Back Stairs: The Vacation White House Greta R. People resent us because of our education. Claude R. We should keep to ourselves. Greta R. My husband and I are both college graduates, but because of certain circumstanc es' my husband never got locat ed in a white collar job. As a result we are very misplaced people. I suppose it Is because of our educational background that people seem to resent us. We have nothing but trouble in all the different neighborhoods where we have lived. There are constant fights between our three boys and the other chil " dren In the area. This would be bad enough, but when the ad ults get into the act and com plain about our children and threaten them, it is really too much. I feel we should relocate In some entirely new area. We need a fresh start in a place where people are different in their attitudes. There must be some place where people are willing to live peaceably togeth er. My husband says I make too much of things and he refuses to budge. Claude R. We have made about 12 moves in the 12 years of our marriage and that costs plenty of money, yet we've nev er been any happier in one place than another. I figure it's time to call it quits and settle down. Greta is so sensitive. She takes everything to heart. She worries and broods about the things people say to her and the fights the children get into. All boys fight. She is always writing let ters to newspapers and civic officials complaining about con ditions in our neighborhood. People don't like that. I figure we should just keep to ourselves and not have any dealings with anyone. We should also keep the boys home more. They have one another for com panionship. They should stay in evenings, anyway, and do their homework. If we moved to a different area, I couldn't be sure of get ting work in my line. . The Council: Greta and Claude have a serious problem and it can't be solved by run ning away to a different area or hiding themselves and their cTiildren.

Palmer Zottola will continue to manage the Grants Pass com pany for Arden. Palmer Zottola Jr. will be production manager, Walsh said. The announcement of merger was made Wednesday by both the Grants Pass firm and the Arden office in Seattle. Arden officials said the Zottola merger would make service in the Grants Pass area more complete. bringing and Greta and Claude must go about changing their attitudes so that they and their children can live happily with others. Greta must recognize that she has been creating her own en vironment. Most people are willing to "live peaceably to gether." An individual who finds conflict in one neighborhood af ter another is creating conflict. Greta is all wrong in her no tion that people "resent" her because of her college back ground. Educated persons are welcome in every community if they don't use their education as a weapon to hurt or belittle others. Greta appears to suffer from a sense of having lost status be cause her husband doesn't hold a "white collar job." This is nonsense in our fluid, democrat ic society. Her husband deserves credit for having the flexibility to work in the field that gives him an honest living, regardless of prestige considerations. Greta's sense of persecution appears to be deep-rooted and she may require some psychiat ric help. She should discuss this with a doctor or trained social worker attached to a family agency. (Copyright 1957, General Features Corp.) Crime Rate Higher In First 6 Months Washington (TP) FBI rec ords showed today that crime boomed in the United States dur ing the first six months of 1957. FBI Director J. Edgar Hoov er said more major crimes were committed during the first half of the year than in any similar period on record. Hoover said reports from 3,023 police departments across the country indicated there were 1, 399,670 major crimes in the six months period. That' would be an average of about one crime every 11.2 seconds. The FBI chief said this rate represented an 8.4 per cent in crease over the rate for The first six months of last year. Hoover said that while the bulk of the nation's crimes oc curred in cities, rural crime is increasing more rapidly than city crime. Ex-Mafion County Legislator Dies Salem (W Leonard M.

Main and Fir Medford By MERRIMAN SMITH United Press White House Writer Newport, R. . I. OP) Back stairs at the vacation White House: It is stretching a point to call the presidential establishment here the vacation White House, considering the long hours spent these past three weeks coping with the Little Rock problem. But it is beyond the realm of all reality to refer to it as the "summer White House." Last Tuesday morning, when the President flew back to Coasters Harbor Island Naval Base, it was colder here than it was in parts of Alaska. The temperature has been running close to 40 degrees at night, but warming up to ideal Indian summer weather in the middle of the day. Press Secretary James C. Hag- erty was asked the other day as he is almost every day about the duration of the Eisen howers' stay in Newport. He replied, "I know of no plans to return to Washington." "Ever?" asked a travel-weary Washington reported. Hagerty laughed and hastily added "this week." The President is receiving a mound of invitations to visit estates, clambakes and other forms of social activity in this area, but thus far he has seemed interested primarily in meeting people on the golf course of the Newport Country Club. Henry Ford II, for example, has been invited to play with him. Harold S. Vanderbilt, the noted bridge expert and one of the yachting clan, was here re cently to join Eisenhower and some of his friends for a few nights of cards. There have been some other non-golfing guests, but for the most part their names have been kept rather quiet. About the only way to deter mine whether the Eisenhowers are entertaining guests is to watch the first hole of the coun try club course and see who tees off with the President. The fact that Mrs. Eisenhower is rarely in public evidence here is no indicator of her activi ty. Actually, within the presi dential quarters on the naval base overlooking Narragansett Bay, she is busy daily wth her secretary, Mrs. Mary Jane Mc-Caffree. The First Lady has been put ting in quite a bit of time on plans for the visit of the British Queen next month. She also is handling a volume of correspondence. Friday, September 27, 1957 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE NINE Northwest Power Shortage Predicted Tacoma (IP) The Bonne ville Power Administration said here Thursday that unless there is heavy rainfall in the upper Columbia and the Snake river region before the winter freeze, the Pacific Northwest will face its most critical power shortage in history. BPA officials made the state ment to some 65 Pacific North west private and public utility 'representatives at a meeting of the Technical I n t e r-Agency Power Committee from Wash ington, D.C. They would not say a power shortage does or will exist but did say the situation will call for the use of all possible steam power in the area in the months ahead. It was revealed that August and September have recorded the lowest water flow in the Co lumbia than at any time during the previous critical power shortages. . . . PAULSEN'S . . .
