Growing of Beard Fills Void Left
When Habit of Smoking Abandoned
By DICK WEST
Washington - (DPI) - When
I quit smoking last summer,
it left a void in my life that
peanuts, pop

U III d II U
cracxerja c K s
have been un
able to fill.
About a week
ago, however,
I finally
found a satis
factory sub-
t stitute for to
bacco. I began growing a
beard.
I don't mean that I actually
light up my chin foliage. Sev
eral persons have told me I
should burn it, but I would
never inhale whisker smoke
without a filter.
The way a beard helps is
by giving me something else
to think about, such as the al
leged wit of my friends and
associates.
I have kept a running tally
of the gibes and insults flung
at my beard and thus far the
score now stands approxi
mately as follows:
- 1,918 persons have ask
ed me if I lost my rator,
- 1,812 persons have ask
ed me if I lost an election
bet.
- 1,776 persons have ask
ed me if I am an apprentice
be&inik.
- 1,492 persons have ask
ed me if I have taken up
folk singing.
In addition, there have
been an uncounted number
of allusions to poetry, to
Registration Set
For SOC Classes
Ashland - Registration at
Southern Oregon college will
begin Wednesday, Jan. 2, Mrs.
Mabel W. Winston, registra
tor, has announced.
A S5 fee will be charged
starting Jan. 5 with an addi
tional dollar increase for each
succeeding day. The final day
classes can be added or drop
ped is Jan. 16, she said.
The dates apply also to
winter night classes which
are offered in order that those
who work during regular
hours of the day may have
the opportunity to work to
ward a degree during the eve
ning hours.
For enrolling in any sub
ject there is a $12.50 fee per
credit hour if no more than
seven credits are carried and
a minimum of S25 per course.
A study schedule of more
than seven hours requires the
$88 per term enrollment fee.
Schedules of all details
concerning both winter and
spring evening course offer
ings at the college will be
sent upon request, Mrs. Win
ston said.
Mitch Miller, to Santa Claus
and to Abe Lincoln.
The' steady outpouring of
jokes of this sort, most of
which were wearing whisk
ers themselves, made me wel
come the comment of one of
my colleagues. Even through
derogatory, it at least had a
spark of originality.
"You," he said, eyeing me
distastefully, "are giving
beards a bad name."
To all inquiries as to why
I am glowing a beard, I made
just one reply: "I need the
exercise." In a way, this is
true.
In recent years, about
the only exercise I have
gotten came from lifting
a cigarette or cigar to and
from my chops. When I
quit smoking, even that
mild form of exertion was
reduced.
It did not, however, disap
pear entirely. I found I was
not nearly as addicted to nico
tine as I was to moving my
arm up and down. ,
Long after I abandoned the
weed 1 continued, out of hab
it, to put my hand to my
mouth every few sccunds.
This gave people who were
not aware of the circum
stances the impression that I
was blowing kisses at them.
The beard has solved that
problem nicely. Now when
I involuntarily raise my hand
to my mouth I give my chin
a couple of strokes and it
looks perfectly normal.

VA Forms Must
Be Returned Soon
The Veterans Administra
tion has mailed out some two
million annual income ques
tionnaires with the Nov. 30
pension checks - a month
earlier than in previous years.
The questionnaires went to
veterans and dependents of
deceased veterans on the VA s
non-service-connected pension
rolls, and to parents of de
ceased veterans who are re
ceiving dependency and in
demnity compensation. More
than 23,000 Oregon veterans
and survivors received the
questionnaires.
The questionnaires are
punched cards which must be
filled out with the required
information and returned to
the VA before the deadline of
Jan. 31 or payments will be
suspended. If, after suspen
sion, no questionnaire is sub
mitted, the pensioner may be
required to pay back all pay
ments received in 1962.
The forms are machine
punched. The VA requests
these cards be handled with
care so they can be processed
through tabulating machines
when they are returned. They
must not be folded, trimmed
or mutilated in any manner.
Recipients are cautioned to be
sure to complete every blank
space on the card. If a ques
tion does not apply, "none"
should be written.
The card must be signed,
and then mailed to the address
in the upper righthand corner.
This address should be copied
exactly as it appears on the
card - not on the enevelope.
This earlier distribution
will permit those with fixed
incomes to return the cards at
once, while those with earn
ings or changing incomes may
still wait until they get their
W-2 forms or other informa
tion they need to know in
order to answer the questions.
Anyone needing help with
their cards should contact
the Jackson County Veterans
Service office in the court
house annex.

Gobi of Information Comes
From Coffee-Drinkeri 'Club'
In my search for informa
tion and Ideas I have discov
ered an almost inexhaustible
source of knowledge in a
place where I go frequently
for a cup of coffee. The cof
fee costs money, out tne in
formation is free.
Remarks and sage observa
tion on any subject under the
sun is given unstintingly and
in great gobs. Quite often the
information I get I can never
hope to use, but somehow or
other I have always felt that
some time it may be useful.
At least it sort of keeps me
abreast of the vernacular of
the1 vulgar and besides enter
taining me, enriches my vocabulary.
For instance, I never before
knew what "loop - legged"
meant. I'm not too sure that
I do now but it may come in
nicely some time if I want to
describe someone with a wob
bly walk.
A man ordered a dish of
rice pudding the other day;
the waitress asked him why
he ate the stuff. He never
hesitated a second, but point
ing his empty spoon at hci'
said, "You see, I've got a bad
stomach and I'll be darned
if I'll put anything good in it."
Biggest Fish
Guy on the next stool said
he had caught the biggest fish
ever brought in at the marina.
"Why," he said, "Just the
picture of it alone weighed
11 pounds."
Not even the most ardent
of the coffee-drinkers felt they
could exceed that one, so for
almost 60 seconds they all
sipped in a kind of liquid
silence.
But with that much talent
present, quietness could not
last for very long. Besides,
the fish story had been a
challenge.
The reputation of all pres
ent was at stake. The man
two scats over recalled how
fast he used to be on his feet.
"We never used a dog when
my daddy and I went rabbit
hunting," he said. "I would
run alongside the rabbit, reach
over and feel his ribs; if he
was fat enough I'd step aside
and tell dad to go ahead and
shoot."
Approving Nod
Any story had to be good
in this gathering to get more
than a one-second laugh. This
one merely received an ap
proving nod of the collective
heads. The gentleman next
to me, knowing my interest
in animals, favored me with
the next one. He said he had
visited a zoo on his day off
from work and when he got
there all the monkeys were
running around loose.
"How come?" he asked the
zoo attendant, who informed
him that "the monkeys arc
loose because it's a holiday
for them. "It's Charles Dar
win's birthday."
As I was leaving, one of
the regulars said he had dis
covered how to drive nails
without mashing his thumb
with the hammer. I should
have known better, but I ask
ed how it could be done. He
replied, "You simply hold the
hammer firmly with both
hands."
All of which probably does
not amount to anything. May
be I've been wasting my time
except for one thing that I
think may be the gem of them
all. Men have sought constant
ly for a long time to know
how to live to be a hundred.
Strangely enough, I overheard
the secret from one of the
coffec-drinkcrs.
The answer is so simple
that it's silly and I can't fig
ure out why no one ever
thought of it before: You Just
keep breathing.
type of stabilization program
was needed.
In the final weeks of the
1961 Legislature, a drastic
price break in the Portland
fluid milk market sent the
dairy industry into a tailspin.
On appeal of producers and
processors, the legislature en
acted a state stabilization law
on a temorary basis.
It was a "breather" to give
the industry time to point its
own way to future stability.
The temporary law will ex
pire on Dec. 31.
After the stabilization law
was enacted. Agriculture Di
rector J. F. Short appointed
Kenneth Sawyer administra
tor. After a scries of public
hearings, the department es
tablished grade A fluid milk
prices to producers in 10 mar
ket areas, effective June 16,
1961.
Milk Under One Market
Subsequent hearings - 27 in
all have been held under the
program-brought some chang
es. Since July of this year, most
of the milk movement in the
state has been under one mar
ket at a $5.R6 price.
The stabilization price ap
plies only to that part of grade
A milk sold in bottle and can
trade. The oversupply of grade
A goes into manufactured
products and brings less than
the stabilization price.
Looking ahead to the termi
nation of the temporary act,
the Oregon Dairymen's Asso
ciation in September, 1961,
called a meeting of representa
tives of 90 per cent of the
fluid milk production of the
state.
ODA President Frank Rood
explained the ODA developed
the Oregon Dairy Industry
Committee to work on the
program. The committee in
cludes representatives of 25
organized milk producer
groups that account for 85 per
cent of the total milk produc
tion in Oregon.
Situation Studied
This committee, with funds
from producer groups, brought
to Oregon a Washington, D. C.
man, J. D. Mason, a milk mar
keting economist, to study the
situation and make recommen
dations for the future.
Upshoot of his recommen
dations was to focus attention
on a federal milk marketing
order. Eventually the indus
try committee rejected this
approach.
Next, the ODI committee
concentrated on a voluntary
statewide program. Under the
stabilization program, Eugene
area producers and processors
developed a voluntary pro
gram which has been success
ful, although holding within
the state-set pricing.
After several meetings, ef
forts at a statewide voluntary
program were lessened as a
few of the larger groups with
in the industry indicated they
could not support it.
Committee Sidetracked
That threw the committee
studies back on a state pro
gram, and on Nov. 7 the com
mittee voted unanimously to
set up a sub-committee to
draft a state stabilization act
for consideration of the full
ODI committee.
In two successive meetings,
efforts of the drafting com
mittee to get down to work;
were sidetracked in squab.
b 1 i n g aver fundamentals
which the parent committco
had instructed be included.
The agriculture department's
summary concludes with this
observation:
"Some committee members
predict the industry will close
ranks and go to the legisla
ture with a request for some
type of state stabilization. Oth
ers in the industry aren't so
sure."
