Fort Rock Residents Lose Move To Quash Article Publication Eugene U.R) Fort Rock ba sin residents lost a legal move here yesterday when a circuit judge ruled their suit to enjoin publication of articles dealing with the area amount to "cen orship." Circuit Judge A. T. Goodwin rejected a suit brought by a Fort Rock rancher, Philip H. Pitman, saying that the plaintiff had not described "one of the rare cases where injunctive relief prior to publication" was justified. The suit sought to restrain a state farm publication from printing future articles which might be termed as discourag ing persons from settling near the Fort Rock basin. Originally the suit was broke in Lake coun ty but was transferred to Lane county. Defendants Named Named as defendants were the State Board of Higher Education and others responsible for the publication entitled Oregon's Agricultural Progress. Assistant Attorney General John Nichols, representing the defendants, moved to quash service of the complaint on two counts, both of which were overruled by Judge Goodwin. Nichols charged that war rants were improperly served and contended that the court did not have jurisdiction but rather the suit should be brought in Benton county, where the article was published. Attorney for the plaintiff. Dennis Marvin, Bend, told the court, "I recognize that freedom of the press, one of our civil rights, is very important and that we are asking the court to do a great thing. But we feel that we are here on a just cause and that we have equally as im portant rights involved here." Marvin continued, "It is my impression that the freedom of the press and speech was one of our civil rights guaranteed to Individuals. That this country is made up of individuals and the government is its agency and trustee and that when the gov ernment, as it has in other places, violates the publishing and speaking that we are talk ing about, that civil rights shouldn't protect the state." Can't Secure Loans Marvin charged that since the publication of an article in Jan uary, farmers in the Fort Rock basin area have found it impos sible to secure short term loans. He also contended that prior to the publication of the articles farmers in the area had received a great many inquiries about sale of their land. Since the ar ticle was printed, he said, there have been practically no in quiries.

Don't Put Reformed Mate In Way of Temptation When a person wants to give up a bad hibit, he should receive every possible encouragement, even when it means personal sac rifices from his family. (Q) "I am 23 years old and the mother of three small children. IF I like to go out at least once a week on Satur day night with my husband to dance. Lately, he hasn't want ed to take me. About three weeks ago, he g a t e up t Dr. Hurlock drinking. He used to do a great deal of it but gave it up all of a sudden. Now he doesn't want to take me to a dance place. I told him .he didn't have to drink but he is afraid if we did go he would start in all over again. He tells me to go to a show with my mother or some of my girl friends but, after all, he is my husband and I want to go out with him. Do you think that if I went out alone to a dance place, .he would come to his senses and take me out? I like to have a good time and I am so unhappy about .his not taking me out?" W. B. (A) It is natural for you to want to go out with your hus band and have a good time. You are still young and have great responsibilities as a wife and mother of young children. On the other hand, you should be so thankful your husband is try ing to give up his drinking, you should be willing to make any sacrifice to help him. For a person who has been ac customed to drinking heavily, giving up drinking entirely takes tremendous will power. Going where other people are drinking and where it is easy to get a drink -would put too great a strain on your husband's will power and would probably le'ad to a return to drinking. There Are Ways To Help Your husband is well aware of this and that is why he is try ing to stay away from tempta tion. Help him here in every way you can. There are ways for you and your husband to be together without going out to dance. If he enjoys movies, why not go with him'instead of with your mother or girl friends as he has sug gested? It may not be as much fun as dancing but it can be a pleasant way to spend time to gether, Or, you could invite friends to your home or go to theirs for cards or watching tel evision. This would give you a change without being a strain on your husband. (COPYRIGHT 1956. GENERAL FEATURES CORP.) JUDGE UNIMPRESSED Waukesha, Wis. U.P.)
