Mrs. J.F. -.Ellen doesn't date. Ellen F. - I don't have to depend on boys to enjoy life. Mrs. J.F. I am somewhat concerned abou my daughter Ellen, who is nearly 16, very attractive and likable, but dateless. Ellen is one of the top stu dents in her school and is ac tive in many extracurricular events. You'd think that would throw her into contact with boys, but sqmehow it doesn t. When there is a dance Ellen and her little crowd of girl friends are left out. Ellen doesn't seem to mind, but I feel that she should be getting some dating experi ence now. She plans to go to college and I know that many girls are left out of dating ac tivities at college. I feel she should get into the swim now if she doesn't want to be cast aside when dates become more important to her. - Ellen F. - Nobody will ever find me moaning over not having a date. I have so many things to do, so many things that interest me that I don't have to depend upon boys. My friends are all like me. We all have high marks and lots of interests outside of dat ing and boys. We all go to the theater together or to other places of interest. Sometimes we get together for the even ing at one of our homes and just talk and laugh ourselves sick. Of course, 1 we are normal girls and would welcome dates if they came our way, but we don't see any sense in sitting around crying about it if they don't. My friends tell me that my mother is like all the others - always pushing them to get dates. The Council: It is doubtful whether there is much to be gained by pressuring girls or boys into dating earlier than 26 Measles Cases Reported Last Week A total of 59 cases of com municable diseases, not count ing 333 cases of influenza-like illnesses, were reported' in Jackson county last week, ac cording to Dr. A.

The Howard Prairie project is part of the Talent project. The development is an im portant step in better and full er utilization of the area re sources, Youngblood noted. The inundation of the nat ural basin known as Howard Prairie has begun. The dam at one end of the reservoir has been completed and it is ex pected that the reservoir will be filled in two to three years. System of Canals Through a system of inter- they want to. Such youngsters sometimes force themselves into social contacts with the opposite sex purely to please their parents. But at heart they resent the whole situa tion and take it out on them selves and their companions. It certainly doesn't open the road toward a happy relation ship with a mate. On the other hand, children often need help in understand ing themselves and the world around them, and if parents keep the communication ar teries open they may achieve the same results they seek when they wrongfully use pressure. A girl like Ellen, for ex ample, undoubtedly has some desire to meet and form friendships with boys. Happy as she is with all her friends and interests, she is curious about boys and just a little bit worried about why she has been totally left out of the social picture at her school. Pride keeps Ellen from ac knowledging some of these things to herself, but if she felt that her mother was deep ly interested and sympathetic without being at all demand ing, she might open up more and confess that she is a little hurt and confused. Then Mrs. J.F. can help her go to work and find out how to build up contacts with boys. Undoubtedly Ellen and her friends stick together so close ly to build a barrier against the very social contacts they really want. They do not realize that the boys are just as fearful as they are and need opportunities and en couragement. Mothers can certainly help the girls under stand this.

I connecting -canals and tunnels the water is diverted from high spring runoff to the ba sin. When the water levels in the sources which feed the re servoir drop to normalcy the water will discontinue diver sion to the reservoir. In this way, prior water users of the source areas will not be ad versely affected, Youngblood said. In the main, the primary use of the Howard Prairie re servoir will be to supplement the Emigrant lake reservoir as it becomes depleted late in the year. However, its value to the area as a recreation center is important, the BLM official noted. Both state and local conser vationists recognize that the area offers possibilities to area residents for overnight camping, fishing, boating, and swimming. The management of the recreational aspects of the Howard Prairie project are under the jurisdiction of the Jackson county court, through lease from the bureau of land management. The drop in the water level of the Howard Prairie reser voir as water is needed for irrigation will not materially affect the recreation and fish ing uses of the lake, Young blood said. Of interest to the group making the trip were evi dences of past and present examples of land manage ment and the better uses to which forest supplies are now designated. Little Consideration In older areas where little consideration was given to fu ture use, there was left much slash and logging debris which not only detracted greatly from the appearance of the area, but hampered considerably its regeneration by well-intentioned efforts to restore the land to produc tivity. Modern forest management dictates which trees shall be cut, and that the areas in which cutting takes place shall be performed with a minimum of damage to the trees which are not now of harvestable age BLM officials noted. The area in which modern forest practices of sustaining the yield are exercised gave evidence of long range plan ning and intelligent consider ation for their use by future generations.

C. W. (Pat) Patton, district manager, said the company would move the lines to ac commodate work on the proj ect without charge provided the city pay $418 for the right-of-way over which the re located lines will pass, pay any cost of temporarily re locating power lines during construction, and sign up for service to pumping and other facilities at the dam site. The proposal resulted in considerable discussion on the $418, the amount which the company claims it lost when it gave the city a three-foot strip to allow widening North Oregon st. several years ago. The $418 represents $18 ac tual cost of the land and $400 legal fees. Questions Cost City Attorney J. P. Correia questioned why it should cost $418 when the company was, in effect, trading one right- of-way for another. He admit ted he believed the burden" rests on the city, since it is a city project. Patton said the company does not want "to be put in the position of continually moving lines at the company's expense and the city of Yreka's discretion." Yreka Mayor John Cum mings said he felt the prob lem of relocating a power line which would over-hang a por tion of the dam spillway and the need to keep an exisiting city water pump in operation to supply water during con struction is a technical prob lem between the company and dam engineers. Patton said he did not be lieve it was such a problem. "We're willing to cooperate, but only if we receive a guar antee it won't interrupt serv ice to our customers." There are about 40,000 in dividual companies in the U.S. which supply the na tion's homes, businesses and factories with fuel oil for heating.
