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

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

Mrs. R. T. She resents our

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.

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.

water, White Rock water, Can
ada Dry water. Capon Springs
water. Mineral Springs water.
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.
