Umatilla Basin Water Supply Fair Hermiston -CPD- A shortage of mow on water sheds in the Umatilla-Walla Walla Basin area points to "fair to poor" supplies of irrigation water from local streams this sum mer, according to reports at the annual water forecast meeting here Tuesday. Manes Barton, water sup ply forecaster for the Soil Conservation Service, said water content of the mountain snow pack measures only 72 per cent of normal. Farmers getting their irri gation water from reservoirs should make it hrough the season in "good shape," he added. U. S. Capitol building in Washington is open from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. daily with the exceptions of Christmas, New Year's Day, and Thanks giving day.

I don't know where I stand. Norman J. She is making things rough. Margaret F. - I am in my early 30s and have not been married. Two years ago I got involved with a man I had met in connection with my job. We went out to lunch a few times and he told me he was married but breaking up with his wife. He asked me to go out with him evenings and I did. He finally left his wife for about a week and at that time we became involved in intimate relationship. Then he went back to her. We get together now about once a week. He says it is all the time he can get away from mm COLOR PORTRAIT A Jack and Jill Child Photographer Will Be At WESTERN THRIFT Thursday, Friday & Saturday April 9, 10 and 11 9 A.M. to 6 P.M.

Even when we are together we fight a lot. I'll admit I pick on him and I'm irritable because I don't know where I stand. He says he loves me and will marry me - someday. Norman J. - Everything about this affair has been un lucky from the start. Yet I am very much in love with Margaret and certainly do in tend to marry her. My wife and I have been married for 15 years and we have been unhappy from the first day. We have always talked of breaking up. We have no children so we feel there is no reason for us to go on being miserable together. On the other hand, after being together 15 years you don't just walk out on some body who is sick. Margaret doesn't understand that. She thinks I owe her something too, but after all she is young and healthy and is used to taking care of herself. I do love Margaret and want to marry her, but she is mak ing things so rough I m af raid we'll both fall out of love. .. The Council: Quite acci dentally. Margaret and Nor man seem to have stumbled on one of the good reasons why bigamy is impractical in our society. It won't do to try to please two women at the same time. In societies where a wom an's wishes aren't of much ac count it really doesn't matter too much, but we are brought man feels that he owes an obligation to only one woman at a time - and usually it is the woman he marries. Mar garet's mistake is in imagin ing that by some special law she is the woman to whom Norman owes this obligation We can't blame Margaret for being upset because she doesn't know where she stands. She doesn't stand any where. Norman evidently doesn't really know where he stands either. He doesn't recognize that he needs his "miserable" marriage just as it is. The fact that he and his wife have done nothing in 15 years to improve things is a sure sign that they haven't had. the serious desire to do so. It may be possible for Mar garet and Norman to organize their lives somewhat more happily, but they certainly can't do it together. Since Margaret is the one who has most to lose by the present arrangement she should . do herself the service of getting out of it fast. (Copyright 1959, General Features Corp.)

In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS In New York "Sunday on the CBS program entitled "The Great Challenge"-a pan el of five distinguished Ameri cans questioned whether the great volume of news present ed by newspapers, radio and television is providing the American public with the in formation it needs to under stand these complex times. The panel's members were Presidential Press Secretary James Hagerty; Charles A. Sprague, editor of the Salem (Oregon) Statesman and a for mer governor of Oregon; Rob ert D. Swezey, executive vice president of WDSU Broadcast ing Corporations of New Or leans; James Reston, Washing ton correspondent of the New York Times, and Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., author and professor of history at Har vard University. OF the five all of them dis tinguished leaders in the field of information o n 1 y Mr. Sprague gave an unquali fied affirmative to the ques tion as to whether the public is getting enough information. The others dissented to a greater or less degree. MR. SPRAGUE (Charley, to his co-workers out here in the West) said flatly he thinks the information the public is getting is GREATER IN QUANTITY and BETTER IN QUALITY than ever be fore. I quite agree with him. But I go a little farther. I think what the American public GREATLY needs is more and better information on HOW TO READ AND LISTEN TO THE NEWS. How to AP PRAISE it. What to pay care ful attention to. What to DIS COUNT and why. II rE NEED especially, it ' seems to me, to learn to differentiate between factual news and what I choose to call JAWBONE news. It's the jaw bone news that is dangerous. It's the jawbone news that needs more careful and dis cerning readership on the part of the public. It's the jawbone news that needs to be ques tioned penetratingly by read ers and listeners as to its mo tives and its purposes. It's the jawbone news to which readers should apply the acid test of WHY DID HE SAY THAT? What is he try ing to make us believe? Jawbone news is the chip that needs to be constantly turned over to see what is under it. It's the jawbone news tnat needs more nonest and thoughtful interpretation by what we call the press. THEN Of rnnrse There's the scandal and the dirt. We can't ignore it when it is factual and not just gussied up to sell more copies and get more listeners. We can't bury our heads in the sand as the ostrich is alleged to do and IGNORE all such things. But we should pay less at tention to it. And MUCH MORE attention to the infor mative and constructive news that really dominates our newspapers and our respon sible broadcasts. The not-too- well known fact is that three quarters of all the news in every newspaper worthy of the name is informative and constructive rather than merely salacious. If any reader contends that any responsible newspaper in America is dominated by the salacious and the sensational, it amounts to nothing more than a confession on his part that it is the sahcious and the sensational that he selects for his own reading. T'D LIKE to commend as strongly as I know how what was said in New York the other day by my colleague and close personal friend, Charley Sprague. He is a THOUGHTFUL edi tor the kind we need more of.

Forty-one other elderly residents walked out or were led to safety. Louis Little, 82, Hights town, N.J., died in a third floor living room where he was having supper from a tray. Most of the 42 guests were in the dining room on the first floor of The Pines Rest Home when the blaze broke out. Firemen said the fact it was dinner time probably averted a greater tragedy.
