Mrs. I. L.-Nlna is the third
of our four children. She's 12
and attends junior high. Late
ly whenever there's a racket
in . the house you can bet
Nina's in the middle of it,
I still 1 can't be sure how
. these, ruckuses start, . 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
' . Strangely,' she gets along
fine with Timmie, her '8-year-,
old brother. But with the oth
' ers and with me, she's a holy
terror.' i ' r
' Nina L.-My mother only
sees what I do. She's always
looking' the iDther 'way when
Bobby teases me, or Eleanor
wears my chunky sweater
without asking me.
(Everything would be all
right if I had a room for my
self and locks for, all the
doors and bureau drawers. The
way things are now, I have no
privacy at all, I wouldn't dare
wear Eleanor's things or use
her typewriter or anything,
unless. I , asked her-first and
she gave me permission. But
she .takes .French leave with
anything of mine, even a
niokel pack of. tissues. in my
coat-pocket.. ' ; !

room whenever I was out, but
a few days ago I caught htm

my dest. I have some very
personal: things there that he
shouldn't know about. They're
none of his business.
Life Insurance Money Being Used for Improvement of Cities
By HENHY J. BECHTOLD
' UPI Financial Editor
New York -IIIPII- Life in
surance policyholders will be
glad to know their money is
being used for
good
- im

dential .and

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.

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

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.

sister, and even her diary with
her brother.
