DECEMBER 12. 1962 Try and Stop Me -By BENNETT CERF- A MANDA'S NEW boy friend drew up to her doorstep in - a slick new foreign sports car, and while waiting for Amanda to put in an appearance, treated her pa to a few of his views and sentiments. Pa, very definitely unim pressed, told his daughter the next morning, "That new young man of yours is a pompous pinhead. What does he do for a living, anyhow?" Amanda explained loft ily, "He inherits." The British medical jour nal, Lancet, offers this re ' Titing of Kipling's "If:" "If you can fill the unfor giving minute with sixty seconds' worth of distance run, you'll have the world and everything that's in it and a cor onary before you're fifty-one." A sad-eyed guest at a Catskill resort confided to an intimate. "My wife had a disconcerting dream last' night. She dreamed he had married a multimillionaire." "You're lucky," sighed the Intimate. "My wife dreams that in the daytime."- Mourns Robert Fitch: "All day I drink It black and strong. All night I lie awake. More than I need a friend or song, I need a coffee brake!" C 1962. by Bennett Cert. Distributed by Kinr. Features Syndicate Cost of Replacing State Ward Labor Said 518.2 Million Salem-IOT-The cost of re placing inmate, patient and slate ward labor would be more than S18.2 million a biennium, secretary of state Howell Appling Jr. announced Tuesday. The estimate was prepared by the State Board of Control at the request of Appling and Stale Treasurer Howard C. Belton. The issue was born when Gov. Mark Hatfield was out voted by Appling and Belton on use of inmates in construc tion of the women's prison here. Undue Competition Hatfield agreed with AFL ClO spokesmen that use of prison labor amounted to undue competition with free labor. Organized labor has filed a suit seckinE to prevent the use of inmate labor on the new facility. Hatfield, Appling and Bcl Inn make up the Stale Board of Control, which operates slate institulinns. Appling and Bolton claim if labors' suit is successful, the stale could be prevented from using all institutional wards in performing work. They then asked Board of Control Secretary J. N. Peet lo contact all state institu tions to determine what the added cost to the state would be if use of prison labor and other state wards was elimi nated. 763 New Workers Peet's study indicated It would be necessary to hire 763 new employees at the prison, it a cost of $6,383,730 a biennium. Oregon State Hospital would need 602 more employees, at a cost of $4, 055.605. Other agencies would have to employ varying numbers of workers to handle jobs now done by inmates. Peet's survey showed a total of 2,505 employees would be required to carry on the services now done by wards. He estimated the total cost at $18,238,655.

The Coum-il deals with problems, major and minor, encountered bv guidance counselors snd social workers. Edited by by Airs. Alma Penny (Copyright be neosrl Features Corp.l Mrt. H. K. - I want her out of the house immediately. Sylvia K. - That's cruel. Let's all move away. Mrs. H. K. - My 16-year-old daughter had pimples on her face. Some wretch told her that the pimples would go away if she stimulated her hormones by necking and pel ting. Well, she followed this horrible advice and now she still has the pimples, but in addition she's pregnant. We are respectable people. I have nowhere to turn. I can't hide this disgrace the way rich people do. I want her to report this to the wel fare people and be taken away until it's over. But her 19-year-old sister wants to fig ure out some way to give Claire a choice in the matter. Sylvia K. - My poor sister! This is a terrible time for her. All she hears is get out. What happened was unfortunate. It can't be undone. But it need not mean the end of every thing for her. I know my mother is beside herself with shame. But she's a mother and she just can't yell get out. She never sat down to figure out where Claire can go, besides to an institution or a jail. My idea is for all of us to move. In a new neighborhood we could say Claire's husband is in the Army overseas. That way my sister could even keep the child if she wishes. The Council: We agree with the mother's long-term solu tion of this tragic snarl, but we endorse the daughter's softer approach. Keeping the baby would be inhumane. But keeping the affection of this miserable girl should matter to her mother as well as her sister. The finger of blame had best be sat on here, while the helping-hand takes over. Who knows but that more concern, more awareness, more warmth toward Claire might have improved communica tion between her and her fam ily. She might have been wafted over to a doctor's of fice in time to get responsible advice and treatment for her acne, rather than being left to agonize over it alone. She was easy prey for the mischief maker who advanced the sure "cure." But all is not lost. Some how there's a balance in (lie world, of married people who can't have babies but want them passionately, as against unmarried people who can have them but shouldn't. Claire's baby can be offered to a childless couple, bright ening its own and their lives from the day of its birth. Meanwhile, both public and private agencies offer quiet help. The Salvation Army, for example, has a Family Service Bureau which is noted for its understanding help in these situations. Each case is treat ed differently, with the hu man factors in mind. In Scars dale, N Y. (and Claire is a New Yorker) the Junior League has as one of its main projects, the finding of homes for unwed mothers, 15 to 18 years old, where they are of fered "sympathetic refuge during the difficult waiting period prior to entering ma ternity shelters." In Miami, agencies place girls like Claire In households which shield them as "mother's helpers" in exchange for light duties. And, of course, the county welfare arm has its own procedures for seeing girls through confinement in conspicuously, and arranging for the adoption of babies into good homes. No need to move, Sylvia. Your mother and Claire can receive gentle advice on where the girl may be shelter ed and how best to heal her many wounds. By heeding it, j life may yet be beautiful for your family. L. L.
