Have you caught" college
admission filters? It's a ma
tiOnal epidemic!
Are you afraid that your
application to your favOrite
college will be rejected? Buck
up Even that wouldn't
be the end Of the world.
The admissions officer who
turns down your application
may be doing you a great
favor. In his considered
opinion you are not a good
risk to succeed in his college.
He may save you from failure.
His judgment is based upon
your record and your apph-
cation. If you are turned
down either your accomplish
ments in high school are not
up to that colleges standard
or your case is not properly
presented on your application.
If this occurs, have an al
ternate plan. Start over. This
time be realistic about it. The
particular college you attend
may not be as important as
you think. A college educa-
ton is something you must
get for yourself regardless of
which school you attend.
What you need is an oppor-
tunity to demonstrate that you
can succeed doing college
work.
Here are some steps you
can take:
. Consult your guidance
counselor. He should be in
touch with accredited colleges
that are actively looking for
students to fill out their fresh
man classes.
. Review your applications
that were turned down. Re-
consider your preparation and
aptitude. Choose a field and
a college where you have a
chance for success.

HYPOTHYROIDISM (under-
active thyroid is, l think, one
of the most commonly missed
diagnoses in medicine. Unless
the examining doctor always
has its possibility in mind, he
may overlook it.
In the typical case, which is
difficult to miss, the patient is
sluggish mentally and physi-
cally, his skin is dry, pulse
slow; the patient cannot stand
the cold and is sometimes
overweight. However, there
are patients who do not pre-
sent the typical symptoms.
One may complain of lazi-
ness, another Of extreme nerv-
BUSINESS, and still another of
depression for which he can
find no cause.
No physical examination is
really complete unless your
doctor tests your thyroid func-
ton by taking a basal metab-
olism test or ordering a pro-
tein-bound iodine test; or in
some cases, a radioactive
iodine uptake. Consider the
following letter:
Dear DR.. Steincrohn: l
would like to tell you how l
felt before l had my thyroid
gland checked. l was consti.
pated and neurotic for Il
years before l found out what
the trouble was. l had deer

l had no patience with any
thing or anybody and hated

spent a lot of money on ex-
aminations but no doctor ever
examined the function of my
thyroid gland. At last l re-
uuested the last doctor TO
do so.
He found that l have an
underactive thyroid. He put me
on some thyroid extract pills.

All You Prospective Hair Sea|ers; Here's Instructions On Handling

Following are instructions on the handling of hair seal skins or intended shipment and sale to the Pacific Seal Co.,, Ltd, from which further information can be ob- tained by writing to Zane Ney or Jack Grigsby, Box 4-1256, Anchor age.
 The prices range from $4 to SIS per skin, subject to size, silkiness, coloration and-most important the handling.
 We hope to improve these prices Tn due course, as soon as we are able to cut down the rather ex- pensive shipping costs to Europe by steadily increasing our shippin. quantities.
 A perfect skin would be 4 to 5 feet long, evenly spotted and of black hair right down to the sides. Such skin will bring $15.OO. The next lower quality would be skin with black back and grey, silver colored sides. Depending on how far the black extends towards the sides, the price range for this skin would be from $9 to $15.
 A skin must not be damaged or scared below the flipper holes. One hole below the flipperline re- duces the value by 25 per cen; two or three holes by 50 per cent; more than that-by 75 per cent.
 The lowest quality is the light brown skin with darker brown spots. A small skin of such quality would be worth $4 to $5 and up to $10 for very large ones.
 TREATMENT: Latest instruc. tions based on new experiences.)
 l. Soon after killing, the animal should be skinned and all blood on the skin removed by washing in clear water. Keep skin as large as possible (from the eye to the tail fins). Blubber can then be scraped off with a broad instrument like a putty knife, or peeled with a suit able instrument like you would peel log. Leave 3/8" of blubber on the skin rather than cutting into it.
 2. Wash and rinse the skin very well in neutral detergent (such as ivory liquid or lux) or soap flakes to remove dirt, oil and fat from the hair. This is most important! At no time should the skin come in touch with metal or rust. Rust spots can never be removed from skin. :,

Hilbun died at University
Hospital here. He was admitted
to the hospital last Friday for
an examination and became
seriously i'll a short time later.
Hilbun, known affectionately
to many as "Mr. Ben," was one
of the states best known educa-
tors.
A former student and staff
member Of Mississippi State, he
became the univerSity's 18th

adult life.
A native Of Jones County, Hill
bun enrolled at Mississippi
State after military service in
World War I and received his
bachelor of science degree in
1923.
After two years as secretary

But Defense Secretary Robert
S. Mcnamara indicated Thurs
day that the closing orders were
part of a new economy cam
oaign that would gear savings
to spending.
Until now, that has not al
ways been the case. In the past
because of a steady buildup in
defense programs, the Defense
PolariS submarines and other
defense programs, the Defense
Department had to explain with
each cost reduction why spend
ing was increasing.
Nothing placated Congress,
however. Sen. Kennedy B. Keat-
ing, R-N. Y, introduced a bill
to block the base closings in
