Each article is a summary of an actual report. Tbe Family Conncil does not give advice: it merely reports on problems that bava been dealt with by responsible agencies and counselors. Mrs. D. M. We don't like his girl friend. Ed M. They're social snobs. Mrs. D. M. My husband and I are terribly upset about our 18-year-old son, Ed. For the past two years he has been going steady with a girl we don't like at all, and we are afraid that they'll elope or do something drastic. We want Ed to go college and to make something of himself before he gets involv ed He says that he isn't plan ning to get married, but we feel that his girl friend will start putting the heat on and he won't be able to get out of it. She doesn't show any con sideration for him. He works hard at his school work and has a part-time job, but she keeps him out until all hours on their dates. She thinks his time is at her disposal and sends him on errands for her. We feel that she is a self ish girl, and she doesn't come of a nice family. But we don't know how to make Ed see these things. Ed M. I'm afraid my par ents are social snobs. When I ask them what's wrong with Dora's family, they don't know what to say. They say that they're not in our class, that they're vulgar, etc . . . But I don't see anything wrong with them except that Dora's father is an ordinary workingman and not very well off. They have been very nice to me. Of course my parents think they are out to "catch" me, but Dora says they don't want her to marry me. They think I'm too young and they want her to go out with older men. Anyway, it's all so silly talking about marriage be cause I don't intend to get married until I get through college, and Dora knows how I feel about that. She says she'd be willing to work while I go to school, but I wouldn't r i HALF AS MUCK DOES THE JOB Here's a completely new Western Spray Oil that gives you everything! v Low Dosage-Economical Dosage rate of VOLCK Supreme Oil Spray is to that of "regular" oils.

What's fussing about everyone The Council: Arguing and nagging seldom convince any one of anything. Teen-agers are particularly sensitive to this kind of pressure. The D.M.'s are making things still harder by stabbing wildly in air directions at once. They are pushing Ed against the wall and forcing him to fight them and to go to his girl friend and her fam ily for refuge. Most teen-agers are fairly idealistic and resent any sug gestion of snobbery. Ed is right to stand up for Dora's family since he has been treat ed kindly by them. His par ents' innuendoes may be way off base. They should not give their own suspicions the weight and dignity of facts. The D.M.'s would do far bet ter to ask questions and get Ed to do the talking and the thinking. He will have to live his own life, and it is far more important for him to learn to make his own judgments than to accept his parents' opinions wholesale. If they ask the proper ques tions in the proper spirit, the D.M.'s may be able to help Ed realize that he is unwitting ly digging himself into a pit. He claims to be disinterested in marriage at this time, but hastily brushes aside the obvi ous fact that while he and Dora are thoroughly engross ed in one another, they can not make contacts with others. Both are losing their initiative and sense of adventure in soc ial experimentation. They fear being left high and dry and are growing increasingly de pendent upon one another. ' If Ed can be brought to rec ognize these things by himself, there is some hope that he will take action to change the status' quo. Otherwise the D.M.'s are probably fighting a losing battle.

NEALON Table Rock - The Abe Half hill family is now living in Medford, having moved last week from their home here on the Table Top ranch. Abe had been foreman at the Table Top ranch for many years, coming here shortly after his discharge from the Army at the close of World War II. Elmo Stallings is at present acting as foreman. , Norman Matteson, the phar maceutical salesman, appears to have the most flourishing and conspicuous beard in the community, with Ernest Smith a close second. Mrs. E. E. Robinson re turned recently from Vallejo, Calif., where she spent sev eral days at the home of her son, Doug., and family. Several cases of measles and chicken pox are reported in the community among the small fry. Bob Sage, the Medford teacher and would be grower of Christmas trees, was out this way Saturday inspecting his grove, and found that the weeds were easier to find than the Christmas trees. They seemed to be squatting down to hide. Probably they were hiding just in case Ezra, the bunny rabit, came along and took another bite out of their growing support. Elmer Sherrill of Medford, a salesman of the W. L. (Bill) Fasel realtor, was a business visitor here Thursday. He says his firm has many would be farm and home purchasers, and need more listings. Many of those looking for locations are from California. A Thurs day visitor was Henry Mc- Cabe, circulation and insur ance salesman for the Ore gon Farmer. Those from here attending the recent Centennial dinner and program at Central Point Grange were delighted with a wholesome dinner and the highly entertaining, informa tive program following. In the whiskers contest, first prize went to Bob Vro man, which was not surpris ing as he had head start of the others, beginning his whisker enterprise Thanksgiv ing day, 1958. Ernest Leavitt was a close runner-up, but was disquali field when the tweezer test showed his raven locks were not stationary. In the prettiest ankle con test for ladies, some seemed to be a bit shy about lifting the skirt at the judges step over centerpiece. Perhaps it wasn't shyness, they might have been trying to act like they thought the ladies of a hundred years -ago would have acted, for we know that if fashion designed a knee length skirt, tomorrow, there would be a stampede to be first in the new style. There were many old-timers present, not just imitators dressed for the part, but the real thing, with many years behind them to prove it, and all seemed to be enjoying themselves. A baby shower was held Tuesday- afternoon at the home of Mrs. Frank Myers for Mrs. I. H. Elder, whose baby girl, Lucinda, weighing 8 pounds 6 ounces, was born Feb. 6, at Rogue Valley hos pital. Ray Ryan, a cousin of Elmer Blurke, blew in here the other evening, and said he had a buyer for a piece of our farm for a home site at a price that would make us happy. Ray has a lovely variegated Centennial beard, with white chin whiskers, which, if he was a horse, we would call him an albino.

This may be good news to those who are having a strug gle to grow a luxurious beard, or mustache. A company in New York advertise a balsam from a shrub from the Ten nessee swamps that has been found to excite the beard and mustache to a fine and vigor ous growth. This ad appeared in the Harpers Weekly of Feb 11, 1865.

Pity Ihe Poor Tree It Can't Dodge Danger Did you ever stop to think what would happen to you if you could not dodge, run or escape a danger by moving? Yet there are a great many living things on this earth that do not have the ability to dodge, duck, or to escape by movement; yet they have to stay and take what comes, and survive or perish as the fates decree. The ability to move out of the way of threatened danger is one of the saving factors that animals have that helps to assure their continued sur vival. The agility of a pedes trian keeps him alive for oth er encounters that may occur the next minute or the follow ing day. Hide and Move Animals in the wild hide from their enemies and, of course, move rapidly away if the need arises. They can thus escape not only enemies but for many years. He was the youngest in the family of six children. The family at one time owned a farm in the west side of the district. The William Vaughan family left here more than 30 years ago. We are hearing many com plaints about abuses of the use of our telephone lines. A veterinarian told us the other day that he tried several times during -an hour to get the line, but each time got the busy signal. Checking with the operator he was told the line was in use. He finally gave up getting the line, and drove out, which of course, didn't make the farmer happy paying for a call when a few words over the telephone would have sufficed.

On the eve of a cold spell animals have been observed to seclude themselves in some sort of a sheltered retreat where they wait out the cold. Sudden and instinctive blinking prevents foreign ob jects from injuring the eyes of animals. They can jump to escape falling objects, or things that are thrown or hurtled through the air. Ani mals not only defend them selves, but use the power of movement to procure food, comfort, pleasures, as well as to avoid excessive heat, cold or pursuit, and to find a home, whether home means a den, a hole in the ground, or a nest or a house. Can't Run Away But the very complex liv ing organisms that we call trees, plants and shrubs; in fact all the members of the very large kingdom of plants, do not have this privilege of running away. No matter what happens they must re main in one fixed spot and take what comes, literally "on the chin." If the evening pap ers prophesy a cold wave, or a period of cyclonic winds, the plant must remain where it is regardless of the out come, and try to weather the storm. Neither can it brace itself, there is no time for that; if the roots are shallow or the soil loose, over it goes - blown down and destroyed by the wind, the fire or the storm. Forest fires may roar down upon it in the darkness of night, but the tree must wait where it stands, and survive if it can. There is no way it can duck or dodge out of the way. Insects, cold, winds, fire, disease, drouth or the man with the axe and the saw, finds the tree waiting. Re markable, that so many have lived so long.

Published as a Public Service By The Medford Mail Tribune Household Workers May Lose Security Benefits Some local household work ers may lose social security benefits because the house wife neglects to make social security reports on their cash wages, W. V. Nusbaum, man ager of the Medford social se- urity office, said today. He added that compliance with the reporting require ments by household employ ers is generally good, but in some cases workers have had difficulty in establis hing rights to benefits due to fail ure of the employer to file so cial security tax returns. Nusbaum explained that the law requires that a house hold employer report for so cial security purposes all cash wages of $50 or more paid in a calendar quarter to a maid, cleaning woman or other household worker. These re ports are filed with the dis trict director of internal reve nue in the month following Unander Seeks Opinion on Warrants Salem-IUPD-State Treasurer Sig Unander said Monday he has asked the attorney gen eral for an opinion on wheth er the secretary of state can issue a warrant and the state treasurer cash one for pay ment of the salary of Col.
