After all, they're used to covering the activities of kings and queens. Alan Dick, writing from Monte Carlo for The Daily Herald, said: "Grace Kelly will have to take lessons in being royal before she marries Prince Rainier next week. She made two bad mistakes when she arrived." He said Grace's outside hat hid ner irom view ana mat, alter an, "royalty has to be seen to be believed.'' In Grace's appearance from the palace Da loony oeiore ner luture subjects, Dick wrote her wave was much too "Hi yah" and not enough "how d'ye do."

Roseburg High Paper Enters School Question (Continued from Pag Oue) Meeting, Discussion Set ' For Lookingglass PTA The Lookingglass PTA will tricot on Monday at 8 D m. in the Look ingglass School to plan a musical program. A discussion of the children's program for the summer months will be held. Red Cross swimming lessons are being considered for tins program. Refreshments will be served by inn intra ana lounn grade mow knowledge but also understand ings that are necessary in our de mocracy." In the matter of school comparisons, he pointed to the Look magazine survey, listing Ore gon schools as best in the United States, while vocabulary tests showed some students In the Rose burg system to be highest in the United States. Gymnasiums and cafeterias, he declared, are valu able in the formation of social habits. Much of the cost of the band and athletic activities, he said, is paid by parent groups, civic clubs and private citizens. The comment by Sylva Eddy, editor-in-chief, pointed out that "Our voting public should be an Informed one. and we are trying in our small way to present some of the facts." In her opinion school Is not too easy and there are not many so called "sluff" courses. "I think we, the students," she said, "along with the citizens of Roseburg should keep the welfare of our schools and our educational system in mind because they are so much more important than the taxes we will have to forfeit to give our community well-educated citizens." The assistant editor, Norma Nel son, gave as her editorial opinion that objectors to "frills" would have a different opinion had they heard the band concert, pointing out also that "in certain other "frill" areas such as Orange R, Annual, speech and athletics very little, if any, budget money, with the exception of teachers' sal aries, goes for the support of the program. Quoted student opinions contend ed that school courses are well planned and organized and that "if the townspeople would visit our schools and see the actual situa tion they might find substantial facts on which to base their opin ions."

Discovery Of Simple Brain Hormone Aid To Research Into ACTH And Cortizone HOUSTON Wl The discovery of a simple brain hormone, a long sought internal triggering mech anism that sets off the body s production of ACTH and Corti sone, was reported Thursday by Baylor University College of Medicine doctor. The Baylor neuroendocrtnolo- gist, Dr. Roger Guillemin, is to present his findings formally Tuesday before the American Physiological Society at Atlantic City, N. J. The 32-year-old French physi cian and researcher has received travel award from the society to present a report on his work at the 20th annual International Physiological Congress in Brus sels, Belgium, this summer. Dr. Guillemin said that the new ly, discovered hormone, in tests on hundreds of animals and four human beings, has proved to be a purified substance that can be injected into the body to make it produce its own chemical weapon against mental and physical stress. The tests were reported to have shown that the brain hormone produces a perfectly normal re sponse in both animals and hu mans, and that, unlike animal ACTH and Cortisone, which is in jected into patients for treatment of many illnesses, it has no ill or ' side" effects. The discovery was described as the scientific link of evidence sup- Yates' Counsel Files ' Statements Of Jurors (Continued from Page One) Two Men Sentenced By Judge Woodrich Two men convicted in iurv trials earlier this week were sentenced by Circuit Judge Charles S. Wood rich Friday. James Willard Ellis, 49, Glen dale, was given a one-year peni tentiary term, but was granted probation. He was found guilty of attempting to obtain money under false pretenses in connection with a fire insurance claim. Charles Dain Strong, 61, Riddle, was ordered to the state hospital at Salem for observation, as requir ed by statute in felony convictions on morals charges. Strong was found guilty of sodomy. Solent or impolite. He was courle ... ik. G. F. Reynolds: The judge's tone "was irritated and mad." Yates' voice "was ordinary and calm" when he made the objection. Agnes Veach: "I would describe the judge's tone as harsh. When Mr. Yates made his objection to the judge's tone, him manner and speech were not disrespectful. He snowed surprise the way the judge was talking to him " Also included are statements from two witnesses, Harry Czyzew ski and James R. Grady, to back up the contention of Yates' coun sel. In the course of the trial, the judge had said Grady was "giving evasive asnwers," that he should "give a responsive answer" to questions being put to him on the witness stand. It is brought out in the hill of exceptions that Yates conferred with the judge during recess, prior to action which brought the con tempt proceeding, saying that he felt the manner in which the judge examined Czyzewski had given the jury the impression that the court was favorable to the defendant. "The judge responded that he did not want to give any such impres sion and had not intended to do so." The wholo question will have to go to the state Supreme Court for a decision on the appeal. porting speculation of 25 years or more mat a tiny suDaivision ot the brain, the hypothalamus, se cretes a substance or substances that govern the master gland of the body, the anterior pituitary at the base of the brain. The discovery was said to be concrete evidence that the hypo thalamus, which is connected with the anterior pituitary by only blood vessels and by no nerve fibers, is regulating the endo crine system. The anterior pituitary is a tiny speck of matter that is known to produce six active hormones that spread out to control ail otner glands of the body. Among these hormones is ACTH, the body's method of combatting stress. , Guillemin's brain hormone was described further as the first ma jor tie-up between the two inte grators of the body, the nervous system and the glandular system.
