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.

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.

'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.
He is being accompanied by
his son, Bourke, profession
ally known as "Scraps, The
Musical Clown."
They are here at the invi
tation of the Jacksonville
Lions club.
Colvig will head a silver
cornet b?nd made up of valley
residents, many who have
known the entertainer since
he lived here. In charge of
organizing the 12-piece silver
cornet band are Fred Strang
and Chester Wendt of Med-
ford, and George Wendt of
Jacksonville.
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.
In Other Shows
Just as Colvig eventually
rode in the Jacksonville Sil
ver Comet bandwagon, he

playing four different tunes
at the same time.
His son, Bourke Colvig, will
direct the specialty numbers.
Also a clarinetist, he was as

He has studied at the Los
