EDITOR'S NOTE: This is ihe liiill
in a series of articles on student guid
ance. Others will appear in oubse
quont editions of this newspaper.
By Dr. Edward C. Koeber
What's in a name? A lot.
You'd be surprised at the im
portance the average American
attaches to simplv the name of
his trade or craft or work or
profession.
The name of an occupation
is very important to people. It
gives "them a feeling of accept
ance and importance. If the
name of a man’s work doesn’t
satisfy him, he will seek out a
substitute.
The old-fashioned janitor
wants to be known as a cus
todian.
Real estate salesmen prefer
to be known as real estate
counselors.
Tree surgeons use the name
“engineer.”
And what does all this mean?
It means just this: That more
and more, the trend in modern
living is to attach pride to work.
To attach prestige to bread
winning.
However, the name of the oc
cupation a person follows isn't
the first consideration. The first
consideration has to be—
“GETTING HIM INTO THE
RIGHT OCCUPATION.”
That’s where guidance coun
selling comes in. That's where
the responsibility of our educa- J
tional system to our youth j
comes in. In fact, that’s where*
YOUR responsibility to the fu
ture of your children and your
nation comes in.
Of course, it goes without say
ing that the perfect solution to
the problem of offering students
the very best in guidance as
sistance is through the services
of a fulltime professional coun
selor.
Realistically, we all know this
cannot always be accomplished.
At least not right now. So, what
other steps do we take?
First, we should try to put in
to the hands of the students the
best possible materials . . . ma
terials which are written and
published especially for this
purpose. Our teachers and prin
cipals and superintendents know
the value of good student
guidance and they will see to it
that the proper tcrls are put to
work IF we see to it that the
proper tools are made available.
Second, we should play our
individual parts in stressing the
need for this phase c. educa
tional preparation to cur fellow
citizens, to our neighbors, and
to our youngsters.
With these two ingredients,
we will succeed in giving our
future citizens the next best
thing to fulltime, pre.f-ssis-r.al
counselling.
Just exactly what is counsel
ling?
It can be delined in several
ways. Accord:- g to li e ordinary,
dictionary, “to ceuv.ee.’ is “to’
advise, caution, dissuade, per
suade, suggest, etc. ’
Student guidance counselling
is much more than this. The
pioneers in this very important
work see counselling as a con
versation with a purpose be
tween two people.
A student has need for as
sistance. He may went help with
decisions, plans, or personal ad
justments. The other conversa
tionalist —who may be a hcrr.e
room teacher or an eccnomics
teacher or a professional coun
sellor—should be a person with
special skills or equipped with
special materials who can as
sist the student seeking help.
From this “conversation” will
grew many things. It will fester
a plan of direction in the mind
of the student. It will instill
confidence in the future frr him.
It will help him learn to face
problems with calmness ar.dj
with an understanding of the
necessary steps that must be
taken to find solutions.
Counsellors are faced with
many student problems. Even
parents get into the act.
A frantic mother calls and
wants the counselor to counsel
her daughter out of marriage
to a young man before she
graduates from high school.
A father telephones and wants
his son counseled out of wasting
his time on art and study engi
neering instead.
A mother calls because her
daughter is interested only in

Ends Rusty, Red Water Stains
on Laundry and Fixtures
**** v. ,
Ijp;
Here’s good news for suburban and rural housewives who are
plagued by rusty, red water stains in the home laundry and on
household fixtures.
There’s a simple solution to the messy problem and it does not
involve tearing out the hot water tank or replacing a single
foot of pipe.
One chemical product al
ready used widely throughout
industry to control corrosion,
dissolved iron and scale —will
do the job. And it’s now avail
able to the homeowner from
the local plumber or hardware
store.
The product, a crystal form
phosphate inhibitor called Mi
cromet, is simply fed into the
household system through a
compact, inexpensive feeder
mounted in the cold water line
before the hot water tank. Or,
on private well water systems,
the feeder can be installed im
mediately before the pressure
tank.
As it dissolves, the inhibitor
prevents corrosion by forming
a thin, yet tough protective
coating over all metallic sur
faces contacted by the treated
water.
Also, because of its iron sta
bilization properties, Micromet
eliminates red water troubles
such as stained fixtures and
discolored towels and linens

.music. She feels the youngster
should have a wider range of
interests.
These requests from mamas
and daddies are important, of
course. But this is not the pri
mary function of student guid
ance.
In the first place, the student
needs to be guided because he
WANTS to be . . . and not be
cause his parents want him to
be.
In the second place, guidance
can't work without understand
ing on the part of the student
that all this is for his own aid
in facing the future in the oc
cupation in which he is best
suited.
And, in the third place, the
caused by presence of dissolved
iron in the water supply. (Con
trary to popular belief iron
bearing well water does not
turn red until exposed to air
at the faucet.)
The small feeder, which can
be easily installed by the aver
age handyman, holds 3-pounds
of inhibitor. After an initial
charge of 2-pounds, the entire
water system can be kept on a
continuous water treatment ba
sis by merely adding % pound
of Micromet once a month.
(Only 25% by weight will dis
solve monthly.)
Available in one and 3-pound
packages or in 8 and 20-pound
cans, Micromet can be pur
chased through most plumbing,
pump and hardware dealers.
The feeder, in sizes holding
three, five and six pounds of
inhibitor, can also be obtained
through the same sources, e

final decision MUST be up to
the youngster.
Counselling is not pushing. It
is steering.
Our youth need steering. They
need help in helping them t >
find themselves, direct them
selves in today’s tremendously
complicated world.
This is counselling. Whether
it be through a professional
who devotes his entire time to
counselling. Or whether it be
through the services and in
terest and—indeed—love of the
homeroom teacher who is will
ing to use the tools she has
available to help he- students
find their proper pia ss i.i life.
We owe it to them all to neip
in student guidance.

THE CAI.E OF Senator Mike
Mansfield of Montana for a “thor
oughgoing reform” of the nation’s
foreign aid program is an encour
aging straw in the wind.
| -pgr. :J The Senate
Jj-dKWWt i Democratic
Whip, who is
4*3, one of thc
% <W * most respect
eel members of
iJrV the United
tfrfSgm*; States Senate
gUSSi* %, PC3BB and a recog
f/dt'.ilkk:!'"- Af mm nized author
ity on foreign affairs, has on two
recent occasions addressed the
Senate about the urgent need for
Congress to act to correct what
lie aptly called “the administra
tive decadence with which foreign
aid is now surrounded . . . (and)
the costly bureaucratic obsession
to expand the aid program into
whatever nation will have it,
whether it is needed or not.” The
fact that he has added his power
ful voice to those of us who long
have spoken out against the ex
cesses and follies of the present
aid program is perhaps the best
indication yet that the growing
disenchantment of the masses of
the American people with it is
making itself felt in Washington.

WHILE IT WOULD be too
much to expect Congress to re
verse itself overnight, hope has
been renewed that the day of the
great giveaway is drawing to a
close. There seems to be a good
chance that that end may be has
tened with thc adoption at this
Session of some of the amend
ments proposed by Senator Mans
field and others, including myself.
Senator Mansfield wants to
abolish the International Coopera
tion Administration and end all
foreign aid grants, economic as

three years. He would replace
them with scaled-down programs
of military assistance to depend
able allies under thc Department
of Defense and of repayable loans
for specific economic projects un
der the Department of State. He
also is advocating removing tb
present shroud of secrecy whieii
prevents both Congress arid the
people from learning exactly how
foreign aid dollars are being
spent.
In addition, 20 of my colleagues,
and I have offered an amendment,
to require the Administration to
submit to Congress detailed bud
gets of its proposed yearly ex
penditures under the existing
program.

THERE IS AMPLE evidence to
support the recent assertion of
the Wall Street Journal that <Js*
program has become “unhinged
from reason” and that a "new
sense of proportion” must be re
stored to it. Failure to art on
that evidence will amount to, in
the words of the House Minority
Report on Mutual Security writ
ten by Georgia Congressman J. L-
Pilcher, "irresponsibility and in
defensible dereliction.”
There is no man possessed of
conscience and a sense of Chris
tian duty who would oppose any
reasonable and practical pro grant
designed to assure the safety at
his country and to help the newly
of the world. Conversely, the
same sense of proportion and re
sponsibility demands the unquali
fied rejection of the philosophy
that the Treasury of the United!
States is a cornucopia whose out
pourings of dollars can solve alf
the problems of the world.
