Into its quarters stormed an irate, 200-pound wife one evening,' swept the poker chiDi onto 40 the floor and pulled an ex general out by the ear, screaming, "How dare you join a club with a revolting name like this? You're not henpecked!" At the Chez Paree In Chi cago, an opulent guest at a ringside table offered Joe E. Lewis a bunch of imported grape3. "Jfo, siree," said Lewis haughtily. "You don't catch me taking my wine In pills:" MEDFORD M There's a snobbish apart tnent house in St Louis where dogs are allowed but no children! Whenever tenants have a new baby, the first thing they have to do Is to teach it to bark. 1957, by Bennett Cerf.

Our daughter wants to keep her illegitimate baby. Barbara M. I want this baby I'm not ashamed! Mrs. R. M. My 21-year-old daughter got into a lot of trouble and now she is just making things worse for herself. Barbara was going with a man and was planning marriage. She learned, too late, that he had a wife in another state. When he discovered she was pregnant, he ran out on her That's bad enoiJgh but here's the worst. Barbara refuses to give the baby out for adoption! She says she wants to keep her child and that she plans to bring the baby up as her own. My husband and I have cried and begged and pleaded, but it Morse Sees Review Of Basin Planning Hunting Resources Great Falls, Mont. (Special) Senator Wayne Morse (D-Ore.) in a speech here recently, brand ed as "the handwriting on the wall for a curtailed, inadequate development plan," the recently released "Preliminary Findings" of the Corps of Engineers in its "review" of the 1948 "308 Re port." Speaking before the annual convention of the Montana Far mers Union here, the Oregon Senator described the document as "a grim warning of what can be expected if the Eisenhower Administration's river develop ment policies are continued." He described the "review" findings as providing less flood control, less but, more costly power, less irrigation, and serious conserva tion threats. Question Posed Taking note of the current series of hearings in the North west dealing with the review, the Senator described the issue at stake as: "Shall the natural resources of the Columbia Basin be developed fully in the public interest or sacrificed to piece meal underdevelopment to pro mote the monopoly position and profits of a few private utili ties?" Morse praised the original "308 Report" and the progress made on its recommendations until 1953, when, he said, "the Eisenhower-McKay Administra tion proved it had no interest in multi-purpose development at the Libby Dam site by breaking off all negotiations on the shar ing of benefits with Canada." "At about the same time," he added, "the Eisenhower - McKay wrecking crew started the same sort of job at Hells Canyon . . . but the Hells Canyon fight is far from over as the favorable vote in the U.S. Senate proved last June." Forest Grove Girl Named Top Journalist Spokane ilF Maxine Moore, a high school senior from Forest Grove, Ore., was named top journalist at the ninth annual Northwest High School Press Conference which concluded at Gonzaga university here Satur day.

McGirr, 66, former Labor Party was responsible for introducing legislation bringing the 40-hour work week to Australia in 1947. Sawdust doesn't help. She is such a stub born girl. She is too young to understand what she is doing to her life. Her married sister is willing to take the baby and bring him up as her own, but Barbara refuses to give in even this much. Barbara M. I refuse to be shamed or bullied into anything. My parents say I'll never be able to get married with an il- i legitimate baby, but I don't want any man I'd have to lie to. He takes me as I am, or not at all. I want this baby. I was very much in love and I'm not asham ed of anything. I'm willing to tell the world this is my baby. My parents cry, "Shame!" but plenty of people think I have courage. It is very generous of my sis ter to be willing to take the baby, but I want to be able to call him my own. I couldn't stand to hear my child call my sister "Mother" and to look at ! me almost like a stranger. The' whole family is ashamed of me, but they don't have to ; worry. I'll go away where I won't disgrace them. And I won't lie and say my baby's father is dead either. The Council: The R. M.'s are putting the emphasis in the wrong place when they stress the shame of Barbara's position and their worry that she won't be able to marry. Barbara has someone other than herself to consider at this time. If Barbara talks her problems over with a clergyman or with a social worker' attached to a ' family agency, she will come to see that she must consider the I future of her child, above all else. "Plenty of people" may think she has courage, but in bearing this child she is not put ting on a performance for the benefit of the public. This admiring crowd will not be able to help her when she faces the inevitable problems how to care for her child and at the same time support both him and herself, what to tell her child when he asks about his father, what to tell him when other children say things that might shame him, how to make up to him emotionally for the lack of a father. Barbara is right that giving the baby to her sister would not work. It would be the worst pos sible arrangement. But Barbara must be aware that keeping her child will take more than cour age. It will take work and great patience and intelligence. She should realize that she cannot change her mind after the first few months without risking emotional damage to her child and the chances of ar ranging a satisfactory legal ad option for an older child are slim. Barbara must recognize that this is not an occasion for mak ing grand gestures, but for deep, serious consideration and firm, mature judgment. (Copyright 1957. General Features, Corp?)
