My husband and I have made difficult sacrifices to send our boy, Jimmy, through college. Now that he has got a start in life on a good job with good prospects, he has met up with a girl who may ruin his life. This girl is pretty enough, but I don't see how she can do any thing but hurt Jimmy. Certainly she will be no asset to him. She is only a waitress, and I hate to think what my friends will say behind my back after all the sacrifices we have made to im prove the lot of our family. Jimmy My mother takes an impossible attitude. Clara is not only a pretty girl, but bright, intelligent and good in every way. I have dated college girls who did not possess half her in telligence, let alone her looks and her charm. She is a waitress because she is too smart to knock herself out working as a low-paid clerk In an office. She works in one of the better downtown restaurants and, probably because she is so attractive and pleasing, she gets good tips. She has a flexible ar rangement whereby she can get time off and put on extra time, depending on her neeas. sne makes much more money than office girls, and she meets inter esting people among her custo mers. I met her the first time I went to this restaurant with my boss. He thinks the world of her, as does everyone else who knows her, but my mother is prejudiced and she has influenced my father to feel the same way. I know she is the girl for me because I have seen a great deal of her at work as well as on dates, and I know oh i thp kind of eirl who is na turally pleasant and could pre side over the best home with great charm. The Council: Jimmy's parents should feel reassured by the nature of the defense he offers for Clara. He does not sound at all like a bewitched young man whose vision is beclouded by physical attraction. On the con trary, he seems to see this girl rather clearly, and he seems to have good values. There are many nice girls who would rather be waitresses than be confined to a desk. Where a girl cannot enjoy the economy of living with parents or friends, she may well find a clerical job in its earlier stages entirely too low-paid. In a choice restaurant, a good waitress may earn much more money. Certainly, occupation should not be the sole basis for judging a person. Mrs. N.B.R. obviously is too influenced by snob-appeal, or she would not be worrying about what her friends may say behind her back. Perhaps Jimmy can change his mother's peculiar attitude by bringing his boss into the picture. Since he admires Clara, any sign to that effect would probably impress this overly class-conscious mother. The fact that Jimmy is able to compare this girl favorably with some of the college girls he has dated is a demonstration that he has learned something by going to college, and 'that he rises above his mother's petty and foolish standards. (COPYRIGHT 1956. GENERAL FEATURES CORP.) Atforney General Rules on Reports Salem (U.R) Attorney General Robert Y. Thornton said yesterday it was proper for re ports of the State Board of Par ole and Probation to be intro duced in court when the court was considering circumstances in aggravation or mitigation of punishment after conviction. The opinion further noted that the circumstances to be consid ered included matters other than those attendant to the commis sion of the crime itself. Thorn ton pointed out, however, that whfre there was a record of prior felonies, the punishment to be mitigated or aggravated was that prescribed by the habitual rriminal statutes. The defendant must consent to use of the report and have an opporunity to examine its con tents, Thornton said.
