Mrs. T. U. - All I ask Is that
they sit and talk with me a
little..
Charles U.,- These are busy
id'ays. There's no time for idle
chatter. .
'' -
Mrs. T. U. I'm 73, in good
jiealth, and have my own little
apartment. My three sons and
my daughter are all in homes
of their own and, of course,
the great joy of my life is
seeing them and their fam
ilies.' They're good children,
visit me regularly and fre
quently invite me to their
homes.
But there's something im
portant missing. It's patience.
They dash in, ask me how I
feel, don't even listen to my
answer, and dash out againl
1 If they'd only sit down, stay
., for tea, chat with me a while,
tell me interesting things. And
when I'm in their homes, it's
no better. They slip away for
TV. -Even the children don't
converse.,
At my age, pleasant talk is
the best treat and I'm a good
listener, .. V''
Charles U. - I'll speak for
. the four of us in answering
Mother's complaint. We're
still in the stage of life where
actions speak louder than
.words. Mother knows our
hearts are' in the right place.
-When we see she's okay, we
hurry along on our way.
Take me, for instance. I stop
up to see her every other
morning on my way to work.
-Sometimes I'm double parked,
sometimes I'm late, sometimes
I've an extra errand to per-
form,, en route.' I leave her
the paper, kiss her goodbye,
and skip. ' '
. There's more time to talk
when she comes to my home.
We discuss things at the table,
the children tell her things.
.But why is yak so essential?
It's deeds that count.
'
The Council: Mrs. U. might
pot feel so bad if she got
around more and discovered
that polite conversation is ex
tinct in many families. It's
been replaced by eloquent
"grunts!"
;, To get members of one's
family to really listen requires
the sort of attention-getting
teaser the advertising boys
use, like: "My new alligator
doesn't like bath salts!" Even
then, Charles might mumble,
"Hmmm," while wondering
jwhy his car stalled 'twice that
day.
, What Mrs. U. is asking is
'the one thing her children
jivon't give: themselves. They
will dole out some of their
time, on the run, and gifts
and postcards, from cruise
stopovers. But she might as
vell stop asking them to pull
up a chair and meditate, rem
inisce, contemplate. Why, in
that time they might be . . .
well, attending a lecture on
The Care of the Aging!
I No, she might as well settle
fpr the conscientious calls and
invitations, sans palaver. At
least she's not one of those ne
glected by children who seem
to have" lost her address.
: Unfortunately, as folks
grow older,, there are fewer
a'nd fewer people in their cir
cle who are willing to listen
to them. Mrs. U's best bet for
that would be a new circle,
such as a Senior Citizens
fgroup in her church, a neigh
borhood Golden Age Club, or
even a discussion team she
'might organize herself.
Meanwhile. Mrs. U. can ex
cuse Charles. What would she

used to chase you?" And then
some gossip about her? . . .
Charles may be trying hard to
forget Mrs. Doe, Mom!
Two Members
Introduced Into
Kiwanis Club
Thomas Reeder, attorney,
and James Obenour, represen
tative Here for General Tires,
were formally inducted as
members of Medford Kiwanis
club Wednesday at the club's
luncheon at Rogue Valley
Country club. , .
Kecognmon also was given
to Coy Watson, Cameo Cam
era television film producer,
and Ben Roeser, Ford Gum
Machine representative; They
are transfer members.
Fast president Bill Singler
conducted the induction, and
st president ' Dr. Abner
Clark presented pins to Reed
er and Obenour. 1 .
Speaker at the luncheon
was Clifford Cordy, Jackson
county horticultural agent,
who discussed the pear de
cline problem in this area and
in California and Washing
ton. Outlook for Good Crop
Cordy reported a heavy
pear bloom in the valley, and
the outlook for a good crop.
He indicated that decline may
take some toll but that re
planting will help fill the
gap. The horticulturist report
ed some frost loss in the val
ley. Loss was heavy in spots,
he indicated, but for the val
ley as a whole, the commer
cial loss was not great.
Pear decline involves loss
of vigor or death of a tree,
Cordy mentioned. It started
in this area in 1956 and 1957
and has become increasingly
worse. "
General . types of decline,
Cordy reported, are graft un
ion, involved with the root
stock and with a virus as the
suspected cause, and a type
involving fertilizer poisoning
and watering, with which a
fungus disease may be tied in.
The horticulturist said that
there is nothing that can be
done to cure pear decline, but
that measures can be taken to
circumvent it, like use of more
resistent root stock and
change in fertilizers and wa
tering systems. '
He pointed to the vulner
bility of oriental root stock,
and said that this area. has
more trouble with other types
of decline since the valley
has only some 500 acres of
trees with oriental stock.
U of 0 President
To Review Forms
Eugene OIPD Dr. William
C. Jones, acting president of
the University of Oregon,
has agreed to review rating
forms used on the campus.
Students have protested, them
by pickets and petitions.-
A student counselor, Gayle
Osburn, was fired from her
job when she objected to the
use of the forms which asked
her to rate freshman girl stu
dents on such questions as ag
gressiveness toward the op
posite sex. i
Jones said he would appoint
a committee of faculty and
students, mostly women, to
confer with Dean Donald Du
Shane and suggest improvements.
