(UPI Telepholo) Small Worlds Around Us By Lynn M. Watkins (Register and Tribune syndicate, 1961) Do You Know Your Oats? There are at least a hun dred varieties of oats under cultivation throughout the temperate sections of t h e earth. There at lenst two or three wild varieties in the U. S. alone. Probably all the known kinds of oats are de scended from some wild va riety that originated in Asia. The grain was carried from there to other locations until today it is an important cere al crop, furnishing valuable food elements to man and animal. In fact, so valuable Is this grain to the feeding of horses, that many common expres sions have been coined to liken the actions of a lively poison to a horse that has been fed a regular diet of these seeds. One of the most popular is "he was feeling his oats.' And there is a good reason for this expression. It was actually discovered that a horse could do more work if a part of its food was a daily feeding of oats. And the horse liked oats so well that the farmer always fed the hay first, and used the oats much the same as the housewife saves the dessert for the last, knowing that if a choice was to bo made the dessert might be eaten first, leaving t h e main course. Oats, the seed of a valuable grass, gives strength to the liorse, but docs not add great ly to Its weight. Oat-fed horses perspire less than non-oat-cat-Ing horses, are more tolerant to hot weather, and can do more work. Giving oats regularly to the plow horses In the yesteryear of rural America was just about equivalent to adding high octane fuel to today's motor driven farm tractor. The farmer himself, guid ing the learn round and round the field, watching the rich loam roll away from the plow share, also gained strength and energy from a "feeding of oats" at his own breakfast. Oatmeal and rolled oats have an important part to play In the dietary habits of human beings of many races. The old-time farmer always ate this cereal, especially dur ing the colder months of the year, claiming it was a "hearty breakfast; one that would stick to his ribs" dur ing the long interval between breakfast and his noon din ner. Even today we might say that if you 'know your oats' you eat your oats. 15 Influenza Cases Reported in County Fifteen cases of Influenza and four cases of infectious mononucleosis were reported to the Jackson county health department last week, accord ing to Dr. A.

Champlln, said Saturday. These are reduced visibil ity, inadequate traction and hidden ice. To spot danger requires proper attention on the part of the driver, and proper use of vital equipment such as windshield wipers, headlights, defroster, and tire chains. Rubber in windshield wip er blades should be live not dead, Champlin added. Headlights must be up to par and properly adjusted. They should be used in day light when visibility Is re duced by bad weather, Cham plin said. Research has consistently pointed up that while snow tires are somewhat better than regular tires on winter sur faces, they do not equal or replace tire chains for severe conditions. The chief also warned driv ers to anticipate ice in shel tered areas, on bridges under COURT HELD 3 a public service oy me COLLEGE of LAW WILLAMETTE UNIVERSITY Host's Dutiei Defined By Court One day Mary and her hus band John were invited by the Browns to join them in a pic nic. So Mary and John drove to the Brown residence and helped them with last minute details prior to enjoying an outdoor picnic together. Mary had to use the lavatory and Mrs. Brown said, "Use the one back here." The lavatory in dicated by Mrs. Brown was near the kitchen at the rear of the house and could only be reached by going into a utility room and then into the lava tory. Off the kitchen, in the direction of the utility room, were two doorways, one open ing to the utility room and the viaducts on the inside of some curves and at the foot of some hills, even when other areas are bare. other to the basement stairs. Mary started for the lavatory, misakenly opened the door to the basement, fell down the stairs and suffered fatal in juries. John sued the Browns, who, it developed, were aware that another person had fallen down these same stairs pre viously. THE COURT HELD: Judg ment for the Browns. The su preme court of the state to which the case was appealed, affirmed the judgment for the defendant and argued that the duties owed a social guest in his home by a host are (1) not to willfully, wantonly or in tentionally injure the guest, (2) not to injure the guest through active or affirmative negligent action, and (3) to warn a guest of any pitfall or trap from which the guest could not avoid Injury by rea sonable care and skill. The court further held that general knowledge informs all reasonable minds that a great many houses are constructed so that there are rooms on different, grade levels; that these different levels are reached by stairways which have doors closing off these stair areas. Reasonable care would require a guest upon opening any door to investi gate before stepping across the threshold. This Willamette Law School column presents general legal principles. Slight changes of facts may change the outcome of similar cases. Richards Seeks Hike In Education Budget Corvallis -IUPI)- Chancellor John R.
