Family Specialist Says Boys Expert On Many Subjects Do you appreciate the expert in your family? Because If you have a young son, with a boy's normal interests and curiosity, you probably have an expert. For instance, can you tell one make of car from another with out reading the name plate? Does the shape of a Convair air liner seem different than that of a modernized DC-3? Do you know the names of all the streets in your section of town? Probably not. But according to Tom Poffenberger, it's very likely that any ten-year-old boy does know the answers. Mr. Poffenberger is extension family life specialist at Oregon State college. Te explains that children are often experts in identifying things around them. In fact, they would have made much better tlane spotters during World War II than most adults who were on the job. Little boys usually know the names and rec ords of ball players aooui as well as the sports writers do. And as for movie stars well, lust try them out. Maybe this sort of informa tion doesn't seem very .import ant to you. But it is to the kids, th familv life specialist says. And we grownups would do well ehnw our aoDreciation for their areas of expertness. Many a famous scientist has, as a child, been in the ranks of these experts. Whether or not your child expert becomes fam ous later, his Knowledge ae prvps vour recognition and praise, the expert says. In six years, the Federal gov ernment has taken from the American people more money than all the domestic taxes our government levied in the prev ious 156 years. , New Easy-Blooming Variety!

We're glad we came home from our vacation Sunday morn ing instead of Monday morning. Being a gardener (although a somewhat erratic one) the first thing we do when returning home is to take a stroll through the yard. Sunday morning it looked pretty good lots of weeds, but quite a few flowers in bloom and our pet fuchsias looking fine, thanks to the ef forts of the head-of-the-house-hold during our absence. A few hours later it was a different story. The family acre felt the full fury of the storm which swept the valley Sunday evening with the result that hardly a flower, bush or vege table escaped without damage. Tuberous begonias were flatten ed to the ground and the leaves shredded, the flowering tips of the fuchsias were broken and battered and michaelmas dais ies, chrysanthemums and other plants with buds forming were also broken off. The ground was covered with walnuts beaten from the trees by the large hail stones, tomatoes and cucumbers suffered heavily and the trea sured rows of corn just begin ning to bear delicious yellow ears were leveled to the ground. Wonder how the residents of areas whre such storms are fairly common ever get up enough courage to plant a crop or garden. Our trip to visit relatives in Centralis, though it turned out to be a sad one, was not without interest. Due to the fact that a sister runs a book store, we heard much about the revised standard version of the Bible which is due to go on sale Sep tember 30. In Centralia many churches are planning to hold special meetings that night to observe the event and to encour age purchase and use of the new Bibles. We read for a time in a copy of the New Testament, finding it considerably simplified and this particular copy most easy to read because of the type and printing. A pamphlet put out by Thom as Nelson and Sons in New York, publishers of Bibles and religious literature, gave much interesting information about Bible translations. According to the pamphlet, "The first Eng lish version of the scriptures was John Wycliffe's translation from the Latin V.ulgate, com pleted about 1380. The first English version to be made by translation from the original He brew and Greek, and the first to be printed, was the work of William Tyndale, from 1524 to his martyrdom in 1536. It was followed by a succession of ver sions, notably those of Cover dale, 1535; The Great Bible, 1539; Geneva, 1560; The Bish op's Bible, 1568. In 1582 a trans lation of the New Testament, made from the Latin Vulgate by Roman Catholic scholars, was published at Rheims. The trans lators of the King James Ver sions took into account all of these preceding versions, and comparison shows that it owes something to each.

The term 'authorized' has been ap plied to it as though it were the only 'authorized' Bible, or even as though this version had some special divine authorization which it does not share with other translations of the Word of God. The term simply means, of course, that it was officially rec ognized for use in public wor ship 'appointed to be read in churches.' "As a result of the discovery of manuscripts of the New Tes tament more ancient than those used by the translators in 1611, together with a marked develop ment in Biblical studies, a de mand for revision of the King James Bible arose in the middle 19th century. In 1870 the Con vocation of Canterbury author ized a revision and organized a committee of British scholars to undertake it. With this commit tee was associated by corres pondence a committee of Ameri can scholars organized a year later. "The English Revised Version of the Bible was published 1881 1885 with an appendix contain ing recommendations of the Am erican committee which had not been approved by the British committee. In 1901, at the ex piration of an agreed period, the American Standard Version was published, embodying those recommendations and printing in an appendix the British read ing which they replaced. "In 1937 a comprehensive re vision of the American Standard Version of the Bible was author ized by the council (Internation al Council of Religious Educa tion)." The version now being pub lished has also been authorized by the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the USA and is being eagerly awaited by church members and workers and Bible scholars. Another topic of conversation was the so-called "Koch treat ment" of which we had never heard. We gathered that the Koch treatment is now being used by various physicians in several sections of the country and as is usual with anything which promises a cure for some of the worst of our diseases, is being lauded by some and damn ed by others. From what we heard, the "treatment" consists of shots of some mysterious medicine which is said to have marvelous curative powers, and a diet. Some persons tell of magic cures, while others de clared the treatment had brought no results. o We learned another fact one very old and still new to some; the simple fact that in time of need, relatives and friends do rally around and that it is a mighty comforting thing. No sooner had the word spread of the sudden death in our family than the offers of help began to pour in. Neighbors came to do the necessary telephoning and errand-running;, they sent flow ers and kindly messages, broifght food and helped to cook and serve it. Some left work or vacations and drove long dis tances to be on hand in the event they would be needed, and to be present for the fun eral. The world would certainly be a dreary place indeed with out love and friendship such as one finds in times like these. o An aunt who came to visit be cause of the emergency com mented one day that women cer tainly were getting more and more casual about what they wore while traveling. She point ed out that years ago (she is near 80) women didn't go on journeys without proper wraps, hats, luggage, etc., and she sigh ed over the fact that so many young women and girls will start off practically anywhere downtown or across the state, wearing jeans and with their hair in pin curls. We were reminded of this while en route home by Grey hound. We saw during the eve ning and night's journey three women wearing bedroom slip pers instead of shoes, and one, who said she had been traveling all day, wore bedroom slippers, blue jeans and a terry cloth tee shirt topped by an elaborate upswept hair-do. She got off the bus, yawned, groaned, stretched and declared in a loud voice "I hope I have more sense than to ever leave home again." One of our traveling compan ions surveyed the array of rumpled pedal pushers, sleazy slacks and other costumes worn by women on the bus and re marked scornfully "No wonder our boys come home from abroad with foreign brides when American women look like that!" She herself, pretty and at-! tractive in a neat grey summer suit with immaculate white hat, ; gloves, snoes ana purse, was en route south to meet her soldier husband Just returning from Korea. During the evening this tra veler, who lives in Tacoma, said that when she returned home I she thought she would advertise I her new television set for sale. "There's hardly a television pro gram to be seen in Tacoma that is worth my time," she said. "When I get , home from work the children's programs, which even my niece and nephew rea lize are stupid, are on the air. Later there's wrestling, which I abhor, or boxing, which I de test, or baseball, in which I'm not the slightest interested, or re-showings of movies which were made before I was born." o After our return home we had a pleasant visit with Howard C. Beeler, district passenger agent for Greyhound stationed in Med ford. Mr. Beeler wanted to know what prompted Potpourri's out burst in a past column, and so wo poured out our tale of woe. The two of us decided at last that the reason travelers have trouble in getting correct infor mation is caused partly by new and only partially trained em ployees, partly by the fact that the Greyhound line is actually 21 different companies, and partly from the fact that the schedules, fare rates, etc., are complicated and difficult to learn and explain to travelers. The second reason probably explained why one young wom an in the Portland bus depot flatly told us that Greyhound no longer took reservations, and why a week later another em ployee accepted a reservation request without question. Seems that Pacific Greyhound lines op erate in Oregon Northwest Greyhound lines in Washington. One takes reservations, the oth er doesn't, or something like that. Confusing? Oh no, not at all! We did praise Greyhound drivers, however. The driver in charge from Portland to Eugene had our undying sympathy. Not only did he have to cope with two tire blowouts the second one which finally put the bus completely out of operation, oc curring only' two blocks from the depot in Eugene, but he had to carry in and out of the bus a man who was totally unable to walk and who was complet ing a 2,000 mile trip by bus. Through all this trouble the driver remained polite and cour teous and only looked a little beaten when the mechanic, sum moned to change the tires, swore when he found that the driver had left the air-conditioner fans, which were hooked to the battery, running all the time the bus was out of commis sion.

That's what she wants and that's precisely what the industry a yruaucing, a lour of exhibit The requirement for more utility and value per square foot of furniture has inspired de signers and manufacturers to new heights in creating multi purpose, flexible units. No longer considered "gimmicks," multi purpose pieces play an important part in filling the requirements of small-space living. High-low tables, cabinet pieces that conveniently conceal exten sion tables, pull-out writing sur faces, trim and comfortable lounge chairs that open into beds, headboards that contain useful storage space such pieces are now well-designed and honestly useful, unlike the "patent" furni ture of bygone years. Similarly, the consistently growing space problem and the trend to better utilization of floor area has heightened the demand for pieces that will serve as room dividers. As a result, man ufacturers are showing new chests and other case pieces with backs finished to facilitate out-in-the-room arrangement. Many are designed with openings on both sides in order to make their contents accessible either to the dining or living area. Such pieces may also be used in a bedroom where a study or tele vision corner is divided from the sleeping area. The much talked about trend to more coordination of furni ture lines and accessory group ings continues to gain headway. There has been a definite swing away from suites, as in the past, to the coordinated group. Case pieces for the living room, bed room and dining room are inter changable. Lighter weight upholstered pieces, many with tight seats and foam rubber cushions con tinue to gain in importance as easily moved and mobile furni ture contribute to convenience in television room arrangement. Temporary seating pieces and stacking pieces and stacking ta bles and chairs are high on the list of popular items. THIS NAME Over 90 years of roofus "know how" bohno rnemf USE THE BEST! LININGER'S READY-MIX EH Sunday, August 10, 1952 spaces discloses American living continues to move in the direction of infor mality and manufacturers are supplying more and better de signs to fill-the ever-increasing demand for casual furniture. Pro vincial styles of both American and French inspiration continue to show their aptitude for pro ducing a comfortable and casual environment. Graceful lines and warm natural wood tones, char acteristic of Provincial styles, are evident this year both in traditional and modern lines. Modern lines are showing a number of new directions with influence both from the Far East and our own early Ameri can styles. The use of cane, rush and other woven materials in combination with wood and metal, is evident in both indoor and outdoor furniture lines. The ,look of raw silk, the tawny colors of dried grasses, the delineation of black iron and the flash of brilliant color this is the palette of the new Pacific trend found as a background for modern living. Black and white, plus color, becomes more at tractive as designers and decor ators apply it with interest and inspiration. Natural textures, the contra dictory look of luxury weaves in raw, rough fibers, the continued popularity of tweeds and woven iextures all of this and more in exciting combinations of syn thetic and natural fibers are found in the summer fabric market.
