Income Plan
By Extension
Corvallis-If all persons 65
years of age and older in Ore
gon were gathered together,
their number would create a
city about half the size of
Portland.
Nearly 180,000 Oregonians,
or one in 10, is 65 years of
age or older. Of these 85,000
are men and 95,000 are wom
en. Because people are living
longer, more are reaching re
tirement age. This prospect or
long life calls for early think
ing about retirement income,
advises Mrs. Alberta John
ston, Oregon State university
extension specialist.
Families will need retire
ment income and they'll need
It for a longer time. As fam
ilies look toward retirement,
they need to consider all fi
nancial sources available to
them for retirement income,
and for money to meet emer
gencies that may arise.
Figures Given
A basic guaranteed regular
income, large enough to take
care of the family's needs, is
the first requirement. Accord
ing to the Burcnu of Labor
Statistics, a retired couple
needs $3100 for a modest, yet
adequate, level of living.
Mrs. Johnston says that re
tirement income of most re
tired families comes from
many sources. Social Security
provides a base for retirement
income for most couples and
individual workers. It makes
it easier than ever before for

Suggested
Specialist
young families to begin early
to accumulate retirement
funds but many retirees need
more income than Social Se
curity provides, she explains.
Some older people can
count on employee pension
plans. Today, almost half of
the nation's workers come un
der some kind of a private
pension plan where they
work, compared to only 16
per cent a generation ago.
Both of these means of sav
ing for the future provide reg
ular income, but provide little
flexibility in spending. This is
when savings and investments
are useful, reminds the OSU
finance specialist.
Families may not think of
it as such but owning a home,
free and clear, at retirement
is income. As a source of in
come through rental or sale,
or a place to live, housing
costs are kept at a minimum.
Owning a home, according to
the Bureau of Labor Statistics,
is worth about $200 or $300
yearly.
Life insurance policies can
sometimes be used to increase
cash income, if necessary. Re
tired couples do not need the
same amount of protection as
a family with children, so the
cash value of Insurance pol
icies may supplement retire
ment funds, through regular
income or as a source of cash
for an emergency. Scries "E"
Savings Bonds can be convert
ed to Series "H" Bonds for an
annual interest payment.
Virus Found
Responsible
For Warts
Chicago -Him- A wart Is
a virus infection of the outer
layer of the skin, explains
the American Medical associ-
tion. And girls arc four or
five times as likely to have
them as boys.
Sometimes they hang on for
years, often they go away for
no apparent reason, and
among adults the incidence
is about the same for both
sexes
Wurts are contagious, says
the AMA, and are started by
contact with the virus that
causes them. Usually the
wart is a benign tumor that
dors not turn Into cancer, re
ports the AMA.
Planter warts (those on the
soles ot the feet) cause the
most trouble. These are most
common In adolescents and
adults with moist feet. Plant
er warts occur most often al
points of pressure.
Physicians generally use ar
electric needle or a freezing
process to remove them.
Tom Sawyer had stump
water and dead cats remedies
to "charm away" warts. The
idea may not be so far fetched
because the AMA says-
"lf the patient firmly be
lieves the remedy will cure
warts, sometimes it will."
Sometimes the physician will
destory the largest wart and
then find that the smaller
ones go away without further
treatment.
Most of the non-prescription
wart remedies contain
acid, the AMA said, and car
cause harmful burns if di
rections arc not followed
carefully

Surprise Dessert
Suggested for
Sherry Parties
Sherry parties have be
come a popular form of en
tertainment in the Rogue Val
ley. For the hostesses who
would like to add a surprise
dessert at these events, Sher
ried Rocky Road Pudding has
been suggested.
As appealing as the candy
that bears the same name,
Sherried Rocky' Road Pud
ding is a culinary treasure. It
is rich and creamy and has
extra flavor of sherry.
There is one precaution
in preparing this recipe. Be
sure to use the packaged pud
ding which requires heating
no t the instant kind. Appar
ently, the wine prevents the
instant pudding from thick
ening as it does when you use
only milk. So for this recipe,
buy the regular chocolate pud
ding. To make the dessert seem
even more special, serve
small glasses of sweet, or
cream sherry as the accom
panying beverage.
SHERRIED ROCKY
ROAD PUDDING
One package chocolate pud
ding and pie filling mix; one
and one - half cups milk; one
fourth cup sherry; one cup
marshmallow pieces; one-half
cup chopped walnuts, and
one -half cup heavy cream.
whipped.
Combine pudding mix with
milk and sherry and cook ac
cording to package directions.
Cool, stirring occasionally.
Stir in marshmallow pieces,
nuts and whipped cream.
Spoon into sherbet glasses:
chill. Garnish with additional
whipped cream, if desired.

Westwood Wind Players
Praised by Music Critic
By R. D. WERNER
The Westwood Wind ensem
ble presented the first concert
of its kind at the Britt Music
festival yesterday afternoon
in Jacksonville.
The players were Gretel
Shanley, flute; Peter Christ,
oboe; David Atkins, clarinet;
Gordon Solie, bassoon and
Russell White, French horn.
This is not an established
group of players but have
been rehearsing here especial
ly for this concert. And that
in itself bespeaks the high
quality of their musicianship
Such is their skill that the
ensemble was quite good and
the dynamics very well per
formed. Balance on the whole was
good; possibly better than it
seemed because of the acous
tics which are not of the best
for this type of music. The
problem of the wind blowing
is one no doubt tne festival
association will attend to
next year. The several an
nouncements made from the
platform were not heard by
this reviewer because of that.
French Music
The program was a very
interesting one and for the
first time we heard some
French music.
The first piece by Danzi
was good enough as an open
er but not of any great im
port. Very handy though, for
the players to get the feel of
the place.
A Divertimento by Arnold
was substituted by a trio by
Ibert for oboe, clarinet and
bassoon. It is delightful mu
sic and has a freedom of har
monic progression decidedly
French. The melodic line is
most free but always under
the control of a master musi
cian.
Like the French painters of
the same period the compos-
Woman Cites
Need For Girls
In Engineering
Chicago - IUPD - Americans
must change their attitude
toward women engineers if
the United States is to offset
shortage in the field and
keep pace with the Soviet
Union, a woman engineer
says.
"In our society, girls who
show an interest in mechan
ics are usually chided for be
ing unfeminine," said Dee M.
Holladay, associate professor
of engineering at the Chicago
undergraduate division of the
University of Illinois.
In the United States, "less
than one per cent of engineer
ing graduates are women,
compared to 38 per cent in
the Soviet Union," Mrs. Holla
day said.
Most engineering jobs do
not require a woman to don
fatigues and a safety helmet
or to crawl over rough ter
rain, she said.
Seventy-five per cent of
engineering jobs in the coun
try are desk jobs in researcn,
development and design. The
other 25 per cent are field
and shop jobs."
She calls false the argu
ment that women engineers'
would not use their education
because they marry and have
a family.
All professional women
really run into the same argu
ment," she said, "but national
statistics show that a woman
who has a family can be em
ployed 25 years of her life.
If she doesn t get married, sne
can expect 40 working years.
Most female engineering
students "come from the poor
er social classes and of for
eign parentage where there
is no Idealized leminine pic
ture being held up to them
every time the girl moves,"
she said.
Girls who want to be engi
neers should expect to be dis
couraged, will be "happy they
overcame the opposition" if
they persevere, Mrs. Holladay
said.
Mrs. Holladay was graduat
ed from the University of Il
linois in 1930 with a degree
in architectural engineering.
She has been on the univer
sity's faculty here since 1946.
Before that she taught radio
in the U. S. Army Air corps
and worked on electronic
equipment for radar projects
in industry.

ers enriched the harmonic
pallette of music so that we
now have more light, more
air, more variety in freedom
than ever before. Their col
ors are more pristine and not
overlaid and mixed as is so
often the case with contempo
rary American and German
composers, which often only
produces opaqueness.
The above was very well
bcrne out by the next compo
sition by Darius Milhaud.
This was played very beauti
fully by the whole group.
Quintet
The quintet by Hindemith
was interesting for musicians
and performers. His is a type
of music that was produced
during the time when all com
posers not yet heard were try
ing for originality. It is diffi
cult for players but the West-
wood ensemble were not
awed by it and carried it off
with aplomb. It is also thick
music and dry, striving for
effect but never quite achiev
ing the desired end. Pungen
cy by accident, tautness by
design; in a word, manufac
tured, clever.
The final short piece by
Ibert cleared the air again
and the sun was shining once
more. The applause was very
warm and the players a happy
group at the close. It is a fine
group and we regret that they
will appear only this once.
Perhaps next season they will
have more to do.

Robert Diggles
Reminisces
About President
Hornbrook - A visitor Sun
day at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Gordon Jacobs was Rob
ert Diggles, Grass Valley.
Calif. He was accompanied by
Charles Foster, also Grass
Valley, and by Mrs. John Tre-
maine, Nevada City, a teach
er for over 30 years in the
schools at Richmond, Calif.
The three were on their an
nual vaction which they have
spent for several years at
Stewart Hot springs, south of
Yreka.
Mr. Diggles, now 88 years
old, is a son of the late H. J.
Diggles, an early day mer
chant of Scott Valley. While
the Diggle children were
young, their parents moved to
Palo Alto, Calif., where at
least three of them, including
Robert and his brother, Ar
thur, were graduated from
Stanford university with de.-.
grees in mining engineering.
While the two were students
at Stanford two other young
engineering students boarded
with the Diggle family. They
were Herbert Hoover, who
was to become President of
the United States, and his
brother, Theodore.
To Australia
In 1897 Arthur went with
Herbert Hoover to western
Australia, where both were
employed as mining engineers
by an English syndicate, and
here Arthur died.
A sister, Grace, also gradu
ated from Stanford, and later
taught there. Her first job, as
a young woman in 1900 was
as a bookkeeper at the T.
Jones store here in Horn
brook, and where Mr. Jacobs,
native of Hornbrook, also
was employed.
Mr. Diggles has in the past
owned many mining proper
ties in Siskiyou county, and
still holds some in Quartz
valley. In reminiscing with
his guest, Mr. Jacobs recalled
that at one time he and the
late Walter Bray had a bear
hunting camp on Wooley
creek, 10 miles up the creek
from Somes Bar. Mr. Hoover
admired the location, and
later acquired the property
where he built a very fine
fishing lodge, and which Mr.
Jacobs believes is still owned
by the cx-president. In the
1930's, Mr. Jacobs had the
honor of having dinner by in
vitation with Mr. Hoover in
Redding, and he remembers,
as long ago as that, Mr. Hoo
ver made the prediction that
the time was coming when
this country would be the
only bulwark in the world
against Communism.

Olgas and Sonjas Lag
Behind Western Styles
By GAY PAULEY
UPI Women's Editor
New York -(UPII- The Olgas
and Sonjas of the Soviet lag
far behind the Western world
in fashion
chic. Their
clothes are
"s o u 1 1 e s s",
says one of
the nation's
largest
dress m a n u
facturers who
s made an of f i
ffiia! cial -tour of
Gay I'auiiy the Russian
apparel industry.
But increasingly, the Rus
sians look to Western fash
ion capitals for inspiration,
said Andrew Arkin, one of
five representatives of the
U. S. apparel industry who,
under State and Commerce
Department sponsorship, vis
ited the Soviet for three
weeks. They toured clothing
plants, design centers, lax-
tile factories and stores in
Moscow, Kichinev, L v o v,
Kiev and Leningrad.
Arkin said the five found
the Soviet woman's dress
"uniformly disappointing" by
U. S. standards. But, he add
ed, "as more tourists go to
Russia, the women will wint
more and better clothes . . .
not keeping up with the
Joneses, but with the West
erners, as it were."
'They very definitely look
to us where style is con
cerned," said Arkin, 39-year-old
president of the Arkin
Organization, New York.
He said he expected the
pressure for improved styling
and fabrics to come from the
"early 20's set-they're more
chic now. The older women
seem reconciled to taking
what's there."
And very often what's
there is not in sufficient sup
ply, and long queues at the
dress racks are common, he
said. A dress goes on sale
only if it's damaged.
In an interview. Arkin
said it was their third day
outside Moscow, in Kichinev.
before he spotted a woman
dressed smartly.
The translator stopped the
wearer and asked where she
had bought the dress, a
blouson-sheath.

"The woman had made It
herself," said Arkin.
The manufacturer defined
a "soulless" dress as one
missing that certain tangible
which makes it smart, no
matter what the price.
The number one style for
summer for the Soviet wom
an is a printed combination
cotton and synthetic dress,
loosely fitting, "cut on house
dress lines", usually with
sleeves, he said.
"Very little of the sleeve
lessness that's rampant in
America. Only a few of the
young women wear sleeve
less dresses."
He found hemlines about
one inch longer than in the
United States, hair styles
lacking any of "those Tony
touches" from New York or
Paris. "You don't see a So
viet woman on the street in
shorts or slacks," he con
tinued. "As for shoes, I saw
so many beach sandals, I
worry about the foot health
of the next generation of Rus
sians. No arch supports."
