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.

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

as would duties relating to es

SOUTHERN PACIFIC AGREED LONG AGO TO ALL THE
RECOMMENDATIONS MADE BY PRESIDENT KENNEDY'S EMERGENCY BOARD
THE RAILWAY CLERKS' UNION
REFUSES TO ACCEPT THE BOARD'S RECOMMENDATIONS
Southern Pacific accepted in good faith the recommendations of Presi
dent Kennedy's Emergency Board that clerical employes displaced by
changing conditions should be provided reasonable income protection.
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.
