MtUtUHD MAIL THlBUNE. MLDrOHD, OHEGON THURSDAY. MARCH 7. 1963 Try and Stop Me By BENNETT CERF- rpHE INDIANA Bell Telephone Company reports that one i. ' itS Perators was asked the other day to put in a call for a state prison official in Huntsville, Texas. "Do you happen to know his num- eer? asked the operator. He doesn't have a num ber,n was the response. "He's the warden there." A Greenwich Village ex preaso emporium featured a lady poetess this season who earned free meals for herself by leaning over backwards every now and then and picking up her handkerchief with her teeth. For an encore she leaned over backwards again and picked up her teeth. British author C. Northcote Parkinson has won International fame as a humorist, yet the "laws" he has set down to remind successful business men of the pitfalls that endanger them have enough basic truth in them to make one ponder long and care fully. Three basic Parkinson laws, for example, are these: 1. Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion. 2. Expenditure rises to meet income. 3. Expansion means com plexity, and complexity, decay. Any arguments? O 1963, by Bennett Cert Distributed by King Features Syndicate Grenfell Given Two Years' Probation Portland-IUPb-Formcr State Senator William Grenfell of Portland, who was con"-ted of failing to remain at the scene of a traffic accident, was placed on two years' pro bation Wednesday. Circuit Judge Virgil Lang try also levied a S250 fine against the 37-year-old ex legislator and recommended that his driver's license be suspended for one year. Grenfell, a former city fire man and defeated candidate for Multnomah County com missioner, was convicted last Friday by a Circuit Court jury in Portland. He was charged 'n connec tion with a two-car accident in North Portland last Oct. 8. Harold Jones, 61, Battle Ground, Wash., was killed in the crash. Grenfell was seri ously injured.

There's nothing much in the way of big news to blow your hat off. So let's turn to the little news. VE of our numerous space " robots sent back a message the other day to the effect that normal life on the planet Mars is impossible. There's nothing there, the message added, to support life as we know it. Now if we could just get the same news as to condi tions on the moon, we might be able to settle down to the'! serious business of making life better here on this planet that we call the Earth. FROM Seaside, down at the mouth of the Columbia river, comes word that when Charles A. (Chuck) Smith got fed up a while back with gov ernment regulations in the dairy business, he turned to MINK RANCHING. He re ports that he has never re gretted it. His judgment was probably good. There is considerable evidence that in these days MINK is getting to be more important than MILK. You are also probably aware that if a spanking program got started in some school a lot of fur would fly. TALKING the other day with Doug P u c k e 1 1, of Keno, about doe shooting in Oregon, and the official con tention that it has been neces sary in order to keep the deer population down to the point where there will be enough feed to go around, he told me the story of the colored boy who was caught on the top of a burning sky-scraper with no way to get down. There was a rubber boot factory on the upper floor, and so he put on a pair of the boots and jumped off the roof. The boot soles were springy, and when he hit the ground he bounced and bounc ed, going higher with every bounce. The upshot of it was that they had to shoot him to keep him from starving to death. "That," Doug added, "is about all that can be said for these doe shooting licenses the game commission has been ped dling." TTP SALEM way, where the Oregon legislature is in session, there have been sug gestions that if there were more SPANKINGS in the schools the quality of Oregon education might be improved. That led to an inquiry, di rected to Slate School Super intendent Leon Minea as to what the law is on the sub ject. Dr. Minear reported that spankings are not prohibited by Oregon state law. Nor, he added, does the Oregon State Department of Education have any rules or regulations on spanking. The state law, he says, recognizes the "loco parentis" (teacher in place of parent) concept, and so the teacher is legally presumed to be correct if a spanking is administered. TN RESPONSE to the m- quiry, Dr. Minear went on to say, spanking is no crime in Oregon unless it i malici ously administered or so se vere that it causes permanent Injury to the student. In 12 years, he says, only one case of spanking has come to his attention. As a general rule, local districts have regulations, and usually require a witness to observe spankings. Most of it, he re ports, is done "by hand" or with a ruler and most spank ings arc confined to the pri mary grades. College Receives Cash for New Fund Ashland - Southern Oregon college has received a cash contribution from the Win ston School Employees and Administrators to initiate the E. H. Hedrick student loan fund, Donald E. Lewis, bus ness manager, has announced. Hedrick, a much-loved and respected educator, and re tired superintendent of the Medford public school system, died recently. Making the presentation on behalf of George Corwin, su perintendent of the Winston Dillard District 116, and the Winston contributors, were Vincent McGovern, principal of the Lookinglass and Ten Mile elementary school, and Bert Kleiner, principal of the j Dillard elementary school. In presenting the gift, Cor-1 win and Kleiner expressed the i hope of the Winston group that others in southern Ore gon and throughout the rest of the state would be in spired to add to the fund in order that it would become a permanent tribute to Mr. Hedrick.

Quotes From the News By UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL Little Rock, Ark. - Gov. Orval Faubus, charging the fed eral government secretly recruited Arkansas National Guard pilots for the 1961 Cuban invasion: "This whole thing is a disgrace in American history. They tried to recruit some men in the North and couldn't do it, so they came down to the South where they still have some patriotism and got volunteers among the National Guard." Haledon, N.J. - Mrs. A. J Stuecklc. tellin? what hap pened when a safety valve popped at a paint tactory. "All ol a sudden everything started being all red, and I opened my door and I started getting red." Washington - Mildred Edic Brady, of the Consumers Union of the U.S.. Inc., backing a bill aimed at outlawing misleading labels and outsize packages: j "This is not one of those situations where a barrel is condemned because of a few rotten apples.
