Vinson, McClure Chosen Boy, Girl Of September Doctor Hits Mental Care PORTLAND (AP)-Dr. George Saslow. head of the department of psychiatry of the University of Oregon Medical School, called Thursday for an end-to what he called a double standard In the care of mental patients. Saslow, speaking to the Western Regional Conference of the Na tional Association for Mental Health, said a patient's treatment too often Is determined by how much he can pay. "We need more knowledge. more money and more facilities if we are to make any real progress," Saslow said, but at the same time he warned that more money Is not always the answer. Bad practices in psychiatry need to be changed, he said. Giving three times, as much money to a hospital which is not doing good job will not neces sarily make it do a better job of helping its patients, he said. in salaries, and the increase of new supplies needed for the dif ferent departments. The Home Economics Depart ment is up $900, because of a newly-created two-teacher department. The Math Department is up $900. because more students are taking math courses and using more sup plies. Music is up $1,000, because the budget was cut last year and this year it was felt the money at present high level. Science is up $2,300 to equip another class room. The library budget is up $1,100 to maintain the standard set by the State Accrediting Agency. Pupil transportation is up $19,494 largely due to the replacement of one of the buses. Physical Edu cation is increased by $200,295 However, the athletic department is self-maintained with the excep tion of $4,000. aMMlellSUSBM BARBARA VINSON Barbara Vinson, senior, one of Oregon's two representatives at Girls' Nation in Washington, D.C. this past summer, and Larry Mc Clure, another senior, who is star fullback en the Pelican football team, were named girl and boy of the month for September.

PAGE t HERALD AND NEWS, Klamatk Fsjls, Oregon Sundsy, October 1, 1M1 - Portland Zoo Railway kbo3 'Profil PORTLAND. Ore. (API It IS rare, indeed, that a new railroad is established, and rarer, still, that it makes a profit. But a new one here is doing a brisk, profit able business. Its name is the Portland Zoo Railway, and its trains glide and chug through the woods and around the animal dens of the zoo. Last year, the railroad carried a quarter of a million passengers. This year it is doing even bet ter. The railway has two main trains. One, a streamliner pulled by a diesel locomotive, carries passengers a mile and a half through the woods to a point over looking the city. The other, brass-trimmed, pot-bellied steam locomotive with a flaring smoke- Barley Sale Gets' Underway PORTLAND (AP) The Com modity Credit Corporation was to offer some 50,000 bushels of bar ley for sale in Portland today The barley is being sold under the 1961 feed grain program, said Sydney Harris, director of the Portland Commodity office of the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service. The sale of the barley under this program first was announced about two weeks ago. The barley was scheduled to go up for sale at 2 p.m. today at prices' to be announced at that time.

Line TJirce Years Old The. first run over the narrow- gauge tracks was made June 8, 1958. The line has been growing steadily since with more track. more rolling stock. v There is a trolley for Very, lm-! portant People that zips along on! special trips. A fire train this is edge-of-the- forest country races by, its siren screaming, its red 800-gallon tank car glinting brightly in the sun. It was built as a gift by a timber company. - A work train that carries tools and workmen for maintenance and repairs also was a gift. But this is a regular railroad operation, scaled down in size for 30-inch rails instead of the stand ard 56'i. The passenger cars are five feet wide and 40 feet long. The diesel engine weighs Wk tons. the steam engine with tender filled nearly 12 tons. Has Mail Contract The railway has a special dig nity, too: A $l-a-year contract with the United States government to carry mail. Letters dropped into slots in the sides of the locomotives get the official postmark, "Portland Zoo Railway, Oregon." All of this started when Port- landers voted $4 million for a new zoo. One" of the directors, Edward Miller, an idea man and news paper executive, suggested a rail road as an extra attraction. The board gave him $25,000 and told him to go ahead. Miller enlisted John H. Jones, manager of the Northern Pacific Terminal Co., and the two set out to build a railroad. Before they got the first train moving some 25,000 people had contributed in one way or another. Youngsters in central Oregon scooped up lava rock for the road bed and got a railroad and a trucking firm to haul it free.

Students Paint Murals For Something To Do ELYR1A, Ohio (UP1) - The home of a family here is becom ing a showplace because 15-year- old high school sophomore "want ed something to do." Mike Katz has been decorating his parents' home since June by painting murals on the walls. So far he has painted them in three different rooms. He began by painting a picture of a calypso drummer on one wall in his bed room. The mural stands -morel than six feet high and is done in red, yellow and black. In his parents room he did a mural of an apple blossom branch with colors of blue, pink and green. His latest artistic effort was a scenic landscape on the closet door in the living room. The land scape is painted in brown, bronze and gold. He completed it in two davs. The young artist says he sketch es the mural with a pencil be fore painting them. "Then, if they pass my approv al, he paints them on," his moth er, Mrs. Michael Katz, laughingly added. However, she indicated she is quite happy to have a talented decorator in her own home. She; says "the murals add to t h e brightness of the house." Mike doesn't limit his talent to one type of art. He also drew up the plans for and constructed a fish pond in the family's back yard. The kidney-shaped pool is partially surrounded by a rock garden. He also drew pencil portraits of President Kennedy and Vice PreskMit Johnson, which he sent to the White House. Two weeks' later he received a letter' of thanks. That, properly framed now hangs proudly over his bed Mike also enjoys sculpturing and has some of his works in this field on display in his home Otherwise, he is a normal happy teenager interested in tennis, ice skating and basketball. He plans to major in art in college and become either a com mercial artist or a magazine illustrator. Hilton Suit Arguments End PORTLAND (AP) Court ar guments ended for the time being Thursday in a suit filed bv the prime contractor on the Hilton Hotel project in Portland. The contractor, Anderson-West- fall, Inc., Portland, is seeking to rescind its contract because of what it said was unreasonable de lay and expense caused by struc tural changes in the building. The plaintiff and defense at torneys were scheduled to ex amine a transcript of the case and submit written briefs to Circuit Judge Arrto H. Denecke Denecke will give his decision after hearing additional oral ar guments. A marine contractor turned his designer loose to help with the streamliner. Railway executives, trainmas ters, clerks and road foremen of the area's major railroads turned up and joined local businessmen on their days off in using pick axes and shovels and mauls. The schools sprouted stock sales men. (One share ot stock and a ride for a dollar.) An auction held in cooperation with the adjacent Oregon Museum of Science and Industry sold such things as a $4,000 diamond brooch, a Bavarian beer dinner for 75, a luncheon date with Miss Amer ica, a dinner with the governor and his wife, an Australian wal laby. All were donated and prof its bordered on 100 per cent. The auction is repeated each year. Profits alone won't do it unless growth costs are held down. Right now directors are looking for some twoxle truck assemblies (those tilings that hold the wheels to getherwhich normally cost $3,000 and more. They say that some where in the United States there must be junked narrow-gauge cars with truck assemblies they can get for salvage prices. Searches like this are part of the zoo train's' happy growth. That is' why the Portland Zoo Railway's ledger sheet shows a value of nearly $600,000 and few debts. Operationally, it is doing well' too. There is an astonishingly large roll of unpaid workers who keep the trains running. Among them are a retired pharmacist, an In terstate Commerce Commission inspector, an electrical contractor and, naturally, a retired railroad er. Gross revenues last year were $80,209 and net profit after depre-, ciation $8,824. Take It From Kathy By KATHY PETERSON Q I'm a sophomore in high school and I want very much to be a nurse. My parents say "No!" What should I do to change their minds? Karen. Dear Karen: Hope you aren't one of the people guilty of making up one's mind before you have the facts. You'd have a giant-sized problem if you were completing your senior year and all set to start that career I As things stand though, there's enough time for both you and your parents to find a happy solution, Karen. Do some thing positive about it take the necessary science courses and prove you can handle them well. Without this aptitude you would be lost in nurses' training. It's a good general background for any career. ....As soon as you're old enough your parents will probably okay a' job as nurses' aide since this is an excellent chance to get a broad view of nursing. You see things as they really are not at all like they appear in the movies. Give your parents credit for a little experience. Check out their career suggestions. If, after doing this, you still are serious about a' nursing career, they will know that you have thought it out and not made a snap decision. Just remember, " 'Taint a crime to change ydur mind." One last thought If your high school offers guidance counselling, take advantage of it. Counsellors are good listeners, and believe me, they can help. .
