Kii NEW POSTAL CART Medford postman Larry Mose, above, dem onstrates how the new satchel carrier carts being put into use by the post office department can be maneuvered over a curb. This one, in use in Medford since before Christmas, is the latest of 6,000 experimental models that have been tried out by the department over a period of several years. The carts reduce work of deliver ing mail by taking the weight off the postman's shoulders and making it possible to carry larger loads, thus cutting down on the number of trips to a relay box. The carts, modeled after a popular gotf bag carrier, are completely collapsible and feature a thumb operated parking brake. Eventually, every foot-route postman in the United States will be supplied with a cart, post office officials said. NEWS NOTES from Medford High School Edited by James Boyd; staff: Linda Robertson. Kay Nicodemus and Bob Bright (Author's note: The following is not a paid political advertise ment but it should be. The obvi ous partisanship may be attrib uted to the close relationship of candidates and contributors to this column.) Mayors come in all shapes, colors, denominations, and na tionalities. Students when choos ing a candidate usually look for the tallest first. These people feel that a vote for a hefty candidate will get them more for their money. In the hard-fought race for Student Government Day mayor, six candidates have been nom inated. A "galloping" poll con ducted by the editor of this col umn has shown that James Boyd and Bob Bright are hot con tenders for the position. A large number of people are running in the four races for councilmen. In ward two. 11 candidates have filed for a place on the ballot. Other candidates for mayor in clude Ken Kumasawa, Greg Milnes. Mike Stearns and Jay Walker. On Tuesday the two finalists for mayor and four fi nalists in each ward for coun cilmen will be selected. Pat Leek and Bruce West have been selected to compete for the Elk's Leadership Award. They will compete with candidates from local high schools. The win-1 ner irom mis aisirici win uicu , compete in state and possibly national contests. The local prize is a watch. In state and national competition government bonds will be given. Four students have applied for the American Field Service's summer program. Under this pro gram one or more students will be chosen from Medford high to spend six to seven weeks in Europe this summer. To be eligible, a candidate, among other things, must be a member of the junior class, a US citizen, and have taken two years of a foreign language. The stu dents who have met these re quirements are Gladys Bedoe, Carolyn Carr, Barbara Van Sickle, and Dave Frohnmayer. The annual Southern Oregon speech conference was held Jan. 25 and 26 at SOC. Students par ticipated in debate, oratory, ex tempore, impromptu, after-dinner and radio speaking, and po etry reading. Ratings were given rather than the accustomed first, second, or third places.

The Medford student body will view Klamath Falls' talent while their student body will see ours. Finalists in the NROTC schol arship race will travel to Port land for physicals and interviews this Monday. Tuesday at 8 a.m. they will begin a rigorous exam ination. Five seniors passed the stiff qualifying test but only four have decided to accept the chance to continue on toward a four year scholarship. Those who pased the test are Ed Nienow, Dennis Patton, Art Putney, and John Reeder. On The Side (Distributed by King The most abused term in the entertainment field is that of "star." What is a star? Is it a person whose presence is indis pensable to a production? The most important member of the cast? Can the term being dis cussed be rightly applied to those quiz program interlocutors who 'come prancing down the center of the stage following the announcement i beginning: "And now the star of our show?" I think not. However, it is not impossible for an interlo cutor to be the star of a quiz program- That Grouch Marx is the of "You Bet Your Life" I there is no doubt. Without Grou j cho that program would be i worthless. However, Marx has been a star of stage, screen and television for years.

Is there a book titled "The Art of Love?" Who wrote it and when? A. About 1900 years ago, the Roman poet, Ovid, wrote a book of that title. Among other advice it includes a few helpful hints on handling and understanding women. Much of this advice can be used to advantage with mod ern females. Or. so say our Horses and Women experts. Q. Has Sid Caesar, the television comedian, ever appeared in a Broadway stage show? I claim he hasn't. Do I win the stogie? A. You lose. Eight years ago Caesar appeared in a musical show titled "Make Mine Man hattan." Briefly Of Honore de Balzac's cele brated "Fifteen Rules for Mar riage," rule seven was: The more one criticizes, the less one loves."

When angry or frightened they scream. When the long shot they have two bucks on comes down the stretch in front they yell. Women release their emotions. Men try to keep everything un der control.

E...b article is a summary of an actual report. The Family Council does not give advice: It merely reports on problems that have been dealt with by responsible afencles and counselors. Mrs. B.G. Our daughter should marry the boy. Mr. B.G. Why ruin her life because of one mistake? Mrs. B.G. My husband and I are desperate over what to do about our 20-year-old daughter. Edith is the eldest of our three children and was always a good, fine girl. A few months ago, however, she got mixed up with a wild crowd. She went to one of their parties, got drunk and had relations with one of the boys and is now pregnant. The boy comes from a decent family, like ours. When we told his parents and he admitted all the facts, they said they would make him marry her. My daughter says she doesn't know what she wants to do. She'll do whatever we think best. I feel that she would de best to marry him even though, as she points out, she hardly knows him and certainly doesn't know whether or not she likes him. If she doesn't marry him she would give the baby out for adoption. I feel she would al ways regret this and could nev er be happy afterward. Mr. B.G If she marries this boy, I feel our daughter would be ruining her life because of one tragic mistake. I met this boy and I feel that, in spite of the fact he comes from decent people, he is a crazy, mixed-up kid. He is a year younger than Edith. He doesn't have a decent job and he doesn't have anything special in mind for the future. There isn't a serious thought in his head. When his parents told him he must marry our daughter, he just shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay." I don't see how a kid like that can possibly make our daughter happy. It is no accident he was in with that wild crowd. He's just a young scamp. Why should Edith tie herself down to him for the rest of her life or until the thing ends in some' miserable mess? If she gives the baby out for adoption, she'll have a chance to forget and start life anew. The Council: Mr. G . B. is wrong to assume that this boy is absolutely hopeless as a hus band and father because of the psjtaaig.iji Westinghouse R You'll bs proud to own one of these wonderful Westinghouse Ranges!

The boy's parents have every reason to take the same attitude toward Edith. Yet, if these youngsters can be made aware of their responsibilities as par ents of an unborn child, they might prove they have the stuff to rise above their difficulties and their present immaturity. As matters now stand these unhappy and frightened young persons are trying to take refuge from all responsibility for their past actions and their future by putting the whole thing up to their parents. Both have ex pressed a willingness to go through, robotlike, with any ac tion their parents decide upon. Unfortunately, the thing can not be solved so simply. For their sakes and the sake of the unborn child, they must take upon themselves the responsibil ity of coming to a decsion. This is the only way in which any ac tion they undertake will have any rtrength or lasting quality. Both sets of parents have a big job of educating and guiding their children. These youngsters cannot really be as far apart as they now feel. The things they have in common are decent fam ilies and a certain weakness, which led them both to become mixed up with a wild crowd and to make an unhappy mistake. More important, they have an unborn child. To supplement their teach ings, these parents might suggest that the young couple arrange for a series of conferences with a clergyman or social worker or both. This may help the boy and girl to arrive at a decsion based on mutual respect, acceptance of responsibility and a common agreement on what is right. Bend Firm May Make Over-Snow Vehicle Bend Henry A.
