TWELVE MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Wednesday. December 29. 1934 Police Cruisers Give Smugglers Hard Time Oslo (U.R Three new police ..raisers have been - stationed in the mouth of the Oslo fjord to give alcohol smugglers a hard time. ,The number of smugglers profiteering highly on the sky rocketing prices oh all kinds of wine and brandy in Norway has increased heavily during re cent months, police claim. Only a small percentage of ' the smugglers have been caught, owing to the modern methods they are using and the old-fashioned methods employed by cus toms and police officials. Now, this is being changed. Jhe water police force is slowly but surely catching up with the law breakers, even if the im provement does not come with the speed they could wish. Lack of funds is still a handicap. Sources here, who do not want to be identified, claim that an increasing number of Dutch and West German freight vessels engage in the smuggling in Scandinavian waters. - From these vessels, watertight containers filled with alcohol are dropped in the Norwegian fjords it is claimed. They are fished out later by the Norwe gian contacts of the foreigners. The alcohol, is believed to come mostly from Baltic ports behind the Iron Curtain. The smuggling of alcohol into Norway , has taken such propor tions, recent statistics show, that court of justice actions against smugglers this year show the highest number since 1927, the last year of the prohibition pe riod in Norway. Traverse City, Mich. (U.R) William Grant was drinking cof fee with friends before leaving a friend's house to go deer hunt ing. Glancing out of the window, Grant saw a large buck grazing in the backyard. He bagged it. Shot at Pheasant Fells Two Others Hillsdale, Mich. (U.R) Charles Rosetti tip-toed back into his kitchen and grabbed his shotgun after he walked out on his back porch and spotted a plump pheasant perched atop a trash pile. He stepped quietly back onto the porch and fired a blast at the bird. The pheasant, hit by a charge, fell off the trash pile and lay dead. When Rosetti approached, a second pheasant that had been hit by the pellets tried to fly away but fell to the ground. While walking back to the porch with the two birds, Rosetti saw a third pheasant, also wounded, scamper through the brush and disappear. "I hated to leave a wounded bird," Rosetti said. 'But I had my two anyhow.' " Dead line tor Sunday Classified is at noon Saturday , . Stretch your Dollars till the end of '54 By shopping OK where your Dollars buy more!

Yet Americans have lost a "na tive or cultural wisdom" in their family affairs; they now find it hard to decide what is right and what is wrong in fam ily relations. This is the opinion of Dr. John P. Spiegel, social relations scientist of Harvard, who added that the "scientific specialist" isn't being of much help when people turn to him for help, which they do naturally, since this is "a nation impressed with the benefits of science.", ; "For example." he said, "mothers are likely to be warned by one group of experts to avoid rejecting their chil dren, to be warm, loving and permissive toward their needs. But they are frequently warned by another group," representing the love-is-not-enough school of thought, that they must be firm and consistent in setting limits for the child. The distracted mother is then hard-pressed to determine the dividing line be tween rejecting -her child and setting limits for him, and is apt to feel guilty no matter what she does." '. German Comparison , Not that there is ! anjibing wrong with the conceptions rep resented by, such phrases as "emotional maturity" and "inter-personal security;" indeed, they're most scientific, he con tinued. The trouble is .that the basis for judging between ma turity and immaturity . and se curity and insecurity is a mat ter for each individual to decide for. himself. ,"Even the ,most impartial observer therefore can invade the judgment of ap propriateness. - "It is . well known that the role of the German, hausfrau is unlike that of the modern Amer ican career . wife and is judged by different standards,", he said. "But this general insight can be. transformed into a scientific proposition if the values gov erning the various roles in the family are singled out and then compared for compatibility or incompatibility." . This would not -decide "that the German hausfrau is 'right' and therefore 'emotionally ma ture' . in her behavior, whereas the American career wife is over-competitive : and , therefore 'insecure.' On the contrary, it merely asks whether the value emphasis on competition . pres tige and achievement in the role of the American wife. is. har monious with - the other roles she is asked to play, particular ly in relation to her . husband and children." ' - . , Equaliiy stressed He-complained that such an alyses "of the compatibility in values' has not been carried out in America "there .have been only the most tentative starts in this direction." But the In Need of Name Aurora, Minn. U.R) Minne sota's newest community has everything but a name. More than 1,200 people live m the new town being created for the Erie Mining Company new taconite (low-grade iron ore) de velopment five miles south of here. Two hundred homes have been built and 2,200 more are in the planning stage. The town has a citizen s com mittee - governing ' body which has set up a traffic laws and other ordinances, a fire engine, and streets with names. But the town still is nameless. Most of the early residents call their community Partridge Lakes, bu; there is talk of mak ing the v official name Hoyt Lakes'. The official name may not be decided until' the new community incorporates as a vil lage or city. . San Francisco's eleven hills range in height from 108 to 925 feet. work should be done because ''it seems fairly evident the mature science of healthy, well adjusted behavior will require a full investigation of the entire range of transactions involved in domestic and family rela tions. Another of his examples of America's troubles in the family was this: "The model . middle class family stresses the autono my, independence and individ uality of every member. The wife is on equal terms with the husband . . . The children have as much right to be "heard as anyone else i ". . These values may throw a mother into much conflict with a mother-in-law whose . understanding is that children should be seen but not heard and a wife subservient to her husband's . wishes. Further more, being older, wiser and more : experienced : in life, the mother - in - law may believe, quite logically, that her advice and : opinion on these matters should prevail ... If the hus band is then called upon to ref eree this dispute, he is thrown into an emotional conflict" from which there . is no escape un less he sides either with wife or mother. ;Dr. Spiegel stated his views in a lecture at a recent meeting of the Massachusetts Medical Society. 15-Year-0ld Building Private Observatory Bucyrus, O. (U.R) A private observatory costing an estimated 8100,000 is unde construction here in the backyard of a 15,-year-old boy who . follows as tronomy "merely as a hobby." The observatory is being built for Charles Reid Michael, high school sophomore and honor student, by ' his father, Walter J. Michael. Dresident " of tho )hio Locomotive Crane Co. It is expected to be finished in January. The round-domed building it self will be about the same size as Ohio Wesleyan University's Perkins Observatory, one of the largest east of the Mississippi River. : However, the " custom-built telescope will be only a 12-inch one compared to Ohio Weslay- an's 69-inch reflector. A Ger man firm will supply the lens. In the . building will be an ex tensive library on astronomical subjects. According to Mrs. Michael Charles has never had any for mal instruction . in astronomy but has conducted a : thorough study on his own. t His parents have encouraged him in his interest. , During the July 4 eclipse, they drove him more than a thousand miles to a point on Lake Superior so . he could use his present three-inch I telescope to best advantage. good cook knows: Just a little difference in ingredients makes a big difference in cooking results Snowdrift is just a little lighter than any other shortening and that can make the big difference in giving your family lighter, hore digestible foods.' sir k ii Snowdrift is pre-whipped just a little longer than ordinary shortenings. That can make the big difference in easier blending for cakes, pie crust, biscuits and everything you bake. Snowdrift's ingredients are just a little costlier than any other solid shortening's (yet you pay no more). And that can make the big difference in better tasting foods. No other shortening at any price is so creamy, so digestible - and so light! 100 rUH AU-VfOCTABU SHOtTENINO MAM SY THI WESSON Oft KOFIS 117 S.
