Woman to Woman

By PATRICIA McCORMACK NEW YORK UPI — New social science courses are taking their place beside new math, new science, new language, new what’s-lt—so non-genius parents now have a chance to butt in. For most moms and dads, the new math didn’t add up to much that made sense. They couldn’t ■ay much, though, remembering what dunces they were at old math. Ditto for science, language and what’s-lt But social studies are fair game for most anyone whq wants to pipe up like a qualified critic. Choppy waters for the new social sciences are predicted by Dorothy M. Fraser, coordinator of social sciences, teacher education program, Hunter College of the city University of New York. In a report on the “n-e-w” ■octal studies, she says: “Parents and community leaders whq would recognize their Inability to evaluate new pro-

grams in mathematics or science are likely to consider themselves qualified to criticize changes in social studies, even If their only basis for reaction is a memory of their own study in this field. “When familiar topics are minimized or dropped to provide time for new materials, repercussions are likely to follow unless the reasons for the changes are understood.” The report in the NFA Journal, published by the National Education Association, describes the new social studies as a departure from the traditional dominance of history, geography and civics. Material from the behavioral sciences, meanwhile, is being fed into both elementary and secondary school programs. These include robust dashes of economics, anthropology, sociology, social psychology and political science. Among reasons for the transfusions from behavioral sciences, as Miss Fraser sees them, are the following: — Social studies bear the major responsibility for giving the child the most realistic picture of his social world that is available to him. — The best preparation for dealing with the unknown future is a realistic understanding of contemporary society and of the dynamics of change constantly reshaping it. In the new social studies children study the economic life of the neighborhood, family and

community. Children in early grades are introduced to basic economic ideas, such as the conflict between unlimited wants and limited purchasing power. In contrast to traditional social studies programs, the new ones get away from just studying the United States and Western Europe. The expanded program, dipping into international education, exposes children to more of the world. By opening the world’s door wider, such courses get away from provincial and unrealistic views of 20th Century United States and its relationships with the rest of the globe, according to Miss Fraser. Another part of the new social studies sounds like fun — for the students. Call it an excursion into the workways of the social sciences. Workways include polls and surveys conducted by the boys and girls. That next knock on the door, in fact, might be a third grader asking what you think of the price of baby-sitting in the neighborhood.

Order gifts by mail early

Families buying Christmas gifts through the mails were urged today to order early to be assured delivery before December 25. “Too many families are disappointed on Christmas Eve because they failed to allow for the record volume of mail moving through the post offices during the holiday season.” said Postmaster General Lawrence F. O’Brien. On surface mall shipments from distant cities the Post Office Department suggests that orders be placed before the end of November. For packages from nearby cities and those sent by air parcel post, families are urged to pace their orders by December 11. The early ordering of Christmas gifts will also allow for the delays which are often encountered in merchant’s shipping j rooms during the busy holiday ; rush and possible shortage of

goods as the selling season draws to a close. Mr. O'Brien said that “the great marjority of the mailorder companies — proud of their reputations — stop advertising when they cannot assure customers Christmas delivery. However, in some instances fy-by-night firms continue to promote mail-order sales when they can no longer be certain the goods will arrive before December 25.” In some cases last minute shoppers try to avoid receiving late gifts by writing on their order: “Return check and cancel if you cannot guarantee Christmas delivery.” Postal officials have found, however, that it is often difficult for mail-order clerks, swamped with holiday orders, to decide if a particular shipment is likely to arrive before the holiday. “There is no subsititute,” Mr. O’Brien said, "for promptly ordering Christmas gifts sent through the mails.”

“Gas comes mat ahead for usf

says Frank P. Thomas, President, BURGER CHEF Systems, Inc.

GAS makes the big difference "j ^ f ...costs iess too/

Many franchise holders ask why Burger Chef cooks with gas. Speaking of the 91 Burger Chefs in Indiana (among 800 nationwide), Mr. Thomas replies: “We have a pretty good knowledge of costs and efficiency of operation and gas comes out ahead for us. “Our exclusive broiler is designed for gas openflame cooking—which tips the scales even further in the direction of a full gas kitchen.’* Gas for cooking is the choice of 9 out of 10 restaurants throughout the nation for economy, to be sure. But gas also is favored for its instant on-and-off heat and its precise control over a wide range of temperatures in all types of cooking equipment—the very same reasons why gas is so popular for cooking with today’s homemakers.

"Definitely,” ahe said. “And Mexico must move to protect the tamale. And Italy, the meat ball.” We paused to picture in our minds all of the countries in the world moving to protect their cuisines. “As I see it,” I said. “There are only two courses open to the United States. "We could counter with the devaluation of the hamburger. But this would tend te undermine the hamburger’s position as an international medium of Indigestion. “Because of our unfavorable balance of calories, the hamburger already is under heavy pressure, particularly In France, where De Gaulle la attempting to stabilize the ruffle at our expense. “I therefore favor a less drastic step.

The drain on our protein reserves is only temporary, owing to our heavy commitments abroad. “Many of the smaller nations we have been trying to help are still plagued by fluctuating carbohydrates. Until conditions improve, we must continue to pursue our present policies. “Meanwhile, we can take comfort in the fact that the hamburger is sound enough to withstand external buffeting.” Lady Bug said she certainly was glad to know that.

Wall Street Chatter

HERMAN KITCH Paul Harris, owner of Jim Harris Chevrolet-Buick, today announced the appointment and promotion of Bruce Reeves as Servien Manager and named Herman Kitch as his assistant. Reeves, associated with the automobile mechanics for over fifteen years, has been with the local dealer for over a year. He has successfully completed schools in air-conditioning, carburetion, service advisory, tuneup, and electrical aspects of automobile mechanics. Before coming to the local company Reeves was connected with another General Motors firm in California from 1962 to 196§. No stranger to local residents and customers of the establishment, Herman Kitch is a well qualified mechanic who has served with the firm since 1953. During that time he has completed numerous General Motors specialization courses and attended mechanical clinics. Both men have resumed their duties and stand by to serve customers to the best of their ability.

NEW YORK UPI — Goodbody & Co. says that as the effect of Britain’s devaluation wears off and the market begins to reflect the positive aspect of the move, a further recovery in stock prices Is likely. This optimism, how’ever, assumes that no major complications arise in the many world monetary adjustments expected in the coming weeks.

Wright Investors’ Service says the resilience of ths U.S. security markets in the wake of British devaluation is almost certainly a definitive indication that a lusty year-end stock market rally is now beginning. It says it believes there will be revival of the blue chip market, with more attention paid to investment grade issues and less to the year’s speculative favorites.

Thomson A McKinnon says that technically the market’s outlook for the longer term Is not satisfactory, with many stocks well below support levels and many others in severe

downtrends. It says the burden of proof is now on the bulls and a rally should provide housecleaning opportunities in vulnerable stocks.
