On The Side 'Great Decisions' Started in Oregon First Time in '55 Portland "Great Decisions" now a nationwide program, got its start in Oregon. It began with the idea of the Foreign Policy association that the nation needed a way of getting information on interna tional affairs to the public, so citizens could form their own opinions. Oregon was selected as the pilot state for the experimental "Great Decisions" project in 1955. In cooperation with the World Affairs council of Oregon and volunteer committees, the FPA set up the first community wide '"Great Decisions" pro grams in Portland, Corvallis, Eugene, Springfield and Med ford. More than 1,500 Orcgonians in 141 discussion groups started out the program in 1955. By 1956 it had expanded to more than 2.000 citizens in 175 groups. More than 70 per cent of those in groups had never before par ticipated in discussion of foreign policy. This year 20 counties in Ore gon have organized "Great Deci sions . . . 1957" committees and councils. Statewide, the program is being sponsored by the Oregon State college extension service in cooperation with the general extension division of the state system of higher education, the I persuasive eloquence used to in fluence another person, especial ly a beautiful woman.

HORNBROOK Grade School Needs Seen The Family Council Editor's- note: The Family Council consists of a Judge, a psychiatrist, ttiree clergymen, a newspaper editor, a woman's editor and two writers. Each article Is a summary of an actual report. The Family Council does nol Rive advice; It merely reports on problems that have been dealt with by responsible agencies and counselors. Mr. D. D. Our boy is a prob lem. I want to send him to mili tary school. Mn. D. D. Those places are too tough on young boys. Mr. D. D. We have a family of four boys and one daughter. We have always been a pretty happy bunch and the kids have been normal, fairly well-behaved youngsters. Recently the middle boy, who is 14, has started acting up and has given us quite a problem. He was always the quietest of the boys, but now he wants to fight all the time and never talks without shouting. When he gets into a battle with his older brothers, he always gets the worst end of it, but that doesn't seem to stop him. He is constantly after a new fight. He tortures his kid sister with the meanest kind of teasing. I feel he is a bad influence on all of the kids. He provokes the older ones to taking a tough attitude toward him and he is a bad example for the younger ones. I want to get him out of the house for a year or two and lend him to a military academy where he can learn some disci pline, but my wife objects. Mrs. D. D. It's true that Andv is very hard to take at this time, but I am against chil dren going away from home until they are at least 18. My own brother went to a military academy and I feel it did him a lot of damage. He has told me he was always home sick and never could get along with either the instructors or his fellow students. He said he has always felt himself a failure because he could not live up to the ideals of the school. It seems to me these places are too tough on young boys. I feel that Andy js just going through a stage and it will blow over soon. He is extremely well behaved, in fact rather timid, outside of the house. I have no fear of his getting into any serious trouble. I've told the younger kids not to put up with any of Andy's nonsense, but to let their father know when he bothers them. I feel that it is a father's responsibility to disci pline his own boys. m m m Th Council: A military acad emy is not necessarily "too tough" on boys and often serves as a good background. It is doubtful, however, whether it would be the best thing for Andy at this time. Andy knows he is in bad with the whole family right now and sending him away from home would be considered by him a harsh punishment. It would be different if his elder brothers had gone or were going to such a school, but singling him out as the only child to be sent away could only be interpreted in one way "they don't want me." This is particularly serious in view of the fact that Andy ap pears to be engaged in a struggle for recognition in his family. As the middle child he may feel smothered between the older, stronger ones and the younger. more protected ones. A more constructive step in Andy's case would be to try to find out what the boy enjoys most and can do best. Encour age him in this so that he excels outside the home and wins re spect within it. The cooperation ! oi nis elder brothers should be sought. They can train him in sports. If he wants to fight, have them train him to do it well to box or wrestle with style as a sport. Such constructive steps will serve a far better purpose than waiting for this stage to "blow over" or simple discipline. (Copyright 1957, Gen. Features Corp.) By MRS. H. H. CHAPMAN The report of the Siskiyou county grand jury for 1956 filed last week with Superior Court Judge James M. Allen, submit ted the following concerning the Hornbrook grammar school: "The school building needs con siderable repair. However, we understand that there is to be an addition to the school in the near future and that the old building is to be completely renovated at that time. New wiring and lighting throughout the entire building is badly need ed. Also the playground needs work done on it and new play ground equipment added." A bond issue of some 5140,000 was approved last June by vote by Hornbrook residents, which will take care of the building im provements recommended by the grand jury. Their report then continues, concerning the water situation at the school. "The well water used at the school, and the only water available for the children is sulphur water and almost impossible to drink. We would strongly recommend that a new well be drilled and good water made available." This is a problem that has vexed sev eral generations of Hornbrook children, and been of concern to their parents. As the grand jury pointed out, it is the "only water available, and good water should be made available." It would be greatly appreciated by local residents if it could be ex plained just how this was to be accomolished. In the past three wells have been dug at the school, and none have been satisfactory. lirn r ii'iii'g. i nt.tti ir-f Around Hollywood Hollywood OI.R) "In this pic ture." Director Michael Curtiz told Ann Blyth, "you're sexy, not hoi y." Movie - goers will be in for a surprise when they see H o 1 1 ywood's perennial "good girl" sitting on x a piano to por-trayHelen Aline Mosby Morgan, a sen sual torch singer of the 20s. Ann will do a hula and sob in the drunk scenes. "I didn't want to test Ann at first," Curtiz admitted as we waited on a Warner Bros, sound stage for the actress to appear for wardrobe, tests. I tested 25 girls and interviewed another 25. I talked to Olivia De Havi land and Jennifer Jones. I tested singers Julie London and Con nie Russell. After everybody j was exhausted.

At that moment we saw the : sweet star of movies such as "The Student Prince" walk on the set, and it was a sexy walk. ; She wore a pink beaded dress of the '20s style and carried a long chiffon scarf, one of Helen Morgan's trademarks. With fluffy bangs, short hair and elongated eyebrows, Ann bears a striking resemblance to Miss Morgan. Ann is aware that her fans and ' Hollywoodites didn't picture her j in the coveted Helen Morgan ; role, which Warner's been try- I ing to get before the cameras since 1943. "When you've grown up in pictures, it's hard for people to i realize you're grown up," the former child star said with her j sweet smile. "Also, I usually have played a certain type of role, the ingenue, except in "Mildred ; Pierce' II years ago. Yet an j actress should . be able to por- tray anything. Variety is very i important. "You don't have to have a j figure like Venus to portray sex j appeal." she added. feel a j great part of Helen Morgan's ! appeal was her warmth."

One set worker commented on her perfume and suggested she had switched to "My Sin." "Oh, no, it's Lilies-of-the-Val-ley, my favorite," she said. Funeral services for John C. Indahl were held Monday after noon in the Hornbrook Commun itv church. The Rev. Lewis A. Manning officiated, and burial was in the Henley-Hornbrook cemetery.
