Mv sister is un

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?

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.
The Council: Things have

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.

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

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

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

in late spring and early sum
mer. 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-

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."

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.
