OH, THERE'S a heart for every
one.
If every one could find It;
Then up and seek, ere youth Is
sone,
Whate'er the trouble, ne'er
mind it.
For If you chance to meet at
last
With that one heart.
Intended,
To be a blessing unsurpassed
Till life Itself Is ended.

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.
