    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. He said residents have seen
copies of an article proposed for

As We Live
By ELIZABETH HU3LOCK. PH.D.
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.

On Saturday the voting board
had another problem. A team
captain, one James A. Abell,
whose registration area is on the
fringe of the district way out
was about to take his forms out.
Just before he left, the hospital
called and said Mrs. Abell was
about to present him with an
heir. The registration forms
were a little late in arriving. It
was a boy. The forms finally got
to the right place.
The copyright section of the
Library of Congress sometimes
gets requests to copyright song

out there were a little startled

The other, "Santa Claus Is
Here."
