Observer, La Grande, OreT, Thurs,, June 18, 1959 Page 6 ANN LANDERS, Answers Your Problems L . Dear Ann Landers: My husband is a policeman. He doesn't make much money and we have a large family of youngsters who arc al ways needing something. Recently he was offered an 'Op portunity to add to his income. We discussed it and I said it was perfectly all right with me. His extra job is throwing the switch which ends the lives of criminals sentenced to death in the elec tric chair.. , ; .1 , , . i .... When my husband's mother found out what he was doing for extra money she made such a terrible fuss that it created bad feelings.' , . 1 Orankly, I never folt that my husband was murdering anyone. He only carries out the verdict. My mother-in-law says he's taking a human life every time he throws the switch and all the foncy language doesn't change ti.is. Now I don't know where I stand anymore. My mother-in-law is grieving so over her son "killing people" that it's actually making her ill. Is she right? Shall I tell him to give up this job for his mother's sake? Please advise me, Ann. I don't know what to do W.M. t : Dear W. M.: If your husband needs a second job to earn ex tra nney there must be other things he can do. He should not insist on this particular job if It makes his mother sick. Regard less of whether or not HE feels (ustified, urge him to quit out of respect for his mother. ; Dear Ann: I'm in a spot. A fel- low. I dnled a few times has flip ped ins lid over me. He's a per fectly fine guy but I just don't c-rc for him. '. It's hard to de scribe, but when I'm with him no hells ring, no angles sing noth iiig. I decided after our last date wculd be "busy ' if he called again. This morning, I received a doz en American Beauty roses from the creep. It made me angry. I resent his tryinig to overwhelm me. If I acknowldcge the flowers I'm afraid he'll consider It en couragement and then I'll NEV ER get rid of him. It seems to me that flowers are in the same category as a greeting card and therefore need no acknowledg ment. Am I right? VEXED. NDear Vexed: You are wrong. Flowers are not "in the same category as a greeting card." Have yu ever tried to 'buy a doien roses for a quarter? You don't have to date him again if you don't want to, but you owe him a thank you note. One thing has nothing to do with the other. Stop rationalizing.

NEW YORK (UPI) Stocks scored good gains for the second straight t session ( today in more -:Tho rally restored, around $1 billion to market values which brought the two-day gain to , around $ billion. Rails turned strong on reports of a sharp increase in car load ings to the best level ' in 19 months. Heavy industries such as steel and aluminum also met sup port, as did tires and chemicals. 1 Profit taking brought the aver ages down from their best levels of the day but gains far out numbered losses. It was the first session in a while which saw new highs exceeding new lows. The rails had gains running to a point in some of the leaders on the vastly improved traffic picture. Gains in the chemicals also ran to a point or more in some of the loaders. Autos were fractionally higher with American Motors an active Issue. : Of all the major groups, the oils made the worst showing, re flecting concern over a weaken ing price structure in the face of high inventories and a cut in Texas Oil allowables. Losses ran past a point at the low in Indiana Standard. On the American Exchange, slock prices improved irregularly on moderate turnover.

Wall btreet experts hxpecting Stock Market Moon By ELMER C. WALZER UPI Staff Writer NEW- YORK (UPD Several of Wail Street's top experts are anticipating a stock market moon shoot in July and August. Thi-y don't call it a moon shoot. To them it's a summer rally, a traditional market movement for most years in market history. Rockets to be used for the trip, according to the guesses right now, are the best vehicles the market has its bluest blue chips. 'v The chances are the moon won't be hit. But if the experts right in their projections, t market, will come as close to the moon as it has been in its history which dates back to May 17, 1792 when 24 brokers drew a historic agreement under a bultonwood tree in Wall Street. Conservative L. O. Hooper, ana lyst for W. E. Hutton - & Co., writing in the current Forbes Magazine, believes We are going to have1 a rising stock market this summer with the good stocks in the lead.

Mayor Norrls Poulson issued that statement Wednesday as he commented on labor difficulties at the Los Angeles-Long Beach Harbor. The mayor, recently re turned from Washington, hinted that there might be a congres sional Inquiry into the situation. "One .thing seems to. be clear this summer? Plan first, so your sale will be in. line wth an over all management and marketing plan. " We often hear-that trees' arc "green gold," and that a fat growing woodland is like "money in the bank," earning a steady rate of interest. This is true about fast-growing trees . they , are working for the farmer and earn ing him dividends each year. But there are also trees in ev ery woodland that just don't. mea sure up. The amount of wood these trees grow each year may be enly one-tenth what neighbor ing trees grow. These trees should be harvested. , .

She was convinced this made them turn out "real good," but she didn't know why. ' Softening of pickles has caused million-dollar losses to pickle packers in the United States some years. Recently, scientists ai me U.S. Food Fermentation Labora tory at North Carolina State Col lege discovered that enzymes in the brine were causing the soft ening. The enzymes were traced to molds that came into the brine or withered flower petals on the end of cucumbers. Damago to pickles from the mold enzyme can be controlled by draining off the first brine 36 co 48 hours after tanks have been filled and replacing with fresh brine of the same strength. The scientists also found that extracts of grape leaves prevent ed softening of the brined cucum bers. Leave of Scuppernong, a native American grape variety. were found to have the highest concentration of the enzyme in hibitor proving grandmother's method had a sound foundation. o Oregon' farmers' bid for a big ger chunk of the Pacific Coast's wide-open' pork market gained strength this week with announce ment of further expansion in the swine research program at Ore gon State College. Purchase of 10 purenrea Yorkshire gilts will open a new broeding line at the college to help speed findings for better and more economic pork production, animal scientist in charge of swine breeding research. Other developments in recent weeks include jiooroval of an in dustry-sponso.ri swine testing station ni:.i- Ilcnniston to test about sM hogs annually. The Oregon Wheat Commission is fi nancing .construction of the sta tion to be operated by OSC scien tists in cooperation with Oregon swine producers New swine research facilities were also added recently at OSC tor swine lecaing and production experiments including testing of Oregon-grown feeds. PacificCoast States now ship m aoout 70 per cent of their oork needs, mainly from the midwest. Oregon farmers are attempting '0 supply coastal markets, through rapidly increasing swine produc tion. Dr. J. C. Miller, OSC dairy and animal husbandry department head, says establishment of the Yorkshire line is part of a stop-ped-up swine research program to help farmers produce the quanti ly and quality of hogs needed to meet regional ' market de mands. OSC has for many years con ducted research with Berkshire swine recognized as one of the outstanding herds of Berkshircs on the Pacific Coast. Dr. Eng land said the Yorkshire herd is a supplement to the Berkshircs to add a "broader base for genetic studies. The Yorkshire gilts were sclect- reu from the purebred herd of Earl Simantel, Cornelius, for high production and high-quality, meat type characteristics. Three York sire boars are on order from the midwest, and the first litters cf this foundation stock will be farrowed next spring. Two midwest Berkshire boars are also on order to broaden the genetic base of the OSC herds ar,d provide a wide range of in heritance for selective breeding. Research emphasis is on genetic over 700 by the end of August, "perhaps as high as 750." The best level that the closing industrial average ever attained was its close on May 29th at 643.79. A 100 point rise would be more than 15 per cent above that level and more than 16 per cent i above the current level. Several H other analysts join Hooper in looking for a summer rally. Ralph A. Rotncm, analyst for Harris, Upham & Co.. finds the market has risen an average of 13 per cent from the May-June lows to the July-September highs in the past 20 years. He looks for a further intermediate correction before a summer rally gets started. . Some of the experts who go along with these two base their predictions on an-anticipated new demand for common stocks that will be generated in the sale of various annuities which are in the process of being launched. It is generally agreed that the recent sharp rise in corporate earnings to a record rate, higher dividends, and anticipation of more dividend increases to come have made many stock prices respectable. Also, some excesses have been squeezed out of the market nota bly those that came into the so called glamor shares. Strike Threat Minimized No one seems to be worrying about tight money or about strikes. Each of these, it is noted, is an accompaniment of prosper ity. You don't have strikes in a recession, and you don't have a demand for money that sends rates up except in prosperity. Assume that the market accom plishes its goal of a summer rally during July and August, what then? That's seen as a difficult ques tion. One thing to guide guess ing on that subject is the fact that a big rise on top of present prices would leave the market in a ' vulnerable position to profit taking. " Market men nolo that the list hasn't had so much as a five per cent decline in a long time. There hove been declines of 10 per cent or more in bull markets of tho past. Some declines in bull move ments have gone as far as 25 per cent. When and if the 700-mark is attained, many of the experts wouldn't be surprised to see a decline of 10 to 20 per cent before order is restored. Such decline would surprise a lot of traders in this market who have never seen a real market setback. PLUNGE KILLS STEEPLEJACK PATERSON. N.J.
