In Sacramento, Governor Brown
has just completed appointments
to a 19-member study commission
to delve into the admittedly com'
plicated subject of California's wcl
fare procedures.
She, commission was authorized
by the 1961 California legislature.
It. is instructed by the law to take
a CRITICAL look.
It is an Important committee,
and the California legislature act
cd wisely in creating it. The wel
fare problem in these modern days
is one of our BIG problems. If
wisely and soundly administered
it ' can be wonderful. If unwisely
and unsoundly administered, it can
lead to scandalous abuses.
Here's a thought for the new
commission:
The more chisclers who get on
the gravy train and manage to
say there for considerable periods
of time, the less there will be for
those honest needy persons for
whose assistence welfare programs
arc really designed. This thought
must be kept constantly in mind
if the public welfare programs are
to' be made to work as they are
llNTfcNUfcD to work:
EVERY CHISELER RORS
SOME HONEST NEEDY PER
SON.
The news wires a few days ago
carried this interesting (and, of
course, somewhat cynical) little
story from New York:
Most of the welfare clients who
picked up federal surplus food at
new distribution points in New
York City yesterday walked back
to their bomcs, carrying in their
arms the packages that bad been
issued to them.
There was an exception:
One portly gentleman got his two
bags of food after showing the
surplus food certificates that had
been sent to him by the city's wel
fare Department.
He walked to the curb, hailed
taxi, tossed his supplies inside,
climbed in after them, gave the
driver his home address, and was
driven away.
That brings back an incident
of the Big Depression back in
me ivms.
In the city ot Detroit, back In
those days when the world as we
had known it was suddenly upset,
strange tilings happened. There
were people who came down
the Detroit river In THEIR
YACHTS to get their relief checks
It created quite a slir. There were
protests that such things shouldn't
be permitted to be.
The final ruling (in those ad
mittcdly disturbed days) was that
these people had become accustom
ed to a way of life that included
private yachts and that they were
entitled to continue thpir way of
life yachts and all. So they got
their relief checks and wept back
to their yachts and went home.
'Maybe that was the reasoning
in Die case of the New Yorker
yho came down the other day in
taxi for his relief food and then
carried it home in a taxi. That
was the way he had become ac
customed to. So he continued it.
But
: It Isn't the RIGHT way to han
dle welfare assistance. When it
is handled that way, for whatever
reason, we run the grave risk of
making UNEMPLOYMENT more
attractive than employment at
least to a lot of pcoplo of the less
admirable kind.

LIGHTS ON TRUCKS
By Charles V. Stanton
An extremely valuable service to the general public is
to be performed this next weekend.
The Oreiron Trucking Association has announced it will
join in the effort to reduce traffic accidents over the Labor
Day holidays.
It will aid in the safety program by keeping truck
liehts burnine. The lighted trucks will remind travelers to
drive safely. They will serve in a measure, too, to keep
many drivers cautious when they might otherwise drive
recklessly.
The Oregon State Police have used lighted automobiles
on patrolled highways in recent months as a means of
warning drivers. Most drivers slow down and exert care
when in the vicinity of a police car. Some drivers, when
they think they are in no danger of being observed, will
become reckless. Thus the appearance of a lighted ve
hicle is expected to help control some of the "wild" driving
normally occurring daily and particularly on holiday week
ends. Drivers will not always know whether the approach
ing light is on a truck or police car.
Safe Holiday Promoted
The Oregon Trucking Association has announced that
truck drivers will keep lights turned on continuously over
the holiday weekend. The lights will be turned on, start
ing at 4 p.m. Friday, and will remain as "Truck Lights on
for Safety" through Monday night.
The Labor Day weekend is a most dangerous time. It
is the last holiday period for the vacation season. Schools
start immediately after the holiday. Some people will be
making distant trips before the fall and winter closes in
on them. They'll probably try to travel a long distance
in too short a time.
Then there'll be many people who will take advantage
of the holiday for a trip to the coast, to the mountains
or who simply will want to go to nearby camps or picnic
spots, fish in lakes and rivers or en.ioy outdoor sports
Consequently our roads will be carrying an exceptionally
large volume of traffic. With an increased volume of
traffic exposure to accident is amplified. The accident
hazard is, in fact, proportionately far greater than the
heavier volume of cars. It is obvious that the number of
cars on the road would increase the danger of accident far
more than the actual rise in traffic volume.
Caution Needed
I here Is, however, an exception which in one sense
nullifies the peril brought about by increased exposure.
That exception is to be found in the sense of caution pro
duced by a higher degree of danger.
One of the safest roads to be found anywhere is the
narrow, crooked, rough road which a motorist must drive
with extreme care. We find that when we replace the
crooked road with a comparatively good road drivers tend
to become more careless. We get more accidents.
The same is true, I believe, when highways are crowd
ed. Faced with more hazard, drivers are apt to be more
cautious.
But there are some drivers in whom caution seems to
be lacking. There are a few who are inept, who are in
danger of causing accident by their lack of driving ability.
There are others who forget to be cautious because they
tire themselves by driving too long without a stop, or who
become so tired and sleepy that they aren't alert at a
time when being alert may be the difference between be
ing alive or dead.
Unquestionably the use of lights on trucks, added to
light on police cars, will do much to curb "wild" drivers.
Lights will help maintain caution on the part of the
tired driver. It is most sincerely to be hoped that they
will frighten drunken drivers off the road.
Truck drivers are to be commended for the interest
they are showing.
DEAR ABBY
Abigail Van Buren
Dream On, Little Girl!
DEAR ABBY: Please don't give
me one of your lectures about how
hopeless it is to be in love with a
married man because 1 am al
ready too far gone. 1 am 24, and
have loved this married man for
two years. He is 38. I have ex
perienced all the disappointments
and heartaches a girl in my situa
tion has to live through. But I still
have hope that one day we will be
together legally. I KNOW he loves
me. He has promised me that if
anything happens to his wife, I am
next. I believe him. Do I make
sense?
WILLING TO WAIT
DEAR WILLING: No. Because
neither you nor your boy friend is
immortal. . .the odds art M and
two-thirds per cent in favor of the
wife. So not only are the odds
against you, but so are the laws
of man, the codes of conduct
and your luck.

Some Of Life's Problems
A Man Has To Put Up With
NEW YORK (AP) There are have better sense than to ram his
some problems in life a man just
can't do much about. He simply
must put up with them.
High on the list is how to cope
with women carrying umbrellas
on rainy days.
A pretty woman peering around
the rim of a summer parasol in a
rose garden is one of the loveliest
sights on earth.
Hand that same gal a bumber-
shoot on a rainy day in town,
however, and she becomes a ram
pant traffic menace to male life,
limb and property down any
street she ambles.
You can chart her progress by
the stricken cries of men passers
by humbly pleading:
"Please, ma'am, may I have
my eyeball back?"
To each of them the lady sternly
replies:
"Well, what's it oing on my
umbrella in the first place?"
And she pauses to inspect her
umbrella to be sure it is undam
aged. That's an odd thing about
women on rainy days. When they
bump into a man and impale hi in
on their umbrella, they automati
cally assume he is a masher try
ing to strike up an acquaintance
with tlicm the hard way.
They don't worry about his
wounds. They feet he got what he
deserves. All they fret about is
whether the umbrella is all right.
No woman at least none I have
ever seen ever feels it necessary
to apologize for stabbing a hole
in a man's forehead with her um
brella. Her reasoning:
1. "What if I was on lhe wrong
side of the sidewalk? 11a should

DEAR ABBY: What do you have
to do to be considered "company"?
Nobody has ever considered me
"company," and I don't know how
to take it.
When 1 go to someone's house
and someone else calls or drops
over, they always say, "Oh, I
don't have company. It's just
Mary." I am almost 50 now, and
it has always been that way.
I get invited places, but I am
always asked to come early and
help set the table before the "com
pany" comes. Or to stay and help

DEAR ABBY: I have been going
with a boy I like very much, except
for one little habit which drives me
mad. Whenever we listen to his car
radio (and it is always on), or
when we are dancing, he constant
ly HUMS in a monotone. And I
mean constantly! He sounds like
an engine. I don't want to insult
him, but how can I get him to
stop it?

DEAR "EDGY": When HE hums
YOU hum. Only hum on key.
Unless ho is tone-deaf, he will
yield the right-of-way. If he keeps
humming anyway, learn to like it.
Hummingbirds make good lovebirds.

We never have considered that j this
the proposed Astoria Bridge is war- over
ranted by the economics of the
area.
The State of Washington, which
would have to be a partner in the
venture, has doubts. And in nego
tiating the basic agreement with
Oregon the people from Olympia
have insisted on an uneven split
of costs, Washington paying only;
some one-third of the many mil
lions needed. I
This, of course, was wrong. A:
bridge goes both ways, and sooner i
or later the benefits are equal at
both ends. !
But the latest move bothers us
far more. Washington now de
mands guarantees that tolls will re
pay in full Washington's share.
This could mean that tolls would
continue even after the 30-year'
point when both states must pay
off their mortgages. Or it could!
mean that tolls would have to be
boosted to an exorbitant level.
This arrangement also has met
with disapproval from the U. S.
Bureau of Roads which warns that
the federal government may not be
willing to share in the cost of the
Oregon approach ramp to the
bridge with such strings attached.
Washington should either share
as an equal partner, without spe
cial guarantees, or withdraw entirely.
The bridge is a risky proposition
at best. It becomes economically
absurd when it is not handled on
a straightforward basis.

After more than 40 years of
studying the tactics of women um
brella carriers on rainy days, 1
find they can be grouped inlo sev
eral distinct classes:
Tlio kind that won't close their
umbrellas until after they board a
crowded bus.
The kind that sit next to you on
the bus and rest the tip of their
wet umbrella on your foot so that
the water drips off and fills your
shoe.
The kind that insists on opening
their umbrella again before get
ting off the bus, thus giving every
body within 15-foot range a free
cold shower.
The kind of woman who, if she
fails to gore a passing man, hur
ries around the block so she can
have second try at him.
One of the odd things about
women who carry umbrellas on
rainy days is their feminine chiv
alry. It is noblesse oblige with
them never to wing children or
another woman. Only men get the
point.
Twenty women with their um
brellas wide open could crowd into
a telephone booth and emerge un
scathed and unscralched.
But let one lone solitary man
come warily down the avenue and
eight out of ten women with um
brellas will manage to jab him in
tne lace. neck, ears or run even
if he gets down on his hands and
knees and tries desperately to
scuttle by on all fours.
It is his doom. It is his destiny.
It's life.
There is only one way for a
fellow to escape women carrying
umbrellas on rainy days.
Stay home, and don't answer
the doorbell. If you do, you're
bound to find a strange woman
standing there holding a wet um
brella. "Excuse me." she'll say. "I
guess this is the wrong apart
ment." As she turns to go. her umbrella
will bang against you. and you'll
reel back blindly with a brand
new hole in your forehead.
You can't win.
WASHINGTON (AP) In this
most savage of centuries, and the
most unpredictable, the resigna
tion of Brazil's President Janio
Quadros may be only a minor
episode or a turning point in the
history of the Western Hemis
phere. One thing is sure: Brazil, with
67 million people, is the biggest
of all Latin American countries
and, whatever direction it takes,
it will have an effect on its
neighbors.
At this point no one seems sure
whether Brazil will turn left
Joao Goulart, the vice president
supposed to succeed Quadros is
a leftist or whether a military
dictatorship of the right will take
over and keep Goulart out.
For that matter, it doesn't
seem too clear what direction
Quadros might have taken or
whether this sudden move of his
is part of a plan to come back
soon how lie could do it isn't
clear, either with more power
than before.
Even Goulart seemed uncertain
over the weekend. He had visited
Communist China and was in
Hong Kong when news of Qua
dros' resignation reached him. He
started flying home but stopped
off in Paris.
He seemed to want to make
sure what kind of reception to ex
pect when he got home trouble
or open arms.
Brazil is a land of great wealth
and enormous poverty. In the
northeast Communists had stirred
the peasants to revolt. When Qua
dros became president seven
months ago he inherited tremen
dous problems. Brazil was in bad
financial shape.
He himself was regarded as a
conservative financially. But from
the start he gave Brazil a sense
of movement: he investigated
government corruption, proposed
tax reforms and economies to bal
ance the budget, fired some un
needed government workers.
These were some of his meas
ures and they made enemies for
him. when he resigned Friday he
said he had wanted Brazil for the
Brazilians but that his efforts at
reform had been blocked. An op
position Congress had bottle
necked him.
He called his policy neutral but
got huge foreign aid from this
country. Yet, he sought to restore
relations with Russia, which had
been broken off in 1947, and had
sent representatives to Commu
nist China.
In 1960, before taking office, he
visited Cuba. He called the Cas
tro revolution beautiful but later
said he would be the first to con
demn a Communist Cuba. In all
this he kept the United States
guessing.
There wasn't and isn't any
doubt that if Brazil went Commu
nist it would be one of the great
disasters for this country which
has Fidel Castro for a next-door
neighbor and which doesn't know
what direction British Guiana will
take.
This broad puzzlement about
what's going to happen next in
Latin America is typical of this
20th century when the West and
communism are in such deadly
struggle that intrigue spreads
across the face of the earth.
And even if Bruzil turns right
it might be a spur to its back
ward neighbors to turn left in a
hurry to keep the same thing
from happening to them.
