Grants Pass, Nov. 1 (IP)
Josephine County Pomona
Grange Saturday night adopted
a resolution censuring Morton
Tompkins, state grangemaster,
and the state organization for an
attempted "purge" of 22 house
members who voted for amend
ments to the initiative and ref
erendum laws at the 1949 ses
sion of the legislature.
Pomona master Victor Boehl
announced that the vote for the
resolution was 94 to S.
The nearly-unanimous vote
came after a brief argument be
tween Boehl and Elmer Mc
Clure, state grange overseer of
Oregon City, who was present.
Boehl charged the state grange
action, in effect, would "force
local grangers to help pay the
campaign expenses of a fight to
defeat local legislative candi
dates which the grange might be
supporting". McClure took the
floor to deny Boehl's statement.
Guy Carns, Fruitdale grange,
was elected pomona master to
succeed Boehl, who was not a
candidate.
MISSIONARY'S DENTAL TROUBLES
Father Regan Lost a Filling,
Finally Got His Tooth Filled
Maryknoll, N.Y. (U.R) Father Joseph W. Regan of Fairhaven,
Mass., a Maryknoll missloner in China, finally got his tooth filled,
according to his letter received here.
Father Regan lost a filling. The nearest dentist was at Kweilin,
70 miles from his station. Guided by a Chinese boy who said he
'knew the way, the missionary
set out.
First the boy took him to a
large office building in Kweilin
and escorted him to an office
where Father Regan asked for
the doctor.
A white-coated man looked at
his cavity, painted the tooth
with iodine and gave him a pre
scription lor tnroat gargle.

13 DISCIPLES OP MAGICIAN
Housekeeper Says Houdini
Spoke to Her During Seance
By JOHN M. ROACH
New York, Nov. 1 tin A housekeeper claimed today Harry
Houdini spoke to her over the telephone last Sunday midnight
during the annual spooky seance held in an effort to contact the
late magician's spirit.
The jangle of a telephone interrupted the silents mediations of
IS persons who sat with Joined-
hands in the darkened base
ment of the shadowy brownstone
where Houdini lived for 20
years until his death on Hal
loween in 1926.
The call was for Rose Bon
anno, SO, daughter of the pres
ent owner and former friend of
the magician. She had just left
the circle for fear that the num
ber 13 might discourage the
long-awaited spirit.
A few minutes more of silence.
Suddenly, she burst into the
room screaming that she had
Just spoken to "Harry."
But Joseph Dunninger, a mas
ter magician to whom Hcudlnl
entrusted a secret 10-word coded
message which he promised to
repeat after his death If spirit
ually possible. Indicated he
thought Miss Bonanno's imagina
tion was overworked by Hal
loween witches and goblins, no
doubt.
He has faithfully kept up the
ritual of trying to reach Hou
dini each year the eve of his
friend's death date and jealousy
guards the message he believe
never will be revealed.
Miss Bonanno said the "voice"
told her:
" 'Remember, I gave you pen
cils and paper and candy when
you were a child. I have a mes
sage for my good friend Dun
ninger. Tell him "Paper Magic"
page 118, figure 12'."
She produced the little known
volume by the late magician.
She and Dunninger turned to
page 118. There was no figure
12.
But Dunninger conceded a
diagram of a square on the page
might fit the third letter in the
code. He's going to study it,
but fully expects to sit at an
other seance the 24th next
Oct. SO.
A $10,000 prize offered by
Dunninger and hit associate to
anyone who can give him the
wording of the message has
never been collected. It was at
stake the other night when the
IS disciples of Houdini assem
bled at their meeting in Hou

There were no other dentists

watchmaker, who had a stand
on a narrow street.
While a curious crowd watch

priest's tooth from a small tube.

Baton Rouge, La. Louisiana's Spanish Moss crop may treble
its million-dollar annual take, the way the Louisiana department
of commerce and industry tells it. Here's what the department
says:
Spanish moss just grows and grows. It's hard to find a tree in
South Louisiana that isn t sport--

Some people like L.M. Jof-

it's there for the picking. There's
no planting, no cultivation. Just
harvest.
After it's gathered, the moss

after It's been ginned? That's
where the elder Joffrion comes
in.
"It's black gold," he says. "In
stead of throwing it away, like
we'd been doing for 40-odd
years, we save it. I've got ma

"It comes out a fine black

It's on this note the commerce

its report. It recalls that Loui

Unemployment
Jumps 225,000
Washington, Nov. 1 The
government reported today a
223,000 increase in unemploy
ment in the month ended Oct. 8.
But it said there was also a
rise of 38,000 in the number of
people with regular jobs, out
side of farming.
The census bureau indicated
the coal and steel strikes caused
some distortion in the figures.
In the first place, strikers are
counted as "employed" in the
bureau s tabulations.
It said, however, that the rise
in unemployment apparently
was due at least in part to the
fact that "a large proportion" of
strike-idle steelworkers and coal
miners were "seeking other em
ployment while off from their
regular Jobs."
As a result, they were listed
among the jobless who were
hunting work.

IF you want to know what's "the
newest thing" in automobile
engines, look at the Buick engine
pictured here, and you'll see the
words "valve-in-head."
But it happens that this isn't new
with Buick. As a matter of fact,
the valve-in-head engine was in
vented hack in 1902-U.S. Patent
No. 771095 and immediately,
Buick adopted the principle, which
became the first in a long string of
"Buick firsts."
Not everyone went for the idea
then. In spite of the fact that this
engine "breathes" more freely
gets fuel in and exhaust gases out
more easily others hung onto
their pet ideas.
Then came the airplane, with its
need for maximum power from
every drop of fuel and every
maker of internal combustion air
plane enginei adopted the valve
in-head principle.
And more recently with the hope
that higher-octane fuels will be
come available a lot of automo
tive engine designers are taking a
new look at the valve-in-head idea.
B
ut just for the record, we'd like
to point out that Buick got there
first.
And ever since, Buick has gone
steadily ahead, building up a name
as "valve-in-headquarters." Buick
engineers reshaped pistons to put
Fireball wallop in these engines.
They stepped up compression
ratios as fast as better fuels came
along.
So perhaps you'll want to re
member, when you hear the term '
"valve-in-head," that this is the type
of power that made Buick famous.
If others want to climb on the
bandwagon, we say "more power
to them" and no pun is intended.
But Buick has been doing more
with valve-in-head right from the
start.
And we might add it stands to
reason that Buick is not through
making this type of engine better
and better.
