Skilled Labor
Now Available
Lebanon, Dec. 21 Skilled
and qualified workers in nearly
every line are available in the
Lebanon area in greater nunv
ber now than at any time since
the end of the war, according to
Fred Worral, manager of the
local office of the Oregon state
employment service.
Jobs not only are hard to find
for seasonal employes laid off
during the winter months, but
also for mechanics, mill men.
building trades workers and
many others. Home owners and
employers with part-time work
should exert every effort to pro
vide employment during the
next three months until spring
activity begins, Worral said.
"The population of this area,
like other sections of Oregon,
has been increasing rapidly,"
commented Worral. "Possibly
we can't find work for all of
the newcomers and others who
need a regular income, but we
should provide for our steady
skilled workers who are a part
of this community."
"Our office has applications
for hundreds of experienced men
and women who are able and
willing to tackle anything. Many
jobs need to be done. Let us

Gable's Bride
Like Lombard
Hollywood, Dec. 21 Mi
Friends of Clark Gable said to
day his bride, blonde Lady Syl
via Stanley, bears a "peculiar
resemblance" to his last wife,
the late Carole Lombard. And
their runaway wedding yester
day was like his elopement with
the gay movie star 10 years ago.
"He proposed yesterday, and
I said "yes" as fast as I could,"
Lady Stanley said after the sud
den ceremony at Solvang, Calif.
"We decided to get married
because Clark suddenly found
he had the day off," Miss Lorn
bard had said after she married
Gable at Kingman Ariz., in
1930.
Like the late movie comedi
enne, Lady Sylvia is slim and
gay, with long blonde hair. She's
about the age Miss Lombard
would have been. And, while
Miss Lombard started as a Mack
Sennett bathing beauty, Lady
Sylvia was a London chorus girl
before she nabbed the titled
Lord Ashley for the first of her
four husbands.
Miss Lombard "completely
remade her personality" to keep
Gable happy, and friends said
Lady Sylvia may have to do the
same. She's as feminine as Miss
Lombard used to be before she
turned herself into a hunting
and fishing pal for Gable.
Michigan Cow Wins
World Championship
Flint, Mich., Dec. 21 U.B A
4-year-old Holstein cow today
claimed the world's milk produc
tion championship.
Spokesmen of several cattle
organizations said they watched
yesterday as Forbes K. Merkley
milked Minnow Creek Eden re
peat of the final gallon of the
35,240 pounds of milk she has
produced in one year.
The new mark is for cows of
all ages milked three times
daily. A Wisconsin Holstein set
the previous record of 35,207
pounds.
In winter the lynx grows tufts
of hair on its feet that act as
snowshoes.
'Impossible1 Christmas Wish
To Come True for Small Boy
CALEXIO, Calif., Dec. 21 W Some small boy here is going
to have an "Impossible" Christmas wish come true.
On Christmas eve it will snow on this California-Mexican
border town for the first time since 1932. And all because of a
letter to Santa Claus.
The post office received the
note In which the boy, who
didn't sign his name, told Santa
how good he had been all year
and how sad he was that he
couldn't play in the snow at
Christmastime, like northern
boys.
All he wanted this Christmas
was a snowstorm.
The post office passed the let
ter on to the Chamber of Com
merce and the board of direc
tors decided they would fulfill
this wish.
So, starting at 3 p.m. Satur
day, planes of the border flying
service will take off and, using
crop-dusting ejectors, drop snow
over the city. Snow will be
freighted in from California
mountain areas. Santa Claus
himself plus a few helpers
will load it into the planes.
The only thing now that can
hinder this tampering with the
elements is a switch in the ele
ments themselves.
But the Chamber of Com
merce, right on its toes, brightly
declared:
"In case of rain Saturday we
will have our snow fall on
Christmas day."

Doctor Dead in
Suicide Pact
Chattanooga, Tenn., Dec. 21
An apparent double suicide pact
between a prominent doctor and
his wife was completed Tues
day with the death of Dr. Jo
seph B. Crawford, 34.
However, the purpose of the
double suicide to provide their
two children with an income
may have failed. A $15,000 life
insurance policy Crawford took
out last month contained a
clause barring payment in case
of suicide within two years.
Meanwhile, simple funeral
services were to be held this
afternoon for his wife, Mrs. Mil
dred Minderman Crawford, for
mer New Orleans socialite. Her
body was found beside her dy
ing husband in their fashionable
Lookout Mountain residence
Sunday.
One of Crawford's two chil-
