SUNDAY, OCTO&R 16, 1860 10 A MEDFOHD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, ORE. OF SMITH & MEN By Jack Smith (c) 1960 Tlmei-Mirror Syndicate Our neighbors the Daltons have sent their young son Eric to a private prep school In an idyllic valley some' where near Santa Barbara, . Calif., to harden his head lor Stanford. He is an only child and so of course they are begin- , ning to notice his absence in many subtle ways. : For one thing, the water level of the Dalton swimming pool has gone down. Eric him self displaced about 117 pounds deadweight. He was a permanent fixture in the pool. The Daltons even went to the trouble of devising a floating tray to feed him egg sandwiches during hot spells, His mother got a nice tan just by wailing on him. The reason they sent him away to prep school is that Stanford has raised its re quirements since Dalton went there and they have to give the boy extra thrust. The Daltons obviously miss the lad, but he warms their hearts by writing now and then, when he needs some thing. Mrs. Dalton rushed over the oilier morning to show us one of his first communications. It was addressed "Occupant." Eric apparently didn't want to let on to the boys in school that lie hud a mother and father. At his age parents are regarded as a social stigma. In the letter itself, how ever, he recognized the rela tionship, beginning with the salutation, "Dear Folks." Then he went at once to the heart of his problem. "Didn't you got my letter asking for that stuff?" he wrote. "So far you haven't mentioned it. Maybe by the time you get this it will be here. I don t want to seem Local Students Named to Group Three St. Mary's High school students have been named to a high school advisr ory committee to the attorney general on crime prevention.

"What is it the boy wants?" I asked Mrs.' Dalton. "May be it's something we could help with. Pencils? Note books? Slide rule?" "Read on," she said. "Read on." "In case you didn't got my other letter," he wrote, "here's what I would like you to send me. "Fizzles (lot's of them). Gum (not too much). Tang (one jar). Cookies (one package). The ones you sent up before are all gone. They were good. "I will be pretty well set if you could send me these things. You probably already have. I have about a B aver age. Ou est le petit grateau?" "What's that mean," I ask ed? "ou est le petit grateau?" "Isn't that wonderful?" said his mother. "He's learning French already. It means where are the little cookies, I think." , "Big deal," I said. "Appar ently he hasn't learned that the possessive apostrophe doesn't belong In the word lots, in reference to Fizzles, whatever they are." "They're little things that go with the Tang," she ex plained. "That's instant or ange juice." "It's none of my business," I told Mrs. Dalton, "but it seems to me you're indulging the boy. Let him deny him self for a change, learn how to live with austerity." "Listen," my wife said. She had been fishing through her mementoes and had a yellow scrap of paper with the bold letterhead of the Fourth Divi sion, U.S. Marine Corps. Ap parently it was some little something I had written her during World War II, in a moment of weakness. "Ou est le petit grateau?" she read. "Us men are getting desperate." War is hell.
