Mrs. J.P. He should turn in his license and stop driving. Mr. J.P. I've never had an accident yet. She's a nag. Mrs. J.P. - When a child Is sick you take him to the doctor. But what can you do with a grown man? My husband has high blood - pressure so bad that it has made him black out. Liquor in moderation used to help him. But now he drinks so heavily that he blacks out from intoxication. What scares me most is that he insists on driving, regardless of his con dition. I can't take the car away from him and I can't reason with him. Mr. J.P. My wife is just a killjoy. Whenever she finds me feeling a little gay she's there with the ice-water about my blood pressure or my drinking. It's pure spite. I can't be in such bad shape if I've held the same position for 14 years, and have been driving that long without trouble. What really gripes her is the money I spend getting drunk. But that's the bright spot that sets me up for the next week's work. The Council: Before talking about Mr. P.. let's talk about us the public who must use the same highways as he does. We urge Mrs. P. to do us, her self, and him the service of noti fying the police to nab him when he sets forth behind the wheel with a snoutful on him. And pray that they immobilize him before he gets immobilized in a homicidal accident. H i s past record is no guarantee of future safety . . . While moder ate drinking may be therapeu tic, Mr. P.'s is now immoderate and dangerous. His dependence upon it, not for health but for his only "bright spot," marks him as headed for alcoholism. Surely, with the help of his doc tor and his wife, other and more salutary ways of making life bearable can be found for him. He needs facts, faith, and friends. One way to get all three fast is to join Alcoholics Anony mous. Another is to write the National Council on Alcohol ism, 2 E. 103 St., New York City for the name of a nearby clinic. There are now 158 of these in the U.S.A. t '-la. c ' ,n"v, 4r r s I BURMA Q L iiimsj . J-PiTj. .

(UPD-South of China and east of India lies an S-shaped line of coast backed up by forest-covered mountains and river plans in whicn tne separate influences of the two great Asian civilizations have mingled over tne centuries. This region was named Indo China by the French, who land ed on its shores in the hayday of 19th Century colonialization. Indo-China consists of Viet Nam, known through history as the "Smaller Dragon" because of its traditional tribute-paying relationship to the "middle kinadom" of China, along with Cambodia and Laos. The whole area totals about 300,000 square miles. A Troubled Land Today, as in the past, it is a troubled land. It is trapped in the fierce struggle between East and West for the souls and minds of its inhabitants. Al though the people are easy-go ing and peaceable, they have been caught up in various strug gles down through the cen turies. While Confucian influences are predominant among the Vietnamese, wiiose Mandarin rulers fought a long series of wars to wrest their independ ence from China, and who in the 19th Century constructed a bold new capital for their court on lines of imperial Peking, the two kingdoms of Cambodia and Laos are areas of strong Budd hist belief. When the first European mis sionaries landed on the coast of central Viet Nam Ihey were not French, but Portuguese from the China coast trading outpost of Macao they discov ered the vestiges of a once- flourishing civilization which had been swallowed up by the jungle. This was the civiliza lion of the Chams, inhabitants of a defunct kingdom known Lot Owners: Carlton This Beautiful 3-Bedroom Home Can Be Yourt for Only S6900 Basic Pkg.

ADDRESS as Champa, whose old stone tower still look out over the blue sea from hilltops near Tourane and Que Nhon. Related to Others It was soon discovered, also, that the Chams were related to another people who lived further west and whose ancestors, the Khmers, had possessed a great capital of imposing grandeur complete with an intricate sys tem of reservoirs and irrigation canals. This capital, construct ed at tremendous expense be ginning in the ninth century A D. and abandoned in the early 15th Century, was Angkor Wat, now a popular tourist attraction m Cambodia. The rulers of Viet Nam greet ed the arrival of European mis sionaries with suspicion, and the implantation of Catholicism in Viet Nam was not without bloodshed. The empire was ruled by the benevolent autocra cy of a successsion of Mandarins from the throne at Hue. The Mandarinate was incredi bly backward. It prided itself on its lofty isolation from the currents of Western technical progress which were then lap ping round its stone fortifica tions. In 1833 the edict which de clared that the profession of Christianity was a crime punish able by death. A number of missionaries were imprisoned, executed or exiled, and their houses and places of worship were destroyed. In 1836 a further edict closed Vietnamese ports, with the ex ception of Tourane, to all Euro pean shipping. Finally, in the 1860's, French military squadrons arrived in nearby seas, and under the guise of affording protection to French citizens, they succeeded in compelling the local rulers to assent lo a protectorate. The day of French colonial rule had arrived. French protectorates followed in short order in both Cambodia and Laos, the latter consisting of a number of separate feudal principalities which were not joined together under the unified rule of the King of Luang Pra bang until as late as 1947. The man who was mainly re sponsible for the extension of French protection to Laos, then lurgely unexplored, was Auguste Pavie. He has left us a colorful written account of his travels through the jungles and across mountains just before the turn of the century. At late as 1920 the journey On Oct. 4, the ninth grade football squad will travel to Monument north of Grants Pass to play their ninth grade team. On that same day, the Hedrick eighth grade will play the Klam ath Falls eighth grade here at 3:30 p.m. The World Explorers club for students interested in geography has been organized this year with Tom Colley as faculty ad visor. The club is open to sev enth, eighth and ninth grade students who are interested in exchanging tapes, slides, and post cards with students their own age in other parts of the United States and in foreign countries. Nelda Swisher, girls' physical education teacher and Stinger advisor, has announced the for mation of a new girls' group called the Stingcrcttes. The group is comprised of the girls who failed to qualify for the Stingers. The girls will act as an organized rooting section during Hedrick ball games. from Luang Prabang to Bang kok, partly by river boat, partly by walking and partly by ele phant, took 25 days; from ia- vannakhet to Quang Tri, 20 days; and from Attoneu in south Laos to Qui Nhon on the central Viet Nam coast 15 days by fast horse or horse-and-clephant re lay. All these distances are now calculated in terms of minutes of flight by light plane, which has come to be the every-day form of transport in the roadless hinterland of the mountains. Today, the royal houses of Laos and Cambodia have both survived the 90-odd years of French protectorate. In Cam bodia, Prince Norodom Sihanouk stepped down from the throne and took the title of head of state. But the last successor of the Hue emperors, Bai, abdicat ed in 1945 and now lives on the French Riviera while Viet Nam is under republican government, Few neighboring monarchies are more different in character, than Cambodia and Laos. Prince Sihanouk of Cambodia is an ex trovert, a modern temporal statesman who attends sessions of the United Nations at the head nf his country's delegation and tirelessly travels about his own small land in search of new facts and new possibilities for raising living standards. King Savang Vatthana of Laos, on the other hand, is a retiring ascetic, little given to their poli tics or enjoying life as Sihanou is. King Savang Vatthana suc ceeded to the throne in October, 1959, on the death of his father. King Sisavang Vong, who at that time was the longest reign ing monarch in the world (54 years). President Ngo Dinh Diem In South Viet Nam and President Ho Chi Minh in North Viet Nam both aspire to the goal of re unifying the country, divided along the 17th parallel. The North Vietnamese, are as effec tively separated by the present partition as the people of East and West Berlin. The Viet Minh, whose guerrilla units defeated the French expe dilionary corps a decade ago at Dien Bien Phu in the Vietna mese mountains near the north ern Laos border in one of the most desperately conducted sieges of modern times, pro ceeded to infiltrate the south and to create a new guerrilla underground, called the Viet Cong. Today, Vict Nam is still a country at war, as it has been since 1940.
