(U.R) Back stairs at the Gettysbury White House: President Eisenhower's, offi cial callers during his recupera tion here expect the full treat ment from the press corps when they leave the President's office. They aren't usually disappointed. Republican National Chairman Leonard W.,Hall, at a 25-minute news conference following a 45- minute talk with the President, successfully fielded a barrage of questions on, Mr Eisenhower's second term intentions. Then he hurried, as a man-reprieved, out to his waiting limousine. "I've got to pick up a pack of cigarets," he told his chauffeur, glancing up and down the street for a likely source of supply. The chauffeur replied helpfully that he had seen a dispeaser just in side the door of the temporary White House press room. Hall shook his head. -"I don't want to go back in there;" he said, with finality. The chauffeur went back for the smokes. The President's privacy on his handsome farra estate suffered a sudden decline with fall when sheltering trees shed their leaves. Now it easy, with a pair of binoculars, to get a good look at the place from any of several vantage points. The persistent viewer can al most count on seeing the Presi dent, out for a few practice strokes on his putting green or strolling around on his farm. Fortunately for the President's peace of mind, and desire for privacy, there aren't many tour ists here this time' of year. A pretty weekend though still brings them out by the hundreds. Cameramen are something else again. Press Secretary James C. Hagerty blew the whistle on long lenses almost from the start. He said the President nev er would feel free to go out if he knew a camera was trained on him every moment. Then there is the matter of that 75-foot observation tower, on the edge of the Battlefield National Park and just east of the President's farm. It was closed when the President ar rived on Nov. 14. Last Sunday, a beautiful day, lucky sight seers found the gate unlocked and climbed to the top by the score. The Park Service thought the Secret Service had o'kayed it; and vice versa. Turned out some body had picked the lock. Now its closed again. . The new lock will be harder to pick, and who ever picks it may get into plenty of trouble. Hugh Keckler, the President's nearest neighbor, thought Mr. Eisenhower might be interested in his offer to sell the Keckler . farmhouse, plus 3V2 acres, a small barn and a couple of out buildings, for $15,000. He put For Sale" signs on the place, just down the road from Mr. Ei- GOLD HILL 0 Benefit Dance Said Success Mrs. J. E. Wall, By MRS.

Hugh Hays have returned from Chico, Calif., where tBy spent the Thanks giving holidays with their son and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Hays. O Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Wills and three children, Klamath Falls, and Mr. and Mrs. Alva Walker were dinner guests at jhe home of Mr. and Mrs. Delos '-SV-alker and girls Thanksgiving day. Mr. "and Mrs. Walker have rented their house on the river to Mr. and Prospect. Columbia Interstate Bridge Wins Approval Portland (U.R) Secretary of the Army Wilbur M. Brucker has approved, in principle, the proposed reconstruction of the inter-state bridge between Port land and Vancouver. . Word of the approval was re leased here ' yesterday by Col. David S. Parker, acting Port land district engineer. The pro posal called for half of the re construction cost to be borne by Oregon and Washington, and the other half by the federal government. Formal approval of the raising of the bridge will be issued when the Corps of Engineers is as sured by the two states that their half of the financing will be ac complished. Actual reconstruction was scheduled to be completed in the spring of 1958, after a new bridge across the Columbia was finished.

But White House sources said Mr. Eisenhower, who had picked up a number of tracts surrounding his place to protect the area against commer cialization, is about ready to draw the line. He isn't interested in the Keckler offer. As We Live Prematurity Does Not Necessarily Mean Weakness According to tradition, a pre maturely born baby will not grow up to be as healthy and strong as one who is born at full term. (Q) "I am an only child. I ar rived in the world two months before I was expected; I weighed Dr. Herlock four pounds. I was in an in cubator for several weeks and the doctor kept me in the hospital until I was nearly two months old. "My parents have always been so afraid I would get sick or die that they have hovered over me all my life. I am very strong and healthy, never really sick, and would like to do what the other girls in high school do, but my parents are always telling me I'm not strong enough to do these things. "Now the situation is getting worse. Every time a boy takes me on a daie, my mother tells him to be sure to bring me home early as I am not very strong. This makes' me feel like falling through the floor, but she doesn't stop there. She invari ably tells the boy that I was a premature baby and they almost lost me. "Her final word to me as I go out the door is not to 'dance too much' or not to 'overtire' myself. I am afraid boys will begin to think I am a weakling and won't By ELIZABETH HURLOCK, PH.D. want to take me on dates." E. M. H. (A) It is very likely boys will think you are a weakling and, even worse, when you are older and the boys begin to think. of marriage, they may wonder ' if they want to marry such a "deli cate" woman. Your mother can prove to be a real obstacle to your matrimonial chances if she doesn't mend her ways. I suggest you go to your doc tor for a physical check-up and a heart-to-heart talk with him. Explain how your mother has al ways treated you, what she tells people, how she keeps you from doing what you feel you can do without hurting your health. The doctor can tell, from the tests he makes, just how weak or strong you are and what you can safely do. Then have him talk to your mother and point out to her how unfair she is to coddle you now that you are a healthy young woman. He should be able to convince her that the effects of your pre maturity are a thing of the past. (COPYRIGHT 1955, GENERAL FEATURES CORP.) VERDICT RETURNED A verdict in favor of Steve Wilson was returned yesterday in a two-day jury trial in dis trict court. Roxie N.

Shadwick charged that the accident resulted in $750 dam age to his irrigation ditch, fruit trees, hay and berries.
