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!"

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 Family Council
Cdllur'i not: The Family Council Dliltl of a Judge, a
prorhlatrtst, three clernmrn. three editors mid a women's editor.
t:ach artlrl la a summary ol a family dlsa.resnient presented to ths
Council. 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.
