Time For A New Approach?
"Jep" Turner will be leaving in a short time for a new
job in California, giving up the youth counselor's position
he has held here for the past few years.
A committee composed of persons directly connected
with juvenile work is all set to screen applicants for the
position as they make themselves known..
We would respectfully suggest that the committee do
something else first, and that is examine the job before
they examine the applicants.
There is no criticism implied or otherwise of
Turner's work intended in this suggestion..
But at the same time, when a change in personnel is
coming up already it would seem to be wise to examine the
position first.
What has the job entailed in the past? What kind of
work has been required? Is the approach which has been
used previously the best possible one to use in combatting
juvenile delinquency and handling problem juveniles?
At the risk of being accused of being "pollyannish"
we would venture an offhand opinion that it might be
wise at this time to change our philosophy in these re
gards, that we look upon the task as one of providing pre
ventive care, rather than trying to cure an existing prob
lem. To us, it seems that this approach fits in very well
with the practices followed by County Judge C. L. Allen
who is ultimately responsible for the handling of juvenile
problems in Deschutes county. As this newspaper has
noted before, Judge Allen is doing a good job on juvenile
matters. Making a juvenile counselor a real counselor, as
It must have been intended originally, could be of consid
ferable help to the Judge in the future. '
; Juvenile problems are not rampant in Central Ore
gon. A preventive approach might help to keep them from
ever becoming so in the future.
Danger in The Brush
There is a bit of no-man's land adjacent to Bend, on
the brushy, lightly timbered slopes of Awbrey Heights.
; It is a land where it is dangerous to walk these spring
days. Bullets are buzzing through the brush, apparently
fired by youngsters trying their skill with .22 rifles, and
bccasionally knocking birds from trees and brush.
Several Bend residents have complained they have
3ieard the whine of bullets mighty close.
Surely in an area such as Bend, where hunting is a
top sport, there should be no effort to curb the activities
of youngsters with guns providing such activities do
not endanger people. Rifles of .22 caliber are not of the
big-gun type, but they have been known to kill at a dis
tance of half a mile.
Most disturbing feature of the target work of young
sters in the Awbrey Heights brush is the fact that they
are not learning safety factors that will be of top impor
tance when they grow up, acquire big guns and go out in
search of big game.
Then the danger of random shooting in the brush, to
wards nearby houses or trails, will be mighty dangerous.
This might be a good place to suggest that Bend boys
' wishing to become proficient in marksmanship, and at tin
same time learn safety lessons that will moan much in fu
ture years, should sign up in Police Chief John Truett's
firearms class.
Incidentally, the danger on the slopes of Awbrey
Heights will become more dangerous in the days just
ahead. The tie-up season starts on April I. It is a season
when many persons living in the westerly fringe of th
city will be walking their dogs in the Awbrey Heights
woods.
Some of the youngsters shooting in the woods west of
town, and around the stale park on the Deschutes just be
low town, have birds as their targets. Possibly they should
be told that practically all birds, especially the songsters
are protected by federal and state laws.

Demos Set to Howl Next Month
Take If From Income
A measure introduced in the lower house of Congress
would amend the tax laws to provide that 150 per cent of
the tuition and student fees paid to a tax exempt institu
tion of higher learning could be deducted from the feder
al income tax of the person paying them. ,
Offhand the idea is an attractive one, although pa
rents of college graduates of recent years will wonder a
little bitterly why nothing of the kind was done before.
The benefits of the bill, you see, would not be retroactive.
inc measure, now ever, lias a weakness -which stems
from tho combined provisions of deduction from the tux
rather than from the tax base, and in the fixed percent
age of outlay which is so deductible.
What this actually means is that the person in a .".0
per cent tax bracket would have the equivalent of full ex
emption from income of the amounts paid. That is fine.
But the person in a bracket higher than ."0 per cent w ould
have only part exemption. And the person in a less than :(
per cent bracket would have full exemption and a bonus
exemption as well. Neither of these is good.
Furposc of the bill to make a college education
available to more students is admirable. Colleges seek
ing increased enrollment, ov protection of the current lev
el of enrollment against the deterrent of increasing cost
of higher education, should be in favor of it.

April 1 to 16 will be the Demo
crats' time to howl. Congress will
practically shut down in honor of
Jefferson mid Jackson and inci
dentally Raster. This is to make
up for tho Republican shutdown
February to observe Lincoln's
birthday and incidentally Washing
ton's. This year it revealed the
ChicHRo split in the GOP.
Culiniinntioil of the Democratic:
doings will be a $1(10 - a - plale
dinner in honor of Sam Rayburn
of Texas, Speaker of the House of
Representatives. The place and the
dinner committee haven't even
been named yet, but already
around 100 reservations have
lulled in.
If these advance sinus mean
anything, this Saturday night blow
out should launch the Democrats'
11158 Presidential campaign
without a cundidate. It might even
do something to get the Demo
cratic treasury out of the red.
Incidentally. Matthew II. Mc-
Clnskcy, of Philadelphia, the man
wlm invented the $100 - a - plale
dinner back in l'.llil, has now re
ported for work as Treasurer of
the D e m o c r a t i c National :
Committee. i
The real significance of this is
lhal the lll.'Hi campaigns are hound
to cost a great deal more than
any before.
Sen. Thomas C. Ilennlngs (I)..,
Mo., I has introduced a bill to in
crease the Halch act ceiling on
political campaign expenses by
am- organization 1mm .! million
to $('i .") million. Tins doubling of
the maximum gives an idea of
what is ahe.-id for Ihe fund raisers
in limes when evcr tiling costs
more, and color television is just ,
around Ihe corner.
The lVmoorjils are M'tw fairly
well set on Aug. Ill, !!)'(, as the
opening dale for Ihcir Presidential
nominating convenlion in Chicago,
according lo National Chairman
Paul M. Under. While the risen
hower Republicans steered clear
of the Windy Cily as being too rc
aelionarv. Ibis does not holher the
1 leinoerals ill Ihe slightest. Nor
does the prospect of (.'Indigo's mid
summer heat seem lo Imther Ihem.
The holler it gets, the hotter they
like it.
I'tider the new schedule, both
parl.ies will go right from the con
ventions into the campaigns. The
doldrums will be eliinin;itel.
With the tunes anil the phc-.-s
set 17 months ahead and wilh the
money provided even it llvy h.ivo
;lo go in (iehl ;tr il, cver thing is
stuping up nu-ely for both parties
except Ihe c.-tnilul.ites end the is
sues. Here lhe re in a ipi.iinlaiy.
The Ki'puhlu iov.; all hone Mr, Ki
senhower will run ne.oin. The lien
octals hope he woo l. There is a
Republican notion floating around
that even if President Eisenhower
decides not to run again making
his formal announcement about a
year from now there will be
lime to build up a now candidate.
The GOP experience in building
up Wendell Wilkie in 1910 is cited
as a precedent.
The Democrats may have to do
this, regardless. It is agreed that
even if ex-Gov. Adlai Stevenson
of Illinois wants to be renominat
ed, he will have to get out and
work for it this time, lie can't sit
hack and wait to be drafted. Oilier
hopefuls will be in there battling.
Until the platforms are adopted
at the conventions, the national
records of the two parties are
made by their representations in
Congress. The Republicans will
run on yie Eisenhower record.
Democrats, it now appears, will
have to run on an opjio.sition rec
ord that is now being written by
Mr. Sam and Co. It is slid pretty
fuzzy, but is shaping up around
these seven essential elements:

deductions and credit on
Peoria Gets
Perfumed Air
PEORIA, III. (UP) A truck
sprayed a heavy aroma of per
fume across the south side of
Peoria.
A 55 - gallon barrel of perfumed
oil developed a leak while being
transported to a loading dork.
Scented oil drained out on sU'cets
all along the route and at the
dock when the truck parked.
Some men scooped up the per
fume oil from a big puddle that
formed at the loading dock. It
was worth $100 a pound.

Brushings
If you think I stayed on my diet
last weekend, when the Oregon
Press Women had their spring con
ference in Salem, you have anoth
er think coming.
There was one dessert, in par
ticular, thut I have to tell you
about. It was a meringue pie, final
course lor luncheon at the new
Upman-Wolfe tea room.
If there's anything richer than a
meringue pie, I d like to know
what it is. In this particular case,
the chef was determined to deliver
the maximum number of calories,
and he went about it most cannily,
I can tell you.
He (the chef, that is) started out
with a meringue pic shell (or with
several dozen meringue pie shells,
to be exact) and that in Itself
should have been good for several
hours of overtime. The meringue
pie shell is a delicacy in itself.
But what do you think went in
next? A layer of -sweetened, fla-!
vored whipped cream! That was
what put this pie in a class by
itself. On the top of the cream
was a thick layer of tangy lemon
filling. Then on the very top, more
whipped cream. You could scrape
off the cream on top, but there was
no way of removing the cream on
the bottom. Not being able to de
cide whether to eat the filling and
leave the crust, or to scrape out
the filling and eat the crust, I de
cided it was simpler and tidier to
eat the whole thing, including
BOTH layers of whipped cream.
Who would want the chef to think
that his
naught?
efforts were all for
dividend.
2. Increase minimum wage
above the GOP 90 cent figure.
3. More direct federal aid for
school construction.
4. More direct federal aid for
highway construction.
5. A larger defense budget based
on military needs and not on a pre
de t e r m i n e d financial budg
et ceiling.
6. Pumping around $2 billion
more federal spending into the
economy to increase employment.
7. Raise support prices on basic
crops to 00 per cent of parity.
'Baby Tornado'
Hits Ontario
ONTARIO, Ore. (UP) A "baby
tornado struck Ontario about
10:30 a.m. Tuesday, breaking and
cracking windows, toppling trees
and a cinder-block wall and start
ing automobiles to rolling.
The winds, which hit the main
part of the city, reached a velocity
estimated unofficially at between
SO and 95 miles an hour. The blow
lasted only about 15 or 20 seconds.
No one was injured.
There was no official estimate of
damage but city officials said it
appeared to be light. The cinder
block wall which was toppled was
port of a new construction.
Tho brief wind whipped up dust
which blackened the skies over
Nyssa to the south but no unusual
ly heavy ground wind was report
ed there. The Ontario airport also
escaped the main force of the
wind.
Dinner Saturday night at the
Senator Hotel wag as lavish h
smorgasbord as you're apt to see,
I felt very smug in passing up
cream pie for a second piece of
prime rib beef roast, au jus. (Yes.
a thick slice, if you please.) High
protein, you know.
Now that I've seen pink shut
ters, I'll never be satisfied until
I have some just like them to cov
er up the picture windows.
It's very smart to have a whole
wall of windows, and cover it up
with inside shutters that are noth
ing in the world but little panel
doors with louvers that remind
you of tiny Venetian blinds. You
can't see out, of course, but tan
talizing shafts of light shoot in
through the slots in the panels.
These shutters would be just tho
thing for Calico Farm, where we
huddle like moles behind our
drawn shades, watching television.
(If vou want to know where 1
saw the shutters, you don't have to
send me a self-addressed postcard
I'll tell you right now, for free.
They're in the tea room at the
Salem Lipman-Wolfe store, same
place I encountered the meringue
pie.)
Bend holds something of a rec
