Vaccine Ineffective
Health Official Says
Springfield, Mass. (IP) City
Health Commissioner, Dr. John
C. Ayres, Saturday took a long
chilly look at the Asia Flu vac
cine. "Why bother with it," he said.
Ayres said the vaccine is not
100 per cent effective, can cause
only a brief immunity all
that for a disease which is mild
in the first place.
Not only that, but one fifth
of those given the vaccine will
have a one-day bout with the
influenza as a reaction, he said.

Leon's All I've gotx is a
bankbook.
Ethel S. Is it stingy to try
to stretch the dollar?
Leon S. My wife and I met
and married when we were both
in the army. We were both far
from home and lonesome and we
enjoyed one another's company,
so marriage seemed like the
natural step.
That was two years ago and
we sure have learned that mar
riage is a lot more complicated
than you'd think. We fight about
a lot of things because we have
such different ideas, but mostly
we fight about money.
Ethel is just about the stin
giest person I ever met. She
won't buy anything unless it's
on sale. She refuses to buy on
time. She says we've got to have
a big bank balance before we
start having a family.
All of my friends have cars,
homes, kids and all I've got is a
bankbook. Is this living?
Ethel S. You'd think I was
pocketing Leon's hard-earned
money for my own personal use
the way he talks. I am saving for
our future, the future of our
family. I work just as hard as
he does and earn almost as
much. Surely I have a right to
have my say about how the
money is spent.
I was shocked when I visited!
Leon's home after our marriage.
His folks are up to their necks
in debt. Everything is bought
on time. They never get ahead.
My parents taught me not to
want things I can't pay for right
out of my own pocket.
Leon calls me stingy, but is it
stingy to want to stretch the
dollar as far as possible? He
ought to be grateful for a wife
like me who knows how to make
ends meet. He doesn't appre
ciate his luck..
The Council One reason
young persons are cautioned
against hasty marriages is that
they lack the wisdom and ex
perience to quickly size up an
individual and his values.
In the service, where every
one is away from family, friends
and customary activities, this is
particularly true. There is little
opportunity for individual tastes
and values to find expression.
Leon and Ethel were unwise
to marry without having met
each other's families. Family
visits would have given them
some clues about one another.
It certainly would have opened
discussion about some of the
matters that now cause so much
difficulty."
A marriage in which there is
a conflict of values may be dif
ficult, but it can be made suc
cessful and even richer in some
ways than most, if the partners
honestly desire it. Leon and
Ethel have much to give one
another if they open themselves
to a new way of looking at
things.
Leon is now convinced he is
right Ethel is stingy. Ethel is
sure nothing can be more vir
tuous than "not to want things
I can't pay for out of my own
pecket." .
Yet each point of view has
its limitations. A life spent one
step ahead of the bill collector
surely lacks peace. On the other
hand, a life devoted to "stretch-
1 ing the dollar" could result in
nothing more fruitful than ex
actly that.
Leon is justified in complain
ing that his bankbook is a poor
substitute for the children he
wants now not when the bank
balance gets big enough.
Yes, Leon ought to be grateful
for a wife "who knows how to :
make ends meet" and Ethel j
ought to be grateful for a hus-j
band who wants to live as fully
as possible. They can make a
wonderfully happy compromise
out of the situation if they give
it a good hard try.

Project Cancelled
For Pendleton Area
By Air Force Head
Washington (W Secretary
of the Air Force James H. nous-
las announced Friday the project i
for construction of the Sage Di-1
rection Center at Pendleton,
Ore,, municipal airport has been
cancelled, partially because of
the "funds limitation under
which the air force is endeavor
ing to operate."
The Air Force also said the
cancellation was made because !
of the need for decreasing the
overall capital invesijjt in the
Sage defense systen?
Fire Protests
Sens. Wayne Morse (D-Ore.)
and Richard L. Neuberger (D
Ore.) and Pep. Al Ullman fired
protests with the Air Secretary.
In a joint message, Morse and
Ullman said late Friday they re
garded the move as "false econ
omy" and a "weakening" of the
nation's defense.
Declares Discrimination
Neuberger declared that Ore
gon has been "severely discrimi
nated against" in the securing of
defense installations. He said
that while California has 54 ma
jor military installations and
Washington state 19, Oregon has
only three.
The Morse-Ullman statement
said the cancellation eliminated
an 8.8 million dollar project
which had a potential payroll of
about 2.5 million dollars. It
would have been manned by ov
er 700 persons, they added.
Elk Creek Logger
Wriles Journal Story
Portland Robert Kline, small'
logger and operator-owner of
Kline Logging company, Med
ford. said that pre-planning fost
ers efficiency in an article pur
lished in the Sept. 20 issue of
The Timberman, national forest
industry trade journal.
Kline maps, plots, locates skid
roads and landings before fall
ing, the article notes. He finds
that knowledge of rough ground
speeds operation for more ef
ficient logging. Since there are
few accurate maps in Kline's
rugged operating area, Elk
Creek, pre-planning starts with
his own accurate mapping. Con
trol is most essential for this
mapping, he writes.
In addition to his pre-mapping
and planning, Kline has several
other operating principles of in
terest. He builds all his landings
and skidroads ahead of the fall
ing, moves his loader in between
strings of trucks, picking up the I
tag ends later, has regular bi-j
weekly operating reports, and !
enforces safety precautions. '
