Residents of Camp White and vicinity are asked to be on the lookout for the tiny planes, many of which fly out of the owner's sight and some of which are lost permanently. These planes rep resent many hours' work for the builder and quite a bit of ex pense. They are covered by rules regulating model aircraft by the Academy of Model Aeronautics which is a division of the NAA and is the national governing body for model planes. This or ganization provides for prosecu tion under the law of individuals who have unauthorized posses sion of these planes. Anyone finding a model plane may con tact the owner through Ed Sims at 23 North Fir, or by phoning 2-2472. The Farallon islands are 26 miles west of California's Golden Gate.

II Queen Audrey of 1950 Roundup Said To Be Natural Horsewoman Riding horseback comes natur ally for Audrey Wooldridge, se lected queen of the ninth annual Jackson County Mounted Sher iffs' Posse 1950 Rogue River roundup. Born to the saddle, Queen Audrey is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Wooldridge, route 2, Central Point. The Wooldridges are breeders of horses. Her mother is an accomplished horse woman. An older sister, Joyce, is a horsewoman, too. Sixteen-year-old Audrey is not to be out-done by the seniors in her family. For some time now she has been "breaking" horses which means she must be an equestrienne in her own right. Owns Three Horses Audrey is the owner of the registered thoroughbred, "Jerri," a dark chestnut gelding she will ride in the roundup; and two arabian geldings, one already broken. The other she is looking forward to "breaking out" this summer during school vacation. Queen Audrey is a junior at Central Point high school, and aside from spending time on horseback, she pursues a number of other activities. At school she enters such extra-curricular ac tivities as basketball, volley ball and baseball. Lately she was ap pointed junior girls' track meet captain. Commercial subjects are her favorites, typing in particu lar. Right now she plans to be come a secretary. For a hobby she named col lecting horse pictures, particu larly those of arabians and quar terhorses. Cake a Specialty A little shy at making claims in the culinary arts, she did say she could "whip out a meal," with her specialty being choco late cake with "lots of goop." It seems that is her father's fa vorite. Mother Woolridge had a word to say about her daughter's housework capabilities and said, "She's an excellent dishwasher." The limelight rests lightly on Queen Audrey. She was a prin cess of the 1949 roundup, too, ....AROUND B VIRGINIA United Praia Hollywood. May 6 U.R) Ed gar Bergen gdt a girl to hold on his lap today. Her name's "Po d i n e Puffing- t o n" and Charlie Mc Carthy's so jealous he bit his lip till the sap flowed. The painted splinter doesn't mind sharing his laughs with the dewy-eyed dummy. What burns him up is shar ing her with Virginia, HacPheneS Bergen! Podine has blonde curls, big blue eyes, a sweater-girl shape and a fascinatin' southern drawl. Charlie's complaint is that Bergen keeps her all to himself. Says he can't even get close enough to make a pass. "Podine's out of Charlie's class," Bergen says loftily. "I'm not saying this because she's mine . . . but she's the most won derful woman in the whole world. "She's not for Charlie, though. She's over 18. He's still a minor." Bergen unveiled maybe "in troduced" is a better word Miss Podine a few nights back at Wilbur Clark's Desert inn in Last Vegas, Nev. She danced, fluttered her eyelashes, wiggled her curves, agreed to "look at his etchings" and brought down the house. Bergen says he got half of Po dine's name from a lady news paper reporter on the New Or leans Times-Picayune. "She interviewed me once and I've never forgotten her," he added. "Her name was Podine Schoenberger and she was a cracker-jack newspaper woman. "I wasn't sure this was the time for my Podine's debut," Bergen confessed after her first performance. "But I guess she's ready. In fact, she's ripe." She's also expensive. Charlie and Mortimer didn't nick Ber gen for more than $500 each. But Podine's running up more bills than Bergen lets his wife get away with. She's Costly Doll So far she's set him back over $3,000. And she's only got one plunging neckline to her bosomy curves. Any babe knows that puts her in the "haven't-a-thlng-to-wear" category. "She's made of plastic glass," Bergen explained. "The top half of her is, anyhow. There isn't any bottom half." He's saving money there. Po dine hasn't any legs so he won't have to keep her In nylons and dancing slippers.

A true horsewoman, blonde, blue-eyed Queen Audrey will "set the saddle" at the coming rodeo in regal style. HOLLYWOOD MaePHERSON Cerrespoadant has to get her curls beautified every month. "A man named Guy Kimple designed her torso,'' Bergen said. "Her head is plastic. Erving Geis did that. And a portrait painter named Innenzo Darrio fixed up her face." The effect is pretty sensation al for a dummy. It's better'n that. It's sensational even for a live blonde with or without legs. Her insides are even more in triguing. There's Just a big draft where her heart and lungs oughta be but her head's full of wires and hinges and a lot of push-button hocus-pocus that's Bergen's pride and joy. "I work Charlie and Mortimer through where their spines would be," he explained. "Po dine's the first dummy, as far as I know, to be worked through the head." Podine's a southern cutie from "Joh-jah" and she's ready for anything. "Her uncle has promised to give her $5,000 for every year she postpones getting married," Bergen says with a sly wink. "But I don't know if she'll make it. Podine's discovered sex. She's getting a little anxious."
