Mr. Kays, a member of Eu gene Lions Club and vice presi dent of Oregon State Lions Sight Conservation Foundation, spoke to the group at a luncheon mealing in Eugene Hotel. Outlining the work done hy the Foundation since its estab lishment in 1B58, Mr. Kays en listed the aid of the Auxiliary members in realizing future dreams for assisting Oregon's Hood River Homemaker To Attend ACWW Meet Hood River homemaker Mrs. Ttiddell (Athalie) Lage, will travel to Melbourne, Australia, this week on a goodwill mis sion to help promote under standing and friendship among women of the world. She will fly from Portland Saturday to the 10th triennial conference of the Associated Country Women of the World. The conference is held once every three years to restate and reinforce mutual concerns of women in the free world. Com munistic countries do not at tend. Although differences in lan guage and culture present bar riers, women of the world want many of the same things for their children, says Mrs. Lage. These include food, health serv ices, and a chance to live in peace. Many differences melt away when mothers and home makers can visit with each other nn a f ace-lo face basis, she con tinues. The ACWW conference, some what similiar in set-up to the United Nations draws from a membership of more than 6 mil lion women in 33 countries. Women representing various areas of the world gather in one large assembly hall to conduct business. All meetings are in English with Interpreters pro vided for those who need them. t.'W' Mr. and Mrs. Wendell C. Kaufman of Eugene, who returned home this week from a 42-day South Seas cruise, are pictured as they were greeted in true native fashion when the liner S.S. Mariposa arrived in Papeete, Tahiti.

In addi tion to sightseeing they were entertained twice at a "tam araa," the Tahitian luau. They returned home by air, flying first to Honolulu and then to Eugene. 2,500 blind persons, The Foundation, a coopera tive, non-profit organization, is directed by 17 trustees, the speaker reported. It does not assess the Lions clubs of the state for funds to carry on its work; all monies received are voluntary donations. "Some $1300 was sent in dur ing the first year of operation from May I860 to May 1961," Mr. Kays told the group. But in the club year May 1061 to May 1962, a total n( almost $10, 000 was received!" There are three main proj ects: The Devcrs Memorial Clin ic in Portland (set up as a Mrs. Lage, as president of the Oregon Home Economics Exten sion Council, will represent 22, 000 homemakers, who regularly take part in Oregon State Uni versity's cooperative extension programs.

Mrs. Lage first became In terested in homemaking educa tion and education for women in general through an OSU exten sion unit in Hood River county, her birthplace.

Mr. Kays told the group about his visit to the retreat last year. "You see, first-hand, the value it has to people living in darkness and realize you are participating in one of the fin est programs," he said. He not ed that while they were eating, the lights in the dining room went out, causing a bit of com motion among the sighted guests. One of the blind people said to them, reassuringly: "You just slick by me and you'll get by. And if you have trouble finding your mouth, bite your tongue and you'll know where it is!"

She graduated from the State University so you know she is no dummy. She has been going with a divorced man for the past five years. According to her they have no plans for marriage. This man told our daughter that the best check he writes out every month is the one for his alimony, and he doesn't care to get married again. Our daughter is satisfied just to "go" with him. She has her own apartment and is self-supporting, but we think someone ought to tell her that "going" with a man with no marriage in sight is not respectable. Or do you think it is? CHARLESTON DEAR CHARLESTON: It is your daughter's privilege to "go with a man" if she chooses. Whether It is "respectable" or not depends on where she goes with him . . . and how far. DEAR ARBY: When I was hired for this job I wasn't told that 1 would have to take vitamin pills every morning. Our boss is a real nut on the subject and she stands right over your desk to make sure you take the vitamin pills. Now I am 33 years old and 1 don't need anyone to tell me what's good for me. These pills come up on me (excuse me) and I have a very disagree able taste in my mouth all morning. Must I quit a good paying job over something so foolish? ANTI VITAMIN PILLS DEAR ANTI: Tell your boss (confidentially) that the pills disagree wilh you and I'm sure they won't be "brought up" (excuse me?) again. DEAR ABBY: My wife's parents live downstairs and we live upstairs. Every evening her old man comes up here and asks if we were through with the newspaper. Sometimes we are and sometimes we aren't, but we always give it to him just to be nice. If a page is missing I get a telephone call and have to hunt it up and bring it down. I don't dare to work the cross word puule because her old lady likes to do it. And my wife can't tear anything nut of the paper because we get a beef if something is missing. Who should tell them to buy their own paper? Since they're my wife's parents, I think it's her job. Right? BURNED UP DEAR BURNED: Wrong! Buy your In laws a yearly sub scription to the newspaper for their Christmas, anniversary or birthday presents. o - Unload your problem on Abby.
