Boy Visits First City
Clears Out For Bush

MELBOURNE, Australia - up
Australia's lonely cattle country,
saw a city for the first time-and
uldn't get out of it quickly
ough.
Scrubcat spent two miserable
oars in the bustling streets and
crowded stores of Melbourne.
Then he begged to be taken out.
The lad, II, is called Scrubcat
because he can make his way
through the widest scrub country
with the instinct of an animal. If
he has another name. he doesn't
know il.
lie can neither read nor write,
but claims he knows the language
of horses and cattle. He has spent
all his life in the bush country
around Tenant Greek not far
from the heart of this island con-
tinent.
Scrubcat got to the outskirts of
Melbourne with horse-drover Lof-
ty Canning. They brought SO
horses TO Melbourne for sale.
Scrubcat and 30-year-old Lofty
drove the horses 900 miles from
Wilcannia in far western New
South Wales. Scrubcat had ridden
another 1,100 miles from Tenant
Creek to Wilcannia.
In Melbourne, Scrubcat slept un-
der cover for the first time in
years--the last time was in 1862,
the year his father died, when he
slept under his fathers covered
wagon.
He came into the heart of Mel
bourne to buy his first suit.
Scrubcat walked into a store,
caught the elevator. and after one
floor got out again.
'My stomach felt all funny in
there" he says. But he braved
the escalator for the next four
floors.
He chose a plain blue suit, pick
ed a white shirt and blue-and-sil-
yer tie, and changed into his new
outfit.
"It looks good, but now I've got
TO get out of here" he said. And
he walked down five flights of
stairs into the street.
There wasn't time for hair
cut. Scrubcat didn't want TO ride
on a tram or bus, or see the
great ships, or eat in a plush city
restaurant. All he wanted to do
was to get out of town and to get
ready to head back towards Ten

Right Clothes
Children
Beat the Heat
BY DOROTHY v. WHIPPLE, M. ..
APP Newsfeatures


APP Newsfeatures
LET'S NOT just crouch and
groan through the heat waves
we're bound to have every sum-
mer. There are a few things we
can do to keep the whole family
a little more comfortable.
Take the question of clothing.
The four principles of hot weather
clothing are: Loose fit, light
weight, porous texture and light
color.
Snug clothing prevents the cir
culation of air around the body.
There is little opportunity for per-
spiration to evaporate. Evapora-
ton is natures way of cooling us
off. Watch the children's clothes
and see to it that armholes are
wide and loose, that neck and leg
openings are roomy and free At
the rate at which children grow
you need to be especially careful
that they are not made extra an
comfortable in hot weather with
tight, outgrown clothing.
Hot weather clothing needs to
be light in weight but even more
important it should be porous, SO
that air can circulate through ii
as well as around it. Cotton has
always been a summer standby
and still is. Some of the new mir
acle fabrics are also porous. but
some are not. For summer time
pick your miracle fabrics with this
quality in mind as well as the fact
that they do not require ironing
While you and the children are
out in the sun light, colored cloth
ing will reflect the suns rays
while dark colors absorb them
You're cooler in light colored
clothes.
The baby's clothes should fol-
low the same principles as those
for the rest of the family. When
it's very hot the baby needs only
a diaper and a loose fitting por-
Gus garment He's better off il
you do put loose top garment
on him than if you leave him
with only diaper. Babies, like
the rest of us, perspire when it's
hot. But babies chill very easily
too. You know how you feel when
you're all wet with perspiration
and there's a sudden breeze
you're chilly. A baby will some
times get so chilled that he be-
comes sick Keep a loose fitting
shirt on the baby even in hot wea-
ther.
And another thing for the baby
leave off the rubber pants dur
ing a heat wave. The tight non
porous quality of any waterproof
protection is very heating. II
you're very anxious for some pro-
lection from the baby's sudden de
luges use wool soakers. Contrary
to what you might think they arc
much less heating than the thir
but tight rubber or plastic pants.
On the baby's bed put one OF
even two non-waterproof quilted
pads between any waterproof pro
lection you have over the mattress
If you don't believe a rubber sheet
is hot just try lying on one some
night when the temperature is il
the nineties. You'll never make
your baby do it if you've ever done
it yourself.

asking other people.

means of finding your way. You
watch whether the sun is on your

@. What sort of salary can
you expect in social work?
A. Starting salaries are low
about $1,000 a year-but
they are improving. There are
opportunities and lots of we'll
paying administrative jobs.
@. Is there a particular
type Of personality that
makes a good social worker?
A. A balanced person makes
the best social worker. In this
field, you should also be gen.
timely interested in and con-
cerned with people.
Evening star., 1956-08-26

@. When do you begin
specializing in social work?
A. That depends on you.
My advice is, don't worry
about taking special social
work training until you have
a solid basic education. Pref
erably, I think, a girl should
take a liberal arts course and
start her social work training
when she's finished college. A
broad basis, not only in edu-
cation but in life experiences
generally. will stand you in
good stead in following up
this career.

then and went to work, be-
cause my husbands career
came first. Social work, how
ever, is one field that GER
tainly can be pursued happily
by a married woman. You
have fairly regular hours, and
it is a job in which femininity
is an asset. Many women
drop out Of social work to
have children, then come back
when the children are in
school. With refresher courses,
they are still able to make
great contributions to the
work.

Teaching Level
Of NegrOesHit
AT School Probe
Lower Standards
In CoIored Schools
Laid to Segregation
BY JAMES G. DEANE and
HAROLD n. ROGERS

The director of instruction of
Washington's elementary schools
today told congressional inves-
tigators she believed the city's
colored teachers Gin general are
not as satisfactory" as its white
teachers.
But Mrs. Bessie w. Cramer,
who worked her way up in the
city's white schools. said the
city has excellent teachers of
both races. And she firmly de-
MED that the city's good teach
ers of either race have lowered
their standards because of in
tegration.
She blamed publicity about
alleged lowered standards for
frightening" some parents into
transferring their children to
private schools or moving to the
suburbs. The current congress
sional inquiry was officially set
up to investigate lowered stand
ards" in the District schools.
Mrs. Cramer testified she had
been shocked" by the differences
she found after indignation be-
tween the educational and social
status of white and colored
children.
Big Responsibility Cited
She told the special Davis
subcommittee it had been a
terrific experience for many of
us" to assume the responsibility
for coping with the large num-
bers of problems brought by
indignation.
II certainly never dreamed
that such conditions existed
among children" she said. She
said white teachers had found
colored children deprived Of
things 1--WE Just take for granted
for our children"
Mrs. Cramer continued:
1--WE found many Negro chill
dren had no concept of home.
They didn't have a mother, or
they didn't have a father. When
asked who takes care of them
they said, We'll, Helen"
She told how a white teacher,
used to working with slow chill
dren, said:
you just don't know where
to start. You have nothing on
which to build"
Mrs. Cramer blamed segrega-
ton and economic deprivation
for much of the situation.
Help Seen in Indignation
Asked how integration had
helped such children, she said:
II think we've been able to do
a great deal toward giving that
child a place where he feels Sc
cure, is respected and loved"

lis expected to hit hard at the
high cost Of living under the
Eisenhower administration in In
|dianapolis today as he nears the
end of his first campaign swing
Through IL Western and South
ern States.
He headed for Indiana this
morning after rousing welcome
i'm st. Louis last night, where
he charged that Republican
campaign techniques are like the
bread and circuses" the Roman
|Emperors used ito keep the un-
easy populace satisfied" in the
declining days of the Roman
Empire.
He was referring, he said, to-
the bandwagons going about the
country complete with movies,
jeeps. girls and gadgets of all
kinds" He told his St. Louis
audience such circuses did not
save Rome, and won't save the
Republicans either"
Will Talk in Milwaukee
After speaking in Indianapolis
this afternoon, the Democratic
nominee will fly to Milwaukee
for a major radio-television
speech over CHS at $3.50 PM,

A member of the Stevenson
staff said the talk from Mil
waukee tonight probably would
deal mainly with education.
There had been reports it would
be major foreign policy
speech, but aides said later that
might be his topic in Minnesota
tomorrow.
Before leaving st. Louis, Mr..
Stevenson talked with his run
ming mate. Senator Kefauver of
Tennessee. by telephone last
night. They compared notes on
their campaign trips. The Sem
ator reported to Mr.. Stevenson
that he found people in South

scandals in the Republican State
government. The Senator also
said he found an increase in
Democratic sentiment in Indi-
ana.
Don't Look at Stove"
Mr.. Stevenson touched briefly
on world conditions in his st.
Louis speech when he said:
But the great cauldron of
the world is now seething to a
boil, while our Republican
friends say all is well and don't
bother to even look at the stove"
On the same theme, he called
attention to the deadly fall
out" from hydrogen explosives,
and to the estimates of scien-
lists that the human species
could survive only so much
atomic conflict. Then he added:
"But hasn't this catastrophe
