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.

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

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

Medford High school is plan
ning a student talent exchange
assembly with Klamath Falls in
the not too distant future. This
assembly is in the process of

Medford student body will view
Klamath Falls' talent while their
student body will see ours.

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

been a star of stage, screen and
television for years. To describe

Asking
Queries from clients. Q. 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." To be considered com
petent, a bartender in London
must be able to mix at least 32
different cocktails from mem
ory. Ask the bartender at your
favorite place how many differ
ent cocktails he can mix with
out looking in the book.

than women have stomach ul
cers and nervous breakdowns.
Why? Those who should know
say it is because women do not
try to hide their feelings as men
do. When they feel bad they cry.
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

The Family Council
Editor's note: Tha Family Council consists ot a Judgt, a psychiatrist,
three clergymen, a newspaper editor, a women's editor and two writers. 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

way he has acted up until now.
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.
