SIX MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Wednesday. February 8, 1S56 Ike's Name Entered on Minnesota Primary Ballot Without Consent Washington (U.P.) Minne sota Republican leaders entered President Eisenhower in their presidential primary without ask ing or getting assurances that he would go along, Sen. Edward J. Thye (R-Minn.) said today. But on the basis of the Minne sota primary law, an argument can be made that no negative answer to the second term ques tion is likely to come from Mr, Eisenhower before . Feb. 25. By o doing, he would pull the rug from under his friends and the state GOP organization in Min nesota. . -' - ' " ' The presidential primary law in Minnesota is . similar to the one in New Hampshire in that a candidate may be -.entered without his consent but is al lowed to withdraw. Entered in New Hampshire Mr. Eisenhower was entered in the New Hampshire primary last month. He responded by say ing he would not object but that his action, should not; be. inter preted to mean that he had de cided to run again. Thye and other Minnesota GOP leaders put his name in the Minnesota primary last week. This action has not yet been ack nowledged by the President. Mr. Eisenhower has his next medical examination ' scheduled early next week and his doctors will inform him of the results Feb. 14. ,. ;, ... The doctors' report on his re covery from hjs heart attack last fall is expected to weigh Grange Upper Rogue Grange ' . .

Senate GOP Leader William F. Knowland, who wants to run if Mr. Eisenhower does not, is mak ing plans on that assumption.- However, Feb. 15 is the Min nesota deadline for . entering slates of National Convention delegates pledged to a presi dential candidate. The candidate can withdraw before Feb.. 25. If Mr. Eisenhower should an nounce against a second term between Feb. 15 and 25 and fol low up by withdrawing from Minnesota he would knock the state organization slate of dele gates off the ballot.

Morgan has proclaimed the week of Feb. 26 March 3 as, .'National Nothing Week". in Birmingham. Although- '-'many worthwhile causes" use, the medium of the national week to draw attention to .themselves, ' the mayor said, his proclamation was inspired by ' such "ridiculous"- things as "National ..Gold . Plated Diaper Pin Week" arid "National Pickle Wart Week." 3lJ Wally thinks it's pure magic the . way I keep our house spotless, and still have so much time for the things I like to do. Of course, it's finding faster, easier ways to do my housework that reaUy does the trick. Just take wood floors. ... . How I hated that messy cleaning '. and waxing. And my arms and back would ache for days '. V afterwards. Then I heard about ' Bruce Cleaning Wax. What a joy! There's no floor washing at all t t, because Bruce cleans as it waxes. :. Takes only half the time. To top it off, my wood floors never ' : " looked better. Just.try a can of Bruce Cleaning Wax. Everybody who uses it thinks it's wonderful. .-. Incidentally, Tvs found other Bruce floor products help me, too.

(Q) "I am 17 years old and my fiance is 21. I h a v e been- going steady with him for two years and we have been en gaged for six months. We Dr. Hurlock plan to be married when I am 18 and one half years old. Do you think I'm loo young? I love him very much and I know he loves me. Anoth er thing bothering me is that he travels a long distance -to and from his work so he can be near me. He says he can't stay there while I'm here because he' miss es me. I'll admit I miss him also, but I'd rather have him rent . a room and stay there during the week. It would be less travelling after a day's work. How can I make him understand this?" T.N.C. (A) To answer your first ques tion first, I would say you are young to be making a decision that will affect the whole course of your future life. However, you are very wise to plan to wait until you are older before you take the final step. After an en gagement of two years, on top of going steady for two years, you and this young man should know each other very well and should know if you want to spend the rest of your lives to gether. ' As-for -your second question, I am not sure you are wise in suggesting to this young, man that he live away from you, even if it will mean cutting down on the time and energy spent in commuting tack and forth to his work. - ' Thought With Her Living in a place where he knows -few people, away from his family and friends, might be all right ,for a man; who .is emo tionally free.- But, this man's thoughts. are with you and he would be' very lonely and un happy away from you in the evenings, after his work is ov er. Because he is engaged, he would not want to go out with other girls and other young men would be dating their girls. That would leave him all alone. ' . Unless the. commuting proves to be too great a strain on his health, I suggest that you do not interfere with this matter. In" fact, many people find com muting a relaxation after a day's work.. .The other, possible . solu tion to this problem is to ' urge him to look for - a job nearer where you live so he will not have so much commuting. i Copyright 1956,.
