size in several areas in wes
tern Oregon. Similar com
parisons will be made among
the western states.
Information from all mills
will be summarized before
the report is published so that
data from one company will
be revealed. Interviews with
selected sawmill owners start
ed in June.
Marketing Practices
Of Sawmills Will Be
Studied by College
Corvallis Marketing prac-ial luber prices and mill lunv
tlces of 300 sawmills in wes- ber, log prices will be made
tern Oregon will be studied
this year by Oregon State col
lege. Oregon will contribute
to a joint regional marketing
project including sawmills in
Washington, Idaho, Colorado,
Utah, New Mexico and Cali
fornia. The project will assess cur
rent marketing practices and
obtain the industry's sugges
tions for Improvement of log
and lumber markets. Upon
completion of the study, a re
port will be published for
Oregon and for the region. It
will be for industry use as
well as for other interested
segments of Oregon's econ
omy. In addition, the data will
aid In future economic stu
dies and will provide valuable
Information for college class
room use.
Charles F. Sutherland of
the school of forestry staff,
and Emmett Thompson, grad
uate assistant, will conduct
the study.
Dependent on Economy
"Oregon is dependent upon
Its forest economy. As its
largest single segment, saw-
milling deserves recognition
and understanding by affiliat
ed industries and by the peo
ple of Oregon," Dr. George
Barnes, assistant director of
the colleges forest research
division, agricul'.iral experi
ment station, pointed out.
The project is separated in-
two two phases. The first will
describe the present market
ing practices of approximate
ly 300 sawmills in the Doug
las fir region of Oregon. Cur
rent log buying practices and
log markets for timber com
ing from both private and
public sources will be studied.
In addition, the mill's lumber
sales policies, market and
problems will be explored
In the second phase, price
and production information
for certain grades of logs and
lumber will be collected.

Maladjusted Apes
Need Mother's Love
Miami Beach - IUPD A mal
adjusted ape is not just up to
monkey business, he probably
didn't get enough affection
from his mother. , ,
This was the report of Dr.
Harry F. Harlow of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin -to the
Florida Psychological associ
ation here.
Harlow said young - apes
demonstrate a definite need
for caresses. He said in the
absence of their mother they
will develop uffection for in
animate objects such as a doll,
or even a stick.
The monkey deprived of a
mother or a substitute later
finds great difficulty in ad
justing to the society of fel
low apes. Physical contact
with the mother may be more
important than any other fac
tor in the ape's adjustment to
society, Harlow said. ,
Girl Hopes for Repeat
Lightning Bug Business
Chestertown, Md. Chris
tine Kimble hopes the bug
business is as good this sum'
mer as it was the last. The
12-year-ok! girl caught 8,140
lightning bugs last summer
and sold them for nearly $25.
The bugs were purchased
by the biology department of
Washington College for use in
scientific research.

program of ocean research received by OSC last year
started by Oregon State col
lege in 1954 has received its
biggest boost with beginning
of construction of the college's
new ocean research vessel,
the Acona.

Fined Jaywalkers
Squawk the Loudest
Cleveland - IUPD - Cleveland
police find they usually get
more protests from persons
arrested for jaywalking than
from any other kind of arrest.
Police Chief Frank Story
has enforced vigorously the
law against jaywalking since
1956, in an effort to cut down
on accidents. He said that of
the 364 pedestrians struck by
cars in the first four months
of 1960, 205 were jaywalkers
and that 14 of the 205 were
killed.
The penalty for jaywalking
is $3. The offense produces
about $45,000 a year in city
revenue.

, By BARBARA PERRON
(Portland, Or. )
, Illegitimacy today consti
tutes one of the most perplex
ing social, moral, and eco
nomic problems facing the
nation. The illegitimate child
is the unwanted product of
immorality. He and his moth
er are a threat to the institu
tion of marriage and a menace
to the taxpayer.
: With illegitimacy so persis
tent a problem, it is to be ex
pected that attempts should
be made towards a solution.
Unfortunately, however, il
legitimacy is one of those
problems which a community
would rather ignore than at
tack. It involves the most
intimate of human relation
ships and is therefore cloaked
with a reticence which is only
natural. But, because illegiti
macy, is not only a question
Of individual morality but also
a problem which involves a
wide range of inherent and
environmental factors, the
public can help to prevent or
at. least help to reduce the
incidence of illegitimate preg
nancies and births in the Uni
ted States.
Major Causative Factors
Case studies of unmarried
mothers show that unsatisfac
tory home conditions are the
major 'causative factors in the
illegitimate pregnancy. This
indicates that the family and
the home can act as the first
line of defense against illegiti
macy. . But only if the home
conscientiously performs its
functions of sheltering and
nourishing the child; of edu
cating the child morally, so
cially, and intellectually so
that he may be accepted by
the community and society;
of providing a loving but not
overly protective atmosphere
where the child can grow and
gain confidence and indepen
dence. It is the second and
third of these functions which
are so often neglected and
which so often might, as a
result of this neglect, lead to
an illegitimate pregnancy.
The responsibility of edu
cating the nation's youth
about all matters concerned
with and related to sex should
not be left to the schools. The
teaching of facts about biol
ogy, hygiene, or anatomy is
not enough to build healthy
moral attitudes and standards.
The school cannot successfully
provide spiritual and moral
guidance of the individual in
his development of attitudes,
habits, and ideals.
Fretdom Significant
It is of utmost importance
that people realize the signifi
cance of the freedom now
adays allowed to young peo
ple. There are Innumerable
opportunities for the two
sexes to be together without
adult supervision, opportuni
ties to work, play, and study
together, and thus to learn to
understand each other. This
present-day freedom imposes
upon parents an obligation to
educate their children on how
to use their freedom wisely
so that they will accept a
greater share of the responsi
bility for governing their own
actions by their own princi
ples. Love is the core of sex edu
cation, the love of a husband
and wife for each other and
for their children. If a child
Is born into a family where
love is abundant, he will
learn to give love in return.
First loving his mother and
Wather and other numbers of
the family, ho later learns to
love playmates, teachers, spec
ial friends, and finally is
ready for the love that leads
to marriage and parenthood.
But if the baby or young child
is not loved it will be difficult
for him to learn to give love
in return. In homes where
the parents' love for each
other and for their children
is expressed in mutual con
sideration and respect the
children are likely to learn to
give such love.
Emotionally Disturbed
Older children also need to
know that they are loved and
wanted and that their contri
butions to the home and
schools are appreciated. Lack
ing such assurance, some
young people become deeply
unhappy and emotionally dis
turbed. Others seek accept
ance in groups or gangs
where they win the admir
ation of companions by out
of - bounds behavior which
may include sexual experi
mentation. This is merely
further evidence of how an
unsatisfactory home life can
lead a young girl or woman
into such a situation as might
result in an illegitimate preg
nancy. The feelings and attitudes
that are significant in the
child's sexual development
begin to form very early in
life, almost at birth. The
child's parents and his home
environment influence such
attitudes first of all; play
mates, the life of the neigh
borhood, school and commun
ity exert their influence as
he grows older. These atti
tudes may last over many
years, and may affect the in
dividual's own approach to
love and marriage and his
ideas of family life. It cannot
be emphasized enough the
role that the family and the
home play in the molding of
the child's personality. But,
by making themselves famil
iar with the illegitimacy prob
lem and other behavior and
emotional problems, the na
tion's parents can help to par
tially or wholly ellminite the
problem of the unwed mother.
'Baby Oscar' Given
To Foster Parents
Pittsburgh - (UPD - Mr. and
Mrs. Fred George of Free-
port, fa., were awarded a
"Baby Oscar" recently by the
Family and Childrens' Serv
ice Bureau.
They were singled out for
rearing 21 foster children in
their home in the last 15
years.
"One piles up many mem
ories," said Mrs. George.
"There has been so much hap
piness and at times a little
sadness. We've learned a lot
about others and I'm sure
we've been drawn much
closer to God."
At present, the Georges are
rearing 16-year-old twins,
school - age boy and a pre
school child.
"Our home is a happy one,"
the Georges said.

coastal waters.
Make Regular Trips
Once the Acona is ready
for sea, the OSC oceanogra
phy department will make
reguhir and extended trips off
the Oregon coast studying
currents, water temperatures,
salinity, oxygen content, the
ocean floor and sediment,
marine life, plankton, and
tides.
Up until now, Oregon's off
shore region has been left
blank on many detailed ocean
ography maps of the Pacific
Coast waters because so little
research has been done.
The limited number of fact
gathering cruises made to date
by OSC have been on chart
ered boats out of Astoria,
Newport and Coos Bay.
Acona, the name picked for
the now boat, is an Indian
word for Yaquina. Newport

Britton was not present in j
the courtroom when Beciaoe

Taken To Small Room
Beddoe said Mrs. Ethel

harrassing her, kept telling
her that she had dropped the

They coerced her to write

told her to ignore what she

Military Surgeons
Train for Space
Cape Canaveral, Fla. -
(Science Service) - Tl.e free
world's first course for space
surgeons is now under way
here at the Air Force Missile
Test Center.
A select group of n.odlcal
officers from the Air Force,
Army and Navy will be the
first doctors to be qualified
for this specialty under this
new program.
The course was introduced
by Gen. Oliver K. Niess, sur
geon general of the Air Force,
and Col. George M. Knauf,
staff surgeon at the Air Force
Missile Test Center who plan
ned the intensive two-week
project. Its purpose, accord
ing to Col. Knauf, is to make
available a pool of qualified
medical officers frcm the
three services who will be
able to perform duties as
space surgeon. These doctors
will support the requirements
of NASA's Project Mercury
and future man-in-jpace pro
grams. Subjects for study will
range from the history of
astronautics to accept able
metabolic aberrations in space
operations. It is estimated
that 90 doctors will be quali
fied as space surgeons this
ytrar under this pioneer medi
cal program.
