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

to drafting new regulations
governing employment of
women and minors in in

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

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

country, vote for Republi

Remember that POLITICS
is the art of kidding people
into voting for somebody.
STATESMANSHIP is a mi

use these qualities for the
betterment of our country:
Our ereat need is more

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!"

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.

Jennifer D. 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.

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.
