(Staff Photos by ln i 'tkley) Susan Fora Not Stymied By Secret Service Agents How Much Washing Is Too Much? NEW YORK The classic symbol of an All-American girl is now in residence'in the AVhite House. Tall, lissome Susan Ford, Monde, blue-eyed daughter of the of the United States, not only looks but behaves like a typical 17-year- old, to an exclusive interview in the December is- sue of Seventeen Magazine.

"I'm the same old Susan and I don't expect to change," she told writer Isatelle Shel- toh. She wears blue jeans in the White House, freely admits that she's "no intellectual" and reads "only my comics and recipes," and is a so-so student in the range in her senior year of high school. She's slim and is on a diet to get even slimmer, and lies to do needlepoint, swim, ski and dance. Susan even continues to do baby sitting for the family living across the street from the house she grew up in. But now she arrives in Alexandria, accompanied by two Secret Service agents.

Children Need To Understand How to Learn COLLEGE STATION The most important skill that chn- lren learn is "how to learn," one family life education specialist noted this week. She's Dr. Jennie Kildiing, with the Texas Agricultural Extension Service, The Texas AM University System. "Unless children develop the art of problem solving whether by intuition or by analytical logic their minds will remain greatly unused, They will be less able to cope with the world around them," she said.

But too often adults only give children answers In remember, rather than problems to solve. This Is a mistake, she contended. "The world, sovlety and knowledge are changing daily. parents, caregivers and teachen cannot provide all the specific answers children need to prepare them for ttoelr adult rotes, "But children who learned to think and solve problems will be find their own tmtn," irtvM.

Martin of Cimmaron, N.M. Secret Service protection. "I THOUGHT it would be a hassle, and that it would interfere with dates and things," she recalls. "But it hasn't turned out that way. Now I think it's great.

It works very well. 1 LIKE my agents." The one thing that bothers Susan is that the agents do all the driving. "I love to drive," she says. "I just learned last year, and I'm good! I may forget how before I get a chance again." When Susan and her boy friend, Gardner Britt, go on dates, he drives and the Secret Service follows in another car. When one of her two agents was a woman, the couple would make a dinner foursome with Susan and Gardner.

Asked if having agents doesn't interfere with her privacy for such things as "parking under the moon," Susan responds: "I think our generation has outgrown that kind of thing." ACTUALLY SUSAN, who admits she's a little lonely in the White House with her brothers all' gone from home now, enjoys having the agents for company. She says they're fun. "We kid around, and I them nicknames, like Silver and Sundance Kid. When Gardner and I spent a week at the Atlantic ocean with his parents last summer, Hie agents splashed around with us in the water." While Susan was growing up she was unhappy that her father, as a politician, had to be away very often. Now, with her dad working in the building, and his out-of-town speaking schedule drastically curtailed, "we see too much of him," she complains, only half kidding.

"He's checking up cracking down on me ton used to just Mother being around, and I can wrap her around my finer." Yet she adds: "I like to spend alot of time with my father. We've got a really good relationship. He spoils me, and he'll admit it. I think Mother spoils the boys." Susan is still awed by living in the White House. "It's a weird feeling, walking around those halls where so many people you study about used to live.

It's formal. I really feel bad about putting my feet up on the furniture," she says. "1 still can't believe I'm actually living here and calling it home." Tub baths or showers once or twice a week are usually adequate to keep dry skin clean and odor-free when they are supplemented with daily sponge baths, the Committee on Cutaneous Health and Cosmetics of the American Medical Association advises. Taking a quick daily shower and limiting the use of soap to underarm, genital and foot areas is offered as an alternative to the daily sponge bath. Warm rather than hot water should be used when the skin is very dry and perhaps itchy due to dryness.
