Funeral For Animals Sparks Reader's Ire By ANN LANDERS Dear Ann Landers: Are you out of your mind? I was shocked when I read that you think it's just grand to have a funeral for a cat "Powder Puff" was her name. Shortly after that you pub lished a letter in your column praising a crazy mother who had a lovely funeral for their cocker spaniel. The lids stood at the dog's grave and sang, "Oh where oh where has my little dog gone?" All this gets the nod from you, "jbut you are against spending mon ey on flowers and a beautiful ras ket for a loved one. According to you it's how we treat people when they are alive that counts. I agree in part, but I feel it's also important to treat them well when life has departed You say the dead can't smell the flowers nor can they see the plush lining of a costly casket Well, they can't hear the ser mon either. Maybe there should be no religious services either? Why don't you go back to house work? FORMER ADMIRER Dear Former: Thank you for your point of view. You write well but you don't read so hot, I'd like to make two points: 1. You are confusing a child's love for his pet with the panoply of an extravagant funeral. 2. I am not opposed to flowers or beautiful caskets. I am opposed to people hocking their eyeballs to put on funerals which are beyond their financial means, P.S. I did house work and I like writing a column better. Dear Ann Landers: A certain woman who works in our office loves to be in charge of office collections. Whenever she hears of someone who is ill, of a death in the family or an approaching marriage she takes right over. Last week one of the girls re signed to move to another city. I countf: the names of 47 peo pie whi contributed anywhere from 50 cents to $1 for the fare well gift. When the honored guest opened the package I was shocked j to see two small items which could not have cost more than So a piece. And then there was a funeral for another employe sever il months ago. This same woman collected $1 from everyone. The small bas ket of cut-flowers from 50 people was a pathetic sight. No one ever knows exactly how much she collects nor does she ever show a receipt. What can be done about this? HORN-SWOGGLED Dear Horn: Although your sus picions seem well-grounded you can't accuse the woman without solid evidence. Keep your ear V the ground and when you hear of an ap proaching event that will trigger an office collection, grab the ini tiative. Then be sure that you post the list of givers and the receipt on the office bulletin board. The contrast in proce dure will speak more eloquently than anything you could say. Dear Ann Landers: 1 get up at 6 a.m. five davs a week to fix my husband a big breakfast. On Saturdays and Sundays he doesn't go to work but he gets up just the same because he can't sleep. He expects me to get up on those days and get him the same big breakfast. I do all my own work and don't have the energy some women have. I'd enjoy sleeping a few ex tra hours but he insists it's my duty to get up and make him breakfast whether he goes to work or not. He doesn't care for church. sports or visiting friends. He spends most of his weekend in bed reading, watching TV and just sleeping. I can't go back to bed during the day because I have too much work. Do I have the right to sleep until 8 a.m. on the days my husband doesn't have to go to work?-TRUDY Dear .Trudy: .Your .husband's punishing behavior Is a symptom of a deeper problem. YflU two need the help of a marriage coun selor or a clergyman. A man who really cares about his wife would not make such unreasonable dc- High Court Orders Hew Medic Trial SALEM (L'PD The Supreme Court ordered a new trial today for two Roseburg doctors who were assessed $40,000 in damages in a malpractice- suit in Douglas County. ...... The case involved a small in fant, Daniel Willard who was the victim of hemophilia. Drs. J. M. Hutson and A. B. Monroe were ac cused of negligence is treating the baby and in failing to use proper means to stop the bleeding. The Supreme Court, in a de cision bv Justice Hall Lusk, said the question of w hether a special ist should have been called in the case was a medical question. The high court said it was an error to submit such a medical question to the jury without ac companying medical testimony. In a personal injury action, the Supreme Court reversed a judg ment in favor of Harry Peterson, whose auto struck railway telegra pher Paul A. Myhre just after he1 handed a message to a passing train in Salem. The tracks run down the center of the street. Myhre contended he was standing within a crosswalk and Peterson failed to yield right of way. The trial court removed that issue from the jury, but the Su preme Court said it was a valid jury question. A new trial was ordered. mands. He'd be delighted to let her sleep a few extra hours.

Bonifay Yancy. Pomona master, was Installing officer and Helen Schneyder was installing marshal with Mildred Largent, deputy. SALEM lUPH A sweeping reorganization pbtt for the State Land Board was announced Wednesday. All three members of the board gave their enthusiastic endorse ment to the plan, the most com plete modernization of the board in the state's history. The program calls for shifting the work load of the board to stale apencies which are expert in the various fields. Administratively t h e board would continue to (unction as at present. The program will be presented to the legislature for approval. The board, established by the Oregon Constitution, is made up of Gov. -Mark Hatfield, Secretary of State Howell Appling Jr., and State Treasurer Howard Bplton. Some members of the present board staff would be transferred to other agencies as the work load shifted, Hatfield explained. The governor stressed the board would continue to function as it now does at the administrative level, and that only the specialized work load would be shifted. Appling said such, a reorganiza tion plan had been "much discus sed" in recent years. He termed the proposal a "marvelous kind of reorganization," and said he was "completely in accord and enthusiastic in support" of t h e plan. Belton said the plan would lead to "better administration and pos sible savings." The governor said the 19G7 re organization of the Forest Man agement activities of tiie board set the precedent for the present proposal. Examples Cited Hatfield cited these examples of what was planned: Duties relating to mining would be shifted to the Department of Geology and Mineral Industries; veterans' loan activities would bo shifted to the Department of Vet erans' Affairs; forest land duties would be shifted to the Forestry Department; investments would he handled by tlie state treasurer, as would duties relating to es cheated property.

Our offer to the Union on income protection is exactly as recommended BY THE BOARD, AND IS ONE OF THE MOST LIBERAL EVER PROVIDED BY ANY INDUSTRY. Protection of people, which we want to do, is one thing. Protection of positions, needed or not, which the Union demands, is another. THE UNION'S DEMAND FOR ESTABLISHMENT OF POSITIONS FOR WHICH THERE IS NO WORK IS CLEARLY BEYOND THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE BOARD. If there are any misunderstandings of the intent of President Kennedy's Board in making its impartial recommendations, then southern PACIFIC HAS URGED AND CONTINUES TO URGE-THAT THE EMERGENCY BOARD be reconvened to review its proposals in the overall public interest. If this is not satisfactory to the Union, then we suggest arbitration. ouihern pacific
