iff i)T MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 9. 1963 ,2 STABLEMATES Poco Bien of the Clyde Locklear Stable at Boston, Mass., lets out with a horse laugh as he sees the litter of 10 Dalmatian pups lined up in front of his stall at the Suffolk Downs race track. (UPI) The Family Council - Kdltor's note: Ths Family Council consists of a Judge, a phy,hirlst, three clergymen, three editors aim a women's editor. Each article is a snrnn-ary of. a family disagreement presented to the Council lhe Council d:als with problems, major and minor, ncounteisd by eoidance counselor and social workers. Edited by - airs. a;nia Denny. tCopyrigh; by Gnrl Features Corp.) Mr. N. E. She should let her daughter make up her own mind. Mrs. R. Y. My daughter is in a very confused state right now. e Mr. N, E. I'm a widower of 58. In the course of my bus iness I was introduced to a young lady who works as a sec retary in a friend's office. We felt drawn to each other and we've had several delightful dates. Even though she's only 28, I mentioned marriage to her and, although she thinks it's possible, her mother is raising such a fuss that I'd like a showdown. .Maybe she's sore that I'm not courting her. Mrs. R. Y. This fellow is too old for me, not to speak of my daughter. Despite what he says I'm sure he's closer to 68 than 58 but he's a smooth talker and Ellen believes him as to age, income, and inten tions. I don't. And I want him to stop pressuring Ellen. For tunately she listens to me now, having been divorced a year ago. She was blindly in love last time, too. She's in no stale to marry yet. The Council: This time we surmise Mama knows best but not because of the age dis parity. While statistics frown on the likelihood of success in May - December unions, there are numerous examples where the calendar doesn't count in producing true soulmates. The "rub" here is Ellen's psycologi cal condition. If she were "in therapy" she'd be advised not to make any permanent com mitments until she "finds" her self. That's our advice, and to aid her in discovering her real self, we suggest a few inter views with a therapist. Away from both her mother and her suitor, she'd hash out: Who am I? What do I need in a mate? . . . Then she can view Mr. E. more clearly in terms of her requirements, his own, and those of a sound marriage. She and her mother will find that, more important than age and income, are health, IlllSlal -,C1 wv, empathy, trust, and flexibility. Rogue River Man Is Flown to Hospital Earl Flowers, route 1. box 14A, Rogue River, was flown Monday by Mercy Flights from Fresno, Calif., where he had been hospitalized since Sept. 25, to Rogue Valley hospital, where he was scheduled for surgery. Flowers, the 1629th patient to be flown by Mercy Flights, suf fered facial and chest injuries when the car in which he was riding reportedly was struck from the rear by a truck. Jackson Discusses Potential Of Area at Rotary Luncheon A 3 Medford Industrialist Glenn Jackson focused attention yes terday on three "problem ele ments in southern Oregon which will affect the future economy of this region. Jackson told a Rotary club luncheon at the Rogue Valley country club that forecasts in dicate there will be 150,000 peo ple in the valley by 1972. To prepare tor ine uuiux oi population, Jackson said respon sible agencies must launch an immediate study ot tne sewage, drainage and drinking water sit uation: must prepare for expan sion of the municipal airport, which has now become a region al facility serving three or four counties; and must develop the year-around recreation potential of this area. He urged those who have been sideline "watchers" to become "doers" in efforts to prepare for the changes which lie ahead. Turning to the state as a whole, Jackson said that Oregon has to overcome considerable "negative advertising" in at tracting new industry to locate here. "Notions persist elsewhere that Oregon is a rain forest state and is backward and undevel oped," he said. Another myth about Oregon, he said, is that the "economy is geared to the price of a two-by-four." In Lumber Industry Actually, he pointed out, only 9.90 per cent of the total labor force in Oregon during 1962 was connected with the lumber in dustry. Jackson county's per centage was higher, he noted, however, with 15.90 per cent of the labor force being employed in lumber work. But he said the multiplicity of other vocations in Oregon repre sented a "fair balance" of occu pations, and the state now has a "good growing diversity" in its economy. Jackson, chairman of the state highway commission, said that "lack of transportation outside of the Portland area" is one of the factors which has inhibited the economic growth of the state. However, he said, "We're gradually getting the answer to the isolation problem," and pointed out that the state's road system is now "one of the best in the country." Prospects Appear Brighter Prospects for the lumber in dustry appear brighter, he felt, noting that the "log supply is about equal to capacity at the moment." Agriculture in Oregon "is still in the primitive stage," Jack son said. "Use of the land has not changed in the last 100 years." He warned that by 1975, one out of eight persons in the U.S. will live in one of the three western states, causing a rapid retirement of land from agri cultural use. He said southern Oregon is "already feeling the effects" of population shifts toward the west coast. There have been a num ber of large real estate transac tions in the region recently, and land in many areas is becoming too valuable for such uses as cattle raising, he said. Great Opportunity Recreation is one of the great opportunities of the area, Jack son said. During 1962, about $217 mil lion was spent for recreation in Oregon, and about $20 million of that figure was spent in Jack son county, he said. But the speaker said that sum should have been $500 million for the state and about $50 million for Jackson county. Jackson said the state high way department had developed 180 parks in Oregon, which were visited last year by about 11 mil lion people, and has now come "close to the potential possible." He said the federal govern ment owns 51 per cent of the land in the state, amounting to about 90 per cent of the recre ation potential. He urged the federal government to increase its efforts to improve and in crease recreation areas in Oregon.
