"I can't de pend on my grown children for entertainment, for they have families and responsi bilities of their own. I'm ac tive, but I can't find anything to do. I get so lonely what do other lonely widows do? I think lonliness is the worst feeling in the world . , ."

Your community needs help ers who are still young in mind and still active, such as you. By helping others, you will be helping yourself. By being with others, many of whom are just as anxious as you to find activities, you will find friends. When you find friends, you will no longer be lonely. Here are a few suggestions which we pass on to clients at the American Institute of Family Relations: 1. See the minister of your church. If you are not affili ated with a church, there is undoubtedly something in some church which will in terest you, and a group which will welcome your aid. Churches can always use helping hands! 2. Join a political club. These clubs are quite active, with regular meetings and many duties for their mem. bers. ' 3. Give a lift to a worthy cause: a Cancer Group, Heart Association, Hospital Aid, Red Cross, March of Dimes. 4. Organize a group of women who are in a similar position. Hold regular meet ings. Out of such meetings some lasting friendships may be formed and some needed work done. 5. Serve on election boards, jury duty, and the like. Look into the poczibility of doing volunteer work in a family agency in your city. 6. Try baby-sitting, or bet ter still organize a baby-sitting bureau to aid young mothers. Baby tending can be both fun and remunerative and there is never a lack of customers in our current boom of babies! 7. Investigate your library reading can be a .splendid adventure. 8. Consider night school classes: art, writing, ceramics. You can develop an interest ing and profitable hobby and find worthwhile fr'ends of similar tastes in such a class. In short, there is a place for you if you make it. Your world is full of interesting things to do and friendly peo ple if you "get off the shelf" and look for them."

Lewis seems politically quiet now compared to the CIO chief that he was two decades ago. But some politicians " in the coal-producing state of West Virginia have more than an academic interest in what he may do during the autumn political campaign. The question: Will Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers, give his blessing to Republican Sen. John D. Ho blitzell . or to the Democratic nominee, Jennings Randolph, or will he maintain an atti tude of sulky neutrality? Lewis' last political venture in West Virginia, where two U.S.' Senate seats are at stake this year, was less than de cisive. 7 Made Endorsements In advance of the primary voting earlier this month, he wrote in lofty language in the United Mine Workers Journal that he had some advice for the coal miners of West Vir ginia. He urged them to vote in the Democratic senatorial primaries for former Gov. William C. Marland and for Rep. Robert C. Byrd. . ' Marland was the candidate for a two-year Senate vacan cy, which Hoblitzell has held by appointment since the death of Sen. Matthew Nee ley. Byrd was the candidate for a six-year term in the seat now held by GOP Sen. Chap man Revercomb. Albany Man Takes Over Bus Service Salem (UPD Roy J. Sin- nott, an Albany bus operator, has leased from Louis Soukup, Eugene, the lines and equip ment of the defunct City Tran sit Lines, it was announced Thursday. Sinnott took over the idle lines here Thursday after noon. He expects to be in full operation .Monday. - Soukup is retained by the new concern as general ad viser, Sinnott said at his Al- banv office. The new concern, Cascade Transit Lines, was incorpor ated here Thursday. The company is also taking over bus operation in Eugene and Springfield. Busses are now running again in Eugene and Springfield. The New Award NEW SUPER MARKETER "CUSTOM LQOK" NOW IN ALL 1958 PHILCO REFRIGERATORS FROM SEE US AT THE KIWANIS FAIR BIG TRADE IN 225 Marland, who was defeated only two years ago by Rever comb in a contest for another Senate vacancy, was'defeated this time by Randolph, a for mer seven-term congressman. Randolph's legislative record while he was a member of the House had been deemed unsatisfactory by Lewis. Resigned CIO Office In the other primary, Lewis back the winner. Byrd, who was a heavy favorite anyway, was an easy victor in the Democratic contest for the other nomination. : Lewis presumably stood the shock of Marland's defeat much better than he accepted a political reverse in 1940. He then resigned the presidency of the CIO after the election results gave clear evidence that most CIO members dis regarded his advice to vote for Wendell L. Willkie. Four years earlier, his mine union was a heavy contributor to VA Announces Salary Survey A survey for determining the prevailing wage rates for maintenance workers will in clude Medford, Grants Pass, Ashland and Klamath Falls, according to an announcement from the Veterans adminis tration today. The survey will be used by the Army-Air Force and the Veterans administration wage boards to determine salaries to be paid federal mainten ance employees in accordance with prevailing salaries in this community, according to a Veterans Administration spokesman. "This joint survey is for the sole purpose of protecting the various businessmen of the area from repeated interrup tion and to secure the neces sary data at one time for the purposes of the Veterans Ad ministration and the Army Air Force wage officials," a spokesman explained. The law requires salaries for maintenance employees in the federal services "shall be adjusted from time to time as nearly as is consistent with the public interest and in ac cordance with prevailing rates." 1 1 I NOW AT COUEYS APPLIANCE I i IV East 6th Phone SP 3 ; Fso"" the first reelection campaign of President Franklin D.
