"Scatlerbrain" Advised A "Scatterbrain" is a person who is not very well coordinated mentally. He does things without 0 thinking of their consequences, on the impulse of the moment, and fails to plan ahead with the result that he forgets even im- q portant things. Is there any cure for such a person? (Q) "When I wai a child my Barents used to tall me that I should hare nry had lied on or I would lose it.

The names of the victims, 11 airmen and 55 soldiers, were withheld until their relatives in the United States could be noti fied. All of the men wore para chutes but none got a chance to use them.

Meanwhile, the Republican governors were almost unani mous in backing President Eis enhower for a second term. Many of them expressed confidence that he will be a candidate and score a decisive victory. The Democrats were not so united and at least two South ern governors threatened open rebellion against a Stevenson ticket in 1956. Texas' rebel Gov. Allan Shivers announced he would support "practically any body," regardless of party, in preference to Stevenson. And Gov. George B. Timmerman of South Carolina predicted a "strong, definite possibility" of By ELIZABETH HURLOCK, PH.D. and it is a pity that someone did not help you before you grew up. However, it is never too late to learn, though it will be harder for you now than it would have been when you were a child and your scatterbrain behavior had not yet settled into a habit. What you need is some system in your life. You are the only one who can put it there. The best way to start is to get your self a notebook and pencil and an engagement pad. Every night, before you go to bed, make a de tailed list of things that must be done the next day, indicating just when they should be done, even to the hour. Check List Put this list on your engage ment pad and copy a list of the things from the pad into your notebook for the morning duties. Then check at noon to see if everything has been done and copy from the engagement pad into your notebook what you are to do in the afternoon. Using this system, you will have at least three checks a day on your duties, morning, after noon, and evening. That should go a long way toward helping you to become less scatterbrained and more efficient. (Copyright 1955, General Features Corp.) 'icaJtPxJiic PUBLIC IS INVITED! Friday, August 12. 1953 which happened at 2:18 p.m. Thursday when an engine failed aboard one plane and it faltered and hit the other 4,000 feet over the Black Forest village of Edel weiler. One plane crashed into a wheat field and the other against a thickly wooded hillside. Both ex ploded and burned and Army au thorities said any survivors aboard could not have lived for more than a few minutes. The toll could have been high er but one plane carried a three quarter ton truck and had room a third party candidate next year. Must Clarify Views Stevenson will have to do "a lot of clarifying of his views" to be acceptable in the South, Timmerman said. On the other hand, Steven son won continuing support from New York's Gov. Averell Har- riman, even though Harriman had been consistently mention ed at the conference as a possl ble Democratic candidate for the presidency. The conference's final sessions today included expected adop tion of a resolution on highways and a round table discussion on inter-governmental relations.

On Training Flight The two twin-engined planes, from the 60th Troop Carrier Wing at Rhine Main Air Base near .Frankfurt, took off from Echterdingen Airport near Stutt gart in a formation of nine about 2 p.m. on a training flight. Aboard one plan were 41 sol diers from an Army engineer unit stationed near Stuttgart, five crew members and an Air Force "loadmaster." The other carried 19 soldiers and airmen. "The men all wore parachutes and were given instructions on how to use them how to get out the exit and in what order," an Army spokesman said. But 15 minutes after takeoff one plane developed engine trou ble, dipped sharply and then pulled in front of another plane. One plunged to the ground; the other held its course for about a minute while the pilot fought for control. Then it plummeted to earth. because Airiiffily.lnlQillff-Qoofiiirfls IS5.HQt B- NrTEUSE JLBU C H , I N Marlon Brando Fined For Traffic Citations Hollywood (U.P.)

Solution Seen For Boxcar Lack Salem ;U.R) Competition was suggested today as the solu tion to railroad boxcar short ages in southwestern Oregon. A report by the Public Utili ties Commission for the gover nor's emergency transportation committee charged that the Southern Pacific railway has provided enough cars for areas where it has competition at the expense of southwest Oregon where it has a monopoly. Clifford W. Ferguson, PUC railroad director, said it may be suggested to the Interstate Com merce Commission that other railroads have the right to haul trains over SP tracks or for shippers to have the right to order cars from other railroads. He said his investigators sent to Washington state and northern California found that lumber shippers had just about all the cars they nesded while southern Oregon plants were short. buy the popular 4-can pak YOU'LL LIKE THE PRICE!
