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.

(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

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.

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.

California Declares
Week-Long Delays on
Polio Vaccinations
Berkeley, Calif. (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.

Against Food Firm
Ontario (U.R) Pendleton lo
cal 900 of the Teamsters' Union
has protested to the National
Labor Relations Board against
Oregon Frozen Foods Company

Thursday's election by the com
pany's 450 employees to deter
mine union representation.'
Ballets in the election have
been impounded by the NLRB

filed with that group earlier in
which the company charges the
union with intimidation of em
ployees in an attempt to win
bargaining rights.
