hio Has Found (Hlovv To Keep Them Down on the Form Bv JOHN NICHOLS L'niled Prrss International CAMBRIDGE, Ohio UPI -There's a wisecrack that goes: How you gonna keep 'em down on the farm, alter they've seen the farm? Well, a bunch of canny far mers in the rugged hill country of Southeastern Ohio have ex actly reversed that situation and brought city slickers in to pay for milking cows, just for the sake of milking cows. About 60 farm families in the region, one of the state's most beautiful but also lowest in per capita income, this summer brought tourists flocking in to socnd a week or two and dis cover the pleasures of bucolic life. Such was the interest that, as might be expected, the Federal Governent conducted a survey and found that incomes were being augmented by as much as $1,500 a year. The government, as might be expected, then inquired if feder al loans were needed to help things along. It received a po lite but firm no thanks from most area farmers. Many Farms Included The survey showed vacation SECTION C PAGES 1 to 10 MEDFOimftjIWrRIBIJNE MEDFOnD, OREGON. THURSDAY.

On the average, $35 to $70 per adult and $25 per child was charged for a week's stay in a farmer's house, complete with three meals a day and what ever recreation his farm pro vided. That usually included swim ming, picnicking, hiking, fishing and riding Old Dobbin around the meadow. Also, farm chores came under the heading of rec reation. Mr. and Mrs. Sam Ackerman of near Malaga, Monroe county, began farm vacations 14 years ago. At first only a few came each summer. Now the Acker- man farm has a waiting list. Newcomers and repeats en couraged others in the area to get into the business and to im prove recreation facilities. The final touch, a statewide associ ation controlling the standards and facilities and guest place ment, came three years ago. People have come here from New York, Florida and Cali fornia. One couple from Berlin, Germany, vacationed on a farm. Most of the vacationers are in the professional, managerial, sales and office work groups. Few are laborers. "Many are persons who grew up on farms and want their kids to find out what it was like," one farm wife said. MUST ACCKPT BLAMK Rep. Charles L. Weltner (D-Ga.) is shown in Washington as he said that the church bombing in Birmingham, Ala., oceurcd because of a failure of Southern leadership. He indicated that moderates like himself had to accept part of the blame for the bombing for remaining silent "amid the denunciation of others". He added that "we (the mod erates) have stood by, leaving the field to reckless and violent men." (UPI) KIMMY SAYS- Editor's notes This column is written by a Medford teen ager who has chosen lha nom da plum of "Kirmy." Other ieen agers in the area-ar.d, who knows, perhaps even parents baffled at their offspring's behavior - are invited to write to "Kimmy," in car of the Mail Tribune, for suggestions or advice on man ners, dress, behavior and similar subjects. Dear Kimmy: When a boy won't go with you and you are going steady, docs that mean he's getting tired of you? I mean going on a pic nic and things like that. Don't Know Dear Don't Know: He may not be tired of you, perhaps he doesn't like picnics. Dear Kimmy: My mother won't let me be a nudist. How can I convince her that this is the best life for me? Bare Dear Bare: Just say, "Look mom, no laundry" Dear Kimmy: There is a boy who seems to think I like him. He comes over, sits by me in church, and then of course some one has to say I'm leading him on. What should I do? Confused Dear Confused: Sit by some one else. Dear Kimmy: What would you do about a boy who says he is going one place and then goes another place? Wondering Dear Wondering: Get him a road map. Dear Me: Of course! Politici ans do it all the time! i4i v ri Dear Kimmy: I made a lot of enemies when school end ed. Do you think I should run for an office? I will be in high school. . Me Dear Kimmy: What do yu think is the best way to initi ate a person? Undecided Dear Undecided: Don't do it!! Dear Kimmy: I'm puzzled. There is this boy I like very much, in fact I've liked him for over a year. The trouble is he's going steady with one of my best friends. He is real sweet to me, talks to me all the time, and he even calls me. 1 went with him about four months ago. Please Kim my, how can I get him back? You've got to help me. be cause I can't go on very much longer like this. Unloved Dear Unloved: With him be ing nice to you and his calls, I think he is doing it to show you he still likes you for a real good friend. Don't push him farther, or you may lose your very valuable friendship. Dear Kimmy: What can I do about my guy? He won't let me write to, talk to, or look at other guys. He wants me to quit the organization I'm In because I'm the only girl. Yet he looks at, whistles and honks at almost every girl he sees. Wondering Dear Wondering: Is your guy worth playing the game for un der such ground rules? They sound unfair to me. EM DIRECT TO CONSUMKR In Columbus, Ohio.

(UPI) Fire Survivors Being Moved To Other Rest Homes RIGGINS, Idaho (UPI)-Sur-vivors of the tragic predawn fire which swept through a rest home here Tuesday and claimed the lives of seven elderly men will be moved to other rest homes throughout the area. Bob Salter, owner of the Par adise Pines Rest Home, said Wednesday, "We are cooperat ing with state officials in at tempting to move these people out as rapidly as possible." "I would not say we are being forced by the state officials. It's more a matter of both we and the state realizing that Riggins Hot Springs is not a suitable place to keep these people," Sal ter said. Riggins Hut Springs is a resort run by the persons who owned the rest home. Not Planning To Rebuild Salter, who estimated h i s property loss at $200,000, said he did not believe he would rebuild the rest home. Nearly a score of elderly pa tients, both men and women, were taken to Riggins Hot Springs a few miles from here following the fire. About a dozen others, who suffered shock, cuts and bruises in their hasty exit from the inferno, were hospital ized for observation at McCall south of here. "We are moving them just as quickly as we can" to rest homes at Grangeville, Weiser, possibly Council and some even to Boise, Salter added. The fire was discovered about 3:15 a.m. by Johanna Walters, a NROTC Exams Are Announced by Navy The 18th annual national com petitive examination for the regular naval reserve officer training corps will be given Dec. 14, Vice Admiral W.
