On The Side By E. V. Durling (Distributed by King Features Svadicsts, Inc.) Among the dramas, the best show on Broadway is "The Caine Mutiny Court Martial." Of the musicals my choice is "Can- Can" which features that lively Pansienne named Lilo, who is the top French entertainment importation since Anna Held. In fact, Lilo seems to combine all the best features of Anna Held, Gaby Deslys, Irene Bordoni and Mistinguette. I saw my first play when around five. Offhand, I can't remember whether is was "Jack in the Beanstalk" or "Oli ver Twist." Anyway, I have been a regular theatergoer ever since. In all that time I cannot recall seeing a greater performance than Lloyd Nolan gives as Capt. Queeg in "The Caine Mutiny Court Martial." I will discuss this in a later issue, it certainly rates a special paragraph. Speed Limit In what state can you drive an automobile at the highest speed and still be within the law? Two states are ,tied in this respect. Wisconsin and Okla homa both have a highway speed of 65 miles an hour. Massachu setts has the most conservative highway speed limit of all. You really have to watch your speed ometer when motoring in the old Bay State. There the limit is 40 miles an hour. What is a "rea sonable" rate of speed to travel by motor car on a highway? In eight states no specific speed limit is mentioned. The motorist is permitted by law to travel at a "reasonable" rate of speed. These states are Alabama, Ari zona, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Nevada and Tennessee. In conclusion, let me say I have made the transcontinental round trip by auto twelve times and have yet to get a traffic ticket of any kind on such a journey. Speedy Delivery An airmail special delivery letter posted in Chicago at eight at night was delivered in Sacra mento, Calif., at one p.m. the next day. So a pleased subscriber informs me. That is almost as fast as to delivery as a night letter type telegram. Then consider the difference in cost. Also even more important, the lack of limit on the number of words used. Bank Names What bank in this country has the most interesting name? How about the Boston Five Cents Sav ings Bank? That is the largest savings bank in New England. It is 101 years old. Just how it acquired its name I cannot say. Could it be that it once accepted deposits of a nickel, a half a dime, or five cents. I must check on this. Important Dales What are the important dates in November besides election day, Armstice Day, and Thanks giving? Are you aware of the fact that November 9 this year will be the sixty-sixth anniver sary of Steve Brodie's alleged jump from the Brooklyn bridge? Have you a bachelorette in your family? Has she reached the age of 25? Then I regret to say she must be classed as "a spinster." Has she given a thought to the fact that November 25 is St. Catherine's Day? St. Catherine is the patron Saint of Spinsters. The most celebrated of all "maidens' prayers" is the prayer of St. Catherine. Invitation Know anybody named Mac Leod? Tell them they have a standing invitation to spend a weekend at a castle in the High lands of Scotland. That is, at the home of the chief of the clan MacLeod who is Flora MacLeod of MacLeod. Only person I know named MacLeod, is that statues que beauty . from California, Janet MacLeod and I haven't seen her lately.

McCarthy kept up his running battle with the Army over the Peress case today and fired a new blast at the special Senate committee that recom mended his censure. McCarthy demanded that Army Secretary Robert T, Stevens identify the "secret mas ter ... in the Pentagon" who promoted and honorably dis charged former Maj. Irving Pe ress, a New York dentist describ ed by McCarthy as a "fifth amendment Communist. Termed 'Lynch Party Simultaneously, he termed the special Senate session which opens Monday on the censure issue a "lynch party and de manded that Censure Committee Chairman Arthur V. Watkins (R-Utah) explain an "imbecilic ruling" before debate begins. McCarthy complained that Watkins ruled during the cen sure hearings that McCarthy could not show that a 1951 sub committee that investigated him subpoenaed a witness who was "mentally incompetent. Watkins ruled at the time that the Censure Committee was interested only in whether the prior investigation was duly authorized. He said whether or not the man McCarthy named was insane had nothing to do with it. 'Grossly Dishonest' McCarthy said that for the elections subcommittee to try to call a witness who was "mental ly incompetent" was "grossly dishonest" and the" people should be told about it. ' He said Watkins ruled in ef fect that he could not criticize the committee for this. - "Perhaps you might want to explain this imbecilic ruling be fore the debate commences," McCarthy wrote to Watkins. 1 Around Hollywood YOU DON'T SAY1 Manila U.R) The chief of Quezon City police criticizied his officers today for using big words in their reports. He said "such pernicious practice, in stead of expediting matters . . . made the reports difficult to comprehend." SAFETY CLASSES PLANNED New Britain, Conn. U.R) A proposal requiring adult jay walkers to attend safety classes to learn how to cross streets was approved by the Common Coun cil last night. By ALINE MOSBY -United Press Correspondent Hollywood (U.R) Jimmy Dunn, launching his third car reer with a successful comeback on television, As We Live By ELIZABETH HURLOCK, PH.D. Married in Haste, Girl Dreads Meeting In-Laws When the past cannot be un done, the best thing to do is to forget it. A young woman writes: (Q) "Nearly three yean ago I met and fell in love "with a very fine young man. I have always looked down on girls who got married because they had to. Well, this happened to me, and lo this day I hardly believe it. My mother-in-law and father-in-law were out of town at the time of my mar riage, and I have never met them. They have been gone . the two years of my marriage, and I do not know when the lime will come that I will havo to ifaee them. They, of course, know the reason for our marriage in such a hurry. My sisler-in-law is one of the most wonderful gals in the world, and she has been swell to me. She adores the baby. Should I apologize to my mother-in-law for this wrong . doing? Or, should I just let it be a thing of the past? I have such a feeling of guilt on my mind that it is making me a nervous wreck." (A) Under no conditions should you apologize to your mother-in-law for your "wrong-doing." Nor could you for get it, even if you tried. But it is now a part of your past, which you re gret but can not change. Your hus band was just as much tc blame for your hasty marriage Dr. Hurlock as you were. I am sure his par ents realize this. When the time comes for you to meet your parents-in-law, you want your relationship with them to be as friendly as possi ble. Starting out with an apology would certainly not achieve this end. Only if they should bring up the subject, which I doubt very much if they will, should you attempt to explain what happen ed or say you deeply regret it. It would be far better to allow this to go uamentioned. Instead, you should concen trate on making .your marriage as happy as possible . so . they will not regret that their son had to marry you. In addition, try to build up a friendly rela tionship with them in their ab sence by letters telling all about the baby. Your sister-in-law has already accepted you. The chances are that your parents-in-law will do the same.

Burba, chairman of the Red Cross blood program, yesterday reported on the failure of the last blood collection pro gram during the monthly meet ing of the Red Cross board of directors at the Medford hotel. The quota of blood needed was not filled, she said, and added that plans are being made to seek to increase the number of donors. " Leroy Williams, Medford fire man and first aid instructor, re ported that first aid classes are now under way in Shady Cove and Rogue River, and that five new classes will be started in Medford within the next two months. Mrs. James Shaw, director of the Junior Red Cross, presented a short program, a report on JRC activities at the Silver Falls training camp. Miss Sandra Strauss, Eagle Point, and Miss Barbara Swanson, Central Point, were the trainees for the Med ford chapter, and, they related some of their experinces while taking the course. It is an at tempt to assist the JRC to be come a more efficient organiza tion. Chairman Eugene Thorndike presided at the meeting. Dead line Sunday classified is at noon Saturday : 10 a.m. Monday for Monday: other days 5:30 orevionsday Alter another dry spell in the land of quick-silver careers, Dunn once again has soared to the top this time, to the sur prise of his fans, as a slapstick comedian in an NBC filmed TV serial, "It's A Great Life." Though Dunn has seen the bottom drop out of his life twice. Dunn, as we he is not bitter about the ups aging lovers ; and downs of show business. Natu.-e of Beast "It s the nature of the beast," reflected the actor, who is losing a battle with his waistline and graying hair but still has that warm smile. "If you let things affect you too much, it hits you too hard. The glory of the past isn't para mount. You learn to take it with a grain of salt. When you get up there, you should impersonalize yourself, like you're a bowl of clay. PAntrl they bore you. You know they IxCUUI I aren't sincere. 1 I "T Ur tt 1 -JJ.J j. nave uue icgiei, lie auueu. "I wish I hadn't made such a hit in the beginning, that I had had more time to work up." Dunn proved to be the best off-beat casting of the year when he became a quite funny sloven ly uncle with Michael O'Shea in the TV comedy. He is happy with the home medium and gets "a million dollars worth of laughs" while working. Outdoor Set Today he sat in the sun as the TV company informally filmed scenes of an outdoor set at Hal Roach studio. Many a TV serial is made at this studio, and Dunn waved a friendly hello as Amos 'N Andy and the cast of "My Little Margie" sauntered by. "Everybody is surprised I do slapstick," said Dunn. "I only tried it once before, on the stage. The agency that put together this TV show called me and here I am." Recalls Successes Dunn happily reminisced about his early successes with Shirley Temple, "Stand Up and Cheer" and "Bright Eyes.'' In 1935 he found himself among the unemployed and drifted back to the stage. Ten years later came "A Tree Grows In Brook lyn" but his Oscar, he said, didn't help him get more jobs. During the past few years he has lived quietly in his bach home at Malibu with his wife Friday, November 5, 1954 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE NINE and their son and occasionally appearances. done summer stock and TV guest ' "The story of my life should be called, 'Three Times Up'," said Dunn. . l l ( m HO L-lojnmq'idlCtdHOlJIH 100 PROOF PREMIUM QUALITY STRAIGHT BOURBON $415 45 Qt. $OZ2 JBm Pint Hollers W.A.HAllER CORP.tPHILA., PA.
