V Ja the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS Let's talk about women to lay. What do they want most? Especially, what do they want most out of the future? THE national headquarters of the YWCA got inter ested in these questions a while back. So, as many another organization has done, it MADE A SURVEY. The survey covered 10,000 women, from teen-age to sep tuagenarians. They answered qustionnaires on what would you like most to add to your life? What led the list? You'd be surprised. Of the 10,000, ranging in age from 12 to 50-plus, 58 per cent named TRAVEL as their No. 1 desire. No. 2 will surprise you even more. Fifty seven per cent of the respond ents said thy were chiefly interested in UNDERSTAND ING OTHER PEOPLE! School Mevs Phoenix Grade School By CAROL ANDERSON Six weeks tests were given Thursday and Friday, April 16 and 17. Report cards will be issued at Phoenix Grade school April 22.

Mr. Bertrand's seventh HMMMMMMM- That IS im portant, isn't it? ' In fact, it's VERY import ant. If you understand people, you can GET ALONG with other people. If you can get along with other people, you'll be likely to lead a pleasant life- If you can't get along with other people, you'll be apt to be in hot water most of your days HERE are a few other preferences: Looks and grooming More friends Dancing Cooking skill Sewing Reading books Sports Money management Science Marriage didn't enter into the study, but onfe teen-ager, in answer to the question: "Any activity you would like to include which is not in the above listing?" gave a one word reply: -v "Boys." 53 49 42 41 40 35 34 33 15 IN CONCLUSION, let's get back to the No. 2 yearning getting along with other peo ple. Perhaps the best answer given to that, down through the long centuries was pro vided by Goethe, who said: "If you want to undersand yourself, watch how other people act; "If you want to understand other people, LOOK INTO YOUR OWN HEART."

Girl Scouts Labor Men Protest Two-Job Efforts Portland -(UPD- A labor dele gation Tuesday asked the Portland City Council to halt the practice of municipal em ployees holding down two jobs. The five-member CIO-AFL delegation complained that firemen and policemen in par ticular were holding down ex tra jobs, thereby competing with the regular labor market. The delegation said that coun ty employees also were taking on other jobs. if TULIP SHOW I Choose Your Bulbs From Fresh Flowers APRIL 24-25-26 Cooking Studied Members of Girl Scout Troop 74 spent April 18 at Touvelle State park learning outdoor cooking methods. De spite illnesses, 23 girls partic ipated and were aided by four Senior Scout program aides and six adults. The girls worked in three patrols, with each group pre paring a different main course. Buddy burners were also demonstarted with bacon and pancakes being cooked on these. Patrol 1 prepared a one pot meal, hunter's stew, and had a fruit salad and s'mores for dessert; patrol 2 tried stick cookery with biscuit dough and frankfurters. They also had fruit salad and s'mores. Patrol 3 cooked coffee can stews and made graham cracker cream pies and a fruit salad. The girls passed requirements for the outdoor cook badge and made prepar ations for an overnight to Camp Chinkapin May 8-9. Patrol leaders for Troop 74 are, Christine Bartels, Sandra Irving and Christine Finch. Senior Scouts who- were pro gram aides on the cook-out were Cassie Thompsen, Ann Barker, Diane Lewis and Sherrie Pritchard. Leader of the troop is Mrs. Richard Finch and she is assisted by Mrs. Berwick Wood, Mrs. John McCann, and Mrs. Jer old Poulus. Mrs. Jerry Gasti neau and Mrs. B. E. Budge also assisted with the cook-out. Salem -(UPD- The Oregon House Tuesday concurred in Senate amendments to House bill 425 which would add $4 million for improvement of Highway 42 to a bond issue of S24 million for a new high way toll bridge across the Columbia river at Astoria. Vote on the measure was 43-17. The bill now goesvto the governor for signature. Chief opposition came from Rep. George Annala (D-Hood River) who maintained that adding the Highway 42 im provement plan would disrupt plans for improving Oregon roads on a regional basis. Stale Divided The Highway Department divides the state into five major regions and appropri ates money for construction and improvement on that basis. Annala said that about a 4-H Club News Betsy Dunlevy and Joan Es linger gave a demonstration on how to entertain for the Stitch in Time 4-H club. They showed ways of introducing guests and other things to do to have a good party. After the demonstration, the club got out material to make stuffed toys. Mrs. Miller had several different patterns, some fish, cats, horses, and the girls took their pick. Several girls went on the tree planting project at Butte Falls. They planted about 200 ponderosa pine seedlings. They had a fire to roast marshmallows even though it did rain. One girl fell in the creek and got wet. On the way home a visit was made to the fish hatchery. The last meeting of the Stitch in Time club was at Betsy Dunlevy's. Each girl displayed things she made, pin cushions, needle cases, scarves and stuffed toys. All the mothers were the"re to see the things, and we had a birth day party for Betsy. The girls watched the Pear Blossom Pa rade in the afternoon. Joan Eslinger, Reporter. million dollars a year which would be spent on other proj ects would be lost through the bond issue for the two projects. Rep. W. H. Holmstrom (D Gearhart) moved that the House concur in the Senate amendments and re-pass the bill. He said that both proj ects were urgently needed and that a bond issue was the only way to get them. Holmstrom explained that the Astoria bridge would not be built until Washington entered into contract with Oregon to share profits or losses from the proposed toll structure between Astoria and Megler, Wsh. . Agreement in Bill Highway 42 is not mention ed directly in the bill, but Holmstrom said there was an agreement with the Highway Department that the money would be used for improving the road between Roseburg and Coquille. A Game Commission bud get of $9 million caused quite a hassle in the House before it was passed and sent to the Senate.- Vote was 50 to 9. Rep. Keith Skelton (D-Eu-gene) said the Game Commis sion should be combined with the Fish Commission. Skelton said the budget for the Game Commission was up $2 million or 29 per cent over a year ago. No general fund monies are involved as the Commission gets its money from license fees on a state and federal level. "They don't need this extra money, they just have it," Skelton said. He said the Fish Commis sion budget which passed the House earlier contained a $1.5 million deficit and that if the two commissions were com bined, this money could have been saved. Rep. Katherine Musa (D The Dalles) said she thought license fees should be reduced rather than giving the Com mission extra money. Rep. W. O. Kelsay (D-Rose-burg) said that much prog- Camp White Builder Dies in California Ford J. Twaits, partner and founder of the Twaits-Witten-berg company of Los Angeles, died Saturday In Los An geles. , The construction and en gineering firm constructed Army camps during World War II, including Ft. Ord, Calif., Camp Roberts, Calif., and Camp White, Ore. Landmarks in Los Angeles which the company built in cluded the Biltmore hotel, the police building, and Pershing Square underground garage. Twaits founded the company in 1919 after work ing as a construction engineer for 11 years. ress had been made toward uniting the two Commissions but that sportsmen were not quite ready to do it now. The budget was defended by Annala, who said that much of the increase was from federal funds so that the ac tual increase in the Game Commission budget was only 11 per cent - about the aver age of other budgets being considered. A motion to re-refer the budget back to the Ways and Means committee failed. Two- bills raising legisla tors' salaries from $600 to $2,100 a year were approved by the House. One calls for an immediate increase and the other refers the issue to the people. XA state board of tax appeals would be set up under terms of a bill which passed the House and went to the Senate. The three man review board would be appointed by the governor. A director appointed by the governor is provided for in a bill which passed the House and went to the Senate set ting up the office to replace the present three-man Unem ployment Compensation Com mission. The bill also changes the name of the UCC to De partment of Employment. A bill to fix the term of the chief justice of the Ore gon Supreme Court at six years, instead of the present two, was passed by the House and sent to the governor.
