CHE was a woman of great courage, great stam-

wealthy family, and married to one of the world's
most famous men, life was not all tinsel and gold
for her.
She had many handicaps and trials to over
come. Overcome them she did, and thereby set
a standard and provided an inspiration to mil
lions the world over.
Above all she was an individual in her own
right, and though she never detracted from the
eminence of her husband, she was indomitable
in her own fields of interest.
Despite her inner steel, she was gentle and
courteous and charitable.

Home Rule in Lane County
County home rule charters were approved in
two Oregon counties Tuesday Lane and Wash
ington and were defeated in two others Tilla
mook and Hood River.
The Lane county charter was essentially more
conservative than the one voted down in Jackson
county, in that it did not abolish all elective of
fices other than the county board of commission
ers. It would overhaul some administrative func
tions and, most important, give the county new
lawmaking powers.
It will become effective Jan. 3, although most
of the changes will not have to be made for a
year. It was not overwhelmingly approved, al
though the margin was large enough to assure
its acceptance by the public.
"""OUNTY Commissioner Kenneth Nielsen, com-
menting about the new charter, remarked :
"At the present time, my best general com
ment will be that we should go slow in making
changes.
His advice is probably
rule charter committee in
ably on safe ground in writing an essentially con
servative charter. Voters
changes, and we would
five of seven charters so
defeated.
DASSAGE of home rule charters in Lane and
Washington counties may stimulate other
counties to make the attempt. But the lessons
learned so far presumably will be observed
namely that changes in county government should
be on slow bell.
Once home rule is approved, of course, the
loor is open to additional gradual changes, as
they become necessary, by way of a vote of the
people. This is not possible without home rule.
While there is, of course, no rush, it might
e appropriate to consider reactivation of the
Jackson county home
or the appointment of a new one, if for no other
purpose than to study the success or failure of the
charters in Lane and Washington counties.
We have always believed that the logic be
hind being able to control our own governmental
destinies, at the local level, sooner or later will
become evident, and that the asinine scare stories
of "Communist plot" about homo rule will even
tually be made to look as silly as they are by
home rule's success elsewhere. E. A.

Who Will Take Grandma?
To the Editor:
Who will take grandma, who
will it be?
All of us want her - I'm sure
you'll agree.
Let's call a meeting - let's
gather the clan.
Let's get it settled as soon as
we can.
In such a big family there's
certainly one
Willing to give her a place
in the sun.
Strange how we thought that
she'd never wear out,
But see how she walks, it's
arthritis no doubt.
Her eyesight is faded - her
memory's dim.
She's apt to insist on the
silliest whim.
When people get older they
become such a care.
She must have a home - but
the question is where?
Remember the days when she
used to be spry,
Baked her own cookies and
made her own pie,
Helped us with lessons, and
tended our seams,
Kissed away troubles and
mended our dreams?
Wonderful grandma - we all
loved her so
Isn't it dreadful - she's no
place to go?
One little corner
is all she
would need,
A shoulder to cry on
Bible to read,
A chair by the window
her
with
sun coming through.
Some pretty spring flowers
still covered with dew.
Who'll warm her with love
so she won't mind the cold.
Oh, who will take grandma,
now that she's old?
What? Nobody wants her, oh,
yes, there is one
Willing to give her a place
in the sun.
Where she won't have to
worry or wonder or doubt,
And she won't be our problem
to bother about.
Pretty soon now, God will
give her a bed.
But who'll dry our tears when
when dear grandma is dead?

that James Meredith would
care to share any proximity
with the substandard human
beings and conditions that pre
vail in such ludicrous institu
tions as Ol' Miss.
This is the point: Meredith
is performing a highly dis
tasteful but heroic act. He is
attempting to make the world
a better place for his chil
dren and grandchildren, prob
ably without much hope that
it will ever improve in his
time. He is helping to estab
lish, finally, whether a 90-year-old
law has any teeth

are establishing for all of us
whether democratic institu

real and worth fighting for.
While we whites have dal
lied at destroying our prej

has been creating a few of his

As this is written, the votes
are still being counted - by
mental arithmetic, on fing
ers, with adding machines,
and with ultra-modern robots
that not only add up the fig
ures but draw the conclusions
as to what happened.
Intriguing thought after
watching the thinking ma
chines in action: Maybe the
time will come when we won't
have to hold elections at all
just ask tne robots what
would happen if an election
WERE held and call it a day.
That would save a fabulous
amount of time and energy
and money. (Maybe we could
use the money thus saved to
pay off the national debt.)

-as reported by the robots:
Hitherto the Democrats
have been strong in the big
cities and weaker out in the

be changing. The Republi
cans, they say, seem to have
made their big gains in the
cities, and the Democrats did
better than usual out in the
rural districts.
'FAKE it or leave it. If true,
it would provide encour
agement for the GOP. The
rural vote is a declining in

Increase Needed
To Balance Crops
Washington - IUPII - An Eco
nomic Research Service study
shows that if land retirement
programs are to continue to
be a principal means of bring
ing crop production into bal
ance with demand, large acre
ages will need to be retired.
ERS, a branch of the Ag
riculture department, gave
this look into the future in a
study of the economic effects
of acreage control programs
in the 1950s.
ERS estimates that if farm
ers harvest about 291 million
acres of crops in 1D65, their
production will be in close
balance with demand at rea
sonable prices.
If production is kept down
to 291 million acres in 1965,
the government will need a
substantial land retirement
program, amounting probably
to 45 to 50 million acres. This
is equal to the combined 19110
harvested acreage of Illinois,
Indiana, Ohio, and Colorado.
It is about equal to land held
out of production this year.
Available in 1965
Crop land now out of pro
duction includes about 30 mil
lion acres of feed grains and
11.5 million acres of wheat.
Much of this land, along with
some 11.5 million acres to be
released from the conserva
tion reserve in less than three
years, will he available for
crop production in 1965.
Land retirement problems
will increase after 1965. Be

16 million acres will be com

reserve. Much of this land will

ADAM GIMBEL tells about a man who went to a clothing
store to buy a suit, and was immediately asked his
name, address, family history, favorite pastimes, political
affiliation, and his wife s
maiden name.
"Why all these ques
tions?" he demanded. "I
only want to buy a suit."
"Ah, rny friend," said the
salesman silkily. "Before
we sell you a suit here,
we make sure that it fits
your personality and po
sition in life. We send to
Australia for the proper
blend of wool for you.
From France we import
just the right lining, from
Scotland the buttons you
should have. Then five tailors in our shop make it fit you
to perfection, regardless of the fittings that may prove
necessary."
"Shucks," said the customer. "I need this suit to be mar
ried in tomorrow morning."
"Stop worrying," said the salesman. "You'll have it."
Thrown over by the damsel he had wooed and showered with
gifts for six months, a young jeweler got rid of just a bit of
his frustration by sneering, "The only thing a bikini does for
that girl is show her appendicitis scar!"
"TV cameras," frets Kitty Carlisle, "seem to add i pounds to:

They will point out that

They will see clearly (and how

act of treason toward God and

They will comprehend
the piercing truth as an

that our species is indissol

national origin, nor reli

conviction, can divide man
from man in any essential
way.
These distinctions will, af
ter the Big Bang, seem as
trivial and irrelevant as the
differences in height or
weight or color of eye or
pattern of fingerprint.
And they will teach their
children if there are still
children who are teachable
that it was not the com

last war. nor the fascists
who "started" the one be
