Newspaper Page TextTry and By BENNETT CERF- A PATIENT in a college infirmary was convalescing from an emergency appendectomy. "How are you doing?" Inquired a solicitous visitor. tne patient, "but it was rough yesterday. First they opened me up again to take out a sponge they left in me. Then they re peated to remove a scal pel they had forgotten." Just then the doctor stuck his head in the' room lo demand, "Any body see my hat and overshoes around here!" The patient fainted. Two business associate met at the entrance of an expensive psychiatrist's of fice. "Hello, Oscar," exclaimed one, "are you coming or Roinfr?" 'Listen, Joe,'1 advised the other, "if I knew that, I wouldn't be here." ' In a school essay on "parents," reports Sunshine Magazine, one young girl wrote with exemplary resignation, "We get our par ents when they are so old it is very difficult to change their habits." C I960, by Bennett Cerf. Distributed by King Features Syndicate Oregon Campaign to Become Real Race, Opinion Polls Show By A. ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Washington Correspondent Washington-Oregon's presi dential primary has the mak ings of a real horse race down I to the wire be tween Sens. Wavne Morse j and John F. K e n n e d v . j judging by the results of pub lic o n i n i o n polls taken in recent weeks. The Water- A KntiL. Smith linUKP Doll, old reliable among Oregon pub lic opinion samplings for many years, showed as of last month that Morse and Ken nedy were about even, an in formed source not connected with either candidated report ed here. Another Informal poll, not based on any scientific sam pling of voters, this week showed Morse holding a nar row lead over Kennedy. This was the result of a question naire circulated by Rep. Charles O. Porter to residents Of his 4th congressional dis trict in Southwest Oregon. Porter asked the 131,000 persons who were sent the questionnaire to name their presidential favorite, irrespec tive of the names which will appear on the Oregon ballot. The result was that 17,831 persons submitted answers -10,424 indicating they were Democrats 7,407 indicating they were Republicans. 33 Per Cent for Nixon Vice President Nixon re ceived 5.883 votes, or 33 per cent of the total who respond ed, and Gov. Nelson Rocke feller received 1,477 or 8.3 per cent. The Democrats divided their preferences among six men in this order: Sen. Morse 2,957 or 16.5 per cent; Sen. Kennedy-2,538 or 14.2 per cent; Adlai Steven son - 2,179 or 12.2 per cent; Sen. Hubert Humphrey - 1, 160 or 6.5 per Cent; Sen. Lyn don Johnson - 817 or 4.6 per cent; Sen. Stuart Symington - 746 or 4.2 per cent. The unknown quantity of special importance in this re sult is where will. the Steven son supporters throw their support in the 'Oregon pri mary, inasmuch as their fa '.vorite will not be listed on the ballot. Congressman Porter, who is now for Humphrey, expects the bulk of them to do as he did - shift from Stevenson to the Minnesota senator. On this basis, Porter believes Hum phrey has a fighting chance to make a strong showing in Oregon, if not to win out. Porter's questionnaire was sent out at random. All Ore gonians on his regular mail ing list, about 11,000, receiv ed it. This list is composed of names obtained from various sources - people who write in, lists of people of the same profession such as teachers, and several thousand names obtained originally by Porter s office from Sen. Morse's mail ing list. This could mean that Morse's hard core supporters in Porter's district had an op portunity to vote in Porter- sampling. Supplied by List The bulk of the others who received the Porter question naire were city dwellers whose names were supplied by a commercial mailing list firm, and post office box- OUR "GOOF" Is Your Oravyl BE A K-BOY Blooper-Snooper LfJ Stop Me "All righUnow, I guess," said holders and rural route resi dents who simply had a copy placed in their mail boxes by the postman as the postal law permits. This method of distri bution accounts for the cross section of voters of both par ties who participated. Morse ran strongest in Coos County, where 514 voted for him against 247 for Kennedy. In Lane County, his home county, Morse received 1206 to 1026 for Kennedy. Steven son ran ahead of Kennedy in Lane with 1055 votes. In Douglas and Jackson counties, Kennedy ran ahead of Morse. In Douglas Kennedy got 361 to Morse's 252 votes, and in Jackson Kennedy re ceived 379 votes to 348 for Morse. Humphrey did best in Coos County, where he beat out Stevenson 162 to 158. Sen. Johnson beat out Humphrey in Josephine County, 96 to 49; and Symington beat out Hum phrey in Douglas, 142 to 141. A Too Lata To Classify SPRING SALE 20 OFF on all balled and bur Japed fthrubs.

The Paris police are re ported to be stumped. Other than a vague tip to the effect that a few minutes after he had been released a car dri ven by a "tall, thin man dressed in gray" was seen to speed away from the kidnap apartment, they have no clues. About all they have been able to do at the moment this is written is to order a round up of all tall, thin men dressed in gray. WHERE - Oh, WHERE - is Hercule Poirot, Agatha Christie's fictional Belgian de tective who in such cases al ways solved the problem and brought the criminal to jus tice by the simple clarity of his deductive reasoning? No roundup of suspects. No drag nets. No lie detectors. Hercule just sat down in an easy chair, leaned back, put the tips of the fingers of both hands together and THOUGHT IT OUT. When he got it all thought out, he dis patched an assistant to collar the guilty crook. It was as simple as that. Hercule would certainly come in handy in Paris right now. BY THE WAY If in - casual conversation you feel called upon to men tion his name, don't call him Her-KOOL. Or even Her KYULE. And don't say Hoy ROT. Hercule Poirot was a Bel gian. He came from the side of Belgium where they speak French. (Over on the other side of Belgium, they speak Flemish.) In deference to him, his name should be spoken thus: Air-KEEL Pwaw-ROW. B UT enough of that. Let s get on with the story. LITTLE Eric's ransom is said to have been paid in GOLD COINS - $100,000 worth of them. The reason for that, it is assumed, is that paper money can be traced by its serial numbers. It can also be MARKED Gold coins have no serial numbers, and mark ing them -is a tough job. TTEMMMMM. It a good thing for little Eric's abductors that they did their abducting in France. If they had used gold coins in the United States of America, Uncle Sam would have had their heart's blood. Our old Uncle will stand for a lot of things, BUT NOT FOR GOLD MONEY IN PRI VATE POCKETS. That's VERBOTEN. WHY? , . Well, gold money CAN'T BE JUGGLED. Paper money can be juggled. And ... in recent decades we've had to do a lot of money juggling to keep up with the spenders. A Toe Late To Classify FOR RENT Close In. 1 BR., furn cabin. Moat Maimers. Washing fa cililim. 806 W.

Sfi& 1 Many Parents Wondering About Social Studies Given in Elementary Schools By LOUIS CASSELS Once upon a time, children studied history, Georgraphy and civics. Nowadays, in most U. S. elementary schools, they get something called "Social studies" instead. A great many benighted parents have been wondering what "Social Studies" are, and since their children rare ly bring home any textbooks, they have been hard put to find out. Now the U.S. office of edu cation has published a most helpful little boklet entitled "Social Studies in the Elemen tary School Program." It tolls what social studies are, and how they are - or should be - taught. Basic Concepts More important, the book let is an usually lucid state ment of the basic concepts of progressive education which today hold almost un disputed sway in America's public schools. It defines social studies as an "Integrated part of the curriculum" in which chil dren study history, Geograpy and civics "in their natural relationships." The objective is to "help the child under stand his social and physical environment," beginning with his own home and family and moving out in ever-widening circles to city, stale, nation, and world. Textbooks may be used as a "basic reading reference," but rarely is the course built around them. "The most widely found plan for organizing the learn ing experiences of children in the social studies is the 'unit method'," the booklet says.

The topic should appeal to the children's interests and should be appropriate to their age level. The booklet says; "Some of the most frequently taught units or topics in the first grade deal with animals, the family, helping at home . . ." Second grade units "tend to emphasize learning about peo ple who help us in the neigh borhood." such as police, fire men, doctors, etc. Third grade units frequent ly deal with transportation and communication systems and - a ubiquitous favorite -the Indians. The fourth grade introduces children to study of the history and geography of their own state and region. Nearly all fifth gardes con centrate on the United States. Sixth grades take up the Western Hemisphere, The United Nations, and interna tional topics. Pictures Gathered The teacher prepares for each new unit by gathering together as many pictures, maps, posters, reading ma terials, audiovisual aids and other "resources" as she can find. She also arranges for field trips and class projects in which children can supple ment their studies with "di rect learning experiences." For example, if the unit con cerns transportation, the class may visit the local airport. Or if the children are studying clothing, they may do some spinning and weaving in class. Progressive educators are convinced that this method enables children to go beyond mere assimilation of informa tion, and grasp the meaning and relationships - and the relevance to their own lives - of the facts they are learn ing. Critics say that the unit approach all too often yields a succession of play periods in which children pick up a melange of incidental infor mation but never gain a systematic knowledge of any subject.
