Choose the career? Or try to have both? Pretty 19-year-old Jacque Mercer, our current "Miss America," had that decision to make re cently and Jacque chose both, when she married Douglas Cook. Says she: "Right now there is no reason why I can't have marriage and a career together. "I am fulfilling all my Miss America commitments. My hus band is doing advertising work in Phoenix. In September my reign will be over and we plan to settle down in Hollywood where Doug will enter art school." I '$iSkk Kg&L HP Jacque Mercer . . . "Miss America" believes in marry ing young. Linn Resident Recalls Lincoln Pat Upon Head Albany A pat on the head from Abraham Lincoln in about 1860 is the highlight of childhood memories for Mrs. Emma Denny, 95-year-old great-great grand mother, whose birthday, like the great emancipator's, falls on Feb 12. Mrs. Denny, now living with her daughter, Mrs. E. G. Harris, on the Oakville road, seven miles from Albany, still recalls when Lincoln walked in the door at her parents' farm home at Nebo, 111., where he was a frequent visitor, beamed and said "This is my little Dolly" and patted her on the head. Mrs. Denny was four or five years old, she re calls, when she met Lincoln. "He never forgot that my birthday was on the same day as his." "When he got elected, I really thought I was something, know ing the president of the United States," she said. Mrs. Denny has been living with her daughter for four years, Previously she had lived in Cor- vallis. She moved from Illinois when she was 12 years old and settled with hor family in Kan shs and Inter in Missouri. She moved to Oregon with her hus band in 1912 from near Walla Walla, Wash. Mr. Denny died In Corvallis in 1912. A son, Dimner Denny, Van couver, Wash., and a daughter, Mrs. T. M. Davis, Portland, came down to the Harris farm Sunday to celebrate with Mrs. Denny on her 95th birthday. Jacque will continue her ca reer even then for a while, if she chooses. But eventually aft cr they get settled they'd like to rear a family at least four children is the plan. Says she: "A lot of people argue about young marriages. What's wrong with marrying young? "Lots of couples attending col lege as man and wife get better grades than the unmarried ones, I hear. My parents were mar ried while they were attending college and finished the last three years together." Of course this doesn't mean that you should say "yes" to the first boy you ever date, cau tions Jacque. She thinks it s fine to marry young, but only "after a steady dating period," which Jacque says is the time when you learn the other person's habits, ambi tions and even what he looks like "washing the family car." Says she: "After marriage two people should sit down and make their plans carefully. I like to sew and Doug is artistic, so we plan to make many things for our home to give It that personal touch, and to work and build it together." Garden Club Keeps Officers at Turner Turner Mrs. E.

My name is important! h's the only way people can tell who I am and who I belong to." Tommy is right! Names are important to people. And they're just as important to things you buy in stores. Each product hat a name, too ... a brand name! That's the name the maker puts on his product, so yon can tell k from any other. Shopping for products by brand names is the one way the only way you can bwy the food, the clothing, and the furniture that exactly nits your taste. The brand name on a proditet meant protection for yon. By knowing brand names, you make the manufacturer responsible for the quality of products that bear his name. Any manufacturer knows that if you find hts products good, you will buy them. If not, you won't and the manufacturer wiH be forced out of business. Brand names mean progress. Each manufacturer works con stantly to improve his product so that his brand name will come to stand for better and better quality and value. You get quality, protection , . , and you get exactly what you twini when you know, and use, brand names. You'll find some of the most famous brand names on the pages of this newspaper.

Dallas Gets Fifth Precinct To Help Election Machinery Dallas Because this city has grown to the place where the county court found it necessary to create a fifth voting precinct to facilitate election machinery, the city fathers have another major problem on their hands. Addition of the extra precinct upsets the city's ward system and number of councilmen, as pro- vided in the charter. In the past, two councilmen have been elected to represent each of the four wards, and one councilman was chosen at large, making a governing body of nine men and the mayor. Ward boundaries correspond to pre cinct lines. Now, with the addition of the fifth precinct, the city apparent ly has four alternatives, none of which is considered especially desirable. 1. Another ward may be add ed to the city plan and two more councilmen added. 2. The city may abandon the wards altogether and elect nine councilmen at large. 3. The election board for pre cinct 5 (central part of the south side of town) might split the vote cast, those living west of Main going into ward three and those east of Main going to ward four. 4. The city might conform to the five precincts and reduce the number of councilmen to one from each ward, plus the 1 VTrrr i" ",lr irn1rn'! IT PAYS TO CHANGE TO r Enrjim hull ytt&& At your L At your SAFEWAY STORE one (or more) councilmen at large. Most of the city fathers be lieve that the council is big en ough and no more members should be added. However, it would be very difficult for pre cinct five election boards to handle a split city vote for wards three and four. At the recent city council meeting, the matter was dis cussed and turned over to May, or Hollis Smith and City Attor ney C. L. Marsters for study and recommendation. Action must be taken soon because it may be necessary to approve a charter amendment to make the change tr conform to new arrangement. Councilmen are not voted upon a the primaries and the amend ment might be made at that time. All Dallas precincts are over loaded with voters, especially ward three where the board worked all night and well into the next day to complete its count at the last general elec tion. This was the reason , for adding the fifth precinct. Four councilmen are ending their terms this year. They are Dr. Wm. A. Ott (1), J. R. All good (2), Cecil Dunn (3), and V. O. Williams (4). Strangely enough, of the present nine councilmen, three live in new precinct five. 'They are Dunn, Williams and Walter Craven of ward 4.

Capital Drug Store State & Liberty "On the Corner" Admiral Praises Chinese Pilots Chiayi, Formosa, Feb. 15 U. Adm. Charles M. Cooke, Jr., former commander of U. S nav al forces in the western Pacific, told Chinese nationalist airmen today that their air offensive against the Chinese communists "will be recorded in history for hundreds of years to come " The admiral, now retired, spoke at an air base here at the invitation of Madame Chiang Kai-shek, who is touring mili tary installations and hospitals on the island of Formosa. Addressing the officers and men who recently stepped up nationalist raids on docks pow er plants and other installations in Shanghai and other points on the communist - held Chinese mainland, Cooke said their mor ale is "better than I expected." "Now is the most critical time," he said. "Your work will be recorded in history for hun dreds of years to come."$ Madame Chiang told the air men that Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek is gratified with their accomplishments and she herself is proud of them. Speaking at a dinner given in her honor by the mayor of Chiayi, Madame Chiang said she was confident the people of For mosa will resist Russian and Chinese communist aggression with the spirit of their forebears, who fought against the Dutch and the Manchus. "We must preserve our na tion and our race," she said. All humming birds are natives of America, not originating in the eastern hemisphere. INCOME TAX Returns Prepared LEON A.
