Have you often when alone censured your self for impulsive urges, for things said or done that did not truly rep resent your real thoughts, and which placed you at a disadvantage? Most persons are creatures of sensation ' they react to instinctive, impelling influences which surge up within them and which they do not understand or know how to control. Just as simple living things involuntarily withdraw from irritations, so likewise thousands of men and women are content to be motivated by their undirected thoughts which haphazardly rise up in their consciousness.

Announcement Issued The announcement was issued jointly by Dwight L. Phipps, state forester for Ore gon, L. T. Webster, state sup ervisor of natural resources for Washington, and J. Her bert Stone, regional forester of the forest service.

A recent study made by several private and public agencies shows that forest lands in the small ownership category in Oregon and Wash ington are only 52 per cent as productive as they should be. The Nov. 6 meeting in Salem and the Nov. 3 meeting in Olympia, Wash., are aim ed at rectifying this situa tion. Kentucky Seeks ' Escaped Murderer - Lagrange, Ky.

Court Sets Aside Fine for Contempt Against NAACP Washington (UPI) The Supreme Court today set aside a 5100,000 contempt fine imposed on the National Association for the Advance ment of Colored People for refusal to. produce member ship lists. The court held unanimous ly that Alabama cannot force the NAACP to produce its membership lists. It said the lists are immune from state scrutiny under the 14th am endment. The court said more hear ings are necessary on the state's attempt to oust the or ganization from the state. The NAACP had wanted the court to invalidate the state's temporary restraining order preventing the organi zation from soliciting support in Alabama. Justice John M. Harlan, speaking for the tribunal, noted that the Supreme Court concerned itself only with the contempt question. He said the NAACP should appeal the restraining order in state courts and get a ruling on the questipn there before coming to the U. S. Supreme Court. On the matter of the membership list, Harlan said: "We hold that the immun ity from state scrutiny of membership lists which the association claims on behalf of its members is here so re lated to the right of the members to pursue their law ful private interest privately and to associate freely with others in so doing as to come within the protection of the 14th Amendment."
