(See story Page 1.) Pickin' Pears News, Gossip, Comment From Camp White By L. J. "Tick" Malarkey He was riding over town on the bus which meets the early morning train to have his eyes fitted for glasses. He said his name was Collins Tom Collins. It developed that Tom is a brother of Mike Collins who pro moted the Dempsey Gibbons heavyweight championship right at Shelby, Mont., years ago. Tom helped Mike with the promotion of that scrap and al though they didn't make any money he said they had a lot of fun. "In m y opinion Dempsey could have knocked out Tommy Gibbons any time after the third round. He was content to get a decision." Tom Collins enlisted in the army from his horn state in Wisconsin and went over seas with the 88th division and was in a light field artillery unit. His brother Mika was with the Knights of Columbus in those days as an athletic director. He died in 1044. Tom's health gave way in Se attle a year ago and shortly after that he came to Camp White. He declares that Dempsey is the greatest fighter of all time and these modern heavy-weights do not belong in the same ring with him. Tom has a fund of boxing lore and knew well most of the old time fighters. Paul Kearney, sheriff of Clat sop county, and Mrs. Kearney, along with their 19-year-old daughter, visited in Medford the past week. Mrs. Kearney and Mrs. Elliott Becken are sisters and while the sheriff attended to some business in Klamath Falls the two Astoria girls talked it over. Sheriff Kearney has held of fice for about the past 20 years and It is said that he can be sheriff of Clatsop county as long as he lives. He is a Greybeard from the Old War having done a hitch in the navy. Kearney Is in great demand whenever the Elks lodge has a social meeting. The stories he tells in the Swed ish, Finnish or Norwegian dia lect are without peer. As a young fellow on the Astoria high school football teams he was a mighty good tackle. "How are you, baby?" This the greetings of "Babe" Roberts dozens of times each day as members of Company 1 go down the corridors to the mess hall. "Babe" dines an hour later as he is on Company A; still he is out there early to say his typi cal good wishes to his legion of friends who pass by. ' During the mid-thirties "Babe" was on the Gun-boat Panay that was shelled and sunk by the Japs, who afterward were "so sorry" for the mistake. He was in the marine corps and since then has been a patient of veter ans hospitals. At Camp White he is on the stiff of the Dominews and is the creator of the cartoons that ap pear each issue. At all social events it is the "Babe" who as sists with the prizes. Despite the facts that it is hard for him to get around, "Babe" Roberts li a happy man and his constant -HOLIDAY SAL BUY ONE OF THESE LOW PRICED CARS FOR YOUR 4th of JULY VACATION SPECIAL TODAY 1947 Plymouth Spe cial Dlx. 4-dr.

VIRGINIA Unit.d Praia Hollywood, June 23 (U.R) Audie Murphy, America's most decorated soldier, got his first screen kiss to day and all he could gasp af terward was: "Golly, was I scared." H wasn't kidding. The man who per sonally knock ed off 299 nazis a few years back was stiff and nerv- o u s as he grabbed luscious Marguerite Chapman for his baptism into the mystic world of celluloid smooching. The director yelled "action" and Murphy took him up on it. He planted a burner on Miss Chapman's red lips that lasted and lasted and lasted. The man in charge of these things at Universal-International studio clocked the nervous Romeo at 34 seconds. That's four seconds longer than the censors allow. "Maybe Audie was too scared to let go," a studio spokesman grinned. "We'll probably have to cut those four seconds out." Victory for Murphy It was, old-timers report, the longest smooch in the history of horse operas. And a victory for good nature is a tonic for his many friends. , One marvels at the beauties of the Applegate valley. A trip there the other day was an eye-opener. Scores of farms all so well kept. Most of the homes are painted white. From outward appearances this must be a prosperous valley and ap parently each family takes pride in the up-keep of its dwellings. Dozens of trout fishermen were seen trying their luck from the banks of the Applegate river. Dorothy Anderson, daughter of Chaplain and Mrs. Henry An derson, is home for the summer vacation. Dorothy is a music ma jor at Stephens college, Colum bia, Mo., and is studying voice, radio and television. She is on the staff of KWWC, the college radio station, and does script writing and production work as part of her student program. This talented young lady has a membership in Sigma Gamma Gamma, honorary music soror ity, and also belongs to the col lege chapter of the American Guild of organists. She sang in the chorus of "Carmen" and was the soloist is the operetta "Pir ates of Penzance." As a mem ber of the college "Blue Moods" trio she appeared on "Hormel's" Showcase as a guest of the Hormel "Music With The Girls" radio feature over the American Broadcasting system. Also is a member of the Burrall choir at Stephens . She will return to Stephens in September. For 57 years a locomotive bell was rung at crossroads and through towns of the Southern Pacific system. Sunday it will ring its call to chapel at Camp White and proper dedication ser vices will be held in its honor. Several months ago R. H. "Bob" Holmes, district freight and passenger agent, had prom ised Chaplain Henry Anderson a bell. A short time ago it ar rived and with the bell Mr. An- derson received the following : letter: j "I have developed throuRh our j management that the bell was removed from locomotive 2930. j manufactured by Schenectady j Locomotive builders, in Novem-! ber 1892. This locomotive has ' been In continuous service at i various points on our Southern j Pacific system lines until it was dismantled on Oct. 31, 1949. En-1 Rine was in service on Portland division until the time of its dis-, mantling. We hope the bell will j fill a useful purpose at your domiciliary." Under the direction of Burton Sims, chief engineer, the chapel bell Is now housed in specially constructed bell tower and will ring out for the first time Sun day, June 25. MmPHERSON Corraipoeidaiif Murphy all the way around. "They weren't gonna let me kiss her in 'Kansas Raiders'," he explained, wiping the lip stick off his face. "But I play a cowboy and I figured any horse opera hero who doesn't kiss the gal is just plain sucker. "And they were sure makin' a sucker out of me. So I did something about it." He took his fight to the top studio brass. Studio Takes Chance "A little honest sex never hurt a man in the wide open j spaces," he said. "Just because j cowboys are supposed to con- i trol themselves and never touch J a woman doesn't prove they're : rugged." The studio decided to take a I chance. And so It was that Mur-', phy talked his way into a hun dred feet of sizzling smackeroo with the gorgeous Miss Chap man. And when he got there he started to shake. "I was hot for the idea," he admitted. "But when I got into it I was scared." He recovered in record time. He discovered this kissing is great stuff. "Lovely Hps," he kept saying. "And what poise. What polsel" HARD MONEY SAFER Lynchburg, Va. (U.R) A Lynchburg grocer who worries about fires has found a wav to protect his money. Three men i lugged a steamer trunk into a j bank here, crammed to the top ' with small change. Cashiers counted out $1,500 worth.
