VARITIES OF POTATOES

number of varities, often choosing

and Irish Cobblers.
Educator Says Touring
Americans Help Peace
The dean of the public affairs
school at Syracuse University believes "there is not going to be a
big war" because students of today will' prevent it by going into
'' overseamanship.''
He described this as "the fastest
growing Career in the world" and a
new one for most Americans. It
involves, he points out, "travel and
work overseas."
Dean Harland Cleveland said
thousands of Americans are now
working abroad and the number
will continue to increase. Nbt only
members of the diplomatic corps,
but secretaries, doctors, nurses
and engineers represent the United
States in their work ovevrseas,
Cleveland said in calling attention
to the need for well-trained per
sons to fill these posts.
"You are more likely to go overseas at some time in your life than
you are to stay at home all your
life," he tells prospective college
students. "Our American strength,
which gives us a special responsibility to keep the peace, makes this
inevitable."
The Awards Night program Monday evening opened with band music, and James Knight, president
of the Student Council, extended
the welcome. The Merit Service

Absent Father Not
Good For Children
Chicago—Fathers should stay
home more often if they want their
children to develop into well-adjusted adults, says a psychologist.
Boys and girls of families where
fathers are largely absent from the
home show less independence, Dr.
David B. Lynn of the Indiana University Medical Center at Indiana
polis reported.
Lynn, speaking before the annual meeting of the Midwestern
Psychological Association in Chicago, said that hoys whose fathers
were absent seemed to have more
feminine traits and were more
poorly adjusted.
The mothers of father-absent
children were more protective of
their children, he added.
