SAFETY VALVE NL EA i ef In Forest Service Dear Folks, Here I am working for a living again, but this time my work shop is outdoors among the mountains and trees instead of the inside of a store. I'm working with the Forest Ser- vice on the Mt. Hood National Forest; the (Columbia Gorge dis- trict, about sixty miles east of Port- land. At present I am staying at the Ranger station near the village of Cascade Locks. My job for the summer will be forest patrolman at Wahtum Lake which is twelve miles from the Ranger station by trail, and fifty miles by road—a mountain road and a poor one at that. At present I am doing trail maintenance work on trails lead- ing into the mountains from ‘the Columbia river highway. i I came down here by myself on May 31st as Winnie stil] has dental appointments. : Next iSaturday I am going back to Bellingham to bring both Winnie and Rogue back with me. Here where Iam stationed, I have a nice 3 room cabin made of cedar with all improvements. It sits back among ‘the evergreens about one- quarter mile from the highway. A- cross the highway is the Columbia river. is Bouneville Dam which I visited today. Of more interest than the dam to me, were the fish ladders leading around if. I stood on a platform six feet above the lad- ders and watched the salmon, sturg- eon; eels, steelhead and trout com- ing there by the hundreds. By ithe way, an accurate count is made of all fish going through ‘the ladders. The salmon and steelhead ‘would leap into. the air going over -the series of water covered steps; and to my amazement, -one salmon of about twenty-five pounds leaped right up on. the platform [I «was standing om. - I :pushed.:him back in the water and. told:him not to leap so high next time: ~~ i This is beautiful country.I'm in and I hope you will come. to see it sometime. I never saw so many or such beautiful waterfalls as there are here along the gorge. My work takes me through all the scenic places and I sure enjoy them. The streams are all crystal clear and when I'm out in the woods they provide me with the best drinking water I ever tasted. I believe 1 average hiking over ten to fifteen miles of trail every day and it’s a wonderful tonic. Al- ready my appetite has doubled, and I'm eating my own cooking at that! I have found that the ‘Forest Service is a fine organization of friendly people, very pleasant to work with. The working conditions are fine, a forty-hour week being maintained. Of course when I'm Seven miles down the road |: back “at Wahtum Lake, it will be rather difficult to get into Hood River (the nearest town) more of- ‘ten than once a week. You might say that we will be all to ourselves except for a few fishermen, hikers and campers with courage enough to make the trip into that remote section. We will have communica- tion with the Ranger Station by telephone. I will be checking all persons found within my area as to the adherance to regulations within the National Forests, and, after light- ning storms, I will station myself on Indian lookout, three miles from Wahtum to discover if any light- ning strikes causing fires within the forest. . Please pardon the writing. I squeezed the finger tip of the mid- dle finger on my left hand between two rocks one day last week and it is still stiff and sore, making it difficult for me to write.

HICKS ~~ | Health Topics By F. BUDD SCHOOLEY, M.D. HABITS AND CHARACTER Habits, personality traits and at- titudes are important factors in social adjustment. Parental wun- certainty and lack of discipline will cause children to develop a sense of insecurity. The emotional re- actions of children are patterned after social relationship in the home, and they are seriously affec- ted by parental disharmony. Many parents are intellectually and emo- tionally unfit to rear children. Par- ents should know the natural pro- cesses of development in order to give proper guidance through the early stages of childhood. The harmonizing and balancing influence of normal family life tends to decrease the incidence of nervous disorders. The mental and physical strains of modern living are contributing factors in nervous breakdowns. Persons who have a well developed personality ‘seldom experience a nervous breakdown, but they have occurred in individu- als who have had emotional in- stability. The individuality, his physical and mental] capacity, and character are responsible for the difficulty in adjustment to or ability to over- come a particular situation in life. In some cases, it is due to the ac- cumulation of physical and mental strains of great intensity. Worry and stress will cause fatigue and irritibility out of proportion to the real facts of the situation and yet without any evidence of organic disease. * The activities of the endocrine glands and their effect on the ner- vous system have a powerful in- fluence on normal behavior. Par- ents and teachers who believe that. physical punishment is indicated in certain cases should realize "that blows on the buttocks may result | LS’ C on a’ counter-offensive, marshalling in premature and exaggerated an- imation of sexual instincts. The, physical effect of whipping ‘and the .. mental association “of éngorged pel- vic. tissues and nerve excitations. may cause a powerfully developed sexual drive in later years. Parenthood demands a judicious understanding by which ideals of conduct are transmitted to children by word example. Parents who are mature in. manner and character are courteous, restrained and have settled down to an even temper- ament. An individual should strive to correct his faults of character and endure the imperfections of others for the sake of family peace. Conduct is an expression of char- acter and is determined by the habits we have acquired. ‘Charac- ter is the driving force and intelli- gence drives it to its destination. The qualities, attributes or traits of character serve as an index to the essential nature of a person. They are ‘the’ distinctive mental, physical and normal qualities be- longing to an individual. The quali- ties of character represent the stamp and estimate of individuality impressed by nature, environment, education and habit. ; Frem- Pillar To Post (Continued from Page One) The daughter of the house looked thoughtful. - Wheels went round and round, grinding out the names of various gallant youth who had been accustomed to hanging their ears to the phone for hours at a clip while the business interests frothed at the mouth and waited with patience ‘they could mus- ter for a chance to place a. long distance call. The end product of the grinding wheels was the un- pleasant conclusion, ‘This situation is going to cramp my style con- siderably,” The phone, placed on the antique black walnut, marble-topped wash- stand which is doing duty as a catchall in ‘one corner of the din- ing room, buzzed excitedly. The family made a concerted dive for new toy. ‘Mine, doubtless,” said the daughter of the house, raising the receiver from the hook. Then a peculiar expression, amazed and incredulous, flitted across her face. What the other end of the phone said was simple and unadorned, pungent and capable of no miscon- struction. It said, “Get the hell off this line.” In ‘the process of learning to identify the new call, sorting out the two short beeps from two long beeps and from one long and one short, one short and one long, we are becoming acquainted, after a fashion, with the other folks on the line. '’ One of us absentmindedly ground the little crank without first taking precaution to lift the receiver. The reaction to ‘that was, “Hey, you, leave me a piece lof my eardrum. And get the etc ete.” "A receiver lifted cautiously in answer to what sounded like two short rings, brought a weary, “It’s one of your dumb neighbors listen- ing “in.” You would go and live in the sticks. Ts it my fault?” We wére just about to embark in our’ mind a list of annoying re- marks to be used as ammunition, remarks such as, “Oh don’t mind me.” I'm’ just listening in to catch up on the neighborhood gossip,” or, “I'm about to place a long distance call’ to Charleston, and it’s going to be good: Shall I call the roll?” when a cultured vaice on the other end soothed us. It said, “I am so sorry, but I am still using the line. I "will be finished in about two minutes,. and I hope the delay. is causing you no inconvenience.” We looked at the telephone in utter disbelief. Those lovely words, like gentle rain on a parched and weary land. Maybe a party line isn’t going to be ‘so bad after all. Maybe some day we ‘11 meet the owner of that voice.
