SIX MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Tuesday. July 29, 1952 On The Side By e. v. DUrun3 (Distributed by King Features Syndicate, Inc.) Members of the Lucy Stone league believe in a married wo man retaining her maiden name. That taking her husband's name stifles a woman's individuality. There is no law compelling a woman to assume her husband's name. At first I was inclined to believe the Lucy Stone move ment was just another example of much ado about nothing. Now I am beginning to think "they have a point- Take the recent reports of social events. You read something like this: "Pres ent were the Sam Carvers, the Joe Blakes, the Tom Dunns and the Henry Browns." I am strong ly opposed to combining a mar ried couple's names in that man ner. That certainly is stifling a woman's individuality. Make it Sam and Eetty Carver, Joe and Joan Elake. Or even better' for social events, follow a "ladies first" policy such as "the charm ing Betty Carver and her de voted husband Sam." "The svelte and smartly dressed Joan Blake and her genial spouse, Joe." That Ring That ring for widows and di vorcees is shaped like a wedding ring and has a triangular setting of black onyx. Idea of it is to convey the thought that the wearer is in the mood for an other marriage. Note it reported this ring is becoming very pop ular. Maybe so. But I have yet to see a woman wearing one. Over There How are you on picking three horse parlays? As I previously reported at British tracks a tote treble is a feature. Calls for picking the winners of three races. At a recent Ascot meeting a tote treble paid about $12,000 for an investment of the equiv alent of 70 cents. That is 4,307 pounds for five shillings or about 17,000 to one. Literary Note: A recent addition to the nu merable books of advice for fe males on how to conquer males is "How To Be Attractive By. Joan Ber.net." In this monumen tal work, according to a review er of the same, Miss Bennett suggests a young woman to take at least an hour and seven min utes to bathe and dress in the morning. A bit difficult for bus iness girls, I would say. She al so says, "Men like big hats." Not me. I am against big hats. Miss Bennett also advises, ac cording to said review of her lit erary effort, as to what a girl should do "when a man gets fresh." Among Ihe Married Know what a "Rolling Pin Club" is? This is a group of wo men who meet regularly to test their skill at throwing rolling pins. They throw twelve ounce rolling pins at an effigy marked "Husband." Throwing distance is twelve feet. Points are figured according to what part of the "husband" effigy is hit. A hit on the head gives the top num ber of points. There are "Rolling Pin" clubs in Springfield, 111., and New York City. Also one in England which has challenged the U. S. Rolling Pin Tossers to a match. Asides Stalin has thirty doubles. Nowadays when the Russians think they are seeing Stalin in a public appearance it is usually one of his doubles ... In the heyday of his brilliant career as a columnist Oscar Odd Mc Intyre said his mail averaged one hundred letters a day. By states most of it came from Cal ifornia, by cities, Denver was tops. Odd said as long as he had been writing a column he had never received a letter from Idaho. Also that he had letters from every city in the U.S.A. of any importance except Baton Rouge, La. Bedside Manner The term "bedside manner" as applied to physicians is not of modern origin. It was orig inated twenty - four centuries ago by Hippocrates, the "Fa ther of medicine," who wrote: fc5 ORANGE PYj YTS4 BEVERAGE jj i yiiypo WiPp Here$ de,ihtfui trMt 1 New Police Chief Af Phoenix Named By City Council Phoenix E.

Elections for these three posts are held every two years. Will Not Run Two of the officers, Mayor Claflin and Harry Reames, city treasurer, have definitely stated they will not run again.. Reames has been treasurer since 1939 and has been active in city affairs for 30 years. He has served at various times on the budget committee, fire de partment and street department. He is a native of Phoenix and has "A doctor must have a good bed side manner and must be calm and equable even when those around him are agitated and ex cited." Get It Right Note it said that Hetty Green "always lived in a cheap flat in the slums of Manhattan." That's wrong. For a period, Het ty occupied a suite at the Hotel Plaza. She took up her residence there so her daughter might have a chance to meet some wealthy eligible bachelors. "LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT" might be title for this picture as day old fawns, still a bit unsteady on legs, get acquainted in London zoo while mamas are off somewhere eating.

' l' Ji Air Defense Filter Centtrs like this one keep sharp watch on ihe flight of all unidentified aircraft. ew, fast "dial" air raid warning system "Bell and Lights" plan can instantly flash warnings ta an almost unlimited number of places by the simple turn of a dial. V 1. An unidentified aircraft appears somewhere above the West Coast. A Ground Observer picks up his telephone. Instantly, his report is carried over special telephone lines to a Key Point Warning Center. From there the new "Bell and Lights" attack warning system developed by the Bell Laboratories and now available for general use can flash the warning to an almost unlimited number of sta tions. Within minutes, the entire United States could be alerted! This amazing plan represents just one more way in which your telephone system works closely with Civil Defense to keep America strong. 3. Receiving units like this will be able to carry the warn ing to Civil Defense, police, fire and other key stations. In addition, when authorized by Civil Defense, they can be in stalled in defense plants, schools, hospitals and other im portant locations. When a warning is "dialed" at the con trol point, a bell rings and a colored light flashes at the re ceiving unit ... allowing precious minutes to prepare for any emergency that may come. 2. This ingenious master dial is the basic "nerve center" of the "Bell and Lights" warning system. To alert all con nected stations, the control official merely dials, as he would a telephone, one of four colors yellow, blue, red or white which flashes the degree of the alert. Should normal power supplies fail in an emergency, the system will still work drawing on the independent power equipment lo cated at telephone offices. Pacific Telephone Your telephone is one of today's best bargains In these days of continuing high prices, it's reassuring to know that telephone rates have gone up far less than prices on most things you buy. In fact, the cost of a telephone call remains so low that it is an out standing bargain in any budget your home's or your nation's.
