It took an hour to get the job done, and at 3:30 p.m. the statue was again hoited atop the pedes tal and quickly bolted in place. While the trip to Salem was un eventful, it was not without wor ries for the workmen involved. A special low-bed trailer was used, and the huge statue made its way under freeway overpasses with little more than an inch to spare. About 50 tourists and state em ployes were on hand to watch the slatue being replaced. OUR NEW WASHINGTON COLUMNST j1'-!!" -M inn n -j William S. Whit B-2? mi wk ut.

White" Three Times Each Week Ifcralii ani.$kt Starting Sept. 3 By ANN LANDERS Dear Ann Landers: I'm a 17- year-old boy who hopes you can solve my problem or lead me to someone who will. My voice is high-pitched and weak. 1 sound like a girl. It has always been this way, b u t it seems to be getting worse. I'm becoming so self-conscious about it that I never answer the phone unless I absolutely have to. This is not my imagination, Ann. People are always mistaking me for my younger sister. Opera tors frequently say. "Yes, ma'm." I hate to speak in class be cause ot my voice. .My grades slipped last year because I'd rath er shake my head no than to give the right answer. People say I'm not bad looking. I have a good build, am a neat dresser and have a pleasant per sonality, but my voice is ruining my life. Can you suggest help (or me? DAVID Dear David: First gilta doc tor and find out If there is some tning organically wrong. If you get a clean bill of health ask the doctor to suggest a speech clinic, You can strengthen your- vocal cords just as you can strengthen other parts of your body. Voice lessons will give you con fidence. Your Insecurity Is a ma jor part of your problem. Dear Ann Landers: The letler about the neighbor with 38 cats was too much. These people never had it so good. Please ask them if thev would like to trade houses with us. For five years we have lived next door to a character who has parlayed two poodles into 48 dogs of different sizes, colors and breeds (German Schnauzers, Brit tany Spaniels and Toy Poodles.) This is asking a great deal of a five-room bungalow. The enterprise is advertised as follows in the local paper "Stud service, clipping, and puppies available." The stench is unbearable especially on hot days when the wind is from the south. The yapping and barking is enough to drive a person to the brink, which is where 1 am at the moment. Yes, we have complained to the authorities and the situation has been investigated. But it was de cided that the people are operat ing within the law since their dogs are a "hobby." When the ads were presented as evidence that they are also in busi ness, we were told that it is per fectly all right to make money on hobby. What do we do next? DOG TJHED Dear Tired: Organize the neigh borhnod for some red-hot political action. If enough of you put heat on the city council or (he zoning board you will probably get results. Dear Ann Landers: This prob lem concerns my brother Tim w ho is 11 years old. Or perhaps my mother is the real problem. Tim is dreadfully overweight. He has been putting on the pounds steadily since he was about years old. Now he is so heavy he looks terrible. The boy cats all day long and mom takes delight in getting him to clean his plate. Then she piles on more food. I have told her she should put Tim on a diet and 'she" says, "It's only baby fat. He'll outgrow it." I'm deeply concerned about this because I know it is unhealthy for anyone to carry around so much excess weight. Please tell me what should be done. TIM'S SISTER. Dear Sister: Your brother should be put on a diet by a dnc lor. This is no baby-fat problem. The hoy probably eats out of frus tration and anxiety. Your physi cian will tell your mother If diet is sufficient or If the hoy needs professional help, as well Ann Landers will be glad to help you with your problems Send them to her in care of this newspaper enclosing a stamped. self-addressed envelope. Director Picked For Laboratory CORVALLIS i UPD Curtis M. Everts Jr. w ill be director of the planned Pacific Northwest Water Laboratory at Oregon Slate Uni versity here.

Post and Times-Star, but obviously he has lost none of his zest for needling ixiliticians. There was a story the other day to Ihe effect that he had promoted a campaign to have candidates for local offices in the Covington area take an 1Q test. Their average grade was 19.3, which is slightly below the intel ligent rating for key-punch oper ators. This confirms a long standing theory of mine. I won't discuss the theory here however, for (car of offending llio key-punch operators. At any rale, now that Trimble has opened lite door, it seems to me that slops should Ik taken to have Ihe IQ test plan adopled on a national level. I In (act, I have gone to the trouble of drawing up some sample questions that might start the ball rolling. They are intended to test the political aptitude of candidates lor Congress.

The entire northwest is now flagged as a oritical fire hazard area This summer there is enough dead timber lit tering the forest floor in the Pacific Northwest to build almost a year's supply of new homes. Hot winds and low humidity have dried this blow-down to the ignition point. Right now it's ready to fuel one of the worst forest fires on record. If a fire gets started in this debris, mil lions of acres may be devastated and whole communities could be burned out. For this reason, the state forester has closed much wider areas of both public and private forest lands to public use. These fire closures will run through September, and longer if necessary. They are absolutely vital to preven tion of a major fire disaster this year. Your help is needed. Please respect all areas of closure. Report all "smokes" you see when traveling through forest areas. Whenever possible build campfires only in facilities provided for them. Make doubly sure they are out when you leave. Never leave any fire unattended. Watch matches and cigarettes more carefully than usual. With your help we can prevent a major fire disaster this year and con tinue to enjoy the benefits of our forest resources wood, water, wildlife, rec reation and payrolls.
