MONEY CAKE - An unusual "collection
box" for the March of Dimes was this three
layer cake located in Johnson's Model
bakery No. 1 for the last few weeks. 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.

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

non-secretarian, independent
relief organization which pro

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

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.

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.

Rep. 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.
