The long awaited movie, starring Jenni fer Jones and Aline Mosby Laurence Olivier, la from Dreiser's famous novel "Sister Carrie." ' The great novelist died, nearly broke and unhappy over Holly wood's treatment of his books, in 1945. Ever since his wife, Helen, has kept his home exactly as he left it, right to his fedora on the hat tree. But her sister revealed that Mrs. Dreiser finally has consent ed to move from the "ghost house" and destroy the shrine to her late husband.

Tripp of Albany, Ore., told the Medford Rotary club here Tuesday. In a luncheon address at the Jackson hotel, Tripp told of his exper iences and observations during his year of study in New Zea land on a Rotary Foundation fellowship. In drawing a comparison be tween this state and the distant dominion, the speaker pointed out that immigrants came to both areas about the same time, by sailing ships to New Zealand and covered wagons to Oregon. In size of land area, population, weather and latitude the resem blance is surprisingly close. Area Described New Zealand Is today the world's largest butter exporter; has a standard" of living second only to the U.S. and Canada. Due to high tariffs, trade be tween this country and her near est neighbor, Australia, Is prac tically non-existent. New Zea land's economy today is sound with Industries established to make the nation virtually self sustaining. Strides have been made in electrification and in the pioneering of grass seeds. Under the Rotary Foundation, from 80 to 90 college students are given the opportunity each year to study in foreign coun tries as a practical means of stimulating international under standing and world peace. To day the Foundation's fund ex ceeds $2,000,000 devoted to this and similar programs for en couraging world-wide fellow ship. Last week the Rotary club members were guests of George Flanagan in a Tuesday buffet luncheon at the Elk Lumber company's mill, followed by a tour of the plant.

Death Mask in Place A cast of his hand, taken aft er he died, lies life-like on the desk. A death mask of the nov elist hangs in the living room. "His clothes hung in the clos et for a year after he died," Mrs. Butcher said. "She kept h 1 s night light burning for a year. He died right here in their bed room. She always felt, he was still here." Now Dreiser books are in vogue again, and movies of them have found world - wide fame. Outside his Italian-style white home is a "for sale" sign.

Season's High-Water Peak Believed Passed Portland (U.R) River fore casters said Wednesday they be lieved the season's high-water peak of the Willamette and Co lumbia rivers at Portland had been passed. Elmer Fisher, river forecaster, said the flood peak of 20.2 feet here reached May 24 probably would stand as the year's high. The Willamette dropped to 18 feet at Portland Tuesday, which is even flood stage. Fisher said the river would rise slightly Sat urday and Sunday, but he saw no possibility of another impor tant rise this year. The highest stage in recent years was 29.95 feet on June 4, 1948, Just after the disastrous Vanport flood. Extra Cost! 'TSSrr More TRAVEL EXTRAS -No Yes, Greyhound widens its lend in value!
