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.

GRANGE HEWS
Lake Creek
Mr. and Mrs. L. 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.
Mentzer was the projection
ist of a film that ,was of a
bookmobile in the state of

many services rendered to a

struction company gave us his
estimates for different kinds
of roofing materials. Our
Grange hall must have a new
roof before the winter season.
With the heavy work sea
son and company many of the

tend. It is the hope of those
that were present that more
members will attend the Aug.
