I MT.PFORD MATL TRIBUTE, MEDFORD. OREGON', TUESDAY, AFOrST 17. 1937. PAGE SEVEN High-Powered Moochers Are Medford Guests on Free Trip Over Country BuslneM-like proof that Axnerlcuiti are not the money-grabber tHey ire pictured was offered here yestert ay : by nattily-dressed Paul Llvlngstc j. who with Mrs. Livingston U ne&ruig the end of 1000-day Journey during which they have been fed, clothed and aheltered entirely through free offerings of their fellow-men. Since lata 1934. Mr. and Mrs. Liv ingston have made three transconti nental trips and have never at any time put forth a cent of money lot anything indeed, have not haa coin in their pocket. These super moochers have lived royally. A care ful and- complete check of value oi all materials and service tendered them reveals that ettlMna of the country have advanced V28.615.13 for support erf the couple during their travels. The Livingstons arrived In Medford from the north Saturday and were to Wave thla morning, the 996th day oi their trek, for California, plan ning to reach Hollywood Friday to complete a thousand days of penni less wandering. Starting from the Tampa (Pla.) Tribune building In 1934 in a 16 Model-T Ford and possessing only tlhe clothes they were wearing, the Livingstons traveled through Chi cago to Ban Francisco, returned oy wny of St. Louis and then turned their automobile west again to New Orleans and north to Seattle. Since that time, they have pos sessed five cars, the best of food and clothing and have varied their lodgings from first-clasa tourist camps to the most exclusive hotels In the land. Livingston's brand of master-sales manship has produced startling re- i suits. Out of the 3192 requests made by the adventurers, there have been on iv 73 refusals. Such incredible success Is attrlb uted In part by Livingston to the natural warm - heartedneas of the average American citizen and also to the sense of humor exhibited by persons he has contacted, who, he says, almost Invariably get a big kick out of his story and his pur pose. His method of approach he told a Mall Tribune reporter, is one of complete frankness. "Whenever I a&k for anything, I never fall to make it plain thav 1 have no Intention nor desire to pay for anything I receive. They know I have nothing to offer In return. except perhaps an Informal recrtai of my adventures and my attitude on the matter." Livingston plans to write a book of the trip, concentrating on the psychological aspects and character traits of the American people in general. He has filled three large blank books with records of all gifts, nether service or goods. Each giver has presented him with an affidavit, either through a canceled bill or note, describing the gift and Its ex act market value. In that way, Mr. and Mrs. Livingston have not only been able to keep a minute finan cial record, but are also supplied with adequate proof to convince doubters. Every aid, no matter how small, is recorded and they range from the twenty-five cent receipt from an old melon vendor in the south to bills ranging from two to three hundred dollars at luxurious city and resort hoetelr.es. A few minutes consideration of the many and varied expenses ot the average motor trip will provide a small inkling of the difficulties be setting the couple and pays tribute to an amazing Ingenuity and suc cess In coping with them. The travelers nave never paid a highway or bridge toll of any kind, they own no proper registration papers for their car, have been given any and all sorts of comforts they desired. Cigarettes, haircuts, beauty parlor service, food and drink, gaso line, amusements their wants have been as myriad as those of your next-door neighbor, and all have been supplied. Even their automo biles have been given them and they are at present driving a 1931 model of a fairly high-priced car. Livingston pointed out that he and his wife always refuse to ac cept gifts which they do not want, although these have been offered In a number of cases. "We ask only for what we want, but we want the best and we have had it," he asserted. r -'75v V0CAT10NTRAINING ht : " I'fl ENJOYS BIG BOOS! n IN APPROPRIATION r sTr, ......
