New Signs of Life Showing Up InSovier Consumer Goods Front
Edward M. I want to go
to college away from home.
Mm. H. M. We have to
keep an eye on him.
Edward M. I am a 16-year-old
boy having a big fracas
with my parents over my im
pending college career.
I have picked several col
leges that I want to apply to
all of them quite far from my
home. My parents want me to
go to a college right near our
community. I know, a lot of
guys who go to this college
who have told me that it's
rotten poor teaching, large
classes and little freedom.
My parents want me to go
to this college because I would
live at home. It's not that
they can't afford to send me
out of town, it's just that they
baby me and want to watch
me. I feel it's high time I
got off on my own. I would
be willing to work to meet
my additional expenses.
Mrs. H. M. My husband
and I don't want to baby Ed
die, but we are often forced
to because of his own actions.
He was quite sickly as a
child, and although he has out
grown some of his physical
problems, he still must take
care of himself get enough
rest, take precautions in bad
weather, avoid violent exer
cise. We find we have to keep
after him constantly to get
him to observe the simplest
rules. He stays out much too
late, pays no attention to any
of the precautions the doctor
has advised and never turns
down a chance to knock him
self out.
Eddie just wants to get
away from home and tries
to use the excuse that the col
lege in our community is no
good. Many people think well
of it.
The Council: A once-sickly
adolescent boy, now hell bent
on proving his independence
and stamina certainly spells
double trouble to the parents.
He's just like every teenage
boy only much more so.
We do think, however, it
would be the better part of
wisdom to use, rather than
fight Eddie's strong desire to
go to a college far from home.
It is important he go to col
lege of his own choice, and
he may prove to be far more
responsible when away from
home than when he is near
his parent's hovering arms.
We would suggest that the
H. M.'s put Eddie on trial
during his senior year at high
school. They would agree to
"lay off" bothering him about
taking care of himself, but he
must prove himself fully capa
ble of showing restraint and
judgment in his daily life. We
realize this could lead to a
lot of arguments about what
constitutes "restraint and
judgment," so we'd suggest a
general agreement be drawn
up containing some very con
crete stipulations.
We recognize it may be
possible for Eddie to pass his
trail period faily successfully
with the idea of "letting
loose" when he gets to college.
So there should be room for
his parents to make a final
decision based on Eddie's gen
eral maturity. He may change
a great deal in one year and
the habits of his trial period
may become fairly fixed.
His parents should show
they are prepared to be hon
est and fair and that they
want him to go to the college
of his choice. It is up to him
to prove he is ready to do it.
We suggest that parents
who have the same problem
with healthy boys and girls
try the same method.

Moscow (IP! All along
the Soviet consumer goods
front there are small stir
rings and new signs of life.
The newspapers are writing
more than ever about the need
to raise the output and qual-
! ity of everthing from hosiery
and children's shoes to furni
ture and television sets.
Soviet leaders are fervent
ly emphasizing the same
things in their speeches. On
the lower levels, factory di
rectors throughout the coun
try are consulting with the
new local economic councils
on how to translate these as
pirations into practice.
More important than all the
talk, the government has as
signed extra funds to several
Earmarked Sales
Tax Plan Fraud,
Hatfield Asserts
Portland (IP) Secretary
of State Mark Hatfield said
in a campaign speech he:
the other day that a sales tax
for education or earmarked
for property tax relief would
result in an increased cost of
living for the average tax
payer.
"Representation that a sales
tax earmarked for property
tax reduction will give sub
stantial relief to the majority
of Oregonians is a fraud and
a deception," Hatfield said.
"Even under the most glow
ing conditions, a sales tax in
such form would only result
in a S60 annual property tax
reduction for the average
home-owner while his new
tax burden on retail sales
would be double that figure.
Negative Effect
"Unless a sales tax were
made in lieu of income taxes
we would find it having a
negative effect on business
stimulation and it would have
a crippling effect, economi
cally, on those with fixed in
comes," Hatfield asserted.
"While one of Portland's ho
tels might save $19,000 on
property tax, or a large utili
ty $1,400,000, the average
home-owner would find his
reductions more than eaten
up in increased costs of living
through expenditures for
automobiles, appliances, fur
niture and other goods in a
year's time," Hatfield said.
Cattlemen Busy
With Committees
Ontario OP) Delegates to
the 45th annual convention of
the Oregon Cattlemen's Asso
ciation meeting here were
busy today attending commit
tee meetings in the second day
of the conclave. Working com
mittees included those for
membership and finance, mar
keting and transportation,
public lands, legislation and
taxation, beef promotion and
others.
The business session today
was to feature reports by the
working committees, voting
on resolutions and annual
election of officers.
George Russell, Vale, presi
dent of the OCA, told the
group Monday that the goal at
this annual meeting is to
evaluate Oregon beef indus
try's past, present and future
and to acquaint every state
beef producer with these find
ings and recommendations."
The convention will wind
up Wednesday.
A "Little Ruhr" producing
steel and other metals to the
extent of 1,200,000 tons an
nually, is being constructed
in southeastern Venezuela. A
decade ago this section of
land was almost uninhabited.

branches of light industry.
Recently the Soviet govern
ment " announced it would
spend an additional 195 mil
lion rubles to build up the
shoe and textile nidustries in
1958.
It has assigned 290 million
more rubles to the furniture
industry for this year, due to
the great increase in housing
construction.
Results Noticeable
Results are beginning to be
noticeable in the shops, es
pecially in the big cities,
where the supplies of textiles
and refrigerators, radios, TV,
washing machines, bicycles
and motorcycles, cameras and
vacuum cleaners are greater
this year than last year.
Of course nowhere are
there anywhere near enough
of any of these items, except
perhaps cameras. Crowds
cluster before the counters
when a fresh shipment of
goods arrives.
All of these stirrings and
signs of new life are being
taken as an indication that
the Khrushchev regime grad
ually intends to make good
its promises for a higher
standard of living.
This is not the first time
the Soviet party has given its
approval to a widely expand
ed program of consumer
goods production. An empha
sis on light industry was a
distinguished feature of the
Malenkov goverment in 1953.
But Malenkov's 'plan did not
last any longer than his gov
ernment. Khrushchev and his eco
nomic planners are turning to
improved planning and de
centralized administration as
one way of raising the amount
and quality of consumer
goods production.
Capital Investments Needed
But they also realize that
capital investments are neces
sary if there is to be any real
expansion of light industry.
Sergei Trifonov, a deputy
minister of domestic trade in
the Soviet Union, is well
aware of the shortages, and
shortcomings of Soviet con
sumer production.
But when a foreign visitor
comes to talk with him in his
office, he tries to emphasize
the positive sides of the sub
ject. He proudly shows pic
tures of new refrigerators,
portable phonographs and
tape recorders, handy little
sewing machines, new good
looking models of TV sets,
and many other items, all
just made or about to be
made for the Soviet shops.
However, as Trifonov ad
mits, progress will come only
gradually. He said that as
long as there is such a scarci
ty of consumer goods, install
ment buying will not be in
troduced in the Soviet Union.
