ft ft ft ft ft ft A MERRY CHRISTMAS . TO YOU ft ft ft ft ft ft 8 B SUNDAY. DECEMBER 25, 1960 The Family Council Editor's Note; The Family Council consists of a Judce, a piyrhla trlst, three clergymen, three editors and a women's editor. Karri article Is a summary of an actual case history. The Council reports on problems that have been deaJt with by responsible agencies and counselors. Loretta Y. - My aunt is kill ing herself caring for her brother-in-law. Marian Y. - He is so help less. It's the least I can do. Loreita Y. - Aunt Marian never married and made her home with her sister and brother-in-law, Aunt Bea and Uncle Lou. They've all grown old together and, since there are no children to do so, the nieces and nephews are wor rying about what will become of them, alone and teerjie. Uncle Lou, at 81, is con valescing from an operation. When I visited the home, I found Aunt Marian feeding him patiently. Aunt Bea does her part in caring for her husband, but it is Aunt Mari an who makes hot coffee for him at 3 a.m., and who chips from her small savings to pay for a visiting nurse and barber. She was completely ex hausted. She's 78 years old herself, and not very steady on her feet. I've urged her to conserve her own health and, since they can't afford round-the-clock home nursing for Uncle Lou. to let him be taken to a nursing home until he's fully recovered. She refuses. something important for a fellow human being, some thing he couldn't obtain else where. She has stood between him and the cold walls of an institution. So, to her role of fond and grateful sister, she has added those of mother, nurse, pro tector. Like Loretta, many people are at a loss to account for the motivation behind acts of self sacrifice. Aunt Marian's are now clear. We are reminded of a middle-aged woman who similarly puzzled her friends by her faithful attendance as a volunteer worker in a home for the aged. Her explanation: "My mother died before I had a chance to be real nice to her. This work gives me a chance to be nice to other people's mothers, in her name." As with Aunt Marian, the rigor of the job didn't matter in the face of the emo tional comforts it provided. Loretta and 1 lie oilier rela. lives can do no more at this point than continue to show Iheir interest through visits, letters and phone calls, plus occasional gifts to case the housekeeping budget. These elders may 1 be alone and feeble, but there's steel in Iheir spines and they won't hollor "Uncle!" (or "Neph- MWk 1 WARM WINTER Wednesday, the first day of winter, passed unnoticed by these three Christmas shoppers in San Diego, Calif., as temperatures soared into the 80s.

Marian Y.-I know all about A p s (o Aunt Marinn hl)w. nursing homes and while I P,,P nnn'i pr.nrin. ..n have an ounce of strength left ing ,omcs because of your ex periences with a bad one. Most I'll spare Lou from that or deal. It's the least I can do for Bea and him. They've been kindness itself to me. And without my help, Bea would have no choice but to send him to a home. It's a 24-hour job and takes two people. I prepare tempting meals for Lou, food I know will ap peal to him. In a nursing home, he'd get glob. And when he falls asleep I. sit nearby, because the medicine makes him dizzy and he might fall out of bed. Loretta can't understand why I, who am only Lou's sister-in-law, take such an In terest in his comfort. Well, as I said, my sister and Lou made life worth living for me. And Lou never missed a holiday or my birthday without bring ing me flowers. Besides, I'm more domestic than Bea. She used to go to business and I ran the kitchen. But, most important of all, Lou is so grateful. Yesterday when I bathed his face with cool water he looked up at me and said, "Marian, you're so good to me!" That made it all worthwhile. I didn't feel tired any. more. The Council: This well meaning niece fails to see the many satisfactions her elderly aunt receives from her minis trations in this household, des pite the drains on her. Here is a childless woman who is now pouring out a form of maternal solicitude on her ill brother-in-law and rath er helpless sister. Seeing Lou comfortable, watching h i m doze, pampering him, gives ner ine joy of achievement of them nowadays must meet strict standards for a license to operate. And many of Ihem are staffed by people with live consciences and warm hearts like yours. (Copyright 1960, General Features Corp.) Grange Notes Greenhorn Grange Yreka - The music of Mrs. Cecil Elliott on her Hammond electric organ highlighted the Greenhorn Grange Christmas program Saturday, Dec. 17. Mrs. Elliott played Christ mas carols and popular Christ man songs. The program was prepared by Mrs, Edgar Hollo- way and Mrs. Haskel. The first number was a welcome by kindergarten stu dent Kathleen Bley which was followed by other recitations of boys and girls and a skit called Christmas every day in the year enacted by several children. Other program fea tures Included an accordian solo by Tommy Freeman and two readings by Mrs. Wash ington and Mrs. Lewellyn. The final number was a tab leau of the manger scene with the Grange choir singing "Silent Night." All children in the hall were called to the stage by Mrs. Ray Wheeler who led them in singing until Santa arrived and distributed gifts, popcorn balls and apples.

PAT STRAUBE Receives First Award Mystery Shopper Gives Two Awards To Sales People Two $5 cash awards were presented to sales people in downtown Medford last week by the mystery shopper when thoy offered to validate the off-street parking ticket, ac cording to Park and Shop of ficials. Validations is a customer courtesy which seemed to Have been forgotten by many downtown clerks last week, perhaps due to the Christmas shopping rush, according to the mystery shopper reports. Several Park and Shop tickets were chewed on by the mystery shopper at cash registers, but ticket valida tions were not offered. In one case, an individual knowing the ' identity of the mystery shopper engaged in conversa tion during the -purchase. Even then, the broad hints cast during the conversation failed to result in validation on the part of the clerk. Sixteen Stores Checked Sixteen stores were checked in the downtown Medford area hist week, but only two awards were given. The first winner was Mrs. Pat Straube o! the Toy House who offered validation early in the week during the shopper's rounds The second winner was Mrs. Ruby Iloxie of Central Rexall Drug. This award was pre sented toward the latter part of the week. "Whoever selects the mys tery shopper," said one of the award winners, "picked cour teous people. During the rush period of Christmas shopping and the frantic activity con nected with it, I found it a real pleasure to wait on such a pleasant and courteous cus tomer as the mystery shop per. The mystery shopper, ac cording to Park and Shop of ficials, has increased valida tions considerably. Prelimin ary reports show that use of the Park and Shop lots in the downtown area are well above that of the Christmas shop ping period of one year ago. It is planned that the mys tery shopper will continue checking the dowutown area throughout the holiday sea- DlSTItfCT COURT Lawrence T.

Wha: a Kick for Elf Owl By a Grasshopper, That Is He could hardly help feel ing humiliated; such a discon certing thing had never hap pened to him before. The embarrassed one was a tiny elf owl, whose little, heavily featured body was barely larger than a man's thumb and who was madly shaken by the most ridiculous adversary. The poor little owl had been solidly kicked in the face by a grasshopper, and his little wife, just emerging from the hole in the cactus pad, had watched the entire performance. He had eaten grasshoppers all his life. He had consumed thousands of them; they were one of his favorite insects. Mrs. Elf Owl liked them as well, and she, too, was an ex pert at capturing and eating them. Pounced Upon Whenever a hopper hap pened on the desert's sandy floor and was observed by either of the owls, it was im mediately pounced upon and eaten. Mr. Elf Owl, on this, his most humiliating day, had swooped down and grabbed the big grasshopper right in the middle, just the way he always had, and like always, he closed down with his hook ed bill. But this time he had made a slight error in selecting his grip; it was either too far for ward or too far back, or per haps the hopper was faced the wrong way, or perhaps the owl didn't bite down quite soon enough. Anyway, an instant after he grabbed the grasshopper, he received the kick in his face right at the base of his bill. The big hopper evidently had one powerful rear leg cocked at the time, and when he felt the pressure of the bird's bill he let loose with all the power of his leg. It was a staggering kick and it knocked the owl off his feet, rolled him in the sand. Name Change Is Suggested for Firm The board of directors of (he Crater Lake National Park company have proposed that the name of the company be changed to Crater Lake Lodge, Inc. A special meeting of stock holders has been scheduled Jan. -10 in Portland to vote on the proposed name change. The meeting will start at 2:30 p.m. in the Pacific building.

Seaside, was killed late Thursday night after his car apparently went out of control and struck a power pole here. Pauline Wakeman, also of Seaside, was hospitalized with serious, but not critical inju ries. The death brought Oregon's 1980 traffic death toll to 448 and was the 25th traffic fa tality of the month. LIGHT ACTIVITY NOTED ! Portland -IUPI)- Crow's Lurn-j ber Market News Service to-! day reported light activity last week in both lumber and plywood, although prices in a few key items showed grad ual improvement.

Little Elf Owl, his feathers ruffled and his eyes full of sand, was half dazed and completely disorganized. Perhaps he had become careless. A long and thus far pleasant experience with grasshopper catching had giv en him a sense of perfection. And, too, perhaps the elf owls feel as big as their larger cousins- forgetting entirely the fact that they are the very smallest of all the owl clan. No wonder, with a physique like theirs they could be badly shook up by being kicked in the face by a grasshopper.
