: Helen Z. - My son is better
off not seeing his father.
I Mrs. D. E. - A boy and his
lather should be friends.
a Helen Z. - Mai is 10 and
I've been divorced from his
father for a year. I've come to
dread the Sunday visits, as
find they do Mai no good
and often give him a head
ache, nausea, and a troubled
night. Now that my ex-husband
is planning to remarry,
he won't mind it a bit if we
drop those Sunday duty calls,
and Mai will have some
peace.
Mrs. D. E. - As Helen's
mother, I'm urging her to en
courage a strong bond be
tween Mai and his dad. She'll
be making a worse mess ol
things than she's already done
if she lets an estrangement
grow between the two - it's a
serious thing to deprive a boy
ol his male parent. If she had
a brother as substitute it
might work, but Mai needs
his father.
The Council: Helen must
never forget that Mai knows
he carries his father's "blood"
within him and he must be
proud of that blood. By be
littling, depreciating, dimin
ishing her ex-husband she
may be subtly conveying to
Mai the idea that this blood
is tainted. If so, he'll feel
doomed and hopeless. Regard
less of her own opinions, this
man and she have shared in
producing Mai. He's a fact,
not an opinion. Both his moth
er and father can find guid
ance on "how to act" looking
at him and seeing what atti
tudes build him up, strength
en him, make him feel like
other kids . . . Maybe the
father he meets once a week
isn't the type they pin medals
on, come Father's Day, but
chances are he has a more
personal stake in Mai than
any other masculine compan
ion Helen can provide . . .
For a more pleasant relation
ship, Helen would be helped
by an organization like Par
ents Without Partners, Inc.,
which offers therapeutic coun
seling facilities. Her bitter
ness toward her ex-mate
would be diverted from harm
ing Mai. And the boy could
join pre-teen groups which
concentrate on Getting Along
with Dads.

Trial Balloons Appear on
As National Conventions
Washington-il)Pli-In politics,
it is important to be able to
distinguish between a trial
balloon and a
lead balloon.
Many a poli
t i c i a n has
turned loose
what he
thought was a
trial balloon
only to have
it drop on his
foot and frac-
West tirre a couple
of tootsies. Others have been
known to rupture their lungs
trying to blow air into the
uninflatable variety.
Despite such hazards, how
ever, it appears that, we are
in for a rather active balloon
season during the next few
months. The 1964 national
conventions are still about a
year away and already a cou
ple of exploratory gasbags
have appeared on the hori
zon. Losing Altitude
When last seen they were
losing altitude fast. Apparent
ly the launchers were unable
to get all the lead out.
Trial balloons have one
thing in common-a certain
amount of flatulence. Beyond
that they may vary widely in
shape and size.
Possibly there are a num
ber of children, and may be a
few under-privileged adults,
who have never seen a trial
balloon.
For their benefit, and for
others who may need a re
fresher course in trial balloon
recognition, I shall undertake
i to list the Identifying features
of some of the more familiar
types.
' "Friends of Sen. Lungbus
ter are quietly working be
hind the scenes in an effort to
obtain the presidential nom
ination for him next year."
The kev word there, the
one that stamps it as the work
of a trial balloonist, is "quietly"
'Bad Boy' Killer
Released on Parole
Salem - (UPII - Dupree Poe,
61, convicted killer and one
time "bad boy" of the Oregon
State Penitentiary, was re
leased on parole last week, the
State Parole and Probation
Board confirmed Tuesday.
Poe was convicted of the
1931 slaying of City Marshal
Hans Iverson during a rob
bery at Silverton. He entered
the state prison in 1932.
Parole officials said Poe is
now doing clerical work at a
warehouse "somewhere in the
Northwest."
"Poe has no family, and we
had a problem finding a
parole plan for him," the of
ficial said.
COLLECTIONS
ANNOUNCED
Salem-UJPIl - State-wide col
lections by the Welfare Re
covery Division of the State
Department of Justice totaled
$49,823 in July, Atty. Gen.
Robert Y. Thornton said Tuesday.
Horizon
Approach
If his friends thought that
Lungbuster really had a
chance, they already would
have hired a brass band.
Hysterical Laughter
Should this balloon pro
duce any sort of reaction oth
er than hysterical laughter, a
second one will be sent aloft.
"Some of the prospective
candidates for next year's
presidential nomination are
quietly working behind the
scenes in a 'Stop Lungbuster
maneuver.
A balloon of that sort gets
its lift from the fact that the
person being stopped actual
ly has never started. It pre
sages the launching of still
another type.
"Sen. Lungbuster had quiet
ly passed the word that he
would not accept second place
on the ticket."
Finally we have "Sen. Lung
buster, often mentioned as a
possible presidential candi
date, announced today that
he will seek re-election to the
Senate instead."
Alaska Bear Kills
Mining Engineer
Fairbanks, Alaska - (UN)
William Strandberg, mining
engineer and brother of State
Rep. Harold Strandberg, was
killed by a bear late Friday
near Tofty, about 150 miles
west of here, the State Police
reported today.
John Monable, State Police
captain, said he received a
sketchy radio report on the
death of Strandberg, who was
52.

Fyrstekalce or Cake Royal
Favored by Norwegians
The Kingdom of Norway
with its population of over
3'i million occupies an area
of 125,065 square miles of
which nearly 70 per cent is
considered uninhabitable. The
hundreds of deep fiords that
cut into Norway's coast line
give it an over-all ocean front
of more than 12.000 miles.
Almost 150,000 islands off the
coast form a natural break
water and thereby a safe
coastal shipping channel.
Fyrstckake (Cake Royal) is
a butter-rich, almond-filled
cake that is understandably
favorite of the Norwegians
and likely to be a favorite of
anyone else who is fortunate
enough to taste it.
Vj pound butter
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking pow
der '2 cup sugar
1 egg
pound blanched al
monds, cut fine
2 cups powdered sugar
1 egg white
Wine or water.
Cut butter into flour. Add
baking powder, sugar, and
beaten egg. Mix. Divide dough
in two parts. Roll out one
part to fit the pan and place
in a greased 9xl2-inch bak
ing pan to cover bottom of
pan. Combine almonds, pow
dered sugar, egg white, and
enough wine) about three ta
blespoons) to make spreading
consistency. Mix well and
spread over bottom layer of
pan. Roll out second part of
cake dough. Cut in strips
about one inch wide with
cookie wheel and place side
by side on top of the filling.
Bake in a medium, 375 de
gree, oven 30 to 35 minutes,
until lightly browned. Makes
12 servings. .
Air-Condition Meals
With Chilled Soups
When the weather is sizz
ling, air-condition meals with
icy-cold soups. Served as an
appetizer or meal-time bever
age, they introduce an ele
ment of novelty that can
make any simple summer
meal seem like an adventure.
Whip them up in seconds in
a bowl, shaker or blender.
Take a short cut, chill the
cans of condensed soup for
four or more hours before
blending with an equal
amount of chilled milk or ice
water (a can to a can unless
otherwise indicated) in gla
cial soup beverages like these:
Senegalese Soup, Blend one
can condensed cream of
chicken soup with one can
milk and a dash of curry.

bine condensed tomato soup
with milk or water; add
chopped fresh or dried basil
leaves.

chopped or grated cucumber.

Dcak. chilled souds. Your fla-1
vor-buds will tell you just the
right one to suit the soup.

mint, chives, green onion, wa
tercress, hard-rooked egg,
nuts. Lemon, lime or cucum
ber slices. Grated orange or

Fresh Produce
Boon to Summer Meals
Along with the summertime
bounty of fresh produce wait
ing to be plucked from fresh
fruit and vegetable displays
are shelf after shelf of tan- j
lalizing mixes and packaged,
canned and frozen main dish
items. Together they can be
combined into countless de
lightful menu variations, each
promising practically effort
less, appetizing, nutritious
meals for serving during the
remaining summer days.
Produce best buys continue
to be melons, so easy and re
freshing to serve, with special
emphasis on cantaloupes and
watermelons. Nectarines,
peaches and plums' are at the
peak of harvest. More and
more varieties of grapes are
arriving. Wonderful Graven
stein apples, so perfect for
making pies and sauce as well
as for eating out-of-hand right
down to the core, are in good
supply. Strawberries, Boysen
berrics, Ollalics and the few
blueberries, currants and rasp
berries are reasonably priced.
Bartlctl pears with their
hearts of gold and wearing a
sun-tan this year are coming j
in.
Supply Plentiful
Vegetables in plentiful sup-1
ply include broccoli, carrots, ;
celery, cucumbers, salad
greens, green and dry onions, j
Bell peppers, summer squash i
and nice solid red tomatoes.
Check the shelves and'
freezer cabinets as well as
the advertisements of your
favorite market for specials
on mixes and packaged,
canned and frozen, ready-to-1
hcat-and-cal main d i s h e s. i
Start with hot bread mixes:
which .jn add so much to an I
otherwise ordinary meal, i
There are biscuit mixes, pan
cake, waffle, popover, muffin,
cornbread and gingerbread.
Then there are cake, frosting,
pudding, cookie and candy
mixes, so easy and satisfying
for the children to whip up
as a surprise for Dad. Dchy-'
dratcd soups when reconsti
tuted become a hearty meal-1
in-a-bowl. Salad dressing
mixes arc increasingly popu-
lar. Entrees are too numerous
to even begin to name them.
Protein Buys. Chicken and
turkey lead the parade. Beef
and lamb are in good supply.
Pork, the changc-of-pace meat,
is frequently spccialcd. Eggs
are an excellent buy. Milk and
dairy products including ice
cream, ice milk, cottage
cheese and other cheeses are
inexpensive sources of protein.
