The trouble is, not all baby nigs are fond of the foods placed before them, particu larly those that contain health protecting additives. Damon V. Catron, nead oi swine nutrition research at Iowa State university, is work ing on an answer to the prob lem. He's foond that baby pigs don't lose their appetites while they are still drinking sow milk. Catron is trying to find a way to simulate the flavor and smell of sow milk, which when added to feed will in duce hearty appetites in the baby pigs. Family Council Jane (. He s so seuisn! Rebert G. Is it a crime to be in love with your wife? Jane G. My husband and I have been married 16 years and have three children. Our marriage has been very hap py until a recent crisis. My Dad retired a few months ago and wants to trav el. Fortunately he is in a position to do it in style. He wants to take me and the chil dren with him and Mom for a summer in Europe. He would take my husband too, but Bob can't leave his job. It's the opportunity of a lifetime and I was so thrilled! But I never expected Bob's reaction. He doesn't want me to go. He says he can't stand such a long separation after 16 years of marriage! Isn't that awfully selfish? Robert G. Okay, I'm a brute, a heel, a selfish jerk, etc ... I know what every body is saying. My in-laws are disgusted with me and half of our friends are ready to hang me. The other half just won't talk to me. All right, I know it's sel fish, but is it really such terrible crime to be in love with your wife? Sure I want Jane and the kids to have good time but a whole sum mer's separation! That's go ing a little too far. Jane and I were separated for two war years and that was enough for me. I made up my mind then that we would never be apart again if I could help it. The Council: So everbody's in the act. In-laws, friends and foes - all have opinions about this very personal ques tion. It appears to us that this may be the core of the prob lem. Bobs immediate reac tion to facing a summer with out his wife and family was consternation. Well, perhaps it's a bit on the selfish side, but we thiriK many wives would like to see some of this brand of selfishness in their husbands. Following Bob's consterna tion came a storm of protests from the world at large. Bob was at bay, on the defensive and had to fight for his po sition. Besides, the fact that his wife had shown a certain disloyalty to him by announc ing his attitude, must have made him feel that a kind of separation had already taken place. In a sense, he is now alone - defending his home from an outside threat. We think the situation might have been different if Jane had simply expressed her gratitude to her parents and promised to talk it over with her husband. She should have put forward the idea as a possibility and given him the chance to get used to the idea. They might have talked it back and forth for a while, giving Bob the chance to be magnanimous if he so chose. If, after a reasonable period of discussion, Bob still felt strongly about the lengthy separation, the idea of com promise should have been considered. A three-to-six-week vacation in Europe is also quite a treat. Frankly, we have a sneak ing suspicion that Jane is pleased and flattered. Sure, she wants to go to Europe, but she can't fail to delight in her husband's devotion and need of her. And well she might. Perhaps this feeling motivated her Impulse to tell everyone. Bob's "selfishness" seems to us to be on the nice and rea sonable side - the kind a nice and reasonable wife may want to indulge - with a com promise at least.

J. O' Leary of the U. S. Department of Labor today stressed to students of the region the im portance of education and training in relation to their future jobs. He offered actual figures from some of the Northwest states as well as statements from educators of those states in support of his appeal to youths, parents and educators that attention be given to the drop-out situa tion. Pointing out that the need for education and skill in jobs is expected to rise in the next decade. O Leary said that young people without ade quate preparation will find it increasingly difficult to get and hold jobs. He also declared that De partment of Labor studies in dicate great opportunities for those youths who do prepare themselves through schooling. Minimum Requisite A high school diploma is now regarded as a minimum requisite for reasonable em ployment career success, said the chairman of the Depart ment of Labor's regional staff committee. Oregon and Washington figures were cited by the official in describ ing the need by students, par ents and educators for giving attention to the problem of drop-outs. On the basis of reports from state departments of educa tion, O Leary noted, for ex ample: In June, 1959, Oregon pub lic high schools graduated 14,- 144 students from a class which had a beginning 9th grade enrollment of 23,932, representing a drop-out loss of 28.3 per cent. This 28.3 per cent does not include stu dents who withdrew and en tered some other school, but represents actual school quit ters." The report to O'Leary from the state of Oregon continued: "From those figures we arrive at two generalizations: "At present out of every 10 stu dents who enter the 9th grade high school and three drop out; and over the five-year period, 1954-55 to 1958-59 there has been a slight re duction in drop-outs, from 32.1 per cent of the class grad uating in 1955 to 28.3 per cent for the 1959 graduating class." Lack of Interest On drop-out causes in Ore gon, the Department of Labor was advised that studies con ducted in 1955 by the state showed such factors as: lack of interest in school work, Realty Officials To Visit Salem Salem - (UW) - Wednesday will be real estate govern ment tour day here as more than 200 real estate brokers from Portland arrive by bus for visits with top state offic ials.

Drug on Market "As the demand for un skilled workers becomes less and less, those without a high school education, which is considered minimal training for positions of any great re sponsibility, will become a drug on the labor market and an increasing burden upon so ciety. In our recent concern for the school program for the 04 'Satisfaction Stressed Parents educationally able and gifted. problems associated with those who are not finding sat isfaction with the present skiiuul prugram have been largely overlooked. A neglect of drop-out prone students could result in as great a threat lo the well being of our society and security of our na tion as the neglect of the ed ucationally able." The Department of Labor's studies, O'Leary concluded point up a clear and present need: ". . . for young people to avail themselves of a sound education and training pro gram; "... for labor and manage ment to expand and improve all forms of training, includ ing apprenticeship; ". . . for all of us to strengthen and support our school systems and those com munity efforts dedicated to meeting and solving many manpower-development prob lems; ". . . for employers to def initely plan on hiring the younger workers as well as the over 45-year age group, more women, and those dis criminated against because of color, creed or physical handicap."
