In ins letter thanking Bettens, Simon said he used to save the entire paper when he first started his collection six years ago. ‘'After a few years," the collec i tor, wrote, “my wife told me either ! I would have to build a special room for all of my newspapers or burn them, so I decided to cut out the mastheads and paste them into scrapbooks." Included in his collection of 4000 newspapers from all over the j world, Simon has a copy of every I daily newspaper published in the j United States, Canada and Alas • ka. In addition he has “college newspers from about 30 states and i weekly newspapers from about 20 ] states." He doesn't confine his collection . to straight news organs, either, ! for he says, “I also have farm, | labor and fraternal newspapers I and about 200 newspapers from every part of the world except ; Russia." English isn't the only language in his papers printed in America for he states he has a copy of every German. Polish. Hungarian, j Greek. Jewish. Syrian, Chinese and I Japanese paper published in the i United States. With his hobby now contained in 25 scrapbooks, the Toledo man I hopes to have the entire collection ! finished in 1965.

But, for romantics, there is a story on now Valentines came to be. In third century Home there ruled the Emperor Claudius Claud ius the Cruel, he was called. There also stood the high priest Valen tine, who was so popular that all Hie people of Rome went to him to secure his blessings. During this time wars cume out side Rome, so Claudius called the Oregon Students Fined in Court Eleven Oregon students were fined in municipal court recently.

The other* were married oi ling aged and refused to go away und leave their wives and sweet hearts. Hearing of this, Claudius tried to correct the situation by forbid ding all marriages and breaking all engagements. Young girls died of love. Young men became moody and wouldn’t * work. Valentine was sad when he saw this, so, In defiance of the emperor's decree, he one day wed * a couple. The good word spread and soon he had a line at his door. When Claudius learned of thm wedding business, he was so mad that he had Valentine cast to the dungeon, where he died. Thus, Valentine became a mar tyr to all the people and espe cially to lovers, who have honored his birthday ever since.
