Jacksonville There was an "earnest discussion" of the pro posed new charter for the city of Jacksonville at a public hear ing here Friday evening, accord-' in to City Councilman H. L. Markwith. A city-wide vote on the pro posed charter will be conducted Tuesday. Voting will be at the city hall, with the polls open from noon to 7 p.m. Voters present were interest ed in why the positions of re corder and treasurer should be appointive instead of elective, he said. Ervin Hogan, city at torney, explained that since their duties are not policy-making, and because they require technical qualifications which voters are not in a position to judge, the League of Oregon Cities has recommended the council select persons with pro per qualifications for these posi tions. May Ask Later Vote Another clause which was dis cussed was the requiring that a candidate for councilman be a qualified voter with 12 months residence in the city. Some p res sent felt that an added require ment that they be property-owners in the city should be added, Markwith reported. This phase was discussed at some length, the councilman said, and it was tentatively de cided that this would be sub mitted to the voters at the Nov ember election if the new char ter is adopted otherwise. He said there was no disagree ment with increasing the coun cil to six members plus the may or, nor with giving the mayor a vote. He now votes only in case of tie votes. Heavy Vote Seen Markwith said it is expected that there will be a large vote .Tuesday, due to the amount of I , a , xi i . rm micrcsL in uic cnaricr. ine pres ent charter was adopted in 1911 and has been amended many times. All these changes , have not been made clear, casting j some doubt on what is contained in the present charter, ne aaaea. The new charter is "only the first step" in a campaign to bring the records of the city of Jacksonville up to date, he stated. 'Motherless Youth1 Found To Be AVOL Oregon Soldier Oklahoma City, Okla. OJJS J they Investigated and discovered A boy, 17, who won the sym pathy of many residents here as a motherless youth in search of his long-lost father, was iden tified r Saturday as an AWOL paratrooper with a wild imagin ation. The youth, who had told everyone he was Roy Edwards, was identified as Milton Mowdy by his mother, who is very much alive in Coburg, Ore. Mother Saw Picture After his mother saw his pic ture in an Oregon newspaper and contacted authorities here, As We Live GRUMBLERS SUCCEED ONLY Of BECOMING DISUSED Some people grumble most of the time, others only occasion ally. But few of us are com pletely free from this disa greeable trait Whether It's the weather, how the gov ernment is run or the state of the grumbler's health, he picks out the flaws and Dr. Huzlock dwells on them. Why do people grumble? What satisfaction do they get? Surely continual complaints are not pleasant for other people to listen to, nor do they help a per son to be liked! Back of all grumbling are two common characteristics. One is the desire for attention. The person who grumbles often dis covers' that it gets him an audi ence. The other is feeling of inferiority. If the grumbler can point out flaws in other people or things, it gives a boost to his own ego. Like all behavior traits, grum bling can and often does develop into a deep-seated habit The re- s V J - ?.f&&w Fa he bought her a lot in . . .

By the time he is old he is so disagreeable no one wants to have him around. The best way to check the grumbling habit before it takes a real hold on you is to convince yourself that this is no way to win friends. Once you desire to stop grumbling, it will be easier for you to do so. Your second step is to try to find something nice to say. There is good in everyone and everything if you will look for it. Say pleasant, things and you will be surprised at how much better the world will look to you. And, finally, ask your family and best friends to remind you when they hear you start to grumble. You may have been grumbling for so long that you do not realize you are doing it LETTERS FROM READERS: Unstable People: "One hoars so much today about unstable people. What makes people un stable?" (A) There have always been unstable people, but there are unquestionably more today than there have been in the past This is due primarily to the fact that modern living produces greater feelings of insecurity. We are far less certain of how things will be tomorrow than past genera tions were. Most people learn to take this uncertainty in a philo sophical manner. They cross each bridge as they come to it Others allow uncertainty to up set them, and this is primarily responsible for their instability. Trailer Living: "Is It wise for young married people with chil dren to live in a trailer rather than in a house?" (A) Unless the husband's work requires him to travel, I cannot see any reason for living in a trailer unless it is for the sake of economy. A trailer costs less than a house, but it rarely has as much room or as many con veniences. Children are forced to live in very cramped quarters with practically no play space, For a summer - holiday trailer- living is all right for a family with children, but for year- round living it offers few of the advantages of a house. Sister-In-Law: "My husband's sister is a busybody. How friend ly should I be with her?" (A) If you live near her and if she and your husband are very close, try to keep on friendly terms even if she annoys you with her interference. If, on the other hand she is not on espe cially friendly terms with your husband, there is no reason xor you to go out of your way to cultivate her friendship. Be friendly when you meet but see that your paths cross as lit tle as possible. (Copyright 1953.

R. ADAMSON, , Dist. Manager -reOST-HearlBsAlde. Has -Apt, Mowdy , was absent without leave .from Ft Campbell, Ky. He was turned over to military police at Tinker Air Force base. Mowdy's heart-rending story came to the attention of news papers and radio stations here Wednesday after police found on the courthouse steps, an ap parent victim of amnesia. Later, however, he said his amnesia story was a sham but he made up a bigger story in its place. Told Sad Story Identifying himself as Roy Edwards, he said his mother had been killed in an auto crash and he came here to look for his fa ther, who had deserted the fam ily 15 years ago. His plight was printed and broadcast. Marty persons offered to adopt him, even high school coaches want ed to put the 185-pound boy in school and make a football play er out of him. - Newspaper photographers had his picture, one of which showed in a Eugene, Ore., paper. That's when his mother, Mrs. Marie Lanini, wife of a farmer, put an end to the masquerade.

Rhoton, released from a Communist prison camp Saturday, is coming home to a tragedy-haunted family. His father died last week of lung cancer? His mother is criti cally iH, recovering in a hospital from serious surgery. The fam ily faces financial ruin from deaths, disease and drought Thank God He's Safe" Mrs. George B. Rhoton . said "thank God he's safe" when she learned that her son was free. She said she doubted if he knew that his father was dead. In Korea, the Army indicated Rhoton would be flown home as soon as possible. Awaiting him were his moth er, sister and brother. During the last year they have weath ered three consecutive crop fail ures due to drought on their farm near Longview, Tex. When the father died, they had already sold and borrowed all they could to pay for medical expenses and keep the farm go ing. But good neighbors from as far as the West Coast were com ing to Rhoton's aid Saturday. The family's plight was pub licized a week ago. Since then there has been a wave of cash gifts, mainly from West Texas. The Roton, Tex., bank started a fund for the family and it grew almost immediately to more than $1,000. Neighbors went into the Rhoton fields to work and see if any crops could be salvaged. It all helped cheer lbs. She ton. But she still wanted to see her soldier son. Now that he's coming home, she said, "things may work out all right" SANSON'S FEED PRICES Watch tor this ad each Sunday for Samson's money-saving feed price Grd. iarley Grd. Oats and Barley Ro.
