All, I know, is they don't wind up until I step in, and send every . one off in a separate direction, . Most of Nina's arguments are: with her sister, who's 15, and her 1,4-ycar-old brother, j They're both- in high school. I know a certain amount of wrangling is inevitable among kids, especially with sisters who share the same room But Nina can't be near the (two , older ones for more than a - half-hour without the angry shouts breaking loose.: . t ' .

BECHTOLD ' UPI Financial Editor New York -IIIPII- Life in surance policyholders will be glad to know their money is being used for good - im th e a very cause proving business, resi dential .and recreati o n a 1 facilities of America cities. 1 In the past Henry Becntold decade, life in surance companies have in vested more than $10 billion to help fight the battle against urban blight and decay. ' This huge investment has made possible new office buildings, apartments, stores, schools, hospitals, hotels, theaters, shopping centers, bowling alleys, expressways, bridges, tunnels and ' many other facilities. And many of these new structures have replaced crumbli.ng tenements and out moded commercial buildings whjch marred the beauty of downtown areas and jeopard ized health, safety and morale. Leading Investors Life insurance funds have been the most important single , source of capital for the post-war' office building boom, according to the Insti tute of Life Insurance. It is estimated that in Man hattan alone, life companies have invested about $750 mil lion In new ' office buildings the past IS years including nearly all of the' 150 or so major office structures built during this period or now under construction. Life Insurance money for city improvement comes main ly i from reserve funds set aside to. meet future obliga tions to policyholders. Earn ings from these investments help reduce the cost of insur ance to policyholders The institute noted that life companies pioneered in help ing to meet a critical housing shortage in American cities lmmcdiately: after World War II. They planned and develop ed big, modern apartment projects such as Stuyvesant Town and Peter Cooper Vil lage in New York's Gas House District, and Lake Meadows in a southside Chicago slum area. And modern apartment de velopments for all income levels continue to rise on a massive scale as a result of life companies investments, une life firm in recent years has provided nearly $50 million for a dozen different apart ment buildings throughout Chicago's northside lakefront area to house more than 4,000 families. '.,....,. The institute said that per haps the largest single resi dential mortgage loan in his tory has. revived a three-square-block area of blighted tenements and dilapidated commercial structures in his toric Greenwich Village in New York. A life company '.in vested $20 million in Wash ington Square Village which includes two modern 17-story terraced apartment buildings, a shopping area, a playground, and broad stretches of grass and gardens. 1 1 i i ii ii i i ii in 1 1 mi i in i mini iw ii i i ii ii m ii inn 1 1 ii mm i i i i i n 11 n m i in 1 1 nmii i m imiim nn i ii mm i iinim i iniwi ssimiwiiiims hmsimi Committees Are Named for SOCTFA The Council) This Is the sort nf situation for which a moth er needs eyes In back of her head, feelers on top, and ears which can hear ominous si lences, as well as screams, ' Mrs. L. comes in at the tag- end of blow-ups which she should be able to prevent, or at least mitigate., In her crude way, Nina Is i asking no more than her due- some respect for , Inviolable 'rights.. By setting the right example With each other and i with each, child, these parents may have implanted the Idea t of individual sacredness-but it takes a' lot of following-up Nevertheless, if the Ll chil dren aren't. learning the llmlts of the laws of "trespass" at home, they'll make trouble some roommates in college, camp, job, and eventually, matrimony, . ' ': " . ,. To make it easier to define the delicate line between com mon property, which must be shared, and personal belong ings, which may (but needn't be) shared, Mrs. L. must as- 1 sign space , for Nina to call her own, and both parents .must declare this "off-limits" for the rest of the family. Tills "space" may be anything from a suite to a bureau drawer, but it must be respected as private grounds. . , The average 12-year-old still clings - fast- to parents and siblings, but at the same time flexes new muscles of self, every so' often, just to air and lost them. Nina uses her "pos sessions" as the spur. And, we might predict, once the pres ent issue Is settled,- she'll find another issue with which to . ventilate her adolescent uncer- ' talntles.. S .' ' , "In most families," said Wllla Cather, the eminent American novelist, "the mere struggle to have anything of one's own, to be one's self at rail, : creates an element of strain which keeps everybody almost at the breaking point." But the' open battle for pri vate ownership, raised and (waged by. Nina. and her fam ily, is a homegrown lesson In Several area lumbermen have been appointed to stand ing committees of the South ern Oregon Conservation and Tree Farm association, accord ing to i Al Smith, Medford Corporation, president-elect of the association, , Smith noted that commit tee assignments take on added significance this year in the face of a depressed market and pressing problems facing the' lumber industry, 1 He called for concerted ac tion by the committees on In dividual projects and specifi cally challenged the members of the newly formed wood waste disposal and utilization committee to seek out avenues of greater diversification in the wood products industry . Named to committees were Darrel Davis, King Trucking, truck committee; Forrest Big ger, Burrell Lumber company, public relations; Bruce Blew, Blew Trucking, finance com mittee; Russ Hogue, Medford Corporation, rail traffic com mittee; Paul Doe, Olson-Lawyer Lumber company, wood waste disposal and utilization; Sam Taylor, Elk Lumber com pany, fire committee and R o x y radio committee and Dick Swan, Olson - Lawyer company, timber committee. Additional committee as signments will be made at the next association meeting of the lumber group scheduled for Feb. 10 in Medford. Instal lation of officers for 1081 will also be held at this meeting, according to Smith. - SP Railroad Notes Drop in Earnings Portland -IUPII- Southern Pa cific railroad's consolidated net income for 1960 amounted to, $05.4 'million, .or . $2.41 share of capital stock, it has been announced. In 1859 the railroad's earn ings were about $69.7 million, or $2.57 a share. President D. J. Russell said the drop In earnings resulted primarily from smaller reve nues as carloadings tell off af ter the first quarter of last year, reflecting declines in general business and construc tion activity. Gross revenues declined from some $690 mil lion in 1959 to about $666 mil lion last year. American democracy and citi zenship.
