I'm about fed up witty my friend. She's let herself go until she's lat, sloppy, and dull, when actually she's a brainy woman and fills a hard job as a statistician. She whines that she can't be attractive be cause of her horrible childhood. She tried a few weens of psy chotherapy and says the doctor agreed that her parents ruined her life. Her parents aren't that bad she's making lazy ex cuses. Vivian Y. When a child grows up hearing her parents call het homely and stupid, she hasn't much ambition left. Any one with a loving family can't understand my hopeless feel ings. Gcrt has won promotions in her office because her par ents convinced her she could face the world. Mine made me want to hide. It's too late for me to perk up I'm almost 40. My folks made me what I am today a mope. The Council: Vivian Is goof ing off and blaming her par ents. She's one of those off spring who believe that's what parents are for: if not credit, then castigatinn. But, bringing Shakespeare up -to - date we state: The fault, dear Vivian is not in our Ma's that we are mopes, but in ourselves. For to each comes a period of free will, of decision. This reminder, like castor oil, won't make Vi vian's mouth water but it may help her, It's quite normal for a child to "hate" her parents! at times. By adulthood, how ever, she is expected to under stand them, the forces which pushed them, and if not to ad mire or approve, at least to for give. No therapist will discharge a patient as cured if she still attributes her shortcomings and failures to her parents. She's holing up in a futile cave . . . We advise Vivian to go back for a few more sessions with a counselor (medical or lay) who can take up the job of freeing her from incapacitating, dead end antagonisms.

Dennis the Menace : t" a ! 9 They know.. SOUR CREAM Expert in Rocketry Believes Venus May Contain Some Life By ALVIN B. WEBB JR CAPE CANAVERAL (UPI) -Venus, that planetary beauty in the sky, still has at least one champion. Venus has fared rather poorly at the hands of non-esthetic sci entists this year. They have ruled that this ancient queen of the heavens actually is nothing but a sort of oven in the sky, hiding her dreary ugliness be neath a perpetual skirt of bril liant clouds. But up steps a U.S. space sci entist, Krafft Ehricke. with a dissenting opinoin to the general scientific conclusion that Venus is a broiling; lifeless desert. At the risk of getting into a man-vcrsus-machine argument, Ehricke remains unconvinced that the planet is broiling. That poses an interesting point of speculation. If Venus is not broiling, then it is cool per haps cool enough to support life. Deplores Current Thinking Ehricke deplores the current tendency to rule out Venus as having no merit for future manned exploration. "Venus is an example of why you neel man in space," he said. It does not disturb the stocky , Mars, on the other hand, is nak- ex-German rocket expert that ed in its reddish brilliance to he is at odds with popular scien- earth-bound telescopes. tific sentiment about the planet Venus. Actually his argument is not that his fellow anti-Venus scientists are wrong but that they do not have enough infor mation to prove they are right. Ehricke is director of ad vanced studies at General Dy namics-Astronautics in San Di ego, Calif. and, as such, he is one of the so-called "four-out group that is studying where, when and how man should go into interplanetary space after he conquers the moon. Despite the apparently nega tive results from America's Mariner-2 space proble the ba sis for most of the present ill thoughts about that planet Ve nus remains Ehricke's favorite initial planetary port-of-call in his own proposals for post-lunar expeditions. "Venus might hold even more surprises than Mars" is his opinion. Covered by Clouds There is an element of mys tery about Venus, whose surface is 100 per cent hidden by clouds. Ehricke takes exception to the inclination of the space science fraternity to almost completely write off Venus as a worthwhile target on the basis of informa-. fairly uniform 800 degrees Fahr- tinn gleaned by the 447-pound enheit. . .of the entire surface. Mariner-2 that swung to within This is four times the boiling 21,648 miles of that planet last point of water, enough to turn Dec. 14.

But Ehricke questions wheth er the readings from a compar atively small but almost primi tive sort of instrument like Mariner-2 during a comparatively oriel 35-minute "near approach to Venus should constitute irre futable proof. Questions Interpretations For instance, he does not doubt that Mariner-2 detected a high temperature reading some where. But was that "some where" actually on the surface. or was it somewhere in the thick cloud layers? If the latter was the case, said Ehricke, then "Venus does not necessarily have an 800-degree MEETS WITH LEADERS WASHINGTON (UPI) -President Kennedy meets today with two African leaders, Prime Min ister Hastings K. Banda of Ny asaland at 10 a.m. EDT and Premier Cyrille Adoula of the Congo at noon. temperature on the surface, and therefore (if the temperature is lower) the surface is not neces sarily dry" as has been the com mon interpretation. Thus: "If Venus has oceans, they could contain life. "And they could have more lite than Mars." And there is where Venus has it all over Mars as a possible package of surprises. "I don't think people would be surprised if our astronauts b r o u g ht lichens (primitive plants) home from Mars," said Ehricke. But to find life, even in the rudimentary form of lichens, on a planet that had been given up for dead would indeed raise some eyebrows, particularly in the scientific field. Ehricke suggested that the mysteries of Venus would be cleared up only by "detailed reconaissance far more elabor ate than that of which Mariner-2 was capable. In fact, he said, the equipment would have to be so complex that "you might as well take a man." And that is just what Krafft Ehricke would like to see. Man Pleads Not Guilty To Charge PORTLAND (UPI)-A Bever ly Hills, Calif., man pleaded innocent in U.S. District Court here Wednesay to a 17-count indictment charging him with mall fraud and conspiracy in the sale of desert land in east ern Oregon. Maurice Arthur Hall, 39, and six partners have been charged in connection with the sale of Lake Valley subdivision lots near Burns. The other defend ants entered pleas of innocent here last week.

J ' THURSDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1S6J PORTLAND (UPI)-On Oct. 12, 1962, a Navy radar picket ship positioned some 300 miles off Northern California flashed a terse weather report to met eorological stations along the West Coast. The coded message was the first inkling that the region and particularly Oregon was to bear the brunt of the most de structive windstorm in the area's history. The insane wind, known sim ply as the Columbus Day storm or the Big Blow, killed 24 per sons in Oregon and inflicted damage estimated at $170 mil lion. The destructive aftermath of the wind, which peaked at 116 miles per hour here and high er elsewhere, will remain for years to come. In the forests of Western Ore gon and Washington, state and federal agencies continue to race against time to salvage an estimated 17 billion board feet of blown down timber before infestations of bark beetle reach epidemic proportions.

WHY HAVE COURTS? Our courts exist to settle con troversies. Otherwise, an argu ment over who owns a hog might start a bloodshedding fued, costing many lives. Disputes between citizens are bound to occur. There must be means for their orderly and peaceful settlement. Whether the argument arises over a line fence, a fist fight, or a crash between two cars, the court is equipped to determine the dis putants' rights. Its approach to all problems is the same. First find what happened. Each dis putant can tell his story of what took place. He can call witnesses to help him establish his version. The jury then re tires and tries to agree on what took place. In addition to de ciding what took place, the jury, if it finds one party at fault, assesses the damages to which the other party is entitled. Their verdict what the jurors agree on then goes to the judge who applies the law to the jury's verdict. Sometimes the parties choose to try the case to the judge alone, without a jury. Our court system has many defects, but it is better than permitting disputants to settle their disputes by force. It is the best system for orderly settlement of disputes that has yet been devised. Without our courts and our laws, we would still be living like a pack of savages. The importance of the courts was recognized by the drafters of our state constitu tion, who wrote into it detailed provisions for the establishment and jurisdiction of the courts, its weight of 1,000 years only to ihii victim to a lesser blow a few weeks later. Foresters said the big wind weakend the giant. Another tree the 136-year-old apple planted at Fort Vancouver by the Hudson's Bay Company lost its top, but still survives. Not so the enormous dogwood which had bloomed for more than a century outside a Mil waukie home. In Salem's Willson Park, Champoeg, and other historic spots the story was the same destruction of the historic and natural beauty of the Northwest. Could it happen again? Ex perts are cautious. The factors which triggred last year's vio lencemoist warm air colliding with cold currents from the north, then churning out of a low-pressure spin-off from ex hausted Typhoon Frieda are of ten present off the West Coast. But whether the combination of factors will ever recur is pure conjecture. But little children still are frightened whenever the wind kicks up.

(UPI) -Doctors sought, through the use of a rare antitoxin, today to pre vent the death toll from a sus pected outbreak of botulism from rising above seven. Ten persons were being treat ed in hospitals here and Nash ville for the deadly food poison ing, believed contracted through packaged smoked whitefish. Nine of the patients were im proved enough to be listed in satisfactory or fair condition. But doctors at Vanderbilt hos pital in Nashville said George Breault, 54, was "showing in. creasing difficulties with his breathing." They said he prob ably would be placed in a tank type respirator. Succumbed The toll from the suspected outbreak rose to seven Wednes day night with the announce ment that a man believed to have died of cerebral hemor rhage last Saturday at Nash ville actually succumbed to botulism. Supplies of the rare and ex pensive anti - toxin were flown here from Canada and Denmark to supplement the United States' small supply. , Medical authorities here said "we believe we have enough se rum to take care of the cases we have here in Nashville" assuming there aren't many new cases. They received a par tial shipment of the anti-toxin serum from Denmark Wednes day the third load of the scarce formula in two days. The fish was tentatively link ed to the deaths of two per sons here, three in Nashville and two in Kalamazoo, Mich, in the past 11 days. Tests at the Uoiohn T.ahnrn. tory in Kalamazoo and the Food and Drug Administration facili ty in Detroit indicated type "E" botulism was present in the deaths of the Michigan couple, Mr. and Mrs. Chester O. Mitchell. Eaten Fish A spokesman here said his of fice had been informed by FDA officials in Cincinnati that the Kalamazoo deaths and those of David S. Cohen, a furniture ex ecutive, and his daughter, Amy uuui, ju, came alter uiey had eaten the fish containing the deadly type "E" poisoning. However, FDA officials in Cin cinnati said official word would nave to come from Washington. wnen me crisis came earlier this week after Cohen and his daughter ate "smoked white fish chubs" distributed in plas tic bags by Dornbos Bros.

Prison Escapee To Be Returned PORTLAND (UPI) A man who escaped from the Ohio State prison at Columbus 15 years ago will be returned there. Donald Nichols, 42, of Dow ney, Calif., has been sought by Ohio authorities since a prison break in 1948. He was serving a 10 to 25 year sentence for armed robbery. He was arrested in August in Los Angeles on a bank robbery charge. A federal indictment against him on that charge was dismissed here Wednesday by Federal Judge John F. Kil kenny on a motion from the U.S. Attorney's office. Officials said they asked for the dismis sal because of a lack of evidence. The Federal Bureau of In vestigation discovered Nichols was wanted in Ohio after exam ining fingerprints taken after his August arrest. He will face at least 16 years imprisonment in Ohio.
