Selma M. Mother should
tonsider my feelings.
Mrs. L. M. She should at
least keep herself neat.
Selma M. I am very trou
bled by the unhappy relation
ihip I have been having lately
with my parents, particularly
my mother.
I am, frankly, sn old maid.
I am nearing 40. I was never
an attractive girl and I cer
tainly haven't improved with
age. My mother was quite a
beauty in her youth and al
ways looked forward to hav
ing a daughter like herself. I
realize I am a great disap
pointment to her and -to my
father.
She always has been a good
mother to me, nevertheless.
But recently I find I can't
take the little cutting remarks
she makes about my appear
ance and my situation. I talk
back to her and we have vio
lent quarrels. I want peace
but can't seem to keep my
temper with her. I think she
should consider my feelings.
Mrs. L. M. As Selma says,
I have always been a good
mother to her. I have done
everything I could do for her.
Many sacrifices had to be
made to give her a good home,
nice clothes and a good edu
cation. I never spared myself
or thought of myself first
when it came to doing things
for her.
Of course, it is a disappoint
ment to us that Selma did not
marry, but I can't help feel
ing she should have made
more of an effort. It is not
only the beauties who get
married.
I don't want to hurt Sel
ma's feelings, but I can't help
saying something when I see
her going out looking like a
slob with runs in her stock
ings and her hair a mess. She
doesn't have to look like Mar
ilyn Monroe, but she can at
least keep herself reasonably
neat.
e
The Council: A great deal
of damage was done. to Selma
a long, long time ago. It will
take considerable effort on
Selma's part to repair it.
Despite her near-40 years,
Selma sees herself as a help
less child in the hands of her
parents. She is mainly con
cerned about the fact that she
is a "disappointment" to them
and is easily hurt when her
mother shows disapproval of
her in any way.
Selma must recognize she
is a full woman with a life
ahead to build. That life will
become anything she serious
ly tries to create. It can be
nothing at all if she persists
in living solely in relation to
her parents.
Mrs. L. M. does show con
siderable bitterness about
Selma, and we suspect she
recognizes she has had some
responsibility for Selma's un-
happiness. The "good home,
nice clothes and good educa
tion" mean very little to a
child who feels somewhat re
jected by the parents. Disap
proval of his or her appear
ance is one form of rejection.
Any child who feels com
pletely loved will have some
measure of beauty.
When Selma dresses her
self sloppily she is showing
how little she cares for her
self, reflecting what she be
lieves is her parents' attitude
toward her. Yet she cannot
accept criticism because this
is one more rebuff from them.
She must try to grow out of
these childish patterns and
recognize that there is un
doubtedly both physical and
spiritual beauty asleep in her.
She must make the effort to
bring both out. Then she will
find that others find her ap
pealing and she will be drawn
to ever wider contacts.
Selma's problem is no long
er her relationship with her
mother, as she believes, but
her attitude toward herself
and others and the Ufe she
has yet to build. The under
taking is a big one and we
believe she may require some
psychiatric help.

Trans-Atlantic Airlines Wage Hot War
Over What Constitutes Cold Sandwich
Britain To Pass
Verdict on 'Lady'
London (IP) Britain's
drama critics, usually tough
where American imports are
concerned, pass the verdict
tonight that will determine
whether "My Fair Lady" is
the greatest musical comedy
of the English speaking stage.
Already acclaimed the best
on Broadway, the musical
version of G. B. Shaw's "Pyg
malion" opens its London
run at the historic Drury
Lane Theater near the spot
where Shaw actually set the
scene of the first meeting of
flower seller Eliza Doolittle
and Prof. Henry Higgins.
There has been less planned
publicity, of "My Fair Lady"
than of any show in recent
history. But the producers
haven't been able to keep the
show or its stars Julie An
drews, Rex Harrison and
Stanley Holloway out of
the newspapers.
The producers hiked the
price of orcnestra seais jj
cents to $3.50, a record, in
London's West End. This
means that if the show is a
smash hit it may be the first
musical ever to top a million
pounds ($2,800,000) at the
London box office.
By DOC QUIGG
United Press Correspondent
New York W One of
the most heartening continu
ing news stories of this month
has been about the hot war
between the trans - Atlantic
airlines over what constitutes
a simple cold sandwich.
It shows that despite a rath
er messy international pic
ture, in which outer space is
obscured by inner politics, we I
sun can tind time to locus on
the realities of life, including
the defense posture of the
sandwich.
In a formal ruling handed
down by its "breaches com
mittee" in London, and made
public through headquarters
in Montreal, the Internation
al Air Transport Association
has scrapped the traditional

Force doctors today treated
the wind-burned eyes and
frostbitten face of young 1st.
Lt. James E. Obenauf, who
remained in the open cock
pit of a flaming B47 jet bomb
er to save an unconscious
comrade and the plane.
Obenauf, 24, piloted the
aircraft 300 miles Tuesday
with a sub-zero, 450-mile-an
hour wind tearing at his face
after discovering a crew
member was unconscious and
without a parachute.
The aircraft commander,
Maj. James M. Graves, 38, of
Fort Worth, Tex., and the
navigator, 1st Lt. John P.
Cobb, 25, of Elko, Nev., had
already bailed out when Ob
enauf set the controls and
started to jump.
On his way to the nose es
cape hatch, he stumbled over
unconscious Maj. Joseph B.

climbed back to the cockpit,
from which the canopy had
already been jettisoned and
headed the plane down and
southeast toward Dyess Air
Force Base at Abilene.
He landed the $2.5 million
plane on five engines 50 min
utes after the fire started.
dictionary definition.
A "simple, inexpensive,
cold" sandwich, under the
IATA ruling, does not have
to be clothed, top and bottom,
by two o more slices of
bread, as the dictionaries
state. It may be open. All
that's required on the bread
question is that a "substan
tial and visible" portion of
the thing be breadlike ma
terial. Named for Englishman
Now according to song and
story, the sandwich was nam
ed after one John Montagu,
the fourth Earl of Sandwich
(1718-92), who was so fond of
gambling that he smuggled
his food between two hunks
of bread and ' ate it thus in
order not to leave the gaming
tables for meals. ,
So both the founding father
and the dictionaries, who con
ceived of, and defined, a
sandwich as a layer of food
stuff swathed in bread, were
overruler at least for pur
pose? of flying the Atlantic
at economy fare.
But there is yet another
division of thought on the
subject. Pan American, which
with Trans World Airlines
complained to the IATA that
four European air carriers
were serving luxury "sand
wiches" on the economy fare
runs, got an unsolicted but
undoubtedly authoritative rul
ing from a Philidelphia deli
catessen man.
Sent it on' a postcard, it
said with simple dignity:
"When is a sandwich not a
sandwich? A sandwich is as
much as you can get between
two or more pieces of bread
that you can get between
your teeth. No knife or fork
permitted. So said Lord Mon
tagu." One-hand Limit
But the IATA, or London
Montreal axis, expanded con
siderably on the Philidelphia
delicatessen dictum. It ruled
that a sandwich ceases being
a sandwich when it is lavish
ly heaped so high that it can
not be picked up in one hand.
Thus the IATA has scrap
ped traditional (or Philidel
phia) rule of bite capacity
and substituted the rule of
hand-span-which allows for a
much taller sandwich. Unless,
of course, your name is Joe
E. Brown or Martha Raye or
Lassie.
Perhaps economy-fare pas
sengers might want to con
sider an old-fashioned reme
dy: How about bringipg your
own shoebox full of kitchen j
goodies from home?
The Hollywood Scene
Hollywood W Gloria
Wood stands a petite five feet.
But she's got a big vocal tal
ent that makes her the most
heard if little known voice
in the world.
. Gloria bases her broad
claim on the fact that she's
done more than 1000 com
mercials during the past
year, and was the voice on
best-seller record "Hey, Bell
boy," a few years back, and
as vocalist with Kay Kyser
recorded several discs which
sold more than a million cop
ies each.
One of the Kyser records,
"Woody Woodpecker," sold
more than 4 million.
Tired of Anonymity
While Gloria probably has
made a better living by con
centrating on commercials
than she might have done had
she been plugging away to be
come a hit recording star, the
blonde with the . four-octave
voice admits she's tired of the
anonymity.
"Don't misunderstand," she
cautioned with a wink, "I'm
not knocking my residuals,
And I have as much commer
cial work as I can use. But I
would like to record a song
which 'sells a . million and
has my name on it."
"Hey, Bellboy," came close
to it but it wasn't the same,
according to Gloria.
By HAZEL JOHNSON
, United Press Writer
Singing Too Suggestive
"I sang along with the in
struments, mostly the trum
pets, and the only lyrics were
an occasional 'Hey, Bellboy',"
she said. "And wouldn't you
know it, they later got around
to banning it, claiming the
way I said it was too sugges
tive." Gloria subsequently decid
ed to cut four records of her
own rock 'n' roll and bal
ladson a speculation basis.
When Columbia Records'
Mitch Miller heard one of
them, "Mr. Sorrow," he sign
ed her and let her select her
own records for an album to
be released in June "Wood
for the Fire."

NOT MORE TAXES
But MORE TAXPAYERS!
Eve Nye Believes:
2.
That Oregon's growth is handicapped by its tax
structure.
That Oregon needs NOT more taxes but a pro
gram which spreads the burden fairly on all.
That a sales tax, carefully drawn with exemp
tions to protect low-income families and farm
ers, and with specific off-set provisions against
existing taxes, should be given full considera
tion.
That our tax structure must make Oregon at
tractive to new industry, thereby creating new
jobs and more tax payers.

PROGRAM FOR ALL THE PEOPLE OF OREGON!

Kafhy Fiscus'
Rescuer Killed
Pasadena, Calif. PI Hero
ic William Yancey, who
braved death nine'years ago in
a futile attempt to save Kathy
Fiscus from dying in an aban
doned well, was killed Tues
day when the walls of a sewer
trench collapsed and buried
him.
The accident happened less
than a mile from the spot
where 3-year-old Kathy suffo
cated almost 100 feet under
ground in a 14-inch well
casing.
Yancey, 47, a sewer con
tractor, was inspecting the
trench when eight feet of earth
fell upon him.
Rescuers dug frantically to
save him but he was dead
when they finally clawed the
dirt away from his head.
Yancey was one of the
bravest and most stalwart
workers to offer his services
to save Kathy from her tomb
during the round-the-clock dig
ging operations.
He lent his excavation
equipment to dig a tunnel
parallel to the pipe which
trapped the little girl and then
pitched in in the close con
fines of the shaft to dig.
