Alma benny guidance eounelori (copyright by Sidney F. - He thinks noth ing of interrupting me. , ' RumU F. - Even "Hello" is an interruption to him. Sidney F. - My brother Uuss and I each have our own room at home. We live in Westchester and commute to college in New York. He's a 'junior, majoring in busi ness, and I'm a sophomore. English is my major. '. '. I want Russ to respect my 'closed door, my request for quiet. Instead he bursts in ior any trivial reason and upsets my train of thought. And when he isn't breaking in, he lets loose enough sound ef fects outside my door to de light the producer of a TV horror film. It's all his way of saying he'd like me to quit what I'm doing and chew the fat with him. In an out-of-iown college he couldn't get away with that, disrupting kids' work. How can I make him see how Mlfish he is? Russell F. - Talk about selfish. Once Sid shuts him self in his room, the rest of the family could drop dead for all he cares. Telephones and doorbells ring. Does he ever answer them? No, not even when they're for him. How does Sid think he can live with people, and still be a recluse? Either he's ap proachable and normal, or he's unapproachable and should build a wall around himself so people know. With his cranky disposition he wouldn't last long in an out-of-town college. From what I hear, the fellows tear in and out of your room, no ques tions asked. I try to get Sid to relax and act like a regular guy. Instead he hits the ceiling if 'somebody says hello. The Council: Russell should trip himself up at the threshold to Sidney's room. The "trip" is necessary while he ponders these words: An interruption is welcome or unwelcome, depending upon how engrossed one is on what he's doing, and whether the intrusion can be postponed or not. Failure to consider this is a form of cruelty. To a person wrapped in thought, a casual demand for his attention is mayhem to his progress. Phyllis Mc- Ginlcy compares what hap pens lo the way a worm slips away from a robin if he so much as opens his mouth. So, with a live hypothesis. Russell appears to be an extrovert who resents his in trovert brother. In the name of preparing him for life away from home, he harasses him more than life would, probably. In a dormitory, in an office, even in an Army camp, a man's request for privacy is often respected. We must assume that Sid ney is companionable to wards Russell at mealtime and during periods of relaxa tion. We must also assume that he is receptive to inter-. ruplions which are essential and cannot be postponed. So the objectionable interrupl tion is the one which Russell perpetrates as an attention getter for himself.

Edited by General Features Corp.) Sidney is right to resist his brother's sabotage of his studies. Creative, industrious people have had to shut them selves up in attics and dun geons, to escape those who would rather destroy what someone else is doing than use their wits to devise some thing satisfying to do them selves. Coleridge was unable to finish his greatest poem, "Kubla Khan," because of interruptions. Genius or not, however, everyone has the right to protest needless dis turbance. Drivers Reminded Of Different Laws In Other States Orcgonians traveling to other states on summer vaca tion trips should familiarize themselves with the traffic laws and regulations in those states in which they will be driving, advises the Oregon department of motor vehicles. "Since traffic laws vary from slate to state, the law abiding Oregon driver might unwittingly commit a viola tion if he's unfamiliar with another state's law," said Di rector Vern L. Hill. "There are several definite differ ences between motor vehicle laws in Oregon and some of our neighboring western states," he added. A copy of the driving regu lations for any stale can be obtained free of charge by writing to the state's motor vehicle department of tourist information service in the capital city. Copies of driving practices for Canada and Mexico are usually available at embassy offices. Auto clubs also can provide members with information on driving laws in other states. Vacationing motorists who plan to haul a boat or heavily loaded trailer, either in or out of Oregon, were also ad vised to have their headlights adjusted to compensate for the change in elevation of the front of the car due to the extra weight. Adjustments should be made with the loaded trailer or boat attach ed so proper settings for safe driving can be made. When headlights are not adjusted, heavily . loaded cars or ve hicles hauling trailers present a hazardous headlight glare to oncoming traffic, accord ing to Hill.

THIS WEEK'S SPECIAL 'PINTO' COLVIG Arrives for Jubilee 'Bozo the Clown1 Arrives for Jubilee Jacksonville - "Pinto" Col vig, former Jacksonville resi dent, whose character of "Bozo The Clown" is known to thousands, arrived Monday to appear in the Jacksonville Jubilee Aug. 4 and 5.

First Remember The band is being organized in reminiscence of the old Jacksonville Silver Cornel band which Colvig first re members in 1898 when he was six, and the players pa raded on an old bandwagon driven by six horses decorated with tassel-edged trappings and pampas grass plumes in their bridles. Two of the bandsmen Col vig recalls as "Hooksy" Helms, who rode on the back seat as the bass drummer, and "Old Fappy" Schmidt, the bandmaster, at the front, play ing an E-flal cornet, an instru ment which Colvig now also plays. The young boy, dazzled by the bandwagon's beauty and excitement o.f the band music, vowed that one day he would ride up there and later, many times he did with the Jack sonville Hometown band in Fourth of July parades, one for Bryan-for-President and many others. Colvig, often served as a mascot for Neuber's Jackson ville Goldbricks baseball team which played in Medford. Ashland, Gold Hill and olhcr valley towns.
