realized Wednesday that he was
lucky to be alive.
Sam Ritter, son of Dr. and
Mrs. Kersey-C Riter, fell into
a bo( of soupy mud late Tues
day near his home. It sucked
him. downward like quicksand.
Hollers for Help
Sam hollered for help. Three
young boys heard him and ran
for help. An unidentified man
came along and tried to pull the
boy out. He finally called the
fire department
Firemen placed a ladder
over the mud and slowly work
ed the boy loose. It took three
husky firemen to do the job.
Young Riter told officers that
he was taking a shortcut across
the gully and stepped on the
dried-looking mud at the edge
of a puddle.
"Everything gave way,'.' he
said, "and the more I tried to
get out, the deeper I got" -
He was stuck for1 more than 30
minutes.

vision of the U.S. government

ZIPPER TOO ZIPPY
Goshen, Ind. (U.R) The city
fire department was called to the
aid of 15-month-old Stephen Bot
schuck because of a stuck jacket

the boy's skin and his parents

Microwave Relay
For 'Phone, TV,
Discussed at Club
Beaming-telephone conversa
tions and . television pictures
from coast-to-coast over the re
cently completed transcontinen
tal microwave radio relay sys
tem was discussed by J. T.
Welsh of the Pacific Telephone
and Telegraph company at the
weekly luncheon meeting of
the Rotary club at the Jackson
hotel yesterday. .
This newest method of trans
mitting' telephone calls uses
extremely- high frequencies
which can be formed into highly
directional beams, the speaker
said. The beams can carry thou
sands of simultaneous telephone
calls or the sight waves of many
television programs.
With a small microwave
transmitter and receiver, Welsh
demonstrated the physical pro
perties of the microwaves.
Metal plates reflected the waves
while a lucite rod and a metal
wave guide caused them to bend.
The microwaves passed without
difficulty through paper and
wood.
Projected for completion in
late 1952 is the Portland-Seattle
microwave system, Welsh said.
Initially this system will be
equipped to handle roughly 100
simultaneous telephone conver
sations; eventually the system
could handle thousands of tele
phone calls or six television
programs in each direction.
Welsh was introduced by Jack
Creager, Rotary program chair
man and manager of the Pacific
Telephone company here.

Do you recall' a song titled
"Just One More Chance"? It
a little vague in my mind. Didn't
Bing Crosby introduce it about
twenty years ago? Anyway,
group appearing recently before
the British Royal Commission of
Marriage and Divorce argued
that a husband should not be di
vorced for "a single act of in
fidelity." That, he should have
one more chance to achieve suc
cess 89 a husband. Nothing was
said about wives having the
same privilege.
Models
Note it stated the idea of using
models and mannequins was
originated by Lady Duff Gordon
forty years ago. That before that
time no living models were used
to display, clothes. I don't go for
that claim. Owen Davis wrote
that play "Nellie the Beautiful
Cloak Model" over forty years
ago.

Queries from clients. Q. I have
a proposal from a New York

thing in your files as to what
kind of husbands they make? A.
Phil Regan, the singer, was once
a New York City detective,
have it straight from his wife
that Phil has always been
wonderful husband. New York
policemen and detectives are
usually great lovers of home life.
They see so much of the other
kind during their working hours
that they can appreciate a home,
They are generally fond of chil
dren. A member of the New York
police force who has less than
four children is a rarity. Of
course, a detective takes special
handling. When a case is not go
ing too well he is a little moody
His thoughts should not be in
terrupted. Anyway, our experts
are in favor of your accepting
this proposal. Don't forget our
special service in helping to
name babies.

Horses and Women
The uniform of the women'
reserve of the French Army is
said to be the smartest in the
world. It is given credit with
having stepped up recruiting by
500 per cent. A uniform that will
inspire discerning, young French'
women to join the Army must
be truly smart. An accessory is
an unusually attractive handbag,
During the course of originating
this uniform the question came
up as to whether the young wom
en should be permitted to have
high heels. An Army official tak
ing part in the discussion said:
"High heels give a woman, no
matter what her height, poise
and self-assurance. At the same
time they give her a far more at
tractive line. So it was decided
the members of the French
Army's Women Reserve would
have shoes with heels measuring
one and a half inches in height,

West Coast Wails
Ruling on Merger
Washington U.R) The Civil
Aeronautics board will rule on
the proposed merger of West
Coast and Empire airlines before
considering the companies' re
quests that they be allowed to
serve the Columbia Basin, Board
Member Joseph Adams said
Wednesday.
The former director of the
Washington State Aeronautics
commission did not indicate
whether the CAB would approve
the merger, but the combination
has been suggested by the board,
Adams said he was alert to
both the "need and economic
feasibility" of extending air
service into Ephrata, Moses Lake
and Wcnatchee, as well as pro
posed routes between the Tri
City area and Seattle.
