A CQUISITTON of the 17-acre Olds tract, just north " of Bear creek bridge, for city park purposes was talked for many years but it was not until December of 1944 that the talk crystallized into action. At that time a group of 22 public spirited firms and individu als contributed a total of $20,000. purchased the land and presented it to the municipality. a A SPECIAL levy of $62,500 voted by the towns people was later found completely inadequate for pool construction as postwear inflation whirled building costs skyward. The work of landscaDine and Drovidiner the vari ous facilities required was carried on as city funds Eermitted and there was commendable effort by the ions club to raise money to complete the pool. Finally, a second bond issue was voted, in Hay, 1949, this time for $75,000, to permit completion of the entire program, T HASN'T been all smooth sailing since the neces sary funds were provided, however. Material hortaees, contract difficulties and other matters have helped to delay completion untiUhe present time. THE various steps, trials and tribulations leading to final attainment of the goal are mentioned here bv wav of explaining why Hedford has more than casual interest in the opening of the park and pool and why all the fanfare and ceremonial is scheduled for the official dedication this atternoon. It has been a lone, hard pull but we made it. Hedford has reason to be proud and will the kids enjoy that pool this summer ! ! h.L.r .

INEQUITABLE distribution of the $30 billion spent i- annnnllv mi riiVhwnv rrflnsnnrt.atinn is main cause of the traffic crises, says this engineer. He points out that the imbalance finds 90 cents and more out of every dollar being spent on the vehicle and its opera' tion and less than 10 cents on the roadbed. He cites the fact that new cars purchased last year figured at a conservative average of $1,800 per unit, totaled nearly $10 billion.

It is nar row, rough m spots, and in generally poor condition. This highway carries heavy traffic serving not only through travel as the main artery between Cali fornia and Oregon, but the thickly populated inter mediate area between the two major cities of the county. THOUSANDS of cars pass over it daily, their worth representing literally millions of dollars, but the roadway itself remains little better than when first installed years ago. E.C.F. The New Game District Crosstown By Roland Coe T CnIH.umnT.nM 6-3- 5- "l'm sorry I haven't another fly like the one I caught these on, but if you happen to have some polar bear hair I can tie you up one in a jiffy." In the Day's News BY FRANK JENKINS In providence, Rhode Island, back in 1949 a Mrs. Sophie How arth died and left behind her a IB-room mansion and three tom cats. In her will, she specified that the tomcats must live in the house and that a Miss Elizabeth Bernie must be paid $10 a week to come in each day and care for them. That went on for a year. Then the will came up before a pro bate judge. He took a look at the house and ruled that it is better suited for human habitation than for cats. Then he took a look at Miss Bernie. He gave her the cats and $4,000 to care for them in her own home. Result: Mrs. Hbwarth's relatives are happy because the cats are out and they can get paying tenants into the lo-room nouse. ine Bernie gal is happy because ten bucks a week for coming in every day isn't much in these days whereas four thousand iron men all in a pile is quite a wad. 41IC IdlS, AU gUCN, UU1I I 6''' a darn. fully.

Activation of the new Southwestern Oregon Game Supervisory District last week should bring a new and better deal in game matters in these parts. Administrative headquarters for the district will be Roseburg where a building located on the highway just north of town has been purchased by the Game commission. James Vaughn, former superintendent of the Rock Creek Fish Hatchery, has been named super visor for the new game district, his authority extend ing over Coos, Curry, Douglas, Jackson and Josephine counties. ()NE of the chief complaints against the state game commission has been the lack of local attention. Sportsmen and other interested parties naturally pre fer to talk face to face with commission officials on the home ground without having to make the long trek to state headquarters. The commission may have missed a bet by not locating the district headquarters at a more central point but that is a phase which can be corrected later if a move is found advisable.

When it rains several days in succession in the Big Town thousands of New Yorkers blame it on the may or's rainmaker, Dr. Wallace Howell. These people are not kidding, either. They sincerely believe it. Incidentally, Doctor Howell is paid $100 a day. I wonder what became of Hatfied, the "rain-maker" engaged by the City of San Diego some years ago. Whether or not Hat field was actually responsible for it, the fact remains that aft er he went to work it rained so much In San Diego the city was Hooded. So much damage was done the city officials threat ened to sue Hatfield for that In stead of paying him the fee they had promised him for mak ing rain. Asking Oueries from clients. Q. Was Pancho Villa, the boxer, a Mex ican? I claim he was. My sister-in-law says he was a Fili pino. A. You seem to have an interesting sister-in-law. Must be quite a sports-fan. Anyway, she's right. Pancho Villa was a native of the Philippine Islands. He was once the flyweight champion of the world. Can you state offhand how much a fly weight boxer weighs? If you can't. a.sk your sister-in-law. She probably knows. Q. Do you know a song entitled "I Want- cha?" A. No, sir. However, there is a greeting card verse which goes as follows: I wantcha whan I m happy, I wantcha when I'm blue. Even when I am mad atcha I wancha yes, I do. Passing by Kate bmith. Chanteuse and news commentator. Born under the sign of Taurus.

Lois De Fee. Amazoni an night spot entertainer. She is six feet four inches tall and weighs 175 pounds but still manages to be a glamour girl. Many men have a definite pref erence for unusually large women. That was proven years ago by the success of that burl esque troupe called "Billy Wat- i IIIIIMimillMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIM, son's Beef Trust" which fea tured a number of huge chorus girs. Mules & Women "Not all women who k eep food budget down to unusually low figures deserve the credit they get for being clever man agers, writes a Pittsburgh ma tron. "Much depends upon the type of husband a woman has to feed. If the husband is a healthy fellow who has a good appetite and is a good judge of the quality of food, that makes it a little difficult for his wife. Same of these women who boast of their low food budgets are married to dyspeptic men with small appetites or to men who, being no judges of qual ity, will stand for cheap food." Art of Kissing It was Henry T. Finck, au thor of that monumental work titled "Romantic Love and Per sonal Appearance," who, in discussing the subject of ocsu lation, said: "Kissing comes by instinct and yet it is an art which few understand proper ly. In kissing a girl put your right arm around her n e c k, your fingers under her chin, raise the chin, then gently but firmly press your lips on hers." Epitaphs Of which of your life's ac complishments are vou most proud? Thomas Jefferson be lieved people should write their own epitaphs and in them indi cate which of their accomplish ments they wished remembered. For himself Jefferson wrote this epitaph: "Here was buried i nomas Jefferson, author of iha Declaration of American Inde pendence and of the Statute of Virginia for Religious Freedom and father of the University of Virginia." Pleats Note Some people are certainly dif ficult to please. A man writes me that around 1943, when he was living in the East, I men tioned that Reno. Nev., was a good place to live for people suf fering with hay fever. "Acting on your suggestion," he says, "I moved to Reno in 1943. Since that time I have been free of hay fever. My wife and children love Reno but I don t like it. It s too lonesome." o 4-H Clrb News Upper Rogue 4-H Pig Club The meeting was called to or der by President Eddie Peile.

Charleen Peile, Secretary NOTICE by the papers that cows all over the country are bowing a tendon in their zeal to produce more milk. As a result of this laudable effort on the part of the bovines, do we have more cream in our cof fee? Do we spread the butter thicker on our bread and fry steaks in it instead of lard? Humh-uh! All that happens is that our government is piling up butter in storage warehouses. It has in the neighborhood of a hun dred million pounds of the stuff stashed away now and expects to have 300 million pounds by the end of the year. Meanwhile, we eat margarine. OUR kind-hearted old Uncle Sam is spending a whale of a lot of money these days. I forget how much he is running into debt every hour, because I never was much good at arithmetic, but he is going into the red at the rate of about six billiort simoleons per year. We're all worried about it. We know that you can't go on forever spending more than you take in without getting into serious trouble sooner or later. Even the members of congress are worried about it down in their secret souls. BUT THEY CAN'T DO ANY THING ABOUT IT BECAUSE THIS IS A CONGRESSIONAL ELECTION YEAR AND THE CONGRESSMEN ALL BE LIEVE THAT IF THEY QUIT SPENDING THE VOTERS WILL HEAVE THEM OUT ON THEIR EARS. SILLY, Isn't it? Even sillier than leaving a 16-room mansion to three tom cats who would probably rather prowl the alleys on their own. SUPPOSE somebody got out a petition and threw our pro fligate Uncle Samuel Into vol untary bankruptcy.
