Charged in Theft Pretty Audrey Dolores Mohr (above),
charged with stealing almost $40,000 from her husband in
Baltimore, brought up the point almost everyone was sure
she would raise. Can a wife legally be accused of stealing
from her husband? Under common law a husband and
wife are considered one. One cannot steal from the other.

Highest Paid Child Actors
Insist on Playing Football
By VIRGINIA MACPHERSON
Hollywood, Fob. 20 (U.R) The highest paid child actors in radio
both have $150,000 contracts said today they'll toss it all away
if rehearsals ever interfere with football practice.
A fast play is more fun than a fast line, is the way David and
Ricky Nelson look at it.
David, 13, and Ricky. 9, arc
the sparkplugs of the Ozzie and
Harriet radio show. They're also
the only kids in the business
under a 10-year contract to
ineir parents.
This calls for 'em to be funny
on the Ozzie and Harriet show
once a week at salaries that'll
total $150,000 each by 1959. The
boys like this career stuff okay
as long as they can still play
football.
Comes the time rehearsals
and script-sessions interfere with
gridiron duties and the kids
have their bossess right where
they want 'em.
There's a special clause in
those contracts in line print
that says the deal's off.
David, who weighs in at 110
is first string quarterback at
Bancroft Junior high school and
the Hollywood YMCA eleven.
Ricky, a slightly scrawny 75, is
scat back for the sub team at
Marian Colbert school.
"We never want the show to
interfer with their normal lives,"
Harriet said. "AncJ we don't
want to force them down a path
they might be sorry about later."
There's another reason the
boys' bosses are so understand
ing. Pa was once a star quarter
back at Rutgers University be
fore he went into the band-leading
business. He was even head
coach for two years at Lincoln
high school in Jersey City.
His parental pride is cinched
either way. If the boys take up
football, he can always brag
they're chips off the old block
and tackle. And if they stick to
radio, he can still tell the old
timers he taught 'em all his gags.

Classmates of Russian
University Meet in Dallas
Dallas Two visitors to Dallas chanced to meet in a local church
here after not having seen each other since they were classmates
in the University of Moscow, Russia, some 38 years ago. One,
R ev. J. J. Penner, is a missionary attending a conference at the
Mennonite Brethren church, and the other, K. H. Neufeld, is here
from Canada to direct a cantata,
The Nazarene," in the E. M. B.
church Sunday and Monday.
The meeting was entirely co
incidental. Mr. Neufeld was at
tending a service in the M. B.
church when Rev. Penner was
introduced by Rev. G. H. Jant
zen, pastor. The pastor asked if
anyone had met the speaker else
where. At that time Mr. Neufeld
did not recognize his old classmate.
At a song service in the Grace
Mennonite church Sunday eve-
lng, in which Mr. Neufield was
partcipating, Rev. Penner walk
ed in late and was called upon
to say a few words to the audience.
Rev. Penner had learned the
identity of his classmate since
the morning service and stepped
forward to say, "I would like to
say hello to my -old friend and
classmate, Kornelius Neufield."
The musician was amazed, but
recognition dawned and the two
enjoyed a time of reminiscing
together.
Both men left Russia at the
time of the revolution in 1918.
Rev. Penner joined the famous
Jewish missionary, Leon1 Rosen
berg, and traveled with him
through south Russia, Bulgaria,
Germany and Poland. Through
the years he has remained in the
same work and is now with the
Jewish mission in Los Angeles,
Calif.
For nearly 30 years, Mr. Neu
feld has been in Canada where
he operated a printing shop. Al
though educated as a civil en
gineer he also has had special
musical training and conducts
cantatas in churches in the
United States and Canada.

To attract and keep good people, we've made tele
phone jobs stack up with the best. Here are some of
their features:
Good Wages: Fully-experienced employees who re
ceive the top rates earned the following in 1949:
(These are actual earnings based upon 1949 income
figures reported to the U. S. Bureau of Internal
Revenue.)
Average top rate employee earnings 1949... weekly
Switchboard Operating Employees . . . $57.50
Craftsmen: Installers, Linemen, Equipment
Maintenance Men, Cable Splicers, etc. . . 87.08
The average for all employees, including trainees
and many with only short experience was: Switch
board Operating Employees, $49.90 a week . . . Crafts
men, $70.66. (These figures are based on weekly
average earnings reported to the Bureau of Labor
Statistics for the last four months of 1949.)
Wage increases: Regular progression increases take
beginners from the trainee period 'to top rates in
eight years. Last year, some 46,000 non-management
telephone people received progression wage in
creases that's about three out of four.
Benefit plan: it's one of the nation's oldest and finest '
plans for pensions and protection against sickness '
and accidents. Today the minimum pension is $100
a month, at age 65, including social security.
Working conditions: Clean, pleasant surroundings in
an essential service ... a 40 hour week, or less . . . paid
vacations and holidays . . . These are just a few of the
items that make conditions enviable in the telephone
business.
Opportunity and security: Telephone work is the
kind a person can count on . . . twelve months a year.
Our employees have doubled in number in ten years.
There's always opportunity to get someplace in the
business. Of all the people working for us in 1939,
in non-management jobs and who are still with us,
a full third have been promoted to management.
Perhaps the best evidence of the qual
ity of telephone jobs is that plenty of
good people hat e kept coming into the
service and they stay a long time.
You are probably acquainted with
people who work for Pacific Telephone.
Next lime you see them why not ask
bow they feel about tbeir jobs.
