The program also features Congressman Al U 1 1 m a n; Sens. Maurine Neuberger and Wayne Morse; Harold T. Nel son, regional director for the Bureau of Reclamation; Gil bert A. Stamm, chief of irri gation and land use for the Bureau of Reclamation; Ore gon Secretary of State Howell Appling; State Sen. Anthony Yturri and State Rep. Robert F. Smith. To Review History The dedication speech will be given by Floyd E. Dom iny, Commissioner of Recla mation. A history of the project will be given by Orville Kime, construction engineer for the dam. Kime began his career with the bureau when he came to work on the Vale Project in 1927. The idea of a dam on Bully creek was first conceived in the early 1930s when water rights for storage were first obtained by the Vale Irr'ga tion district and surveys wee started bv the Bureau of Reclamation. The dam is a rolled earth fill type. It is 98 feet high and 2,600 feet long and stores 32,000 acre feet of water to irrigate 5,000 acres in the Vale Project. Effectiveness of Negro Voter Drive Political Mystery Imitation Milk Label Required Salem-IUPll-Beginning Sept. 2 all public eating places and vending machines in the state will have to label any imitation milk products they serve. The labeling requirement comes as a result of action by the 1963 legislature. The State Department of Agriculture said today that menus in places where imita tion milk is served must state that fact. Also under the new law, the words milk, butter, cream, creamery, churn, cheese, cow or dairy can't be used as a part of the trade name nor in the description of products intended to be used as a substitute for dairy or milk products. By AL KUETTNER UPI Correspondent One of the great political mysteries of the day is how effective the Negro voter reg istration drive will be between now and election day next year. The registration campaign, while mostly undramatic, is being pushed with quiet de termination. Following virtu ally all major racial demon strations this year, it has been announced by Negro leaders that the program would continue in the form of voter registration. Such an announce ment was made in mrmingnam, Ala.,. last May following dem onstrations of near riot pro portions. Some of the results are beginning to come to light. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who led the Birmingham civ il rights drive, announced re cently that 2,000 Negroes have been added to the voter rolls in six weeks, bringing the city's voting Negroes to about 14,000. Used Sam Figures The Justice department used the same figures this week to show how far behind are Birmingham Negroes in voting status. The govern ment noted that of 116,100 Negroes eligible to vote only 14,000 are registered. There are 120,000 white voters among 256,300 eligible, it was stated. George Bellsnyder, chair man of the Jefferson (Birm ingham) county board of regis- trars, denies that his county discriminates against voter ap licants. He explains that white and Negro applicants are giv en the same forms, are asked the same questions and hold up their right hands to swear to the same oath The Justice department said it had photographed voting records for a year to gather evidence. It charged Negroes were tested strictly, the whites were given the easy way out, No Grading System Bellsnyder replies: "There is no grading sys tem on the test. White and Negro applicants are graded exactly the same "The fact is that only in recent months have Negroes P re-Teen Years Probably Trying Time for Parents A 3 Br DAVID NYDICK UPI Education Specialist The pre-teen years often are considered quite difficult. This probably is more true for parents than ' for the youngsters. Some typical reactions ol pre-teen children:-. : The mother of John,. IV, suggested that they go to the movies together on Saturday. She was upset when he said he planned to go swimming with friends. Fred. 12. told his father he wanted to go hiking with his Bov Scout' troop instead of on a fishing trip with the family. His father was sur prised since they always had so much fun on these trips. -Ten-year-old Ann's room was messy and she didn't attempted to register. The whites have been registering all the time. Now the Negroes are trying to catch up in one year what was 100 years m the making. You can't do it." Alabama Atty. Gen. Rich mond . Flowers argued last week that some Negro voter applicants had refused to pledge they would bear arms for their country - one of the questions asked. He said he thought no one should be allowed to vote who wouldn't do that. As the voter registration drive grows ever stronger, one thing appears obvious: The Justice Department will in tervene more aggressively in the coming months. Justice Douglas Divorced by Wife Goldendale,. Wash. - IUFII -U. S. Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas, 64, was divorced Wednesday, by his wife, Mercedes, 46, who charg ed the jurist treated her cruel- ly and desired that they live apart. The divorce, the second for both, was uncontested. She formerly was married to C Gerard Davidson, former as sistant secretary of the inte rior and now Democratic na tional committeeman for Ore gon. Mrs. Douglas lives on ranch near Glenwood, north of this Columbia river city, The divorce proceeding be- for Judge Ross R. Rakow of Klickitat County Superior Court lasted only 15 minutes. Mrs. Douglas was the only witness. She told Judge Ra kow that Douglas had told her for more than a year that he no longer cared for her and that her efforts to bring about a reconciliation had failed. The couple was married in 1954. seem to care about her looks. She preferred wearing dunga rees to dresses. Hef parents were distressed that she was becoming a tomboy. Difficult To Accept These actions and attitudes are difficult for parents to accept. But the children want to be with their peers. They seem to rebel against the fam ily. They appear to intention ally reject authority just to prove it can be done. Up to this point the child almost completely has been dependent. He has enjoyed spending time with his par ents. He has shown only mi nor signs of independence. Now the change seems to be quite dramatic. The natural reaction oi many parents is to block this development. They will either exert more authority or per haps extend themselves to show their love and affection. The child reacts by becoming more intent on proving his independence: He becomes stubborn. Parents should realize that this is part of growing up. They too went through this stage of development, and should accept the child for what he is. This doesn't mean to drop all standards. It does mean to administer authority with understanding. Allow the child to experi- Your Money's Worth By SYLVIA PORTER Copyrtfht, Hill Syndicate Inc. ment. He can learn a great deal by trial and error. His curiosity, restlessness, loud behavior, and daring should be guided into sate and satis fying activities. He wants to join clubs and organizations. He may even organize a two man club. He is seeking status and recognition. The pre-teen years surely are trying times for parents. The best approach is to recog nize that most of this beha vior is normal. Although the child seems to resent love and attention, he needs them as much as ever. There is no 'need to permit him to become disrespectful or extremely de manding. He should have the time and opportunity to pur sue his private activities. If this is arranged, he is more likely to show cooperation with the family. Proper guidance at this time can avoid serious trouble in the future.

ARTHUR MURRAY ,.w. g School of Dancing PARKS, Licensee DROPOUTS ARE NOT GOING BACK TO SCHOOL Our teen-age dropouts are not heading back to school Despite urgent warnings exploding across the nation's front pages, despite the obvious fact that school is their only escape route from the swelling, dead-end ranks of unemploy ment, dropouts are not going back to school. There have been a few optimistic rumors, particularly in New York City, that desperate dropouts were "escaping" back to school. But even in the nation's biggest city, where a concentrated "stay-in-school" program is under way, the reports are definitely not true. ; Item: Summer school enrollment in New York City's high schools increased only a disappointing 5,900, compared to more than 7,000 in 1962 and nearly 7,000 in 1961. Item: Enrollments this fall in New York City are not ex pected to rise at all. In 1961, enrollment was up 10,000 to 198,000; in 1962 it was up another 7,000 to 205,000. This year the projection of the New York City Board of Education is a status quo of 205,000. Item: There are more school dropouts, in total numbers, than ever before in history, even though the rate of dropouts in New York City is down. The story is the same throughout the country, says Eli Cohen, executive secretary of the National Committee on Employment of Youth. "There has been no groundswell of dropouts going back to school, tmtead, ihey continue to crowd into an overcrowded job market where they have nothing to sell." Teen-age unemployment today is running at the highest rate since the government has kept -records. Officially, the rate is 16 per cent, nearly three times the nation's overall jobless rate of 5.7 per cent and up from 10.9 per cent in Just one year. Fully 24 per cent of the nation's 4.1 million unem ployed, the Labor Department reports, are teen-agers. "Two million teen-agers now looking for jobs across the country won't get them," Cohen states flatly more than 50 per cent of the number looking. "In New York City, 125,000 will have found jobs by the end of the summer; an other 250,000 won t." Bchinds these estimates is a growing number who are out of school, out of work and who are not even looking for work. About 300,000 across the nation have given up hope. Other officials underline the crisis at hand: "Any young ster between the ages of 16 and 21 who is out of school and o it of work is social dynamite," says Dr. Bernard E. Dono van, executive deputy superintendent of schools in New York City. U.S. Labor Secretary Willard Wirtz has warned over and over that the situation could develop into one of the most explosive problems in the nation's history. If they're not going back to school, what are all these jobless leen-agers doing? "A few of them are taking part in racial demonstrations as a temporary outlet for their frustrations," says EH Cohen. "But a majority of them are stewing in their own juices, hanging around restleti and defeated, doing nothing." At the heart of today's teen-age unemployment crisis is one central fact; one million more babies were born in the bumper year 1947 than were born in 1946. This year there are 800,000 more in the 14-through-19 age group than there were last year. And this is only the beginning: 3.8 million boys and girls turn 16 this year including 1947's bumper crop the "dropout age." To deepen the problem, the era of automation is drying up unskilled job positions at a record rate. The need for a crash program to meet the crisis has never been more obvious. Now is the time, more than ever before in our history, far dropouts and unemllayef teen-agers to nrpnarp themselves for skilled jobs. Further eaSucatiol ft their only escape today.
