WHALE RIDER Skindiver William De Court, 24, ot San Diego, Calif., rides a crippled 45-foot whale about a mile and a half off shore at La Jolla, Calif. DeCourt and his buddies played with the whale for ' several hours, finally removing a line caught on its flukes, letting it swim off. (UPI) Dennis the Menace ..... . 00r ' Amateur Photographers Have Whale of A Time With Whale Li Jolla, Calif - IUPD - Four San Diego amateur photog raphers had a whale of a time last week with a whale. The four frolicked in the ocean for- three hours with their new found friend, photo graphing it close up, riding on its back and even shower ing under its spout. It was a one-ln-a-million experience that every photog rapher dreams about," accord ing to Charles Nicklin Jr., 35, operator, of a local diving shop. . He said the 45-foot finback whale was crippled and ex hausted because it had been entangled in .a nylon line which they were able to re lease. Nicklin said he,' Alvin Sant- myer, 35, a diving shop oper ator; William DeCourt, 24, a design draftman, and Frank Morepohn, 32, an architect ural illustrator, first sighted a whale spout about l'i miles offshore. "We thought at first it was sleeping because it lay so still on the surface," Nicklin said. "When we got up close we were so excited we kept drop ping film all over the boat. "As it made no indication of taking off, we suited up and Beaverton Board Votes Teacher Pay Increase Bcaverton - IUPD - School District 48 board Monday night voted to hike the base pay of teachers' to $4,700 with proportionate raises for all steps on the scale up to $8,400.

He just wallowed there, rocking back and forth." "He was really big," De Court volunteered. "After shooting pictures for awhile," Nicklin continued, "We took turns riding on its back, clowning around and posing." "I got a shower sitting near the blowhole when it spout ed," DeCourt said. "It was sort of awesome," Nicklin said, "when we "OIL TO BURN" Mobilhtit S4H Green Stamps MEDFORD FUEL CO. 772-2111 thought of the size of the whale and what he might do to us. We were somewhat afraid to take the line off his sail, because we thought he might do something violent. Finally I dove down and re moved the line that had crip pled him. "He waited a bit, gave a spout, waved his tail and off he swam." "We felt a kinship for him," DeCourt said. "He didn't say thank you, but we know he appreciated what we did for him."

Edited by Mrs. Alma Lenny. (Copyright by General realures Corp.) Philip F.-My brother turns Into a "Latin lover" around my wife. . Hannah F. - It's about time I had a real gentleman in the house, Philip F. - Through a relief agency I was Informed that my only brother was living In France after having escaped from a Nazi concentration camp. I was overjoyed at the news. I hadn't heard from him since he was 15 years old. That was 20 years ago and I had given him up for dead. After a thorough Investigation I was convinced that Sam, now 35, was really my broth' er and I brought him to this country. Not only did I pay for his passage, but I wcl' corned him into my home, and provided a Job for him In my textile firm at a good salary more than he's worth there. Now I have a new problem Sam abuses my hospitality by flagrantly flirting with my wife. I catch him kissing her and he's not even embarrass ed. Hannah F. - My husband Is Just too strait-laced. Sam can show him the gentler arts of making a woman happy. It's a pleasure having such a con siderate and respectful man around, Phil certainly needn't worry about the emotional aide of this. Sam's a kid and no fool, and neither am I. He looks at me more like a moth er, or an aunt. Right now he's apartment-hunting, then he'll find himself a wife and set tle down. Meanwhile he's practicing his charms on me and I find them refreshing. My husband should have no complaint. Thanks to Sam's compliments and politeness, I feel more feminine and domantic than ever. Instead of making a fool of himself over this, Phil should ask Sam for a few les sons. I'm getting used to hav ing my chair held and my hand kissed. The. Council: - Phillip's younger brother didn't live in vacuum for 20 years. He lived in France. So his form of brotherly love has a "nu ance" of this and a "soupcon" of that to make It "Continen tal." It may well be perfect ly innocent, as directed to ward his sister-in-law. Philip would be wise to regard It as the "French dressing" that perks up the family dinner. A Frenchman has a head- start as a "gallnnt" and, as the saying goes, 50,000,000 of them can't be wrong. Maybe It's wine and the altitude, but he kisses as automatically as American men say Hello. Per haps If Sam had come to America by way of Alaska, spending 20 years there, he'd arrive with a different ap proach to women. Then It might be HHiinah who'd do the complaining. We must warn Philip against unwarranted Jealousy He seems to be Imputing to his brother the looseness allied with a "stereotype" ot the Lat in lover. But a stereotype isn't real. It's a straw-man set up by novelists, propagandists, dramatists, and exhibitionists, The flesh-and-blood Sam must be viewed as a loving, niton tive, grateful brother, despite his outward mannerisms which baffle Philip and re- galo Hannah. There's no evidence of any thing awry In the love rela tionship between husband and wife. As for the kissing, we'll wager Sam kisses Philip loo, It's a Gallic means of con versing. Certainly Hannah Isn't going to push her young brother-in-law away and hurt his feelings, The "limits" be tween them seem to be clear ly understood. Once Sam moves out, and on general principles it should be soon, Philip can turn his stay to sentimental profit by beginning to open the cur door for Hannah and even pinch her cheek on oc casion. I Two Buildings Expected To Be Started at OSU Corvallis-Two new build- Ings-a Radiation center and an Oceanography building -are expected to be started this month at Oregon State univer sity, setting the stage for sig nificant future advances in the two new teaching and re search fields. Bids for the structures were opened this week. Both are expected to be finished in about a year, President James H. Jensen said, both will be built in large part with federal grunts. ; The Radiation center will be $755,280 building, 'especi. ally designed for a wide range of radiation studies Involving large number of scientists from several departments. Dr. H. Wang is director of the Radiation center.' which will be built on the west edge of the campus. .. ;. ,. Another Milestone , The $660,500 Oceanography building represents a n o ther milestone in the rapid growth of OSU ocean studies. Almost no research had been done on the ocean off Oregon before OSU launched its work' in 1054. Now, the Oregon State department of oceanography is becoming one of America's leaders, Jensen said. . Dr. Wayne V. Burt Is head of the Oceanography department Advanced teaching pro grams will draw major atten tion In both buildings, Jensen added. Trained graduates in radiation sciences and ocean ography are badly needed throughout the country, he said. Funds for construction of the Radiation center came from the National Science Foundation, $2 0 0, 0 0 0; Na tional Institutes of Health, $177,640; and the other $377, 64D from the state emergen cy board. The Oceanography building will be financed with a $500, 000 National Science Founda tion grant and $166,500 in bal anccs available from gifts and grants to the institution.
