Mrs. H.L.M Our daughter Janice has frightened us with the kind of marriage she wants to make. She has always beer, very glamor-conscious, fussing about clothes and dates and reading all the stage, movie and TV news. Now, quite suddenly she wants to marry a young man just out of the Army who intends to run a small farm in another part of the country. She met this boy while visit ing her brother at an Army camp. The two boys were friend ly and, before I knew it, the young man and Janice had be come close friends. He is very handsome and I can understand the attraction. But Janice hasn't the least idea of Around Hollywood By ALiNE MOSBY United Press Correspondent Hollywood (U.R) On an NBC-TV rehearsal stage, a handsome actress patted her black cane and smiled, "For what I've gained, I'd go through all of this again." Fans of vet eran screen and stage ac tress Marjorie Rambeau did Aline Mosby not realize her legs were damaged In an auto mobile accident 11 years ago until her life was aired on TV's sentimental show, "This Is Your Life." Today the actress told how she's managed to build a new career and continue to act de spite her cane and specially-built shoes. Her handicap, she thinks, actually has improved her life. Something Lacking "Before the accident some thing was lacking in my life," she reflected. "I had reached the peak of my profession but an understanding of life was missing. Now I have it." Miss Rambeau was injured in 1945 and was "in ghastly pain." After several operations doctors told her she would never walk without crutches. Director Irving Rapper In duced her to return to the screen in "Forever Female." She ap peared in "Torch Song" sitting on a couch. She started "A Man Called Peter" on crutches but was so moved by one of Richard Todd's sermons that she walked without them during a scene. The actress refuses to let her handicap spoil any jobs for her. She merely informs the director she won't be able to "run up stairs or anything like that." For her role on the Lux Video Thea ter tonight she uses a wheel chair as part of her characteriza tion. Photos Restricted But I refused to have any publicity photos of me taken in Supplement to Brand Book Ready June 4 Salem The first supplement to the 1955 Oregon livestock brand book will be available June 4, Roy K. Nelson, brand in spection supervisor for the state department of agriculture who directed the supplement's com pilation, has announced. A total of 1000 new brands recorded with the "department between March 1, 1955, and Jan. 1, 1956, are included in the sup plement, bringing the grand total of Oregon brands recorded with the department to 12,500, with no two identical.

Acting has helped her morale because "before I had the idea my accident was shameful." "I would try to hide my crutch. I was so embarrassed when I would stumble. I was ashamed of my shoes," she said. "Returning to acting gave me confidence. Now I have much more tolerance for people. When I ask them, 'How are you?' I mean it now. "Next thing you know, "they'll have me swinging from a trap eze. Nothing will stop me," she said firmly. Linfield Increases PS Major Study Area McMinnville Political science department of Linfield college in McMinville has been raised to a major area of study by action of the college curri culom committee and faculty. Department chairman is Dr. Geraldine Garlick who came to Linfield in 1955 from the Uni versity of Iowa. The major consists of 24 hours in political science, six hours of the principles of economics and at least one course in the fields of history and sociology. Majors are also encouraged to take courses In the fields of philos ophy, psychology and business administration. Four new courses have been added to the curriculum in the political science field. They are constitutional law, political par ties, Congress, and public admin istration. Other courses included in the major field are American gov ernment and citizenship, state and local government, develop ment of international relations, development of political thought, comparative govern ment and introduction to inter national law. the kind of life she would have to lead on a small farm. I'm afraid it would be tragic for both of them, but Janice will not listen to reason. Janice It is my mother who will not listen to reason. I know what I am doing. My fiance is no peasant. He has had a year in agricultural college and in tends to finish. He saved his money in the Army and he al so has a little his grandfather left him. He has ideas for run ning his farm and for an outside business associated with it, and I will be able to help him with the clerical work. I know I am not cut out to be a farm field worker, but that Is not the kind of girl my fiance wants. He is the politest, the kindest and the most charming gentleman I have ever known, and I think he will give me the life I want. The Council: Janice's mother is allowing herself to be fright ened by the word farm Things have changed a great deal in the past generation. Nowa days, a great many farms have all the convenience of a good city home, and an easier, more relaxed home atmosphere. Janice's fiance evidently is no mere farm laborer. He would ap pear to be an ambitious, intelli gent and imaginative person, capable of making Janice a hap py and thoughtful husband. It is a mistake to assume that a girl who yearns for glamour must forever confine herself to city streets. Sometimes this childhood trait can be one of several possible expressions of dissatisfaction with the ordinary and routine. The prospect of a fine modern farm and an associated business may now have more glamor for Janice than the movie stars had in her childhood. Mrs. RJL.M. is right in being suspicious of here physical at traction. That can certainly mis lead young people. In this case, however, the anxious mother should consider some of the words Janice uses in describing her fiance: "politest, kindest and most charming gentleman no peasant he saved his money he has ideas ". Janice really does seem to know what she's found and what she wants. (Copyright 1956, General Features Corp.) Crushed in Accident Sandy (U.R) A Sandy log ging operator, taking the place of an employee whom he had given the day off to get mar ried, was crushed to death Mon day afternoon eight miles south east of Sandy. Richard John Maronay, 44, had stopped to check a load of logs he was hauling when appar ently the brake on his tractor slipped. The tractor rolled back, pulling Maronay into the ma chine, crushing him between the truck and the cab. PERFECT! it's pars cane! ptfvjfcjj Strategic Singapore Colony Moves Toward Freedom Washington Singapore, the sprawling City of the Lion, com mands one of the world's strate gic crossroads. Ships of all maritime nations pass in the busy Strait of Singa pore where seas meet at the southernmost tip of Asia, mid way between India and China. The city itself stands on a pleas ant green island of 220 square miles dangling like a diamond shaped pendant from the main land. This location has brought trade and vast wealth to the city. As heart of the British Crown Colony of Singapore, the hot and humid seaport presents a British facade. Men in sun-drenched white play cricket on a water front green, near pillard govern ment buildings and Vizcorian business houses. However, the colony has been moving rapidly toward self-rule in recent years. Now it seeks full independence. Behind its staid facade, the city pulses with Oriental life. Al though geographically a part of the Malay Peninsula, to which the island is attached by a cause way, the city has always Deen overwhelmingly Chinese. Among some 830,000 residents, four out of five trace their ancestry to China. There are miles of streets with small Chinese shops displaying fine jade and porcelain curios. Fluttering flaglike above the sidewalks are numerous family washes hanging from bamboo window poles. Cosmopolitan' is the word for Singapore. The passing parade includes Malay policemen, bVnd Europeans, dark - eyed Indian schoolgirls in vivid saris, bur-noose-swathed Arabs, Pakistanis in white fezzes, and petite Euras ian stenographers wearing chic western clothes. But there has been little fusion of races. Each retains its own language, customs and re ligious practices, a fact which often gives visitors the sensation of being in several cities at the same time. In Singapore's popular amuse ment parks Happy World, Great World and New World Development Group Studying Plan for Wood Utilization Portland The Oregon Devel opment commission announced today it is working on a wood utilization plan that could bene fit the state's economy by mil lions of dollars. The plan should help small and medium sized lumber mills to realize higher log utilization while encouraging a- sharp in crease in pulp and paper produc tion, according to ODC Chair man Joseph W. Smith of Port land. Steps in the plan include: Institute Studies (1) Stanford Research institute studies in six Oregon areas to determine if sufficient wood res idue and water are present to attract pulp and paper opera tions. (2) In areas where these two ingredients of paper-making are found in adequate quantities, the commission will seek to bloc to gether small and medium sized lumber mills and sign them to long-term contracts. These agree ments would guar-.ntee to pro pective pulp and paper mills the chipping materials they would need in lieu of sizeable tracts of standing timber. (3) The ODC would then seek to induce outside pulp and paper interests to locate in the areas. Smith explained that the pro gram would help the lumber mills to reduce their raw mate rials costs and get into a stronger competitive position in the log market. Such mills are feeling the pinch because of the decreas ing supplies of timber to which they have access, it was pointed out. Smith disclosed thet the com mission already has obtained preliminary data on one of the six areas under consideration and that three eastern pulp and paper concerns "have expressed a lively interest in our findings." The ODC chairman added: "Results of the SRI studies are expected to touch off the com mission's greatest organizational and promotion job to date a job that bids well to add a bright page to the story of Oregon's development."

Pride of the East", Tradition says a Malay city of importance once stood on the tropical isle. It was called Sing apura, Sanskrit for City of the Lion. Javanese warriors are said to have put the city to sword in the 14th century, spilling a river of blood. Only a pirate-haunted, jungle village remained when Sir Stam ford Raffles landed in 1819. The far-sighted young employee of the East India Company recog nized the potential of the mag nificent harbor and persuaded the Sultan of Johore, who owned the island, to let him set up a trading post. On the fringe of a steaming mangrove swamp Raffles found ed his city, a free port "open to all ships and vessels or every nation." He envisioned Singa pore as the "emporium and pride of the East." Singapore grew and prospered as Malaya's riches chiefly rub ber and tin poured through its natural gateway to the world. Skyscrapers and housing proj ects are changing the complex ion of Singapore but the old flavor remains. Blending as one, the aromas of incense, Turkish coffee, fragrant tea, spices, curry and heavily ripe bananas send Singapore's own special perfume across the ship-filled harbor.
