June G. - You can't force yourself to like someone. James W. - I am in my mid 203 and have been married less than six months. My problem concerns the relation ship between my wife and my family, particularly my sis ter. My parents were opposed to my marriage because my wife is-a divorcee. However, when they realized we were deeply in love they accepted the situ ation although they are not as warm and friendly as I wpuld like. But my sister, June, and her husband have been very unfriendly. I'd like to have a warm, close relationship and I want my wife to feel comfortable with my family. That isn't possible if my sister and her husband constantly turn down our invitations and rarely in vite us to their home. How can I prevent a breach in the family? 1 June G. - I am just as sorry as Jimmy about this situation. I don't want a breach or a fend, -but the fact is that you can't force yourself to like someone and I find I just don't like my sister-in-law. Ann has been very hoity toity with everyone in the family. She hurt our parents by waiting two months before inviting them to her home. She has given several parties without inviting any members of .our family. She didn't in vite my husband and me for about three months and took offense when we didn't jump at her first invitation. I am very fond o.f Jimmy and I feel he should have found a better wife. I feel sorry for him tied to a wife like Ann. I want as little as possible to do with her.

Green Stamps CONVENIENT LOCATION MAIN and CENTRAL start in this family relation ship, yet there are hopeful signs. The affection between this brother and sister is a spring board from which they can jump into a more mature and understanding relationship. A marriage always acts as some what of a jolt to the old fam ily ties and some adjustment is often necessary before a new relationship can be form ed. June shows an unwilling ness to accept her new sister-in-law into the family. She must change her attitude on this score if the breach be tween her and her brother is to be avoided. Perhaps she has never considered the pos sibility that her brother may see some defects in her hus band. Even if he does he probably accepts this brother-in-law simply because he is the man of his sister's choice. None of us can afford to set ourselves up as judge and critic of another's marital choice. June should also consider the fact that Ann has been deeply hurt by an initial re jection from her husband's family. Her delay in inviting the family to her new home may well have been caused by a fear of further criticism. The fact that she eventually came through with the invita tions indicates a desire to let bygones be bygones and set up a good relationship. It isn't quite true that we can't force ourselves to like others. We can help our selves to see their best quali ties and gloss over their im perfections. It is a good idea to train ourselves to be more critical of ourselves than of others. Too many people re verse the process and reserve all the tolerance for their own shortcomings. Kindly acts beget other kindly acts, just as unkind ones beget more of the same. So we recommend that June switch to the right track. (Copyright I960, General Features Corp.) Thunderstorms Take Six Lives in U.S. By United Press International Thunderstorms which spread across much of the country Sunday were believed responsible for six deaths. Robert Shook, 27, and his wife Marjorie Ann, 22, were struck and killed by lightning during a summer storm at Linwood, Mich. The young parents of three children were visiting across the street from their house when the storm broke and they tried to return home. Four children died when lightning set fire to a barn on a central Michigan farm. The victims, Raymond Cro foot, 6, and his brothers, Leon ard, 5, Edward, 3, and Allen Dale, 16 months, were playing in the barn when the light ning storm broke. Their bod ies were found among bales of hay. Salem - WPII - The use of 12'i per cent of O and C and National Forest fee money received by counties to offset state school support appropri ations was favored by the leg islative interim committee on education meeting here Monday. Incentive Pay On Wool Program Being Mailed Incentive payments on the 1959 wool marketing program are going out in considerable volume throughout the state, Pacific Wool Gowers reported. Pacific Wool Growers to date has processed and sent out incentive payments total ing $46,145.97. Incentive pay ment amounts to 43.2 per cent of the net price the grower received for his 19519 wool, according to R. A. Ward, gen eral manager. Pacific Wood Growers has joined with the National Wool Growers and the various state wool growers' associations in recommending to the Secre tary of Agriculture, at his re quest, that the incentive price level for the 1961 wool mar keting year be established at 62 cents per grease pound, which is the same as it has been each year since the pas sage of the National Wool Act of 1954. The Secretary requested the views of pro ducers as provided by the law, so he could announce the price level in order to assist producers when shaping up their flocks this fall for next year's production. The National Wool Act pro vides that the support price for shorn wool shall be at such incentive level as the Secretary determines neces sary to encourage an annual production of 300 million pounds of shorn wool. The 1960 production was 265 mil lion pounds, an increase of 34 million pounds since the program started in 1955. Ore gon's clip has increased from 6,723,000 in 1955 to 8 mil lion in 1960. The present Ore gon clip is 27 per cent larger than the 1949-1958 average. The amount available for payment under the incentive program is limited to 70 per cent of tariffs collected on imports of wool and wool fab rics over a period of years. No Delays Seen In TV Channel The granting of the new Medford television channel li cense will have no further de lays, barring some sort of dis aster, according to Ray John son, manager of KMED, one of the organizations applying for the station. Hearings on the channel were originally set for May 25, but were postponed for various reasons until Sept. 13. Exhibits were exchanged last Wednesday, Johnson said. After the hearings, which may take from one to three weeks, all three applicants will be given a chance to pre sent a summary of why they think theirs was the best pres entation. With the written exhibits, oral testimony and summaries, the Federal Communications examiner will then give an initial decision. This should come sometime in November, Johnson guessed. If the decision is not satis factory to either of the losing firms, they may then appeal to the full Federal Commu nications commission. This de cision will be final. Johnson said that he con siders all three applicants to be "legitimate." The commis sion's decision will be made according to which group best serves the needs of southern Oregon, he said. Indecent Exposure Cases Reported on Increase in City The Medford police depart ment recently reported an in creasing problem of "indecent exposure" cases in this area. Ashland also reported an in crease in such cases recently. Police Chief Charles Champ lin said that "molesting" and "indecent exposure" cases have rapidly increased since early spring. Within the last 10 days, at least eight inci dents have occurred, involv ing molesting of children and exposure by adults. Champlin said crimes "of that nature" always begin in the spring and reach a peak COMFORTABLE A little Boston bulldog that weighed less at less than eight ounces on July 4th picked up the name of Firecracker and captures the hearts of visitors at the Eancs kennel in Georgetown, Texas, where she lives.

Watkins The Chow Dog Has A Proud, Ancient Heritage The chow-chow grandmoth er made was composed of cu- cumoers, small onions, pieces of cauliflower, and sometimes flavored with mustard or a collection of other spices. She called it "chow-chow" or "mixed pickles." It is doubtful if she or any of her contemporaries knew that "chow-chow" was an easy way for the old sailing masters to describe a cargo of miscellaneous articles, sav ing them the tedious listing of individual items. Probably the word "chow" was a form of pidgin English used to describe food or a mixture of several objects. It may even have been an ex pressive way of circumvent ing the difficulties of master i n g an Oriental language. And, ridiculously enough "chow-chow" b e c a me the name of a breed of Oriental dog. From a Long Line This aloof and lordly mem ber of the canine family can trace its ancestry back a very long way. A hundred or more years before the birth of Christ, the Chow dog was con sidered a sporting or hunting dog. Some students even claim the Chow goes back NO NEED TO PACE the Floor Over Parking The Park and Shop Merchants give you 1 Hour's FREE Parking with a $2 Purchase.

Although several cases may be reported during a sea son, he noted, several may be contributed to one person. In presenting the situation, the chief issued a warning to local residents, especially par ents. With schools scheduled to begin next month, parents must alert their children to the "possible dangers" appar ent, he continued Safety Talks Although for the past six years the local police have given safety talks to local elementary children, parents have been asked to remind children to (1) stay away from strangers, many who entice youngsters by offering a ride home or candy; (2) report any unusual incident or "suspic ious persons" directly or in directly to the police; and (3) attempt to secure - identifica tion of persons connected with these crimes, either personal appearance, or vehicle license numbers. Thus far this year, eight molesting cases have been re ported, and about 18 indecent exposure incidents. Since these crimes are "hard cases to make," only four "expo sure" arrests have been made, the chief reported. The fig ures are "about the same" as last year, during the same period of time, he added. The span of suspects is "under 35," according to Champlin. No special areas have been designated where the "suspects" operate, al though many reports have come from city parks, and near schools during the fall. Penalties for Offenses Officers said that penal ties for such offenses can range from a $100 fine, 50 days in jail, or both-for in decent exposure or disorderly conduct- to a term in the state penitentiary for molesting. For more serious "sex of fenses," police added, heavier penalties are provided. Champlin emphasized the fact that youngsters, as well as teen-agers and adults, should "be careful," and "play it safe." Above all, he pointed out, report immedi ately to the police any at tempt or actual offense of this type. He added that the depart-1 persons Involved, is that rest- ment's chief problem in ap- dents are ."too embarrassed" prehending and convicting I to tell It to police officers. much farther than 2,000 years, thereby indicating that this dog is about the oldest recognizable type of canine that man knows anything aDout. The south of China, around Canton, seems to be where most of these dogs were used. for centuries they were used as bird dogs, much the same as the setter and the pointer are used today. About 80 years ago, the first Chows were imported into England and soon reached a hiah point of popularity. Since 1900 the Chow has become a common dog in America, and for good reason. The Chow is a short, compact, powerful dog with a rough, heavy coat underlaid with a soft wooly undercoat. The head is square, with short erect ears and a blunt muzzle. It is the only breed of dog in the world having black or blue-black lips, tongue and mouth parts. A peculiar characteristic of the Chow is the scowl that never leaves the face, giving the ani mal the appearance of being just a little provoked or slightly angry all the time. Glorious Days "Every dog," they say, "must have his or her day," and this Oriental dog known as the "Chow-chow" has had a glorious succession of them. In its long association with humans it has encompassed the entire gamut of the uses to which "man's best friend" has been put, for this dog has the stamina, dignity and strength to survive under ev ery and all circumstances and conditions. The Chow has come a long, long way from his mastiff ancestors in an cient Tibet and the samoyede of northern Siberia, and he has done it gracefully and with haughty dignity. The confusion of euphonic expres sion as to "chow-chow" mean ing mixed pickles, a mixed cargo in the hold of a sailing ship, or a wooly haired dog with a blue-black tongue has been only a minor handicap easily overcome by the "Chow." (Released by the Register and Tribune Syndicate, 1960) Wall Street Chatter New York - 01PH - Bearish i factors indicating that the cur-1 rent rally will probably be of a relatively short duration, according to Spear and Staff, Inc., are as follows: First, the rally began with out a previous selling climax or any wholesale liquidation of stocks. Advances that begin from such oversold conditions usually last longer than those that begin as the present rally did. Second, the quality of mar ket leadership has been of a relatively poor nature. Last, the best acting slocks have been for the most part defensive, money-rate and spe cialty stocks while cyclical issues, bull market leaders, have been generally neglected. Paine, Webber, Jackson and Curtis observes that industrial stocks as a group have already recovered about one-halt of their preceding downswing and that further intermediate progress may not be easy. The firm says Uierc is little on the horizon that seems likely to invoke a continuing broad up trend in average stock prices. As the economy continues to lack a dynamic spark, no fundamental basis exists for a renewed broad market up surge, according to the Invest ors Advisory Institute. The current rally should therefore be considered a technical re bound, it says. Bucyrus Erie strikes Purccll and Co. as an attractive com mitment at this time for worthwhile capital gains while involving small risk. The stock seems to have more than discounted the sharp de cline in earnings from $4.33 in 1956 and a price of 56. In dications are that the com pany has turned the corner, Purcell thinks.
