The healthier the acalp, the healthier the hair, so in massaging go after the very roots of your hair—to stimulate scalp circulation and to loosen and remove the dead cells. Do not alarm yourself about the hair which will fall out during a massage. The scalp alternately sheds and grows hair, and any strands which arc loosened in mas sage were merely clinging to the scalp anyway until the new; hairs pushed them out. The cardinal rule for healthy, beautiful hfcir is the same as it was in grandmother’s day—regular brushing. | So resolve now to do those humjred strokes q day wheth er the weather be hot or cold! Coarse hair can be subdued and trained by regular brushing, and soft, fine pair, with the slight body given it i by a home permanent, such as Kayve, responds just as readily to the same grooming treat ment. Brisk daily brushing will re move the; day’s accumulation of dust and , lint, and will stimulate and nourish the scalp and distrib ute the Hair’s natural oil evenly over every stran'd of hair. And it jis just as easy to brush the hair ;correctly while you are at it. Best procedure is to brush at right angles to the line of the waves and brush vigorously, giving the brush a rotary motion with the wrist. Remember that beautiful hair is not solely a natural gift. It is largely the responsibility of its owner tq keep the hair clean, brushed and neat at all times. Leading druggists are currently sponsoring a Summer Hair Care program, j Check witih them, get everything you need for a thor ough home grooming program, and then get to it! With regular care, youij hair will be alive, lus trous and ialwdys beautiful, a flat tering frame tp enhance the beauty of the fate. A. D.

Their term of occupancy i* set at one year by thS Cofle graduate w th a degree in Chemi cal Engineering. His new senior ring attests to iha fact that he la close to Ms goal. Archie and Mary are natives of Fort Worth where they met while freshmen at Fort Worth Technical High School. Archie specialised in sports, especially basketball. Being a large blonde fellow, he appealed to Mary from the start. Her dimi nutive site and pert appearance at tracted him, and they were mar ried in 1948, upon graduation. Another important event happen ed in 1943. Archie joined the Navy. He was stationed in. California for quite a while, and then he shipped aboard the aircraft carrier, Bunk er Hill. , On May 11, 1945, the carrier was hit by two Japanese suicide planes, off Okinawa. The dead numbered 392, and Archie still doesn’t remember how he pushed his 195 pounds through a port hole to safety. / Two days after this unforget table occurrence, A. Doyle Junior was born. Then, in November of 1945, Archie was discharged with the rating of Aviation Ordinance man, First Class. After the war, Arqhie decide like many veterans, td continup^his education. The {Cooks sperjT two years in Arlington/at NTAC, and then came to Aggieland In many ways/ they/are a typi cal College View fapmy. Like most other College V|Cw wives, Mary bundles up he^r weekly washing, loads it on/Doyle’s wagon (when Archie has.The car at school) and pulls it the laundromat. On weekends the family jour neys to/the grocery store for next weeky supplies. Since they have a large new refrigerator, they have no food storage problem. For thqke families without refrigera tors, the College furnishes a stan- ard-type ice box. These families must shop oftener during the week for their food, especially meat. Mary finds her apartment roomy enough for her family, but she lays that it ia hgrd to keep clean because of the dust that constant ly blows through the windows. She shares this dust problem with all other C. V, housewives.

Th* Col lege Station Development As sociation hie offered money prises for those gardena which produce the/largest quantity and biggest variety of vegetables. Mary, like many other C.

He has to keep his pitch ing arm warm for the days when his team plays other College View teams in'ah intramural contest After baseball practice, another sport is ready to entice the Col lege Viewers away from their books—volleyball. The volleyball games last late into the evening since a light has been rigged up whjeh floods the court. / Doyle is really the baseball fan in the family, though. He never lets his baseball and bat get far out of reach, even when he sleeps. He wears his baseball cap everywhere except in the shower and to church. His par ents had a hard struggle getting him to take it off for church, though. Despite his three years, Doyle is very proficient at the sport. He can bat a ball harder than many older boys. Next week, Doyle will be four, and a large celebration is planned. A round of birthday parties is al ways being held at College View, and each child gets his turn as the months go by. Naturally, there will be ice cream and a birthday cake at Doyle’s party. Other eoulpment includes crepe paper hats, balloons, and favors for tne guests. It will be a big day in his. life. Like all other CoUisge View fam ilies, memories of the Cooks life at College Station will stay with them for many years. There are hardships, but these arc compen sated for by the friendships form ed and the fun enjoyed. STORY BEFORE BEDTIME Though Doyle’s foi J*v - I I __ T _ r jeV interest is baseball, he enjoys taking time off now and then his mother read a favorite story from his collection of chj| i books.

Doyle Cook helps his mother take their washing to the laundromat from their apartment in College View. Washing days are staggered in the apartments so that each veteran’s wife will have a day to use the clotheslines. These Hints Are Sure to Please Use fresh snap beans for a deli cious and putritive luneheon dish for school days; just serve them in u cream or cheese sauce with slices of, hurd-cooked egg as a garnish. Buttered earrots are good with this dish. Dessert might be raisin-oatmeal cookies and milk. Plain baked custard becomes party fare when it Is served with a sauce of canned red cherries. Thicken the juice from a can of sour pitted red cherrlea with corn- sturen a,ml sweeten with sugar. Cool and add some of the cherrlea before passing with the custard. I j Orange sections may simmer for about five minutes In n sugar syrup and then be used aa an accompani ment for a baked ham slice, For a delicious flavor addition stud the outside rim of fat around the ham slice with cloves before baking. Mrnlloped potatoes, flavored with n little onion, are good served with this ham and orange combination. For a different salad, soften cream cheese add mix with sliced pimento-stuffed olives; mound this mixture attractively on thick ripe tomato slices and arrange on wa tercress or shredded salad greens. Serve with French or old-fashioned boiled dressing. I j ■ r When you want to combine salad and dessert fill pear halves (fresh or canned) with a mixture of fine ly cut celery, walnuts and mayon naise; serve on romaine or esca- role. Finely cut dates may also be added to the pear filling if de sired. > -/ Mold flavored gelatin in an eight-inch square pan and when set cut in cubes; serve the cubes us a salad on u bed of shredded greens with sour cream dressing; or serve us dessert in sauce dishes with soft custard sauce. Cheese Is an excellent addition to make to scrambled eggs—both from the point of view of nutrition and flavor. Cook the eggs in a double boiler and stir in grated American cheese or a little cream ed cottage cheese just More serv-’ ‘/ ' Many tangy cheese sticks are be ing vacoum packed In metal con- tumors to assure oven crispness and flavor until the consumer Is ready to use them. ;\ • • y.j : Leftover baking powder biscuits may be split, buttered and toast ed, then used as a base for a to- mato-cheese-bacon combination, or Cut a half dozen marshmallows in quarters and arrange them over a chocolate bread pudding shortly before it irto come from the oven; serve hot with thin cream. \ Serve green snap beans in cream sauce occasionally. For ex tra flavor add grated yellow cheese to the sauce. Minced parsley improves the fla vor of coleslaw; add a generous amount to the salad before folding Always make gravy in the same pan in which the meat was cooked so as to use all the drippings; gra vy made this way will usually have good color, Cream butter and add lemon juice, finely chopped parsley, aalt and paprika | mix well and serve over broiled or baked fish.

It was obviously its f r a m e of, referenda doesn’t seem to have dn r tion here. 1 The Spanish have fu jroverb, too, Mr. Rung] "A woman’s advice ; J much, but be who doe; Listen To The Ladies It May Be Worthwhile , By CYNTHIA LOWERY The editor of a Chinese daily paper, one Rung Teh cently advised—in print—the acting president of Chipa to listen to his wife, even if she were right. Editor Rung went on to say that Generalissimo !Cljii|n Rai-shek and the late Sun Yat-sen, first president <>f nese Republic, had been “disastrous failures” beca had fallen Into the pitfall of heed-' ► ing distaff advice. ". . . When a hen crows to an nounce the dawn it signifies mis fortune for the family," Rung ed itorialized solemnly. “Similarly, when a woman interferes in the government it presages disaster for the nation." It might be a little presump tuous to Hugest that maybe many of China’s troubles stem from at titudes like that taken by Editor Rung. In a republic called the United States, it Is deemed a sign of virtue for a man to pay atten tion to the advice of his partner., In fact, he boasts about it openly. During a recent presidential campaign, a man named Harry Truman appeared on the rear plat form of a train many times, and almost invariably brought his wife forward with words like "And now I want you to meet the boss." Then his daughter came forward to his Introduction — "Meet the boss’ boss." The people loved It, because it was home-spun humor that had more than a grain of truth in it. At about the same time, Editor Rung, another fellow was barn storming the country with the idea of becoming president. In press conferences, over the air and on other occasions this man, named Thomas E. Dewey, explained that Mrs. Dewey was his toughest critic and most severe editor. She went over every speech be fore he gave it, and bluelpencilled things she didn’t like. He talked over all his problems with her, he said. Messrs. Trupmn and Dewey are merely rather flashy examples of a common practice in this country, Editor Rung, and it seems to have worked out rather welp Some times, in fact, women have been able to come up with suggestions —political and domestic which made some sense. Just the other day in my nqck of the woods, the hot water boiler of a friend’s house refused to heat.
