Mrs. N.B.R. He wants to marry
a waitress.
Jimmy I prefer her to college
co-eds.
Mrs. N.B.H. 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.

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.
