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.

Margaret F. I don't know

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

his wife who has been quite
sick. But the rest of the week
I am left alone every night.
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.

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.
