The Family Council E41tort Not: Tht Family Council consist! of a Jadre. a psychiatrist. svipaprr editor, a women i page editor and two newspaper wrltera. These consult with clergymen ot all faiths and denominations. All letters are held us conipicH commence. Mr. J.T.W. Into her shell. J.T.WI can't afford board ing school. Mri. J.T.W. Our two older children, both girls, are proving quite a problem to each other, The younger one is much more aggressive than the older one and is always stealing the spot light from her. The older one as a result, Is crawling into her shell and living in a world of her own. I have tried very hard to tone down the younger girl by ex plaining things to her. She some times seems to make an effort to keep out of her sister's way, but this self-restraint does not last long. The first time we have visitors at the house, the younger one breaks out of her restraint and takes the limelight. The younger girl is now 15 and she has been going out with boys for more than a year. She Is always complaining about her Bids Opened on BPA Construction Work Portland U.R) Bonneville Power administration opened bids Friday for construction work on two sections of the J. D. Ross-St. Johns-Keeler 230,000 volt transmission line and a 113, 000 volt tie line at Keeler sub station. Apparent low bid at $159,972 was submitted by Pittijohn En gineering company of Portland. The work Includes construction of 7.5 miles of transmission line In the St. Johns-Keeler section, completion of clearing on 900 feet of right of way and tower work on the Ross-St. Johns No. 2 section, and tower and stringing work on the .1 mile Keeler tie line. Completion and energization of the J. D. Ross-Keeler 230,000 Volt transmission line and the 115,000 volt terminal facilities at Keeler substation, scheduled for next October, will relieve heavy loadings at Ross and St. Johns substations and provide new 115,000 volt service inter connections at Keeler for Port land General Electric and Pacif ic Power and Light. Keeler substation, located just off the Sunset highway west of Portland, will serve as the ter minus for future high-capacity transmission lines from The Dal les dam and serve Northwest Portland and upper Willamette valley load centers. Posted Ratio May Be Used in Comparison Personal property taxpayers In Jackson county can use' the assessor's posted ratio to com pare the assessed value of their property with a market or. true cash value, according to Samuel B. Stewart, commissioner in charge of the valuation division of the state tax commission. He pointed out that simple di vision of the assessed value by the posted ratio will test the validity of the personal prop erty assessment. For example, if a merchant has 810,000 of merchandise in ventory, the assessed value should be $3,000 under the 30 per cent ratio posted for Jack son county. Any major deviation from this amount would disclose an irreg ular assessement and would en title the taxpayer to appeal the assessment to the county board of equalization which meets on Monday, Stewart explained. Pet itions of appeal must be filed before May 19 to be heard be fore the board. Petitions are av ailable in the county clerk's of fice and must be filed In that office. She's crawled I lack of success with bovs. but her older sister at 18 has yet to have her first date. Whatever disappointment and resentment she may have, she keeps bottled up inside of her. I feel so desperate about this situation that I have suggested to my husband that we send the younger girl away to a boarding school for a year so that our other daughter may have chance to come out of herself. My husband refuses to listen to this suggestion, and I do not know what else we can do. J.T.W With two boys, both younger than the girls, to pro vide for I do not see how we can afford the luxury of a board ing school. It is out of the ques tion. Besides, I am afraid that this would make our problem worse. It would give the younger girl another advantage over her sister and widen the gap between them. I feel that my wife could solve this problem if she did more planning ahead to interest our older daughter and to build her personality. The Council: It is practically useless to quarrel with a family budget, and it would only ag gravate the tensions in this fam ily if the budget were strained to send the younger girl to a boarding school. Whether she came to feel privileged on that account or whether she saw through the ruse and came to resent it, she would not be brought closer to her sister by this experience. An older sister should not feel helpless because of the compe tition of a younger sister. Evi dently, the parents In this case failed to provide the older girl with compensations to balance whatever advantages the young er sister enjoyed. If the older gif 1 is too reserved to confide in her parents, it be comes necessary for the parents to draw her out by demonstrat ing their interest in her. This sometimes requires subtle and indirect approaches. These par ents could be helped enormously by an outsider who had the op portunity to observe this family on an informal basis. It is very much to be doubted if this maladjustment can be cured simply by toning down the younger girl or sending her away. The problem goes much deeper than that and entails the relationship between the older girl and the parents. Somewhere along the line, this girl got to feel that. her parents were not close enough to her. (Copy-tight 195B. General Feature Corp.) flicks Promoted in Forest Service Vernon E.

Ellsworth Speaks At Mock Convention Pullman. Wash. U.R) Congressman Harris Ellsworth (R-Ore.). kicked up Washington State College's first mock polit ical convention here Friday night. In his speech to WSC students taking part in the convention, he called the Eisenhower adminis tration one of "peace, prosperity and contentment.' "America is looking to the fu ture with new confidence . be cause of the accomplishments of the Eisenhower administration in the past 3V4 years," he said. During his talk at the bi-par tisan student convention the del egation from Missouri walked out. Ellsworth delivered a bitter attack on what he termed a gi gantic "brainwashing" project initiated by the Democrats. He said: "No matter who the Dem ocrats nominate if they can stay together long enough in their thinking to nominate any one he will not be .able to campaign on the record of the Truman administration." Ellsworth said the Democrats would like to forget that. The Oregon Republican call ed the GOP party the "trua par ty of the people"" and the nation today is enjoying an unheralded real-money prosperity.

Chamber Agricultural Committee Votes for Genessee Route Here The agricultural committee of the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce last week voted to recommend to the board of di rectors that it advocate the so called Genessee route for a pro posed new highway freeway in the Medford area. The committee, in its written report to the board, pointed out that it had considered the matter only from the standpoint of the agricultural factors involved. It did not consider the relative ad vantages and disadvantages of the two proposed routes based on other considerations. The Genesee route cuts through the lower east side of Medford. The Hillcrest route skirts the eastern city limits. A decision on which route will be chosen will be made by the state highway commission following a public hearing here May 24. Asked to Make Study The chamber board has asked its highway committee to make a further study, and report back to a special meeting to be called before the public hearing.

The agricultural committee listed four reasons for its recommendation: ' 1. The Hillcrest route would j divide valuable economic orch-: ard units into economically un feasible parcels of land; 2. This route would create additional or chard operation difficulties on divided units with respect to ir-1 rlgation and the lack of access from one unit to the other with equipment for spraying, prun ing, cultivating, etc.; 3. The right of way creates an addition al loss of acreage involving 50 feet of working space for equip ment on either side of the 200 foot by-pass right of way; 4.
