It's Going To Be Increasingly Harder To Dodge Telephone fl i 1 ; By ELMER C. WALZER UPI Financial Editor New York (UP&-Here's an ad anion to a thing you can't dodge, such as death and tax es - the tele phone. x o u may think you've ducked Alex ander Graham B ell when you re walK ing along 42nd st. but wasn't that your Eloier Walzer wrist phone that just rang? You answer it and lie gently that it's a wrong number only to have the guy on the other end say: "You can't fool me, Bill You don't Jook a day older on talk over some business; So here you are face to face with old Pete in Waikiki who wants to know what's happen ed to that order of googols you promised to deliver by the 16th. And Pete's talking-rom a street corner, too. In Near Future Take it from Frederick R. Kappel, president of American Telephone & Telegraph Com- nanv. " there are . just such things not far ahead in the telephone industry - street corner, New York, to street corner,. Waikiki, telephone conversations, wrist watch phones, seeing the person you're talking to and being seen by him-to mention a few. Kappel writes about com munications to come in the "current "Telephone Engineer & Management magazine which is just celebrating its 50th birthday with a big fat edition that projects the fu ture right straight into the 21st century. Here is what Kappel sees in the future: - Automatic dialers, pushbut ton calling, pushbutton selec tion of a particular telephone, smaller telephone instruments, hand-free instruments con cealed instruments using ster eophonies, using telephones from every room, telephone from every corne'r, telephone from automobiles and other moving vehicles, and phoning from your vest pocket or wrist. Transocean Dialing Dialing across the ocean is imminent, says Kappel. Also there'll be data phoning, such things as tickets to the ball game or theater over the tele phone. You'll soon be able to talk to our manned satellites in space if the lines aren't busy. There is no doubt," says Kappel, "that a new commu nication art is in the making. This art will not only make our services more versatile, but should enable us to obtain much improved reliability." Kappel projects the popula tion ahead to get his predic tions into perspective. Population Increase He estimates that by 1975, there'll be some 235 million persons in our nation. He ex pects the population increases to be heaviest on .the coastal areas and in the west around the Great Lakes. There'll be many more telephone users and telephoneless homes will be cut sharply. Kappel's company has a lot of expanding to do to keep up with telephones. He estimates there'll be 335 million people in the U.S. by the year 2,000. And some time between now and then he looks for one telephone in 19 out of 20 homes. , Wagon Train Given Indian Travel Permit Pendleton - (UPD - Indians voted to allow the Oregon Centennial wagon train to en ter the state unmolested. They used .the white man's tele graph to notify the modern pioneers of their decision. ' Some 26 chiefs, represent mg Indians now gathered here for a nine-day encamp ment, sent a telegram to Wag- onmaster Tex Serpa. We hereby resolve that your train may enter Oregon as planned, provided you abide by all Indian signs and agree to smoke the pipe of peace when you arrive in Pendleton," the telegram read. Texas' natural gas reserves came to 113 trillion cubic feet at the end of 1957, or 46 per cent of the United States total. The Family Council Editor's note: Xhe Family Counci consists ol a. Judge a psychiatrist, three clergymen, a newspapei editor a women's editor and two writers. Each article is a summary i an actual report. The Family Council does not give advice; it merely report.' on problems that have been dealt With by responsible asencie ai4 aoiuuclora. Mrs. P.J. - He is forgetful and irresponsible. Victor J. - I cant' help it--that's how I'm made. ' Mrs. P. J. - What can par ents do with a teen-age boy who seems to have no more sense of responsibility than a baby? ' x . Our son Victor is 15 and the middle child in a family of three. He has always been the , lorgeuui ana irresponsiDie one. I can leave all sorts of responsibilities to his older brother and younger sister i i! a at .:n :j. ana jsiiow nidi uiey wm vi all that is expected of them, but Victor never, never comes 'through. Lately he has taken to stay ing away from home " long hours after school. Usually he goes to some friend's house or wanders around town. He has never been in any trouble. Al though I've asked him again and again to call me if he isn't coming home until late, I can't get him to do this one simple thing. Scolding or punishment doesn't see"m to bother him at all. ..- Yctor J. My mother al ways acts as though I'm trying to spite her or just be ornery when I don't do what she wants. She'll never believe the plain truth. I've told it to her a million times. I just forget. I don't know why I'm that way, but I just am. Things seem to go in one ear and out the other. . Outside of being forgetful I don't see where I'm ; such a heel as my family seems to think. I'm no genius at school, but I get along pretty well. One of my teachers said that if I paid more attention and wasn't so forgetful I could even be a candidate for one of the science medals they give every year at my school. When I told my mother about that she bawled me out for being forgetful. I thought she'd be happy. I want to stop being that way, but I just can't help my self. The Council: Forgetting is not just the absence of some thing. It is a positive state ment and Mrs. P.J. should be aware of that. It is a way of saying "no'' without risking immediate conflict. We all re member what we really want to remember. This should not be inter preted as the signal foe the P.J.' to rise in righteous in dignation against Victor. The "no" he issues is a cry from one side of his personality. In another aspect he would like to do as his parents wish and win their approval. When a youngster consist ently does wrong and insists it is against his own desire, he is suffering from some pretty sharp conflicts within him and his parents should do what they can to find the real source of the trouble. Fighting symptoms is never as effective as fighting causes. , In.. Victor's case, the fact that he evades home responsi bilities . and takes a certain pride in his school accomplish ments reveals that he feels op pressed by the demands made by. his ?p a r e n t s and finds school a challenge he enjoys meeting. People tend to feel oppressed by work and duty when they see no purpose be hind it, and believe that they get no love or appreciation for it. For one reason or another Victor feels cut -out of the family life and the P.J.'s must use the positive approach to bring him back. They should show Victor that he is appre ciated for what he can and does accomplish, that he is de pended f upon to accomplish certain ' things and that his parents believe in his basic ability.

Mentzer, Medford, Oregon, were guests at the July meeting of Lake Creek Grange. . - Mrs. Mentzer gave a short talk on a traveling bookmobile unit. She stated at the present Jackson county does not have such a unit. She is interested in knowing if there is anyone in this area that would be willing to have a small library located in their home.
