United Press Correspondent ing the sign: "Controlled New York IP! A team of electronic wizards has worked out details of the electronic highway of the future, a highly sensitive and intelligent slab of pavement that can control your steer ing, braking, and acceleration automatically. The trick is turned by burying a continuous series of circuits loops, cable, and transistors in the roadbed and along the highway. Thus wired, the road itself strait jackets your car to a sane course with the help, of course, of receiving devices in each vehicle. In a report on their pro posed system to the Highway Research Board in Washing ton, V. K. Zworykin and L. E. Flory of RCA Laboratories, Princeton, N. J. asserted: "All of the electronic means exist for accomplishing any degree of control which can be eco nomically maintained." " So, the vision opens of bar reling up to the automaton highway please switch to electronic drive." Select your lane, and that's it. You can be'gin a gin rummy game with your passengers, read a book, catch up on office work, or maybe even turn on a port able television. Well, that may take care of the problem of highway accidents taking the gas pedal, brake and steering wheel away from the fool hardy driver. But it seems to me these electronic planners have missed the boat for traf fic in big cities. What about the foolhardy pedestrian? Can he be wired for safety? New York City has all but thrown up its hands at the attitude of its pedestrians. In stalling big "Walk," and "Don't walk," signs at inter sections, it began an inten sive educational campaign against jaywalking. Police men pitched in and tried to Recently the chief magis trate said the program obvi ously hasn't made much of an impact on New York's walking millions. He said the education should go on "an other year or two" before penalties are fixed by law. Maybe the engineers could help: How about fixing the street corners so that a man gets a custard pie automatic ally flung in his puss the minute he steps off the curb against the lights? Or, maybe the streets could be charged with current, shocking some sense into jaywalkers. As a last resort, the city could require all pedesterians to wear an electro-magnet on each knee which would freeze the jaywalker's legs together, immovable, when the "Don't walk" shortwave current was on. Let science march. What we need is electronic - con trol sidewalks. Vole for James M. MAIN PHOENIX Woman Returns From Trip By LILLIAN KNIGHT Phoenix Mrs. B. A.

Mrs. Guy Cobleigh is feel ing better and is able to be up for short periods of time aft er her attack of virus pneumonia. This Easter Sunday was the first one that the J. B. Stovall family spent apart. The day began with a tele phone call from their son, Bryson, who is in the Air Force at Lackland Air Force Base, Texas. Charlotte, their daughter, who is attending Oregon State college, was also unable to be home but she spent her spring vacation at home with her folks the week before Easter. However there were twenty-nine relatives and friends for dinner, an egg hunt, and baseball games. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. Phillip Reynolds and children, Mr. and Mrs. Jack Beasham and family, all from Table Rock; Mrs. Buck Tosh and daughter, Phyllis, and Mrs. Tosh's niece, Beverly, Roy Reynolds, Mr. and Mrs. E. L.

Mrs. Elvy Hunter of Ash land called on her bother, Mrs. B. A. Montgomery, on I Thursday, and . they went shopping in Medford. Mr. and Mrs. Guy Cobleigh are new grandparents. A son, Mrs. Arthur Boner is in Cecil, Ore., this week on a vacation and is visiting her daughter,' Mr. and Mrs. Henry Krebs and family. ' Mrs. Earl Floyd and daugh ter, Ruth, left Friday, April 4, to drive to Portland for a visit with her sister, Mrs. Al Befrs.

Belding of Grants Pass were Easter The Family Council Editor's note: The Family Council consists ot a judge, a psychiatrist, three clergymen, a newspaper editor, a women's editor and two writers. Each article is a summary ot an actual report. The Family Council does not give advice: it merely reports on problems that have been dealt with by responsible agencies and counselo-s Norma S My sister hogs the whole show. Mrs. L. S. She should try to be more like her sister. Norma S 1 am 14 and very unhappy because of my sister, who is 16. Greta is very pretty and a wonderful dancer and a good athlete. Of course, she is ter rifically popular. I'm only average in everything and no body ever notices me except to say that I'm "Greta's sis ter." When Greta walks into a room everyone turns and takes notice. I can just sit and sit and nobody knows I'm there. I know that it's not right to be jealous, but I can't help it sometimes. How will I ever have friends or get anywhere in the world if my sister hogs the whole show? . Mrs. L. S. It has been a real problem to raise these two girls with their complete ly different temperaments. Everyone thinks Greta is a great beauty but she isn't. She just happens to light' up like a Christmas tree when she sees an audience. Norma is a pretty girl in her own right, but she doesn't do any thing to call attention to her self. I keep telling her to be more like her sister. We have tried to get Greta to take Norma in on her do ings, but it just doesn't work. Norma complains that nobody likes her they just take her out for Greta's sake. . The Council: Mrs. L. S. is making a mistake in telling Norma to be "more like her sister" and in trying to get Greta to take on the respon sibility for Norma's social life. Norma already lives far too much in relation to her sister. She must begin to see her self as a very separate indi vidual with entirely different qualities from her sister qualities that other people can like and admire. Perhaps the first - step in helping Norma would be to make her conscious of the fact that to a great extent she is master of her destiny. She, and nobody else, is .robbing herself of friends and good times. Her sister could "hog" a dozen shows and there would still be some left over for Norma to star in. The girls are close in age, but there is still enough dif ference for them to have en tirely separate groups of friends. If Norma cannot be happy in the same group with her sister, she must find her own. Mrs. L. S. can help her daughter by encouraging her to develop the social skills that throw her into meaning ful contact with others. Sports, music, dramatics, danc ing are all excellent. Even the more "lonely" hobby activ ities like reading, drawing, painting, photography, can be very helpful in developing the personality and giving the youngster ' points of contact with others. A girl like Norma may develop much more confidence in herself if she can excel in such a skill. A little success and social experience will help Norma mature to the point where she will be able to accept the fact that not every girl can be the one "everyone turns to and . notices" when she walks into i room. Many girls with less dramatic appeal have great popularity and closer, warmer friendships. (Copyright 1958, General Features Corp.) CHECK-UP FOR GENERAL) New Orleans OP) Gen.
