j AID FROM EXPERT ON BIBLE
I Mrs. Clark Almost Faints
At Helpful Voice on Phone
By BARMAN W. NICHOLS
Washington, Aug. 11 H-B 7.'he pretty brunette was on the spot,
t She was new in Wash.'nglon.
f She had an assignment to 'nl'.c before a bunch of kids who were
facets of the American Legion Auxiliary. The first thing our
I heroine thought of was a good "can-do" story
Best one that came to mind ;
was one from the Bible. The
f vone about David, who gave the
I business to Goliath.
She was reasonably sure she
r had her facts straight, but not
f quite. So she called her old
friend, Matt Connelly.
"Matt," she said, "I've got it
all straight but one little thing.
In David and Goliath was it
King Paul or King Saul? I'm
a little rusty on my Bible."
Matt, a pleasant, accommodat
ing fellow, said hold the line.
"Here i a fellow who can
straighten you out," he said.
"I think I can fix you up,"
said the voice which answered.
"Look It up In the first book of
Samuel, the 17th chapter, and
around the Sfllh verse.
"It says there:
" 'And Saul said unto Him,
whose son art thou, young man?
And David answered, 'I am the
son of thy servant, Jesus'."
"Thank you very much," said
our lady.
"Do you know to whom you
are talking?" asked the voice
at the other end of the line.
Our lady was stopped.
"This is your new boss the
president of the United States,
Harry Trumnn."
Mrs. Georgia Neese Clark
nearly fainted. She had just
taken over as treasurer of the
U. S. first woman ever to hold
the Job. Mutt Connelly, of
course, is one of the president's
secretaries.
"He fooled me with his voice,"
Mrs. Clark told me at breakfast.
"He's that kind of a guy. He'll
rub It in later."
Mr. Truman and Mrs. Clark,
a slender, well-dressed lady who
is not beyond doing her own
washing in her small apartment
here, are old friends.
ALWAYS A WI5E BUY
"Harry used to run a shirt and
pants store," she said. "A small
town guy. I ran a bank in Rich
land, Kans., and had about 600
customers. I also ran elevatoor.
Two of a kind."
The business of being thrown
into the big kettle is something
new to Mrs. Clark.
'I don't know which way to
turn," she said. "Every coudIc
of minutes I am invited to a
cocktail party. I'm not used to
that sort of thing. In Kansas,
we mostly are Saturday night
folks. Save up for a little fun
on the week-end. Here, every
body goes all the time."
Mrs. Clark was so impressed
with her new job that she bought
the first 2800 one-dollar bills
she signed as the new U. S.
treasurer for souvenirs.
First time I ever Interviewed
treasurer and got an auto
graphed sample.

Boy, 5, Made Medium
For Mother's Suit
New York, Aug. 11 W) Mom
and Pop made a mistake, claims
5-year-old Ronald Henry Farah.
The boy, just out of kinder
garten, filed suit in state su
preme court yesterday for an
nulment of his parents divorce
His petition claims a 1945
Reno divorce obtained by his
mother and guardian, Mrs. Fran
ces Farah, is not valid because
she was not a bona fide resident
of Nevada.
Named as defendant in the
suit is the boy's father, Henry
Farah, a fabrics manufacturer.
The boy also asks $50,000
damages, claiming his father
misrepresented his financial po
sition in an agreement, incor
porated In the divorce decree,
which provided that he pay $55
weekly to support the mother
and boy.
The action was brought
through the mother. Her attor
ney, Bernard Kaufman, said the
mother could not sue to have
the divorce set aside because
she was a party to it, but that
Ronald, as an outside interested
party, could and did.
Romantic Dream
Becomes Nightmare
Los Angeles, Aug. 11 ff)
Virginia Catherine McMath Cul
pepper Ayres Briggs Ginger
Rogers, for short wants a di
vorce.
She's been doing some "grc
vious mental suffering" lately,
the 37-year-old actress said in
a complaint yesterday, all on
account of her 29-year-old third
husband, Jack Briggs.
When they were married In
1943, she exulted: 'He's every

mony. Ginger divorced Lew
Ayres in 1940 and Vaudevillian

1950 Conservation
Program Announced
Farmers of Oregon will be en
couraged to use the erosion con
trol and soil building practices
of the 1950 agricultural conser
vation program to make the best
use of land taken out of allot
ment crops, E. Harvey Miller,
chairman of the state PMA com
mittee said today.
The national list of approved
conservation practices has just
been received and a state list
Is now being prepared for use
in counties. ,
The chairman said the state
wheat allotment of 944,891 acres
calls for a reduction of 191,109
acres from the 1, 136,000 acres
seeded in 1949, and reductions
may be needed in other crops al
so. Where practicable the seed
ing of grass and legumes will be
encouraged. This will make it
possible to build soil reserves for
the future and at the same time
provide feed for additional live
stock. With livestock numbers
low, an increase will bring about
a better production balance. It
will be balancing production,
not cutting production, the state
chairman said.
W. M. Tate, chairman of the
Marion county agricultural con
servation asnociation, announc
es that notices of 1950 wheat
acreage allotments are being
mailed August 12, in Marion
county. Each farmer's allotment
represents his" individual share
of the county allotment of 13,530
acres.
