Thousands of American Mothers Fear
Television Has Bad Effect on Language
By BERGEN EVANS
Written for United Press
New York an Judging from
letters that we receive at "The
Last Word" office, hundreds of
'.nousands of American mothers
are afraid that TV is having a
bad effect on their children's
language. .
What with the slop of croon
ers, the tough talk of the private
eyes the pardner-prattle of the
westerns and the imbecilities
and sinful syntax of the co
medians, the messages of mom
and the schollmarm are pretty
well drowned out.
It's probably always been that
oway Popular entertainment sim
ply wouldn't be popular if it
weren't in the vernacular and
if it didn't carry some element
of defiance of the rigid prop
erties. One can imagine the concern
of a Hth Century countess
whose son -was listening to the
stuff that fellow Chaucer was
reading aloud. The man was
definitely middle class. You
could hear the London -dialect
in every word he spoke. And
even if you couldn't, it didn't
matter; all all, it was English
he spoke. Aristocratic people
sr.ake Norman French.
Shakespeare Appears
Then 200 years latter it was
Shakespeare. The man was al
most illiterate. He had little
Latin, they said, and less Greek.
And apparently, no knowledge
of grammar at all. He had
queens say it's me" instead of
"it is I" and princes remark
that this would "learn" us.
After Shakespeare's death,
the better - thinking element
closed the theatres and saw to
it that there were plenty of
moral diatribes for the young
to read. But somehow they
didn't take to them and seemed
actually to enjoy the indecent
comedies of the restoration.
Even the great Dr. Johnson
couldn't stop it. He tried to, poor
man. Worked seven long years
on a huge dictionary. Published
it in 1755 in two immense vol
umes. You could have knocked
a horse down with either vol
ume. But he admitted in the pre
fix he was licked. He said the
language couldn't be "fixed."
It was changing all the time
and would keep on changing. It
seems that people who speak
Pinball Machines
Target of Attorney j
Eugene (IP Lane County Dis
trict Attorney Eugene Venn said j
Wednesday he would attempt to ,
have pinball machines outlawed
in Oregon as gambling devices.
Venn said his office was pre-
paring a "friendly" test case to ;
be filed in Circiut court. j
Venn cited a Lane county case
in which $100 bail was forfeited j
on a charge of operating a game
of chance. "This case is further ,
proof that pinball machines are
actually gambling devices and
as such should be seized and de
stroyed on sight. However, until
the Supreme court declares that
they are such, we are powerless
to do anything." he said.
the language every day account
for 99100 per cent of its use.
And all they want is to make
their meaning known and make
love and make money and get a
laugh when they want to be
funny. ;
Whereas those who write and
those who read and especially
those who formulate "rules" of
grammar account for only 1-100
of one per cent; and although
they are "right" and everybody
else is "wrong", the odds are
against them
You could trace the thing
right on down through Dickens
and that awful book, "Huckle
berry Finn." There were lots of
fine people writing wonderful
English like Walter Pater and
Henry Van Dyke. But for some
reason the young didn't profit
by them. They seemed to prefer
George Ade and W. C. Fields
and Sinclair Lewis
And now it's television! Will
it never end?
Drawing Decides Owners
Of 145 New Idaho Farms
Rupert, Idaho fTPt The own
ers of 145 new Idaho farms wiil
be determined July 5 when the
doors of a rolling barrel are cere
moniously opened in th town
square here.
From the barrel will be taken
capsules containing the names
of men most of them veterans
who will be allowed to' take
up homesteads on the North Srd?j
Pumping Division of the Mini
doka reclamation ' project.
Getting their names pulled
from the barrel from among the
many applicants for the 145
farm units being opened this
year will only be the first step
for the new Idaho farmers.
Once they take possession of
their land, the homestead win
ners face the task of clearing
the sage-brush from the desert,
leveling the earth, completing
irrigation facilities, planting
their crops and building homes
and farm buildings.
But Bureau of Reclamation of
ficials in Rupert know this can
be done. The area around Ru
pert has been settled by home
steaders and by farmers getting
land through private purchase
for more than 50 years, and it
is already one of the most pros
perous agricultural districts liu
the Mountain, West. .
Underground Water
The 145 units being made av
aiable this year will be awarded
ii. the fifth of a series of public
land openings to be held on the
North Side Pumping Division
Since 1953, 445 other units
averaging 120 irrigable units
averaging 120 irrigable acres
have been settled. By the time
the project is completed, about
700 new farms totaling 77,650
irrigable acres will be opened.
Water for the crops mostly
sugar beets and potatoes will
come from 180 wells drilled into
the soil-topped lava rock, tap
ping a vast supply of ground
water underlying the area, and
from pumps on the Snake River
' The wells, with an average lift1
of 200 feet, will irrigate about
64,000 acres. The pumping sys
tem, with five pumps, totalling
6,000 horsepower and lifting
240 second feet of water an av
erage of 163 feet, will irrigate
13,650 acres.
Trie deadline for filing appli
cations for this year's farm un
its is 2 p.m., MST, June 27.
when the requests must be in
the hands of the bureau of Rec
lamation office at Rupert.
R. T. Pittard, assistant bur
eau office engineer, estimated in
an interview with United Press
that the average farm would
gross 15,000 to S20.000 a year
after the crops are in. . Out of
.this, the farmers must pay their
development costs, and, over a
60-year period, repay the' gov
ernment for the irrigation fa
cilities construction, as well as
their operation and maintenance.

Survey To Study Cost
Of Milk vs. Coffee
Corvallis OP) Economists at
Oregon State college want to
know why a Brazilian beverage
(coffee) is served free with meals
in most Oregon restaurants
while Oregon produced milk
costs extra. ...
.' S. Kent Christensen, professor
of marketing at the college, said
the first survey of its kind in
the United States will be con
ducted this summer in Portland
and Corvallis restaurants to de
termine the relative costs of
serving milk and coffee. .

words and phrases like income
tax," "brush-off pitch," "Khrush
chev," and "Sonali Das Gupta."
Say easeful, cool, lulling things
like "vacation in Norway," "Mar
ilyu Monroe's skin tone," "hammock-time
in Little America,"
"ho-o-o hum."
Work correctly. Sit down.
Lean back. Put your feet on a
desk. Stare vacantly. Avoid
pursing your lips (any muscle
flexing produces heat). Don't
even flex your brain.
Jazz Records Cooll
Be clever. "When outdoors,
take along a personal air condi
tioner. Tie a small record player
atop your head and keep your
self drenched with modern ad
vanced jazz. It's, cool, man.
Try psychology. Withdraw
from the hot world. Try to imag
ine you're a cucurnber in a shady
glen. If your friends remark
that you're turning green, you're
a success. Tell 'em, it's only
your chlorophyll showing.
Be scientific. Use simple hy
daulics. Keep a pail of ice water
at your feet. Your blood makes '
a complete circulation of your j
body every 20 minutes. From
time to time, put your toe in I
the pail and hold it here 20
minutes, icewatering your sys- j
tern. .

Teacher Shortage
Blessing in Disguise
Portland 11PI Gov. Robert D.
Holmes Tuesday called problems
of teacher shortages and rising
enrollments in higher education
blessings in disguise. j
Holmes said the problems
force a critical examination of
our colleges and universities.
The governor said that the
1957 Legislature took the most i
important step toward the imme
diate problem in state colleges '
by raising teacher salaries. This j
gives Oregon "a fighting chance j
to ' maintain stable, excellent '
staffs of teachers ..." he said. '
He also praised the setting up
of framework by which local
school districts can establish
junior colleges.
He spoke at a Rotary club
luncheon.
Be calm. Particulary at the
beach, with all those Bikinis
sauntering around. Excitement
only makes you warmer. Save it
for next winter.
Avoid Any Food
Eat properly. Food is heat.
Avoid it. Instead, take frequent
baths in a solution of water
and equal parts of tranquilizer
and pep pills. Save the solution
for repeated use.
Drink properly. Sample the
air conditioning before you pa
tronize the bar. Select a very
cold bar, slap down a dollar,
and order a hot buttered rum.
The bartender's reaction may
send you both to the cooler.
Be a scream. Meet a friend
and say. "Know why it's warm
ing up in Siberia? Because
Krushy turned on the heat in
the Kremlin." This kind of thing
will cool off any friendship.
