X Mr, X, the man of a thousand trades, who officially finishes his ac tivities in MMford this evening, does not confine all his work to fixing things. He wss taken for a ride (not in the Chicago fashion) on Monday afternoon, to view the county fair grounds, which he understands have been dormant for many seasons past. It has been suggested by a group of cltleens to turn the racetrack into a lake, where aquatlo aporta, to gether with a modern swimming pool and plcnlo grounds could be devel oped. An Island would be left In the cen ter of the lake, for the use of the children, with shade trees and the usual swings, see-saws and parallel bara for their enjoyment. Boathouses could be erected for storage of small pleasure craft, and avich things as motorboat racing, sail ing coiiWsta and rowing matches held. The water for flooding the lake la available without coat to the tax payers. Mr. X -a of the opinion that It could be undertaken at a compara tively smalt cost, furnishing employ ment for the unfortunate men who are caught In the net of unemploy ment, and at the same time convert a property which Is now unproduc tive into a well-paying project. It has been put up to Mr. X to make a panoramic painting of the proposed layout which, when com pleted by him, will be on exhibition either at the Chamber of Commerce building or a prominent local store. I "With the largest advance member ship record of any presidential year in the history of the American Le glon, 33.08 per cent of the national quota for 1933, beginning January 1, being paid up as of noon, November 17, the Legion In Oregon is looking forward to a highly successful pro gram in national efforts to maintain proper trare for the disabled, to pro mote child welfare and Garry on the more than 300 activities of service to communities throughout the nation," says I. O. Oarlock, commander of Med ford poot. "State, or department, leaders of the Legion throughout the country are enthused," continued Command er Oarlock, "over the support the membership showing Indicates In the Legion's fight against the barrage of misrepresentation of figures and facts by 'Nel,' as the Legion calls the Na tional Economy league, and what the Legion calls 'NelV stepmother, the Chamber of Commerce of the United States. The opposition to adequate care of the disabled is rapidly losing ground, according to Legion officials, as statements are analyzed and proven untrue in many instances, particu larly when Included In every war and every pension of every war, as part of 'veterans cost, misleading the public to believe such coat Is yet to be met alone for World war veterans, "The fact also la becoming gen erally recognized, the Legion officials believe, that If the disabled veterans are thrown back upon their com munities, the burden of their care will fall upon the smaller local and state taxpayers, Instead! of upon the federal government, and that the re lief would affect only some 42,000 large Income taxpayers.

Katharine Cornell, in New Type Role Tests Ability as Classical Actress By NOEL THOBNTON. NEW YORK (AP) Although It Is arousing tempest of controversy. Hatharlne Cornell has great faith In her newest drama "Lucrece," which was Inspired by ehakespeare's poem, "The Rape of Lucrece." It la far afield from any role she ever hss acted and brlnga her at laat to that threshold the long has been approaching, the beginning of her ca reer as a classical actress. This daughter of a Buffalo, V. T physician carved out her reputation as one of the theaters truly great by playing such neurotic heroines ss those In "The Green Hat" and "Tne Letter." Several years ago she appeared In a pageant costumed ft Cleopatra, and managers at that time requested that she act Shakespesre. But she refused by saying, "I am not ready." Now, moving away from hef suc cessful run as the gentle Elizabeth Barrett Browning In "The Barretts of Wlmpole Street." she comes nearer to a classical role In the Shakespesre chsrscter. "I could have played Elizabeth Bar rett for four years." she says, "but that meant artistic death for me." As for her new play, she realizes that it will cause all manner of urgu ment among the critics and her pub lic. 'It Is Inevitable that -Lucrece' will stir controversy." she admits. "I am nrenared for that, but to me it is sucb a beautiful play that nothing will shake my faith In It. 1 feel -Lucrece- Is a test for my self. This Is not a sensational ven ture. To me It Is more than that, i want to discover If I am worthy of the classics, whether I have the aou lty to be a part of a truly noble and beautiful drama and therefore have the right to go further and produce other great claaslcal plays.' There la a rumor that she win laier present Shakespeare's "'Anthony and Cleopatra." She was asked If this were true. "I must wait and see If I bave It in me to act the classics." was her reply.
