Wrong Courses? Eighty percent of women college graduates marry immediately after leaving school and present courses do not fit them for married life. This was brought out at a meeting of the Burlington Branch, American Association of University Women. A discussion panel stressed that home economics is an important study but liberal arts students don't get the chance to study it. UVM Dean Mary Jean Simpson said such courses as preparation for marriage, would not be accepted by the liberal arts faculty. But there's some progress, she added.

The Sport Shots BY GLEN GOSS Brattleboro and Poultney led the field in the final tabulations of the Free Press football rating system for Vermont high schools this fall. All teams have finished regular schedules and post-season games seem to be out of the question with the basketball campaign fast Among the challengers for the state crown are Lyndon, Burlington and Spaulding, all northern Class A powers. Newport, right behind Poultney in the Class tables, is a serious threat for that diadem. Football strength in the north is looking up. Nominating ballots are pouring into the Free Press office for All-State players, teams and coaches in both classes.

Final selection by state sports writers will begin next week. Last Saturday Poultney took the Marble Valley League crown by defeating Woodstock, 14-0. MSJ was upset by the Rutland, Raiders, 6-0. The other big game in the south saw the powerful Brattleboro Colonels lose face in Keene, N. 33-13.

In final contests of the north country, Spaulding powered over Bennington, 33-13, and Bishop Academy of Quebec bested St. Johnsbury Academy in rugby, 28-15, at St. Johnsbury. College football dominated the stage last week as Middlebury and St. Michael's came through with upset wins over Union and American International.

The Panthers primed for the Vermont clash by belting the Dutchmen at Schenectady, N. 20-6. The Michaelmen journeyed to Springfield, and dropped the Aces from the second ranking spot in New England, 19-14. Vermont was idle, awaiting the traditional Middlebury contest on Centennial Field Saturday. Norwich closed another disappointing campaign bowing to Worcester Tech, 21-6, at Northfield.

Frank Simas, Purple Knight halfback, shattered the post-war state scoring record with a touchdown that gave him 55 points so far this The final game against Loyola of Montreal at the new St. Michael's Field Sunday will give him an opportunity to add to his total. Basketball practices are in full swing in college, high school and town team circles. Many schedules open before the month is out.

Three Vermont men apparently couldn't wait a few hours for the opening of the deer season. Bernard, Clarence and, William McMahon of Rutland and Paul Scarsboro of Salisbury were arrested at 3 a. m.

BURLINGTON OPEN EVENINGS 4 Burlington Free Randolph Painter Awarded $975 For Injuries in Fall Morning Press Bureau MONTPELIER, Nov. 17 Commissioner of Industrial Relations John T. Conley today awarded $975 Richard W. Sivret, Randolph painter, for compensation for into.

juries received in a fall while he was painting a barn. The payment covers total dis. ability from the time of the accident on Oct. 24, 1949, to the date of a hearing on the case on July 25 this year at the rate of $25 a week. The case was brought agains Robert L.

Knight of Cranston. R. owner of the Green Mountair Stock Farm in Randolph, and the Century Indemnity of Hartford, the insurance car- rier. Conley Orders Payment Made Conley ordered the insurance company to pay the compensation. plus interest, immediately, and added that if the company fails to make the payment Knight must pay it himself.

The commissioner also ordered that Sivret be reimbursed for hospital, medical and surgical expenses. He left the matter of further compensation for disability after July 25, the date of the hearing, open for further determination either by agreement between the parties concerned or further hearing. The question in the case was whether Sivret was employed by Knight within the meaning of the workmen's compensation act. Conley found that he was. The Commissioner's findings disclose that Knight had hired a Leo N.

Flint to do carpentry work and painting about the farm at the rate of $1.65 an hour. Flint in turn had retained Sivret to do some painting. Flint paid Sivret his wages, but was reimbursed by Knight for this expense. By the terms of his order, Conley holds that Flint was not an independent contractor and that Sivret was actually employed by Knight.

Northfield Mothers Told of Work Of Elizabeth Lund Home NORTHFIELD At the meeting of the Northfield Mothers' Club, held at Howe's Hall Monday evening, the guest speaker was Mrs. Doris Jennings, director of social services at the Elizabeth Lund Home in Burlington. It was founded in 1892. The speaker described the interior Home, showed photographs of the babies in the nurseries and displayed exhibits which illustrated the functions of the Home.

These include Case Work Service, Protection and Shelter, Medical Care of Mother and Child and Adoption Service. The home has a capacity of 20 girls and is full all the time with girls not only from Vermont but also from the other New England states. Their ages usually range from 16 to the early 20s but occasionally one is in her 30s and within the last two years two 13- year olds have been admitted. The girl is made to feel that she alone must take the responsibility of deciding whether to keep the child or surrender it for adoption. An interesting detailed description of the Adoption Service was given by the speaker who told of the necessary court procedures and adoption arrangements which usually require at least two years.

The home places for adoption only babies who are born there and who stay there three months. She emphasized the point that the selection of foster parents depends upon the kind of people they are rather than upon the kind of house they live in as it is "the people that count' as material things change. All information about the child is given to the foster parents except the names of the real parents and the places they come from. Mrs. Jennings invited all present at the meeting to visit the Home.

In the discussion period that followed the speaker answered various questions and told how the Home and its services are financed.
