which appears weekly in this paper. It presents problems of everyday
living and attempts to bring you the most expert opinion in this
area. By combining clinical experience, research, and homespun
practicality, we hope to assist you to help yourself to happiness.
Readers are invited to present their problems. All queries wUi

"I Get So Lonley"
"I'm a widow, living alone,"
writes Mrs. W. "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 . , ."
Loneliness is indeed an un
happy state, but there is only
one person who can really
"put you on the shelf" and
that is YOU, Mrs. W.! If you
are active and anxious to be

i and see if there are not many,
many things within your pow
ers which need to be done.
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."

Preparation of old-fashioned potato salad takes a modern short
cut with frozen French fries. The partially-cooked, ready-peeled
and cut potato sticks are heated through in minutes for combining
with your favorite potato salad ingredients. Mix the salad, and
press into a ring mold. When ready to serve, unmold on a platter
surrounded by salad greens or colorful rings of cold meats and you
have a truly handsome salad plate to dress up a summer meal.
To prepare frozen French fries for salad, simply heat the potato
sticks in boiling: water for 4 or 5 minutes. Drain and cool for blend
ing with other ingredients. You'll find that this trick of preparing
the frozen French fries works equally well, also, for scalloped po
tatoes or creamed potatoes or for quick preparation of any other
traditional creamy potato dishes. The frozen French fries combine
well, also, into meat and vegetable casseroles for hearty main
dishes.
Try this tempting colorful potato salad or make your own fav
orite starting with the frozen French fry short cat.

Morgan Supports
FPC Suggestions
Salem (UPD Public Util
ity Commissioner Howard
Morgan today sent a com
munication to the Federal
Power Commission support
ing FPC staff recommenda
tions regarding the classifi
cation of certain advertising
expenditures by the nation's
electric companies.
The expenditures at issue
are a part of the contributions
to an industry-wide advertis
ing 'campaign of "America's
independent electric light and
power companies."
The Federal agency has de
clared that the practice of
treating these contributions as
"operating expense" may in
volye a violation of the com
mission's uniform system of
accounts.
A public hearing on the
matter has been scheduled at
Washington, D. C, Oct. 7 with
a pre-hearing Sept. 9.
Morgan described the in
dustry's program as a "joint
propaganda campaign."

CHIEF fcLDER
Lewis Politically Quiet Compared to
CIO Chief Ke Was Two Decades Past
Washington (UPD John L.
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.

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."

If the contest for party con
