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.

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.

Tamaqua, Pa. (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. Sacred Heart cen
ter is open Thursdays from 2
to 5 p.m. and Community on
Wednesdays from 3 to 6 p.m.

Washington (U.P) Back
stairs at the White House:
When Mr. Eisenhower first
took office, he had doubts about
whether his daily callers should
be exposed to interviews with
reporters after they left this of

that many of his callers wanted
to be interviewed. He learned,
too, that sometimes it is to his
own advantage to have a calelr

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

policy makers but most of Mr.
Eisenhower's cohorts must leave

With the new wall or partition

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 White House insists that
the new partition was not built

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

his job Saturday night. His lock
