Each article U a summary of a family disagreement presented to the Council. The Council deals with problems, major and minor, encountered bv guidance counselors and social workers. Edited by by Mrs. Alma Denny. (Copyright by General Features Corp.) MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON Mn, S. C. - With a nation between us, she should write more often. Florence C. W. - Some peo ple can dash olf letters easily. I can't. Mr. S. C. - On this visit East, I want to have some thing out with Flo. My hus band and 1 and the rest of our family are Californians. Our two daughters, however, are married. One lives in Iowa, the other, Flo, in New York. What I'd like to know is whether I'm right in asking Flo to write us regularly and end our worries about her. All we gel is an occasional short note. Her sister, on the other hand, writes 4-page let ters every week, with interest ing clippings and snapshots enclosed. We circulate them, and they are treasured by all of us at home. Imagine how distracted we were when Flo mentioned that one of her children was run ning a fever, and then-complete silence for a month! Now I hear the baby was all right the next day. Long-dis tance phones cost too mucn so Flo should write us every week at least, like her sister Florence C. W. - How can a mother be so blind and sel fish? Doesn't she understand my problems? First of all, I have 3 small children and no help. Second, letter writing has always come very hard to me. I'm not glib and facile like my sister. She can roll on, saying whatever pops off the top of her head. 1 practically chisel out each word and sweat hard over each line. I just never can get relaxed enough to dush off an easy note, the way some people do. But, most Important, Moth er knows I write to her as often as she writes me. I man age to answer each letter and postcard. Why doesn't she write more often? She has more time for writing than 1. And the worst of the matter is, even after I've squeezed out a letter, Mother complains about me to the relatives and criticizes me. I do my very best. The Council: To paraphrase Sir Walter Scott's lines about the "tangled web," we'd say, Oh what emotions start to flare, when mothers venture to compare! Mrs. C. cannot ex pect Flo to ape her sister. Each has her own forte, and Flo's isn't pulling prn to pa per for small talk. The other daughter's facility at this makes Flo's small output look like dereliction of duty. But actually, isn't she keeping her mother as well informed on major matters as Is her' Iowa sister? All she's skipping is what the editors call "filler," and it's omissible. So after coaxing Mrs. C. to be grateful for the painfully carved epistles she does re ceive from Hew York, and for not having two carbon-copy daughters but rather two indi viduals who are true to her in their fashion, we turn to Flor ence to whom letter-writing is such a bogey. Why? Were you scared by an English teacher? Letter-writing should be as easy as conversing. Maybe Florence gets stage fright at the thought of her letters being passed around the family. That particular block can be removed by trusting to Mrs. C.'s judgment or by flat prohibition. Legally, a letter remains the property of the writer, not the reap icnt. With Mrs. C. Less demand ing and less reproachful, per- naps Florence can loosen up more when she takes pen in hand and begin to enjoy the release which comes with sharing the thoughts of the moment with a distant loved one. Here, then are some pointers which may make it easier for Florence to "dasn off" a communique, so that doing so adds up to a refresh Ing Interlude Instead of a chore. What to say? Nothing's too trivial. Deathless prose is not expected. Jot down what you re wearing, doing, eating. Imagination, at the other end, fills in. Remember it's the fact of your taking the pains to write, more than what you write, that counts. Just be a sharer. If you've read a story, seen a movie, met a friend-give. Interestingly enough, the U. S. Post Office Dept. sets aside a National Letter-Writing Week In October each year to encourage the ex change of personal letters. This year the slogan, we hear, will be "Keep F.-imds Near With Letters." With your mother so far away, Flo, a four-cent stamp becomes your magic carpel.

It had an electrifying effect, "Imagine that!" people ex claimed. "The Russians have a talking eagle." There were, however, some Wild Plum Crop Said Frozen Out in Spring The wild plum crop in the Klamath Falls and Lakeview areas was frozen out during early spring frosts, the Jack son county extension service reported this morning.

The language gap wai fur ther widened thii month when cosmonauts Pavel Popovich and Andrian Nik olayev went aloft for their spectacular tandem flight. "I am golden eagle calling falcon," Popovich prattled in the first communication ever established between two space vehicles. "I am falcon calling golden eagle," Nikolayev chattered. It will be a long time before we have two astronauts who can top that exchange. Our guys seem wedded to "A-OK" and other such nonornithql ogical terms. I might never have known the reason for the prosaic na ture of our space talk had t not dropped by the Smithson ian Institution this week to witness a ceremony honoring Elmo Neale Pickerill, It was Pickerill who achieved the first two-way radio contact between an airplane end the earth. He did this on Aug. 4, 1910, while flying over Long Is land in a machine built by the Wright brothers. To commemorate the event, a milestone in the advance ment of both aviation and communications, a bronze bust of Pickerill, now 77 and living in Mineola, N.Y., was installed in the Smithsonian's National Air museum. In words that were destined to live in history, Pickerill sent the following message: "Can you hear my signals?" "Back from the ground came the fateful reply: "Your sig nals are loud and clear." Obviously, this set the pat tern that is still being observ ed today. If Pickereill had had the foresight to proclaim that "I am robin redbreast," or "I am ring-necked swallow," things might now be different. Small Worlds Around Us By LYNN M. WATKINS (Register and Tribur.a Syndicate 19621 presence in a boat hull i: sel dom noticed, as the little monsters are careful not to break through the outer sur face. They are unpaying, uninvited guests; passengers that exact a heavy toll. "POOR VH5TK TRASH" See how tHy live . Festival Plays Tonight: "Henry IV, Part II." Saturday: "As You Like II." Sunday: "Coriolanus." Curtain lime: 8:30 p.m. This Mollutk Means Trouble for Boat Owners Very few mollusks are ac tually destructive, but there is one glaring exception. This one has caused embarrassment and much expense to the owners of wooden boats which have occasionally suf fered from the destructive ness of the woodboring "ship worm" the teredo. Although usually called a worm, this creature is really a mollusk, closely related to the clam, oyster and scallop. The teredo's desire for a home is the reason for its de structiveness. He does not live on the wood of the boat's planking like the land ter mite, but makes holes in the planking for burrows in which to live. There are many boats, fish ing boats especially, that leave their docks with many more passengers aboard than the captain or the mate sus pect; non-paying passengers. These little living augers may be in considerable num bers, yet their presence is never suspected. And the little monsters are busy boring night and day, whether the boat is in motion or not. Given time they will bring about a complete col lapse of the craft, or they will so weaken the piling of a pier or a bridge under-pinning that it will tumble into the sea. To combat the damage done by ship-worms, many devices have been used; copper-base paint somewhat discourages the mollusk, making the wood unattractive as a home. Repeated paintings are neces sary as the salt water is con stantly at work weakening the applied paint. Teak wood seems to be about the only wood the ship worm refuses to work in. The reason for this aversion is not too well understood, but the cost of teak wood would pre- Births GRIFFIN - To Mr. and Mrs. Sid, Happy Camp, Aug. 18, 1962, a girl, (no weight given), at Happy Camp. elude it being very widely used. The small mollusk known as the "ship-worm" enters the wood through a hole no larger than a pinpoint. As soon as it enters, it begins gnawing at the wood, making a roomy cavity. As he continues to grow, he enlarges the tunnel, al ways eating lengthwise of the wood, following the line of least resistance by following the grain. If he encounters a knot or a bolt or even another worm, he turns aside, but con tinues eating and growing. He has a long, cylindrical almost transparent gelatin like body, with a tiny pair of shell-like valves on the head. The stream of sea water entering the opening the mol lusk made carries the wood (fust out, and brings in what food he needs. Within the ship-worm's body is a long, U-shaped tube that captures the microscopic animal and plant food the teredo will assimulate. For this reason a boat in motion probably would bring in more food. The teredo has a close cou sin that has the ability of boring holes in solid rock; and is aptly called the "rock borer." The ship-worm is a fast worker and may wreck a boat in a very short time. Their Featuring . . . BROASTED CHICKEN .... at Cubby's modern, sparkling Drive-In Ret-1 taurine and New Coffee! Shop!
