CHRISTMAS SHOWPLACE One of the interesting spots in Roseburg this Christmas
season is the lobby of the Hotel Grand where a miniature village, complete with two-speeding
trains, is now on display. The exhibit was built by A. L. (Shorty) Bray, a maintenance
man at the hotel, at a cost of about $400. It took him about nine months to build. "It kept
me out of mischief," he said. Although he has been building these miniature towns all his
life, this is the most elaborate. It contains a complete village, a running waterfall and
a canyon. Bray says the display contains about 500 feet of wiring to move the trains and
light up the village, down to the individual houses. Bray says he has been building villages
such as this for years because his doctor told him he should always be doing something to
carry off his nervous energy. (Paul Jenkins picture).

Teenage Driving Improves Under State's Crusade
Safe-Teen, the teenage safe-driving
crusade was one year old Satur
day, December 17.
One year ago the movement
amongst teen drivers to prove to
their elders they are not all squir
rely drivers was born among 1U0
Beaverton Union high school stu
dents. Today more than 20,000 driv
ers in the under-age insurance
bracket from 42 states and three
foreign countries advertise they
are safe drivers every time they
get behind the wheel. The orange
and black "Safe-Teen" bumper
strip on their cars is their label.
In Beaverton last week Judge
Frances Cook, justice of the peace
and founder of the crusade, re

Japan Barring
Teachers Shorter
Than Five Feet
TOKYO 11 A controversy is
swirling above the heads of Tok
yo's women schoolteachers in
some cases several inches above.
The Metropolitan Board of F.du
cation started it by barring teach
ers shorter than five feet.
The ban goes into effect next
school year, but not without howls
of anguish from tiny teachers, the
major newspapers, students
teachers' schools and one woman
Diet Parliament member, her
self former Tokyo teacher.
The Died member. Mrs. lianeko
Takada. is 4 feet 10.
The metropolitan government
section said it put the ban on tiny
teachers because Japanese boys
and girls arc growing bigger all
the time and the teachers find it
hard to control them if they are
too small.

Ex-Governor's
Name Linked
With Teacher
OKLAHOMA CITY l-The di
vorce case of former Gov. John
ston .Murray became engrossed in
personalities yesterday with the
statement in a District Court depo
sition that there was another
woman in Murray's life.
Highway Patrolman Jim Gari
baldi identified Mrs. Helen Shutt,
former member o the University
of Tulsa faculty, as Murray's com
panion on numerous occasions. The
trooper, who acted as official driv
er and aide to Murray during his
four years as governor, testified
at the deposition hearing.
Garibaldi was questioned for
two hours by State Sen. George
Miskovsky, attorney for Mrs. Wil
lie Murray. She is contesting Mur
ray's application for divorce and
seeks separate maintenance on
grounds that include public drunk
enness and adultery.
The trooper was a reluctant wit
ness who was subpoenaed for the
deposition, tie said he had told
Mrs. Murray he didn't want to be
questioned but that she insisted.
Garibaldi told of one instance
where Mrs. Shutt drove up from
Dallas to meet Murray at an Ard
more hotel. He also testified that
on several occasions he and the
former governor drove to McAl
ester, checked into a hotel, then
new to Dallas where Murray was
met at the airport by Mrs. Shutt.
Murray was succeeded as gov
ernor last January and is now a
vice president for a Texas oil firm.
He was not immediately available
