O'BRIEN—Nothing stirring this
week. Taken as a whole. O’Brien-
ites were either exceptionally dull
or exceptionally cai'eful. We find
no evidence of homiejde, bridge
bombings, husband beatings, oi
even a medium-sized binge. If this
continues, your correspondent is
liable to lose the only paying job
she’s had in 15 years, so please,
make with the news!
Remember, getting your name
in the paper is a lasting claim to
fame, if you keep the clipping,
Your great-grandchildren will be
filled with prid« when they read
some 50 years hence, how you
made a shopping trip to Medford
on Oct. 5, 1952.
Following are a few of the items
we’d like reported:
Visitors—If former residents,
be sure they want publicity. When
Mrs. A. reads that Mrs. B. enter­
tained mutual friend Mrs. C.,
(who didn’t even telephone) Mrs.
A. will likely tve a little sore. Of
such things feuds are made.
Shopping trips—Depends on
what is purchased. A baby ele­
phant? Fine. You can’t get them
in Cave Junction. Groceries?
You’re a poor news risk. Local
merchants are good advertisers.
Accidents, arson, annihilation,
and ax murders—Also fine. These
rate the front page and your re­
porter rates a bonus.
Marriages and births—Excell­
ent, no comment needed.
Parties, showers, etc. — Get
names of all those present and a
few extra for ballast. Hell luitl.
no fury like a woman whose name
is omitted from a guest list.
Club meetings—We have mo«:
of these spotted, but should any
new Chowder & Marching Society
kspring up, please inform.
Not so newsworthy are:
Deer hunting-— No backstrap
yet, and besides it’s been overdone
-in this column. As far as we’re
concerned, a deer is only interest­
ing to another deer. Moreover, too
often venison eaters are not license
holders and should we report the
wrong hunter, we might end in the
accidents section.
Wife beatings—No news. Gives
other husbands ideas. Husband
beatings—yes. Gives wives ideas
This is strictly th«, woman’s point
of view.
Hangovers—Not unless accom
panied by concussion. ‘ Same for
Saturday nights on the town.
Having no yen for door-to-doo’
news hunts, and knowing that here-
say is a fine source of misinforma
tion, your reporter urges you to
leave items at the O'Brien Store
and expresses thanks for your an
ticipated help.

“Carbine Williams” is a story
of a rugged individualist, certain
he could go his own way without
anybody’s help. David Marshall
Williams found he was wrong. This
is the story he tried to tell his son
out couldn’t. So the warden of a
North Carolina prison toki it for
him.
And the boy learned for the first
time that his father had been in a
ehaingang for murder. He learned
something else too, about the wo­
man whose loyalty helped Williams
win his freedom and give to Amer­
ica’s fighting men one of their
most formidable weapons.
