Friday. November 2:1, 1073 Pago 14 The DAILY JOURNAL. Flat River, Mo. OBITUARIES Shades Of Arnold! This Packer Not In Green Bay HELEN AND SUE BOTTEL Generation Parents Have Their Say (Part 4) The proker shares Tim's bed and otherwise does what all good house pets are supposed to do, say Charlie and Verna Andersen, Tim's parents. Tim acquired the pig while visiting a relative in Colorado last summer.

He says he had dreamed for years of having such companion. Tim says Packer strolls about on a leash and defends against intruders. How? Just by walking fast toward them. Packer is five months old and gaining four or five pounds a "He'll grow to about 800 pounds," says Tim. "The size VIRGIL MOSSBERGER Virgil Harold Mossberger of Iron Mountain Lake was born at Grayville, Illinois August 22, 1902 and died at St.

Ambulance Calls; Reed Brent was removed from Farmington Community Hospital to Medicalodge.

Louis. Terre Chamber Rap9 cation with your children?" and queried specifically as to whether they could talk easily to their teenaged children on such subjects as sex, VD, drug abuse, birth control, leaving home, interracial dating and homosexuality, a whopping 87 per cent answered "yes." But answers to the next question: you think they want to discuss these things with YOU?" negated 41 per cent of the first responses and indicated that their greatest worries were "Noncommunication" and "Rebellion against Authority." It should be noted hat several factors appear to influence liberal versus conservative thinking. Age, of course, is one: worry over teen sex practices and dress styles rose about 15 per cent between under-40-and over-50-year-olds. Working wives showed up about 10 per cent more liberal than their stay-at-home sisters. They also reported better communication with their offspring.

High- and low- income parents recorded the same concern for their youngsters but those earning under $10,000 a year were markedly more conservative, except in insistence on virginity before marriage. More low-income people had tried pot, but 31 per cent fewer than in the group wanted penalties for private use lowered. Tomorrow we will discuss the most significant and conclusive results of this survey the overall parental view of its relationship with the younger generation.

A severed human ear and a lock of red hair recently were received through the mail in Rome along with a letter saying that the items were proof the boy had been kidnapped. The boy's mother, former acress Gail Harris, appealed over Italian radio Thursday, begging the kidnapers to return her son and "conclude this painful ordeal." A typewritten letter accompanying the pictures and signed "The Kidnapers" said: "We amuse ourselves cutting your son up piece by piece to send to you. We are not sadists, but the family insists on dealing with us as if we were little boys, and in their opinion, ignorant." The diamonds used for phonograph styli, or needles, weigh about HOOth of a carat. Points are polished to an accuracy of a thirtieth the thickness of a human hair. Getty Continues Refusal To Pay Ransom Money bother us just more pet to love, I guess." Mrs.

Andersen says Packer is friendly enough with the family although he owes total allegiance to Tim. "I've spoiled him some," she says. "For Thanksgiving, I cooked him some corn bread special and he spent all day-following me around the kitchen rubbing up against me to show his appreciation." The family says Packer presents only two problems: food and travel. His cracked-corn and barley chow, which disappears from his bowl at a 15-pound-a-day clip, requires a weekly drive membership also expressed a feeling that the chamber itself should start playing an active role in the development problem. The industrial committee will review what tools are now on hand for the city and start the wheels in motion to get those things that are needed.

This will include a plan to finance the contuction of a building to house a new industry if this is something the group finds would be helpful. A review of the need for mobile home courts developed the feeling that a need is present for. a well designed mobile home court that could be made available to citizens at a reasonable cost. Two groups at the meeting indicated that planning for two mobile home parks was currently going on. One of these was said to have over 100 pads and the other to be over 300 pads.

The chamber also approved the writing of a letter to Boy Scout Troop 445 expressing the chamber's appreciation for the cleaning and restoration of the American Legion Memorial at the east edge of the community. Members of the chamber board reported that the membership in the group has grown from 20 members in 1972 to a new level of 72 members in 1973. The officers point to this as a sign of the increased interest in the chamber and the board now hopes they can convert this interest into active work, planning the growth of the community. GRASSY KEY, Fla. lAP) -When Tim Andersen's pet wants to step outside for a few minutes, he doesn't go to the door and bark or meow.

Packer oinks. Mainly because he's a 350-pound, house-trained pig. House trained! "All I did was watch him close for about three explains 14-year-old Tim. "Everytime he would make a mess I'd rub his nose in it, spank him hard, and take him out. "He's smarter than any dog you ever saw.

I'll talk to him and he grunts right back," Tim says. Bonne (continued from page 1) past treasurer was Audrey Mabery. Reports show that the plans for the Christmas season have been set as far as the Bonneville Plaza merchants are concerned. The other businesses in the downtown area will be completing their plans this week. Those plans may include a Santa Lane where the children can visit Santa in a special setting.

The group approved a plan presented by the officers to put aside the membership meeting for December due to the busy holiday season. The membership meetings will once more resume in January. Energy (continued from page 1) Tuesday a driver going 55 miles per hour found that he The Board of Aldermen of the city have agreed to spend up to $4,000 in the battle to keep the rate increase as low as possible. This may be what comes out of the case a rate increase less than the 4 per cent. Most people feel that UE knew it would have a fight on its hands when it asked for the rate increase, so they went in high and hope to come out with a rate it can live with.

The thing that seems to be a certainty is that the cost of power is going up, the only question is how much will the bills of the consumer increase after the smoke clears. DEAR READERS: Despite the enormity of the drug problem as headlined in the major cities of the country and of the world, in fact only 25 to 30 per cent of the vast majority of American parents (based on our survey) considered narcotics as a Number I worry in raising their children. One-fifth of all respondents felt marijuana should be legalized, but almost half termed penalties for private use too stiff. Twelve per cent revealed they had tried pot, a Texas mother adding, "I couldn't tell the difference between a roach and a Camel. a lot of effort for zilch!" From the West Coast came, "Hell no, I don't want pot legalized.

I sell the stuff:" Asked, "What would you do if you discovered illegal drugs in your child's room?" four-fifths of our correspondents said they would seek help from a counselor and (or) try to work the problem out for themselves, but an average 13 per cent (21 per cent among families earning less than $10,000 a year insisted they would turm the "culprit" over to the police. Three per cent indicated they might try the drug with their children "to understand why he uses it," and a like number chose the cop-out "We'd throw the stuff away and say nothing." One man exploded, "I'd beat his ass off!" Parents voted 60 per cent against uniformly lowering the legal liquor age to 18, but 60 per cent not necessarily, but often, the same voters) said they allowed their kids moderate amounts of alcoholic beverages at home. In the east, where New York already permits legal drinking at 18, more parents favored the law, and near 70 per cent served children liquor privately. The liberal attitudes of parents were further evidenced in answers to such questions as: "If you discovered your child's friend was using drugs but was trying to quit, would you insist on a break with him or her?" Sixty-eight per cent answered "No," with many adding, "We'd do our best to help." "If your daughter's friend had an abortion, would you insist she break off the friendship?" Eighty-two per cent answered with a resounding "No." Early on in our analysis of the computerized survey, however, we discovered that adults are often guilty of a trait they criticize in youth: they would rather fool themselves than face facts.

END OF. YEAR EXPENSES OR ANY GOOD REASON CALL PHIL ROWLAND FOR FAST ONE STOP LOANS 1 1 1 Power-Light Increase LONDON (AP) Oil billionaire J. Paul Getty says he is standing firm on his refusal to pay kidnappers for the return of his 17-year-old grandson, missing in Italy for the past five months. Although some police and relatives claim the disappearance of J. Paul Getty III is a hoax, a photograph purposing to show young Getty minus his right ear was circulated in Rome Thursday.

Along with the package of snapshots was a handwritten letter begging the elder Getty to pay the ransom in return for his grandson's release. It said: "I beg you, grandfather, please forget my capriciousness and folly. Pay and I will be as you like for good. You, too, Papa. I beg you, forget our disagreements.

Forgive me and help pay." A spokesman for the boy's grandfather told newsmen: "Mr. Getty will never change his mind about his decision to pay nothing." The oilman, considered one of the world's richest men, has said giving in to ransom demands would open his other grandchildren to the dangers of kidnapers. The youngster's father, who also lives in London, has agreed to pay an undisclosed ransom, according to his attorneys. Persons claiming to be kidnapers at one time demanded $17 million, but since have reportedly reduced the figure to $3.4 million. Thursday's note and photographs were made public by the Rome newspaper II Tempo, which said its newsmen found them near the Rome-Naples expressway after an anonymous telephone caller told them where they were.

Police sources said investigators believe the pictures genuine and not retouched. They show a youth squatting on the ground, It is hoped that at the January meeting the group can hear from a representative of St. Joe Minerals Corporation regarding that company's plans for the buildings and property it owns in the Bonne Terre area. The question was raised about what was being done about the industrial development for the community. After a review by some of the members of the community, it was decided that the chamber should activate the industrial committee that was appointed this year to review areas where the chamber might be of help to others working in that area.

The chamber Savings was passing most of the traffic and was not being passed in the whole trip. A tune-up might also be something that would be of value for the auto owner. It was pointed out that with gasoline going to 50 cents per gallon it would not take long to get back the $35 a complete tune-up might cost. Maybe the best savings would come if the driver will ask the question that was printed on the back of those WWII gas rationing stickers on car windshields. "Is this trip really necessary?" As one oil dealer put it, staying at home when you do not really have to make the trip or walking three' blocks instead of driving, could mean that those rationing stickers, will remain only a memory.

This bill would allow the power companies of the nation to use high sulfur coal in their generating operations, thus, the group feels, removing one of the reasons UE asked for the rate increase. The group feels sure that even if there is no effect on the rate increase, there should be on the fuel adjustment rate that is written into the contract with the cities. This fuel adjustment rate is explained to be a charge that is made when a higher cost fuel must be used to generate the power.

While the group knows that they are only forestalling the rate increast at this time, they plan to keep trying. They explain that they understand history shows that if the power companies are granted less of a rate increase on time, they come back to the power company sooner for the next increase. They feel the battle is worth the effort. MORE LIGHT ON THE SUBJECT DAN VERS. Mass.
