Lyons, of Lake Waban's publicity office, says is true. Gist of her lengthy (1300 word), report was that her girls had worked hard--"filled seed--packages"--in the experimental interim.

Agency director Ruth Houghton characterized the senior's problem new as being one not of "finding positions, but selecting positions in which individual abilities and luterest are most productive."

Last week many a draft-anxious, Hanford-barried 'undergraduate sighed for the by-gone one of delicate feminiuity, wished mightily for a return to normaley in their traditional stamping ground.
