Mother is too much of t hermit. O . . Mrs. A.M. I am a widow in my 60s, in good health and working. I like being independ ent and having my own apart- O ment, but St the suggestion of my married daughter I have taken another woman into my apartment as a boarder. I am not happy with this sit uation. This woman has very dif ferent habits of living. She likes O to entertain a lot. I like to relax and just watch TV in the eve nings. She likes change and al ways wants to rearrange the apartment or buy something new, and I like things the way they are. All my life I have had to do things to please other people my parents, my husband, my children. I want to live for my aclf now. I want to be alone, but my daughter says it isn't goo for me and I should find somebody else to live with if I don't like the woman who is now staying with me. O . . . Mrs. T.Y-I think It's not healthy for my mother to live lone. I worry about her a great deal. She could feel sick at night and there would be nobody to help her, or somebody could break into her apartment and harm her. Besides, Mother is too much of hermit. If I don't call her, she would go days without even talk ing to me. When she comes to visit me or my brother, she leaves early because she says the children's noise gives her a headache. She has a few close friends and sees them about once a week and says that is enough for her. Some of my friends have com mented that my mother is really very queer person because she ifkes to be alone so much. I think that if she lives with an- other person, it will prevent her , going off the deep end in her oddities. I wish she'd be more normal. a The Council: Mrs. T.V.'s anxieties about her mother do not appear to have a very sound u basis in reality. A woman who O holds a job and maintains a steady relationship with a few close friends is unlikely to be on the verge of "going of the deep end." O It is true that from the point of view of physical safety, it is desirable for an older woman to q live with someone else, but if this safeguard can only be gain ed at the price of a sacrifice of day-to-day happiness, many in dividuals would choose day-to- (Jay happinoss. Psychologists point out that younger persons often tend to proipct their own anxieties about ,ill health and death on their (tyarents.

E- h that hava been dealt with by responsible ents are far more prepared to accept these facts of life than the children. The parents should not be required to make unrea sonable concessions to their chil dren's fears. In Mrs. T. Y.'s case, her fears about her mother seem to ex tend to the area of mental health. From the facts given, her only basis for this fear is that her mother is unusually self- sufficient. This may not be quite "normal," but it can be argued that a woman in her 60's who has fulfilled all her responsibili ties has a right to her "oddities." Mrs. T. Y. should not interfere with her mother's choice of a way of life at this time. ' (Copyright 1957, General Features Corp.) Hells Canyon Dam Still Has Chance Washington (U.R) The con troversial Hells Canyon ' dam proposal was assured another chance for approval in this Con gress Saturday with the Senate Interior Committee scheduling hearings on the proposed fed eral construction , project for next month. 1 . . The Irrigation and Reclama tion subcommittee will hold hearings March 6-8 on a bill in troduced by Sen. Wayne Morse of Oregon. Spokesmen said oppoinents of the federal project have request ed two days to present their case before the committee. Of ficials said testimony taken giv en at previous Hells Canyon hearings may be accepted in the record to shorten the hearing. Witnesses who have requested time to appear in favor of the bill include Govs. Robert Holmes of Oregon and Albert Rosellini of Washington and Reps. Al Ullman and Charles Porter of Oregon. All four are Democrats who were elected last fall. The proposed federal dam would flood the sites of three private low-head dams already licensed for the Hells Canyon stretch of the Snake river. Idaho Power Company has one of the dams under construction.

Police identified the dead man as Francis Smallwood, about 35. with both Arkansas and Port land addresses listed in his papers. Twenty-year-old Terry Lee Meidel, Portland, was hospital ized with injuries. Witnesses said the Smallwood car struck the divider just west of the Vista avenue bridge "and seemed to go completely up in the air, sideways." Power was disrupted in the vicinity after the car struck a power pole and snapped 11,000 volt and 4.100-volt power lines. Police held back crowds en dangered by the crackling wires strewn across wet pavement. Police searched the under growth at the accident scene in case other persons had been thrown out of the convertible coupe but they said apparently the two men were the only occu pants of the vehicle.

And curious messmates they make. In a few instances, -it is true and fast friendship with no ul terior motives attached; in many more, it is because of mutual benefits derived from the com panionship. Among true friendships ob served was the relationship be tween a - little monkey and a wombat in the London Zoo, cer tainly a pair Of opposites but utterly devoted: the monk was lively and mischievous, the wom bat solemn, lugubrious, and dig nified. The two never quarreled and the long-suffering wombat was always ready to take the monkey for a piggyback joyride. In the Vienna Schoenbrunn Zoo, a beautiful white peacock took up with a giant tortoise and nothing could break up the de voted friendship. It all happened innocently enough: the peacock was the last survivor of an early hatched brood which perished in a prolonged period of cold weather. Hoping to save the pea cock, the caretaker put him in the warmest room to be found in the whole zoo which was in the reptile house with the giant tortoise. After that they were inseparable. Similarly, a gorilla may be come attached to a chimp; a horse to its stall mate, whether dog or rabbit. Will Ride Hosts As for friendships for con venience, ox-peckers will ride their hosts, such as water buffa lo, and rid them of external parasites. Another, the tick-bird will select a rhinoceros as his host. Another bird, the Egyptian black-backed courser also known as the crocodile .bird has been found since ancient times keep ing company with the croco diles feeding upon the latter's leeches. In our country, cow birds keep cattle company and waddling lazily among the hooves of cattle and gobbling up insects. And there is another re lationship bird with man the honey-guide of Africa. This bird points out nests of wild bees to man. The African natives, who profit by this "guiding," usually break open the bees' nest and take the honey giving the bird pieces of the honey comb of which it is inordinantly fond and consumes avidly.
