullets and
chickens showed slight increases
over 1943 but the goal for broilers
was set at 18,140,000 which is
a decrease of about II per cent
below 1943 production.
Because of the feed shortage and
the likelihood that much less feed
will be shipped into North Caro-
lima next year, the conference sug.
gested that sows for spring far
rowing be reduced from $4,000
to 1900 The goal for beef cat
tie showed a slight increase.
The VIA suggested that bright
tobacco acreage for 1914 be in
creased by 20 per cent over 1943.
