Candidates File
In Polk County
Dallas L. W. Plummer has
filed as a republican candidate
for the officer of county treas
urer. Tracy Staats, present in
cumbent, has indicated he will
not be a candidate. C. L. Bur
bank has filed to succeed him
self as republican candidate for
county commissioner. He is
completing his first four-year
term.
R. V. Carlson of Rickreall has
filed for the office of assessor
on the republican ticket. He
was defeated in the primaries
by Mrs. Nettie Helgerson in
1948. Ed C. Dunn, present as
sessor, who has been in office for
20 years, is expected to file on
the democratic ticket.
Josiah Wills has indicated he
is making a voluntary retire
ment as county school superin
tendent. There are no candi
dates as yet, the office being
non-partisan. A county survey
or and coroner are to be elect
ed, also a representative for the
legislature, an office now held
by Frank Farmer.
In line with elections and vot
ing the office of Edward B. Ham
ilton, county clerk, has been
busy sending out notices to those
persons who have not voted in
the past two elections. Many
persons move into a different
precinct between elections or out
of the county but under the law
their names cannot be removed
from the poll books for two
years. Some 1000 cards have
been sent out and unless these
persons register before April 15
they will be unable to vote at
the primaries on May 16.
The toughest time to keep
quiet, she says, is when she
finds out somebody's going to
get fired before he finds it out
himself.
"That's when I want to warn
him to save his money," Rose
murmered. "But I have to keep
my mouth shut, no matter
what."
Her favorite cuticle customer
is Clark Gable who gave her her
first job in Hollywood. Rose
says she would've starved if it
hadn't been for him.
'Times were really tough
back then," she recalls. "But
Clark insisted I use his dressing
room as my office, and when
ever anybody came in to see him
he'd say: 'This is Rose's day. You
gotta get a manicure or I won't
talk.' "
You can't get Rose to spill
any scandal about her custom
ers, but she will admit her big
gest problem-child is Vic Ma
ture.
"He's a practical joker," she
shuddered. "One day I picked
up his hand and it came off! I
screamed. Then I realized he had
a false hand in one sleeve."
Orson Welles holds her endur
ance record for a single mani
cure. "I started on him at 10 a.m.,"
she grinned. "And until 5:30
p.m. I chased him from the set
to the dressing room to the com
missary and back again. But he
paid me double $28 plus
big tip."
Her most charming customer
is Tyrone Power, star of "Diplo
matic Courier." Her dullest is
Charles Coburn. He snores his
way through every manicure,
And her hectic-est is Marilyn
Monroe, who's usually so sur
rounded by drooling males Rose
has trouble polishing the right
hands.

various diseases reported to the
department of health. There
were no instances of smallpox or
diphtheria while just three cases
of typhoid and one of spotted
fever were reported.
In the field of tuberculosis

15 different American stock automobiles
equipped as you buy them were driven
by Motor Trend Magazine as hard as steel
and rubber can be driven. In these actual
road tests of efficiency and performance,
measured by the most accurate instruments
obtainable, Chrysler proved itself superior
to all others. In 13 tests Chrysler was first

Only by taking an engine to the limit of
ita potential, only by turning the corners
at high speeds, applying brakes for emer
gency stops, torturing body, springs and
shock absorbers, can you learn just what
performance you can expect from the make
of car you drive. Results of the Motor Trend
tests were conclusive ... as Chrysler, again,
proved itself the one best car in America,
The Motor Trend Award, like the numer
ous othor honors today's Chrysler has won,
is both a proof of and a tribute to Chrysler'!
magnificent FirePower engine and master
