Comment On This and That
By HARMAN W. NICHOLS

Washington (U.R) It's hard
to cotton to the idea of tying
the White House and the Wash-
-'T ington Zoo to
gether. But in
a remote way
they are re
lated. .
Eleanor
Early, who
has written a
volume called
"Washing ton
Holiday," has
made second
cousins of the
two.
First she told what most
everyone knows. How the White
House came into being and how,
for many years it stood the test
I of time until finally the Commis
sion of Public Works remarked
that "this place is standing up by
habit only." ;
: Honest Abe Paid
i That was. after Margaret Tru
' man's piano "broke through the
floor in her suite. There are
: other things, any kid can tell
you. Like the time Mrs. Lincoln
decided to do a little decorating
and ran out of expense money.
When the decorators demanded
payment, somebody suggested an
appropriation. Honest Abe rared
back and said: "I'll pay for it
out of my own pocket first. It
would stink in the nostrils of the
American people to have it said
that I approved flubdubs for this
house, when the soldiers can't
have blankets."
The big white place on Pennsyl
vania, of course, has been re
done.
The lovely Miss Early told
how she got from the White
House to the zoo in one chapter
It had to do with gifts that
come to occupants of the White
House," she said.
History of the zoo goes back
to 1890 when William Hornaday,
chief taxidermist at the Smith
soman Institute, felt pain when
healthy wild animals were slain
for stuffing. So 200 acres were
bought. Hornaday, who was

made curator, had little or no
money, so he solicited help. A
circus donated two elephants
and a tiger for a start. "The
tiger," Miss Early reports, "was
so mangy they had to douse him
with sulphur for three months
before he was fit to look at."
Big Black Bear .
Somebody offered the new
curator a kangaroo for $75
Hornaday didn't have 75 bucks,
but he had two guinea pigs and
a trade was made.
Then the White House began
getting a lot of gift animals.
Actually, way back before the
zoo was started, President Jef
ferson received a big black bear
which he chained in the back
yard at the White House until
neighbors complained. The pres
ent zoo curator, Dr. Bill Mann,
would have loved that beast.
Cal Coolidge . received a
pygmy hippopotamus named
Billy,, which would have seemed
out of place in the East Room,
so he turned it over to the zoo
where there were two lady
hippos. That started something.
The succeeding baby hippos
have all been named "Gum
drop." "Gumdrop XI," I think
it was, arrived just the other
day.
President Eisenhower received
a kangaroo named "Miss," and
called Doc Mann right away.
Strange thing about "Miss" is
that she is an albino, something
rare among the animal hoppers
from down under.

Salem U.R) A bill to raise
the level of self-liquidating
higher education bond issues by
$6,700,000 for nine building proj
ects on six college campuses was
supported before the Joint Ways
and Means Committee of the
Legislature here by Chancellor
elect John P. Richards.
A special plea for married stu
dent housing for 100 students
each at University of Oregon
and Oregon State College to re
place present temporary quar
ters was made. Each project
would cost $600,000. Richards
said there are 876 married stu
dents at Eugene, 944 at Corval
lis and about 150 on the married
housing waiting list at each institution.
Richards said that as of June
30, 1955, there will be $7,184,
000 in outstanding bonds on
self-liquidating, buildings such
as dormitories, the university
student union and the OSC coli
seurri.

$1,200,000; University married

Salem -KU.R) Farmers and im
plement dealers have expressed
themselves as favoring removal
of the provision of law that re
quires them to have a flag man
in front and one behind any
farm implement more than nine
feet wide traveling on a public
highway.
But they had different views
at to methods. Several farmers
appeared at a hearing in favor
of House bill 125 which would
make it legal for a farmer to
move implements such as com
bines, from one farm operation
to another, without a flagman.
Dealers and a growing num
ber of farmers expressed them
selves as favoring instead Senate
bill 221 which would permit the
movement without flag men of
an implement not more than 10
feet wide. And implement from
10 to 12 feet wide would need
only one flag man preceding it.
And any implement over 12 feet
wide would still require two
flag men, one in front and one
behind.
Salem " (U.R) Standards for
setting up new political sub
districts have been submitted to
the Senate State and Federal
Affairs Committee by an ad
visory committee.
The criteria are relative to
proposals to bring about the
redivision of Multnomah, Mari
on and Lane counties. Sen. Mark
Hatfield, Salem Republican, said
Marion and Lane counties would
be omitted from the bill and a
separate measure drawn up for
Multnomah county.
Salem (U.R) The House Tax
Committee has rejected a pro
posed bill to extend from April
15 to May 15' the deadline for
payment of state income taxes.
Salem (U.R) The Oregon
Senate yesterday passed four
bills already approved by the
House designed to , strengthen
the state's fish and game laws.
One would give the Game

designed to aid the commission
in scientific reproduction and

Another would regulate the

As We Live
In recent years parents have
been advised to allow a child
to "express himself." They have
been warned to refrain from
"frustrating" him for fear of de
veloping a warped personality.
A member of the older genera
tion expresses her opinion of
this: -
(Q) "I am getting sick and
tired of the way parents of
today allow their children to
run wild. The children in our
neighborhood do just as they
please, talk back to their el
ders, make life miserable for
their teachers, and get into
all kinds of mischief. I have
brought up three children and;
they are ail good citizens, but
they are allowing their chil
dren to run wild like the oth
er children do.
"When I tell them their
children will never amount to
anything if they are not curb
' ed, they tell me I am old
fashioned. Perhaps I am, but
I feel that children must obey
rules and must learn that the
world is not just for them. No
wonder we have so much ju
venile delinquency today. A
child who is allowed to do
just as he pleases is bound to
get into trouble sooner or
later, and it is parents' fault
not his. Am I being old-f ash-

ioned in my ideas? I would
like to have your opinion."
(A) I agree with you in prin
ciple.. Children must learn to
obey rules and to realize that
the world must
be shared. They
must leam to
live happily
with the rest
of the popula
tion,' allow i n g
the others to
live happily
too.
How ever, I
suspect that I
Dr. Hurlock
differ from you as to the means
of gaining this end. You sound
very authoritarian; the modern
trend is toward being demo
cratic. The difference is that the
first approach forces the child
to be good, while the second
trains him to want to be good
because it is the fair thing to
do and because he will benefit
from it as everyone else will.
The parents you are criticiz
ing are going to extremes by not
teaching the child what he will
seme day have to learn the hard
way. And if he never learns it,
he will discover that he is the
cne who suffers most. Society
will stand just so much.
