i Around Hollywood ly ALINE MOSBY United Prus Correspondent '-- Hollywood (U.PJ Maurice Chevalier, now 166, will appear cn American TV for the first time because 1 ' ' Bob Hone thinks video ne eds "new blood." The ski-nosed comic figures t e levisio viewers are getting tired of 'the same com ics, jugglers -. Aline Mosbr sineers and trained dogs, so he pioneered a new idea by going to Europe to film his NBC show. As hi3 chief euest star he chose Chevalier, who hasn't been seen in the U.S. since 1947. After that the Frenchman fell into political -disfavor and was unable to get a visa to enter the country until re cently. "I first met him in 1945," said - Hope, who was lounging around his house to rest after flying in from Texas. PaoDla Cheered "At that time he was kinda daneinz a tiehtwire as far as the people of France were concerned. But when I introduced him at a benefit in Nice, France, they cheered. After that he always told me he was grateful. "So when I had an invitation to the command performance in London last month I got the idea of doing a few spots for my TV show over there.

"It's interesting and exciting, instead of seeing the same thing on TV all the time." Hope is so enthusiastic about making TV an around-the-world event that he predicts an inter national network, with American TV sets picking up televised events from foreign countries via an overseas cable. Next year he plans to film an entire TV show in Paris at the invitation of the French government. One Disadvantage There was only one disadvan tage, he added, to having an English studio audience for his Chevalier show. "When the announcer came out to do the commercial and started talking about cake mix, everybody laughed. They thought it was a comedy bit," he groan ed. After returned from Europe two weeks ago, and before tak ing off for an Air Force base to entertain troops on New Year's Day, the much-traveled Hope hopped over to Texas to open a bank. "It's another branch for How ard Huzhes." drawled Hope. "They have to pay off .his Christmas Club account." Pythian Knights Elect New Officers Monday Evening Walter W.

Son Must Take Chances Of Mothei's Finances There are times when personal feelings must be put aside and action must be taken, even if it may result in hard feelings. Such a case is described by the young man who writes: (Q) "A year ago. my father died and left my mother well fixed for the rest of her life. Mother has always been poor at figures and has no sense of money values. While Dad lived, he kept a careful watch over how my mother spent her money and he never permitted her to have charge accounts Ministers Will Aid In Blood Program Members of the Medford Ministerial association, meeting for breakfast yesterday morning, heard an appeal for their sup port of the Red Cross blood pro gram. 4 Eugene Kooser presented the appeal on behalf of the Red Cross, and several the 17 minis ters present undertook to pro vide from three to five donors from their congregations, and otherwise to support the pro gram in any way possible. Three members, the Rev. Messrs. Kenneth Korby, Ray mond E. Balcombr and Norman K. Tully, were named to a com mittee to meet with members of the local electrical workers union. A letter from the Inter national Electrical Workers un ion had invited discussions lead ing to a closer relationship be tween the groups.. The association voted to ex press appreciation to local stores and individuals for their co operation in the current display of old and unusual Bibles being made in connection with the Bible emphasis program be tween Thanksgiving and Christ mas. . ' The association president, the Rev. Willis Loar of the East wood Baptist church, presided. Devotions were led by Mr. Bal comb of the First Methodist church. Civilian Defense Men Get Training Three local men represented Jackson county and city of Ash land civil defense organizations at a rescue training course held recently in Eugene, according to Col. Charles Stafford, county civil defense director. Representing the county civil defense agency were William R. Flagg, chief weighmaster in charge of traffic for the county engineer's office, and LeRoy Williams, of the Medford fire department. Capt. Charles D. Davis of the Ashland fire de partment represented the Ash land city agency. . The men received instruction in casualty handling, use of rescue trucks, tools and equip ment, and other information pertaining to civil defense res cue operations! The course was conducted by a federal Civil De fense administration rescue dem onstration team. Purpose of the course, accord ing to Colonel Stafford, was to instruct those who attended in fundamental rescue techniques so they could demonstrate them to those in their own civil de fense organizations. Vs.. Rni - " it if Dx. Hurlock at the stores. Now she is on a spending spree, buying right and left and charging every thing. If she keeps this up, she will be penniless in a short time. "1 am the only son, though I have two married sisters. They live far enough away so that they are not aware of what our mother is doing with her money. My wife thinks I should manage Mother's money for her as my father did, but I hesitate to suggest it to her because I am afraid she will think I have a personal motive for wanting to get her money into my hands.- How would you suggest ihat I handle this problem?" . .. , (A) I suggest that you stop thinking about how your mother may. feel about your offers to help her man age her finan cial affairs and take ac tion at once. Other wise when she is penniless, you may find you are the one who will have to assume the r e sponsibility for supporting her. Tell her in no uncertain terms that money is not made of rub ber, to be stretched to any de sired size. Make tip a budget for her, based on the money she has and the income it will bring an nually. Tell her exactly what she can afford to spend for food, clothing, a home, medical ex penses, etc. Then advise her to close her charge accounts. To a person with spendthrift tendencies, charge accounts invite trouble. If she has to pay cash for some thing she is tempted to buy, she may find the temptation waning. Each week, go over the ac counts she is asked to keep and point out her purchases that were unwise. All of this, I real ize, sounds as if you were deal ing' with your child instead of your mother. But if she is be having like a child in handling her money, you must treat her as a child. (COPYRIGHT 1954, GENERAL FEATURES CORP.)
