QUEEN FOR A DAY Mrs. Louisa Adams of Oorris had a dream come true when she made a bid and was selected "Queen for a Day" by the audience of the nationally televised program. Emcee Jack Bailey adjusts her crown with the assistance of Maxine Reeves, head model. Young Dorris Housewife Selected On Queen For A Day Video Program Soaring Sugar Prices Forecast End Of Nickel Candy Bar By Lnllod Pre International Sugar prices soared in stores across the nation today in what could eventually mean an end to the five-cent candy bar. "We don't know where it will stop." said one chain store offi cial in Dallas. Tex., as the price of sugar climbed to 69 cents for five pounds. In many cities, housewives streamed lo markets to stock up on sugar. The hike in prices and the run on sugar seemed to in volve a complicated world situa' lion that was beyond the under standing of many homcmakers caught up in the effects. The cause of the shortage was crop failure last year in many sugar producing countries, plus Lily-White Lover May Be Lily White Liar some labor trouble in Hawaii The disappearance of Cuba's sue ar from the Western market also was a factor, but Cuba also had crop failure last year. A wholesaler in lies Moines, Iowa, said the climbing prices would also affect beverages, canned goods and other items on shopping lists. The higher prices eventually could mean the end of the five-cent candy bar, too, he said, "unless it's the size of your thumbnail." In Chicago, Phil D. Missner, sales manager for Sugar Supply Corp., listed three prime reasons for the world shortage of sugar the Cubans had a small crop be cause of poor management, two very poor winters in Europe caused poor harvests, and the so- called underdeveloped countries have become more prosperous and are increasing their trade de mands. Rising raw sugar prices in New York touched off a spurt in the sale of Hawaii sugar agency stocks with gains ranging from $3 to as much as $10 a share. It was one of the most active trad ing davs 6ince 1959. In Washington, Lawrence Myers, director of the sugar pol icy stall 01 ine Agricumire de partment, woman i mane a guess as to the length of any sugar shortage or the progress of the price spiral. He said the United States has all the sugar needed for current consumption. He said that when a hoarding movement begins, there is no way to tell how far it would go. Market experts in New York said the world-wide shortage would exist at least until sugar beet crops are harvested in both the united Mates and Europe in October. Two tickets, one costing $25 and tho other one free, figuro heavily in the life of a young housewife from Dorris. Mrs. Louise Adams will appear on the nationally televised Queen for a Day program on Thursday, (UHS Girl Scheduled For Award The Coly American Youth Award Certificate will be present ed to Carol Ruth Bousquel of Klamath Union High School at the! annual awards assembly Tuesday,!

She was elected "Queen" by audience applause, Mrs. Adams wished for food and clothing. A simple enough; wish in itself, but one which. when explained more fully, re vealed an uncommon courage and hope for the future by both. herself and her husband, Anthony. Mrs. Adams explained her wish to Bailey and the audience by telling of a fire which had de stroyed her home only a few months ago. She told of the fright-; cning experience of having to rush out of her flame-engulfed home and of not having been able to save anything except a few personal mementos.

Ev erything we had went up In smoke." After her coronation, her wish was immediately granted by! Bailey.

I By ANN LANDERS Dear Ann Landers: The nul- tiest letter in ages came from that young bride who said it's about time girls demanded the same stan dards of purity when it comes to marriage that the fellows demand of them. She claims she! held out for a "lily white lover" and got one. How do you like that for naivete? I'll het what she actually got was a lily-white liar. Someone should awaken the sleeping beauty and tell her how it really is. This is a man's world and the role of the male entitles him to privileges. No where in the Bible or in any good piece of literature is it sug gested that the male should re main chaste until marriage. Anyone who has brains will tell you that inexperience on com sides can add up to serious trou ble. Why didn't you set her straight? Welcome to the 20th Century kiddo.-FEET ON THE GROUND Dear Feet: The tired Idea that prowling around "gelling expert ence" insures sexual eompatabil ity in marriage is completely fallacious. Such experience brings nothing lo a marriage except possibly disenchantment. The basis for good sexual relationship in mar riage Is consideration, kindness and the geoulne desire to give rather than to receive. I've had some mighty sad letters from young men who meant only to sow a few wild oats and ended up with a harvest of thistles, I v ' O-Dof Warranty f' ' Extremely fast typing action I Rugged die-cent magnesium frame i j Wide carriage, takes " envelope ...standard American keyboard , Dear Readers: I had no idea there were so many noisy eaters in the world. It seems every fam ily has one and I must have heard from them ail. The majority ol people who! wrote did not like my advice. I told a 16-year-old girl I knew of no polite way to tell a father his table manners are atrocious and lo cut down on the noise. You readers informed me that there ware a variety of ways to, tell the old man lo quiet down, and you offered suggestions. The ideas ranged all the way from, "Please, father, if you don't mind can you cat a bit more quietly?" to "For Pete's sake, pa, shut up with the slurping and chew ing already. You're making me deaf." Some parents said they wel come criticism from their chil dren. One mother wrote. "Every member of the family should be free to speak up about things that bother him. It's the demo cratic way." Young people who are ashamed of their parents are in a terrible spot, Ann. How do you suppose a 16-year-old girl feels in public or at the home ol a Inend when her father eats like a pig? He puts her in an unfavorable light as well as himself." It would be ideal if the emo tional climate in ail homes en couraged every member of the family to speak freely about mat ters that bothered him. Unhappi ly, the millenium has not arrived. The girl who complained about her father's eating habits was or-! dercd to button her lip when she corrected him. Kids know when criticism is unwanted. They only create prob lems for themselves by suggest ing to a hostile parent that he improve his table manners. So my advice stands. Any teen-ager who has to enlist the help of Ann Landers to get a slob of a father to stop eating like a pig is fight ing a lost cause.
