LOVE OR CAREER FOR TEEN-AGER?
What's the Matter Marrying
Young? Asks Miss America
By VIVIAN BROWN
(AP NeiAIeturei)
What would you do If you were crowned "Miss America," had
glamorous career ahead of you but you were in love?
Would you marry the boy? 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."

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

My name is
Tommy Thompson!
"1 know nvf own name. My mother and daddy tanght me so I
could feeti people. 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

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.

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.
