Sidelights Siamese Cat Whining Brat By DORIS LEE Nobody told me Siamese cats complain constantly. We've had this kitten for a week now and all he does is meow in a deep, bartone voice. All the time, for no reason. He meows when you look at him and when you pet him. He meows before, during and after meals and while he's purring. He meows when you enter the room and when you leave it, when he enters the room and when he leaves it. He meows at the wall, at a spot on the floor and at flies. He meows when he's walking and when he's running. He even meows himself to sleep. We've tried to make him happy here. We give him the best cat food money can buy plus evaporated milk diluted with warm water, and soft-boiled eggs served up in attractive dishes. We bought him a vinyl-coated Kitty Potty that converts into a bed. You just dump the sand out and put a blanket in it. He didn't like it as a Kitty Potty so we made a bed out of it and gave him a pink and blue shoe box for a Kitty Potty. He still meows. We bought him a catnip toy. He meowed violently at it for five minutes and hasn't looked at it other lap. Walk by sometime when he's on somebody's lap and he'll immediately begin yelling for your lap." "Not if he's really comfortable where he is," he said. "You have to make him feel welcome." "Well, don't expect me to donate my lap to the cause," I said. "Other things have priority, such as, 'Youngblood Hawke' which I'm currently reading. It's a pretty big book and takes up my whole lap. I also need my lap for a snack bar while I'm watching Steve Allen, and for my left foot when I'm doing the Lotus in my Yoga exercises." "Do you use it for shelling peas?" he asked sarcastically. This lap-sitting is just one of the many canine traits Siamese cats possess, I'm told. They also tag along after you like a dog, scrap with other cats and meow in a series of high-pitched shrieks not unlike barking. I have also observed his cat wagging his tail in one or two of his more contented moments. "Why did you want a Siamese cat anyway?" I asked. No Square "Because they're not like ordinary cats," he said. "I'll say. They're more like ter, and soft-boiled eggs served up in attractive dishes. We bought him a vinyl-coated Kitty Potty that converts into a bed. You just dump the sand out and put a blanket in it. He didn't like it as a Kitty Potty so we made a bed out of it and gave him a pink and blue shoe box for a Kitty Potty. He still meows. We bought him a catnip toy. He meowed violently at it for five minutes and hasn't looked at it since. It was Charlie's idea to get a Siamese cat. "We should have gotten a mongrel cat," I told him. "We wouldn't be out $14.27 and we'd have some quiet around here." Needs Attention "He wants attention,' said Charlie. 'If you'll notice, he stops meowing when you take him on your lap.'" "So he's a lap cat," I said. "Who's got the time to be always sitting down and making a lap for him?" "There are five of us in the family," he said. "Surely we're not always all standing at once. I think we should make it a policy around here that whoever sits down should take the cat on his lap." "That wouldn't alway work," I said. "It's fine until he sees an along after you like a dog, scrap with other cats and meow in a series of high-pitched shrieks not unlike barking. I have also observed his cat wagging his tail in one or two of his more contented moments." "Why did you want a Siamese cat anyway?" I asked. No Square "Because they're not like ordinary cats," he said. "I'll say. They're more like ordinary dogs, yapping at my heels and barking in that crazy voice." "And they're easier to train and they have better manners." "What manners? He interrupts our conversation with his yelling, and drags his food around the floor." "Look," he said, bridling. "it's not good fr' you to hate this cat. Not good for the cat, that is. It could give him a trauma." The cat walked in just then emitting a shriek with every step. He jumped up on Charlie's lap, circled around several times and sat down, meowing listlessly at the air. Spotting my lap, he bounded over onto it, kneaded himself a choice spot and curled up and went to sleep. I don't think my antagonism has reached him yet. Solution To Urban Problem Sought By Legislators By JOHN A MURDY JR 35th Senatorial District More and more today we hear the great hue and cry about urban problems. Admittedly, Metropolitan areas, the great centers of population, do have many complex problems. Leaders of these urban areas cry loud and long for solutions. In many instances, urban areas prefer to solve their own problems or seek state and federal help to solve them locally. But there is one problem that urban areas in California have yet to solve with any degree of competence — that being ma's rapid transit. It seems obvious that our growing network of freeways, although necessary, are not solving the that is blocking any real solution to our traffic problems. But we are still looking. Why hasn't something really been done In all truthfulness, some things have been done. But up to now it appears to be a hodgepodge of jangled jargon and inept handling. What mass rapid transit there is only comes up to the bare minimum standards and certainly doesn't meet the needs of the Metropolitan area Bus routes, with few exceptions, twist all over the place, helicopters fly too few people, and that leaves John Q. Public and his coughing smog machine to jam the highways every day. Certainly with all the imagination and engineering wonders that during he final stages of the recent campaign, I stated in order of my brochures that "It is enough to be a dedicated loser." Perhaps, if I had had sufficient foresight, I would have said, "It easy to be a good winner, but harder to be a good loser". After all, I had never lost an election before and lacked the experience of having been a "loser." However, now that the car paign is over, I have had a few spare moments to reflect objectively on the activities of the car paign. And they all add up to you one thing — it's great to live in Democracy such as ours where people will listen to both sides an issue, where the free press really a free press and you both the right and the opportunity... In many instances, urban areas prefer to solve their own problems or seek state and federal help to solve them locally. But there is one problem that urban areas in California have yet to solve with any degree of competence — that being ma's rapid transit. It seems obvious that our growing network of freeways, although necessary, are not solving the Metropolitan transportation problems, just spreading the traffic jam over more highways. Rapid Transit Yet, week after week, month after month, year after year, we hear much talk about mass rapid transit, proposed plans for solution, studies and more talk. But still we have a problem that seems to be getting worse. If something isn't done, a few years from now the motor vehicles will be useless because of the ever-increasing traffic jam. People have asked us whether there is a strong lobby blocking an efficient solution to this matter. I suppose the cost of mass rapid transit is a good reason to try everything else first. But I know of no organized group, public or private agency, What mass rapid transit there is only comes up to the bare minimum standards and certainly doesn't meet the needs of the Metropolitan area Bus routes, with few exceptions, twist all over the place, helicopters fly too few people, and that leaves John Q. Public and his coughing smog machine to jam the highways every day. Certainly with all the imagination and engineering wonders that our free enterprise industry has produced, something could and should be worked out. That goes for the price, too. It's time to stop talking and get some action! PERFECT FOOD Is milk really "mankind's most nearly perfect food," as is so often asserted by nutritionists, food chemists and educators? The statement is made because a sixth of the nation's food energy and 75 per cent of its calcium requirements come from dairy foods. Milk products also are prime sources of vitamins — furnishing nearly half of the national intake of riboflavin, a fifth of the Vitamin A, and significant quantities of thiamine and ascorbic acid.

A year-old Anaheim area resident at his bedroom window watched the cars and trucks down the busy street, watching a group of neighborhood boys riding cowboys and injuns, and ended a couple of frolicsome encounters engaged in a mock battle. Now an awful lot from his bed window — but he didn't sound. A little fellow was complete-def. He couldn't hear a sound should he speak — because he never heard anyone else. When he became excited made funny little noises — and he couldn't even hear. Needed help but his family, loves or friends just couldn't be together the money to provide medical and surgical needs that might help him live a full normal life. He was not even eligible for State or County help. Kate Rea an Anaheim resident and president of the Crippled Children's Relief Association heard about the little fellow and immediately came to his aid. He was fitted with a bilateral hearing aid. And now thanks to this Anaheim-Western Communities United Fund agency he is beginning to hear sounds that he never dreamed existed. And slowly with all the determination in his little body he is learning how to talk. During the past eight months alone the Crippled Children's Relief Association of Orange County ha helped 51 similar cases. Their motto speaks for itself "He who helps a child serves humanity".
