Calif. - (UPD -Philip Peatman, 11, was happy but slightly confused today over the Army's advice on how to handle the family's brown and black horse named Mr. Dillon. "What's a curb and snaffle bit?" he asked when informed by telephone by United Press International that an Army dispatch was en route to him. "I guess I'll have to look it up in the dictionary or ask my teacher." Wrote To Cavalry Chief The Madera boy recently wrote to the "Chief of Cavalry, United States Army" for assistance in hand ling Mr. Dillon, who was named after a television west ern character. Brig. Gen. Frank S. Henry suggested used of a double bridle with both curb and snaffle bit or reining the horse in a circle in a corral until his. gsit is slower. "I'm gonna try the circle reining this afternoon," de clared Philip. "It sounds like a wonderful idea. We've got to figure out something to slow Mr. Dillon down." Ride Every1 Afternoon Philip and his brothers, James, 12, and Richard, 6, usually ride Mr. Dillon every afternoon to look over the family ranch where the Peat- Oldsmobile's Power Steering is New Oldsmobile's "Roto - Matic" power steering is completely new to give more power as sistance and greater steering precision, according to the Darrell Miller company, local dealer.

"Mr. Dillon is the only horse we have," said Philip as he prepared to go to school where he is in the sixth grade He is real . gentle except when we turn him around to go home from the fields. We caa't slow him down when he knows he is going to the cor ral. Didn't Tell Brothers "I didn't tell my brothers about the letter to the Army. I just decided myself the Army would know how to help me. I haven't written to anyone else, either." Philip hasn't received the general's letter yet, but was hopeful it would arrive by to day's mail.

The Fnul Council consists ot a judge m psychiatrist, three clergymen, a newspaper editor women's editor and two writers. Each article is a luminary of an actual report. The Family Council does not give advice: it merely reports on problems that bave been dealt with by responsible agencies ana ounsMor Mrs. K. E. - Is it right to break a child's heart? Tom J. I have dreamed of my own home with my child. Mrs. K. E. - Six years ago my daughter, a young woman in her 20's, died and left a husband and a 3-year-old lit tle girl. They came to live with me and I brought up my grand daughter, who is now a beau tiful, healthy, well-mannered child. Her father had little to do with this because he used to work late and come home half the time when she was in bed. Well, now her father has gotten married again and has taken the child away to live with him and his new wife. I realize that he has a right to Edna, but is he thinking of her interests? He and his wife work and he has a wom an coming in to take care of her after school. She hates this woman and cries that she wants to be with me. Is it right to break a child's heart like that? V Tom J. - For years now I have dreamed of the day when I would have my own home again and my child to myself. . My mother-in-law is a good woman and I realize that she has done everything possible for Edna, but after all I have never gotten a chance to really know my child. My mother-in-law never let her remain awake late to see me and on weekends she would have a houseful of relatives over so there was never a chance for me to be alone with my baby. My present wife wants to work for another year or so, until we can save up enough to buy our own home. In the meantime, we are trying to wean Edna away from her grandmother. Don't get me wrong. I want her to love heH grfhny - but not as a mother. My wife loves her and is' win ning her over gradually. e . The Council - Mrs. K. E.'s problem and the child's prob- Expanded Help to Underdeveloped Areas Favored Corvallis - Expanded U. S. technical assistance and stu dent aid programs for under developed areas of the world have received strong support among Oregon "Great De cisions" discussion groups. Neighborhood groups in 22 Oregon counties voiced opin ions on the topic, "World Eco nomic Revolution: WhafU. S. Policies?" Individual ballots were tabulated by Oregon State college extension serv ice. Voters ranked some 20 for eign policy proposals . now being debated in Washington, giving top priorities in the fol lowing order: Expand U.S. technical as sistance programs (skills and know-how). Provide more U.S. scholar ships to students from under developed countries. Stabilize Prices Join other "surplus" pro ducing nations both develop ed and underdeveloped in an effort to stabilize prices, prevent unfair competition and promote new markets for such troublesome commodi ties as wheat, cotton, and coffee. Place less emphasis on mili tary aid to underdeveloped areas of the world. Oregon voters were about evenly divided as to whether economic growth in the rest of the world should be based on private or government investments. While most voters felt that long - term U. S. economic growth requires a healthy and growing world economy, few favored a "crash program" of economic assistance. Ballots showed strong sup port for U. S. leadership in setting up regional develop ment institutions in partner ship with underdeveloped na tions. Such institutions have been proposed by the Rocke feller Foundation, beginning with Latin America, and by leading U. S. economic de velopment committees. Most Oregon voters felt that U. S. concern with for eign economic development should not be limited to those countries which' are important U. S. customers or which sup ply us with essential raw materials. Wet Give t? GREEN STAMPS CENTRAL REXALL DRUG Main and Central lem are indeed heartbreaking, but we can't see any way of avoiding pain in this situ ation. In the long run, this child will probably be happier if she is brought up in a normal home with her own father. It is possible that Mrs. K. E. can ease her own pain, how ever, by taking a more objec tive view of her situation. Six years ago she lost her daugh ter, but found great consola tion in bringing up another little girl - her own grand daughter. Now the pain of loss is repeated. The old wound is opened and this time the loss seems irreplac able. ' Probably Mrs. E. K. bound Edna too closely to her, for getting that she was only serving as a substitute moth er. This child should have been closer to her father and should have had some inkling of the fact that someday she would probably leave Granny for a new home. This kind of preparation would also have helped Mrs. K. E. recognize the realities of her own situation. The re alities she has avoided have suddenly caught up with her and she is harming herself and the child by trying to cling to the old ties. The realities are simply these: Mrs. K. E. is an aging woman with her childbearing and child-rearing years be hind her. Like other women of her age, she is confronted with the problem of finding new interests in life. Many women find a new lease on life through jobs, church work or social activities and Mrs. K. E. should explore all these avenues. When she creates a new and happier life for herself, Mrs. K. E. will probably no lice that her granddaughter seems happier too. The child now senses her clinging and probably, gives full vent to her own miseries in order to keep Granny company; (Copyright 1959, General Features Corp.) Small Worlds Around Us By Lynn M.

There's more than a one letter difference between a tick and a tic. One causes a twitch, the other a twinge; one is stupidly bothersome; the other is painful, can at times even be actually dan gerous. Probably, sometime or other you have had a tic, on or in your face, arm, leg, or most any other place on your an atomy. It is a small muscle contraction, serving no pur pose, and usually leaving as 'suddenly as it started. You may not know just when it began, but abruptly a muscle beside your eye may begin to jerk and palpitate at regular intervals, and keep on jerk ing. In any arm or leg this so-called "tic" may feel like a ' tiny mouse crawling just under the skin. Usually it is painless, but somewhat dis concerting. Cultivate Tics Some people can cultivate tics; they can set various muscles twitching at will; may in fact have the silly things so completely under muscular control they can stop, or start, the thing at will. This really isn't much of an accomplish ment but "people are funny." Now, in place of a "tic," which really doesn't hurt, and comes from muscular contrac tions, there is the real live tick, and this one can hurt. The tick is a little animal, that looks like an insect but isn't, about the size of a plump kernel of wheat. The ticks have eight legs, and possess the disgusting habit of bur rowing into the flesh of a warm blooded animal, to gorge themselves on blood. These are the characters who cause a twinge; a painful ex perience to the victim; one that can have serious conse-auences. Actually a tick is not an in- j sect, but only looks like one. Unlike the insect the ticks have eight legs like the spi ders, and two sectioned bodies and a pointed head. They are classified as "mites." There are various kinds of the little demons; cattle, wood, dog, and others, depending on the manner of animals they prefer to live on; the tick transmits many diseases; they have even been known to cause paraly sis in humans. Bloodsuckers Ticks a'r e bloodsuckers, driving 1 their stupid little heads into the flesh, and at the same time injecting pois ons into the victim's blood stream. Once filled with blood they drop off the animal to complete the remainder of their disgusting life cycle on the earth. It is believed the female tick injects a venom into the victim that causes partial, or total paralysis. Further exper iments have led scientists to believe the. female tick se cretes this venom only while she is producing eggs. So you see there is a great deal of difference between a tic and a tick; the difference is much more than an itching twinge or a twitch; one results in a jerk and a quiver and is silly, the other is a twinge, and it hurts.
