Punkie is a robin who has lived in captivity for 18 years. Actually Punkie lives as an honor guest rather than as a captive. His story goes back to 1935, when, after a storm, two boys found a young robin that had been blown from its nest and suffered a broken wing. The boys, Mark and Wells Adams, took the robin to their grandmother, Mrs. Wells W. Mil ler. She doctored it, kept it for the boys while they were off to camp. Returning, the youngsters lost interest in the robin, but not Mrs. Miller. It thrived under her care, acquired the name Punkie and decided it had found a happy home. Said white-haired Mrs. Miller: "For 18 years that bird has never been outside the house. Sometimes I think Punkie ac tually has forgotten he is a bird and believes he is a person." Punkie, old for a bird, usually sits and nods. When he starts to move he seems to have trouble getting his bearings and will circle before lining himself up 50 holds any Joan Marie Sweater Slipons . . . $4.95 Cardigans . . . $6.95 "The Best Is Not Expensive" 34 N.

ELIZABETH HURLOCK IT'S FOLLY TO GO IN DEBT OVER ENGAGEMENT RING In these days of sky-high prices getting married is a seri ous financial problem for many young men. Buying the engage ment ring is only the first big ex pense, as the young man who wrote the following letter is be ginning to realize. He says: (Q) "I have just proposed to a girl and the has accepted me. Now she wants to an nounce our engagement but won't do so until she has her ring. We want shopping to gather for the ring last week and I was floored by the prices. Naturally she wants a big diamond and I would like to give her one but I don't see where the money is com ing from. The salesman told us we could buy it on time but I am afraid to do this because there will be so many other expenses connected with get ting married. What is youx ad vice about this matter?" (A) Be careful not to get head over heels in debt before your wedding day. You will have plenty of ex penses after you are mar r i e d without starting mar ried life with a backlog of debts staring you in the face. Most girls Dx. Huxlock want large dia monds in their engagement rings, not only for the admiration and envy of their friends but also because they in terpret such rings as a measure of the young man's love for them. In reality any ring, with or without a diamond, should be an adequate token of your love for the woman you plan to marrv. It certainly is not wise to put yourself into debt to buy the ring oi ner areams. In fairness to your fiancee you should lay your cards on the table and tell her right now what your financial status is. To gether make a tentative budget of the expenses you will have to meet in connection with the wed ding, the honeymoon, and set ting up housekeeping. Then tell her exactly how much money you have on hand and what your earnings are. Buy a ring to fit your pocketbook. If this will not satisfy her, break the engagement as she is the type of woman who will want more in life than you can afford tc give her. If you have a problem about family or friend, ask Dr. Hur- lock to help you. Write in care of this newspaper. (Copyright 1153. General Features Corp.) When poultry is in trouble from diseases or parasites it's best to call in an experienced ReCord Audience Attends Opening Night of "Shrew" The largest" audience ever to of a Shakespearean festival play saw "Taming of the Shrew," last night in Ashland, and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. Angus Bowmer's opening scene as Christopher Sly brought applause, and throughout the evening the audience constantly in terrupted the players to signify their approval. This boisterous comedy is popular with playgoers every where, and the- fast-paced pro duction brought to Oregon Shakespearean festival fans this year by Director Philip Hanson in every way does justice to this old favorite. Two newcomers to the festival company, Patricia Saunders or Portland and Howard Miller of Lock Haven, Pa., give sparkling performances in the famous roles of the seemingly shrewd- ish Katharma and the virile Pe- truchio who "tames" her. Miss Saunders, it is said, was the only player unanimously agreed upon for any one role when the difficult task of cast ing was undertaken after try outs. All four directors said as one "Saunders must play Kate" and her performance lived up to their expectations. She did a truly skillful piece of work not only as the waspish girl of the early scenes, but as the deeply charming young woman of the later scenes, and was truly "beautiful Kate" as Petruchio calls her. Miss Saunders, it might be added, arrived for tryouts as a -blonde and dyed her hair red for the role. In young Miller the festival directors have a most promising young actor whom we hope re turns for other seasons. This young man has a handsome, graceful stage presence and a truly tremendous voice. If the audience had been seated across the street in the next block we venture to say his lines would still have been heard distinctly, yet the voice is not harsh and his diction is excellent. One would have to look for to find an actor to play the swashbuck ling Petruchio so well. Angus Bowmer, of course, is practically perfect as the bleary eyed Christopher Sly who is almost persuaded that he is a lord. Bowmer has played the role before, and we hope he does again in coming festival seasons. Last night he was aided in set ting the tone of the comedy by Richard Graham, who played the suave and debonair lord who plots against Sly. At this point your reviewer knows not whom to praise next, for praise is due almost every person on the stage last night. The comedy work of Richard Weber as Grumio and George Pcppard as Biondello, even in a play where so many lines bring laughs, was outstanding. We marveled at Peppard, who doesn't "seem the type" and yet who delighted the audience with the delivery of his lines and his ridiculous mannerisms. ' Weber deserves double praise for he gave a bright and pleasing per formance as the servant of Pe truchio while suffering severe pain from an injured leg which almost incapacitated him. Richard Risso, substituting in the role of Bartholomew, a page who masquerades as a woman, proved that he also has a knack for comedy. Garbed in an Elizabethan dress with hoop skirts, young Risso 'seemed to enjoy this bit of horse-play as much as did the audience. Whatever the role, one can depend upon Paul Kliss and Bill Ball to bring something new and fresh in the way of interpreta tion. In "Shrew" Kliss has elect ed to play Tranio much as one might expect a ballet dancer to present the role, and the results are most interesting. Young Ball, who fills in as a page for this play, has one scene as a tailor and again demonstrates his skill as a makeup artist as weu as an actor.

Gremio. The first two, hand some and dashing in their rich costumes, must have set the hearts of the femnine teen-agers to fluttering. Hines, who gave an outstanding performance in "Coriolanus" on opening night, again was excellent. His rich, velvety voice when set to chuckling is irrestisible every one laughs with him. Worthy of mention for their work are Joyce Womack, who plays the pretty Bianca and Al len Fletcher, as father of the sisters. The costuming for the most part is . excellent, proving that Paul Reinhardt, the company's costumier, can achieve good re sults if he is so minded. This reviewer particularly liked the manner in which Di rector Hanson emphasized the play within a play, and his use of manservants to Petruchio in almost a chorus line style.

Slang Can Give Tip on Personality Memphis, Tenn. UK Bet ter watch that slang it can give a significant tip as to your personality. Dr. James iO Wax of Temple Israel says only people of little faith have a "so what?" attitude, ask "what's in it?" or wonder "what's his angle?" Saying "so what?" to indicate something is unimportant is merely "an undignified expres sion," Wax said. But when the phrase is used to signify that "it doesn't make any difference' it takes on "a greater and deeper significance." "One can almost sense a feel ing of" helplessness in the phrase," Wax said. "When peo ple begin to feel what they do is unimportant, that they can exert no effective force in their own lives, they have forfeited their birthright to lead creative, productive and happy lives." As for another slang phrase, "what's in it?": "People whose main concern is what they can get out of some thing miss a great deal of the joy of living. It is well to con sider all the factors before mak ing a decision, but it is foolish and wrong to be concerned pri marily with the reward." And for the third phrase, "what's his angle?": "It indicates a lack of faith in our fellowmen. It suggests a certain cynicism that not only calls into question the integrity of others but which is self-de stroying."
