'Love Ad" Billboards
Get German Clients
FRANKFURT, Germany,, Jan. 28—(AP)—German girls'
out to get a man don’t beat around the bush in a country where
they outnumber men two to one.
They bluntly advertise “man wanted” on the big city bill
boards which fill the place here of American newspaper want
ad sections.
Ads like this:
“Twenty-three year old girl, blond, medium-sized, blue-eyed,
wants to spend weekends with
wealthy businessman. Please
forward offers to. X.”
Or like this one:
“I am alone. Good looking
and well-shaped 25-year old
girl wants to spend evenings
with man not older than 30. Have
own apartment.”
The “love advertising” is a new
idea but it’s spreading like wild
fire. As the samples quoted show,
the ads are shockingly frank.
Mostly they make no mention of
marriage.
Men use the billboards, too. One
advertised:
“Fifty-one year old business man
(looking much younger) travelling
to Bavarian resort soon. Where is
the good-looking girl, not older
than 28, who wants to accompany
me ?”
Camel's Romance
Now on Right Track
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 28— (AP)
—Hal (for Halitosis) and Sal are
now very friendly.
This is the happy report eman
ating today from Griffith Park zoo,
sponsor of a romance between Hal
and a camel girl friend recently
purchased for $1,500. The idea was
to raise some little two-humpers
to trade with other zoos.
But when the camel couple was
first introduced, Hal lumbered off,
with Sal in pursuit, and cowered
in a corner of his fenced yard.
However, in his role of camel
Cupid an appropriately named
keeper, Melvin Love, and Sal’s
charms finally broke down Hal’s
resistance.
Planes Thrown
Against Weather
In Western Areas
New Snows Whip Across Midwest;
Truman Allots Another $500,000 for Relief
By The Associated Press
More pianos and bulldozers were thrown into the battle of
the Western blizzards Friday, but a new storm dealt rescue ef
forts a severe set-back in some areas.
The new snow, forerunner of another cold wave, whipped
across Wyoming’, Nebraska, Eastern Kansas and Southeast
South Dakota and on into Southeastern Minnesota, Iowa and
Wisconsin.
It intensified the suffering of snow-stranded livestock and
humans in the stricken western
areas.
President Truman alloted an
other $500,000 for blizzard re
lief during the day, boosting
the amount of federal aid so far
to $800,000.
In Nebraska, one of the hardest
hit blizzard states, the storm vir
tually ice-locked the state. Twelve
inches of snow fell in Omaha, with
lesser amounts elsewhere. Scarce
ly a road in the state was open.
Brig. Gen. Guy N. Henninger,
who is directing relief activities in
Nebraska, said, “Human distress
and misery are worse this morning
than at any time since the storms
began.’'
In northern Nebraska, where the
relief work had scarcely scratched
the surface, much of the blizzard
busting work had to start anew.
The new storm stalled a single
coach train, the Omaha-Sioux
City train of the Chicago and
Northwestern railroad.
The fifth army headquarters in
Chicago shipped 30 more bulldoz
ers to Nebraska to augment 57
army bulldozers and 29 half-track
weasels already at work in the Ne
braska storm area.
Ten more C-82 flying box cars
joined the Nevada haylift, where
feed has been dumped to stranded
herds the last several days. Ranch
ers predicted that two more days
of aerial feeding by air force crews
would see them over the hump in
the present emergency.
In Utah, the major "catastrophe
area” where 1,200,000 sheep and
cattle are snowbound, rising tem
peratures cheered ranchers.
Another sleet storm hit sections
in the midcontinent, but colder

Portland Cops in Keystone Comedy
PORTLAND, Jan. 28—(AP)—Two young men
were jailed today after a slapstick chase involv
ing a lost cab, a lost police car, and a cabbie who
couldn’t find his fares.
It all sounded, said tired police, like a scene from
a film comedy of the twenties.
Cabbie Harry Schaeffer got a call early this
morning to an east side apartment house. When he
arrived, somebody yelled, “We’ll be right out-turn
on the meter.”
The meter ticked along to $2, and nobody came
out Schaeffer called police to find his fares.
As the policemen accompanied Schaeffer into the
apartment house, somebody dro$e off in the cab. A
second later somebody drove off in the police car.
While more police were summoned, one of the of
ficers arrested a suspicious by stander.
spotted his cab, four blocks away.
The arrested bystander, the police, and Schaeffer
rushed down and got it. Then they came back and
arrested another man, who was with a young girl.
The girl wandered away. Police started after her,
and her companion made a dash to escape. The of
ficers rushed back and recaptured him.
The two men—who, witnesses said, answered the
description of the persons who had driven off in the
cab and the police car—were finally taken to jail.
The police car was found later, on the west side of
the river.
Veterans Must
Exchange Old
Certificates
Veterans who have old certifi
cates of eligibility for G. I. Bill
training are advised to exchange
them immediately for a new-type
certificate, if they are planning io
enter school or job-training for the
first time after January 1.
Mr. Donald C. Schworer, Veter
ans Administration representative
at the University of Oregon, ex
plained today that the out-dated
certificates are all those issued be
fore last September 1. Thousands
of these which have never been,
used are in the hands of Oregon
veterans.
Certificates may be exchanged
in person or by mail. The exchange
is necessary, Mr. Schworer said,
because of a new registration meth
od which the VA will employ af
ter January 1.
The new form enables the agen
cy to verify an ex-GI's educational
entitlement before he starts train
ing, thus allowing prompter service
on tuition and subsistence pay
ments after his training is begun.
