TOOT MEDFORD (OREGOX) MAIL TRIBUNE Thursday, M17 3 1958 A Nichol's Worth of . . . Comment On This and That By HARMAN W. NICHOLS UniNd Preit Ftatura Writtr mm Washingto fU.W Harmony often may be lacking on the floor of Congress. But after bus iness, it some times bursts out all over. After a close vote on a hot issue you'll find party lines short- cir cuited and four-part mel odies such as HarmPD Nlcnoil JJOWn ey me Old Mill Stream" and "I Dream Of Jeanie With The Light Brown Hair" bouncing off the walls of the cloak rooms. Congress could put together an orchestra of its own, too. The American Music Conference (AMO made a survey and learn ed that about one of every three members of Congress plays a musical instrument. A lot of the lawmakers play for their own amusement and, more important, relaxation. Vice President Richard M. Nixon accompanies on the piano while he and his pretty wife and kids cut loose with vocals. Former President Truman needed little coaxing to spread his coattails about the piano stool and run across the black and white keys with his very best on ,,The Missouri Waltz." In all, 136 senators and repre sentatives replied to the survey Forty of these said they played some musical instrument. Ninety- two said they did not, but wished they could. Four replies didn't say yes or no. But almost all of them indicated a love for music. AMC claims that one out of every six persons in the country plays some sort of musical gad get. Therefore, Congress is well ahead of the national everage. Instruments played by con gressmen include violins, banjos, mandolins, pianos, trombones, clarinets, trumpets, saxophones, Helicopter Shakes Dew From Blooms Carlsbad, Calif. U.R) A new use for the versatile helicopter has been found by flower grow ers here. It is shaking the dew off the blooms. Water that collect on flowers before they are packed for dis tant markets tends to cause rot in shipment. Before use of a helicopter was thought of crews of workers went through the fields each morning shaking each flower by hand. Now the one-man heli copter flies over the field only two feet in the air, and the wind shake several rows at a time. Farmers report less damage from the helicopter than was done by the workers. Lone Man Enrolled In Home Economies Brookings, S.D. U.R) Ste phen Knutson, a freshman from Pipestone,- Minn., is the only man enrolled in the division of home economics at South Da kota State college. "The isolated status is no both er," said Steve. "The girls are gradually getting used to me. "Seriously, more men should enroll in a course similar to the one I am taking. The educational facilities here are good, and there is a fine future In this field."

COLLINS Plaintiffs' Attorney in? East Main Street i Medford, Orefoa - J piccolos, organs and the harmon ica. Many congressmen said the other members of their families also play musical instruments. One even mentinoed bagpipes. Gathering around the family at night is a habit with a lot of the makers of the law, who shed coats, open collars and go back to the old days with hymns and modern tunes. Value of Music AMC reports that some con gressmen commented on the value of music. Rep. John M. Robinson Jr. (R-Ky.) said, for example: "My enjoyment of music is one of the most important factors in the pleasure I have gotten out of life." Rep. William S. Hill (R-Colo.) said music "fosters cooperation among individuals and advances community developments." Emanuel Celler, Democratic representative from New York, plays the piano and violin be cause "I can lose myself in the playing." Sen. S t u a r, t Symington CD Mo.) said he and his family en joy music and added: "I believe the more music there is in any home or community, the better for both." Family Council D. K.: Poor Marian fell in love with me. Mrs. D. K.: That kind of girl doesn't deserve any sympathy. D.K. Five years ago, before I was married I met and fell in love with my best friend's sister. I am sorry to say I urged her to have sex relations with me. It was entirely my fault and I have felt guilty about it ever since, for I believe she really fell in love with me and has been un able to become interested in an other man ever since. I told my wife about this epi sode before we were married and she was very quick to blame Marian for the whole thing. Mar ian is really a very sweet girl and I would like to have her visit- our home and meet some of my friends, but my wife will not hear of it. I have assured my wife that I have no interest in Marian, ex cept that I feel a certain respon sibility for her because she was only 17 at that time and I was old enough to have known better than to seduce a really nice girl. Mrs. D.K. This "really nice girl" makes moon eyes at my husband and every other man she sees. Any girl who permits herself "seduced" at 17 is a pretty poor specimen of woman kind in my opinion. My husband calls me a prude, but as far as I'm concerned that kind of girl doesn't deserve the slightest sympathy. I can't see any reason why I should go out of my way to make her comfortable in my home and introduce her to my friends so that she can make play for them or my husband. The Council: D. K.'s sugges tion is preposterous and his wife is entirely right in refusing to invite this girl to their home Unfortunately, she is right in the wrong way. The comments with which she accompanies her refusal are unnecessarily harsh, and better calculated to chal lenge her husband than to con vince him. Assuming that the pre-marital affair was entirely his fault, that is, an extreme case of seduction, it is certainly dangerous for him now to tiefriend her and to keep crossing her path. On the other hand, if this girl has been to any degree at fault, it is quite pos sible that she may exploit her opportunities as a visitor to their home to upset the home and mar riage. It is understandable that D. K. should be eager to appease his conscience, but he should take care lest he impose new burdens on his conscience in placing him self in the direct path of tempta tion. The "certain responsibility" he thinks he feels towards this girl must not be permitted to detract from the responsibility he owes his wife. If this girl managed to bear up at the tender age of 17 when the mischief took place, she surely should be able to get along without his peculiar and doubtful interest now that she is 22.

Under the price advance, the milk producer is scheduled to receive about 60 per cent of the additional cost and the distribu tor about 40 per cent. The penney-per-quart boost was brought on by rising labor costs and adverse weather condi tions that have nearly forced many dairymen out of business, spokesmen for the association said.
