Talent High School Gives Spring Play Talent Talent High school presented its spring play, "Grow ing Pains," a comedy of adoles cence, Friday evening. A large crowd attended. The play, written by Aurania Rouverol, was directed by Ruby Messenger and Benjamin Bene dict at Talent. The curtain opened on the residence of Professor Mclntyre (Willis Zumwalt), his wife (Carol Zediker), his son George (Earl Tycksen), and his daughter Terry (Doreen Burnette). George and Terry Mclntyre, typical adolescents, almost drove their parents to distraction in a series of events fertile with youthful emotion. George bought an old car, almost crashed it, knocked down a policeman, and was jailed for half an hour. Terry, a tomboy, was spurned by the boys, whereupon she sought popularity by temporari ly assuming an artificial lady like sophistication she did not feel. The play contains not only a lively, sparkling plot but de picts vividly the difficulties both parents and children undergo during the teen-age years. Airs. Bryant Hostess For Meeting of Class Gleaners' class of First Bap tist church met at the home of Mrs. Minnie Bryant last week. Mrs. Amy Randall, president, conducted the meeting.

(U.R) As in other cities, the 10-cent glass of beer here may fall a victim of rising costs and dropoff in tavern business.

Episcopal Diocese Adopts Big Budget Portland (U.R) A $93,748 budget for 1952 was adopted Monday by delegates to the 64th annual convention of the Epis copal diocese of Oregon. The total was $5,349 higher than last year with $67,538 of the budget to go for missionary work and $26,165 for diocese administration. St. Peter's church of Albany, one of the oldest congregations west of the Cascade mountains, was raised from missionary to parish status. The Rev. E. James Kingsley, the vicar of St. Peter's mission will become rector of the parish. The following organized mis sions were adopted by the con vention: St. James,' Delake; St. Thomas, Dallas; Ascension, Rid dle; St. Timothy's, Brookings; St. Matthew's, Gold Beach; St. Paul's, Powers, and an as yet unnamed congregation at Prospect. On The Side by e. v. ourimg (Distributed by King Features Syndicate, Inc.)

More love or more disdain I crave. Webbe. What do you mean, there are no women inventors'(frVhy Hedy Lamarr is an inventor. So far Hedy hasn't had a successful in vention but she is still trying. During the war she originated a mechanism for guiding tor pedoes. It was seriously consid ered by the government authori ties but was not completely prac tical. In any event, it had merit. Many women have a talent for invention but just don't make use of it. The way to invent something is to take note of some task you find difficult to accomplish. Then try to invent something to make it easier. Pass this hint on to your wife, mister. She may invent a housekeeping labor-saving device, make a for tune and then have you give up working and keep you for a pet. In a Few Words It was Will Rogers who said: "Our country has plenty of good five-cent cigars, but the trouble is they charge 15 cents for them." Helen Rowland observed: "A husband is what is left of the lover after the nerve is extract ed." Asking QUERIES FROM CLIENTS: Q. What are the chances of hav ing twins for the first blessed event? A. About one in eighty six except in the case of a father of Irish birth or descent. Then it is one in sixty-nine. By the way, young fellow, if you be come the father of twins, don't let your wife dress them alike. That idea is out of date. It stifles individuality. Dialogue There is too much dialogue and too little action in too many films nowadays. I am heartily in accord with the British film critic, Reg Whiteley, who, in re ferring to the film version of "A Streetcar Named Desire," said: "This squalid sex melodra ma, set in the slums of New Or leans, fails to fulfil the first function of a moving picture to move. Action Is swamped by dialogue. This may be an asset on the stage but it is a handicap on the screen." Asides Gasoline is 84 cents a gallon in France. No wonder the Frenchmen go for those tiny cars that can get forty miles or over on a gallon of gas. . . . Chicago is the fourth largest city in the world. That's what I stated. Eight young women of California want to wager nylons against stogies I am wrong. They say Chicago is seventh. I still say fourth. ... If the British go wild about those football pools, you can hardly blame them. Recently a Sheffield (England) woman who put up the equivalent of 12 cents for a football pool coupon won $210,000, tax free. So They Say To be kept in a pleasant frame of mind, Leo (July 23-August 23) women must be continually petted, pampered and praised. When angry they sulk. If their husbands ask, "What's the mat ter?" they say, "Oh, nothing!" and sulk some more. Virgo (Au gust 24-September, 22) women are very cautious. Very slow to respond to affection. They have to be swept off their feet by a man of strong character who is not used to taking "no" for an answer. Or so say the stargozers. Please Note Greer Garson has a pair of very symmetrical limbs. How ever, she appeared in many films before the public was aware of this. Then Greer insisted she have a part offering an oppor tunity to display her good-looking legs. I believe that film was "Random Harvest." Anyway, let us consider the case of Greta Garbo, How about the symmetry of her underpinnings? Has she ever played a part calling for displaying the same? If she has, I missed it. When Miss Garbo was a neighbor of mine at Santa Monica, Calif., I often saw her walking on the beach. But never wearing a bathing suit. This item is inspired by hearing that Garbo recently dropped into an antique shop on West 57th Street, Manhattan. "Good morn ing, Miss Dietrich," said the pro prietor. Garbo is then reported to have said: "How could you make such a mistake? You didn't look at my legs." Sidelights Note it stated the first birth control clinic was established in Tuesday. April 22, 1952 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE FIVE Reese Creek Reese Creek James Arne mann, chief machinist mate USN, spent a few day's leave here with his wife and family and has returned to U.S. Naval hospital at Oakland, Calif., where he is recuperating from surgery James Miner was taken back to the hospital April f8 for more medical attention.

CfiiMORE OEIICIOUS MACARONl Manhattan in 1922. That's wrong. Margaret Sanger established the first clinic of that type in Brook lyn in 1916. ... In "I Like Ike" Eisenhower has his campaign song. How about a song for General Douglas MacArthur? . . . Was recently claimed by a Holly woodian that Hoot Gibson and Art Acord have been the only real cowboys to star in western films. Buck Jones was a real cowboy. So was Tim McCoy.
