April 7. 1950 A Nichols' Worth of Comment On By HARMAN United Press Washington, Apr. 7 (U.R) Men, if you have a helpmate who blows her marcel when you sneak in late and further ir ritates you by her pink things in the oatn room to dry don t get sore! Ladies, if you have a man who dribbles his ashes on the carpet and wont pick up his underwear don't get sore! We have the word of a girl a study of the Barman Nichols who has made 'perfect mate" situation and has come to the conclusion there is no such thing. She is dark-haired, pretty, dynamic Betty Cashman, an ac tor's and personality coach on New York's Broadway. At Betty looks at it, it's a good tiling that no mate is perfect. "It would be awful,'' she said. "Being married to a person who was perfect would be well, in sufferable. We'de either be borud stiff or find ourselves spending all our time beating off com- peitors for their affections." Betty is the author of a per sonality development book colled "You in Personality and Acting." Observations Unconfined . She does not or didn't when I talked with her confine her observations to the little guy who marches down the aisle with nothing more than half a month's rent in his jeans. Mot even celebrities, she said, can be rated tops' in more than a few attributes. Take women, quoting Betty. To approach perfection, the perfect woman would have to wear the figure of Marie Mc Donald, the intensity of Bctte Davis, the piquancy of Mary Martin, the wit of Dorothy Park er, the intellect of Clare Boothe Luce, the projection of lallu- lah Bankhead, the sheer "fe maleness" of Hedy Lamarr and the lovely mysteriousness of Vivian Leigh. All put together if that were possible we'd have a female H-bomb (statment by Nichols). Take men, again quoting Bet ty. The Perfect Man The perfect man ought to hang on his frame the physique of Mr. America, the magnetism of Cary Grant, the glib tongue of Groucho Marx, the personal case of Arthur Grodfrey, the he manness of Clark Gable, the wis dom of Bernard Baruch, the busi ness acumen of Billy Rose, and the sex appeal of Tyrone Power. No man has it (statment by Nichols). "It would take quite a lassy to hold onto a man like that," Betty said. But she has arrived at some (BE iL MM Company OREGON 2-6123 AN DREWS ROAD This and That W. NICHOLS Future Writes thing resembling a formula to follow in the search for a mate however imperfect. "Select one for the basic qual ity that seems closest to or most lacking in your own personal ity," Betty said, "and then let said mate relax and be himself or herself. Both Have More "Actually, every woman has more of the quality of which La marrs are made than she sus pects. And every man has a lit tle more of the Gable in him than he knows. Everybody has personality." As for Betty Cashman herself. She's still single. She's too busy trying to smoke out the personality in others. Or maybe she's seen too much of other personalities. ' Phoenix Scout Troop Jamboree Saturday Phoenix, Apr. 7 Plans have been completed for the Boy scout jamboree and carnival to be held Saturday, April 8, in the Phoenix grade school gymnas ium from 7:30 to II p.m. This event is being sponsored by the Phoenix Lions' club and Scout Troop 15 for the purpose of rais ing funds to send a delegate to the Scout Jamboree to be held at Valley Forge. Pa., in June. The scout has already been chosen by his troop and will be introduced Saturday night. Plans for the carnival include many booths and fun-making stunts, and an auction to be con ducted by Col. A. H. Dudley, One of the features will be the refreshment booth. It is stated that fun for every one is being planned, and the cooperation of the community is invited. Leaders point out that this event is not to be confused with the "Scouting Adventure" expo sition to be staged in the Med- ford armory April 15. Cold Drives Truman Into Hibernation Key West. Fla.. Apr. 7 (U.R) It was so cold at the winter White House today that the cocoanuts and President Truman went into hibernation. Asked for comment on the sudden plunge of the thermo meter into the fifties, the presi dent peered from behind two navy blankets and said or-r-r. The temperature last night droDDed to the middle fifties, the coolness accentuated by a 26 knot wind howling in from the Gulf of Mexico. The president lay aside his swimmine trunks and got into sensible woolens. Houseboys kindled a fire.

On the Side"8 f- v- Durlin (Distributed by King Futures Syndicate, Inc.) I MMIIIIIIIIIIIIIiaiMMHItOII Saw Fannie Ward in Palm Beach today. In newspaper items iier first name is often spelled "Fanny," but Fannie is correct. However, Fanny is correct for the first name of Fanny Brice. Fannie Ward's age is often the subject of discussion. The discus sion, of course, is inspired by Fannie's ever-youthful appear ance. She was born in St. Louis, Mo., on February 22, 1872. She .nade her first stage appearance in New York in 1890. She be gan appearing in films in 1913. Her greatest film was the one titled "The Cheat," in which her leading man was Sessue Hayaka wa. Fannie has been married to her present husband, Jack Dean, about 35 years. Sidelights Am informed that after 26 years of marriage a Detroit ma tron is expecting her first blessed event in June. Imagine a woman having her first child a year after .ier silver wedding. I doubt even Brooklyn can top that. Horses St Women Who was it said: "The world is full of women and the women are full of wile"? Anyway, a feminine subscriber claims the reason so many infants say "Papa" before they do "Mama is that they are secretly taught to do so by their mothers. Hie idea being that the father will be so pleased because of this it will be easy to get him to help iake care of the baby. That as a result of the infant saying "Pa pa" first the proud father will cheerfully walk the floor with the child, do long stretches of oaby sitting without complaint and gladly take the infant out .ii the baby carriage. This will give the mother a good chance to rest. "Just another one of the many cases of women outsmart ng the men," says my Informant. Those Dimes It was at Ormond Beach, Fla., John Rockefeller began his cus tom of handing shiny new dimes to young people, accompanied by a brief lecture on practicing thrift as an aid to achieving a fortune. Rockefeller played golf regularly at Ormond Beach until he was 89 years old. When a lit tle younger he rode a bicycle trom stroke to stroke followed bv two valets. One valet carfied the golf clubs and the other car ried crackers and milk and a blanket to be spread on the ground when Mr. Rockefeller wanted to rest. If Mr. Rockefel ler sliced a ball Into the brush causing it to be lost he wouldn't jive up looking for it for at least uilf an hour. Asking Queries from clients. Q.

Serious Case Calling all phonograph record collectors and experts! I have a serious matter in which your as sistance is needed. It seems the husband of a Californian had an ancient recording by the Boston Pops of a number titled "Espen arlem." She accidentally sat on this pet record of her husband and broke it. Now she is in the doghouse and will not be able to get out until she gets her spouse another copy of this record. She has tried everywhere in her sec tion with no success. Can any- ooay among the clientele help his poor woman out of her ter rible predicament by advising ier where she can get a copy of the aforementioned record? Please Note On both ends of the steel bridge crossing the Suwannee river near Oldtown, Fla., are overhead inscriptions reading "Way down upon the Suwanee river." it is generally believed Stephen Foster, composer of the song, never saw the Suwannee river but took th ename from a nap. However, some Florida historians insist Foster visited Columbus, Fla., a town in Suwannee county, a year before the song was published. Flying Disk Sighted Winging Over Salem Salem. Ore.. Apr. 7 (U.F) Master Sgt. Edward N. Snider, who has been In the army 17 years and is familiar with air craft, said today he saw a "fly ing disk" over Salem at 4:15 p.m. Thursday. Sergeant Snider said: "I was driving west on State street when I saw it. Two lads in a topless model "T" Ford were parked in the middle of the in tersection at about 15th street staring at the sky. "I stopped, too, and looked up. It appeared to be a large bright silver flat-shaped craft. It was moving south and suddenly gain ed altitude and disappeared. We watched It for about a min ute. Those boys could verify my story. The object seemed to be about over the airport when I saw it." Officials at McNarv field, in cluding the tower. United Air Lines and the weather bureau, said they had seen no such ob led. The weather bureau added it had not put up any balloons at that time. M'i completely euto. mat ic!
