Pickin' Pears By SID HOLLINGSWORTH Manager Eugene K. Ricker, in making public the fact that amp wnite is under quaran tine due to the prevalence of an "upper respiratory infection," stressed the fact that the illness a not serious, but has become general enough to necessitate the step. Virtual isolation of the mem bership will be observed during the quarantine. All activities conducted by volunteers will be suspended, and members will not be permitted to leave the station except when approved by the chief medical officer. The action necessitated can cellation of the Hobby Fair, which was scheduled for today. The date has been set, tenta tively for Sunday, May 21. It is thought the quarantine will be removed and the weather will be more favorable by then. Members also complain that some of their exhibits are not ready for showing yet. Addi tional items will be forthcoming, including gems and roclr speci mens, woodwork and novelties, as well as some new paintings, including a "masterpiece" being executed by Dan Dyer. He is engaged in putting the finishing touches to a classical painting of two ships at sea, a Spanish galleon and an English ship of the 16th century period. Dyer is an expert in handling the details of construction and rigging, as well as distinguishing marks which identify the ships that sailed the seas in the period of exploration of the new world. He had a studio in San Francisco where he made ship models to scale. General maintenance work and improvement of buildings and grounds have been sched uled for the spring and summer months, Burt Sims, chief engi neer, has announced. The imme diate schedule calls for replace ment of 32 showers in the domi ciliary buildings, and outside painting of the nurses' and Men's quarters and the adminis tration building. The supply division has sent out bids for bowling alley equip ment and "sound proof tile for the early completion of the new bowling alleys for recreation.

Smith, loan manager. This was a 28 per cent gain over the corresponding period a year ago. Loans in the past year aver age slightly over $1,365,000, to 204 veterans, each month. The average veteran's loan amounted to $6,691. In the nearly ten years since the program started, Smith said 14,338 veterans have borrowed $71,117,839. They have already repaid $32,978,303 in principal and interest, with monthly re payments exceeding $800,000. More than $20,000,000 of the principal repayments has been re-loaned.

Cecil Kee cautioned every one about flue fires, and in particu lar about oil stoves, stating this to be the most dangerous time of the year for fires as stoves are turned down low, causing considerable amounts of soot to accumulate. The lecture program consisted of an Easter egg roll and egg eating contest. The men modeled Easter hats that the ladies had made the afternoon before at the H.E.C. meeting.

It is something that anyone can have if he is willing to work for it. All will power is is the ability to make decisions jfe:;. i iud and to carrv Dr. Huxloek them out o completion. This sounds much easier than it actually is, which ir why so many people never acquire this gift. Take the matter of making decisions. It is easy enough o make a decision when there are only a few alternatives and when one stands out from all the others as the best. However, the best choice is not always so evident. Often the alternatives seem so nearly equal that it is hard to know which is best. The chooser wavers, fear ful he will regret his choice after it has been made. This is es pecially likely to happen if he has made choices in the past wh:ch he has lived lo regret. Once a decision is made, less than half the battle is won. It is easy to carry out a decision if it can be done quickly, or if there are few obstacles in the way. Unfortunately, this is an ideal situation which rarely occurs in real lif.e More often than not, a de cision cannot be carried out at once, when the chooser's en thusiasm is high. It may take a long time. Enthusiasm may start to wane, and with it, effort. Then there are the obstacles to be overcome. If they sre small, that will not bother him too much. In fact, they may act as challenges which spur him on to extra effort. If however, the obstacles seem numerous and insurmount able, he is likely to be discour aged before he ever begins. Then he will try to convince himself that he made the wrong decision and that is why he is not going to try to overcome the obstacles. LETTERS FROM READERS Climbers: "I have never been able to understand why some people always want to be like someone else. Why can't they be satisfied with what they are or have?" (A) Very few people are what they would like to be or have what they would like to have. They invariably see other people who seem superior to them or who have better material posj sessions. So. they try to "climb" to the same position as these people they envy. On the whole, being a "climber" is not a bad thing to be, provided one is not too obvious about it or does not make himself and everyone close to him unhappy in the process. Smoking: "I was shocked the other day when I caught my 10-year-old son smoking. He finally confessed that he had tried smoking his father's cigarettes several times before. How should I handle this matter?" (A) There's no need to be shocked. Most boys try to smoke at about that age because it givs them a feeling of self -importance and makes them feel grown up. It is very much like dressing up FREE HOBBY CRAFT INSTRUCTIONS Spring series of WOOD FIBRE FLOWER making classes: Beginners Classes held at 1 P.M. and 7:15 P.M. starting Thursday, April 21st . . .

By ELIZABETH HURLOCK, PH.D. in adult clothes.. However, your son is much too young to be smoking as a regular thing. Point out to him that it will affect hi health and he must wait until the doctor says he is old enough to smoke if he wants to grow big and strong as a man should be. If you give him a good rea son, I think you will find him cooperative in this matter. Buying Home: "When a young couple is first married, is it wise to start buying a house or is it better to live in a rented house?" (A) If the couple can afford to buy a house, after buying the furnishings and equipment they need, and if they know exactly what they want, then there is no reason not to buy. In general, however, it would seem better to live in a rented house for at least a year until they had an opportunity to know what type of house would fit their needs best (COPYRIGHT 19S5.

April 17. 195S Around Hollywood Hollywood (U.R) Edgar Bergen, a holdout for regular television, is on the verge of sign ing for a tall series but he'd like to give it all up and leave town . "because TV is killing off co medians." For three years the com ic ' - ventrilo quist sadly has been restistine 6 3 Aline Motor a regular TV show. Instead, he has done guest spots such as "Alice in Wonder land" (VMany people did not like the way the show was changed"), the "Shower of Stars" and now next Sunday's "Colgate Comedy Hour." "I must make up my mind soon about this TV series," said Bergen. In the tradition of comedians, offstage he appears mournful and quiet. He sat sipping soup and hot tea after a "Comedy Hour" rehearsal and meditated on the problems of making aud iences laugh. TV Too Much "Regular television there have been casualties among co medians to prove I'm right. It's just too much," he said with a sigh. "But I'll have to do it their way or not at all. It's a problem of sponsor identification. Spon sors want you to be on regular ly." Bob Hope and Joan Davis will take a rest from TV next fall, and George Gobel and Jackie Gleason want to film their shows. Bergen foresees the day when TV will have worn out the funny stars and "are we .pushing new ones to take their place?" "You can turn out singers and dancers by the dozens," said Ber gen. This is a brave statement as he guests a TV show with such stars as Gordon MacRae and Sheree North, but he got even braver: "You can turn out actors by the dozens, too. But you can't turn out a comedian any old time, just as you can't turn out a pianist or a concert violinist in three or four weeks. It not only takes experience to say those lines, it takes personality." Nightclub Act If he gives up TV, Eergen con tinued, he'd like to take his re cent nightclub act he created for the Sahara hotel in Las Ve gas and tour auditoriums around the country. Or he may shoot Augusta, Ga. (U.R) The White House has announced that Adm. Felix B. Stump, comr.ian- er in chief, Pacific, will come to Augusta, for a special report to President Eisenhower.
