A neighbor said George got mad over sale of a pet. A sister blamed the measles. Farmer Cal Escue, who lives in the remote Ezekiel Branch section of Lincoln County near the Lacvs. said George threatened to go to ned it nis lather sold a pet calf. His father sold it. So George went to bed. George's sister, Gertie, didn't see it that way. She said George was "a' big, stout fellow" before the whole family came down with the measles one year. "He followed those ridges and made a regular path up and down them hunting. He loved lo hunt possum, squirrel and coon. He was strong as a young bull and never sick or poorly. "They put us to bed but we all got up later that is, all ex cept George. He couldn't get up. He lost his talk, too. A lot of peo ple thought he was just acting contrary like, but I knew better. He stayed in bed even when spring plowing time came. "Pap, he knew something was wrong with George then because he was not a lazy boy. Well, sir, I have never known what was wrong with George, except that the measles did it. A week ago, George became ill. possibly with pneumonia. Sunday night he died, in the bed he lay in 42 years.

"I think we'll find jobs for i'bout 100 more." Sharp said. This would reduce the casualty list to iround loo. Some, mostly oldsters, have retired. Sharp has no worry about his own job. A veteran of 22 years on Capitol Hill, he is lop aide lo Hep. W. R. Poage iD-Texi who is back for another two-year term. When a senator is turned out of office, some 15 hired hands have lo look for a job. When a House member is beaten, four lo live office helpers lose out. Hardest hit are administrative assistants to senators and top sec retaries to congressmen. New members like lo bring in their duel aides troin their home areas. "The fellows who have held top-paying jobs are reluctant lo take low-paying assignments."

There is POSITIVELY NONE lETTERt SALEM (APt - The Nation's Probation and Parole Assn. rec ommended today that Oregon move toward a full-lime parole board. The association, which has com pleted a long survey of Oregon's parole system, also recommended a big expansion in the parole pro gram. The present three-member pa role board is non-salaried. The association recommended that, as an intermediate step toward ob taining a lull-lime salaried board. Oregon have a full-time board chairman plus two part-time mem bers. The association noted much progress since it made its last survey in 1953. But it found that the board's 52 parole officers are overworked It recommended employment of an additional 30 parole officers, that the ollicers be paid higher salaries, and that the standards for parole officers be increased It said the workload of parole ollicers should be 50 cases s month, compared with the pres ent average of 71 cases. It found thai parole officers work an average of 44 hours over lime a month. The association also suggested tna the parole system be expand ed so that many .more prisoners ic released under parole super virion, rather than have so many ': pleased after serving full sen terces. It also advocated that the parole system oe extended to countv tails and that more pre-sentence inves tigations be made for the courts Ihe association said the parole board should have more frequent meetings, and that there should he hearings on parole violation cases. It said there should be more and earlier initial parole hearings. It added that the hear ings now are too short. Gov. Robert D Holmes has lone favored a full-time narole board. The recommendations will be sub mitted lo the Legislature. Sharp said. Oldsters have trouble, loo. Most new members want young aides. Women workers have an easier tune gctnng new jobs. This is be cause most have minor assignments. New members want aides with know-how in dealing with consti tuents and federal agencies. Sharp said a new member often will lake employes from a pre decessor who wore an opposite political label. Employes, too. have few compunctions about uorking with a new boss with a different political afiilialion. However, some have drawn (he line. Quite a number of displaced corkers have found johs in pri ate industry, with trade associa tions or in the executive depart ment. Few have given up and gone back home. "You see." Sharp said, "they've all got Potomac Icier." rnV,,M'V V-sJf ,tf-j ' 7" ksrff' - -. k 1 Living Costs Continue Hike WASHINGTON (AP)-New gov ernment tigures due today may show that living costs, steady for three straight months, have start ed upward again.
