State Federation of Labor Lists $4,519 In Campaign Monies Smith Speaks at Idaho Graduation Caldwell, Ida (U.R) A spir itual re-awakening in the world today is making people every where aware of something they actually never forgot, that it takes greater truths than science can provide to nourish their souls.

"For a time there was a great tendency to pay homage to sci ence as the shaper of our des tiny. Today there is a spiritual re-awakening in the world. Peo ple everywhere are again realiz ing something they actually nev er forgot that while science stimulates mens' minds, it takes greater truths to nourish their souls." Gov.

Body of Missing Hiker Found in Yosemite Crevice Yosemite, Calif. flJ.R) The body of a hiker missing for five days in Yosemite National Park was spotted today by a helicop ter pilot in a treacherous crevice east of Yosemite Point Couloir. Chief Ranger Oscar Sedergren reported Dr. Robert Franklin Johnson. 28, apparently fell to his death while attempting to descend the sheer mile-high wall. "If possible," Sedergren said, "we'll remove the body. It's going to be a tough and time con suming job to get him out of there." Helicopter pilot Edward Kohls of Stockton, Calif., located John son on his second flight over the area. He was ordered to the scene after footprints were dis covered on the rim of the wall late Friday. Climbing Experts Sedergren said the body was jammed into the crevice about 200 or 300 yards below a point where rangers had roped down ward in a preliminary descent after uncovering the tracks. They were to be aided in the re moval operation by six Sierra Club climbing experts. Johnson, son of Franklin P. Johnson, a University of Chicago archeology professor, vanished Sunday after informing a com panion he planned a three-hour hike on the wall between Indian and Yosemite creeks. Rangers and valunteers strug gled for four days in a ledge by ledge search of the wall before the footprints were located at the rim of Yosemite Valley. There is no established trail in the area where Johnson made his hike. - Johnson had been an intern at San Francisco County Hos pital for the past 11 months. Sunday, June 3, 1956 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THREE The Family Council Editor's Note: Tb Family Council conitstg of a Jodce. ft psychiatrist, a newspaper editor, a women's pace editor and two newspaper writers. These consult with clerrrmen of all faith and denominations. All letters are held In complete confidence- Clara I fear his fickleness. Gone I realize it's my weak- Clare My husband. Gene, left me three years ago because of another woman. For two long, lonesome years I waited for him to return, shutting myself off from my family, who were ready to say "I told you so," and from my friends, who want ed me to forget Gene and meet other, men. - - ' -' About a year ago, 'the lone- someness got too much, for me and I began to -date. As a mar ried woman who had been aban doned by her husband, I was in the most awkward position. Three men in succession seemed to take it for granted that they could expect , to take liberties with me, merely because as a married woman I was accepting their company. I finally met a man who Meat Inspection Findings Listed Salem (U.R) Findings in the completed first round of the Oregon pilot meat inspection program, released Saturday, show less than one-half of one per cent of the animals checked before and after slaughter were condemned. Percentagewise, this figure is in line with federal condemna tions nationally, according to Dr. Rolla Sexauer, assistant state vet erinarian who is supervising field operations. The report covered the period from Sept. 16, 1955 to May 25, 1956. Sexauer said the pilot crews started a second round of inspec tions Thursday in the Salem area. He said the State Agricul ture department was particular ly interested in comparing re sults on the second round, with findings on the first inspection. On a live-animal basis, the re port showed inspections in the 1 106 plants entered totaled 12,- ! 310, with four cattle and five . sheep condemned. . I In the 12,301 after slaughter inspections 54 whole carcasses were condemned. The rejections were 22 cattle, two calves, 13 sheep and 18 swine.

He maintains a home with his wife because of a child, but he is as separated in every other respect as he could be. He is urging me to free myself and he will do the same if I give him- any encour agement. Now that I have at last found some hope, I have heard from my husband. He wants me to take him back. He says that he is thoroughly disillusioned about the woman for whom he left me and that he now -realizes how much I mean to him. I have not yet told him that I am interested in another man because I am afraid that will antagonize him and prevent my getting a di vorce. I am afraid to take him back, because I fear his fickleness. Gene 1 know myself much better now than before I left my wife. I allowed physical attrac tion to get the best of me. , but I never felt that I was doing the right thing. I continued to send my wife money for her sup port and I waited a long time after my dissillusionment to get in touch with my wife, because I feared I was no good for her. I think I understand now that I am. a very susceptible person and cannot trust myself. If Clare takes me back, I will be eternal ly grateful. The Council: Clare would make a tragic blunder if she re jected her penitent husband, who is a rare person in knowing and acknowledging his great weak ness. He should, however, be in formed by his wife of the other man's interest in her. He needs to know how very close he came to losing his wife, and he needs to know that she, too, has feel ings that must be considered. , Glare and Gene now have an opportunity to deal with each other on the basis of mutual un derstanding and to rebuild and maintain a fine marriage. All marriages are in more or less danger of waywardness, but this marriage can be placed in the happy category of having over come that danger. . We think this couple should try again, on the basis of a full and candid discussion of their problem in all its aspects. Gene is obviously no perfect husband, but he is trying to be honest with himself. That quality is too valuable to be thrown away.
