We decided to study about some
of the things in nature: animals,

We are learnin many interesting

read stories about them in our

stories from other books. We have
read together poems, which we
hope to memorise. We brought pic

Spring. We put them on our bulle-

We have all made pictures of our

In science class we are studying

we each put dirt in cut-down milk

they could get sunshine; and kept
them watered. Soon we saw them

WHAT YOUNG PEOPLE THLNK
Few Teens Have Saved for College
By EUGENE GILBERT
Gilbert Youth Research Co.

More than 7 out of every
10 teen-agers in the country
want to go to college. but
only one of those seven has
saved a cent toward his edu-
cation.
With teeh-age allowances
at an all-time high (our last
survey showed more than
$40 q week.. most young
people apparently do not feel
obligated to put q little away
each week to help defray the
cost of realizing their college
dreams.
Who do they think should
foot the bill?
Surprisingly. their answer
Is not the Government. More
than 54 per cent Of the boys
and "a per cent Of the girls
are fatty opposed to allocat-
ing Government funds at
any level to pay college tut
ton costs.
Government budgets are
too high now" commented

interviewed have . pretty
realistic idea Of what 1t costs
these days to put q boy or girl
through college.
About % per cent figured
the cost somewhere between
$1,000 and 81. 200 q year. and
another % per cent thought
5000 q year would be more

These government positions
were laid before the IA other

Details on the Lloyd speech,

Rocket Fired
5000 Miles;
Cone Found

CAPE CANAVERAL. Fla,
April 8 (AP) A powerful two
stage rocket shot a tiny ICBM
nose cone 5000 miles over the
Atlantic today. 1t was re-
covered two hours later for the
first time in seven launching at

The cone, which could carry

on target by an 80-foot Thor
Able rocket.

that the recovery by ships To-
Gated in the impact area was
"a secondary test objective but
an additional bonus to the test
program as it will provide ply

The missile roared aloft at
1885 am. (EST), and appeared
to perform perfectly.
The main job was to learn
how well the cone survived the
blazing re-entry from space
through the earth's atmosphere
at speeds close to 10000 miles
per hour.
Two hours after it hit the
water the cone was spotted by
Ia C-54 reconnaissance plane.
Earlier, the cones re-entry,
which was like a tiny meteor,
was sighted by several ships in
