' 1 JMi TO DIVVV UP THE mil 2-Car Accidents Reported to City Police Recently Three two-car traffic acci dents were reported to Med ford police during the week end, none of them resulting In any reported Injuries. Saturday at 7:57 p.m., po lice received a report of cars operated by Harold Richard Adams, 35, of 420 South Grape st,, and Sally Leigh McKemle, 22, of 847 West 13th St., colliding at the inter section of Main and Fir sis. '. Damage to both vehicles was described as extensive. Police cited Adams for failure to stop at a red light. A second Saturday accident occurred at 8:50 p.m., when a stationwagon operated by Mary Augusta Coss, 32, of 1325 Bcekman Extension, hit the rear of a pickup truck driven by Harold Peter Lums den, 38, of 817V4 Niantlc St., on Grape st. between Melrose and O'Gara sts. Police said the pickup truck spun off the road after the collision. Damage to both Vehicles was described as moderate. Police cited Mary Coss for following too close Third Accident The third accident occurred Sunday, at 12:40 p.m., at the junction of North Riverside ave. and Highway 62. Police said a pickup truck operated by Ira Hardenburger, 74 Eagle Point, collided with a car operated by Violet Marie Granstad, 38, Portland. . Both Hardenburger and Violet Granstad claimed the green light was in their favor and each . had a witness to back them up so no citations were Issued, police said. Police-said damage to both vehicles was extensive and the pickup truck was moved by wrecker. Hardenburger complained to police that his legs hurt after the accident, but he was taken care of by a private party according to police. Ashland Students Cited by Foundation - Ashland Four Ashland High school students have re ceived letters of commenda tion from the National Merit Scholarship Foundation. . The letters are the result of Merit Scholarship Quali fying tests the four seniors took last spring, Stanley Jobe, superintendent of schools, aid. Although the students didn't reach the semifinals of Merit scholarship competition, the foundation felt that the high abilities of the four should be recognized. - Jobe said the, students are eligible for other scholarships offered by the Merit founda tion. The students are: Jerry Burns, son of Mr. and Mrs. Philip Burns, 121 Bush st.; Duane Hall, son of the Rev. and Mrs. H. W. Hall, of Springfield; Sidney DcBocr, son of Mr. and Mrs. Walter DeBoer, 760 Clay sl and Betty MacDonald, daughter of Mrs. Richard Nclll, 620 Glcn iwood dr. ill Small Worlds Around Us By Lynn M, Watkini So H Piled Up The- Car, Ha Missed The Black Call The car was nearly a total loss. The car's owner, some what jarred by the impact with the far side of the , ditch, dismounted from the wreck with a bumped forehead but with a satisfied look on his face. . He had purposely turned his car into the ditch to keep from allowing a black cat to cross in front of him. In his own mind he was happy in spite of the fact he had wrecked his car. Such a dedi cation to a silly superstition must be a very compelling force. Noi Afraid Investigation revealed that the man was not afraid of cats; either did he ever hesi tate from walking under a ladder, but he did have a hor ror of black cats and what they could mean to his future life and happiness. He firmly believed that if one of these black felines crossed in front of him if he were walking or driving, he would have "seven years of bad luck." It , is peculiar that the "b 1 a c k - c a t superstition" should still be a part of so many peoples' lives. In fact, it is surprising that this old myth should affect to a greater or lesser degree the thinking of so many intelli gent people. Once they have installed in their minds by some uninformed person that black cats are a bad. omen, the idea sticks. Some even will Dret'ent the idea Is ridiculous and silly, but secretly they still are watchful that they do not come in very close contact with one of these animals. Probably the black-cat myth started away back In the Dark Ages; or perhaps somewhat later and right here in our own country when witchcraft was suspect. Cats, to the non-cat-owner, have always been a little bit strange and somewhat mys terious. Because the cat was always aloof, haughty and in dependent, she gave the im pression that she "knew something that was not com mon knowledge." She prowled In the dark, when things of a supernatural nature were suspected to be abroad. The fact that some one said she possessed nine lives and could fall from a great height without injury, proved that she was mis understood. People suspect what they do not understand. The time was when anv black cat entering or leaving a house was supposed to indi cate a "witch lived there," ana the cat was sent out to discover mysterious "goings on." Those were dark days, ootn lor the black cats and the women that owned them. Pecular that these animals, so umortunate as to be . born with black fur, were sun- posed to be helpers of Satan. Today, we accept the black cat as a symbol for Hallo ween, implying that the ani mal represents the super natural. But the poor cat has no mystic power for either good ro bad luck. She hasn't even a charmed life, a fast- traveling motor car can can cel out all nine of her lives in a hundreth of a second. (Released by The Register and Tribune Syndicate, 1960) Australia Kidnap Suspect Arrested Colombo, Ceylon-IUPII -Stephen Leslie Bradley, 34, to day was charged with the kid naping and murder of Graeme Thorne, 6, in Sydney, Aus tralia, and jailed until a fur ther hearing of his case. Colombo Joint Magistrate's Court refused to grant the suspect bail, and set the hear ing for Oct. 18. Bradley, who was arrested Monday aboard the European bound liner Himalaya, in port here, said that he knew of the charges against him. He was arrested by Ceylonese police on the basis of information made available by the Aus tralian authorities in Colom bo. They were taking steps for his extradition. The Thorne kidnaping last July near Sydney sparked one of the biggest manhunts in Australian history. The boy was found murdered shortly thereafter. The case was the first kidnaping for ransom in the country's history. 1 The Family Council Editor's Note: The Family Council consists of a Judee. a DsvchU- trlit, three clergymen, three editors and a women's editor. Each article is a summary or an actual case history. The council reports on problems that have been dealt with by responsible agencies and counselors. Mrs, L.V.-My first husband should help me. Dan D. - I can't speak to Dad about Mother. Mrs. L.V. - I am in my 50s and have a married son by my first marriage and a teen age daughter by my second. My first-husband and I were divorced 15 years ago. Since we were divorced my first husband has become ex tremely wealthy. He has money enough to burn. I, on the other hand, have had a struggle. I've been working for the past few years just to keep things going. My present husband has a low - paying civil service job. Recently I had a serious operation and I'm in need of a long rest. It would mean nothing at all for my first husband to pay for this. How ever, I haven't spoken to him in years. It's up to my son to do it for" me, but he doesn't want to do this. His selfish pride means too much to him. Dan D. - I don't know whether it's selfishness or pride or what, but somehow I find I can't speak to Dad about Mother. He never speaks of her himself and I find myself tongue-tied when ever I try to approach him on this subject. I have offered to give Moth er the money myself, but she won t take it from me because she knows my wife and I are trying to save for a home and family. Mother is resentful because Dad was poor in the years she was married to him and his present wife has all the "gravy," but its just one of those things. Dad more than fulfilled his obligations to me and he just isn't responsible for Mother any more. At least that is the attitude he seems to take as far as I can tell. I guess most men would feel the same way. The Council: The one per son who is really concerned in this situation is not even mentioned, much less con sulted. He is Mrs. L.V.'s present husband. Mrs. L.V. reveals a com plete lack of respect for him and no sensitivity for his feel ings when she considers tak ing money from another man without even discussing the matter with him. Although Mrs. L.V. appears to feel she has some moral or legal claim on her first hus band's pocketbook, the fact is that he is simply "another man" as far as her present husband is concerned. Her present husband loses status in his own eyes when she turns to another man for help in time of emergency. His self respect as a man is deeply in volved in his ability to pro vide for his wife. Mr. V. is undoubtedly aware of his wife's attitude. She Homeless Children Are Helped Through UMC "Homeless children" is the description of a situation no one wants to see happen. That is why the support of Catholic Services for Children, through the United Medford Crusade is important. Every week children from Jackson county are served by this agency, and last year 734 days of care were given to children from this area. Citing the case of Dorothy and her brother, Tom, ages 15 and 13, when they came un der the agency's care, they had lost their father by death, then their mother died. Dur ing this period the children were shifted among neighbors and finally referred to Catho lic Services for Children by the county court. While some social security benefits were available, these were not sufficient to pay for must show in many ways that she compares her lot with him lo what "might have been" with her first husband. This is nothing less than sabotage of the present marriage. Mrs. V. reveals that she sees marriage in terms of its con venience to her and thinks little about what she can and should contribute to her hus band's well-being. There is much she can do to make her present marriage happy and successful. First on the agenda is to recognize that she has only one husband and her happiness and his rests in the intimacy and exclusive ness of their relationship, (Copyright 1960, General Features Corp.) board and room for the chil dren in a foster home. Tom, particularly, had been so neglected that he had little ability to get along with peo ple and had never even learned personal hygiene. He had nightmares over the loss of his parents, and needed special psychiatric help. Fortunately, the agency was able to find understand- ine foster parents to care for them and today they are do ing well in school and mak ing a very fine adjustment. A large number of orphans are under the care of Catholic Services for Children, which Polaris Given Short Range Test. .
