EDUCATION FORUM
By BENJAMIN FINE
By BENJAMIN FINE

| ciety, regardless of your age.
You are not "cluttering" up
college claSSroomS. In fact,
most colleges and universities
would welcome you. if you are
genuinely interested in getting
an education.
Millions of adults go to eve
ming school and college. Many
have raised their families, have
made their mark" in business
or community life and now
want the stimulation of higher
education courses. Contribu-
tions to society are made in
various ways. They don't have
to be professional or vocational.
You'll learn to be a better
voter, a more intelligent citi-
zen, a more humane and un-
derstanding neighbor, perhaps.
I'm all for college, regardless
of age level. I have found that
some Of the best students are
those who have two important
traitS-maturity and motiva-
ton. So, enroll in college, and
have no qualms. Age is no bar
rier to learning.
Question: ! read frequently
how the population boom is
reaching our colleges and that
it is becoming difficult for stu
dents to gain admission. I've
been told that we should pre-
pare for college years before the
child enters. I would like tC
know when we parents should
begin planning for the college
education of our children? How
should we go about it?
Answer: Many parents are
getting concerned at the lack oi
adequate facilities in higher ed.
ucation. But I'm not worried.
am confident that as our popu'
lation increases the colleges will
grow, too. California, for ex
ample, has developed a mastel
plan. designed to double tn

and other States have simila

Big Push for
Conservation

The prime lesson Of conserva-
ton today ''is that the piece
meal approach Of the past to
resource problems viii not suf-
flee in the 1960s," Interior
Secretary Udall said today.
He spoke before the Presi-
dents White House Conference
on Conservation. which opened
here today. Attending the con-
ference are Governors, cabinet
Officers, congressman. educators
ana spokesmen from national
organizations concerned with
the preservation and orderly
utilization Of the Nations sea-
shores. streams and lakes, land.
Wildlife. timber and fisheries.
President Kennedy will ad-
oress the conference at 1880
am. tomorrow and Vice Pres
ident johnson will give the
conference keynote.
Walter w. Heller, chairman
OF the Council Of Economic
Advisers, opened the meeting
by pin-pointing the theme,
Conservation in the I96Os."
He pointed out that it is the
first to meet in 81 years, since
the days Of Theodore Roosevelt.
Udall Lists Aims
Mr.. UdaH, in his speech,
summarized the new conserva-
ton program outlined to Con-
gresS by President Kennedy. He
listed a wilderness bill, a youth
conservation corps, a land con-
servation fund, a farm bill with
new conservation provisions
and grants to the States for
outdoor recreation planning.
1T is the conviction of this
administration that a new ef-
fort Of Rooseveltian proportions
must be made if we are to Sc
cure an adequate resource base
for the future" he said.
Agriculture Secretary Free
man told the conference that
"today's great need for conser-
vation is on privately-owned
land" which makes up the bulk
Of the Nations land bank.
He said the agricultural pro-
gram President Kennedy has
proposed to Congress this year
brings together for the first
time the concept of balanced
agriculture, conservation and
the urban needs to use land
and water for a multiplicity Of
purposes"
Principal speaker at lunch
con was Chester Bowles, spe-
cial representative and adviser
to the President on African,
Asian and Latin American af-
fairs, who discussed "Co-ordi-
mated Rural Development; Key
Democratic Growth"

ant Secretary at HEW.

ator. Senators Cooper. Demo-
crat Of Kentucky. and Hum

First One Wins
Undying Fame
BY a Star staff Writer

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -
Malcolm Scott Carpenter today
became the second American to
orbit the earth.
All right: Who was the sec
ond American to fly solo across
the Atlantic?
The question has been asked
repeatedly here to make the
point that when deeds of high
adventure are done, the first
to do them gains undying fame
and the second is quickly for
gotten.
John Glenn was the first
American to orbit the earth, Of
course, and Charles A. Lind
bergh was the first to solo the
Atlantic, but who was the
! second?
/ 1t was q woman, Amelia Ear
heart, who flew from Harbour
Grace, Newfoundland, to Lon
donderry, Ireland, May 20-21,
1882. exactly five years after
"Lindy" made his New York
Paris hop.

BEAUTY ROUNDUP
Tanning Not Only
ALeother Process

The object in tanning is
not to look like leather.
Sun tans come in and out
in popularity depending on
fashions whim.
Says Elizabeth Arden, a
tan is now the mark of
leisure whereas a fragile look
was associated with luxury a
hundred years ago. Histori-
ans may remember mid-20th
century America as the era
Of the sun tan"
There's a trick to tanning,
the experts say.
A tanning assist that both
filters and keeps the skin
supple while summing is
smart. Then, too, keeping the
skin moist is important. 9th
erwise that flakey quality
sets in with a tan. Elizabeth
Arden's Sun Gelee in two
colors, cafe or honey, and her
Velva Moisture Film for
after-sun help out. At all
stores carrying the Arden
line.
Antoine de Paris says &C.
quiring an even tan is i'm
portant, but developing the
intensity of the tone which
is most flattering to you is
more so. Brunettes look bet
ter with a very pronounced
sun tan whereas paler red
tressed types look better with
a more pastel-beige complex
ion. Tanning is not meant to
be a lookout" Antoine's
Balm de Soleil has been a
favorite with the bikini
crowd on the Riviera for
years for this reason. At Ju-
Illus Garfinckel & Co.
One week end in the sun
won't net you q proper sun
tan. There are some people
who don't like to use creams
or gooey lotions. For them,
ShultOn's Bronztan Clear Lo-
ton with q delightfully."- fresh
fragrance proves to be an
adequate answer. The plastic
container makes it a perfect
beachgoer. Just a squeeze
gives you enough lotion to
cool you and keep you from
the burning rays. Shulton
also has a Bronztan After
Glow preparation for after
exposure to the sun. The
clear amber lotion combats
dulling dryneSS. There's no
stain, or sunscreening agents
in it but plenty of moistur-
izers, to make your tan last
longer and look more satiny.
These two are non-sticky
types. At Peoples.
That Tahitian tan you're
seeking as you follow the
sun includes not only tanning
your body but may have as
its companions puffy eyelids
or blistered lips. Lanvin's
new Sun n Fun" prepara-
ton is full of news. Inserted
into the side is a special sun
screen stick that is meant
for the eyes and mouth. They
even intelligently provide a
round disc of q mirror on the
cap so you can see what
you're doing. The tube con-
tains q new formula sun
cream that spreads easily.

Contrasting Personalities
In 1860, he and his wife,

to beat the incumbent Demo-
cratic Congressman by 1900

Kennedy carried the district

Despite the similarity of their
backgrounds, Mr.. Dilworth and
Mr.. Scranton have sharply
contrasting personalities. The

Corps veteran Of two wars, is

In contrast to the Dilworth
buzz-saw technique. Mr.. Scran-
ton. who flew for the Air Force
in World War II. goes in for
gentle persuasion, presenting
himself to coffee klatsches and
other gatherings Of voters as
the fellow who is wise enough
