Coed Housewife Takes Honors
As Scholar, Mother And Cook
BY ELLIOTT CHAZE :
AP Nezwsfeatures
DENVER — This is a story for
housewives who think thy've got
it tough. :
It’s about Mary Minor, 26, «who
took a week off from school to
have her second baby; who re
cently. made Phi Beta Kappa at
the University of Denver; who
served as an army nurse in Eu
rope during the Ardennes cam
paign and fell in love: with a man
with a broken back.
The man’s her husband now and
the back’s okay. She met him here
at Fitzsimons - General hospital
after she returned stateside from
Europe, and he, from China ser
vice with the infantry.
“He was practically cemented to
the bed and I was the ondy female
nurse in the word,” Mary says. “He
didn’t have a chance of getting
away.”
In December of 1946 the com
bination of being in love—and out
of the Army—added up to mar
riage and the following year Mil
lard and Mary Minor enrolled at
the university.
After one quarter of the school
year Michael, the first child, ar
rived and Mary didn’t get back
to her classes until January of
1949. A psychology major, she
then proceeded to whiz through
the remainder of the course in
six quarters, when 11 would have
been par. She got her Bachelor’s
degree and rates in the top two
per cent of her class.
Her husband collected his B.
A. last year and is now whacking
away at his Master’s in Anthro
pology.
Sounds simple, doesn’t it? But
it wasn’t.
Seven months ago the second
baby, Maryanne, came along. Mary
attended classes one Thursday
afternoon, went to a hospital the
following morning and gave birth
to the child. The next Friday she
was back at school, brightly scrib
bling notes on the resonant ob
servations of her favorite pro
fessor.
And there’s been the business
of baby-tending all along.
the National Convention will be
given and Mrs. Lela R. Mize is
to give a talk on National De
fense. The installation of offi
cers will take place at ihis time.
Clarke County Women -Voters
will meet July 10 at 1 p. m, in
the Holman Hotel and will hear
a discussion of proposed legisla
tion in the next State General
Assembly, Taking part will be
State Senator-elect Robert G.
Stepliens, Representative Chap
pelle Matthews and Representa
tive-elect Grady Pittard. The
discussion will deal with gaso
line tax allocation, finaneing
the Minimum Foundation Pro
gram, complete tax revision,
proposed sales tax and the juve
nile court bill for the Athens-
Clberton - Washington district.
Reservations can be made by
telephoning Mrs. William J.
Russell at 1092-J.

The Minors can’t afford a
sitter on their G. I. allowances, so
they’'ve scheduled classes in such
a fashion that Millard can do the
feeding and scrubbing: of the ba
bies while Mary’s at school, and
the other way round.
On occasions where there is a
conflict of 'schedule and both must
be at the university, a neighbor
in the veteran’s village where the
Minors have-a- three-room hut,
helps out.
In return for this Mary Minor
takes over the neighbor’s child on
Saturdays and Sundays.
If Saturdays and Sundays hap
pen to be free she may find a
private nursing job in Denver or
the suburban area, pick up a few
badly needed dollars while Mil
lard does the washing back home.
Six hours sleep is considered an
incredibly lush, restful night in the
Minor’s clapboard manor, Their
mechanical can-opener takes a
steady beating. Mary says they've
learned a lot of ‘“short-cuts” in
housekeeping and that they’ve also
learned to “short-cut certain short
cuts” swallowing large helpings of
psychology and anthropology along
with tinned beans and vienna sau
sake. On steak and roast nights
the textbooks aren’t brought to
table.
“I think perhaps the study of
psychology has helped me in deal
ing with Michael,” Mary says. “I
know it helped once. I spanked
him with a texatbook — a very
thin one.”’
By June, 1951 both Mary and
Millard expect to have their de
grees, and to begin Shopping
around for jobs as college teach
ers, preferably posts on the same
campus.
“T think it’d be the best setup
for making a decent living, and
yet having a real family, in the
right kind of environment,” Mary
said.
The livingroom-breakfastroom
kitchen-library of the hut in vete
rans’ village was more than slight

talking in the next hut and the

“NINOTSCHKA” WOWS BERLIN
BERLlN—(AP)—Ninotschka”,
Hollywood’s 12-year-old satire on
Moscow Communism, is still one
of democracy’s hottest weapons in
its cold war with Russia here,
This film had west Berlin gig
gling in 1948 when giggles were
hard to get-—dauring the Russian
blockade. It was reissued during
the Whitsunide march of Commun
ist led east German youth on Ber
lin.
That turned out a happy choice
because it gave the visiting east
Germans a chance to laugh at
their Soviet occupiers and their
home-grown Communist rulers.

world cause of vision impairment

PETAL APPEAL
Fresh Flowers:
BY ALICIA HART
NEA Staff Writer
You don’t have to restrict your
wearing of fresh flowers to those
special occasions when the florist
knocks on your door. Corsages
are nice, both for building morale
and for adding that extra filip to
important affairs. But you are
limiting yourself if you depend
upon them alone for your flower
accents: ¢
The role flowers can play in
supplying that important dash of
color to your costume was pointed
up in the spring when artificial
flowers hit new heights of popu
larity. Now that summer’s here,
fresh flowers are coming into the
spotlight.
With blossoms abundant every
where fromr country gardens to
city vendors’ baskets, it’s neither
necessary nor clever to wait wist
fully for beau or husband to send
you flowers. Too often they choose
the wrong color anyway.
Select them yourself, to enliven
your clothes, to enhance your per
sonality and to underline your
moods. Big boldly-colored flowers
such as dahlias or tulips give a
dramatic effect when worn singly
on shoulder or waist or handbag.
They are particularly effective
‘against dark’ ?;Pons or linens,
. Small-petaled pastels add dain~
tiness to summer sheers. Weave
them as a cluster into your pearls.
Or string them into garlands to
wear as wristlet, necklace or even
as a border on the peplum or
neckline of your dress. Tuck small
bouquets into your pockets as if
they were baskets.
For formal wear, try cascading
carnations down your skirt, Or let
sweetheart roses fall from your
shoulder at the end of varying
lengths of satin ribbon.
For evening hair adornment,
pompomr flowers like chrysanthe
mums are atiractive worn Orien
tal style above your ears. These
are best with severe, swepi-back
hair-dos. For fluffier styles, sprin
kle tiny flowers among your curls.

KAMINA, Belgian Congo—This
little whistle stop on the Port
Francqui-Elisabethville railway is
on the way to becoming Belgium’s
‘biggest overseas military base.
Squads of Congolese working
under the supervision of 175 Eu
ropeans are carving a huge air
field and military camp out of the
surrounding jungle. In the case of
hostilities Kamina would become
the king-pin of the colony’s de
fense.
About 150 miles to the southeast
lies plenty worth defending—the
Congo’s uranium mines, the rich
est known in the world.
- . With. an area eighty times: the
size of Belgium at their disposal
the Belgian technicians . are. not
being skimpy about the size of the
field. Its' longest runway is sched
uled to stretch three and a half
miles. Over 100 miles of roadway
are being laid out. Altogether the
field and military base will cover
132,500 acres, when finished late
in 1952.
During 1949 the construction ate
up $1,740.000, or about one tenth
of the sls million dollars estima
ted as the final cost.
Towards the end of 1951 the
base will be partially opened when
a pilot school moves in. Young
Belgians will earn their wings
over the wide open spaces of the
colony-instead of over the intonse
ly crowded home country as at
present. Accident risk will be cut
down because of this. In case of a
crash landing the fledglings have
.one million square miles to choose
from instead of tiny cultivated
fields of Belgium.

United States Savings & Loan
League, citing current interest
rates of 4% to 5 per cent—4 per
cent for veterans — points out that
in 1900 the typical rate was 8

From 1900 to 1925 the usual
mortgage expired in one to five
years. Today terms run 15 to 20
years and in some cases 25 and 30
years. In the old days the borrower
was expected to pay the full prin
cipal of the debt on the expiration
date. Today "principal and interest
are paid off in equal monthly in

pose a composite picture of them
all would produce “this typical
scoutmaster: ' .
He lis short, middle-aged, bald
ing, and puffs going up a hill on
a hike. He is good-natured and
long-suffering. He either owns a
small business or holds a minor
executive post in soine one else’s
business. He probably has a kid
or two of his own. His Scouts
don’t pay him much open defer
ence. They torment him often, but
they obey him at the right time—
and they like him.
Without Pay g i
Fe works voluntarily and with
out pay. He gives up his week
ends — and often his vacations—
to take a group of other men’s
boys tramping through the woods
to learn the ways of nature. He
tries to teach them fellowship,
brotherl.ood, social responsibility
—and personal independence and
self-reliance. £
Since he works with boys rang
ing from 11 to 18, this means he
must be a mixture of mother,
father, old brother, priest, judge,
advisor and teacher. That's a lot
to ask from a guy who gives his
time for nothing.
As a top Scout executive said.
“Tt .is easy to poke fun at scout
masters, and the cartoonists do.
But they are the backbone of the
scouting movement. Without them
it would fail. You couldn’t raise
the money to pay these men for
what they do of their own free
will.”
A balding, sunburned, paunch
heavy man in shorts may look a
bit ridiculous plowing through a
forest with a pack of agile yap
ping boys at his heels. He may
look like a fussy hen trying to
police its wayward chicks.
But he probably knows that, too.
The thing is, he also has a feeling
of considerable satisfaction that
what he is doing is worthwhile —
his fun is in seeing that his boys
have some fun and grow up heal
thy, strong and idealistic.. They

Key sis Informality
It is a pleasant thing at this
Jamboree to note' the wonderful
relationship between a good seout=
master and his troop. The key
word is — informality. - -
A Russian Scoutmaster might
maintain better discipline: by ex
ercising the authority of age and
rank. -That - would work in Ger
many,; but it wouldn’t work well
in America. If therc were many
scoutmasters rof that type here,

‘For- American boys resent be
ing- bossed, but do want an ac
cept ‘guidance. They expect their
scoutmaster above all to be “a
good Joe.” And if he is, they may
call him by his first name and
play pranks on him, but when he
says,. “fellows, this is what we
have to do”—well, they do it. No
body ever got any real respect
from a boy by insisting on being
called “Sir.”
A real scoutmaster bridzes that
twilight gap between the child and
the adult, helps ferry the growing
boy safely on the perilous voyage
from adolescence {o manhood.
And anyone who can do that
knows a reward greater than a
paycheck.
AUSTRALIAN TRIBESMEN
PREFER OWN FUNERALS
DARWIN—(AP)—-Body-snatch
ing on a faisly large scale is going
on in Darwin under the moses of
authority. The bodies—or. rather
the bones—are being snatched for
a very different purpcse from
that of grave robbers ¢f the past.
They are quietly removed by
aborigines from orthodox graves
in the Darwin oboriginal ceme
tery. Aborigines dig up the skele
tons in the dead of night and
whisk them away for tribal burial
in the wilds of Arnhem Land. This
is a huge aborigine reservation
east of Darwin.
All Northern Australian tribes
have their ewn funeral rites and
burial eustoms and they are un
easy about cemeteries. That is why
they are always eager to take out
their dead brothers’ bones.
Minois grows $500,007 worth of
cotton every year.
A large North American deer,
erroneously called an elx, actually
is a wapiti.
