The maples were planted on the west side of the street several years ago when the old trees there were removed. The elms had buckled the sidewalk and gutter along the block so that stagnant water in the gutter made the area objectionable, especially dur ing hot weather. The scanlon maples will be paid for and planted by the school, it was noted.

(Copyrlshi by General reaturei Corp.) Richard K. - AC middle age I have no savings due to her recklessness. Stana K. - Why worry about the future? With the bomb, there won't be any. . Richard K. - I'm 58 years old, married 28 years, and we haven't put away a dime. With my compulsory retire ment looming ahead in a few years, I see no chance to pile up a little nest egg between now and then, st the rate my wife goes through my pay check. She spends it as fast as I make it. I've tried to impress Seena with the fact that my earning capacity is limited and that if we want to maintain a re spectable standard of living after my retirement, we ought to have a reserve fund to dip into. Pension, Social Security and other odds and ends of in come still won't add up to what we'll need. For years I've been plan ning to concentrate on a sav ings account. Suddenly I real ize there aren't many years left and I wish my wife real ized it, too. e Seena K. - I'm not worried about the future. I know peo ple who spend their whole life preparing for the future and never reach it. Meanwhile they have no present or past. They deprive themselves of everything but bare essen tials. They never go any where, never enjoy the latest inventions or the new models of the old ones. They don't avail themselves of the short cuts and comforts which money can buy. As a result they live a starved life from beginning to end. I don't know how things will end. I'm willing to lake my chances. If the bomb gels loose, whatever happens to others will happen to Dick and me, too. It's not In my control.

If we have to penny-pinch later, it's better than doing it now. Old rocking chairs don't cost too much. But we're not ready for them yet. The Council: All would be well, Seena, if life waited for you to call, "Ready!" as in a game of hide-and-seek. It s fine to retire to a rocking chair when you're ready. Sad ness enters the picture when you're forced to retrench and backtrack long before you want to, forced by circum stances beyond your control such as illness or arbitrary laws, or circumstances within your control . ..ch as over spending! Richard is right to be anxious and disma. ed. Given the financial choice, as you seem to be, between spending to the hilt and spending with restraint, you prefer the orgiastic route to disaster. Your only answer is the old hedonisitc one of the ancient Greeks as they spin- ned to their downfall: "Eat, drink and be merry, for to morrow you die." Well, Richard refuses to be The Condemned Man. He's ap pealing the case. He asks Seena to eat, drink and save up for the tomorrow which provident, mature people pre pare for. He's aware of the anguish caused by a sudden drop in one's accustomed mode of living. Going from good to better is easier than from good to bad, and it s bet ter for one's health. Richard is merely asking Seena to help him settle upon a scale of liv ing they can afford to become accustomed to for the rest of their lives - planned on a No- Bomb basis. The Federal Council on Ag ing urges couples to start planning for retirement in their mid-40's. For couples like the K.'s, living up to and j beyond their income, there's I a sharp warning: "Retrench!" j Such couples, say this agen cy, face a rude awakening. Usually retirement brings a I drop in income. Without sav ings to take up the slack left i from Social Security and pension income, they must in stitute drastic changes in their standards of living. Any emer- gency brings them to the hu miliation of begging or bor rowing. As a start, Seena and Dick might divert the funds intend ed for that expensive vaca tion and purchase "catastro phe insurance," the non-can-cellatle major medical health protection to cover costly ill nesses. This would remove the nightmare of being wiped out overnight by one form of mis fortune. This will be a vaca tion from worry, even though it be spent at a beach close to home. (Copyright 1962. General Features, Corp.) m m Small Worlds Around Us By LYNN M. WATKINS (Raiiitei and Tribune Syndicate 1962) Meat The Bird With The Big Feet The Gallinule The inowshoe rabbit walks or runs on soft anow without sinking in it because of the size of its feet; feet that are generously supplied with tufts of long hair, preventing the feet from sinking even when the sr.ow is soft and deep. Stiff hairs in between the pads of the polar bear's feet, prevent slippage on slippery ice. Many over species of ani mals are cleverly equipped to cope with specific conditions, but the hen-like, acquatic bird called the gallinule, can't grow hair on its feet, so it developed extra long toes; big feet in fact, to equip it to exist in an environment that requires a highly specialized foot. The toes of this pretty aquatic character are actually ridiculous: the reason how ever, becomes obvious when we watch the bird walk calm ly over lilypads. Skips Along The plate-like leaves of the pond lily float flatly on the sluggish waters of a pond or a lake. The bird can skip along stepping from one lily leaf to another, hardly wetr ting its feet. Standing on a plate-like leaf, with its elongated toes firmly planted, the bird reach es over, grabs the far side of a leaf and pulls it toward itself, then, placing one big foot on the folded, leaf, it picks off the small snails and aquatic worms that are cling ing to the underside. In spite of its peculiar name, the gallinule is a little beauty. Its feathers are green and as iridescent as a par rot's, shining in the sun like burnished metal. On the top of the head it wears a little red cap. The tail is perky, sticking almost straight up. When the bird moves, it bows gracefully down, and runs with the head close to the lily pads, or the water. The peculiar name gallinule is close to the scientifc classi fication, for this colorful little character of the ponds, lakes, and streams is so hen-like that i it is classed as a gallinaceous bird, the word pertaining to poultry. However, there is no hint of domesticity in the ranks of the gallinules; actually they are shy and very secretive, be longing to a class of birds of which the rail is a member. They come by their shyness naturally. Often the observer, unless he is near expert in bird indentification, will mis take the gallinule for a coot, or a rail; the differences in the birds is really not great. The common gallinule is us ually called the Florida gal linule, but in spite of the name they are found pretty generally throughout most of the United States. Never, how ever, do they get very far away from a marshy swamp land, or near the edges of small lakes or ponds. Even so, the gallinule avoids swimming except when driven into the water; it would rather sneak along in the marsh grass at the nond edge, or walk along on pond lily leaves, and it has the feet to make such a trick easily possible. Two Fires Reported in Talent Wednesday Two fires were set in the Talent area Wednesday about noon by a train. One was confined to the railroad along old Pacific highway, and the other burn ed approximately one acre of grass on property belonging to Fred E. Carpenter, accord ing to Talent Fire Chief Ralph Conner. ' The Talent fire department was assisted by a crew from the Oregon department of forestry, Conner said.

And if you run out of gas, it's easy to push. See? A Volkswagen is just the right size 19 push to the side ol the road. Actually, it's surprising that VW owners don't run out ol gas more often. When you get around 32 m.p.g. you spend so little time in gas stations, there are almost no reminders. You'll probably never need oil between changes. You'll never need water or anti.freeze because the engine is air-cooled. There are so few things that bring you to a gas ; station, that the cor has a gas gauge this year to help you remember. Now all you have to do is .' remember to look at it. MORSE MOTORS 6th and Ivy Call 772-7155 Court Records over. OPEN MM TILL 7 00 JUSTICE COURT Ashlind District Lawrence E Richardson, load.
