Freak Windstorm
Damages Greenhouse
A freak windstorm which oc
curred while the rest of Port
land enjoyed calm, sunny weath
er, caused some S900 damage to
a greenhouse here yesterday af
ternoon. Robert P. Hastings, owner, de
scribed the wind as a miniature
twister. He said it lifted the glass
sashes off several rows of hot
beds and tosed them 20 to 30
feet in the air. Some 60 sashes
were shattered.
"We'd never have believed it
if we hadn't seen it," Hastings
said.

once each week attended by par
ents and teachers from the two
first grade rooms, then the two
second grade rooms, etc. At
these meetings the teachers out
line the academic objectives for
the year and tell some of the
methods of teaching used. Also,
an effort is made to describe the
physical growth and the social
growth that can be expected in
each specific a ge group. Partic
ipating m the presentation were
Harold Boner, principal, serving
as chairman; Mrs. Betty Daniel
son, third grade teacher; Mrs.
Henry Friesen, first grade par
ent; Ron Quackenbush, vice-principal

Tlil
go, how we are to get there, what
time were are to leave the dance
and when we are to arrivi at the
restaurant for a bite. That
should take about an hour, they
say, and then we should be home
within 15 minutes. I don't mind
having Wendy home by a partic
ular time, but I hate all these
stipulations.
Then when we come home,
Wendy's mother . father is up
waiting. Sometimes they have
fixed some sandwiches or a hot
drink for us. It's very nice of
mem, but we could do it our
selves. I think they should trust
us and Wendy should tell them
so.
Wendy P. I know my par
ents are annoying, but I feel that
I should put up ,ith it while I
am at home. I don't want to
hurt their feelings. Pretty soon
I'll be going to college and then
I'll be on my own
I understand how Bernard
feels because sometimes when
they start all that planning I feel
like just screaming, but if I can
take it, I don't see why he can't.
I don't think it's very nice of him
to complain to me about my par
ents. !
The reason my parents treat
me the way they do is because I
am an only daughter. I have two
yoanger brothers, but they don't
go out yet, so my parents don't
understand about teen-agers and
how they like to be treated. My !
parents tre very good to me and '
I don't feel I have any right to
complain about a few minor ;
things. i
!
The Council: Wendy is right !
that it was not "very nice" of j
Bernard to complain to her ;
about her parents. If Bernard ;
does not like the setup he en
counters when he dates Wendy,
he should change girls. If he
likes Wendy so much that he
does not want to make a change,
he ought to grin and bear minor
inconveniences, like parents.
Wendy should, however, look
into her own attitude toward
her parents. In some ways, she
is quite understanding in oth
ers, she is not. She is exception
ally condescending toward them.
She finds them "annoying" and
sometimes feels like screaming,
but she is willing to- "put up
with it" because she will soon
be free of them.
In short, Wendy treats her
parents like children who need
to be appeased, but whose un
derlying attitudes need to be
taken seriously Evidently her
parents do not realize this be
cause on the. surface Wendy is
very well behaved and loyal. .
For her own sake, and for
her parents'. Wendy ought to do
them the honor of thinking of
them as her equals. If she does
not like certain things they say,
or their' attitudes orr particular
subjects, she should tell them
so. It can be done without
"screaming" jnd it will not hurt
their feelings, as she believes.
If Wendy tells her parents
how she feels, they may possibly
revise their behavior and be
come less annoying, or they may
