v.. EIGHT MEDTOHD (OREGON) Liking for Mineral Water Is Noted in Senatorial Circles By A. ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Correspondent Washington As Republican and Democratic senators debate whether President Eisenhower's PrTf7TTT illness will r h a n a th f it J p r e s i dential I 1 campaign out look this year, senators of both parties are talcing stern precau tions to see that their own a. Kobe bmiui health is good enough for the hard campaigns this fall. Virtually to a man, the sen ators are guzzling gallons of mineral water at guess-whose-expense? for reasons that cover the range of idiosyncracies in this august deliberating body. . Like Tails Many senators claim they just like the taste of it. Others doubt less are assured by the labels on The Family Editor's Note: The Family Council consist of a Judge, m psychiatrist, ft newspaper editor, a women's page editor and two newspaper writers. These consult with clergymen of all faiths and denominations. All letters are held in complete coniiaence. Mrs. R. T. She resents our efforts. Leonora I don't want to be bargained away. Mrs. R. T. My daughter, Leo nora, is 32 and has never mar ried. When she was younger she was very choosy and discouraged the young men who seemed in terested. She still seems to have the same attitude, although she tells us that she would like to be married and would not turn down any suitable man. My husband recently had a heart attack and he now seems almost desperate to have Leo nora married. He has been prod ding me about it, and I have with the help of a friend managed to Rickreall Farmer jeefs lo Highway Dallas, Ore. (U.R) An em battled Rickerall farmer sat down in front of an earth-moving machine near here Friday and refused to allow road build ers to proceed with the high way project that would cut across his farm. Joe Harland refused to budge when crews of Babler Bros, con tracting firm attempted to move across his mile-long access road. Although Harland's appeal o, his anti - highway commission case to the state Supreme Court has not yet been decided, he said the construction crews had piled dfrt and barbed wire across his access road. The highway project, part of a cutoff route on Highway 22 to the coast, slices diagonally across Harland's farm. He has asked for an injunction against the State Highway Commission, claiming that, it has acted capriciously in selecting the cut off route. He has steadfastly re fused to allow highway crews to trespass on his access road until the Supreme Court reaches a de cision on his injunction peti tion. Some Stale Judges Favor Chemical Tests Salem (U.R) A good num. ber of Oregon judges think per sons suspected of driving while intoxicated should be required to submit to a chemical test for intoxication. The State Traffic 1 Safety Commission reported Saturday that 91 of 155 judges answering a questionnaire favored requir ing the test. Now such tests can be given only with the written consent of the suspect. The judges felt the chemical tests provided the only accurate measurement of intoxication and were the only way to pre vent difference of opinion of what constitutes intoxication. Several of the judges thought the tests would protect the in nocent' as well as help convict the guilty, but some questioned Its constitutionality. Injuries From Horse Fall Fatal to Girl Salem (U.R) An 11-year-old Salem girl who i?M from a horse Thursday died at a Salem hospital Friday. The victim, Judith Cates, was injured when her galloping horse collided with a mail box. She" was thrown to the ground, fracturing her skull. Survivors include her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ray Cates, two sisters, and her grandparents. Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Follis, all of Salem. Going to college this fall?

MAIL TRIBUNE the big jugs that claim certain curative powers for the bottled water which is available to all of them free of charge. Whatever their reasons, the senators keep the secretary of the Senate busy writing orders to local suppliers who haul it into the Capitol by the caseload. And, according to his annual re port, the secretary paid mineral water bills this past year which added up to $5,419.18 worth of thirst quenching. When a senator is relaxing after a long speech, he can re tire to the cloakroom which is about the only spot on Capitol Hill that is off-limits to gum shoeing newsmen, buttonholing lobbyists and visiting constitu ents who just want to shake hands. And there the tired law makers can order up their favor ite drink of water. Hard liquor is strictly taboo. Favorite Waler Their tastes run to such brands as Poland water, Kalak Council arouse a man's interest in my daughter. This man is a widower with a daughter in college, but he is youthful looking and would be able to provide my daughter with a good home. Leonora, al though assuring me that she is anxious to be married, is bitter over tne thought that something is being arranged for her. She says that she wants a man who would pursue here, and she ar gues that she would rather never be married than have her par ents manipulate a man for her. I am at my wits' end. When we were patient and did not take the initiative, nothing hap pened. Now that we are trying to do something, she resents our efforts. e e Leonora I do not resent help fulness, but the fact is that my parents have never understood my position and are not able to help me. They do not know any young men who might be Inter ested in me or whom I might be interested in. They have never done anything to widen my ac quaintanceship. When I was growing up they never mixed with other people. Since they did not have friends, I never had the opportunity of meeting the children of theif friends. Now they are trying to nego tiate me away, as if I were so much merchandise. I have no set ideas or detailed specifica tions about a man, but I want to feel that courtship and mar riage are more than a cheap bar ter. The Council: Leonora has an understandable grievance. Par ents owe it to their children to try to maintain a normal social life. If the parents lack a circle of friendship, the children may also suffer the same lack. Leonora, however, reacts too sharply to matchmaking. Re gardless of a girl's age, or a man's age there is nothing basi cally wrong with parental match making, provided it is carried out with thoughtful moderation and good taste. Perhaps the par ents have been a bit crude in this instance. But Leonora should realize that a marriage proposal can be a sincere and entirely personal thing, even if the first meeting was contrived bjparents or others. It would be a wonderful thing if parental matchmaking could become a general practice, pro vided, of course, that it could be done on a high plane of good sense and good taste. Many a tragedy might be averted if par ents would bestir themselves in this direction instead of "allow ing nature to take its course." "Nature" is more likely to mismate people than would be the case if people of good judg ment were to take a hand. (Copyright 1956, General Features Corp.) all you do is CALL.

But the big favorite is Mountain Valley spring water. The irony of the fact that as much Mountain Valley water goes down the throats of the sol ons as all other brands is found in the fact that not long ago the Food and Drug- Administration went to court with a charge that Mountain Valley's claims for its water were "false and mislead ing." FDA was referring to the lab els on the bottles which suggest that by downing eight glasses of Mountain Valley spring water every day one is getting an ef fective treatment for kidney dis orders, arthritis, rheumatism, nervousness and many other ail ments. Judicial Notice If the Senate took judicial notice of this complaint by one of the federal agencies it had established to protect the great American consumer, it didn't show up in the cloakroom, where the senators didn't vary from their taste for Mountain Valley. Last month, after much legal jockeying, the government lost the case labeled "United States of America vs. 353 cases, more or less, of Mountain Valley spring water, and attached pamphlets. The decision was rendered in the U.S. court at Hot Springs, Ark. but whether it meant that the senators' favorite is really an effective cure-all or that its advertising is not really "false and misleading," is not clear. Lawmakers Vindicated In any case, the lawmakers feel vindicated. This custom, which goes back as far as anyone can recall, does not apply to the members of the House of Representatives. The congressmen, who have to keep fit for campaigning every two years instead of every six, must be content with regular city water which comes from the nearby Potomac river. After hearing ail the fuss that has been raised here about the polluted condition of the Poto mas, perhaps this is just one more reason why most members of the House aspire to a seat in the U.S. Senate and the priv ilege of free spring water that goes with it. Klamath Indians Ask Reservation Closed Portland (U.R) A delega tion of Klamath Indians Satur day asked the. Oregon Game commission to close their reser vation .to all hunting by non tribal members. Boyd Jackson, a spokesman for the tribe, said that since jurisdiction of law enforcement over the reservation had passed from federal to state hands the Indians no longer could count on the federal government to enforce laws against trespass. Criminal trespass laws can not be enforced because Indian lands are not fenced as required by Oregon trespass laws. Jackson described the pro posed closure as a protection against fire. He said- "our for ests are our income and our last resource." The commission promised to study the request. Portland Hotel Fire Routs 100 Guests Portland (U.R) A two alarm fire broke out in the four story Foster hotel here early Saturday .but some 100 guests escaped.-without injury.
