Willis from Jack Burke Widens Lead St. Petersburg, Fla. (U.PJ Jackie Burke of Houston, Tex., threw a seven-under-par 65 at the boys Saturday and left them to scramble for second money as he took over the lead in the St. Petersburg Open Goif tour nament by six strokes. Burke's 200 total at the end of 54 holes made him a virtual shoo-in for the title here. It would be his fourth tournament victory in a row, the hottest streak on many a winter golf tour. The Texas tornado took over the lead which he relinquished in the second round to Dr. Cary Middlecoff, the Memphis dentist. Middlecoff sliced his drives, banged behind palm trees and otherwise found all types of trouble to blow his two-stroke advantage. He barely managed to bring in a 73, good for a sec ond place tie at 206 with Al Besselink of Chicago. ran DEMONSTRATION SU M ACTION THI SCNSATIONAL mw I You Won't Believe It vJ Unfit You See Itl V MERRYTILLER males -XtL; touqh jobs easy!

Phone 2-9441 Easy Parking Bill Smith from Wenatchee, Wash-, states that he is prepar ing to enter college to stuay ar chitecture under the GI Bill of Rights. Smith is a World War U veteran and is 100 per cent disabled under a service con nected case. While here at Camp Whita ht kept busy in the hobby shop at copper craft. He was an expert in this line. Walter Helium has been assist ing Georga Parker at his ice cream stand during the evening hours. He gets a lot of fun out of Walter In his problems of fi nance. It seems that the dollars he gets must have wings, for they disappear like ships la the niffht. But Helium stavs in there pitching and the week is lost if he can t finance at least one trip to town. A lot of fellows will miss Ernie Collier when he leaves early in April. As chaplain of the Camt White VFW nost and commander of the station DAV chapter Collier was a busy man. In addition to these duties he called dally on the men confined to the infirmary and was ever mindful of their needs. Collier is a World War I veteran and is the most popular member in the domiciliary. Ross Lewis, who was on the staff of Dominews while here, has taken a discharge and is now in Los Angeles completing a novel which he started here. Lewis is a navy veteran of World War I and a native Ore- gonian. He was born on a farm near Corvallis. As a newspaper reporter of years in experience Lewis did a good job of cover ing a beat for Dominews. Frank Rinehart, secretary to chaplains Anderson and Cumis- ky, has returned from a leave of absence which he spent at Se attle. Frank made the trip there to be with his oldest son who is in the army and is shipping out for Korea. Rinehart has been with the chaplaincy service for more than a year now. His ex perience as a school teacher for more than 25 years qualifies him well for the work he is doing. Harold "Skip" Farrell, mes senger in the afternoons from the admissions office, has taken a 15 day leave and is enjoying a visit with his family in Port land. During his absence "Skip's" job will be ably han dled by Medford's own Casey Jones. As the plaintive notes of Taps ecnoed throughout the valley from the hills of Camp White cemetery, the earthly remains of Albert Paull were lowered to their last resting place.

Table Rock Bill Bishop and moth, Mrs. v Lynn Bishop, , mo tored to Los Angeles last week and are visiting relatives for a few days in that city. A home was finally located for each of the young dogs found locked up in an unused milk house on a' local ranch but not until they had eaten 50 pounds of dog feed and 15 gallons of milk, - according to Mrs. Abe HalfhllL At the last meeting of Sams Valley Grange it was brought out that Sams Valley farmers still have hopes of getting ir rigation water, a plan now be ing shaped up to try getting water from another source and to be paid for by the land owners. The Ralph Goodlin family of Fresno, Cel., have returned home after spending several days vis iting relatives at the home of his brother, M. H. Goodlin, lo cal farmer. . Someone left two nice fat coonf on our front lawn Wednes day morning. Probably someone from Arkansas or Oklahoma, where they say coons are con sidered a real delicacy. The dead animals were a rather pitiful sight but we couldn't have any sympathy for them as some of their kind cleaned up on our poultry last summer. Earl Peffley, Sams Valley farmer and seed grower, was a business visitor here Th"-sday. Donald Richardson the Greene, Richardson and Greene law firm of Portland arrived here Thursday to take part in an injunction hearing in circuit court. He is visiting at the home of his parents, 'Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Richardson, between court ses sions. The 12 swans which disap peared for a few days have re turned and are now very much in evidence on the green pastures of the Table Top ranch. The Moore Hamilton family of Medford visited relatives here Sunday. . A note in these items some time ago caused a friend of ours to lose a wager with her hus band, she betting him that we only made the trips a few times a year for the salary we men tioned. When they asked us to settle it we told them we made three trips a week for the $82 a year. Our lady friend was thinking' or todays prices when the money we received would not buy feed for the horse, much less any beefsteak for the riderj Miss Lois Vanderpool, a Ta ble Rock girl and student of Crater .high, came out second in the American Legion county oratorical contest held Wednes day night, March 5. Miss Van derpool was barely nosed out by Richard Dickenson of the Medford high school, a boy with much experience in this line of school activity. The Roland Shope family re turned Friday from a several weeks' vacation in the south, most of the time visiting rela tives in Okonolo, Ark. Mrs. Shope says that people there live much better than here and seem to worry very little about taxes and finances. Their smoke houses are filled with bacon and hams, there are peanuts, pop corn, yams and old fashioned cane sorghum processed on the farms. We can vouch for the de licious goodness of the sorghum for Mrs. Shope was kind enough to bring a sample which remind ed us of past days, when the barrel of farm-made syrup was a great help in rearing many of the large families. Lloyd Vanderpool, an em ployee of the Modoc Orchard for the past seven years, is now working for a logging concern near Roseburg. Mrs. Vanderpool and daughter, Lois, will remain here until the close of school providing they can lease a house. Clyde Halfhill is spending a few weeks with home folks here, arriving last week from the war zone in the far east At the last meeting of the Ta ble Rock Community club the men did themselves proud with an excellent program, highlights of which were a blackface farce by John Morris and Bert Pierce, musical selections by Mr. How ell and a talk on Oregon history by Dr. Roy McNeal of Southern Oregon College of Education, which was intensely interesting, especially to those who are Ore- gonians by birth or by long time residence. f Five Men Escape Injury In Alberta Plane Crash Edmonton, Alta.

Mechanical 'Heart' Keeps Man Alive More Than Hour Philadelphia (U.R) A man was kept alive with a mechan ical heart for one hour and 20 minutes yesterday in an opera tion which made medical history in America, Pennsylvania hos pital announced today. The man. 41-year-old Peter Durning of Bethlehem, Pa., died two hours after the mechanical heart was disconnected, but only because of a heart condition that could not be corrected by surgery.. Satisfied With Results A team of surgeons from Penn sylvania hospital and two other hospitals were reported satis fied with the results of their first successful use of -the ma chine on - a human being in America. They believe it will be used in the future to carry hu man beings through heart sur gery and back to normal life. In the historic operation, the machine, an improved version of the pump developed in 1932 by Dr. Michael De Bakey, took over the duties of the right side of Durning's heart, where sur geons suspected a clot or tumor was obstructing the flow of blood. " Own Heart Operates During the operation, Durn ing's heart functioned partially as the surgeons sought to free blood from the right side of his heart and permit them to probe for the suspected obstruction: After the operation had been under way for three minutes ,the surgeons noted that a non correctable lesion was filling the right side of the heart with blood, causing a defective valve action. For the next 80 minutes,' the surgeons permitted the mechan ical heart to bypass only part of the blood at a rate of three liters a minute from the original rate of five liters a minute, which is the normal rate of the human heart. Non-Correctable The chief surgeon then probed for an obstruction, which if present, would have been re moved. But he found only the non-correctable lesion. Durning, who along with his family granted permission for the unprecedented operation, lived for two hours after the machine was disconnected. He died when his own diseased heart failed.
