Mackie Speaks On
Buildings Codes at
Rotary Luncheon
A regulatory law is only good
if it safeguards rights of the ma
jority of people affected, Her
bert E. Mackie, city building in
spector and architect, told the
Medford Rotary club Tuesday.
Speaking a a Jackson Hotel
luncheon meeting, Mackie ap
plied the observation to the
building code of the city of Med
ford, patterned after that adopt
ed by the Pacific Coast Building
Officials conference. More than
800 cities of the United States
as well as Tokyo, Japan, and
Honolulu, T.H., use the code as
the basis of regulating building.
Many problems go hand-in-hand
with growth, Mackie said.
Medford is continually faced
with revisions in zoning and
building to meet increasing pop
ulation needs. Extensive build
ing code changes are now being
studied in view of anticipated
expansion of the city and to
meet local conditions.
State Control Needed
Need for a state control over
non-metropolitan structures to
meet standards of stability and
safety was noted.
. As city architect, Mackie de
signed the Medford municipal
airport building, which has been
acclaimed a model of its type.
He was introduced by E. N. Mc
Kinstry, city engineer and
Rotary chairman.
Dr. Ernest Nichols of Beverly
Hills, Calif., who has been asso
ciated with Disney studios,
imitated birds . by whistling.
Shelby Tuttle introduced Dr.
Nichols.
Loughran Announces

Emil Loughran, who arrived

Francisco, has announced the
opening of studios for the in
struction of piano and organ

Loughran, who instructs in
both classical an'd popular mu
sic, said he will accept both be
ginning and advanced students.
His family, staying in Seattle
temporarily, will join him here
within a few weeks.
He can be contacted through

AS fV LlVQ By ELIZABETH HURLOCK, PH.D.
Popularity is Not
Worth the Price
To be popular, a person must
pay the price. But there are
limits to the price that should
be paid.
(Q) "I am worried about my
daughter who is just 16 years
eld and a high school junior.
She likes par
ties and boys
and wants to
be popular
with the boys
so she will
have plenty of
dates. To be
popular, she
insists, she
must be per-
Dr. Hurlock mitted to do
many of the things her father
and I disapprove of, such as rid
ing around in a car with a' boy,
going to places to dance where
they serve liquor, and staying
out much later than we think
a girl of her age should be out
alone with a boy. But, she is
so afraid the boys will think she
is tied to our apron strings that
she does these things no matter
what we say. She claims all the
other girls are allowed to do
them and that we are old-fashioned
in our ideas.
' "I am afraid she will get a
bad reputation if she keeps on
doing these things but I don't
know how to stop her. How shall
I handle this problem?"
Mrs. H. T.
(A) If you are sure all he
other girls your daughter goes
with are permitted to do the
things you and your husband
disapprove of, you must decide
which is going to be more im
portant to your daughter, not
only now but in the future: pop
ularity with the boys or a repu
tation that will win her the type
of husband she will be happy
with.
In the teens, girls and boys
rarely see beyond their noses.
They think mainly of the pres
ent and what is important to
them right now. That is what
our daughter is doing. She wants
to be popular, no matter what
price she must pay for it, and
she does not realize that the
price may be too high.
Difficult To Live Down
Point out to her that a bad
reputation is something that is
difficult, if not impossible, to
live down. This should make her
stop and think twice before do
ing something that will win for
her the reputation of being
"fast" or "cheap."
Then, at the next PTA meet
ing, take up the matter of hours,
places of entertainment and rid
ing with boys. Many of the other
parents are doubtless also con
cerned about these matters and
would gladly cooperate with you
in setting stricter rules for their
own teenagers.

Is Thaf So?
Salt is an inexpensive com-1
modity today because it is easily
available in large quantities. In
view of the low price, why not
scatter a generous pinch or two
at least on some of our popular
myths? And so, on to another

Gray's immortal Elegy" in a
Country Churchyard. But, good
as the lines are, they are far
from accurate.'
No. flower ever blushed un
seen or wasted its sweetness on
the desert air -or any other.
The assumption is totally wrong.
Flowers were blooming with
color and wafting their odors
upon the air long before Thomas
Gray was moved to pen his
noble thoughts. And these flow
ers were doing so long before
man ever walked upright. By
no stretch of the imagination
was that color and odor intended
to please man.
The flower was doing it for a
very good and selfish reason:
self-perpetuation. Its'color and
scent "is strictly for the birds,
that is, the few that smell flow
ers;' and for the bugs who both
see color and' srnell odors. The
color and fragrance is there to
entice them to come and help
themselves to a free-will offer
ing of nectar and in doing so
cross-pollinate the flower and
thus insure seeds. Further, many
a plant covers the seeds with
colorful, tasty flesh to entice
animals and birds to eat and
carry them and thus spread them
to new land.
Wasted? Unseen? Don't you
believe it.
Thus humans, including Thom
as Gray, happen to like certain
of these colors and odors or have
become "conditioned" to. like
them is simply a matter of luck.
Fancy: A scorpion, when hard
pressed, rather than be taken
prisoner or to remain alive in
bondage will commit suicide by
striking himself and injecting
his own poison.
Fact; All creatures except an
occasional man go to great
lengths to live and remain alive.
When caught in a trap, not a
few will even chew off their
legs to gain freedom. And, leg
end notwithstanding, even the
scorpion does not commit sui
cide. But even if he wanted to,
he couldn't do it as prescribed
by man. Why? For the simple
and good reason that a scorpion
is immune to its own poison.
Fancy: Snow-dwelling animals
such as snowshoe rabbits change
from their summer habit of
brown to winter robes of white
within a matter of days follow
ing the first snowfall.
Fact: The color change of

snowshoe hares not rabbits,
which is incorrect is a slow
one. It is a molt of one coat and
the growth of another. The pro
cess takes months. What's more,
temperature and ground color
have nothing whatever to do
with it. The change is entirely
due to the calendar or, to hours
of daylight and darkness. As a
result, an early snow winter can
find a hare conspicuously brown
long after the snow falls; or an
unseasonably early spring, with
bare ground, will find him glar
ingly white. .
Keep a captive hare in a heat
ed brown room in winter and
he will put on his heavier, long
er, thicker white winter robe at
the same time as the hare in
the nearby woods; or put him
in a cold, white room in spring,
and he will put on a lighter,
shorter, thinner summer coat, on
time, in season.
As evidence of this slow
change, if bereft of a tuft of his
fur in autumn, the new in-growing
hair will be snow-white al
though the complete over-all
change will be a couple of
months away; or, conversely,
should he lose a tuft of white
fur in late winter, it will be re-

MEDFORD (OHEGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THREE
County Teen-Agers Active
In March of Dimes Work
Jackson county teen-agers are TAP program:
bending their efforts to the
March of Dimes "in grand style,"
it was announced today by Greg
Milnes, county Teens Against
Polio chairman.
Committees have taken collec
tions at most basketball games,
candy sales have been conducted
at the games and in the schools,
several pop bottle collections
have been made and others are
planned, and numerous dances
are on the schedule, Milnes said.
Coast-wide Publicity
. Medford high school has re
ceived coast-wide publicity over
radio station KGO in Oakland,
Calif., as the' only school to use
that station's J. Snyder disc
jockej show as a March of Dimes
project. Milnes said students vote
at their respective schools for
the top 10 records and send their
selections to the station.
The high school Junior class
has scheduled a dance at the
YMCA on Jan. 28 with music by
Bob Ayres sextet. The Juniors
also are "licking polio" with the
sale of suckers, donated by local
candy companies at the school.
This project will soon be ex
tended to the downtown area,
Milnes said.
A portable record player has
been donated by Swems' Gift
shop to be used as a prize in a
guessing contest. Tentative plans
call for a car washing project,
a shoe shine stand and a guess
ing contest, all in the downtown
area. -Chairmen

Milnes announced the follow

brown hair.
As to be expected, the hair
change is orderly; it begins at the
