o TUESDAY, OCTOBER 25, I960 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. ORE. A :3 Education Board Planning To Ask Pay Boos! Funds Monmouth - IUPD - The State Board of Higher Education Monday tentatively resolved to ask the 1961 legislature to provide about $6 million to increase salary scales in state institltions. The board decided to seek . more than $2 million to pro vide a seven per cent increase for the 1961-62 school year . to bring faculty pay up in addition to a 3.B per cent nor mal increase for faculty mem bers who have not reached the top scale. Scale Ranki 13th The board also decided to request funds to provide an other seven per cent pay boost for the 1962-63 school year. In a salary analyzation which prompted the request, the board said it found that an Oregon State college and University of Oregon uniform pay scale ranked 13th in a list of 20 comparable schools In the nation. The total increase for the next two-year period would ' be $6,245,000 and for t h e first year would be $2,251, 000. The current amount re ceived by the academic staff ' this year is $20,848,000. -' The board also learned The Family Council Editor's Note: The Family Council consists or a Judge, a psychia trist, three clercymen, three editors and a women's editor.

Mrs. F. M.-School is up to Barbara and her teacher. . - Barbara M.-I have all kinds of problems in school. Last week my official teacher sent me to the guidance teach er because I'm failing in So cial Studies and Gym of all things. I never have a clean uniform. - I hate my Social Studies teacher. We're studying Japan. When I brought an obi to class-the sash for a Kimono which my uncle brought when he got out of the service-Miss D. got sarcastic; She said, "Don't think this is going to raise your mark. You better start doing some homework." I do homework, but she gives about 50 pages a day.

A spokesman said the in crease in the proportion of high school graduates who go to college probably would in crease the number of fresh men at state schools next year by as much as 7.8 per cent.

My father and mother aren't the least bit interested in how I feel, what's going on in school, whether I'm happy or un happy. ... Mn. F. M.-Barbara is 12 years old. When I was 12 I had six younger brothers and sisters to help with. Barbara has only herself to look after, and you'd think she could at least wash and iron a simple gym suit! My husband and I go to business. We have plenty of headaches, believe me. And we have no one to go crying to. If Barbara has trouble in school, she has all those teach ers there to help her. That's what she's entitled to. That's what we pay taxes for. Of course we love Barbara and want her to be happy. But she's a big girl. We try not to bother her with our trou ble, but she ought to be able to handle her own ups and downs-between her and her teachers. She has a nice home, pretty clothes and a generous allow ance. What more does she want? If she's not satisfied with her parents, she's plain ungrateful. The Council: The age of 12 is indeed a tender one for facing alone the pressures that come with early adolescence. Mrs. M. and her husband are abdicating far too soon. It s surprising that Mrs: M whose own adolescence was heavily burdened with adult - level responsibilities, should have so little sensi tivity for the anguish her daughter is going through. Perhaps the mother's finer feelings are dulled and she is content merely with pro viding Barbara with more of the externals" than she her self had, with no concern about the inner turmoil that besets a young girl on the threshold of her teens. All sorts of self-doubt may assail a child at this time and she needs endless bolstering of confidence. She wonders: Are my body changes normal? Will I be attractive? Do my friends really like me? She is bursting for talk, craving sympathetic ear, especially from her mother. Yet,1 emo tionally, she is orphaned. And she has sunk into a what's- the-use apathy. A teacher can take up where a mother leaves off, But she cannot take over a mother's whole jobi Nor a father s. And Mrs. M. is ex pecting too much of both the school and Barbara. The division of labor is not so clear-cut as she's like to think. Barbara's wholesome devel opment is still very much in her mother s hands. It has been shown in studies of the mentally ill that the one factor which often pushes one persons over the brink while another, of similar back ground, can stand pat is the amount of good mothering available. Nothing gives a child as much strength to face life's stresses as the solicitude of a warm and intelligent mother. A. turnabout is in order for Mrs. M. Barbara's problems are 100 per cent her nrob lems, too. Actually, they are family problems and take their place alongside the ones she and her husband have. Together, splitting the "head aches" three ways, this family can reduce the present ten sions among them. Ending her departmentalized concept of duty, Mrs. M. must become a full-time mother, - rather than a subcontractor. (Copyright 1960, General Features Corp.) NAVY MAN DIES Stamford, Conn.-(UPD- Capt.

Cooper Jr., of the Department of Surgery in Em ory university, Atlanta, re cently wrote that many persons who have had their varicose veins operated o n are not entire ly s a t i sfied. Some women, per haps, ex p e c t ed too much, espe cially in the way of getting rid of the little "spider veins" which form within the skin of the thighs. Dr. Cooper says that treatment of such spiders is not satisfactory. If one tries to plug them up by injecting some substance, the inflam matory reaction is likely to produce a darkening of the skin in the area involved. The woman may lose the spider, but she may dislike the brownish discoloration which remains. Also, after a year or so, little veins can recur. Dr. Cooper says that in over 80 per cent of the patients with large worm-like veins under the skin, there is a fam ily history of a similar dis ease.- rne paucm a may have had such veins. They usually begin to enlarge after the age ol 30. uuen mey enlarge rapidly during a preg nancy, or during a period of rapid gain in weight, or when the person has to stand all day I behind a counter. Dr. Cooper says that in most cases the veins do not pro- Books of Dayton Founder Discovered Dayton. Ore. -HOT- A large cache of old books which once were the property of General Joel Palmer, founder of Day ton, has been discovered on the upper floor of an old house here. The books were found by State Sen. Carl Francis, a member of the board of direc tors of .the General Joel Palmer Foundation. The house, still owned by the descendants of Palmer, is unoccupied. Francis said he found many of the books contained Palm er's handwriting on the fly leafs. Included were proceed ings of the Indiana state con vention of 1851. Palmer was superintendent of Indian Affairs in Oregon Territory from 1853 to 1859. He came to Oregon by wagon train in 1846. duce any very disturbing symptoms. They may seem to produce some feelings of heav iness and fullness, but com monly the woman wants them removed because they look ugly. The large veins do not often cause much swelling of the lower let; or the ankle Marked swelling of the ankles is usually due to another dis ease, called lymphedema, in which the veins are not en larged, and in which it is use less to remove them. Skin Becomes Brown In a few cases in which large varicose veins cause an impairment in the circulation of the leg, the skin on the inner side just above the an kle, becomes browner and browner, until eventually it may ulcerate. If it ulcerates, the veins may have to be treated, and then the ulcer may have to be skin-grafted. As I have said here before, the best operation today for large varicose veins is what is called stripping.' In this op eration, a number of , small incisions are made in the skin of the leg over the big vein, and then it is pulled out through the little holes. State Library Branches To Be Sought in Law , Salem - IUPD - State Librar ian Eloise Ebcrt said Monday she will ask for enabling leg islation in the 1961 legisla ture to permit the state li brary to establish branches in the state. The state library, located in the Capitol Mall, now has no such authority. She said she is seeking other legislation to liberalize Oregon's library law. The law as it stands is hampering Oregon's participation in the federal-stale library develop ment program for rural areas, she said. New Projects Difficult A recent attorney general's opinion said that the slate li brary has no power to con tract or lease property and Miss Ebert said il has "been difficult if not impossible to develop new projects in 1960 61." The state library has pro posed a "demonstration cen ter" as an experiment in Eastern Oregon. The proposed center would be located in La Grande and would serve Un ion, Wallowa and Baker coun ties. - - - . Miss Ebert said the propo sal will be put to the commun ities involved about Nov. 1.
