I am shocked by my daughter's friend. Jill R. She's not an im moral girl. Mrt. T. R. I recently got the shock of my life when I learned from a letter left open on my daughter's desk that her best giri friend has been having in. timate relations with a young man at the college they all at tend. I confronted my daughter with this and she became furious with me for "sneaking around her things. I told her I didn t sneak, but was merely curious and could never suspect this girl would do such things, much less write about them in a letter to my daughter. When I demanded that Jill give up this friend, she told me to mind my own business and said she would do exactly as she pleased. I am nearly frantic because I feel this girl, whom Jill has always admired, will be a terrible influence on her if she hasn't been already. Jill R. I am 21 years old and I'm not going to have my mother dictating my friends. Neither will I stand for her in specting my mail. If I can't have privacy I'm going to leave home as soon as I get out of school. My friend happens to be a very fine girl. She and her boy friend are very much in love and plan to be married, but they cannot be married for another year or two. She is not an im moral girl. I don't say that what Lucille is doing is right. In fact, I had advised her against it and that is why she wrote to me about it. My mother thinks I am a little girl, who can be swayed by any body. She doesn't realize I am not such a namby-pamby. I still like and admire my friend and will not give her up for my mother's sake. Th Councils Mrs. T. R. put herself in the wrong from the Damages Sought in Husband's Drowning Portland U.F) Mrs. Mabel St. Dennis has filed suit in Fed eral court here for $150,800 damages in connection with the drowning of her husband last month in the Coos river near Coos Bay. She named Weyer haeuser Timber company de fendant in the action. Mrs. St. Dennis said her hus band was helping clear a sub merged log jam in the flooded river when it overturned. His body has not been recovered. She asked $100,000 for loss of her husband and $50,800 for the mental shock she said she suf fered. She asserted she suffered a heart attack when she saw his boat submerged and has been left an invalid. start of this affair by reading her daughter's mail. Even if it was open, the privacy or a per sonal letter should be respected. Mrs. T. R. also put herself in the wrong by "demanding" that Jill give up her friend. She should realize she can't win with such tactics. A nearly indepen dent 21-year-old rebels against demands but might be open to advice and persuasion. Jill, on the other hand, ought to realize that although her mother made an error in eti quette and tactics, she is not wrong in principle. Jill feels very cocksure in her new ma turity and independence, but she is probably far more open to influence than she realizes. . One reason she is open to in fluence is that she is still un certain on questions of morality. She denies that her friend is "immoral," yet admits she can't say that what Lucille is doing "is right." Unfortunately, both statements can't be true. Her friend is doing either right or wrong. Because she likes her friend, Jill does not .want to call her "immoral." Jill cannot whole heartedly censure the action be cause of the person and is, there fore, already somewhat influ enced. The action has probably already taken on a somewhat different color in her mind from the one it had formerly. Since the matter has been opened, Jill and her mother ought to discuss it more fully in a rational spirit. If Mrs. T. R. talks to Jill tactfully and makes no demands, she'll probably find the girl somewhat disillu sioned by her friend and willing to give her up as long as she can keep her pride and do it of her own free will.

Baby Born on Plane, Mother 'Doing Nicely' Honolulu (U.R) A mother and her son born in an airliner over the Pacific were doing "fine" today at Honolulu's Ka piolani hospital. The mother, Mrs. Lillian Palen. 26, and the son, Jerry Linn Palen. were rushed to the hospital as soon as their Trans ocean Air Lines plane landed Tuesday at Honolulu. Mrs. Palen gave birth to the baby 579 miles from Honolulu while Dr. Robert Ho messaged instructions from tne Honolulu airport control tower to steward esses Alice Martinez. Oakland, Calif., and Lorraine Mikosh, San Francisco. Mrs. Palen suggested that the stewardesses pick a name for the baby. "Alice and I named him Jerry Linn." said Miss Mikosh. "Mrs. Palen was very happy with it." Mrs. Palen's doctor had clear ed her for the flight. The baby was not expected until next month. Contestant Flunks $64,000 Question New York (U.R) A Cali fornia truck driver and a Scot tish peer received consolation prizes on "The $64000 Question" television quiz program Tues day night. Alfred A. Einfrank, 56. Los Angeles, flunked on a $64,000 "geography" question. Lord Malcolm Douglas-Hamilton, now living in New York, failed to answer a question worth $8,000 in the "men and mountains" category. Each received a 1957 Cadillac convertible. Susan Sandler, 13-year-old Oak Park, Mich., school girl, announced she would settle for $16,000 she had won earlier in "the sport of kings" category. Einfrank failed to answer any part of a question which re quired him to identify the coun try and an important river rep resented on seven outline maps which showed the capitals of the nations. Douglas-Hamilton failed to an swer the last part of a question in which he was shown photo graphs of four mountains and asked to name the mountain and the range in which each is located. Unemployment Pay More Than Receipts Portland (U.R) T. Morris Dunne, chairman of the State Unemployment commission, said here yesterday that the commis sion paid out $3,147,000 more in 1956 to claimants than It took in from employers. Speaking before the Colum bia Empire Industries, Inc., meeting, Dunn blamed the defi cit on an amendment of the compensation law passed by the 1955 Legislature. He said the amendment "sharply liberalized" the act by raising benefits. He said Ore gon now ranks as one of the nation's top 10 states in the size of maximum benefits and is also one of the highest in the number of persons receiving maximum benefits. as rW hJ .aaifftlir r'TTla n uriiimniiBl ll linii ii a iisaassiassaiissi ill Mini mail Mtasaaaaaaa Sj T r- COMPANION SPECIALS AT WEISFIELD'S FAMOUS LOW PRICES -i Regular 77.95 Automatic 2-Slice Electric Toaster Ramovabla crumb fray for fait, aasy cleaning.
