No slick chicks allowed in this rocking- chair brigade. These elderly gals who sigh over Smith don't approve of all that 'teen-age "hooting' 'n' hollerin'." "We keep it very, very dig nified," explained Mrs. Ruth Kettle, a charter member of the gang. "None of this cheap whoop ing for us. We just meet at the different homes and listen to Jack's programs or his records. The hostess for the night al- Vu-flnU MacPherso knit . , , others crochet. And we have a wonderful time. Members Scattered "A lot of us live in Santa Ana or Anaheim or Orange. But we have 35 members scattered all over even as far as Holl wood. We don't mind driving 100 miles to hear this boy. Why, I drive to his raWio show at least three times a week." Mrs. Kettle, who has two grown children and will be a grandma any minute now, is brown-eyed and white-haired and cute. But she gets coy when you ask her age. "Just say I'm eligible for the club," she giggled. The grandmothers have two rules: all members have to be over 40 and they have to think this gent Smith is just about the most wonderful singer ever to vibrate a vocal chord.

The industry made its request in a test case dealing with the picture "Curly," which has been banned in Memphis, Tenn. The movie was made by the Hal Roach studios and was distrib uted by United Artists Corp., Hollywood. Both companies are appealing a decision ol the Ten nessee supreme court, which up held the Memphis ban. Eric Johnson, president of the Motion Picture Association of America, said in a statement that he hopes the U. S. supreme court will hand down a clear cut decision. "You can't have freedom of expression if any one medium of expression is censored," he said, "You can't dilute the constitu tional right of free expression without eventually destroying it." Johnson recalled that In a movie anti-trust decision two years ago, the high court placed motion pictures in the same class with the press, whose freedom is guaranteed by the constitu tion. Equality Unrecognized The picture Curly" shows white and negro children play ing together and occupying the same school room. In a letter in forming United Artists of the ac tion taken by the Memphis board of censors, chairman Lloyd T. Binford said: 'I am sorry to have to inform you that the board is unable to approve your 'Curly' picture with the little negroes as the south does not permit negroes in white schools nor recognize the social equality between the races even in children."

Oregon Farm Prices Lead National Index While the farm price index for the nation advanced one per cent during the month ending February 15, the Oregon index forged ahead as much as two and a half per cent, according to the Oregon State college exten sion service. At mid-February, however, the Oregon average was still six per cent below a year earlier. Only one major decline was noted in Oregon farm prices from mid-January to mid-February. That was in the price received by farmers for potatoes. Other principal commodities cither re mained the same or strengthened during the month. All meat animals advanced. Chickens were also higher but eggs held unchanged. Butterfat and wool prices were the same as a month earlier. Apples in creased, and in the grain and hay division, baled hay showed a substantial gain, but grains were unchanged to only slightly higher than a month earlier.
