Mondav for Monday: other das 5:30 previous day As We Live Attractive Mother Competes With Her Many people believe that it is best to marry young and have their children while they are still young enough to enjoy them and grow up with them. There is another side of the picture, though. (Q)-"I am 16 years old and a junior in high school. My mother was married when she was not nuitn 18. nrl I T - was born the next year. I have a young er sisiler and brother. When we were kids, my mother used to leave us with my grandmo ther day after day. and we often had my grand mother or a baby-sitter with us at night because my mother loves good times, clothe, and parties. She did not want to be tied down with us kids. "Now she is beginning to make things very difficult for me. She likes men and boys and always comes in and talks to the boys who come to get me for a date. She doesn't look old enough to be my mother, she is very pretty and dresses well, and she knows what to say to the boys better than I do. They all like her and seem to want to Dr. Hurlock Police Press Hunt For Berkeley Girl Berkeley, Calif. flJ.R) Police intensified their search today for 14-year-old Stephanie Bryan aft er a "great number" of leads checked out yesterday proved to be fruitless. Police said they have "nothing yet that is really helpful'' in the disappearance last week of Ste phanie, daughter of Dr. Charles S. Bryan Jr., Berkeley radiolo gist. Every available officer was assigned to a careful search of the wooded hillside neighbor hood where she disappeared Thursday while en route home from school. Other officers were checking out the one tangible clue" in the disappearance which was furnished by at least seven per sons. , Allen Hill, University of Cali fornia student, and his wife re ported seeing a man struggling with a young girl in an auto on the Broadway Tunnel road on the day the girl disappeared. They said the girl seemed to be trying to escape from the car. By ELIZABETH HURLOCK, PH.D. hang around and talk to her. even if it makes us late for a movie or dance. Then when we do get started, I always feel so self-conscious because I am afraid the boy is comparing me with my mother that I don't make a very good impression. I just can't compete with my mother, but I don't know what to do about it. What would you advise? (A) Why not explain to your mother what effect she is having on your social life? She may recognize that you are ill-at-ease with the boys, and it may be that she is just trying to break the ice before you start out. Or it may simply be thoughtlessly on her part. She may enjoy the companionship and admiration of young boys and not stop to think what ef fect she is having on you. You should be able, however, to learn a lot from watching and listening to your mother when she is with the boys. She can. indirectly, teach you a lot about how to handle boys more suc cessfully, and this will give you greater poise and self-confidence. Try to make your mother your ally instead of your competitor, and see if this does not help. (COPYRIGHT 1955, GENERAL FEATURES CORP.)

(U.R) A New York family "crushed by the) brutality of a big city" came to J this rural community today toj bury the body of their murdered son in the "clean earth of the Poconos." The grief-stricken family of William Blankenship Jr., slain Saturday night by a teen aged hoodlum in the Bronx, arrived here this morning by auto from New York. Funeral Director Conrad B. Zizelmann will take charge of their son's body at the Lehigh ton, Pa., station of the Lehigh Valley railroad. He will take it to the Zizelmann funeral home in Tamaqua. Traveling with the slain boy's parents were their other chil dren, Douglas, 18, a paratrooper stationed at Ft. Bragg, N.C., Randolph 11, and Carey, 6. Funeral Rites Held More than a hundred friends, schoolmates and teachers of the boy crowded into the small room in the Walter B. Cooke funeral home to attend funeral rites conducted by the Rev. R. Mil lard Farrell. Billy lay in a pearl gray cof fin, his hands clasped peacefully on his breast. His eyes no longer beheld the horror of Saturday night when he and a friend were surrounded by a teen-age gang led by Frank (Tarzan) Santana. Billy's father, William Blan kenship Sr., a research chemist and president of the Bronxwood Advisory council, made the deci sion to take his family out of the city. He said, "teenage hood lumism is ihe outward sign that everything here is rotten ... it has finally got me licked. I'm getting out." The senior Blankenship's civic organization has sought to com bat New York's rising juvenile hoodlumisnf. Santana Loses Bravado The Rev. Charles J. Mathias, pastor of St. John's Lutheran church, will conduct final funer al services for Billy at Tamaqua Wednesday. He will be buried in Sky View Memorial park, about two miles outside Tama qua where he was born and spent several happy vacations. Santana was arraigned Mon day along with Ralph (Rocky) Falcon, 16. He is being held without bail. Santana is being held in $50,000 bail. The two had lost the bravado they displayed at the time of their arrest when they appeared before Magistrate Hyman Korn Monday. Judge Korn blamed the "apa thy of the people of this city" for the crime. "Until they wake up the situation will continue," he said. Dist. Atty. Daniel V. Sullivan said he would seek a first-degree murder indictment against Santana. More Food Handlers To Receive X-Rays Employees of four more food service businesses will have chest x-rays at the county's two permanent x-ray centers, accord ing to Mrs. Jack Walker, chair man of the case-finding commit tee of ,lhe Jackson County Pub lic Health association. They are Crater cafe, Town House cafe, Fluhrer's bakery and Bateman's Richfield cafe. Workers at the Big Y market, Groceteria, Top Notch cafe and Quality market are among the many persons who have already been x-rayed, she said. The food service x-ray program is being carried out mainly through ef forts of Bill Hoxie and Alvin York of the Central Labor coun cil, members of the county x ray committee. Inasmuch as Oregon has no law requiring physical examin ations for such workers, em ployers might well take advan tage of the x-ray centers to pro tect their customers, Mrs. Walk er stated. Any person desiring a chest x-ray may call at either center during out-patient hours with out appointment and for a nom inal charge.

He learned rapidly, however, that many of his callers wanted to be interviewed. He learned, too, that sometimes it is to his own advantage to have a calelr say certain things for publica tion and broadcast. for the President's staff. The White House offices are excep tionally overcrowded. Mr. Eisen howers office is one of the very few federal establishments where there are no facilities for the bulk of the employees to eat without leaving the office. A small dining room is main tained for the higher ranking policy makers but most of Mr. Eisenhower's cohorts must leave the White House to get so much With the new wall or partition across the end of the lobby, visi tors can be kept off the record if j Mr. Eisenhower so desires without having to route them through devious backyard gates as Presidents Roosevelt and Tru man frequently did. A visitor now, with the proper entree, can enter the west wing of the White House via side door and go to the office of the President's ap pointment secretary without ever being seen by reporters or photographers. The White House insists that the new partition was not built in the interests of easier secrecy, but to create more office space California To Resume Polio Shots Monday Berkeley, Calif. (U.R) The California Health Department announced today that the im munization of first and second grade school children with Salk polio vaccine will be resumed throughout California next Mon day. Director Dr. Malcolm H. Mer rill said the department decided to continue the program, inter rupted with the recall of all vac cine produced by Cutter Labora tories of Berkeley, on the strong recommendation of the U. S: De partment of Health, Education and Welfare. Merrill said the last of the Cutter-produced vaccine has been withdrawn from the mar ket and the immunization pro gram will be resumed with vac cine by the Parke-Davis Com pany. Some 552,000 first and second graders in the state are eligible for the first of a three-shot series as a sandwich. Mr. Truman tried to remedy this situation when he was in office and proposed installation of a small cafeteria. But Con gress would not put up the nec essary funds. There have been no big- im provements or enlargement of the White House office since FDR put up what is now the east wing early in World War II. Salem Fisherman Believed Drowned Salem (U.R) John M. Ander son, 33, of Salem, was missing and feared drowned today after going fishing in Boiler Bay last Friday. Anderson, a state prison em ploye, was to have returned to his job Saturday night. His lock ed car and some of his fishing gear were found along the coast in south Lincoln County. Rambler Gives Big Room for 6 and 6 More Miles a Gallon, Too!
