Henry Johnson, owner of the bakery, thought up the idea and supplied a free cookie to those who donated a coin. The cake was picked up Friday by MOD Treasurer Price Shafer and he estimated it will yield about $15. The coins will have to be picked out of the frosting and washed before an exact count can be made, Shafer said. Woman Rescued Near Gold Beach After Canyon Fall Gold Beach (UPD A 55- year old Ukiah, Calif., worn an, Mrs. Gladys Jones, was rescued from a canyon off Highway 101 about 10 miles south of here Friday after ly ing helpless for 36 hours with a broken ankle suffered in a 100-foot fall. Curry county Sheriff R. G. Sabin said Mrs. Jones tumbled into the canyon in the dark ness Wednesday night. She said her husband, Clarence, had also fallen, had attempted to help her but couldn't and went to get help. Both were reported in "fair" condition at a hospital here. The two were en route to visit relatives' in Kelso and Longview, Wash., and left Ukiah Wednesday morning. They had stopped their car and trailer along the highway and Mrs. Jones said she did not notice the steep slope just beyond the shoulder of the road. . When authorities were sum moned by Jones, he had ap parently become confused about the exact location of the accident and a search on Thursday proved fruitless, the sheriff said. Searchers fanned out over a wider area Friday and Mrs. Jones was located about 11:15 ajn. and removed by stretcher. i Sabin said the woman's pet dachshund was with her and the dog's barking enabled searchers to find her.

Exclusively at WESTERN THRIFT oa Try Eagle Point Couple Financially Adopts Vietnamese Child Mr. and Mrs. Harold D. Ot tosen, route 1, box 251, Eagle Ponit, have financially "adop ted" a SVi-year-old Vietnam ese girl, Vo Thi Dang, through Foster Parents plan, Inc., New York. The Foster Parents provide $15 a month toward the child's support for at least one year through Jhe plan. Mrs. uttosen said xne ad option is in their name, but she, her sister, Miss Ruth Rit tenhouse, and her parents, Mr. and Mrs. D. S. Rittenhouse, all of Buffalo, N.Y., contribute S5 each toward support for Vo Thi Dang. Result of Accident The Ottosens decided to fi- nancilly adopt the Vietnam ese girl as a result of a settle ment following a traffic acci dent in which their young child was fatally injured, Mrs. Ottosen said. Vo Thi Dang, who was born June 17, 1953, lives in Saigon with her stepmothers, her stepsister, a stepbrother, a half-sister and a half-brother. The child's mother died when she was younger, and her fa ther married a widow with two children. Two children were born of the union. Her father was a house- painter, but became ill and died Aug. 10, 1958, a month before the youngest child was born. The father's illness and the baby's birth caused the mother to go into debt. Refuses Offer The stepmother is doing her best to care for the children, according to Foster Parents, and refused an offer to have Vo Thi Dang adopted. She sells soap, making only about 14 cents a day. She receives help from her own daughter, who left school to take care of the baby while her mother works, and from her son, who lives with his maternal grand parents to be near school. The boy works after school, where he is in the fourth grade, sell ing fruit and making about 14 cents a day. The family lives in a small house, one wall of which is that of the next house. It has a roof of leaves, a floor of cement and furniture consists of one large bed and one small bed. It also includes a table used as the father's altar in accordance with the custom of ancester worship. Intelligent Girl Va Thi Dang is too young to go to school, or to show any special aptitudes, but she ap pears to be an intelligent girl who is obedient. Foster Parents' Plan is a non- profit, non- propaganda, a v '"11 VO THI DANG Vietnamese Adopted non-secretarian, independent relief organization which pro vides children with the care, education and moral support they need. Of the $15, $8 goes to the child each month, while the remainder is used for periodic food and new clothing pack ages, translations of letters, medical services and education. GOP Legislators Voice 'Unify' Accord Washington- (UPD -Republican foreign policy legislators yesterday backed up the stand of congressional leaders in both parties that no resolu tion by Congress on the Ber lin crisis is needed. They also voiced full ac cord with the "unity" pledged to President Eisenhower by the "Big Four" House and Senate leaders in a bipartisan conference on the Berlin sit uation at the White House Friday. The leaders took the posi tion that then- unified stand made it clear that the coun try is united on the issue and that Congress does not need to say so in a resolution. Sen. Bourke B. Hicken- looper (R-Iowa), second- rank ing GOP member on the Sen ate Foreign Relations com mittee, said "I don't see that a congressional resolution is necessary because Congress," through the leaders, "has giv en ample evidence of com plete unity.", i IMPROVE YOUR FIREPLACE!

She should have told the truth. Eloise T. R o s e wouldn't have understood. Stanley T. My wife and I are having quite a feud over a social problem. A couple we have been friendly with for many years decided to move into our apartment building. The wife, Rose, asked my wife whether she had any objections. My wife, like a fool, said no, and now we have them for our next-door neighbors. We are both fond of Rose, News of Books From the Library The month of March is us ually the busiest month of the year in the county library. Ij; is anticipated that more than 20,000 of the 43,000 volumes in its collection will be borrowed during this pe riod for home use. For that reason library per sonnel suggest that patrons take advantage of the li brary's card catalog, its print ed book lists, and the reserve privilege to obtain the books desired. The fact that there may not be a single book on the shelves on a popular sub ject such as dog training or house decoration is not an in dication that the library does not stock such books but only that demand for them con tinues to increase faster than the book collection can pos sibly do. Such needed, popular titles as those listed below will not remain long on the library's shelves. However, they are available to you by request through the headquarters li brary or any Jackson County branch library agency.

STA N1 . but can't stand her husband. As long as we saw them once every couple of months, I did not mind, but I hate having to see them every night. Eloise really got us into a heck, of a pickle this time. I don't see why she couldn't have told her the truth that we'd rath er they didn't live in our building. Eloise R. I don't see how I could have tactfully told Rose I'd rather she wouldn't live near me. We've been friends for years. She simply wouldn't understand if I said we didn't want her. Actually, I don't see why it should make such a big differ ence. We have very good rela tions with all our neighbors. Most of them we wouldn't want as friends, yet we get along beautifully and are con stantly helping one another out. Why shouldn't we get along well with neighbors who happen to ' be friends? What difference does it make? It is annoying about Rose's husband, but I guess we can put up with him if we have to. Some of our neighbors are worse. The Council: We think Stanley has some 'justice on his side. Friends and neigh bors are two entirely differ ent species, and a wise and tactful friend probably would have avoided this situation. We think Rose should have looked elsewhere for her apartment. She certainly put Eloise on the spot. Neighbors are almost like relatives. We don't choose them. We accept them as they are, and we expect them to ac cept us as we are. We don't put on any show for them, and they often become far more involved in the day-to-day in timacies of our lives than friends. We may not like them particularly, but in a sense we are forced to. We are bound together by sheer common hu manity. Ideally, we are toler ant of their faults and are pre pared to be helpful to them when the need arises. We ex pect the same of them. We choose our friends, and they represent our tastes and ideals or as near as we can get toward, our ideas. Usual ly the less we know about their failings and day-to-day struggles, the happier we are. We try to show ourselves at our best to them, and if they don't live up to what we ex pect of them we sometimes discontinue the relationship. We can be free of friends whenever we wish but not of neighbors. We've overdrawn this a bit to emphasize the distinction, but we think the differences are valid in a general way and that if Eloise and Stanley had thought the problem out a lit tle further they might have plucked up the courage to state the issue to Rose in these terms. We'll admit it would be difficult. It will take good sense and great tactfulness on the part of both couples to maintain a good relationship. The ten dency will be to presume upon friendship to become over neighborly, and the over neighborliness will strain the friendship. The couples should avoid "dropping in," borrow ing eggs or getting over involved in one another's day-to-day problems. (Copyright 1959, General Features Corp.)

Peck's Plea Helps Bill Passage Salem -(UPD- An impassion ed and tearful plea from Rep Grace Peck (D-Portland) got a bil lrequiring education for Oregon's mentally retarded children through the House Friday and on to the Senate. The bill makes it manda tory for school districts to set up classes for mentally re tarded children by 1964 if they have more than 12 chil dren in the district. Final vote on' the measure was 5-3. ,Rep. Shirley Field (R-Port land) objected to the bill on grounds that teachers for re tarded children were very hard to come by and that it costs twice as much to edu cate such a child as it does a normal or gifted child. She said Portland and Lane county already were doing a good job of educating retard ed children in special classes on a voluntary basis. Rep. Peck in tears .replied that mentally retarded chil dren in other areas of the state needed help and that the pro gram v would take nothing away from the education of normal children.
