Support Needed MIAMI. Okla. (AP> ? A story In the Miami News-Record quoted State Rep. J. R. Hall, Jr. iu say ing he pledged hU full support to the Inter-Tribal Indian Council's pageant, scheduled here in 1957. After the paper came out, a lo cal Indian ? well fortifiid with firewater ? came to Hall's office.

Miss Nsomi ( Huber drove a new car she bought last June until August before she knew where to turn on its parking and headlights. She also plays golf ' at night and joins thousands of other workers for an early morn ing swim in an outdoor pool in winter before going to her office. This may seem odd to you, but it's part of everyday life in Ice land where Miss Huber has been serving as cultural officer of the U. S. Information Services since May of 1954. In the "Land of Ice and Fire" there is no darkness during the three summer months from June through August. Likewise there are only four hours of daylight during November, December and January. Houses in Reykjavik, the cap ital, where Miss Huber is station ed. are heated from hot spring water piped from 20 miles away. Hot water for use in the homes and for the numerous swimming pools which are used by every body before going to work, from Iceland's President Asgier Asgiers son on down, also comes from springs and geysers. "It's rather exhilarating to dash from the dressing room through the cold winter and plunge itno a pool of steaming water," Miss Huber told me on a recent trip to Washington. "Iceland has a class less society. VIPs and workers alike join in the various sports." Miss Huber who returned to her Icelandic post this month, deplores the fact that so many folks think of the Midnight Sun country as a place "only of icebergs, igloos and polar bears." The Gulf Stream touches its southern tip and she says it's not as cold in Reykjavik as in New York or in Bucks Coun ty, Pa., where she maintains her legal residence. Miss Huber, who hails from Lumberville, Pa., but was educat ed in Switzerland, her parents' birthplace, is responsible for all American cultural relations in Ice land and works with the Univer sity of Iceland and through art. music theatre, library and educa tion channels. She is also in charge of the exchange leader, teacher and student program and the book translation program. Firemen Start Young KNOXVILLE (AP) ? If Jimmy and Gary Fox want to be firemen someday, they know where to get a good recommendation. The boys, 15 and 11, held a fire in their basement under control with a garden hose until firemen arrived. A city official said they probably saved the house from burning down. i ? ? CONGRESSMAN GETS THE FLOOR * mri^t- 1 mini ^mmmiuimiiiim REP. T. JAMES TUMULTY of New Jersey Is engaged in a real clean-up Job as he scrubs the floor for Mrs. Andrew Ford, of Jersey City, who stands by giving Instructions It was all the result of a March of Dimes' Mothers raffle in which Mrs. Ford won the services of the 300-pound Congressman and put him to work. {international) Washington White Glove Paradise By JANE EADS WASHINGTON?More white kid gloves are sold in Washington than probably anywhere else in the world. A woman can't make the grade socially here without gloves. In various lengths they are a must all hours of the day. Social arbiter, Mrs. Caroline Hagner Shaw, lays down the rules on "What to Wear-When" in her ' Washington Social List," a bible for local hostesses. To be social ly correct you must "take the right glove off when going through a re ceiving line, take both off eating or drinking." In "What to Wear-When," Mrs. Shaw says that for functions held before 4 o'clock, a street-length, tailored dress or suit should al ways be complemented by hat and | gloves. For shindigs from 4 to j 8 o'clock, hat and glove should be worn with "afternoon gown, street- j length, or ballerina, <never ankle length. "A suit may be worn if not too obviously for sportswear," she added. For informal "6-on" affairs the | 4-to-8 apparel is perfect. No hat is necessary, and here, gloves are j "optional." "Semi-formal" on an invitation, she says, indicate a dinner dress. "Formal" indicates an evening cown, floor length, or ballerina. The longer the gloves with these affairs, the better dress ed, it seems, though Mrs. Shaw MORE ABOUT Catalogue (Continued from Page 1) order this and that, and this and that, until the list becomes form idable. There's a time for a great big whoa on both sides of the garden patch, and then the es sentials plus a few extras get the checkbook treatment. At least, that's the way it should be. The repeated "Don't over plant" rhythm beats faintly above the crackling of the wood in the fireplace. Even the suppliers are giving a word of caution these days. "All America Rose Selections," for in stance, gives these few words on the subjeet: "It is difficult in going through thr latest rose catalogues not to want everything pictured in them. As page after dazzling page of most beautiful roses appear, it is only human to want such beauty in your own garden. "Experienced gardeners have found that it is wise to check their gardens before ordering from their catalogues so that every rose will have an important part in the over-all plan. Thr latest trend in rose gardening is to use them not only for their color and beauty but also as ex cellent solutions to landscaping problems . . ." C heck your garden, check the supplier?and then cheek your self to make sure you have the time, energy and garden space to handle the lures of the inpir ing printed page. Remember, gardens are made during the summer months, and not before a F'ebrary tire while reading a colorful seed and plant catalogue. MORE ABOUT Eggs (Continued from rage 1) for eggs here. He said that poultry specialists are now advising family-type ope rations with flocks of 250 or more birds. Mr. Holloway added: "I'd rather have 250 people producing eggs for the county than only five persons working on a large scale." The county agent commented that producing eggs these days is a highly competitive business and that poultrymen must do a good | jcty, and follow agriculture exten j sion recommendations. At present, he said, approximate ly $2.50 per hen is needed to put a laying flock into production. Mr. Holloway said that the light er breeds of chickens?including White Leghorns, crosses, and hy brids?are now being recommend ed for laying flocks. During the survey, Mr. Libeau told Mr. Holloway that an effi cient organization is essential to success in the marketing og eggs, and that farmers can't make money by going up and down the street individually, trying to sell their eggs. He said that such a group could plan (heir production wisely and arrange for cooperative marketing. Mr. Libeau also informed Mr. Holloway that he will submit a re port at a later date, setting out in detail his and other state specia lists' recommendations on produc ing enough eggs in Haywood Coun ty to All the county's demand. doesn't specify so. At the first annual International Ball the gowns were spectacular. Mrs. Arthur Summerfield, wife of the postmaster general, wore lime yellow taffeta with sequins. The straight skirt was swept into a huge puff at one side in the i back. Mrs. Nicholas Longworth 1 wore gold and purple brocade. Mrs. William Randolph Hearst. Jr., had a slim sheath of yellow satin drap ed in chiffon with huge panniers of yellow taft'eta winging out in back. Mrs. Hughes le Gallais. wife of the Luxembourg ambassador wore pale blue satin embroidered in gold Moral pattern. Mrs. Arthur Gard iner. wife of the U. S. ambassador to Cuba wore white satin with an over-play of black lace. Cruel Taunts Can Be Help, Girls Report AT Newsfeatures "How Cruel young mortals be," exclaims an awakened father, de scribing the anguish of his daugh ter subjected to cruel jibes by her clasmates. And how right he is. It seems his 14-year-old sub-deb went to gym class wearing regula tion clothes which are pretty re vealing. What happens? Poor girl has a spat with her best friend a few days later and is startled by a retaliation of "flat-chested." Ever since, the girl has been moody and depressed and the entire family are worrying for fear she will develop a complex. Could-be. But how do you cope with the situation inquires the father? Name calling is not a new idea as any Bible reader knows. Girls who've had thd experience of being on the Catherine Wheel or thrown to the lions den in their imaginations know it can be a horrible experience ? at the time. But now older and wiser they say "if only we'd laughed at the whole thing ? who cares? Whav difference does It make if the tongue lashers call you chubby." One girl tabbed "skinny" says thought I'd die at first and did everything to gain weight, and then one day a friend of my moth er's said 'I wish I had your figure' and after that I sized the whole thing up ?i it was only the plump girls who were jealous." A silver lining is almost always present when ydu are a target for a surly remark. Take the girl who was labeled "buck teeth" by her friends. She did something about it. A few visits to an orthodontist, braces and in later years she turned out to be a toothpaste ad. Or take another girl who was called bowlegs" bv the students. She won a beauty contest in later years, because she spent so much time massaging and primp ing her legs that they looked like prize winning limbs in any judge's book. Other girls recite their high school and college-day tremors when such remarks is "pigeon toes," "knock-knees," sent shivers down their spines. But all of them profited by the experience, they say. After all, of it hadn't been for the name calling they might have been spared the knowledge that they were on the verge of a small defect. But being able to concentrate on tt, they managed to improve it above the norm. If a small-bosomed girl feels embarrassed about it, she can ex ercise to help matters along, and being conscious of it, can find built-up bras to round out her gym suit or evening dress. Educational Surprise CHAMPAIGN, 111. (AP) ? Ag riculture books published in the Philippines that no longer can be bought or borrowed in Manila are on the shelves of the University of Illinois library, says a Filipino graduate student. Pascual M. Matulac, an employ ee of the Philippines Bureau of Soil Conservation is attending the university's College of Agriculture under the auspicies of the Inter national Cooperation Administra tion.

THE MOUNTAINEER "Printing That Satisfies" PHBEIIT PR0BLEI1IS There's Always A Way To Get An Education ly GARRY CLEVELAND MYERS, Ph.D. EVERY year about 250,000 gift-1 ed youths, most of them ranking in the upper fourth of their high school class, arc unable to go to college due to lack of money, lack of aihbitlon, or both. With ambition in abundance, ways may be found to get the money?scholarships, student loans, Jobs while at college. Schol arships, however, are relatively few. Nor are student loans or Jobs on the college campus easy for the freshman to get. Work-Study Problem If he tries to finish in four years, a student cannot usually hope to earn all his tuition cost by work while in college. He must attend classes from 20 to 30 hours a week, leaving him no more than 20 hours to work. The average earnings may not exceed >400 a year. Excepting tuition-free state colleges and universities for in state students, the tuition and fees alone may run from $6,000 to $10,000 for four years. Even in state colleges and universities, the fees are considerable and are rising. Nevertheless, there are still a number of colleges where tuition, room, board and fees are less than $1,000 a year. Parents and their sons and daughters might well inquire of their high school principal or their clergyman about scholar ships, student loans and oppor tunities tor self-help available. They should also obtain a list of colleges where costs are relatively moderate. ? IMS. King Fn( A youth, of course, may supple ment his earnings during sum mers. Also, there are some work as-you-go colleges and univer sities such as the University of Cincinnati, Marquette, Antioch. In some technical schools, stu dents hold down part-time Jobs in industrial plants as required supplements to their classroom education. Despite the problems, prac tically no bright youth with drive and willingness to work need be denied a higher education. He can spread his education over more years than the usual four. He may work a year or so before enrolling, saving his money for college before he enters. He may stagger a year or two of work with a year or so in college. He may take a Job that enables him to attend night college while working, even if it should taks him six, eight or ten years to fin ish. He might work oil some col lege credit courses by mall. The greatest need of the bright youth whose parents can't afford to finance him in college is am bition and habits of hard work. Some books on this subject which you might consult at your local library are: "Lovejoy s Col lege Guide," Simon Schuster, $1.95; "Need a Lift" (scholarship sources for children of veterans), American Legion, Indianapolis, 10 cents, "Scholarship and Fellow ship," available at institutions of higher learning and from the U.S. Office of Education, Washington, D.
