"I find myself giving away gifts I'd give both my uppers and lowers to keep. This is my fourth shower this month and I've had it. Why am I raving mad?

When birds fly north in the spring, they don't always travel with their mates. Some of the males head north first to locate a nest site and start building on arrival. The male wren often builds several when his lady love arrives so she can have a choice. Prescription Risk A new phase of health insurance is getting a trial, a plan whereby the doctor's prescription is paid by the insurance company.

Prescription insurance is getting a test in a few communities in California at a cost of somewhere from $4 to $10 a month for a family. of four. A similar plan in Windsor, operating more Chan a year, costs $5.10 a month for a similar family. The plan is the subject of much controversy. Opponents claim it is the thin edge of a wedge to socialized medicine and a step in the direction of government control of drugmaking, pricing and distribution.

The backers admit there would be more paper work and increased costs for pharmacists but say higher sales would offset it. The magazine, Chemicall Week, forecasts that if the plan is in general use the volume of prescriptions will rise sharply. In England where prescriptions are covered by national health insurance, the number of prescriptions doubled in eight years and the cost of the average prescription doubled in the same period. E. H.

Attracts Business Ventures It would seem that 12th N. has a growing attraction for business, judging by requests the Planning and Zoning Commission has been getting. Two items at the last commission meeting concerned business ventures on that street. Now public hearings have been set for Sept. 17 on two more such items.

For the benefit of out-of-towners, the 12th N. E. route has names at different points, due to the way in which it winds. Il comes into the city as 12th N. E.

from the east, curves northward under the name of Road and then becomes 13th N. E. ON A NEW curved cut off, the route bends south off 13th to meet 12th N.

E. This route as continued on 12th N. W. is the only one-street, east-west route through the city north of Highway 18. It has been designated as a major street by City Council action.

Including lone business and industry outside the city limits, there are now on the all route three grocery stores, five servlice stations, a refreshment stand and -three industries. Except for two of the industries and one of the stores, all of them are either at Federal or east of it. The latest proposals are for new service station on the northeast corner of 12th N. E. and Carolina and for a business machine sales and service esItablishment on the southeast Power to One's Emotions The title, however, continued to haunt him.

He did not read prayer he emptied his heart of corroding hate and ill will, and let the love and understanding of God flow through him again. One of the greatest truths taught in the New Testament is this: "Ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Spirit is come upon you." And that power is.a wonderful thing. It gives real victory. the booklet at first but he did think about prayer. Finally, he got down on his knees, somewhat tentatively, and se said to the Lord, "I'm full of hate and full of resentment, but somehow feel that that altitude isn't goling to do any good.

Help me feel differently." He returned to his knees many limes until finally he prayed his way through his problem. Ultimately he became able to overcome his resentment and although it was extremely difficult for him at first, he was at length. able! to pray for his "double-crossling" competitor. He said to himself, "He can't be very happy after what he's done to me; I will pray for him that he will make things right with himself and find peace." ONE MAN had gained some money and lost peace; the other had lost money but gained peace. Who was the smarter of the two? Prayer seems to be a common sense way of living, doesn't He explained his feelings to mc in his letter as follows: "Never, in my whole life, had I such an experience of the presence of God as I did when I prayed my way through And that he hate and resentment." concluded: "I really feel the Holy Spirit is come upon me."

9 through 20. CONFIDENT LIVING Prayer Calls Overcome By Norman Vincent Peale Not long ago I received a letter from a real estate broker in Texas. He wrote not to sell me a house or some oil property, but because a friend has sent him a little booklet I had written called "Try Power." He fell that this booklet had been "God sent," for it arrived al the time of the greatest crisis he has ever faced. Another real estate dealer had "double crossed him" caused him to lose a very sizable commission. He felt that what the man had done was illegal, dishonest and, at the very least, unethical.

My or respondent's first thought was to DR. PEALE bring charges against the man through their real estate board in an attempt to drive him out of business. The loss of the expected commission was more than he could afford, and the injury just too much to bear. There was no length to which wouldn't go to get back at his competitor, to show him, to get even with him. A powerful surge of hate such as he had never felt welled up in him against this man.

And it continued for several days. "THEN CAME that morning mail," he wrote, "and your littie booklet. There it lay on my desk, its words facing me "Try Prayer Power." I I was hatefully asking what. I I I I could do in this terrible situation and there was my answer 1r prayer power. But I brushed it aside.

I wasn't going to. I was going to get, that corner of 12th and N. Federal. Both plans. would require 17 hear- zone changes, and the Sept.

tings are on the zone change requests. LAST MONTH commissioners took under study a proposal that the city sell land for an office! building on the northeast corner of 12th and N. Federal. The city' acquired that land as part of a tract purchased for development of the cut-off. Also last month, commissioners' recommended denial of a zone change that would have allowed enlarging of a grocery store at 12th N.

E. and Rhode Island. The business machine operation proposal comes from H. Wesley and Dorothy Brodt. A change of zone from apartment is to business classification sought.

Unlike land on the north side of the street, the area is privately owned. The Louise owners Muehlare William and stedt and Magdalene Lechman. BOTH THE NORTHWEST and southwest corners of the 12th and N. Federal intersection already are in business zoning. The northeast corner is in commercial classification.

However, if the northeast corner is sold by the city for the proposed office' building, it undoubtedly would be put in the business classification. Otherwise, setback requirements on building construction would make devellopment. impossible, since the tract is only 25 feet deep. A question raised by commissioners discussing possible sale of the land on the north side of the cut-off was where parking space would be available to serve the proposed offices. A similar question may be asked when the business machine office plan is studied.

At present parking is prohibited on the north side of the The proposal for a new serv ice station on 12th N. E. at Carolina came to the commission from the Continental Oil Co. The land is owned by Lloyd W. Helbling and is in single-family The change would be to a commercial zone.

THE NORTHWEST CORNER of the Carolina 12th intersection is now. a business zone and the southeast corner is a commercial zone. There already is a service station on each of those corners. In past years businesses have come and gone on 12th North. Those there now are showing no obvious signs of decay.

One of the stores, at least one service station and the refreshment stand are still in the -new category. The two older groceries have been remodeled and kept up to date in terms of construction over the years. Additional traffic has been shifted onto 12th recently, thanks in large part to county blacktopping of two years ago outside the cily. Now 12th is hard surfaced both east a west from the city and linked with Highway 18 by blacktop either side of the city. The extension of 12th N.

E. outside the city also is part of good routes to either Plymouth or Portland. GETTING BACK to the name confusion, addresses on N. just outside the city, like some of those inside, are listed as on Plymouth Road. Concerning the 12th N.

E. business proposals now before the Planning and Zoning Commission, it probably will be argued that requested zone changes would only extend existing zones. Commission opposition to creating "spot zones" for business 'wihin residentially zoned areas puts some limits on extensive exploitation of 12th North for new commercial ventures. However, there still is some arca open for such use, even without going outside city The north side of the THE REV. T.

F. CURRIER New Mercy Chaplain Is City Native The Rev. Thomas Francis Currier, a native Mason Cityan, has been appointed chaplain of Mercy Hospital here and administrator of St. Michael's Church, Plymouth. Father Curtrier, son of the Fred Curriers, 925 Harrison N.
