Boy Gets Army's Advise on How to
Handle Horse But Puzzled by Words
Madera. 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-

tatoes and barley.
"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.

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.

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.

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;

Many Differences Between
A Tick and a Tic .
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.
