4> Sec. 2 - Plaindealer - Wed., Apr. 3, 1968 C mc Nancy is like most of the r&roung . people who enter college, for she thinks a diploma •should be her goal. Instead, she should be seeking a "marketable skill" as her distinguished father so aptly points out. Alas, we have thousands of ' ^'ollege graduates who can't do anything useful in modern society! By - George W. Crane, Ph. D., M.D. CASE F-526: Nancy, aged 18 •was being chauffered to the « campus by her parents to enroll 4.as a university freshman. Her father, President H.D. Buckingham, of the National 'College of Business, suddenly asked her: "Nancy, why are you going to the university*?" > "Why, daddy, to earn a bachelor's degree," She replied. "Wrong," her cttstinquished father replied. " You should be hoping to meet an ambitious young man who will make you a good husband. "But that isn't all! "You should also b£ acquiring a marketable skill, so you could support him and your children, if necessary." HEED PREXY BUCKINGHAM Alas, far too many college youth look upon a college diploma as an end in itself. That is wrong! The diploma is merely the fulcrum that should be used to pry loose a good job. , And the real lever that is needed to utilize that fulcrum is what Prexy Buckingham has so aptly termed a "marketable skill". Even if you hold a diploma in your hand, after four years of college residency, what does it offer an employer that will cause him to give you a job? Are you qualified to teach school, as by a major in Education while gaining that 4-year diploma? Without the special courses required to prepare teachers for classroom work, the diploma will still not even get you a teaching job'. Can you typewrite?-0ir take shorthand? Keep books or operate modern computer machines and the other specialized equipment of an office? Are you preparing to preach? Or practice law or medicine or dentistry? Four years of college, even though you obtain straight "A" grades, don't mean you have a "marketable skill". And in this modern age, employers want skills that you can put to the test immediately! Schools of Journalism have thus sprouted up all over the land to practicalize the former far-fetched English teaching. Business colleges now are flooded with Liberal Arts students who found that even after a 4-year "diploma, they still had no "marketable skill". If you have taken chemistry or agriculture or music in college as part of your qualification for a 4-year diploma, you may be able to "market" that knowledge immediately. For you can often get a good position with a chemical plant where you can put that previous chemistry to work. The same is true of agriculture or music. But most of the Liberal Arts history, sociology and cultural courses are only helpful as background enrichment, but they are not "marketable skills". It is far better to go to a business college for a year before you enter Liberal Arts, than to do so afterwards, for then your marketable office and secretarial skills will help you pay your way through the 4- year Liberal Arts college.

And you can count on many economical meals if you follow recommended storage practices, says Mrs. Katharine J. Neumann, McHenry county extension adviser. Broiler-fryers, like all poultry are included among the more perishable foods. Flavor deteriorates if poultry is held under poor storage Conditions or for too long a time. Chilled, fresh chicken is really best if used immediately. It can, however, be kept in the refrigerator a day or two if stored in the coldest section. Puncture the film wrapper to allow air circulation or better still, remove the store wrap-, pings and cardboard tray and rewrap the bird loosely in foil or moisture-proof paper. Cooked chicken can be held a day or two in the refrigerator. A freezer, of course, permits longer storage. Fresh birds will keep their fine quality at 0 degrees F. up to one year, but after cooking, the storage life of poultry is (Afferent. Slices or pieces of cooked chicken covered with broth or gravey can be kept up to six months; Slices without gravy should be used within one month. Cooked poultry dishes have a Selective Service a selective service Q.

Tax included With Gas Purchase Piggy Bank Gi EXPLAINS VOTING ACTION In explaining why she voted against the hiring of the Wisconsin architectural firm of Schutte, Phillips and Mochon, Mrs. Joan Hill stated that "while the architects selected are doubtless well qualified, I had hoped that the firm we picked would have had experience in planning and building a junior college. The architects chosen have built a Voc-Tec Institute in Kenosha, Wisconsin which I personally visited and with which I was favorably impressed, however they have not had the experience in overall campus planning that I had hoped for. Of course, I may be a little biased, but when you consider that we are building McHenry County college with substantial State of Illinois funds, we certainl y should have been able to find, in all these many weeks of investigations, a competent architect in the State of Illinors to do an Illinois job;" COLLEGE ACCREDITED The North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools has approved Elgin Community college's request for accreditation. The voter's preference slate of delegates to the Republican national convention were honored guests of the McHenry Township Republican Women's club last week Wednesday evening, when a demonstration of the new Votomatic machine to be used in the primary was presented by County Clerk Vernon Kays.
