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?

In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
The news today?
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

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. Tne biggest
names on supermarket shelves are among the brands
most often complained about."
