PtPP As We Live Figidity Ntedn'l Com With Aga It is well known that people become rigid, or "set in their ways," physically or mentally, as they grow older. H o w- ever, some people begin to be rigid long before they . are old Others keep their yourful resiliency all their days. Dr. Huxlock Physical rig idity is a great handicap because it means that one is unable to do many of the things one would like to do. It pays to make the effort to keep "in shape" physi cally. But mental rigidity is even more of a handicap. If a person could guarantee that his life would continue in the same groove for the remain der of his days, mental rigidity would be no real cause for con cern. But life rarely treats peo ple that way. Sooner or later everyone must make adjust ments. And adjustments mean changes which the rigid person finds difficult, if not impossible, to make. If you suspect that you are allowing yourself to become rig id, here are some ways you can test yourself to see if your sus picions are justified: Can You Chang Plans 1. How upset do you become when plans must be scrapped and you are forced to , begin from scratch? How well can you change your plans at a moment's notice? 2. How willing are you to change your opinions about peo ple or things when you are given facts which show that your opin ions are not completely justi fied? Do you try to convince yourself and others that you are right, even in face of these facts? 3. How do you feel about any thing new, whether styles in women's hats, new cars, or new methods of educating children? Do you maintain that the old methods were better and that you preferred the old styles to the new? If your answers indicate that you are pretty "set in your ways," you'd be wise to make a conscious effort to become adaptable. LETTERS FROM READERS "Why Is 11 that some popl ar calm in mrgncis. while ethers go to pics and ast lik ehickns without ihair. heads?" (A) How a -person meets an emergency depends partly upon his temperament and partly upon his past experiences. Some people are by nature and train ing calm and unemotional. A person who has been accustom ed to shouldering many respon sibilities learns to meet emer gencies in a calmer way than G By ELIZABETH HURIOCK. PH. does one who has always been able to call on others for helpin a pinch. Lack of Escort "My daughter, who Is a soph omore in high school, simply won't gc to any of the parties because she has no boy to lake hr. She says no on gos to parties without a date. - Is . this tru?" (A) Yes, it is true that very few high school girls of today go to parties without a date. In fact, many of the invitations are given with the statement, "Bring your date." If a girl goes to a party alone or with another girl, she is likely to have a pretty dull time. Doesn't your daugh ter know any boys she could in vite to the parties as her dates? You might try having a party for her and see if this does not help her to get to know some boys well enough that she can call on them to take her to par ties. Husband in Strric "My daughter's husband is In ih service and she has been liv ing with us. She has a good job and is saving for a horn whan hr husband gals out of th serv ice. Now sh wants to join him. Do you think this it wis?" (A) I think your daughter and her husband should decide this matter. It he is to be sent over seas in the near future, it is un derstandable that she would want to be with him. She could doubtless get a job where he is and thus continue to save for their home.

(lnt$rnaiional) Marion Judge Rules Against Dammasch Salem (U.R) Marion county Circuit Judge Val Sloper has ruled that Dr. F. H. Dammasch (R-Portland) cannot serve as a member of the Oregon state leg islature and at the same time work part-time for the State In dustrial Accident Commission. Dr. Dammasch had sought a declaratory judgment in a suit filed against the commission. Dammasch, who has served sev eral terms in the House, until recently also was employed on a fee basis by the commission in Portland. Judge Sloper held that to serve both posts at the same time would violate a constitutional provision against holding two state posts at the same time. J3r. Dammasch said he would appeal Judge Sloper's ruling to the Oregon Supreme Court.

(U.R) California declared a weeklong ban on all polio vaccinations Saturday but officials hinted it might be lifted in view of a pub lic health recommendation that innoculations "should be contin ued." The state imposed the moria torium on vaccinations with all Salk polio injections in order to give federal medical authorities time to determine whether the vaccine caused a number of cases of polio across the nation. Encouraging Statement Dr. Robert Dyar, chief of the preventive medicine division of the State Department of Health, called the federal department statement by Dr. Jonas Salk and 10 other top polio experts "an encouraging a n d reinforcing statement." The State Board of Public Health called the seven-day ban Friday night but left a loophole by saying shots should be given until federal authorities had an opportunity to explore the situa tion. The 18-member advisory com mittee of the State Department of Health recommended the ban Two Measures Killed By Oregon Senate Salem (U.R) The Senate Sat urday killed by a 16 to 14 vote a bill that would have provided that an injured workman could choose arbitration instead of court appeal in case he was not satisfied with the compensation award of the State Industrial Accident Commission. The Senate also killed a meas ure that would have called for election, of state representatives. The Senate approved Senate Joint Resolution 31 called for an interim committee to study local government and urban area problems. Friday night and scheduled a meeting in San Francisco for next Wednesday. Local officials said they thought Saturday's statement out of Washington would certainly mean a recommendation for re sumption of polio shots at next Wednesday's meeting and specu lated that the advisory commit tee might call an earlier meet ing. , .. ' Soma' Impatience Dr. Dyar said that there had been evidence of impatience on the part of some local health of ficers at the imposing of the ban and that all health officers he had talked to expressed a de sire to resume the vaccination program as soon as possible. When the board decided Fri day night to call for the ban Los Angeles county, the most heavily populated in the state, imme diatey announced it would com ply and other counties followed suit.
