With greens from the forests gracing the interior, Jacksonville’s famous Marble Comer is prepared for the holiday season, according to Sally Cole, manager. The Cor ner has been bringing many out- of-towners to this city for supper dances, lunches and refreshments, and many friendly groups are ex pected during the season, particu larly til] all Christmas presents have been exchanged at the stores and New Years resolutions have been tried and found wanting. In preparation for the season, Miss Olive Gardner has been added to staff at the Marble Comer and a special invitation is being ex tended to diners and after-theater groups to enjoy Jacksonville's wel come at the old landmark, which has been refitted with an excellent dance floor, booths, entertainment and authentic bar and two (2) sets of swinging doors The Marble Comer is open until 1 a m. every night.

A fellow who has unbounded confidence in the integrity of the law said to me, recently, "It is conclusive thut Insull could not have been guilty of all the things he was accused of because the law has proved him innocent and turned him loose." I replied, "Mis ter, if Insull wax innocent as you say, what In hell did, he skip the country for? And why did he fight extradition so fiercely?

Jacksonville's town basketball team added another victory to their winning beginning this fall by downing the high school quint 18-19 at the local gym Wednesday night in a close, interesting game. Roger Card led the townies’ scor ing with seven points while Byron Backes equalled the record for the high bnsketeers. The squads lined up as follows: Jacksonville town team: Ray Ward 6, Roger Card 7, Wayne Combest, Don Dorothy 2, Bud Reinking 4, Ray Hunsaker. High school quint: Flitcroft, Backes 7, Bud Mitchell 3, Russell Ayres 3, Joe Nee 2. fertility. The idea has been de veloping in minds of several resi dents of the section for some time, and this week's meeting marked the first definite step toward real ization of the project, which would cost in the neighborhood of $200.- 000, total required to construct the 100-foot high Emigrant creek dam. Applegate's community leaders feel that present governmental set up which looks toward develop ment of natural resources and water control is favorable to the project, which has much merit to recommend it. Interested residents and landowners of Applegate val ley are urged to be present at next Wednesday night’s meeting, at which time the organization will take on more definite shape. SAVOLDITOBE HERESATURDAY Jumping Joe Savoldi, famous wrestler who packs stars in his feet, will meet a boy after his own heart Saturday night in Pete Belcastro, belligerent Italian from Sacramento. It was Pete who turned off the lights for the Red Demon last Thursday night, there by winning the right to get roped in with the treacherous Jumping Joe. For once in his life Medford f.tns cheered Belcastro’s unorthodox ring tactics a week ago when he met the well-hated Red Demon, who had slugged his way over a half dozen favorites here. Belcas tro succeeded in catapulting the Demon from the ring with his fly ing dropkick, which rendered the masked meanie blotto for the count and the match. Although odds fa vor Jumping Joe to get in the most dropkicks—both love to kick up their heels—Belcastro is re spected as a tough Italian himself and may surprise the great and only. Much interest attends the match, set for Saturday night this week at the Medford armory, and another sell-out boxoffice event is expected. As curtain-raiser for Saturday night’s event, Bonny Muir, tower ing Australian favorite, will meet the Red Demon, successor to this match possibly meeting Savoldi the following week. Opening bell will be heard at 8:30 and cash customers are ad vised to secure reservations at ear liest possible moment. There will be a slight increase in low admis sion rates this Saturday. Promoter Mack Lillard explained, for Sa- voldi's appearance. . ----------- •----------- If interested, better buy your supply of that new drug for pro longing life before the GOP hears of it— Weston Leader.
