Gertrude R. She grows
more and more bitter toward
her parents.
Vivian Y. As times goes by, I
see the damage they did.
Gertrude R. 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.

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

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.

therefore (if the temperature is
lower) the surface is not neces

mon interpretation.
Thus: "If Venus has oceans,
they could contain life.
"And they could have more

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

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

And that is just what Krafft
Ehricke would like to see.

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

Editor's note: The following
article was prepared by the
Oregon State Bar and is not
intended to be legal advice.
Persons having a legal prob
lem should consult an attor
ney. 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,

Another tree the 136-year-old
apple planted at Fort Vancouver

Not so the enormous dogwood

In Salem's Willson Park,

Rare Antitoxin
Used to Prevent
Botulism Deaths
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (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.

officials in Cincinnati that the
Kalamazoo deaths and those of
David S. Cohen, a furniture ex
ecutive, and his daughter, Amy

said here.
The Nashville deaths of R. W.
Pruter, 36, Sept. 30 and Mrs.

reported after the Cohen deaths.
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

was wanted in Ohio after exam

his August arrest.
He will face at least 16 years
imprisonment in Ohio.
