The fam ily’s special candles
have served countless occasions.
Galli-Curci once ordered a 1,100-
pound Ajello m asterpiece to burn
in thanksgiving for a successful
throat operation. A giant two-
ton candle is set to burn one day
a year for IS centuries in m em
ory ol Enrico Caruso at his tomb
near Naples.
A veteran of World W ar I o r
dered Ajello to make a candle
that m atched his size and weight,
with a hole in it representing the
wound he survived. He hired a
brass band to help him escort the
candle from the factory to a
church where he lighted it in
Thanksgiving.
When Antonio Jello died, at the
age of 78, hundreds of tapers with
his secret ingredients exuded the
odor of orange blossoms a t his
funeral.
The 2,300 tapers for the crow n
ing of Elizabeth will be in grad
uated sizes from 12 inches to six
feet, all of the same design.
The base of each will be a
wax model of the scarlet and gold
crown of the ruling House of
Windsor. From the center of the
crown's surm ounting cross leaps
a Florentine taper, hand-dipped
in virginal beeswax, its shaft fin-
germolded and then sprayed with

The local Bruins uph Id their
tit s* strin g record last week when
thc\ "took" Port Orford, 60 to 56,
hi their first county league game
of the season. The garni* was one
of those “sec-saw ” anybody’s
game all airs which kept the sp e c
tators on their toes and yelling.
Score was tied, 56 to 56. How
ever, the local team took two
baskets in the overtim e, turning
the tide in th eir favor.
The Ophir game, played on the
Ophir heme floor, ended with a
total of 83 to 61 in favor of the
Bruins.
It is to be hoped that all of the
scores arc running higher th is
year due to the new rule which
allows two tries at free throw
in case the first try is missed.
Tuesday the Bruins play Gold
Beach at Gold Beach; Friday
Ophir comes to Brookings. Tues
day, Dec. 23, Eagle Point comes
to Brookings.
C hristm as vacation has been
set from Tuesday night, Dec. 23
to Friday m orning, Jan. 5.
The cause or causes of cancer
are still unknown despite seven
years of concentrated research,
“but we, nevertheless, have come
a far way on the road to the
ultim ate solution of the riddle,
’’says the annual report of the
Oregon division, A m erican Cancer
Society.
Research is now less a by- prod
uct of other studies and more a
direct a tta ck against the m an)
facets of the problem ,” the report
says, "it is not expected that
the riddle of cancer wi'l be solved
in a sudden Hash of discovery
nor is it likelj the solution will
be the work of any one investi
gator. The problem is complex
ph x and there will be many men
anil women who will contribute
to its final solution.”
