Mrs. L.S. - I don't want her to go there telling stories. Beverly S. - I am 17 and I have a very serious problem and no help in dealing with it, Mostly because I was very unhappy at home and uname to eet alone with my iatner, I got involved with a wild crowd at school last year. I might have gotten into serious trouble, but I wised up just in time. But it was too late to keep word from getting around that I had been at cer tain wild parties. Some of my former friends had to be sent to a reform school. Now I have no friends. The nicer kids won't have any thing to do with me. So I want to finish high school at anoth er place. My aunt is willing to let me stay with her until I finish school, but my folks won't let me. Mrs. L.S.-Complaints, com plaints are all we get out of Beverly. She says her latner doesn't treat her right, but what can she expect when she is always fresh to him? With me, she's constantly nagging for permission to do something she's going to do anyway, no matter what I say. I don't want her to go tell- "At-Home" Charm 9472 SIZES 10-16 Teens!

Then my sister-in-law starts calling me up and wants to know what all the trouble's about. My sister-in-law hasn't raised any children of her own, but she thinks she knows what it's all about. We never neglected Bever ly. She managed to get her self into all her troubles. Now let's see her pull herself out of them on her own. The Council: Beverly does have a serious problem and her parents should acknowl edge it. Mrs. L.S.'s position seems to be one of self-defense. She does not want to be found a failure as a parent and therefore will not ac knowledge that her daughter needs help. Mrs. L.S. should recognize that despite the best inten tions, parents sometimes fail their children in some way. If a child goes astray, a parent is not called upon to cover himself with blame or try to prove to himself that he isn't to be blamed. The more con structive way of dealing with the problem is to try to find out what went wrong and what can be done to redirect the child. Beverly's analysis of her own situation is not necessari ly the correct one, but her story should be taken into consideration. Why does she feel so unhappy at home? What is her complaint against her father? Why does she get fresh to him? It is very likely that Beverly is not doing well at school, but doesn't like to talk about this part of the problem. If it is the case, how ever, her parents should find out whether she can get some coaching in her weak subjects. They should encourage her to spend more time at her home work and develop her skills. Beverly also needs some help in finding new friends. Mrs. L.S. should investigate the local resources with her. If .Beverly joined a teenage church group, she would un doubtedly find better friends and she would be accepted as long as she behaves in accord ance with the group standards. Mrs. L.S. should also discuss Beverly's situation with a friendly teacher or principal. Possibly he would advise transferring her to another school, or he may find ways and means of drawing her into a nicer group. We think Beverly needs her parents, rather than her aunt, to help her out of her diffi culties. (Copyright 1960, General Features Corp.) Bevan Reported To Be 'Very Weak' London (UPD Critically-ill Aneuvin Bevan, deputy lead er of the British Labor party, was reported "very weak" to day at the Royal Free hos pital. Bevan underwent major abdominal surgery Dec. 29 but doctors said he has been putting up a "fantastic" fight for his life. A bulletin issued today by Labor party headquarters re ported today he was very weak. Thursday night a medical bulletin said the 62-year-old Laborite showed a "slight im provement" in his condition. One London newspaper quoted him as saying from his hospital bed, "Tell 'em I'll make it." Of the more than 180,000 known species of the beetle, only about 20.000 are found in the United States. TABLE ROCK Fire Destroys By R. E. NEALON Table Rock - Fire, believ ed to have been started by a heat lamp, early Thursday morning totally destroyed a 50x60 barn, and severely damaged a nearby building, used as an office and veterin ary quarters, on the Table Rock Ranch. In the buildings, and destroyed or badly dam aged, were three saddles, a quantity of small tools, belt ing, hoses, and a supply of feeds for show stock. Had there been a wind from the west, the Central Point Rural Fire department; which had two trucks on the scene, would have had a tough battle to have prevented the flames from spreading to other buildings close by, including a set of truck scales, a ma chine shed filled with equip ment, a hay barn, gas pumps, a shop, and a dwelling house, the oldest in the community, built in 1869 or 1870, accord ing to Mrs. Martha Gregory of Medford, whose father built it. The following teachers have been appointed in the local Sunday school for the current year: Bible class, Mrs. Ray Wyatt; intermediate, Mrs. Norman Matteson; pri mary, Mrs. John Dickey; be ginners, Mrs. Don Wheeler. The Sunday school meets at the school house each Sunday morning at 10 a.m. It is inter denominational, and every one is invited to attend the sessions. A large. 2-story house, on the Earl Peffley farm in Sams Valley, known as the Jim Pankey dwelling, built about the turn of the century, was totally destroyed by fire Thursday morning, Jan. 14. Several neighbors rushed to th scene, and helped to re move the household goods and furnishings. At last re ports, cause of the fire had not been determined. Roscoe R o b e rt s, representing the Grange Mutual Ins. Co., which insured the building, says this is the biseest loss they have had in Jackson county in the last 10 years. The other dav. while in a Medford store, one of the clerks tried to sell us a pair of slacks, which he said was R5 ner cent wool, for $18 and some cents. The slacks weigh ed just barely over a pound, and we told him that was more than we could get for a full grown sheep, with 10 pounds of wool on his back. Our better half, who was trying to help break down our sales resistance, said we shouldn't have talked that way to the clerk. But we think we farmers should tell our side of the story whenever we get a chance, especially when so many city folks think we are a bunch of par asites forcing them to pay enormous prices for food and clothing. Don Grissom, the Lake Creek farmer and sheep shearer, was here one day last week, tagging the neighbor hood sheep, which means clipping the dirty wool from the hind parts. This reminds us of the time when Grover Cleveland was President, and we were having a depression. Wool was worth about 15 Learn how w Get money at MN BYLAW' ...where itfs almost fun to borrow money!

Albert Straus, head of the Jackson County A.S.C. com mittee, told Sams Valley Grangers at their last meet ing that the cost of changing the Table Rock ditch, and putting it into tile, was far more than previous estimates, cutting heavily into the funds of the A.S.C., which assumed part of the expense.
