The 1st district Repub lican representative said he is mailing out about 85,000 copies to what he considers a suitable cross-section of the voters of all political alle giance. The questionnaire, under a large photo of Nor blad superimposed over a pic ture of the U. S. Capitol, lists 16 questions ranging from missiles to a state sales tax. "As your representative in Congress, I am interested in knowing your viewpoint on many o the issues coming be fore this current session," Norblad wrote each recipient. "This is the best way I know to make the federal govern ment more responsive to the ideas of the individual Ameri can." Norblad said he phrased each question "so they would be unbiased and not an indi cation of my own feelings." Hitchcock May Be Foe The only Republican in the Oregon congressional delega tion, Norblad may have heavy opposition this year. Philip Hitchcock of Portland is a likely GOP challenger in the primary. Attorney General Robert Y. Thornton is consid ering running fpr Norblad's seat, if he gets the Democratic nomination. In a reflection of what is sues he considers prime ones for the coming session of Con gress and the election to fol low, Norblad posed these questions: Should defense spending be boosted a billion or more for missiles and satellites, and should domestic federal pro grams be curtailed? Should the farm price sup port program be continued, and should it be extended be yond basic crops? Should Congress require la bor union books to be audited publicly, and should anti trust laws be applied to un ions? Should postal rates be raised to reduce the post of-j fice deficit? construction program be launched? Should reterans -with non service connected disabilities continue to get government payments, and access to vet erans hospitals? And should all World War I vets get a pension without regard to fi nancial need? of continuing our reciprocal trade agreements? The last question dealt with an issue not before Congress. "As you know, there is a great deal of discussion in Oregon currently on a state sales tax." observed Norblad. "Do you favor an Oregon sales tax?" The Family Council Editor'i note: The Family Council consists of a judge, a psychiatrist, three clergymen, a newspaper editor, a women's editor and two writers. Each article is a summary of an actual report. The Family Council does not give advice: it merely reports on problems that have been dealt nith by responsible agencies and counselors. Mrs. L. P. Frank won't The Council: Frank, burst stop going out with a 13-year- ' ing with adolescent energy, old. resentment and the desire to Frank P Nobody s going prove himself, plus Gloria, to push me around. Mrs. L. P. My husband and I are quite concerned about our 17-yar-old boy, Frank, who is very short and young-looking for his age. Frank is very eager to date girls, as all of his friends do, but the girls of 15 and 16 just won't go out with him. It was pathetic to see him call girl after girl and get "no" for an answer when he wanted to go to one of the school dances. As a result, Frank started going out with a 13-year-old girl whose parents objected to her going out at all espec ially with a boy as old as Frank. The kids started going out on the sly, but her parents heard about it and asked us to stop Frank. We have cut off his allowance, but he re fuses to stop seeing this girl. Frank P It's not that I'm so crazy about this girl Glor ia, but I'm not going to have everyone treating me as though I'm a 2-year-old: I don't need any allowance to take Gloria out because I make enough money working weekends in a store. Everyone seems to think they can push me around as though I was nobody, just because I look young for my age. Some guys I know have the minds of an infant in the crib, but girls go out with them because they are six feet tall. Gloria and I are doing no thing wrong by going out. Her parents have some nerve to complain about me. She has gone out with other boys on the sly before. She isn't any innocent baby when it comes to boys and dating. a tricky, rebellious 13-year-old, add up to a dangerous combination. The L. P.'s would do weel to heed the warning of Gloria's parents and try to control the situa tion from their end. Frank need lots of reas surance about his appearance and his Suture with girls, but his parents can't give this to him if they let themselves be drawn into his feeling of despair. His mother shows a bit too much sympathy for him on this subject and too little grasp of reality. Frank should be made to realize that he can expect to grow and change quite rapid ly within the next few years, but that in any case, physical appearance counts less and less with girls as they grow older. They honor ability and personality far more. Frank should be encouraging: to sit out this difficult period, work at improving his school grades and gaining new skills so that within a couple of years he can shine as he would like to. One way of getting Frank to calm down a bit on the subject of dates and girls is to treat him as much like a i L NAMED MANAGER Jack Rouhier, 515 South Grape st., Medford, has been named district manager of the Louis F.

He should be shown that his opinions and attitudes will be respected if they are reason able. Then he can be shown that his attitude about Gloria is unreasonable. A responsi ble man of 17 does not take out a child of 13 against her parents' wishes. He'll get the idea, if his ego gets the right kind of lift at the same time.
