'This Is Where It Begins, or Ends?" The Chi 6 rial ' fa m Editor's Cnrnftr MU VII VU1 kJ vvaitvi By Charles V. Stanton 4 The Newt-Review, Roseburg, Ore." WEDNESDAY, JULY 24, 1963 Family Planning Needs Public Assist Many population experts are thor oughly worried ubout the tremendous in creases in the number of people , in the world. They feci that if population grows at its present rate, the Earth will have to support twice as many people by the year 2000 as it is supporting today. They have their doubts these six billion people can be supported adequately. With its wide open spaces and com paratively sparse populations, Oregon isn't too worried about overpopulation now. But it does have a reason for bet ter population control. This was recognized recently at a meeting at Diamond Lake attended by Oregon health officers. One of the speak ers was Dr. Harold M. Haugen, medical director of the Planned Parenthood Clin ic in Denver, Colo. He pointed out the world-wide' con cern over the population explosion being felt today, but at the same time he cited a result of lack of family planning which lias its impact on Oregonians. The problem Is that generally, it is the people who cannot afford to have chil dren who have them. Because they have very little income to meet the needs of themselves and their children, it be comes the burden of government to care for them. As solid evidence of this, the aid to de pendent children costs of public welfare in Oregon during the 1950s doubled. So, Oregon doesn't have to worry right away about being overcrowded, but it is carrying a financial burden which probably could be lightened by a strong er effort to preach that parents have no more children than they can afford. ' Dr. Haugen insisted that many people don't know that help in planning sizes of families is available. Because of this, he says, planned parenthood groups feel that family planning should become a part of public health programs. He pointed out that a study made in Chicago indicated indigent families will travel only short distances to get contra ceptive information. This means, he said, that more often than not, family plan ning must be brought to the family rath er than expecting parents to seek out the information. He said the system of bringing public health agencies into the planned parent hood pictures is effective. He noted that in a study of 235 welfare families in Mecklenburg County, N.C., over a three year period, there were no unplanned pregnancies and the cost of the contracep tive program to the public health depart ment was 125th the cost which could have been anticipated if the program were not introduced. His reasoning that a family planning program should be introduced is a good one, because it could cut down on the burdens to both the families involved and society at large which has to dig up money for welfare. It's also sensible that the public health departments of Douglas and other, counties would best fill the job. They have the organizational structure, and, working with-the welfare departments, they know where the problem families ire. WASHINGTON WINDOW Florida Weekly's Editor Has Best Journalism Job Br LYLE C. WILSON United Pren International Guest conductor and also sub ject of today's essay will be Ernest F. Lyons who should be Iho envy of every press associa tion and newspaper working stiff who maneuvers this piece toward nrint or into Uie waste basket. Lyons probably has the best job in journalism. He Is editor of the Stuart, Fla., News which means Hint he works and noes fishing in the Stuart-Jensen Bench area of cast coast Florida. Tho News is a weekly, fal with local news, advertising and pic tures each Thursday. It easily would rate among the 10 best weeklies In the United States. The combination of an exceptional ly good newspaper In the excep tionally delightful Stuart Jensen licach area is what makes Lyons' job, maybe, the best in journal ism. Lyons is a friendly man slow to anger. The Post Office Department's new iipcode, how ever, is too much for editor Ly ons. He says it will be a flop and he fears It will bo the most expensive burden on business and Industry since tuxes. In the News, Lyons wrote: "The U.S. printing Industry should chip in for n solid gold monument to Postmaster Gen oral F. Edward Day. Good For Printers "His new zip-code numbers, romlng as they do ahead of dog (lays, will be a shol-in-thc-arm to the printers In nn otherwise dull period and will cii.it American business untold millions of dol lars. "Indeed, if we were in the print ing business (the News has no job shop), we would call in nur salesmen and give them a pep talk. 'Gel out there boys and sell! Ever)' letterhead and en velope in the U.S.A. is out-of-date. They got no tin!' "And there would be a sense of urgency h our attempt to get this business, tho sweetest printing plum since the phone companies changed over to the dial system. "For common sense would tell us that tip is going to lie a dis mal flop and we'd better make buy while the sun shines. Human nolngs just area t made like com puters and It would take a com puling system to remember all of the tip (lumbers of all of the cor respondence, In which the average person engfges. The general Idea that Postmaster General Day is trying to sell is that, if you send H by tip it will go hv fast U.S. mail; if not by zip It will go hv slow U.S. mule. Scars Roebuck catalogs would be glad to get -that order. We pre dict Hint it will be a flop." The beauty of Lyons' job is that he can do something affirmative bdoiii nis frustiat ons. When, lor example, he is overcome by some such enormity as Postmaster General Day's zip-code, Lyons can rig an cci skin on a line and take a 30-pound snook from the St. Lucio Kivcr. Or, with mora elaborate gear he can lie into a sailfish off shore. . In a mora contemplate mood editor Lyons can simply sit and obscrvo the little St. Lucio fish leaping to cscaiic the big fisli The leapcrs will be up to 18 Inches long and may weigh couple or three pounds. The big ones uown nciow arc really Dig, tarpon. What we working stiffs think about editor Lyons is this: Wo think he's got it pretty soft. Horizon Club Group Makes Appointments At a special meeting of the Oda- ko Horizon Club held recently, standing committees for tho year were appointed by Barbara Davis, president. Heading tho committees will be the following chairmen: Leslie Davis, program: Karen Martin. business; Katlie Inman. and Bar bara Sanr, service: Linda Daly, membership; and Patty Stein, nub- nciiy. 1'lie remainder of tho meeting was taken up by discussion of the seven Crafts Program Aide ac tivily and the requirements for in dividual Torcbhearcr rank. Linda Daly and Patty Stein were appoint ed to keep the group scrapbook. Mrs. Ilurlehell Davis is advisor of tho group. 9n 2) Gone $1 au5 Taken from the filet of the Newt- Review Do It Claim Yourselfers Admiration 40 YEARS AGO July 24, 1923 A portable paint spraying outfit recently placed nn the market, is distinguished by its compactness and lightness, weighing, with its carrying case, only 28 pounds, so that a workman can take it along to any job where there are facili ties for running it, says the Popu lar Mechanics Magazine. Its air compressor is driven by an electric motor which consumes about as much current ns a 40-watt lamp. 25 YEARS AGO July 24, 1938 Paris fashions for full include jeweled sandals, which have a 1W to 2-inch extra sole for quietness, asymmetrical trimmings on dress- of "Bncchannlo Blue, Jupi ter Reds" and "Tyrian Purples." and window cutouts and transpar ent tops for the more exotic eve ning gowns. 10 YEARS AGO 4 July 24, 1953 Desire to establish a Civil Air Patrol squadron here was evident last night as about 43 area flying enthusiasts turned out for an in formal meeting.

RUARK I was trying to remove a jam- cd finger from the typewriter keys without resorting to major sur gery when somo idiot, doubtless at tracted by my" screams of pain, handed me an advertisement for something called "Furn-a-Kil." In this pitch for activity by a pre fabricated furniture firm, a trim blonde is shown in various phas es of throwing together a batch of Louis Quinzc cabinetry with no more effort than the average housewife unzips a tin of soup. It is doubtless true that some 97-pound weaklings with a green thumb for tinkering can hurl to gether sumptuous confections of component parts and arrive at complete suites of French Provin cial dining-room furniture, Early American drop-lid bars, and snug cabinets for the TV and hi-fi ma chinery all undoubtedly de-coin-ponentcd as well. Admiration Great I know one editor who spends most of his spare time in the base ment sawing off his thumbs with power tools, in nuest of nerfnelion which would have stnecerod Loon- not, for instance, read a map ardo da Vinci.

And all I can say is that I am lost in admiration, for I have been playing a type writer for money for 30 years and still haven't learned how to change a ribbon without hanging myself, nor have I ever learned the sim ple art of attacking the machine with more than two fingers.

Logs toss me on the fire. I have been attacked by more ta ble corners and desk drawers than any living man. Scotch tape baf fles me, and even opening an en velope is an ordeal. Zippers? Don't ask. This has always bugged me, as I pay the monthly bill for Band Aids and arnica, which generally outstrips the whisky outlay. We have collapsible chairs those summer deck jobs and I have never been able to figure out to erect or strike one without break ing an arm. Yet the coordination is still working; I can shoot and draw a picture and dance a little bit and beam in on a babe. I can even whistle. Somebody left vital component out of me. Choice Always Wrong This palpable ineptitude does not confine itself to overt acts. I can- child, all full of unlikely knowl edge to a disgusting extent. But 1 cannot remember anything I want to remember; I just recall things 1 have been trying to forget. It's Not Fair There must be a psychological explanation, somewhere. I know Wakamba ex-cannibal who can strip a motor to its gizzards, place his horny thumb on the erroneous gidget, and devise a magnificent im provision with his grandfather's shinbone and a hank of typewrit er, even if he doesn't know what they are called. This cat was born in a hut, nev er saw a school, thinks it s the noise that actually kills the ani mal, but is an expert gunsmith. Somehow it doesn't seem fair. I had 16 years of high and low edu cation, own a complete set of En cyclopedia Britunnica, and 1 can not set a mouse trap without catch ing a larger rat. I know this is a do-it-yourself epoch, due to the high cost of plumbers, wheelwrights and al chemists. But do not call upon me to fix the leaky faucet or minister to the blown fuse. Call me sweet heart, call me darling, call me dear, but if you want anything constructive done around the joint you better call a mechanic. (Copyright 1963 by united Feature Synd., Inc.) Hatfield Is Well Prepared For A National Candidacy Orejron newspapers have been devoting a good deal of editorial comment and speculation to the probable political fortunes of Gov. Mark Hatfield. Thev all agree that Hatfield has hitched his political wagon to a star. In other words, he's aiming for high of fice. Many observers see him as a vice - presidential nomi nee either at the next election or at some later date. Others predict he is to become a candidate for U.S. sen ator to replace Mattrine Xettberger. Then there's the rumor that he'll seek a more favorable political climate.
