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:

1946 at Warwick and then served

Adams as councilmen to fill the
unexpired term of Cecil Norris.
who resigned at the last council
meeting. The position is up for
election November 4.
Mayor Claflin pointed out that
filing for positions up for elec
tion could be not more than 90
days nor less than 30 prior to
the general election. This would
place the dates from August 4
to October 4.
Three council positions will be

Will Not Run
Two of the officers, Mayor
Claflin and Harry Reames, city
treasurer, have definitely stated
they will not run again..

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.

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.
