TWO MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Monday. Auguii 11. 1S52 Rumanian Dash for Freedom After Olympic Helsinki (U.R) A' pur posely forgotten knapsack and a cry for help on a crowded city street were the keys used by a Rumanian Olympic sharpshoot er to break' through the Iron Curtain in a long-planned dash for freedom. The story of how Panait Cal cai fled Communism, revealed in an interview before he left Helsinki, could at last be told Monday, since he has found re fuge in the Western world. The Rumanian marksman said the Communist government had him tagged as "politically unre liable" before he left for the competition at Oslo and Hel sinki. I Guarded Every Minute "I was guarded every minute of the time by two members of the secret police," Calcai said. "It had a very bad effect on my pisxol shooting to ' see those gentlemen around constantly and to know what they were there for." He made his break, less than two hours before the Rumanian team was scheduled to return to Bucharest. "I purposely left my brown leather knapsack behind at the Otaniemi Camp when we went to the train," he , explained. "When we arrived at the sta tion, I 'discovered' the loss, and SiepABoardl li FOR FAST TRAVEL If l Northbound Malnliners leave crt P 6:00 A.M., 10:45 A.M. i . and 4:40 P.M. m PORTLAND . . 2Y4 hrs. m - - 3 SEATTLE . . . . 3Vi hrs.

Guard Speaks Up "As we drove down Alexand er street in the heart of Hel sinki, I was just about to ask the driver to stop in front of a shop so I could buy one of those Olmypic" suvenir ashtrays when the guard spoke up.

When we As We Live GIRL IN 30'S SHOULD SEARCH .OUT RIGHT MAN When a woman reaches the thirties without having found a husband, she is likely to be bitter and disillusioned.,This makes it hard for her to attract men la ter or to adjust satisfactorily to marriage, should she marry. This young woman has acquired a bitter outlook on men: (Q) "I'm sure there are quite a few women in their 30's who are in the same position as I am. I have decided that all unmarried men over 30 are going to stay unmarried. I. haven't given up hope of find ing one exception. But the ones I have met think they are doing a girl a favor by dating her - and then expect her to show her gratitude by shar ing a hotel room wiih them. I have had it happen so often in the past year that I prefer lo stay home. I am tired of having men tell me what ler riffic lovers they are and how they can help me make up for. all I have missed up lo now.".

But their more mature experience is likely to make them more choosey. In other words, it is harder to snare them than it is when they are younger... -. . As -for sex, many men have learned from experience that un married women in the 30's are sometimes - willing to pay any price for dates. They then try out all women to see if they be long to that class. If you keep your standards high you may lose. some of them but you are likely to win the admiration of others. .

(U.R) Russell Patterson is a salesman who is sold on saleswomen.- Patterson, a sandy haired, en thuiastic fellow, sits in an office in Jersey City and oversees the efforts of 14 women who are on the go constantly in all parts of the country. Among them the women, call ed "detailers," probably know most- of the nation's 80,000 den tists by first name. The detailers do two things in their "selling." They tell the dentist what's happening in the field of research, ' thus taking some of the reading load off his shoulders; they tell him about various products which have proven ' beneficial in various phases of mouth care. Favors Only Women Patterson, as boss of the ethi cal division of Ammident, a Jersey City concern which makes toothpaste and toothpow der, says he'll have nobody but women in such jobs. "Our detailers are picked for appearance, . personality and their interest in the dental pro , , . . ... iession, ne saia. as non-pro- iessionais among professionals, they must be able to delve into complicated research papers and come up with a simple explana tion of what has been accomp lished and why, its relation to tne improvement of dentistry ana ine patient at large."

Each woman is assigned to a certain section of the coun try and visits about 15 dentists a day.;Her salary is a good one and full expenses are paid so in many cases her earnings are clear. The detailer may be mar ried but Patterson prefers they do not have dependents because of the excessive amount' of trav el involved in the job. New Bottle Stopper May Replace Cork ixew York U.R) A rubber champagne bottle stopper that will not leak or break Is ready to challenge the supremacy of the ordinary cork used since the trench started making cham pagne 300 years ago. Champagne makers say thou sanas of dollars are lost each year through cork leakage. It is customary to store bottles hor izontally to keep the cork wet and tight. That helps to reduce leakage but does not stop it completely.

John Gittins, headmaster of one of the country's largest "ap proved schools" (reform schools) at Aycliffe, County Durham, has recorded his observations of the 5,000 boys who have passed un der his care in his book "Ap proved School Boys," published by the British Home. Office. Although most of the boys live in a cultural vacuum, he says: "An encouraging sign is the reaction of the boys to cul tural activities when these are sincerely and competently pre sented. "We have seen an audience of 300 boys sit in rapt attention at concerts consisting largely of violin sonatas, and they Have un animously selected the Bach Chaconne as the piece de resist ance. Liked Shaw Play "They have preferred 'The Playboy of the Western World (Synge) to a play fullof action and fighting . . . they voted 'Man and Superman' (Shaw) the best play they had seen. "In painting we have seen some striking work under skill ed direction." Gittins' book attempts to give the human factors behind the mounting juvenile delinquency statistics. Most . of his conclu sions are depressing. , He says that often the young ster who thinks it clever to be on the shady side of the law is woefully ignorant about every thing outside the narrow world of back alleys and receivers of stolen goods. When George Bernard Shaw died, Gittins reports, none of the boys had ever heard of him, al though they liked his play. Few could name the top three foot ball teams in the country and hardly any .knew the names of more than a couple of players on the England Test team (interna tional all-star cricket). A walk in the country with the boys revealed they "will miss the most obvious features of the countryside, but any con nection with urban life (the passing motor car, the scrap-iron dump) is immediately noticed, while opportunities for delin quency (the overhanging fruit tree) are assessed almost uncon sciously." A "considerable proportion" of the boys, even the younger ones, has had sexual experience. "What is surprising is that it does not, as a topic, arouse much interest . . moral instruction is very difficult when , the boy as frequently happens is plain ly puzzled to know what all the fuss is about. The guilt feeling, so often stressed by writers on sex education, is strangely and, one feels, abnormally absent." But Gittins discards any no tion of a direct connection be tween movie-going and crime. While the boys generally lack any concern for moral and so- Marysville, Mich.

Aycliffe School was opened in 1942 as a "classifying school." Since then about 5,000 boys aged between 8 and 17 years have passed through it. The peak-age is 14. The boys are kept at the school for four to six weeks for observation. The staff attempt to select a suitable approved school for each boy where he can. spe cialize in some sort of training. Although a fair number come from homes described as "appar ently normal," Gittins states that their intelligence is below average as a group. 117 S.
