Janet S. - We don't want her bringing Ken along to the party. Grace Z.-I can't shake him without hurting his feelings. Janet S. - There are some people who just throw a pall over a party, and Grace's friend Ken is one of them. Our club is planning a ski week end and it will be ruin ed if she brings him along, as she says she will. She intro duced him to us at the Christ mas dance and most of us took a dislike to him immedi ately. He's loud - mouthed, long-winded and boring. He buttonholes you and nrgucs with you over any re mark you make. It's not fair of Grace to wish him on us and subject us to his tirades and harangues. She says she's just trying to help him. That's fine. But let him do his talk ing to her, not us. . Grace Z. - I'm 23 and I met Ken two years ago. He'd just been discharged from the Navy and he was confused and lonely. When he ex plained that he'd grown up on a remote farm in Iowa and never felt at case among young people, I befriended jiim. What he wanted most was a pair of ears, someone who'd just lei him talk. At the same time I tried to introduce him to others and jjet him to join clubs. I didn't want him to grow too de pendent on me. But he clings like molasses. And frankly I'm having a hard time trying to shake him. He may even be in love with me, which would be tragic. Janet and my friends ought to be willing to help me in my "good deed" toward Ken. I feel that just listening to him is a form of philanthropy. The Council: The kind of listening Grace offers Ken is polite and merciful, but it really isn't helping him. It may merely be solidifying his obnoxious trails. We're reminded of the Suses yai!y to Portland Greyhound schedules are so frequent, it's almost as though they were planned for you.

The people of Oregon are the family, anrt Gov. Mark Hatfield says it will cost $404.1 million in taxpayers' money to keep staie services going for the next biennium. He has asked for a raise -in taxes - of at least $49 mil lion. Meanwhile, earnings from school grant lands that Ore gon received a ccntur. ago are piling up in a special fund boast made by a much-married and fading actress. "I've never gone in for psycho analysis because I have some dear friends who listen to me for nothing." And nothing is what that listening is worth. Ken needs a more skilled form of listening than Grace, or her friends, can provide, even though her kindness has undoubtedly brought h i m well along the way to social courage. He must talk to someone who can guide his thinking and help him solve the riddle of himself. Grace has bitten off more than she can chew if she thinks she can seltle his personality problems single - handed. Or with the aid of her pals. Somehow she must get Ken to turn elsewhere for practice in ''getting along" with his peers. As a painless start she might refer him to one of the many How-to books and ease the blow by saying she'd just read it herself and it had helped her. But his real sal vation seems to lie in counsel ing by a guidance expert, im personal and experienced. This doesn't mean he's ill. It means that he doesn't know himself or trust himself and, consequently, stays tied to Grace as to a lifeline. He must be helped to stand alone so cially and emotionally. Even if he demurs and claims, as Grace dreads he may do, that he's in love with her, she should be firm. As a test of his "love," and in re turn for her two years of listening to him, he should agree to listen to her this time. The psychologist will endeavor to show him the difference between love and dependence. Grace ought not to bring Ken to the party. He's her project. Rehabilitating h i m may feed her ego.

Much of the revenue is com ing lrom timber sales from the school lands. After the revenues go into the Common School Fund, they are reinvested, mainly in bonds and loans. Under the present constitu tion and laws, only the in terest from these bonds and loans is given to local school districts. Change Said Needed Legislative Fiscal Officer Kenneth Bragg says the legis lature should think about changing all this. In a report just issued, the legislature's own fiscal watch dog has questioned the ven erable fund. To Bragg, it is a debatable practice for the state to bor row money on one fide while saving its earnings on another side. Bragg says it would be timely for Oregon to think about amending its laws and its constitution to make the earnings from the state lands available now at a time when they are needed. The fund is now worth $18.5 million. Timber sales will build it up by $2.6 mil lion in the 1963-65 biennium. Cash from timber sales is ex pected to be worth $3 million by the 1969-71 biennium. On the other hand, interest from all the reinvested money in the fund will be worth just $1.2 million in the next bien nium. If the fund keeps build Number of Men, One Woman, Join U. S.

Interest from the fund now is providing local districts with about $1 per cenrus school child. Bragg's pro posals would more than triple that amount. Bragg suggests two changes. Law Change One is a change in the law. It would make it possible for the $2.6 to $3 million in bir v nial earnings from timber sales to go directly to the school districts, instead of going into the fund.

The second is a change ;n the constitution. It would let the legislature dive into the fund it?elf. giving the local school districts a $15 million chunk in 1965-67. Under this plan, interest from the fund gradually would diminish as the fund was depleted. Bragg's plan -vould ease the financial pinch that Oregon is Rath freshly 53 f T 10 - oz. pkg.

But Bragg says another basic concept has washed away in recent years. Originally, the land was the capital, and timber cutting depleted it. Therefore, the money from the timber was put into the fund to keep the basic working capital at the same level. This is no longer the situa tion, says Bragg. Now, tim ber is being cut on a sustained yield basis, so that the re source no longer is being de pleted.
