Other ages and other places venerated wisdcgn, Mr. Jar rell says," but in the United States "when politicians attack or make fun of men like Dean Acheson they use again and again, as one of their most effective points against him, the lact that he ' has gone to Harvard. Can anyone imagine their Ijglish or French or German counterparts being able to use Oxford, the Sorbonne or Heidelberg in this way?" Mr. Jarrell, writing in an article in the January "Mademoi selle," points to the philosopher Diogenes, who lived in a tub in the market place of Athens Jont was visited by Alexander the a.

Writing further about the current "passion for ignorance" Mr. Jarrell says the cattitude3 is net confined to politicians and told how his young daughter insisted one of her classmates was odd and different. When asked to explain she answered "Lots of ways. He wears corduroys instead of jeans." To which Author Jarrell says "Forgive us each day our corduroys." Mr. Jarrell concludes that intellectuals are just plain Ameri cans and that we're all intellectuals about something. "If you're one about salmon-fishing, why look with resentful distrust at somebody who's one about quartets or Sanskrit." We hope the anti-Shakepearean faction remembers this next summer when the festival fans go into their annual summer madness. Don Dewey, newspaper reporter. 4 who formerly worked for both The Medford Mail Tribune and "The Ashland Tidings, men tioned the festival in a Christmas note to Medford friends. The Deweys are now in Provo, Utah, where Don is attending Brig ham Young university. - He wrote of Dr. Hugh Nibley, teacher of religion, literary history and other courses at the university, who lived in Med ford many years ago. Dr. Nibley told his students that he was baptized in Jackson Hot springs before it was a swimming pool. "What brought up the subject of his native home was hjs com ment that Timon of Athens' is the best of Shakespeare's plays, t speaking theatrically only," Don wrote. "When I "told him it was being done in Ashland next year, he told me he was from Med ford and recalled that Ashland was always the cultural center of the Rogue valley." J; or a, lime rridax nient the Vinson vaugnans, who were giving a New Year's eye party, thought someone was playing a -trick on them'. Atcthe stroke of midnight when everyone was shouting HappyjNew Year, thelights went out. It ' was a New Year's eve trick, all. right, but not aimed espe cially at them, for there was a general power failure in that dis trict. Someone celebrated the new year by shooting a power line in two in the Eagle Point area. When the power failed to come on again, the Vaughans and their guests just settled down around the fireplace and spent an hour or two singing. . Does anyone remember when "garter snakes' stockings were in vogue. A dispatch from Berlin printed in the December 30 issue of The Mail Tribune in 1924 read: "Snake skin designs are the latest in women's hosiery here. They come in various colors, but the most popular is a sort of coffee and mik shade with vertical stripes. Then there is the garter snake stocking iwithglong yellow stripes and here and there a touch of brown or black. "Chocolate and coffee shades bearing blotches and spots, pat terned after the markings of the water moccasin and other reptiles which do not go in for stripes, also are in demand." The younger generation at WSC, we heap, doesn't go in for very second-hand hearses. Several Beta Theta Pi fraternity mem very second-hand bearses. Several Beta Theta Pi fraternity mem bers, and a group of men at Stimson hall purchased these funeral coaches for about $100 apiece and use them after the manner of buses, packing in some 16 or 18 students per haul. O.S. Egg Eating Spree Requested By Government in January BY VINCENT J. BURKE O Uniitd Press Correspondent Washington U.R) Starting today, the government wants you to go on a 31-day egg eating spree. Reasons: Hens are flooding the markets with a record smashing supply. Production is increasing seasonally. And the poultry industry is worried about finding a market for all the eggs even at today's low prices. Farm prices for eggs have dropped one-third during the past year. Producers don't relish the prospect of still lower prices, lis Egg Month So an industry - government campaign was officially launched Saturday to persuade you and other consumers that "January is Egg Month" and your diet should be adjusted, ac cordingly. Noting that egg industry lead ers haven't asked the e govern ment to set a floor price through price support buying, Secretary oi Agriculture Ezra x. Benson says the least consumers can do is eat a lot of eggs' to help out" ine egg-eating campaign, he says, should get "every possible assistance from consumers." He has ordered department officials in the field to give the campaign a plug, wherever and whenever they can. A special promotional bro chure put out by the Agricul ture Department says: "Besides being friendly to your budget, eggs are friendly to youthey make an excellent contribution to your nutritive needs ..." Agriculture officials predict that egg production this month probably will be about 270,000, 000 more eggs than last Janu ary's record supply. The government revealed yes terday it soon will take about 72,000,000 eggs off the market. The Agriculture Department said it would buy up 2,000,000 pounds of eggs in dried form for distribution to the national school lunch program.
