it- UPSIDE-DOWN WEDDING CAKE Mrs. Edith Fisher of East Boston, Mass., is the picture of dejection as she stares at her wedding cake which got well battered dur ing a wing-ding wedding reception. It took eight police men to restore order among the invited guests. Her hus band of a few hours and four others were jailed. The Family Council Editor's note: The F-mil Council con.lsts ot a Judge a psychiatrist, three clergymen, a newspaper ediior a women's editor and two writers. Each article is a summary nf an actual report. The Family Council does not give advice; it merely reports on problems that have been dealt with by responsible agencies ana Mrs. L. R. - She should try harder to flatter men. Marilyn R. I've tried all the tricks in the book. i Mrs. L. R-I am very much concerned about my 24-year-old daughter Marilyn, who doesn't seem to know how to hold a man. She is quite attractive and men are always .eager to- date her at first. They make a big fuss over her for one or two dates and then disappear. It may sound as though Marilyn is beautiful but dumb. That isn't the case. She is quite in telligent. She had two years of college and left only be cause she wanted to do a cer tain kind of work that didn't call for a degree. I feel that she doesn't make enough effort to flatter a man, to make him feel that he's the great one. She should also use a few more of the femi- m i ci a ifitlre that crii-lc n:e and not get discouraged if they Hnn't work the first time. Marilyn H. I guess I am getting discouraged and that is my main problem. I'm real ly sick of making up to every man I meet and getting no where with it. It sure rubs me the wrong way to have flattered some nincompoop man and then have him throw me over after a few dates. Everybody tries to give me advice and I have tried just about every "feminine trick in the books. Maybe I'me get ting old or something, but I feel jaded and sometimes wish I didn't have to go out at all. I feel that I really go all out to be pleasant to men when I am on a date. On the job men consider me a terror, but I'm sure none of the men I date would ever realize that. Sometimes I think I'm trying too hard. The Council: An attractive, Intelligent young woman should have no trouble at all holding men friends - if she wanted them. She shouldn't have to use "feminine tricks,' SALE HI-FI CO BRAND NEW 1959 MODELS YES!! A FULL OFF REGULAR RETAIL SEE AND HEAR THESE BARGAINS! IWti counselors. indulge in insincere flattery or "go all-out to be pleasant." Marilyn shows some insight into her problem when she suspects that she is "trying too hard." We all have a ten dency to over-extend our efforts when we try to com pensate for a serious weak ness or handicap. Marilyn, who describes herself as some thing of Dr. Jekyll-Mr. Hyde in her relationships with men, apparently must overcome her Marilyn - the - terror per sonality everytime she dates a man. Men undoubtedly sense the strain and insincerity of her efforts. We believe that as a first step in the right direction, Marilyn ought to stop trying so hard. As far as possible she should try to relax and enjoy herself on dates. She should not worry about making her self pleasing to her. com panion. She should simply try to. get to know him. She should throw her "tricks" and the other advice women have given her right out the win dow. If Marilyn learns to relax and enjoy herself on dates, she may find that . the hos tility and fear she feels in re lation to men in her Mr. Hyde personality, will grad ually lessen. She will not find it necessary to take revenge on men for the torture she now endures in the social situation. Marilyn should give this plan a good try. If she finds she can't make it work, she might consider seeking some psychiatric help. (Copyright 1959. General Features Corp.)

SALE- and IMBIA STEM 53rd Year Medford 2nd SECTION Cold Reception For Eisenhower's School Aid Plan Washington -flJPD- President Eisenhower's new pay-later plan for school construction aid got a cold reception in Congress Tuesday. Democrats denounced the proposal as "too little and too late" and unworkable besides. There was little outpouring of enthusiasm from the Republi can side. Chairman James E. Murray (D-Mont.) of the Senate educa tion subcommittee called the administration plan a "legis lative monstrosity" designed "not to help education but to help bankers." Promise Hearings Rep. Cleveland M. Bailey (D-W.Va.) chairman of the House subcommittee on school aid legislation, said it would not help the school districts that need aid the most. Both Murray and Bailey promised to give the adminis tration a chance to state its case at hearings. But there appeared little likelihood the administration could sell the plari to the heavily-Democratic Congress. The administration plan calls for a federal outlay of $2,500,000,000 over 25 years to help needy school districts and colleges pay off bonds for construction of new build ings. Budget Not Affected It would have no effect on Eisenhower's narrowly bal anced $77 billion budget since no cash payments would be made in the fiscal year start ing July 1. Actually, the administration sent Congress two bills-one for public school construction and the other for colleges. Rep. Carroll D. Kearns (Pa.) ranking Republican on the House Education Committee, was one of the few to speak out for the administration plan. He described it as a "unique and sensible approach to meeting some of our urgent educations needs." Grand Jury Bill Approved by House Salem-(UPD-A bill empower ing the courts to create more than one grand jury in a county was passed by the Ore gon House Tuesday. The bill cleared over objec tions of Rep. Keith Kelton (D-Eugene) that it might result in as many as 13 grand juries sitting at once in Multnomah county and three each in Lane and Marion counties. Rep. George Layman (R- Newberg) argued that such a situation probably would never develop and that the bill was simply carrying out a mandate of the people who voted last November to ap prove more than one grand jury. SALE MEDFORD, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 11, Creaking Old Capital About To By FRANK ELEAZER Washington (UPD- It is ab solutely, unequivocally not true that the dome of the U.S. Capitol is about to collapse, and anybody who thinks so must have been peeking at some of its rusted plates and corroded bolts recently un covered by engineers. Here is just one more evi dence of the fact that a little knowledge is a dangerous thing. The reason officials have barred tourists from the Capitol rotunda, and are pre paring to ring the dome inside and out with steel scaffolds, is not because they are doom sters architecturally speaking. They are just cautious. They want to know for sure whether the cast iron struc ture is tired. They also will sleep better nights after es tablishing that the 4,664-square-foot fresco painted in plaster 94 years ago on the inside of the top of the dome isn't about to come hurtling down 180 feet onto the heads of the. taxpayers, not to men tion the members of Congress.

It appears to be cracking, but this could be an illusion. Nor has anybody seen some of the dome's innermost struc ture since it was finished in 1865, an 8,909,200-pound cast iron miracle of its time and still, Capitol officials believe, the biggest dome of cast iron anywhere in the world. . Signs of deterioration which inspectors have uncovered, however, have prompted offi cials to push forward at once with a major inspection and overhaul of the doriie. At least four of its 36 outer iron ribs are to be removed. If tests show age and stress has taken its toll, all 36 ribs will .be replaced. , One worrisome problem is that the dome swings with the sun. Not so" you can see it. But you can sometimes hear it creak as the hot side ex pands and the cool side con tracts. Total movement has been measured at between three and four inches.

Truman was right when he said the dome one day would be toppling over. Aside from any internal de fects it may have, the dome, according to Truman, was off balance. Congress finally agreed and is spending $10,- 100,000 to tear down the east front and. relocate it, in more permanent form, - 32Vi feet further out. The old front is down now, with the result that the skirt of the dome seems to be hang ing over the plaza in space However, engineers say there is no safety problem here, They also deny that the op eration of heavy cranes and jackhammers necessary to tear down the east front play a part in their concern at the dome's internal condition Congressional emplo y e e s who aren't engineers are in clined to wonder about this, every time they feel the Cap itol tremble.

The churchmen meeting here are members of the 14 man executive committee of the "World Council of Church es, which represents every major Christian denomination except the Roman Catholics. The committee's decisions are not binding, but they are expected to carry considerable weight with the 171 Christian churches in 50 countries which belong to the WCC. Prominent figures attend ing the meeting include Franklin Clark Fry, U.S.' Lutheran chairman of the committee; Martin Niemoller, the German Lutheran who dared to defy Adolf Hitler; and British Baptist leader Ernest A. Payne. Pope John's proposal head ed the list of subjects to be discussed today. It is consid ered likely that the commit tee will issue a statement in dicating Protestant terms for a discussion of unity with the Roman Catholics.
