It was Circuit Judge G. F. Skipworth's birthday Wednes day and although no formal celebration was planned at the courthouse, everyone there was extending congratulations. When asked his age on the anniversary, Skipworth said, I'm ten years older than Jack Benny. Or maybe I'm ten years younger," he added as an after thought. Looking spry and cheerful, Skipworth paused on his way out of chambers to help a young lawyer in advising a client, a person Skipworth referred to as "that old man." Who's Who for Oregon gives a hint of the veteran judge's age. It says he was born in Kechi, Louisiana, Nov. 21, 1873.
