fortunately we just do not
have enough qualified guidance
counselors in our high schools
to go around. This is not to
attack counselors as such. They
are badly needed, particularly
with the growing difficulty of
getting into college today. But
there are not enough qualified
men and women in the guild
ance field.
Often the counselorS have
such heavy load that they
can't pay attention to any sin
gle child. Moreover, much of
their time is devoted to getting
students into college. Little
time is left over for the boys
and girls who do not plan to
go to college. These young
sters need just as much help
as the college-bound students,
maybe more.
The Federal Government now
recognizes the Importance of
good guidance counselors. 1t
is financing special institutes
to train and refrain guidance
people. Many colleges offer
courses for students who want
to become guidance counselors.
Unfortunately, this area is still
weak. Many high schools do
not have the funds to pay for
good counseling. That is a
pity, as students and their par
ents should have some place
to turn for help. I would like
to see every elementary, junior
and senior high school have
adequate guidance programs.
With education becoming more
complex each year, parents
need professional help more
than ever. incidentally, I think
1t is cruel to permit a boy to
prepare for his graduation and
then have the diploma yanked
out Of his hands at the last
moment.
Question: I am 43 years old
and a disabled veteran of
World War II. I graduated
from high school in 1949 while
IN a VA hospital. Now I am a
railroad conductor but find that
my legs are kicking up on me,
and I am able to walk less and
less. Before it's too late I'd like
to try schooling. Am I quail
fled to become a teacher? How
do I go about it? What do YOU
recommend? You've advised
others and I hope you can help
me.
Answer: I would strongly
urge that you consult the vet-
erans' administrator in your
city. AS a disabled war veteran

Things to Come
In New Houses
By ANDY LANG
AP NeNsfeotures Writer

The research and develop
ment lads keep coming up
with more and more predic-
tions on what the home Of
the future will be like.
Some of their forecasts are
a little way out, but no more
than past crystal-gazing eff
forts which sounded fantastic
at the time but proved rea-
Sonably accurate.
One Of the latest predic-
tionS is that the lady of the
house will be able to place
her husbands suit in the
clothes closet at night and
take it out cleaned, pressed
and ready to wear in the
morning. Credit that one TO
the vice president in charge
of the consumer products
group Of one Of the country's
largest corporations.
What else does he foresee?
Such things as houses that
never need repainting. grass
that stops growing at a pre-
determined height. mats with
air streams that remove dirt
at the doorstep. dishes that
will be cleanead on their
storage shelves and radios no
longer than match boxes. Ac-
tually. some of these things
already have been tested. but
our man is talking about
them as routine conveniences
of the future.
Sees Conveyors
Another vice president -
this one in charge of re-
search and development at
another large company -
thinks the conveyor belt used
by many commercial es-
Establishments will invade pri-
vate homes before very long.
He puts it this way:
Such a conveyor belt could
be a big labor-saver in the
home. Imagine a conveyor
belt from the garage to the
kitchen, tucked away in a
niche in the wall. You drive
in, unload groceries directly
onto the belt, and a flick Of
the switch later they're wait
ing for you in the kitchen.
No more carrying heavy bum
dies up steps or across the
lawn.
