Charles F. - She says she still loves me. Eileen J. - I was only 18. fiarlet F. - I have recently returned from Navy service to face an awful shock. My parents told me that the girl I planned to marry had been Involved with a married man in our community and that there had been quite a scan dal, i I didn't think Eileen would have the nerve to look at me again, but she called me and begged to see me. I finally went and was shocked by the difference in her. She had lost about 20 pounds and really looked like a case for a rest home. She said the whole thing had been a horrible mis take, that she had always loved me and still does and wants to marry me. My parents say I'd be nuttier than she is if I march down the aisle with her, but in a way I feel I love her more than ever. I do feel she is basically a good kid and I know the guy she was in volved with was' the lowest thing on two feet. Eileen J. I know how Charlie feels and I certainly wouldn't blame him if he never wanted to look at me again. Even if we hadn't plan ned to get married before Charlie left for the service, why would he or any one else want to marry a girl who had been the scandal of the com munity? " All I can say in my own defense is that I was only 18 and this man was more than twice my age. He had had many affairs before and every body admits that he is a fascinating guy. I was so flat tered when he took an inter est in me that I was just swept off my feet. I have never been really serious about anyone except Charlie. I feel that if we mar ried and moved away from here we could be happy. Charlie's parents have been awful about it all. The Council: Eileen's de fense of herself has some strong points, but we certain ly wouldn't recommend mar riage at this time not for either party. It is true that a girl of 18 may have to put up some stiff resistance 'against an experi enced and fascinating seducer of more than twice her age, but a girl of 18 of sound char acter and upbringing also nows better than to subject herself to such an unusual temptation. Yes, every seduc tion is a two-way street and the most aggressive male be comes disheartened in the face of persistent cool disin terest. An important question both Charlie and Eileen ought to ask themselves is why is Ei leen now so impatient for mar riage? After a disastrous ex perience, .most individuals find it necessary to take some time to pull themselves to gether again. They don't know their real feelings until they have given themselves a re cuperative period. Much of what Eileen says suggests that it is not love so much as fear that draws her to Charles at this time. Her lack of understanding o f Charles' "awful" parents in dicates immaturity of thinking and feeling. Surely, even a very young girl can under stand why parents wouldn't want their son to marry a girl who has just been involved in a scandalous affair. Eileen is clearly in a dread ful position at this time and is trying desperately to save herself. The only reason that we can see for Charles' loving her "more than ever" is that he is touched by her helpless ness. These two elements make a very poor basis for marriage. If there is any real love involved on either side here,' it will survive a good long wait. (Copyright 1959. General Features Corp.)

L Hicks, Local Manager Pacific Air Lines -1 'Ml In 1956 I bought a new Chevrolet Station Wagon from you. ! drove this car approximately 3 years with an overall average gas mileage of 26.8 miles per gallon, both town and country driving included. I was very pleased with the courtesies shown me and the service I received from this car. I was very reluctant to trade it off, but I fell in love with the new 1959 styling, and knew from my past experience, both with my 1956 Chevrolet and your service, that I would be happy with my new car. This has proved to be true, as I have just had my 2,000 mile check-up, and have averaged 24.5 miles per gallon, and feel that this car has been more beautiful and more pleasurable to drive. I make a good many trips between Medford and Crescent City, and my Chevrolet power steering certainly helps straighten out the curves on that road. The performance is terrific! I feel no one could make a mistake by purchasing a new 1959 Chevrolet.

Watkins A 'Picture Postcard' Spot Almost 'UNTIL THEY CAME' "Let no one say, and say it to your shame. That all was beatuy here until you came." It was a quiet little lake, nestled snugly in a group of trees. Pond lilies dotted its surface; the blue sky was re flected in its limipid waters. From a little distance, on the natural elevation of the high way, the Jake resembled a shining gem, unsullied and unspoiled. One American child in five goes to a hospital within a year and the duration of the average stay as a patient is five days. At the near edge a snow white bird stood like a statue in the shallows. At the oppo site shore a boat was tied to a tree. The whole thing look ed like a picture in a travel folder. Winding Road There was even a winding road wandering through a pine woods; ending near the idyllic spot; all the ingredients of a dream, laid outdoors. But others had traveled that road before. Along it had passed some who were thoughtless, lazy, greedy, stupid and sel fish. Some had come here, not because they sought beauty, solitude or communion with natural beauty, but to rid themselves of their trash. Along the winding road, in great piles, were empty paint cans, bottles, discarded bed- springs, piles of plaster, tar paper, old automobile tires, old shoes, and a disgusting miscellany of rubbish that somebody didn't want. Even on the shore of the little lake, where the road approached, were heaps of junk. Here, in unsightly piles, was the resi due of what we call a 'high order of civilization; debris from a culture we believe to be of a high order. Neither is the little lake, nor the road leading to it the only recipient ' of the visita tions of the debris-dumper and the rubbish-runner. Any or all of the side roads are sullied and spoiled by these unsightly patches of discarded junk. The dumper thinks it's cheaper for him to dump his trash along the highway than to have it hauled away and disposed of in an orderly manner. 'Dumper-Valve' ' His own home and yard may be spotless, orderly and beautiful; his car may be bright and new; he may even be a fastidious person in his dress, but somewhere in the dim recesses of his brain there is a "dumper-valve" that opens and shuts with disgusting regularity. Someone said once that "a thing of beauty is a Joy for ever;" a quiet lake, a lazy riv er, a winding country road, a group of trees, or a sandy beach should be a beautiful and unspolied bit of the out doors. Even efter we pass, it should remain clean. God's great outdoors can continue to be a very beautiful place. It is just common decency for each of us to keep it that way, so that those who come after us will find a beauty spot in stead of dump. 1 (Released by The Register and Tribune Syndicate, 1959) Electrical Wiring & Repair Industrial Commercial Residential Call Jack Henbest ROGUE ELEC.
