Intended, To be a blessing unsurpassed Till life Itself Is ended. Swain A furniture dealer questions my claim that Thomas Sheraton, the eighteenth century British furniture designer, originated twin beds. I am sticking by my claim with the usual stogies rid ing on the same. Sheraton's twin bed idea, however, has not been exactly followed. Full advantage of the old boy's designing genius has not ben taken. Sheraton's twin beds could be drawn to gether at any time and made into a double bed. Some furni ture company should put out ome real Sheraton twin beds. at could improve on the idea by having mechanism providing for the beds to be drawn together or separated by pushing a but ton. Asking Queries from clients. Q. Has there ever been a Yale Universi ty graduate who became a major league baseball player? A. Not many sons of old Eli have taken up baseball as a profession. But in the nineties there was a Yale man on the Nev York Giants named "Tots" Murphy. Offhand I can't think of any other major leaguer from Yale. Q. Do you remember a vaudeville act called the Pianophiends? Wasn't Jesse Lasky the producer of it? A. I remember the act. Was made up of six pianists. Don't think Lasky had anything to do with it. However, Jesse was a producer of vaudeville acts. One was called Jesse Lasky's redheads. Thai Medley Am still hard at work trying to assemble a really worth-while medley of father songs for Father's JJay. Some subscribers wishing to be helpful have sug gested "Daddy Has a Sweetheart and Mother Is Her Name" and "I Want a Girl Just Like the Girl Who Married Dear Old Dad." I claim both those ditties are really Mother's Day songs. Among the Married As you know, the "Lucy Stoners" believe in a married woman's retaining her maiden name to prevent the stifling of her individuality. Until recently I never gave this idea much thought. Now I believe it may be justified. For example, on a society page you see a photo graph of a group of women with their names listed as mesdames George Stevens, Frank Jones, Oscar Wombat and Gerald Small. Then again you see mar ried couples referred to as "the Frank Browns," "the James Mortons," etc. That certainly is stifling a wife's individuality. I believe women should keep their maiden names. There's no law against it. Or they should take up some kind of career and have a glamorous professional name. The least they can do is instead of being constantly referred to Attends Community Chest Convention Harold Cook, an officer of the Greater Medford Community Chest, attended the convention of Community Chest officers from throughout the state held in Salem earlier this week, he reported today. Tony Manno, another officer of the local organization, was elected third vice-president and director of the State Chest, though not present at the meet ing, Cook said. Jes Gard, Port land, was elected state president. Cook said that there was con siderable discussion of the so- called United Fund Appeals, now being organized throughout the nation, including Portland. He added that the Medford Plan has created considerable interest among fund-raising agencies, and many of those attending the convention questioned him about the unique organization. as Mrs. George Smith or Mrs. Adolph Doakes to insist on the use of their christian name as Annabelle Smith or Stephanie Doakes. Asides My progress continues to amaze me. Now I have a reader in Prairie du Chien, Wis. How would you pronounce that? . . . Many jockeys wear St. Christo pher medals. St. Christopher is the patron saint of travelers. The jockeys should wear Santi ago medals. Santiago is the pa tron saint of horsemen. Waiters Waiters at the leading mid town Manhattan places do very well financially. Many earn as much as $200 a week. Still they are not as well off as the New York waiters of thirty or more years ago. The waiters at Rec tor's, in that establishment's hey day, were paid $25 a month. They took in from $200 to $300 a week in tips with no income tax to pay. Most of them retired rich men. They usually bought apartment houses. In those days Manhattan real estate returned 20 per cent on the investment. The waiters at Rector's were un usual fellows. All were gradu ates of European colleges for waiters. Most of them spoke six or seven languages. Passing By Frank Leahy. Amiable and capable Notre Dame football coach. Frank is the top papa of the sports world. He is the father of eight children ranging in age from 2 months to 16 years. In addition to being a highly pro lific papa, Mr. Leahy is an ac complished one. In his first year of marriage he took a course for expectant fathers and has been a conscientious student of infant care ever since. Individual's Task In Politics Told To Medford Lions Although politics have no Dlace in a service club, the in dividual members of any service organization should be vitally interested in politics in order to see that the most qualified and best available men arc placed in positions of responsibility in our local, state, and national govern ments, it was stated by Lou Har din, Grants Pass, international counselor of Lions Internation al, speaking here at the 27th an niversary of the founding of the Medford Lions club. The club was chartered on April 26, 1025 He traced the history of the local club and cited the efforts that went into the promotion of Roxy Anne park, the local soup kitchen during the depression days, Hawthorne park, the spon sorship of Troop 3 of Boy Scouts aid in boys and girls work in the community, and sight conserva tion activities, as evidence of the club's justification as a service organization. Tell of Broom Sale Members of the broom sale committee, sparked by Hil Mey crle, chairman, emphasized the functions of his committee by conducting a broom sale within the club and explained the du ties of the crews that will work on the sale Saturday, April 26. He was aided by Bob Dames, Gordon Mackenzie, Alva Perkins and Oscar Gage. They stated they have 64 doz en brooms to be sold, including household brooms, whisk brooms and toy brooms, and that profits would be shared with Sam Ev ans, Jacksonville Blind Broom salesman, and the sight conser vation fund of the club for use in blind and sight preservation work in Jackson county. Paul Bulkin was a guest at the meeting and Lion Larry Shechan was a visitor from Rogue River. Nine-Year Research i Program Started On Fish Migration Portland (U.R) The Corps of Engineers announced Thurs day it has undertaken a nine year program of research to dis cover the most effective means of passing migratory fish both up and downstream over high dams. Col. E. C. Itschner, North Pa cific division engineer, said the program also would establish efficient, economical methods of operating fish facilities at pres ent and future dams in the Co lumbia river basin. Cooperative Program Itschner said the program would be conducted in cooper ation with the Oregon Fish and Game commissions, the Wash ington state Fisheries Depart ment, Washington State Game Department, the Idaho Depart ment of Fish and Game and the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service. He said fish facilities at Corps of Engineers' projects had be come increasingly expensive, rising from a cost of about $7, 500.000 at Bonneville dam to $20,000,000 at McNary and an estimated $30,000,000 for those under consideration for The Dalles dam. "Fish facilities could be built more economically and operated with considerable savings to the government if more definite in formation regarding their limita tions and requirements were known," Itschner said. Troop Safety Lesson Seen in A-Bomb Test Portland (U.R) Lt. Gen. Jo seph M. Swing, 6th Army com manding general, said Thursday one of the beneficial effects for the army from the Nevada atom ic tests has been "to teach sol diers that they may save them selves if they follow procedures when under attack." Gen. Swing arrived here to address a Portland Chamber of Commerce luncheon' after view ing Tuesday's military maneuv ers in connection with the latest atomic bomb explosion at Yucca Flat, Nev. Swing said he could foresee a "tremendous potential in close ground support by atomic artil lery" for troops but declined to discuss when such a weapon would be ready for use. ARSON UNINTENTIONAL McCook, Neb. (U.R) McCook police solved a supectcd case of arson when they found a 12-year-old boy who admitted he smoked after school each day, climbing into an automobile parked near the schoolyard to hide. On his last trip, however, he dropped a spark which burned out the in terior of the car. Hastings, Neb. (U.R) A new comer to Hastings reported hit three-year-old son was responsi ble for a one-day delay in the family's moving plans. The boy put his mother's purse In one of the many boxes of household goods. The purse contained all the family's money and it took the remainder of the day to find it. Cinder-Removal Suit Postponed Indefinitely Portland (U.R) The govern ment's injunction suit against removal of cinders from Jand near Madras by a central Ore gon contractor Thursday was postponed indefinitely. Attorneys for the government and Samuel B. Rawson asked for an extension of time in which to prepare their cases. U.S. District Judge Gus J. Solomon granted the indefinite postponement. The government seeks a per manent injunction to prohibit Rawson from taking the cinders from the tract which the govern- ment acquired under the Bank- head-Jones act of 1937. Rawson sold the cinders for road construction material. Washington Court Rules Real Estate Tax Legal Olympia U.R The state Su preme Court Thursday ruled 9-0 that the one per cent tax on real estate sales enacted by the 1951 legislature is constitutional. The proceeds of the tax, levied by each county, plus equaliza tion funds, mean about $13,000,- 000 a year to the state s school system, or about 12 per cent of the $104,000,000 budgeted for this school year.
