' New Subdivision i Will Be Opened Southwest of City A 75-home tract is being open ed Just southwest of the Medford ' city limits today by D. A. Parker, he announced Saturday. The development is expected to involve some $750,000 in new home construction, Parker said. The tract, being developed "as Westside Heights subdivision, is located west of Plum street and north of Stewart avenue. Work men started cutting an extension of Winchester street through the tract Thursday, and construction of the first houses will get under way tomorrow, Parker said. Homes to' be built in the 21 acre subdivision will range in price from $9,000 upwards and will be of two and three-bedroom size, the builder said. He stated that purchasers may furnish their own plans or could take advantage of a variety of plans which he will have available. The homes will be sold under FHA terms and will be processed . through the Mark Goldy'agency here. Paved streets and concrete sidewalks will be extended into the tract and homes will be con f structed on Murray, Winchester and Mt. Fitt streets and on Stew art avenue. City water and sant tary . sewer facilities will also be extended into the area. Annexation Planned Plans call for annexation of the Westside Heights subdivision by the city as soon as prelim' inary work can be completed. Annexation of the tract recently was recommended by the city planning commission. The new, tract, one of the largest ever developed here, Is the third major development un dertaken by Parker during five years in the construction busi ness in the Medford area. Selection of the site for the development was based on sev eral factors, Parker stated. He stated that these include near ness to schools, grocery stores and service stations, and the large number of fruit trees in the area will bff- left around the homes when possible.

As We Live HAPPINESS IS UP TO YOU HERE'S WHAT TO DO ABOUT ITI - . Happiness lies In your own hands. If you are unhappy, you have no one to blame but your self. You are not the only person in the world who has .trials- and trib ulations, nor has fate dealt you a harder blow than oth ers get. How you meet your mis fortunes will Dr. Huxleek depend upon your whole atti tude toward life. If, when you were young, you were shielded and protected from all of life's unpleasantnesses by well-meaning but misguided parents, of course it is hard for you to take things in your stride as others do. But, it is not too late to learn now. Then, too, your happiness de pends upon your ability to fit yourself into the right hole for you. A person who suffers from the delusion that he can do and be anything he wishes will face unhappiness. If you -will see yourself as you really are, if you will be willing to stay in the niche in which you belong, and if you will be satisfied with it even if it is not as glamorous as you would like, you will be con tented. Otherwise, you will be unhappy. Ways To Happiness Here are some ways you can make yourself into a happy, con tented person: 1. See yourself as you really are, not as you would like to be, Take off the rose-tinted glasses you have been wearing and look at yourself honestly. 2. Accept yourself as you are and don't bemoan the fact that you are not-what you like to be. Of course there are people In the world who are handsomer and brighter than you, but you have your good points if you will only look for them. And, don't over look the fact that the people, you envy may be worse off than you, even though you can't see their misfortunes. 3. Make a point to laugh and smile. Just going through the acts of being happy will go a long way toward making you happy. It is hard to be sad and depressed when you have a smile on your face. 4. Think and talk about cheer ful things. The crepe-hanger is sure to talk himself into a state of depression because he exag erates his misfortunes out of all proportions.

One girl starts the ball rolling and, before you know it, the ball has turned into a snowball. The rojnance and glamour of a wed ding, with all the parties that precede it and all the excitement of getting new clothes and fur nishing a new home, make many young girls feel that they are cheated if it doesn't happen to them too. So, with this thought in mind, they are ready to ac cept the first man who proposes to them. This is dangerous, like all epidemics, because the de cision is based on emotions r a til er than logical thinking. Bickering: "Our whole family bickers. The children argue back and forth until I think I will go craiy and my husband makes things worse by joining in. How can I put a stop to this constant bickering?" (A) The only way you can have peace and harmony in your home is to forbid all bickering inside the house. If the members of your family want to bicker, tell them they must go outside. This holds for your husband as well as for your children. When they start to argue, and you see that tempers are getting hot, put an instant stop to the arguments by sending each offender to his room. If your husband refuses to cooperate, refuse to cooperate in the running of your home. Don't prepare meals, let the clothes say dirty and the beds unmade. A wife is entitled to peace in her home and this you should demand. Exaggerations: "My 10 year old son exaggerates so much that I never know when he is telling the truth. He has no reason to exaggerate because I am not strict with him and do not pun ish him unless it is necessarv." (A) Exaggeration is giving your son a teeling of importance and is making people sit up and take notice of him. In that way, it is filling his need for self-as sertion and that is his reason for exaggerating. Try to fill this need in more wholesome ways. Praise him for what he does, and be appreciative of his of. forts. He will then not feel the need for bidding for your atten tion as ne now does.

Washington (U.R) One of the) best loved, and most feared, wivnpn In Washington is Caro lyn H a g n e r Shaw. She Is the pretty, slender pub lisher of the famous lit tle green suede book called ..The social :T . I List of Wash KWl ington, D.C." The latest Harmon Nichoto edition of the book won t come out until early fall. A lot of- the current wheels by that time will have become small spokes, but Mrs. Shaw has all that figured out. She plans to put out a supplement after the elections. The supplement will be published In February. All Mrs. Shaw has done so far Is to send out questionnaires to social biggies. Her annual little book carries the names of 4,000 society folks in the Washington area. Some will remain and some will be dropped in the new edition. Johnnie Ray Tells Of Plans To Wed In N.Y. on May 25 Cincinnati (U.R) Johnnie Ray, the singing idol of the bobby-soxers, announced that he will marry Marilyn Morrison in New York on Sunday, May 25. "She's the first girl who ever made me feel like a man," the singer said in announcing his wedding plans. Straightened Him Out "I think she is the prettiest girl in the worldbut she's more than that," Ray said. "She's so down-to-earth and sensible. She's really straightened me out." . Ray said that he was a "real shy guy" until he met Miss Mor rison, 22-year-old brunet in Hol lywood five months ago. Singer Confused The singer said that all of his success had confused and frightened him until he met Miss Morrison. He. added, however, that he had been able to court his bride-to-be as quietly as most persons do, Ray said that the couple hope to have a large' family. "We want to start having children right away," he said. "The more, the merrier." An oil well being drilled in Stone county, Mississippi, has reached 20,325 feet and is still drilling. And how do you get Into the book? Mrs. Shaw, who can trace her family tree back to the George Washington era, says to have her life she doesn't know. "We have a board of gover nors," she told me. "Five wom en and one man. Thoy decide who will go onto the list and who will be knocked off. I have noth ing to do with it." The board Is strictly secret Nobody knows the members; no body ever will, she said. Must Be "Somebody" You get on the book list if you are "somebody" In Washington and you stay- on if you behave yourself and hold your fork right and stand upright at cocktail parties. The final decision is up to the board. A lot of fancy names have been rubbed from the list for various infractions. There was a to-do a few years ago when one of the president's aides was rubbed out, and also when a prominent columnist was cut off the list. "I don't know how those things happen," Mrs. Shaw said. "You'll have to ask the board." Sunday.
