o Spinster Justice Says Parents Need Firm Hand By ROBERT VAN BUSKIRK United Press Correspondent Vale, Ore. HP) A spinster justice of the peace advocates a firm hand with a razor strap to disenchant juveniles-Jawbreakers. Judge Mary Graham had a few sharp words to say abou? pampering parents, whose mo ments of distress come after their children get into trouble with the law. "If they had allowed them selves to become disturbed enough to apply the razor strop at the appropriate time, they wouldn't be troubled about their kids later," she said in an interview. She advocated a firm hand at an early age. She said she was not suggesting paddling as a regular thing, but that parents ought to discipline their children at least to the I extent of inculcating respect for their elders. O "Nowadays the children, in many cases, are raising the parents," said Miss Graham. "There seems to be a com plete lack of parental guid ance in the home." Early Start Needed Asked if she thought that the razor strop ought to be used when the youngsters reach teenage stage, Miss Gra ham replied that she saw no reason why it wouldn't be effective. However, "she said a late start after neglect in theHarly years might not (pro duce results. "Iv'some cases it would be like throwing water on a duck's back," the judge added. Miss Graham continued that "public censure is one of the strongest weapons against teenage offenders." 0 "I have rifevgr approved of keeping their names out of the paper because of humilia tion," she said. "And often, public humiliation might awaken parents to their par ental responsibilities." The judge also favors legis lation which would make par ents responsible for the acts of their children, and even subject them to penalties. ShtQeels that parents would be more aware of their young sters' activities if they knew they would answer for ftiy trouble involving their chil dren. How come, the magistrate is giving advice about rearing children, when she remains single; "Thank God I'm single," she snapped, "if I couldn't do a better job than some mod ern parents." lPftpimiriril - o All Sales STARTS TOMORROW!

She was a guest at the annual Parents' tea of the Jackson County Special Education class, and was presented a cake. 0 This was no ordinary cake. It was made by one of the boys at the school, Johnny Wilson of Central Point, who had competed with other classmates in making the best confection for Mrs. Inch, and had won. The cake represented a play ground and a little red schoolhouse. The playground, of chocolate frosting, was complete Tvith slides and teeter- totters made from DaDer straws and foil, there were trees and flowers, and a lrttla American flag flew from the topQ of the red schqplhuaa a Potpourri d"i4t s&a ICrs.

And the cake wae thoroughly en joyed down to the last bit at red schoolhouse frosting. o Pappy and Potpourri spent last Sunday with a jaunt to South Umpqua Falls in the Tiller area. The pleasures of the day-included a slight family 'argument, Pappy maintaining that the two of us had traveled over the Tiller-Trail road at least once befoft and Potpourri equally sure that we hadn't. Q ' 0 At any rate the day turned out well; the weather was warm and bright, we found several interesting wild flowers to photograph, identified a tree new to Potpourri and thor oughly enjoyed seeing the beautiful South Umpqua Sriver and the falls, theCSalls tuning out to be completely differ ent than anything we'd seen before. The water at the falls actually doesn't "fall" very far but instead is spread out over an odd rock formation in a gently curving sheet which ripples and shimmers and doesn't appear to be very deep or swift. Hcwever, at one side there is a bowl-shaped hole into which the water does fall with theOcharacteristic roar and" rumble of other water falls. A fish ladder has been constructed at the side near the bowl, but although the Jwo of us watched for quite some time, we saw no fish. Two men also watching said they had not seen any fish using the ladder, but that they both had caught their limit down stream. Q O The South Umpqua is a beautiful stream there are many spots of "white water" and some small rapids; the vegetation is lush and green. Last Sunday the wild lilacs and the wild roses were both in bloom, a joyful sight. The road sides were also bright with hundreds of clumps of the small yellow daisies which some call Oregon sunshine, we saw many white daisies, several clumps of low, pink flowers which we ouldn't find in the wild flower book, a larger yellows daisy new to both of us and three or four clumps of a bluish-purple flower identical to some growing in the yard at home and which all these years we'd called aubretia. This was the first time we'd ever found it growing in the woods; we couldn't find it in the wild flower book, either, so now all is confusion. One thing we did identify for sure canyoh live oak. The one from which we picked a sprig was small and shrulg) like, but according to the Extension service bulletin we consulted, it accommodates itself to the location if the tree has room it sometimes grows as high as 80 feet. The bulletin calls the live oak a "split personality," because it has two kinds of leaves on the same tree, one leaf looking rather like holly and the other smooth edged. The tree is an evergreen hence the name "live" oak. o Sunday's trip sent us browsing in McArthur's "Oregon Geographic Names." This authority gives no background for the name Umpqua except that it is Indian, but does point out the various ways of spelling. The different spellings, include Umptqua, Umquah, Imp-qua, and Umkwa, as well as the Umpqua now in general usage. A sign on one of the creeks which flows into the South Umpqua says "Coffee Pot Creek." However, McArthur lists only a creek by this name in Lane county and refers to the one in Douglas county as being merely Coffee Creek. He adds that according to some authorities, it was named by miners in 1858 "because of some joke about a coffee pot." Chicago (IP) A style conscious housewife can be a safety hazard at work in the home, O. L. Hogsett, Univer sity of Illinois safety special ist says. A "safe" home dress, he said, should not be a fire hazard and sHould not catch on- knobs and handles. Chances of falling are in creased when skirts are too narrow or too full. A mqder ately full, gathered skirt gen erally gives enough room for kneeling and stooping. The housewife with a bent toward the glamorous in clothes would do herself a favor by avoiding long sashes, ties and generally frilly ac cessories, Hogsett said. Sleeves also can be a haz ard if they are too full, too wide or too long. And, he warned, avoid us ing a corner of a dress or apron as a pot-holder. Sound waves travel at a rate of about 1,100 feet per second. MAIL TRIBUNE, M.dforJ, Ortfon, Sunday, Jun. 1, IMS 7A WEDDING...
