Vocational N eWs

Girls who take an academic
course In high school may also
be able to gain background In
home economics. If an expert
mental course offered this sum-
mer at the University of Della
ware is successful.
The A week course, SPONSOR
ed jointly by the University and
by the Home Economics Depart
ment, Vocational Division, State
Department of Public Instruction,
will be conducted for high school
seniors who have had previous
home economics instruction.
At the same time, the class will
be observed by Delaware home
economics teachers so that they
may conduct similar courses in
their respective schools.
Girls enrolled In an academic
curriculum have few electives
available in their first two years
of high school, with the result
that they have little or no time
for home economics courses until
their junior and senior years.
At that point, many are reluc-
tant to enroll In freshmen courses
with younger students. Home &C.
onomtcs officials feel that the
answer may lie in s'non-labora-
tory" course, designed to give
academic students background in
such subjects as management of
time and energy, consumer &C.
onomics, nutrition, textiles, child
development and personal and
family relationships.
The teachers this summer will
use the class as a workshop, de-
veloping curriculum materials
that they may sonally utilize
later.
The summer course will be
taught by Mrs. Catherine Bieber,
assistant professor of home &C.

scientist Qbrilliant in his own
field has found acceptance of
his conclusions hampered by an
inability to present his case with
clarity and effectiveness It is
also important for parents to use
good English at home. Irrespec-
tive of what our children learn
at school, they inevitably use
the language they hear at home
and are judged thereby. Hence,
English should be one of the
primary electives for young
people.
THE SCIENCES
We are living in a new age.
When | went to high school, and
even college, the laboratory work
consisted mainly of a few ex-
periments in physics and chem
istry. Not only are these now
outdated, but much new research
and discovery have been added
in this era Of radio, teleWsion,
and other wonderful inventions.
Moreover, we are now in the
atomic age, which will develop
new sources Of power all over
the world.
An elective course in one of
the sciences should be a great
help in getting any kind of job
today. The main thing is to un-
derstand the various terms so
Milford chronicle., 1963-12-13

that you can talk intelligently,
as a salesman or as a fellow
worker. This especially applies
to the nomenclature of the cleo
tronics industry, which is still
in its infancy. Although l gradu-
ated from the Massachusetts In
stitute of Technology, which to-
day is supposed to be "tops" in
electronics, yet l was taught
nothing in my day about that
subject and therefore am
ignorant in that field. Be sure
your youngster takes course in
the sciences.
PHYSICAL HEALTH
Too many young people are
graduating from college as eek
perts" only in football, base
ball, basketball, or some of the
other games in which colleges
compete. Such men are idolized
by the girls, but this does not
help them get good jobs when
they graduate.
My immediate interest is that
you urge your children to take an
elective in physiology and the
studies which treat of their own
bodies and health. Very few of
us have ever understood what a
wonderful creature we are, and
how we can keep well by OBJ
serving few simple laws.

throughout the nation will be
having their young folk home for
Christmas from the colleges
they have been attending this
year. In most cases, when the
young people return to college
they can select certain optional
studies in addition to the com

being specific, I would like TO
recommend strongly that these
"elective" studies be in one

general divisions.
ENGLISH
Any student looking forward to
government work of any kind
will have to take an examination

Ipecially TO those going into the
diplomatic service, or out of the
country on any government work.

Teens Turn Out by Thousands

Thousands of teenagers
across the nation have
found a way to have fun
while doing an important
community project.
They have joined the
Teen Age Program (TAP)
of the 1864 March of Dimes
in the fight against birth de-
fects and arthritis.
Many are helping to carry
out the public education pro-
gram against birth defects, to-
days greatest unsolved child
hood medical problem. Others
are assigned to help with the
Mothers March for the March
/ of Dimes. A great many choose
to think up their own projects
in their schools or suburbs.
Whatever job, it is impor-
tant, because the fight against
birth defects is vital to every
young person who plans to
have his own family someday,
after completing school and
career preparations.
Heading the TAP program
are Judy Meyers, 18, Aurora,
Colo, and Philip Dawson, also
18, Jamestown, N. Y, who are
the national TAP co-chairmen
for the 1864 March of Dimes
this January.
Judy, a freshman at the Uni

Dear Friends:

Dear Friends:
All military Christmas parties
planned before the 22nd of this
month have been cancelled in
mourning for President Kennedy.
Don't know of any Air Force
functions that were scheduled
prior to that date, but am sure
there we're plenty. Hayes usually
keeps such activities to himself
until the last few days and then
we're in a frenzy trying to get
his formal shirt laundered,
settling on what cocktail dress
/ should wear. what time we will
go and leave the children, etc.
It's different atmosphere
here than when Hayes was as
signed to squadron. After being
at Forbes Air Force Base,
Topeka, Kansas, for eight years,
we could go to party at the
officers club and know almost
everyone there. I knew the wo-
en- through club work, through
volunteer work with Family
Services, through Toastmistress
Club that I belong to, or through
our bridge club that met weekly
and had a constant flow Of new
members due to husbands being
transferred.
Here we go to a military af-
fair and many of them are
strictly formal which makes
them seem stiff from the minute
you leave your front door. There
is always a receiving line and
the line is usually filled with
Generals and their ladies'. Those
in the receiving line you know,
but you know them through news

vision. The last one we attended
