That wii how he would be accepted by her 1 8 and 1 9 year old clamate.

She needn't have worried. The 202 girl promptly elected 26 year old Naomi rJreeiolent of the Ireehmen class. Hi not mat ane so on, dui ineo is older tMo the average college freshman. The daughter of Mr and Mm. I.

She did stenography, bookkeeping and JJust everything" In the local office of the Standard OU company for two years, and the same work In the Albany office for another two. For the next. four yeara ahe wae secretary to James E. Gardner, manager of the real rrtate department of the Poughkeepsl Sev ings bank.

And all the time she kept wanting to go to college. "Always, ever since I can remember, IT had my heart set on college, and I finally made It," she aays with satisfaction. "I had It In the back of my mind all the time was working. Sometimes I gave It up, ant. then It would come forward again.

No one but my (almly knew about It because I dldnt know how veil It would work out. As time went on I was afraid It would be too late, but It wasn't. I don't think It's ever too late to go to college." Mined Bemelhlng It wtsnt because ahe wanted to become a teacher that her heart was ao set on college. It was because she wanted education more than anything else, because she kept feeling, all the yean that ahe was working, that ahe was mtoelng something. When I thought about It I didn't think of a teachers' college so much." shs explains.

"I Just kept thinking of the education that I didn't have. Now I'm glad that I chose a teachers' college. You can get a very good education there, and I think that 111 enjoy teaching." Long before she knew which college ahe would go to, she knew that It wouldn't be Vaasar. She never did Ilk the Idea of going to college right in her home town, ahe says. She always figured that part of the education ahe wanted Included getting way tram home, atartlng.

"That includes sewing, foods, house furnishing, child study everything pertaining to a noma. II you dont go Into teaching It's something you can always use, married or single." Last year, when she was reasonably certain that aha would be able to realize her ambition, ahe ap reached the question of speclallz lg like, a business woman rather than a young girl graduate. She checked the opportunities In her chosen field before she committed herself.

She could have trained as an elementary teacher or nurse a wen a a high school teacher of homt economics at PlatUburg: Thinks at Future Bight now there's a great demand tor noma economics teachers, and I think there will be for some time to come," ahe says. "When I was considering PlatUburg and Its homs ec course last year I talked with the president about It He told me there were more Jobs open than he could possibly fill In the home ec Held. I had to think of the future, you know." Once ahe had decided to go to PlatUburg thla fall she would have been completely satisfied except for the muting worry about how ttit would be accepted by her younger classmates. To her surprise you'd think she was Miss Venerable tn atead of Miss Venable to her her talk about It they dldnt notice that aha was older. "They thought I waa about It, too," ahe says "They were aghast when they knew how old I am.

but It dld.it bother them at all. When I found It didn't bother them. It iidnt bother me any more. Half the time I forgot It." She hunt found that her classmates seem Juvenile to her, either. She thinks this Is because they dont come from rich families.

Most of them have had work experience. "If they have to have a nickel, they go right out and earn It." she saya. "It doesn't faze them a bit. I think that's given them a lot of common acne. It might have been harder for me to fit in In a big women's college where only a few of the girls had worked." Member of Glee Ctab She has certainly fitted In well of PlatUburg.

With only tour months of college behind her. she Is freshman president, tings alto In the Olee club, plays violin In the orchestra, la a member of the Homt Economics club and lu freshman delegate to the Executive committee. She also' works about six hours a week In the college book shop selling books and other supplies. "Freshmen are supposed to have only three ouUlde activities, but It really depends on your marks." she says, then adds of her own much more extensive activities, "So far so good." Mis Venable says that she was quite thrilled" by her election freshman president, and "quite surprised, too," but that her playing in the orchestra "really a laugh." It' 10 years since she has really pUyed. she says.

Since then she has Just picked it up once In a while Bust the same, she's glad that she's in the orchestra, because her skill la ihnmlne hark "It'i an excellent opportunity and rm glad to have It." she says, "it seems a shame to spend five or six. years taxing and men tose it all because you dont do anything about It. But the girls tease me about It a lot, the ones who nave heard me practice. You know a violin can be pretty bad It lint accurate.

86 South Randolph avenue, eummed the situation up when she said: "As each shortage occurs It seems most annoying. It's mainly the Inconvenience of not being able to find what you want when you want It If grumbling about shortages la current, It certainly wasn't evident In the answers received from the 20 questioned, who were selected to give a representative cross section of local opinion. Almost all qualified the statement of their wanU by saying that they didn't consider them Important, that they felt that the war effort should come first. Want Boya Back They ahowed In another way that they arent taking shortages too seriously. The question was com pletely material.

Everyone waa asked what articles he or she misses and wanU most speedily returned. More than half answered that they Comments on the clgaret shortage were also enlightening. We have all heard some private grouatng on that subject, but of the 20 questioned only one considered it seriously She Is a dealer, and spoke not of her own wanU, but of the complalnu she hears. Mrs. Blgelow said that although she doesnt miss any one thing particularly she finds that red points are definitely most troublesome.

"It's ha to get proteins for a balanced diet." she said "You have to watch yuur step She added that when missing items are restored she will be glad to accept but she doesn't Intend to about not having them now. Mrs. James Neighbors, 1 Yates boulevard Is another housewife who finds red polnU troublesome, ea pecUlly butter polnU. "Butter polnU are my greatest hardship If you would call that a hardship," she said. "The other shortages havent bothered me so much.

But It does seem queer to remember we were ever able to go out with a marketing list and get what we wanted, doesn't It? It Just means that It takes more planning now to run a household." Mrs. Neighbors has another problem, hosiery. Allergic to Nylons "I never could wear nylons and I can't wear rayons I'm allergic to both and you can't get silk," she said. She solves that particular dilemma by wearing lisle except on particularly dressy occasions that call for rayon. Then she comes home and pulls them off as fast as she can, she ssld.

"I think manufacturers should pay more attention to that and less to women's silk underwear." tie Mlaaea Beefsteak Of course, the housewives worry about the shorUgea of butter and meat because they know how much their children and husbands miss these Items, especially men with strenous outside Jobs, such men as Patrolman Charles Hamilton. He said. "I miss my butter, all right, and I miss beeksteak.

The shortage of clgareu and cigars doesn't bother me because I dont smoke, but I understand that some of the ladles are having a hard time with that. As long as I get my eaU, I'm all right." Butter was also mentioned, but not first, by Edgar Richards, salesman for A. button Lumber company. "I would like to have a permit to build a house, and I would Ilk to see building restrictions eased," he said. "Otherwise, we arent doing too badly, and are thankful to be alive.

But with this new 24 polnt value for butter the Richards household may have to eat lard like the lumberjacks." Fred Ohm, manager of the production department of the Poughkeepsle plant of the American Agriculturist, also first thought of scarcities In terms of his work. The paper shortage was uppermost In his mind. "That Is really serious." he said. "Along with all other publications. were taking a 25 percent cut In very hard to get.

School Misses Butter The butter shortage Is both a personal and a business problem to Mrs. Florence Nichols, who Is buyer of foods and director of halls at Oak wood school. Since oleo Is never used as a substitute at the school, she buys Jams, Jellies and cream cheese In place of butter, she said. She also mentioned the steak shortage, which has so often been mentioned to her. "It seems to me that whenever anyone talks about what they want they mention stesks." she said.

"I would like to see good two Inch steaks back, too." Mrs. Nichols added that her chief problem has not been with food but with equipment. Aluminum cooking utensils that wore out couldn't be replaced, she pointed out, and the hotel china that the school uses Is friend In Wapplngers Falls, she pointed out. Yo'i now have to "think twice" before you go downtown, she added. "Of course, you cant get clgarets very easily now," she continued, "and I'd like to see films back soon, too.

This Is purely personal, but I like a certain perfume, and that hard to find now. "Oh, and nylons!

Laura Sperbeck. secretary, spoke of the same departed luxury "I would like some nylons, but we can't have them to we may as well put up with what we have," she said. She added that ahe would like to see business experience has helped her In college. In an office you have to follow a system to get your work done, she says. When she entered college she found that It was easy to develope a system for her work there, easier than for the girls Just out of high school.

"The discipline and responsibility you've had on a Job helps, too," she says. "You have a certain amount of responsibility as a college student that you dont have in high school. In high school you're given assign menu. In college you're expected to have a mind of your own, to dig things out for yourself. "A lot of girls seem to go to col lege for a good time.

They forget they re there to leirn. And Us up to them whether they do their work or not. If you've had a certain amount of responsibility before you go, your eyes are open and you know you're only cheating yourself you dont study." Her knowledge of typing ha been a help to her In college, but not stenography, she says. Students are asked not to Uke lecture In ahort hand, since th temptation then too great to take everything a lecturer aays, whether It 1 Important or not. Since they are expected to learn to be selective, are asked to write down only what la Important, and that In longhand.

Two Lectures a Week atlas Venable ha only two lecture a week. Her other classes are devoted to discussion. She thoroughly approve of this method of learning. "Naturally, you have to be able to stand up and tell what you know when you're a teacher," she says. "They start you In with that right away.

They teach you to Ulk before a group, and the more practice you get the easier It Is." Just before the Christmas holiday she was One of a group of three girls who were given a topic In child psychology. They were expected to read on the topic, to do research, and teach what they had learaedethe class. Then they gave a testcjn the topic, and marked their classmates. pAll the girls are given an opportunity to do such work, and I found it very interesting," she says. "I learned such a lot, too.

I'm so glad I decided to go to a teachers' college. It certainly gives you a good education. I think I'll enjoy teaching, too, after I graduate. But the main thing Is the education. That's something you'll alwaya have.

And I dont think lt'a ever too late to go to college. I read of one woman who waa In her 70 's before she went, and ahe got along beautifully." J.T. In Other Words THE AMPHIBIOUS MAN (Bosun's Mate Second Class Wallace Rlchter, USN. Hyde Park, who has been out New Oulnea way since a year ago last Christmas, sends the following plaintive note. There Is much more to his poem but this gives the Idea): You've heard of the Air corps And the Marine Paratroops, But think as hard as you can Though you've heard of the Acmy And other groups.

Have you ever heard Of the Amphibious man? When the beach Is Uken And the radio starts to yell. You hear about the Marines and soldiers And how they went through hell; You'll thrill to front page stories Of their heroic Job. But you'll never hear a word Of the poor Amphibious gob. And when the war is over And he's back In clvvie life. How in hell will he explain.

To his kiddles and hU wife? They know he's In the Navy But he's the subject of a gyp: He's Just an orphan sailor, A gob without a ship. This department does not profess to know anything about the tree that grows In Brooklyn, but It Is pleased to report that one day last week that barren stretch of Market street from Church street north once again boasted a tree. It was only a temporary arrangement to be sure but It was a tree. It was. If you press for details, a discarded Christmas tree that sat erect and undaunted atop a can of rubbish within the shadows of the famous Nelson House elm; that Is, in the ghost shadows of the elm that was the last tree along the street to feel the woodsman's ax.

We haven't been that way since, but we presume by now the tree been carted off, and once again Market street is barren. Nancy Hitz Typical Girl Scout of Year Nancy Hitz.

She has collected fau, newspapers and tin cans, passed out posters for the Red Cross In stores, collected money for the Red Cross In movie theaters, worked at the ration anard, folded Christmas seals and Community Chest folders.

Nancy also expects to Join the group of Scouts who do Junior nurses' aide work at St. Francis' hos plUL "I'm Interested In that because I want to be a nurse when I grow up," she said. "I'm not old enough now. I like all scout work. I think that's because we have such nice leaders and ao many Interesting things to do." Nancy doesn't confine her actlvl tlea to scouting.

The prettiest doll in the world. Her cheeks were so red and so white, dears. And her hair was so charmingly curled." Our annual Doll Story Hour was held last week, and tt was most gratifying to know that so many little girls still love their dolls. One scarcely ever sees a child with a doll unless on an occasion like this. Dolls hsve changed with the times.

There are not many fashionable lady dolls any more, with lovely soft hair and real eyelashes. There are soldier dolls, nurse dolls, sleepy dolls, Sonia Henle dolls, and the character dolls from the story books. Every age has had Its dolls It Is probable that the little clay Images discovered In Egyptian tombs were the dolls of those children of long ago. American Indian dolls were generally made In the Image of one of their gods, such as the Katchlna of the Rains. Many dolls have been handed down from generation to generation.

Dolls that have come to this country with our ancestors. Jointed wooden dolls dressed In the quaint style of our great grandmothers, rag dolls with painted cloth faces, kid dolls with China heads. Dressed In calico, gingham, plaid wool, satin and lace these fair ladles were put carefully away in attics awaiting the next generation or collectors. What odd names some of them had.

After the Civil war her costume was again changed, this time for modest Quaker garb. One of the Civil war dolls helped in the good cause.

She was taken to a fair In 1862 and raffled off, earning the sum of 500 for a hospital for wounded soldiers. The collection of dolls in the Children's department of the City library now numbers over 60. They hsve come from all over the world, as well as from different periods In our own country's history.
