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.

in a savings account.
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. Her friends
have their own crusades.

- the Common School Fund
administered by the State
Land Board.
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

million by 1969-71.
Interest from the fund now
is providing local districts
with about $1 per cenrus

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.

plan, interest from the fund
gradually would diminish as

Not until the 1970s or later

the legislature to decide.
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. Thus, even if the fund were
