mom Gil Turner, Kid Gavilan Mix Tonight Philadelphia U.R) Reas sured by the forecast of fair, warm weather for Monday night, promoter Herman Taylor ex pected 50,000 fans and more than $330,000 for his "dream title fight" between Welter weight Champion Kid Gavilan and challenger Gil Turner at Municipal stadium. For Taylor, it was a dream fight because it matched unbeat en young "Turner of Philadel phia, hottest -local attraction m 25 yeafs, with the world champ ion from Cuba. Long Victory String Gavilan, 26, was favored at 8va to 5 to tag the 21 - year- old Philadelphia Negro with his first defeat. Turner has a string of 31 straight victories, includ ing 2d knockouts. Gavilan was favored because of his greater experience in 98 pro fights with a style that was natural to him but that was copied by Turner. Gil uses his rapid-fire attack, his fancy footwork and even his long bolo upper-cuts. Turner sets a blistering pace, but never tried the 15-round route before. He could burn him self out against the rugged Hav ana "Hawk" who went the dis tance four times.

That accounts for the names of Oregon's famous head lands, the promontories and capes that poke right out into the sea. There's a legend with every one. Take Cape Perpetua, a rocky promontory eight miles south of the mouth of the Ya chats river where hordes of sal mon ascend to spawning grounds. - Our white AAA car turned off the coast highway U. S. 101 at a stone, marking point ing tne way, loiiowing a gravel forest road two miles up to the top of the cape. From the bluff one of the most thrilling ex panses of the coastline anv- where is seen, stretching many miles north and south and look ing straight down at breakers rattling like distant artillery against rocKs suu feet below. Story has it, a famed English explorer, japt. James Cook, dis covered this cape and save it its name for "bad weather seemed to hold him perpetually in its signt." Better known is Cape Blan co. To- newspaper readers, waicning tne weather, its a place where the storm warnings are hoisted for ships out at sea. Twenty-one miles south of Ban don, the city destroyed by a fire, turn off the highway by the Sixes river. The Sixes, they say, got its name from Chinook jar gon meaning "friend." Blanco is at the end of a six mile drive, a good gravel road straight to the sea. Its ancient lighthouse seemingly hasn't changed in looks since it was fashioned of home-made bricks in 1870. For years the rocks on the cape were a dull white. They gleam under bright sun. The name "Blanco" is from the Spanish, meaning white. too fapanish navigators, sail ing northward, got lost and sep arated in a storm. One reached a promotory just south of Gold Beach, left it with the captain's name Cape Sebastian. The oth er put in at Blanco. To Oregon, its coast is "400 J miles, of air-conditioned high way."

(U.R) Ronnie Augustyn, 3 -year-old Sargent, Neb., lad was in pain in Chil dren's Memorial Hospital here. In spite of the severe burns re ceived when he vainly tried to save his puppies from a burning corn' crib, Ronnie was wearing a big smile. Representatives of the Omaha police department paid him a call and gave him an Omaha junior fireman's badge. Said Fire Commissioner Wil liam D. Noyes: "You are such a brave boy that we want you in our fire department. Here's a badge just like all firemen wear." The firemen wanted to replace the lost puppies but neighbors had already taken care of that.

Dr. T. S. Danowski, senior staff physician of Children's hos pital here, disclosed that a clin ical model of . the improved "kidney" which fits in a cabi net about the size of a small floor model radio has perform ed outstandingly over a period of . several months. A similar model also -is in use at Peter Bent Brigham hospital in Bos ton, Mass. : Cellophane Tubing Used The plastic "kidney" which takes over when normal kidney functioning fails or is inade quate has as its key feature a 50 foot strip of cellophane tubing wound in spiral fashion around three hollow-cylinders made of fine mesh wire. The tubing is the-same kind of material used for sausage casing, according to George W. Jernstedt, manager of the Westinghouse special' products engineering department. are immersed in a specially pre pared bath called a 'dialyzate,' and as the impurities are drawn out of the tubing, they pass into the bath and are drained off,'' the engineer said. "The purified blood continues through the tubing and returns to the patient by way of a vein ous . opening in the other arm." Physicians More Familiar Dr. Danowski reported that life-saving applications of the "kidney" continue to grow as physicians become more famil iar with the device. ."We have used the device suc cessfully for combating acute uremic poisoning which takes place when kidney functioning breaks down," he said. "In case of poisoning caused by sulfa drugs, barbituates, or carbon tetrachloride we believe the 'kidney can take over the job of the overworked human organ. "It may also prove useful aft er certain abdominal operations, when kidney blockage results. WANTED. SURE ENOUGH . Fort Worth, Tex. (U.R) Oificfer H. O.
