In the Day's News By FRANK JBNKINS I suppose you have read and listened to the political lundupj and post mortems on xne uaiuornia primary election. They have been nu merous. In general, the Demo cratic comment has been jubi- lant. About the best the Re publicans have been .able to do is to put on a brave front and say WAIT TILL NOVEM BER. An impartial observer must certainly admit that as of now nothing seems more cer tain than that the Democrats will heavily " increase their present rather thin control of both houses of congress. Among other things, this is a recession period. In our re cession periods (which seem to be an inevitable part of our economic system) the people aren't too happy with the way things are going. When people aren't too happy with the way things are going, their inclination is to vote the ins out. A T THIS point, I'd like to offer a little advice. Don't listen TOO MUCH to Job Hearing Due Women, Minors Salem (UPI) A public hearing wilrbe held in Port land Wednesday, with a view to drafting new regulations governing employment of women and minors in in dustry. The hearing, called by the State Wage and Hour Com mission, will consider a pro posal to raise the present wage floor from 65 cents to $1. Other standards that will be discussed include the present 44-hour maximum week, over time pay, weight lifting, sani tation, safety and general health protection. Labor Commissioner Nor man O. Nilsen said any recom mendations made at the meet ing would be considered. Chairman of the board drafting new regulations is Gladys M. Everett, Portland. The hearing will start at 10 a.m. iii -the Portland State Office building, o C Grammichele, Sicily (UPI) Michele Fragapane, 33, a Sicilian working in Switzerland, returned home when he heard reports hi 'wife was unfaithful. He ar rived by train, asked two po licemen to accompany him home, found his wifa with man, filed adultery charges and took the net trfjin back to Switzerland. the politicians. At least, don't accept what they say as gos pel. Listen in an appraising and -intelligently critical mood. Apply the test of your own intelligence to what the politicians say. Remember that the politi cians are running for office. Remember that the party or ganizations are reaching for power. SIZE up the trends of party policies. (Don't pay too much attention to the party PLATFORM. Party platforms are coming to be nothing much more than sticky fly paper put out to catch votes.) Appraise political trends in the light of what is best for our country over the long pull. Remember that in the leng run what is best for our country will be best for ALL OF US. I F YOU think the Democrats have a generally better program, vote for Democrats. If ou feel that the GOP nroeram is better for our country, vote for Republi cans. Remember that POLITICS is the art of kidding people into voting for somebody. STATESMANSHIP is a mi raculous combination of pa triotism, wisdom, sound judg ment and the COURAGE to use these qualities for the betterment of our country: Our ereat need is more statesmen in politics. Try and Stop Me -By BENNETT CERF- HARRY OLIVER, self-styled "desert rat," met an intoxicated tenderfoot in a Palm Springs cafe who was doing some complicated mathematics on the back of an old menu. "I figure it this way," he explained. "My wife's on a diet. She told me she's losing 12 pounds every month. She now weighs 168. I oughta be rid of her in just 14 months!" Oliver also tells of a ment al patient scheduled for re lease after 20 long years in the asylum. They gave him a razor to shave himself for the occasion. The razor got caught in the string sup porting the mirror, which thereupon slipped to the floor. The patient found himself staring at t bare expanse of whitewashed wall. "How do you like that?" he demanded in disgust. "Just as I get out of here after 20 years, I cut my head off!" ,. Sign spotted at an Atlantic Beach appliance shop: "TV sets sold and rented. Not responsible for summer programs." 1958, by Bennett CerC Distributed by King Feature Syndicate. T ET'S close this piece with -L a quotation from Abra ham Lincoln: "You cannot bring prosper ity by discouraging thrift Von cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot help the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer. "You cannot further the brotherhood of man by en couraging class hatred. You cannot help the poor by de stroying the rich. You cannot establish sound security on borrowed money. You cannot keep out of trouble by spend ing more than you earn, xou cannot build character and courage by taking away mans initiative ana inae pendence. "You cannot help men per manently bv DOING FOR THEM WHAT THEY COULD AND SHOULD DO FOR THEMSELVES," All statesmen subscribe to that doctrine. All politicians disagree with it. Therein lies the fundamen tal difference between states men and politicians.

I'll never get married I want to be an en gineer. Mrs. F. D. I can't see any happiness that way. Jennifer D. I am J6 years old with problems up to my neck. . In the first place, I am 5' 9' and I don't know.whether I've stopped growing. Probably not. Besides, I am homely. You don't have to tell me to improve my hairdo and try different makeup, etc., I've gone to the best beauty salons and I do the best I can with what I have. There is some improvement in my looks, but not enough to make me even passably nice looking.. The way I figure it, I'm never going to get married. With beautiful girls all over the place, why would anyone choose me? So I've decided that I must equip myself for a good career. I want to be an engineer. My parents say they never heard of anything so silly in all their lives and say they won't even help me through college if I study en gineering. , Mrs. F. D. It is true that Jenny has a problem with her Tornado Cloud Seen af Corvallis Corvallis (UPI) A tor nado cloud threw a scare into residents of southern Benton county Sunday when it passed over the west edge of Cor vallis. The cloud was described as a "true twister funnel." It moved from east to west but apparently did not touch the earth at any point. Observers said it was the first tornado cloud sighted in Corvallis since 1952. The city was hit by a tornado that year, first in its recorded his tory, and suffered consider able damage. graduation exercises Monday evening. The Junior High band, under the direction of Harry Meyers, played special numbers as well as the pro cessional and recessional. The invocation and benediction were given by Jean Shelley, pastor of the Central Point Church of Christ. Charles A. Meyer, princi pal, spoke, using the class motto, "Not to the top but climbing" for his subject. Awards were presented by Lester James, school board chairman and by Mr. Meyer. Following the ceremonies, a party was held in the. library for the graduates and their parents. , looks, but I don't see why a girl of 16 should give up all hope of ever getting married. In spite of her handicaps, Jenny has loads of friends, in cluding boys. They sort of treat her like one of the fel lows, but she never sits home and broods without a date like a lot of prettier girls do. I can't see any happiness In the future for Jenny without marriage. So what if sheiias a good career? How will she feel when all her friends are married and have homes and children. There is no harm in workr ing for a couple of years but after that a girl should get married. If a girl is making a good living she 'scares men away and Jenny has enough strikes against her now. She can go to college but not to study engineering. . The Council Jenny really has turned in an alarm. But her parents need not get so upset. Many girls and boys of her age who have some reason for anxiety, make statements that they do not plan to get married. It does not necessar ily affect their futures. The F. D.'s are, however, very wrong in discouraging Jenny from a career in engi neering if she has the ability. Aside from the fact that clear cut goal, enthusiasm and im provement in her competence will all help to make Jenny a happier, more attractive person, there is the additional advantage that she has chosen a field most likely to throw her into contact with many men. Women engineers are great ly needed by industry today. If she has the capacity, Jenny will enjoy many advantages closed to girls with more mod est ambitions. We predict she will have a choice of men with excellent qualifications as husband as well as work that is stimulating and well paid. , We doubt whether a nice pay check ever, in- itself, frightened men away. Far more likely; men have been frightened by women who use the pay check as a weapon of aggression or defense against them. Both Jenny and her mother should recognize that a girl with good sense and an attrac tive personality has a far greater chance for happiness than a girl who expects her good looks to bring her every thing desirable in life. A dull .beauty is sought by men more interested in showing off their prowess to the world than in giving and receiving love. (Copyright 1358, General Features Corp.)
