Edltor'i Note: The guest writ

By MRS. IMOGENE RALSTON
As this is the beginning of Na
tional Library Week, it is ap
propriate to devote this column
to the Oregon Technical Institute
Library. Oregon Technical Insti
tute boasts of having one of the
best technical libraries in Oregon.
But what is a technical library,
and how is it different from the
average school library?
Primarily, a technical library
must cover material pertaining
to the classes taught. One of the
principal ways by which techni
cal persons obtain increased fam
iliarity with new developments in
their fields is through reading
new technical books, technical
journals and periodicals. The
technical student must learn to
add to his textbook knowledge in
college, or upon graduation, he
will find in this rapidly growing
scientific world, that the knowl
edge he gained in school is
quieckly becoming antiquated. The
books in a technical library must
be the newest possible in the field
covered. There must be many
journals and periodicals, as here
the newest materials is introdu
duced. The library must also fur
nish a general source of knowl
edge for the students.
Our library has approximately
Tule Post
Plans Sale
TULELAKE Members of' the
American Legion Post No. 164
Auxiliary are making plans for the
annual sale of poppies in May
with Mrs. Vera Brown, Poppy
Day chairman. Mrs. Brown gave
a report on plans at the April 9
meeting.
Mrs. Gladys Olchawa, Pan
American chairman, spoke on the
Dominican Republic, which the
members are studying this year.
A $10 donation has been sent to
the Republic through CARE (or
education.
Cash was also sent to the Hob
by Shop at the Long Beach,
Calif., Veterans Hospital to help
in therapy treatment for veter
ans. The Tulclake Auxiliary has also
aided a World War I veteran
nurse for many years. On a re
cent trip to Los Angeles, Mrs.
A. E. Ryckman contacted her in
the Veterans Hospital to take
greetings from the Tulelake mem
bership. I

Ever look at Cadillac as an economical buy? Owners do. They know that in its
relatively low first cost . . . exceptionally inexpensive maintenance , . . and traditionally high resale
value, Cadillac is a very attractive investment. If you like a wonderful buy, you're the Cadillac type.
THE OWL
HOOTS
15,000 volumes, and we subscribe
to 185 periodicals and journals
Approximately 1,500 volumes are
added each year, with diligent
weeding of older volumes going
on at all limes so the students
will find the newest material on
searching.
As the selection of technical
books should be done by someone
versed in the particular field of
study, a Faculty Library Commit
tee was formed several years ago
to aid in the selection of books.
The department head of each di
vision may be a member, or he
may select an instructor from
his division t6 be the representa
tive. A book may be suggested to
the representative by any- mem
ber of the statf, but it is not ap
proved for. purchase until the
department head has approved
the purchase, the librarian has
checked for duplication and pos
sible use, and the Dean of Allied
Arts and Engineering Associates
has approved the selection. Only
then is the book ordered.
This year, a Student Library
Committee was formed. A stu
dent interested in the library is
selected from each department
by the Faculty Library Commit
tee member. A small amount of
the library budget was given to
this group to be used to secure
books which the students see a
need for the library to own. It
was felt that in this way the stu
dents would find a new interest
in their library. They arc select
ing excellent books of general in
terest. The library is staffed with two
full-time professional librarians,
as well as part-time clerical help
and three student assistants.
When scheduling permits, library
orientation is held at the first of
the school year. In addition to
this, many instructors ask to
bring their students to the library
for at least a period of orienta
tion. It has been found that if a
student understands the library,
he will use it to his fullest ad
vantage and find it a pleasant
place to work and study. The
library is open from 8 a.m. until
9 p.m. Monday through Friday,
and on Saturday mornings.
A librarian in a technical li
brary has many different types of
requests requests for material
on oscilliscopcs, transistors, PT
fuel injection, wiring diagrams for
an automobile, Wankel rotating
engine, parasitology, bacteriolo
gy, semantics, to mention a few.
There are also the lighter types
of requests, which are harder to
locate in this type of library: how
to tie a man's tie, where the black
book is located that the 'Student
used last year, and even (the
best request yet), how do I find
out if a firefly is on DC or AC
current! So a librarian must be
prepared for anything. It is cer
tainly invigorating work trying to
keep up with a young person's
desire to Icarn.

The five men had lived together
in a house just east of San Jose,
and all worked at the nearby
B & C Farms, a truck garden.
Sheriff's deputies said there was
no apparent motive for the
killings.
Deputies said that when they ar
rived at the house after being
summoned by neighbors, Rosacia
came out of the door shooting. He
fired three shots from a .38 cali
ber pistol at DeSart, missing each
time. DeSart and Semple then
shot him down.
Rosacia apparently started his
killing spree about 5:55 a.m. as
the five men -were preparing
breakfast, deputies said. The
bodies of Mcndoza and Obania
were found in the living room,
and Ogbinar's in the bedroom.
According to neighbors, Negrillo
fled the house, followed by the
wildly shooting Rosacia. Negrillo
ran into a neighboring house and
Rosacia shot him through the
window.
Rosacia also fired at about six
other persons before deputies ar
rived, neighbors said, reloading
his five-shot revolver at least
throe times,
Sheriff's spokesmen said that
Rosacia had recently been re
leased from Agnews State Hospi
tal, a mental institution where it
was believed he had voluntarily
committed himself.
The men lived together at the
house for six years, deputies said.

Safe Deposit Box Used
To Lock Up Valuables
By ANN LANDERS
Dear Ann Landers: My hus
band has just handed me the
most cutting insult of all time.
He brought
home a safety
deposit box
with a lock big
ger than my
head.
When he got
ready for bed
this evening, he
took every-
thing out of his pockets, billfold,
checkbook, identification cards,
etc.,- put them in the box and
made a great show of locking it.
He then put the key in the pocket
ol his pajamas and pinned the
pocket together with a big safety
pin.
In aii my life I have never tak
en a thing that didn't belong to
me. I wouldn't dream of going
into his pockets or snooping in his
belongings. Our home has never
been burglarized and nothing has
ever been missing. ,
He is 53 years old and has a
good job. He has always been
moody and sort of a sourpuss but
this behavior is the worst vet.
What does it mean? INSULTED
Dear Insulted: The man sounds
more sick than ornery. If he con.
Unues this locking up ritual in
sist that he see a doctor for a
physical check up.
Phone the doctor for an ap
pointment and inform him of
your husband's odd behavior. He
will take it from there.
Dear Ann Landers: Our 18-year-
old daughter graduated from
high school last spring and didn't
want to go to college. She took a
business course and is now work
ing in an office.
At Christmas time she informed
us that she and a young man who
works in the accounting depart
ment are officially engaged to be
engaged. Don't ask me what that
means. We don't know either
She is wearing his fraternity pin
and he eats here every night.
The boy's parents live in Fort
Worth and he is planning on driv-
ing down to see them next month,
He wants our daughter to drive
with him so she can meet his
folks.
This is a 700-mile trip and
would mean two nights on the
road. My husband is against it
I am undecided. Our daughter
says we ar& living in the dark
ages. Your opinion? QUEEN
VICTORIA
Dear Vic: It would be neither
wise nor proper to O.K. a 70fl.
mile trip. It's tfio long even
in Texas.
Your daughter can fly down,
and meet his folks and then fly
home, Bui these two should not
be traveling together.
Dear Ann Landers: You must
be a sadist. What do you mean
by saying it's okay for a teen
agcr who got a failing mark to be
grounded for six weeks? A drunk
driver gets 30 days. Is this
worse :
I'm a 17-year-old boy and 1

Teachers can make a big dif
ference, too. Certain teachers are
tough graders.
Kids would do better if their
parents rewarded them for good
grades instead of punishing them

case they should have given
"Prisoner" a break and waited
to sec if she could bring up her
flunk next time. Be on our side
once, will you? GLAD TO BE

Dear Glad: "Prisoner" was
grounded because she flunked a
subject, not because she didn't
make all A's. Remember?

social life. Sorry, Bub. The ad
vice stands.
Does almost everyone have a
good time but you? If so, send
for Ann Landers' booklet, "How
To Be Well-Liked," enclosing with
your request 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 news

'Free Lot' Land Sale Scheme
Holds Snag For Purchasers
WASHINGTON (UPD - A land
sale racket that flourished hi the
twenties is reported making a
comeback in the sixties.
It is known as the "free lot"
scheme, and it works somelliinc
like this:
A person receives a letter from
a firm describing lots for sale in
some remote but sun kksed val
ley or beach, usually a consider
able distance away.
The promotion literature sug
gests that the land is a thing of
beauty, perfect for that summer
home or retirement cottage, and
that all of the utilities and other
services are in ready for the
house to go up.
Then, to entice the customer
even more, the literature says
that as a special offer for lot buy
ers, it will sell a second lot for
an extra $20, or some such insig
nificant sum.
Buyer Awakens
What really happens accord
ing to reputable realtors is that
the customer finds out that the
land he bought isn't quite as
scenic as the advertising prose
suggested.
And the clincher is that when
he is ready to pick up the deed
for that second lot, the salesman
says something like: "Oh yes, on
that second lot . . . there are a
few incidental fees we forgot to
mention with filing fees, record
ing papers and a couple other

The National Association of
Real Estate Boards says that re
ports from its members indicate
that the free lot scheme is get
ting more popular among the
confidence men who try to sell
by mail.
No one seems to know exactly
why. Perhaps, it might be be
cause some of the forces that
seemed to feed this racket 40
years ago may be present today.
Mainly, a lot of people seem to
have money to spend. And they
are infected by the bargain-hunter's
mania.
Reviews State Laws
At any rate, the National As
sociation of Real Estate Boards
sounded the warning to its mem
bers. It also tried to bring them
up to date on state laws intend
ed to catch the free-lot oper
ators. The board used information
which was collected by its State
Associations Department in Chi
cago to alert its members about
the racket.
The department reported that
the free lot scheme is specifical
ly outlawed in Indiana, Kansas,
Louisiana, Maryland, Missouri,
Nebraska, New Jersey, Oklaho

lona, California, Iowa, New York,
Ohio and Texas also have laws
which, while not specifically men
tioning the racket, appear to
classify them as illegal.
The department also pointed out
that most states also have statutes
banning misleading advertising or
the making of false promises in
the sale of real estate.
Tliese also could be used
against the free lot racketeer.
The department said its studies
show that current operators seem
to be using it to push the sale of
undeveloped land.
It suggested that its members
might want to support proposals
to tighten up state laws in this
area to help "in disciplining un
ethical subdivision developers."
