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

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. They consist of three pin
point groups of rocky islets
spreading over seven miles of the
Pacific.

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,

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. But she

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."
