Great Comeback

HOW ARE THINGS in Glocca

you? . .. Why plenty; pals, so
let's beat the heat by gulping
down some c0000l cokes and a
few soc% besides, as we find

chicks are up to . .
Summer school for extra cred-
its seems to be the draw for
Iry Keene, Bernie Pershin, Le-
nore Freedman, Sally Rosenfeld,
Helene Sklar, Viv Jacobs, Mil
Thatcher and Eliot, Charlip . .
Detroit seems to be the ideal
place for just plain loafing and
I do mean taking it easy, which
just fills the bill for Ralph
Phoon, Bud Charlip, Rea Orley,
Johnny Hopp and Jerry Rubiner.

THE IDEA OF USING almost
three months for picking up a
stew extra greens seems to catch
oft well, for we find that Dave
Miller, Kal Gold, Sammy Yager,
Les Phillips and Morris Benson
have taken to working these
summer days. Also laboring
hard are Les Zeff, Sheldon
Roth and Dave Robinson. The
latter is at his father's place,

PARENTS TO BLAME

NO PARENT should be proud

of such a training system.
No parent, having encouraged a
child in these ways,. should ex-
pect that some magic will make
it possible to inject discipline,
love for labor, regularity of
work, self-satisfaction only with
the highest level of work pos-
sible.

Yet these very parents refuse
to see what they have done.
Theirs is the fault, if blame is
to be assessed . . . But they
prefer to punish their children
by making them scapegoats for
parental strivings and dissatis-
factions.

The Chinese have the correct
contotpt: If a child goes wrong,
the blame rests upon the par-
ents for poor discipline and
teaching.

FELLOWS, DO YOU KNOW

half sweetness and half nuts ! ! !
The fifth Julie Adler Musical
Revue, entitled Crazy Rhythm,
had a couple of hundred girls
participating and Masonic Tem-

the gals who caught our eye
were Lois Gendel, Ruthie Stul-
berg, Renee Kaye, Sharon Sklar.
Thelma Arkin, Estelle Hibernian,
Aleta Axler, Rita Langdorf, Gail
Mogel, Gerrie Starler and the
Narva twins . . . Doing a swell
job singing solos were Ray Gil-
bert, Elaine Berman and Marilyn
Hassel.

freezer makes your meals so tasteful. It's
the economy angle, though, that makes
such a hit with housewives. You save
money—with fewer trips to market—fewer
purchases of out-of-season foods. You save
time—with less marketing—less canning
and preserving.

NOW'S THE TIME
TO INVEST IN A HOME-FREEZER

The pia of the berry crop is ready for freezing
now. And it's only a matter of weeks before late-
summer fruits and vegetables will be ripe 'n' ready.

Summer-fresh food the year round means
greater variety in meals—plus higher vita-
min content than is found in meats and
vegetables preserved by other methods.
The home appliance dealer in your com-
munity will be glad to give you the details
—show you the home-freezer best suited
to your needs. See your dealer soon!
