Excitement Over Court's Ruling
Subsiding, Mrs. Eve Nye Relates
Bar Graphs Declared j
Easier to Understand
Madison, Wis. (Science Serv-ice)-If
you must use graphs
to illustrate points in your re
port to the boss, speech or
technical paper, use bar
graphs. They are easier to un
derstand, report H. M. Cul
bertson and R. D. Powers,
University of Wisconson agri
cultural journalists. The two
men, in cooperation with the
U. S. Department of Agricul
ture, showed that line graphs
ran a poor second-particularly
if several lines are on each
graph and there is shading in
between to show divisions of
the quantity being graphed.
In using bar graphs label them
and add figures for extra
clarity.
ULTIMATE ENERGY
San Francisco -(LTD- The
ultimate answer to the
world's power needs lies not
with uranium fission reactors
but with hydrogen fusion re
actors, according to scientists
at Arthur D. Little, Inc., re
search and engineering con
sultants. Some forms of hydrogen -deuterium
and tritium - can
be fused at temperatures of
millions of degrees with the
release of vast amounts of en
ergy. With the amount of deu
terium in the ocean, each gal
lon of sea water contains as
much energy as 350 gallons
of gasoline, the company said.
Ithaca, N.Y. - The 1958

The nice part about it was
that it was a unanimous de
cision, laying low any pos
sible doubt over the legality
of the present administration
and setting a firm precedent
for the future, should a simi
lar situation ever arise. The
feeling around the Capitol
seems to be "That's settled.
Now let's really get to work."
Douglas Seymour, staff
writer for the Capitol Jour
nal, labeled this legislature
"hard working, cooperative
and economy minded." H e
said: "It appears that both
parties are out to prove some
thing. The Democrats, who
have control of both houses
of the Legislature for the
first time in this century, are
trying to show that they are
efficient and can get the leg
islative work done in a mini
mum of time. The Repub
licans in this session seem to
be out to prove that they are
a responsible minority and
will not snipe at good legis
lation just because it is pro
posed by Democrats." This,
with the recent avowal on
the part of the Democrats
that they intend to consider
the Hatfield tax recommenda
tions befpre completing the
tax program, really adds up
to a good climate in which
to work.
Things Shaping Up
As things are shaping up,
it looks as though Education
and Unemployment Compen

grounds Where the biggest
fights will be waged. The pub
licity regarding the threat to
withhold state aid from Crook
County schools because they
do not meet state standards
is causing a good deal of con
cern, and the -House Educa
tion committee immediately
questioned members of the
state department of education
regarding the situation.
The press has covered the
meeting at length and has
high-lighted the two opposing
statements made: (1) that the"
state department was too len
ient in administering the state
standards; (2) that there is
some doubt as to the consti
tutionality of the depart
ment's administering of stand
ards at all.

study should go into the
whole matter. What was not
brought out is the fact that
these are unusual times, with
school population and school
costs increasing much faster
than the tax-paying ability of
the people who foot the bills.
What is important, I think, is,
how good a job of educating
children is Prineville doing?
Are the citizens of Crook
County refusing to meet their
responsibilities or are they re
belling against a situation
that is intolerable?
. Standards are necessary if
state money is to be used, and
they must be enforced, but
the Crook county dilemma
has raised a question which
obviously goes beyond the
scope of the Education com
mittees of the legislature and
will no doubt involve the
Judiciary committees.
This was old home week
for me. Mrs. Harlan Bosworth

Small Worlds
Around Us
By Lynn M. Watkins
Eelgrass Plays Part
In Economy of Sea
I saw my first eelgrass
meadow in a gold-fish bowl.
It has been extensively used
for an oxygenator in count
less aquariums, serving also
as a shelter and hiding place
for the captive fish.
But at that time I had no
idea how vast the acreage is
of this so-called ribbon-grass
in the shallow bays and river
mouths that connect or are a
part of the oceans, along the
Atlantic coast, as well as in
many other areas of the
world.
Eelgrass plays a very im
portant part in the economy
of the sea. The skin-diver
doesn't like the feel of the
slippery "ribbons" on his
body and the boatman doesn't
like to clean the long leaves
from the boat propellor, but
in the lives of countless sea
creatures the eelgrass is very
important. Although eelgrass
grows in 'the sea it is not a
seaweed, it is not even relat
ed to the seaweeds. Neither
is it a grass but a member of
the pondweed family.
Wave and Undulate
It's easy to see, however,
why it is called eelgrass, for
the long, narrow, slippery
leaves, each somewhat less
than an inch in width, and
often several feet long, wave
and undulate in the water
with the sinuous undulations
of an eel's body. Where it is
established the eelgrass beds
may be miles in extent.
The Family Council
Editor's note: The Fmlljr Council consists ol a judge, a psychiatrist,

Rosemary S.-I am 38 and
have been married for the
past 15 years to an alcoholic.
I have tried hard to make a
go of our marriage for the
sake of our three children,
but it looks as though it is
really impossible.

Fortunately his mother is in
a position to pay some of his
expenses there. I am lucky
enough to have a brother in

pay me a decent salary for
some partt time work.

thing from my Husband and

In this undulating forest
of blade-like leaves live a
host of creatures. Many forms
of marine life are dependent
on the ribbon-grass for their
food and shelter. The inter
lacing ribbons of eelgrass ebb
and flow in the tidal currents
like fields of grain set in mo
tion by a strong wind.
Eelgrass is one of the very
few flowering plants that live
in salt water. The blossoms
are small, green in color, and
occur in tiny grooves in the
leaf blades . Pollen-threads
from the blossoms, on ripen
ing, cast loose and become
playthings for the currents
and waves, sometimes being
carried for miles to pollinate
other eelgrass beds.
The flowers occur when
the water temperature of the
shallow bay or river mouth
reaches just a certain degree.
The life, growth and fruition
of the eelgrass is geared di
rectly to the rise and fall of
the water temperature.
Scallops
In the eelgress jungles live
the scallops; the traveling
clams of the mollusks that,
by means of jet-propelled,
zig-zag motion, scoot and dart
among the ribbons of grass.
This shell - fish, delicious
when fried in deep, hot fat,
also possesses the shell used
as a symbol for a- large oil
company. ,
Also in these green under
sea meadows live the sea
horses; the pipe fish, its near-

est relative, and thousands of
other forms of marine life
that depend on the eelgrass
for protection. The brant, a
large waterfowl related to
the Canada goose, feeds al
most exclusively on eelgrass.
The decline in the number of
these birds is closely tied in
with the health and extent of
the eelgrass beds.
A strange disease a few
years ago destroyed " many
areas of the eelgrass and the
numbers of brant dropped off
until the big birds nearly dis
appeared. In the strange and
little understood ecology of
the land and the sea there is
sometimes a close and pecu

is pulled on the big one."
Under U. S. security laws,
no one is permitted to say
whether nuclear weapons are
stockpiled on this Ryukyuan
Island stronghold less than 45
minutes jet -flying time from
Shanghai. But most Ameri
cans on Okinawa believe un
questionably that such weap
ons are in stock on "the
rock." They'd feel uneasy if
they knew they weren't.
"Of course, I can't com
ment," Smith said. "But you
can say we are not unhappy
with our armaments."
Smith, at six-foot-seven, is
the tallest Air Force General
in the business and is con
sidered one of the ablest com
manders in his service.
Would China Attack?
Asked if Okinawa, by its
proximity to the China coast,
would not be particularly vul
nerable in case of atomic mis
sle war, Smith replied:
"I don't think the Chinese
have atomic missies. But I
don't believe they would at
tack us because . it would be
like Pearl Harbor - war
against the United States."
In the case of all-out war,
Smith believes that the major
blows would be aimed, not at
Okinawa, but at the United
States itself. , .
"Of course," he said, "There
is always the possibility of
sneak missile attacks from
submarines, but we'll trust in
the Seventh Fleet to take care
of that."
During last fall's Quemoy
crisis, the Reno, Nev., born
general was back in Washing
ton receiving treatment for a
back ailment that still troub
les him. But he is proud of
the role his command played.
Praises U. S. Action
"We supported air opera
tions in the area to the fullest
and we sent the squadron to
Formosa within seven hours
after orders were received,"
he said.
Only the quick reaction of
the U. S., in his opinion, sav
ed the offshore islands. With
out this, he indicated, the
Reds would have moved in.
"I believe the crisis was
manufactured," Smith said, to
take the people's Red Chi
nese minds off the hardships
of the commune system."
Turning to Russia's achieve
ments, in outer space, Smith
said:
"I wouldn't be surprised if
the Russians are first in get
ting a man into outer space.
All of their projects are done
with the psychological value
in mind and they perhap's
don't place such a high value
on human life.
"Our program, I feel, is a
much sounder one. It's better
balanced and I think will
achieve greater results in the
long run."

says I should do it quickly
while my determination holds
up. But my mother advises me
to wait.
Mrs. L. M.-This marriage
never should have taken place
in the first place. Rosemary's
husband is of a different faith
and was married before and
has three children by that
marriage. She knew he was an
alcoholic when she married
him, but insisted on going
ahead and nothing that her
father or I could say or do
would stop her.
In spite of all that, I feel
that Rosemary is making a
mistake in going through with
a divorce at this time. She
speaks of being "free" again
as if she were a girl of 18.
She js nearly 40 and has three
young children. . Men aren't
standing in line waiting to
marry her.
Her husband's doctor says
that there is a possibiltiy that
he'll come through this thing.
He's learned his lesson now.
Maybe he'll be willing to join
AA and change himself.
The Council: In our opinion
a "lawyer friend" who urges
a quickie divorce in a moment
of extreme crisis is no friend
and probably not much of a
lawyer.
Divorce is not a thing to be
undertaken while one's "de
termination holds up." It must
be considered at least as care
fully as marriage. The fact
that Rosemarry must leap at
such a moment is sign enough
that there are plenty of doubts
and reservations in her mind.
Apparently she has decided to
deal with these after she gets
the divorce-quite a bit too
late. A good lawyer will help
his client to deal with his
doubts and make some effort
to save the marriage.
, Mrs. L. M. brings up some
legitimate points. However,
nobody seems to be given any
thought of the unfortunate
husband, who is being utterly
deserted in his hour of need.
The realization that his wife
would stand by him and his
children need him could help
this man back to life. The real
ization that he has lost his
whole personal life could be
the final blow.
Psychiatrists find that, the
mate of an alcoholic often in
some way contributes to his
alcoholism. We cannot judge
the extent of Rosemary's re
sponsibility, but it is some
thing she ought to find out for
herself. Her 15-year-old mar
riage to . this alcoholic has
certainly not been a one-way
street. Her journey should not
be to an out-of-state divorce
court, but to a nearby doctor,
clergyman or AA group.
