Gift Giveaway Inconsiderate By ANN LANDERS Pear Ann Landers: Our 15-year-old eon has a job after ichool and on Saturday. Bruce is a sen sible, thoughtful boy who saves his money wise- iy- ... He is very fond of his old- 1 er brother; in L'i I fact, he look un l.M to him as an idol. Bruce bought his older broth er an electric razor which was an expensive gift for a boy of 15. His brother seemed pleased at the time but I happen to know he never used the gift. Last week I learned he re wrapped the electric razor and gave it to his boss as a birthday present. When I asked him about it he said he was short of money and this was an emergency meas ure. If Bruce finds out he'll be heartbroken. What shall I do? E. J. L. Dear E.J.L.: Explain to the older boy that there's an even greater emergency on the home front. Lend him the money, U necessary, but see to it that he replaces the electric razor im mediately. Bruce must never know his brother was so thought less and Inconsiderate. Dear Ann Landers: You're the only one I can ask for help. When you hear the problem you 11 un derstand why. I started to go with Nick when I was 19. He was 27 and had already been divorced twice. He! never talked to me much about his ex-wlves but both were older than he was and both were alco holics. It -sounds terrible when I write it, but at the time it didn't seem wrong he asked me to move Into his place and I did. The landlady assumed we were married and so did everyone else. I posed as Mrs. joint savings account, charge accounts, the whole works. That year we had a baby boy. The next year a girl. Now we have four lovely children and are very happy. But he still has not married me, I've taken It easy on the sub ject because I know his former marriage experiences have made him afraid. Yesterday I brought it out in the open. I told him our children are growing up and we MUST got married. He says our friends and family would be shocked and it would hurt him with his boss if he knew We had been living together illegally all these years. Please tell me what to do. I'll bet you've never had this prob lem before and you'll have to hunt plenty for an answer. LYNN Dear Lynn: I get this prob lem only about twice a week. 1 have an answer all ready. Here It Isi Marriage laws vary from state to state. Go to your city hall and consult the marriage li cense department. Ask if a cere mony can be performed and the records kept private. If they can do it seek no further. If not, go to the nearest large city where you are not known. And may I be the first (and probably the only one) to congratulate you? Dear Readers: This is a plea from me to you. Please, please don't send money with your letters asking for ad' vice. I am well paid by the news papers that print the column. Often I suspect the reader has sent the money at some sacrifice to himself. It makes me unhappy when I find silver coins scotch taped to the letters and no ad dress, which makes It impossible to return. I am deeply touched by your expressions pf appreciation, but your written thanks is enough. P.S. This month I'm sending such contributions to the Cerebral Palsy Fund. Oregon Warden Claims Death Penalty Unfair Are your parents too strict? You can benefit from the expe riences of thousands of teenagers if you write for Ann Landers' booklet, "How To Live With Your Parents," enclosing with your re quest 20 cents in coin and a long, self-addressed, stamped envelope. Ann Landers will be glad to help you with your problems. Send them to her in care of this nows paper enclosing a stamped, self- addressed envelope. SALEM (AP) - The death pen alty is unfair because it hils the poor and not the rich, Warden Clarence Gladden of the state pen itentiary said Thursday night. "I think the person without money, friends and influence of ten has to pay the supreme pen alty whilo the person with money. friends and influence does not," Gladden said. Gladden told a House Judiciary Committee that he would vote to abolish the death penalty. Gladden said between 1930 and 1939 there were 167 cases of homi cide in Oregon while there were only 72 between 1950 and 1959 a 56 per cent drop. The warden said he felt the cer tainty of punishment would be more of a detriment than capital punishment. Sewer Advance By Tin; ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON (AP) - The! Community Facilities Administra tion Thursday advanced $3,500 to Newport, Ore., to plan improve ment of the town's sewer system. The advance Will be repayable when construction of the $344,000 project starts June 1, 1962. MM TDNITI 4(41 CMthtMM Shw Jot. fc $v turn 11:4 J LAST 2 DAYS! coiokScope n PiERft SEETHING ADVENTURE! TEMPESTUOUS ROMANCE! PRIMITIVE THRILLS! Congolese On Rampage LEOPOLDVILLE, The Congo (AP) Congolese soldiers, appar ently bored with waiting for the start of a military offensive, ram paged through the town of Lisala looting property and molesting women, the United Nations re ported (today. A Malayan officer of the small U. N. contingent In tho town tried to contact the local district com missioner but the Congolese sol diers stopped him from getting to the commissioners office. The civilian population gath ered together Thursday for an an gry counterdemonstration and marched through the town, threat ening to attack the soldiers. The situation appeared to have quieted by nightfall. Lisala lies in the eastern area of Equator Province, where the Leopoldville army commander, Gen. Joseph Mohutu, has gathered soldiers for an invasion of Lumumba Oriental Province. The U.N. military commander, Gen. Sean McKcown of Ireland, conferred with Mobutu Tuesday but told newsmen he had been un able to secure firm pledges that Mobutu would not attack. ' ' The U.N. spokesman quoted un confirmed reports that detach ments of Lumumba soldiers had penetrated into Kasai Province and reached the vicinity of Lulun bourg, the provincial capital. A minimum 15-year term for first degree murder would be a proper detriment, the warden raid. He said he did not feci that any more than 15 years would help and might hinder rehabilita tion as a minimum sentence. Life term prisoners, the warden said, are often model prisoners and the hope of parole helps to keep them that way. Sen. Monroe Sweetland, D-Mil-waukle, said he believed that cap ital punishment stands in the way of better justice because grand juries, district attorneys, judges and juries are reluctant to im pose the death penalty. 1 The hearing was on a proposed resolution that would give the electorate a chance to vote the requirements for capital punish ment out of tho Oregon Constitu tion. Also before the legislature is a bill that could become law only with a constitutional change per mitting the death penalty for treason and for persons convicted of murder while serving a life term in prison. Former Rep. Fred Meek, a Portland Druggist, said he did not oppose the principle of doing away with capital punishment but said the public wants assurance that persons convicted of murder will be put away for a long term Meek said there is a need for a mandator)' minimum term of 25 years not just the present sev en-year minimum. H. M. Randall, director of pa role and probation for the state, said that before parole the aver age sentence works out to 12 years for persons convicted of murder. y ( .ETSiiL. f"l j . i ' ' 1 p i BwHlit.(ith""ii"OmiMili"t t'n-'f it,' id inniTiit miiiuBfcir.fflfl Winin.pWi rfwn iiirriffili GETTING READY for the Camn Fire Girls cane PAGE Z; HERALD AND NEWS, Klamath Falls, Ore.

A total of 500 cases con taining 10,000 Boxes of mints were ordered. , Camp Fire Girls Poised For Mint Day Operation Saturday is "M Day" for hun dreds of local Camp Fire Girls and Blue Buds, their younger counterparts. They will augurate their annual mint candy sale then. The girls in pairs will ring doorbells in their neighborhoods offering to their neighbors the luscious wafers that have become traditional favorites locally. All the girls will dress in their colorful Camp Fire uniforms and each will carry' a red, white and blue mint kit, each loaded with boxes of candy that sell for a dollar each. The sale has been authorized by the Klamath County United Fund, of which CFG is a partici pating agency, and by the city council. Hundreds of cases of the candy have been delivered this week to the homes of group leaders by a committee of Camp Fire dads and by Orval T. Taggart, sale chairman. Those assisting have been Oren Gossett, Joe Matlick, Donald Schortgen, James Ray, Dr. F. W. Dean, Elwin Brown, Howard Ami- don, Dr. Bernard Schiff, Gene Bailie, Frenchie Richard, Les Bridge, Jack .Roper, Larry French, Delbert Folk and Louise Natale. All profit from the sale will be spent locally. Each Camp Fire group gets to keep eight cents of the profits from each box sold and the remainder will be add ed ' to the agency'fc operating budget that helps maintain and extend the CFG program in the county. The Camp Fire Girls are cur rently celebrating 50 years as an organization.' The organization during that period has 'offered activities which are designed to help girls fulfill the Camp Fire Law worship God, seek beauty, give service, pursue knowledge, be trustworthy, stay healthy, be a good worker and be happy. All girls seven through high school age are eligible for membership. Support for the organization comes largely from United Fund, but as is true with other grow ing local organizations, addition al funds are needed to supple ment the general operating budget. SALEM (AP) The question before the House and Senate: Shall the Chinook salmon be named the official Oregon fish Sen. Andrew 3. Naterlin, D- Newport, in Senate Joint Resolu tion 26, says: "Whereas there has been designated an official flower, bird and tree. ... An official fish follows properly, says Naterlin, and as properly it would need to be the Chinook salmon. "Just about every Oregon stream has salmon," he says, and adds that what with depletion be cause of dams and other things this is a good time to call it to people's attention. The Oregon Wildlife Federation asked for the resolution. "They tell me California and Washing ton have state fish," said the sen ator, who conceded, "I don't know what they are." (In California it's the California golden trout; in Washington, the steelhead. There is one more: in New Mexico Police Tell Of Activity TULELAKE A complete report of city poke arrests for the past year was presented to Tulelake City Council by police commis sioner, Lyle Sherer, at the Feb. 20 meeting. During 1960-61 there were 18 arrests for intoxicated driving; 96 drunk; 24 disturbing the peace; four theft; three robbery outside; 18 vagrancy; five fraud; one drunk driving, felony; one hit and run, ielony; one cniia boating: one child neglect; one suspicion and nine violations of the liquor laws. Samples of the city water sup ply were tested according to Cali fornia State requirements. The monthly test showed no evidence of contamination. Library grounds were discussed with landscaping to begin soon. No official committee or group has taken the helm for this proj ect as yet. Shrubs for the! grounds will be taken from the old high school building which Is being razed. the cutthroat trout is official.) Salmon come quickly to mind in Oregon's Statehouse. On the carpeting in the Senate chamber a salmon is pictured leaping from a stream. Perhaps it Is a ChinooK. Records do not say. Over the west entrance to the Statehouse, three salmon are headed north. Records say they are indeed Chinook. Purists raised a question on this in 1937 when the Capitol was new, What were salmon doing headed north when that would put them on a downstream run in the near-i by Willamette? State Archivist David C. Duni way, dusting on tne records, says when New York artist Eric Ellerhusen was commissioned to do the salmon and confessed he had never seen one, a fine Chi nook was iced and sent East as his model. Direction of the Willam ette's flow seems not to have in terested him. It has been quite a time since Oregon lawmakers were con cerned with a problem of the sort raised by Joint Resolution No. 26, and then the choice was as obvi ous. The Douglas fir was named the official tree in 1939. (Washing ton, with perhaps an equal claim to it, went for the hemlock). In 1927 the legislature had a double chore. It named a state VanOrnian's song, "Oregon, My Oregon," and a state bird, the Western meadow-, lark. It has been joined since on the meadowlark by Wyoming, Ne-. braska, Montana, Kansas and North Dakota. The state flower came early. The Oregon grape was chosen in 1899, an era of much flower-choosing in state capitols. After getting a state fish Ore gon still will lag. It has no state animal. A few states do. And Wis consin even has two the badger and the white tailed deer. What is the importance of this sort of thing? Well, says Naterlin. in .support of a state fish, it will advertise an economic and recre ational resource of the state; mav do for Oregon what the potato has done for Idaho. - ..BB1I -. mow ' Sove ncVf RWi'.wS truck r Lo9 w .NS Locot m o-n-fl A- tf I f ,AU"U I 1 Your 31 Ideola 61 Upset ""5?
