sage,
lurking
them over the entire head. 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.

fered for veteran etudenta and
their famil ea by A&M College.
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.

morning, an
The Cook family consists of Archie D., his wile, Mary,
and young son Doyle Jr. They occupy apartment A in
the building numbered Di4 in Col- ‘
order to help
barracks buifding, she has
the
nted
a bed of Zlbnlss under the side
windows of her apartment At the
moment, she’s fighting a losing
possession of those naray plants
which have survived. /
The Cooka also have a garden
plot among those located behind
the College View project. These
plate are aupplled by the Horti
culture Department and are
plowed, ready for the student
gardeners to take over. 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. V.
wives, considers herself a baseball
widow. / Every afternoon when
Archie/arrives home from school,
down dinner, and rushes
practice baseball with his
composed of residents of D-
even row. 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.

THIS IS THE DAY WE WASH OUR CLOTHES . . . 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

"A woman’s advice ; J

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. The head of the house, who
