Rescue crews brought Gregg out about :30 a.m. Saturday from the canyon along Highway 58 about 18 miles east of Oak ridge. Doctors said he suffered levere frostbite, bruises and cuts. Gregg had been dispatched at 3:30 a.m. Friday by his employ er, the Cummings; Diesel com pany of Eugene,to repair a truck at Halfway House on High way 58. When he hadn't return ed by 8 p.m., the company called state police. A company search crew found a spot where it appeared that a vehicle might have gone off the road but the searchers could find no trace of Gregg at the bottom of the canyon. They were preparing to leave y$ien they heard a noise. Investigating fur ther, they found Gregg standing alongside his panel truck. He had been pounding the side of the .truck with a wrench to at tract attention. A stretcher crew had to walk a quarter of a mile up the road to find a place to getdown into the canyon to bring Sregg out. He told police he twice had attempted to climb out of the canyon, covered by a foot of snow, and once got within 10 feet of the top when he slid back. About 26,000,000 families in the U.

As We Live This Is the Day To Turn Over A New Leaf New Year's Day, in the minds of most people, is the day of the vear when they should turn over I &r a new leaf in their lives, dis card the things that proved detrimental or harmful to them during the past year, and begin from scratch, as re formed p e'o-ple. Dr. Hurlock Read and Use Classified Ads Dead line for Sunday Classified 15 at noon Saturday However, it rarely works out that way. Habits have a tendency to get a hold on people. They make it so much easier to do things in the old, familiar way that people stay in the ruts they have made over the years. A week or even a day alter JNew Year s, they are back in the old, familiar ruts of their lives, doing things in the same old way. The trouble with most people is that tbey see so many things in themselves they would like to change that they bite off more than they can chew. The result is that they become discouraged at the enormity of their task and do little or nothing. If you are one of the people who made New Year's resolu tions in the past and have found they were never realized as the new year progressed, here are some suggestions that should help you to have better success this year than you have had be fore: Hard To Change Trait (1) Decide on one or two things you would like to change. Pick out from the many the ones that would be most helpful to you if they were changed and concentrate on them. It is hard to change a trait that has per sisted for a long time and it will take all your time and effort to do this successfully. (2) Convince yourself that you By ELIZABETH HURLOCK, PH.D. really want to change and that you will be the one who will profit most by the change. This will give you the necessary mo tivation to carry through, no matter how rough the going is. (3) Don't allow yourself, to be come discouraged and disheart ened if you do not see immediate improvement or if you see your self slipping backwards occasion ally. It takes time to change. The more often you allow yourself to slip backwards, of course, the longer the time needed for the change will be.

Ev erything arouses them easily to emotional states, whether it be fear, curiosity or anger. On the other hand, their tendency to get excited easily may come from lack of experience. The more experienced a person is, other things being equal, the better able he is to keep calm and well-poised. Giggling girls: "I have never been able to understand why girls giggle so much, especially in their early teens, while boys rarely giggle. Is this difference due to the make-up of the two sexes?" R. S. T. (A) No There is no hereditary difference in the make-up of boys and girls responsible for this difference in behavior. Gig gling is frowned upon in boys and is regarded as "sissy be havior." Boys, therefore, ex press their embarrassment and self-consciousness and these are what made girls giggle by other nervous : mannerisms, such as standing on one foot and then the other, pulling at their ears, twisting their hands nervously, or blushing. Home for elderly: "My mother i is getting along in years and is all alone except for her married children. She wants to go to a church home for elderly people. Do you think she would be hap py there?" U. B. T. (AfeMany old people are hap py in churcrfhomes because they are with people whose interests are similar to theirs and because they do not feel they are impos ing on their children by going to live with them. The attitude of the iperson who goes to live in a home has a great deal to do with the person's adjustment to the home. Your mother's wanting to spend her old age there should make her adjust well and be happy. (Copyright 1956, General Features Corp.) Sfafe Travel Shows 20 Per Cent Increase Travel activity in Oregon showed an increase of 20 per cent in 1955, compared to 1954, according to the Oregon Amer ican Automobile association club. The increase was determined by the amount of tourist mater ial distributed, trip routings, in quiries and other travel services provided by the club. Interest in foreign travel on the part of Oregonians also showed a strong increase in 1955. Car purchases in foreijgi countries for Oregonians increas ed 50 per cent over 1954, as did automobile rentals for travel aboard. Rail, air and steamship reservations made by the club showed an increase of 33 per cent over the past year.

To drift' upon a moonless sea. A lute whose leading chord Is gone, A wounded bird that hath but one Imperfect wing to soar upon Are like what I am without thee. Thomas Moore Suppose your first three off spring were girls. How far would you go in trying for a son? A fellow I know of is the nintrf child of his parents. The first eight were girls. His moth er and family had intended to limit their children to four. But they were determined to have a son. When their first son was born the father was 51 and the mother 43. q Briefly The name Dorothy means "gift of God." Mabel means "lovable." That of Harriet means "head of the house." ... It was Bellamy Brooks who observed, "That which is to be loved long must be loved with reason rather than passion." (Note that could be why so many so-called "oomph girls" have marriages that are so brief.) Asking Queries from clients. Q. Who starred in the silent film, "Why Change Your Wife?" A. That picture had an all star cast which included Thomas Meighan, Glor ia Swanson, Bebe Daniels and Theodore Kosloff . Q. What was the name of the pitcher who had the "Indian sign" on Babe Ruth and repeatedly made the Sultan of Swat" look ridicul ous? A. Hub Pruett of the St. Louis Browns. Hub really had Ruth's number. One season Babe went to bat against Pruett 16 times and struck out 13 times! Get It Right Again I note the remark, "What this country needs is a good five-cent cigar," credited to former - Vice-President Thomas R. Marshall. That crack was orig inallV made by Kin Hubbard. Marshall was quoting Hubbard. Get it right! Interim Commiflee To Meet Tuesday Salem (U.R) Modification of the state law governing regis tration of voters and repeal of the petition method of placing names on the primary election ballot will be studied by the Legislative Interim committee on Elections here Tuesday. The committee, headed by Sen. Pat Lonergan of Portland, will also consider proposals to make registration lists available at cost for partisan political pur poses, to change the present sys tem of filing registration cards and to permit registrars to con duct neighborhood canvasses for the purpose of registering quali fied citizens. Senators Recommend New Menial Hospital Salem (U.R) Two Oregon state senators Saturday recom mended that the new state men tal hospital to be built in the Portland area be named for the late Dr. F. H. Dammasch, who sponsored the institution. The recommendation, made in a letter to Gov. Paul Patterson, Secretary of State Earl T. New bry and . State Treasurer Sig Unander, was made by State Sens. J. O. Johnson of Tigard, Republican, and Monroe Sweet land of Milwaukee, a Democrat. "We would consider it alto gether appropriate to make this great new institution a memo rial to the physician and states man who sponsored it the Dr. F. H. Dammasch Hospital," the letter said. Dr. Dammasch died in Port land Thursday after suffering a stroke last Mondaye Successful Host How many drinks should a fifth of whisky provide? In a pamphlet titled "How to Be a Successful Host," one S. Jesse Robinson says a bottle of that capacity should provide 18 drinks. No doubt a fifth of whis ky so apportioned would tend to make a man a successful liost. However, to what extent would it help a man to be a successful bar owner? My understanding is that the bartender in the average cafe is expected to get 25 drinks from a fifth of whisky. If I am wrong, please correct me. So They Say Men born under Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 22) are inclined to rush thoughtlessly into a love affair and to become quickly in volved xo rne extent ot an en gagement to be married. That's why Sagittarians break more en- gagements to be married than men born under any other sign. Or, so say the stargazers. o Forgotten Man It is about time the race tracks of this country erected a monu ment in memory of Pierre Oiler. Pierre invented the pari-mutuel system of wagering on thorough breds. That was in Paris in 1865, The Oiler system called for tak ing only 5 per cent of the money wagered. That is about the right percentage. Race tracks could give 2 per cent to the State gov ernment and take 3 per cent for themselves and still make plenty ot money. Sidelights What has been the silliest song title of the past 20 years? How about that of the song titled "Blitzkrieg Baby, You're My ltsy-Bitsy Bombshell of Love"? . . . As for "Pen Pal" type cor respondence leading to love and marriage, I knew of a happily married woman whose husband proposed by mail without seeing her or her photograph. She weighed 300. 5To i MARKET 1 OPEN EVERY NIGHT TIL MIDNIGHT Typhoid Shots Given At Marlene Village Beaverton (U.R) Preventive shots against typhoid fever and paratypnoid were being given 70 residents of Marlene Village, a residential area three miles north of here, as a follow-up to last week's flooding.
