Six States Close Woodlands; Water Supply Dwindles By United Press International Woodlands in six drought stricken Eastern states were closed to the public today. Water supplies across the Midlands dwindled to the dan ger point and forest fires in New York state were at the "explosive" stage. No relief was in sight. Light showers fell across parts of the Midwest Thursday but did little to break the weeks-long drought which has I turned forests and fields into tinder boxes. A thunderstorm at St. Louis, Mo., Thursday , night was blamed for setting at least two fires by lightning. Forests and woodlands were closed to the public in New York, Connecticut, Massachu setts, New Hampshire, West Virginia, and Vermont. Boy Scouts were encouraged not to plan camping trips in Ohio woodlands and hunting seasons were cancelled in many areas. Nearly 125 fires were burning in New York, with 26 new blazes reported Thursday. Con servation commissioner Harold G. Wilm said conditions were "explosive" and asked all resi dents of the state to obey a leaf-burning ban. Helm said a thick haze has shrouded much of New York's woodland and made it difficult for fire fighters to spot new out breaks quickly. There were Mfi new fires in Massachusetts Thursday, and 102 burning in West Virginia.

Counseling Topic Of Conference on Oregon Campus EUGENE Counseling should be a method of bringing about the maximum development of every child, not just the ones "with problems," maintains a University of Oregon Guidance Center counselor, Dr. Leona Ty ler. Speaking at the Elementary School Guidance Conference at the university, Dr. Tyler gave impetus to the need for coun selors in today's complex soci ety. Diverse ethnic backgrounds, social and physical mobility and accelerated rate of change in the United States create more problems and make greater de mands on a child, the counselor said. "It is important that a young person have some idea where he's heading," she said. "Guid ance can facilitate individual development . . . help an indi vidual find his own way." Talk With Others The tendency is to become involved solely with persons in difficulty, but ideally, a trained guidance director should also talk to those who do not think they have problems. This would help all young people achieve their greatest potential, indicat ed Dr. Tyler. About 50 guidance directors, counselors, state department personnel and elementary school personnel from Oregon, Wash ington, Wyoming and Montana attended the two-day conference. Consultant was Dr.' Anna R. Mceks, director of guidance for Baltimore County Schools, Mary land. She is chairman of a na tional study on elementary school guidance being conducted by the American School Counselors association.

Nol matter how careful 1 am, she flares up at me. Frieda C. I've been married only three months. In that time my mother-in-law has paid us only two visits, but I dread the next one so much that I'd like to get a few things settled while we're all still friends. She made me set the table with our good linens, china, and silver, which I had all packed away, and she changed my menu from indi vidual salads to a huge bowl of greens. I want no more ad vice. Mrs. A.C. I'm surprised to learn that Frieda feels I "made" her do things my way; I'm sure I simply suggested how I'd do things if I were she. Long ago I resolved to try to be a model mother-in-law, not butt in, just encourage my daughter-in-law's efforts. B u t Frieda must have heard so much about terrible relatives that she considers anything I say as interference. The Council: This time we're with Mom-in-law. She may well be the victim of The Legend which holds that all mothers-in-law are ogres. But only the very young accept legends as truth. As Frieda matures she should relax enough to see this well meaning mother as a friend and champion. Here are the stages to speed an "easy" relation ship: (1) Chop off the unfair chip-on-shoulder.

The people of those countries have losl a guiding light to freedom the complete, true knowledge of all thai is happening in the world. These countries have lost their freedom of the press because their governments know that what Thomas Jefferson said was true: "When the press is free and every man able to read, all is safe." The leaders of these countries know thrt sup pressing news supresses not just the people's voice In government, but the people themselves. In our nation, freedom of the press and public education were made an integral part of our way of life, because our Founding Fathers, also, knew that Thomas Jefferson's statement was true. And they planned our government to rest in the hands of the people. The job of making all of the news available to every man who can read rests mainly upon our newspapers. Day in and day out, they are able to report the news completely, as only newspapers can deliver ill And the people of our nation want not only ac curate news, but all of the news. The proof: Since 1920, during a period which introduced both radio and television, newspaper sales more than doubled every day over 60 million copies of 1,800 daily newspapers are circulated. That's more copies than the number of families in our nation. We Salute Our Carriers Upon the Occasion of National TOMORROW-SATURDAY! Medford To keep up with this demand for news, the news paper industry has been continually working to improve their service by introducing the most up.lo-date communicatilons and production meth ods. . - .
