On The Side By E. V. Durling (Distributed by King Future Eradicate, inc.) Does your matrimonial mate j snore? If not, you are fortunate. One in four persons in this coun try snore. Not as many women snore as men. However, the women snore louder. Snores are measured by that unit of sound called the decibeL There are 40 decibel snorers and 90-decibel snorers. The former are some what gentle snorers. Their room mates can get used to them. The 90-decibel snorers are really ma jor menaces to slumber. They should have separate rooms. And the rooms should have sound proof walls. Show Business New York stage attractions are announced a month in ad vance. Mail orders are invited. A theatrical enthusiast informs me she regularly sends mail or ders for coming attractions a month in advance but does not get an answer until two or three days after the show was opened. If the reviews have been espe cially good indicating the show is a hit, she gets a letter saying there are no seats for the date she named. If the reviews are bad, indicating an early closing of the show, she gets the tickets. This indicates that in some cases there may be unholy alliances between theatrical producers and ticket spectators. It is a form of rackteerlng that should have the attention of the Better Business Bureau or some similar oraganization. It appears to also come under the jurisdiction of those who are required to en force the laws concerning ticket speculators. Asking " Queries from clients. Q. Did the prophet Nostradamus predict war between Russia and the United States? A. According to those who have faith in the prophet you mention, he predict ed a battle between the "Bear and Eagle." This was interpret ed by the followers of Nostra damus to mean war between Russia and the United States. He said the Eagle would win. Q. What was the age of the oldest thoroughbred ever to participate in a race at a major track? A. Couldn't say definitely. How ever, there was a noble animal named Budweiser which was still racing and winning at the Maryland tracks when 19 years old! Sidelights The most colorful wrestler of all-time was "Man - A - Minute" Gama of India. Inspiration of Gama's nickname was that he once threw 30 men in 30 minutes ...When your dreams are logi cal, it is an indication you are not having a good sound sleep.

Guide to Guys How about Capricorn (Dec. 22 Jan. 20) men as husbands? Such is the query of a feminine sub scriber. The Capricorn male has a passion for privacy. He is a kind of a male Garbo. Must be provided with a study to which he can retire and be alone with his thoughts. He is allergic to talkative wives. He likes a wom an who can cook skillfully, iron shirts quickly and cleverly, keep a house spotlessly clean and account by the budget system for every cent she has spent. Capri corn men are usually good pro viders and generally loyal to their wives but are rarely great lover types. In other words, they are dull but dependable. Or, so say the stargazers.

We don't want to be indebted to them. Mrs. R. E. My husband and I are very unhappy about pur 22-year-old daughter, who is married and lives quite far from us. Pauline married against our wishes two years ago and we have seen her only twice since then. When she and Anthony came and told us they were married, we simply gave them our blessing and a good sized check to get them started in their married life. They said they would take it as a loan, but not as a gift. Since then, we have sent them other gifts of money, clothing and household necessities, but they returned everything. We have never gone to see them be cause they have not invited us, but a relative, who was passing through their community, stop ped to see them and told us that their living conditions were frightful. Pauline and her hus band are musicians and do not work steadily. Pauline is our only child and we want her to be happy and comfortable. We can well afford to help her. Why is she so stub born? e Pauline M. All my life my parents have been telling me how much they ,did for me and how little they had when they were my age. They poisoned every drop of food by telling me that I didn't appreciate all I had. My mother worked in my father's business, although she didn't want to. She kept telling me she was doing it all for me and someday I would realize her sacrifice. I knew they wouldn't like Anthony even before I brought him home, but I didn't expect them to come down on me the way they did. They said he had no "background," didn't know how to act or dress and would never make a living. It happens that his parents are poor and immigrants, but they are the most wonderful people I've ever known. It is hard for them to give us the gifts they've given, but we've kept them because we know they are sent with love. My family has a distorted sense of values. Our living con ditions are poor, but not "fright ful" and we don't want to be indebted to my folks. The Council: It took many years to create all the bitterness Pauline feels toward her parents and the damage cannot be un done in a day. If Pauline has given a truthful picture of her early life, her parents made a serious error, but she should realize it was simply an error. They wanted her to under stand that she had unusual ad vantages and they wanted her to be aware of whai they knew so well that such advantages Thursday, April 18, 1957 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THREE Ellsworth Nomination Confirmed by Senate Washington (U.R) The Sen ate has confirmed the nomina tion of former Congressman Har ris Ellsworth to be a member of the Federal Civil Service Com mission. The long-time Roseburg Re publican is expected to be sworn in to his new post tomorrow and then appointed chairman of the commission. are not easily come by. They told her this, not because they begrudged her the advantages, but because they wanted her to understand that life can be pretty tough. Pauline should also realize that she may be exaggerating and distorting her parents' atti tudes because of an obscure psy chological resentment against them. This deeply rooted resent ment against parents is not un common. Many individuals seize on trifling factors to give some basis in reality for the feeling. If Pauline tries to look back over her life objectively, she will undoubtedly find many ex amples of her parents' love, goodness and understanding. In any case, Pauline should grow up enough to understand that her parents send their gifts with as much love as Anthony's parents. The fact that they are economically more able to give doesn't lessen the love one bit. Pauline's conduct toward them is cruel and childish. When she feels differently toward them, she will know she is beginning to grow up.
