Now the Duke of. Windsor walks along the city streets on his way to meet friends fori lunch or just for exercise. His hair is still blonde though it is threaded with gray. But otherwise he looks much the same as that youthful Prince of whales whose shy grin, dem ocratic ways and high spirits made him a public favorite. Now people rarely turn to stare when he walks past. . The Duchess of Windsor fre quently goes shopping, but for surprising items. On one recent day 'she walked casually into the housewares section of a large Manhattan department store. She was shopping for an ironing-board to take back to France, t The most romantic couple of the century live now almost like private citizens. They ar rived here last month and moved back into the 28th floor suite in the Waldorf Towers which they occupy - each year when they return. Their personal paintings were hung on the wall, and a few pieces of their own furniture were placed among the hotel furnishings. In between their an nual visits the suite is rented to visitors, often including such royal teants as the King and Queen of Greece. The former King, and the American-born woman for whom ne gave up nis throne 18 years! agu, regal u. wis inp 10 me uni ted States as a holiday. The duchess, as an American; has many friends here and likes to come back each year to see them. Their arrival here is marked by a flurry of parties. But while they admittedly are social assets to any hostess, the duke and the duchess are far from pace-setters an Manhattan's win ter social season. They prefer small parties with people they know. Certain royal courtesies are carefully observed, however, even by hostesses giving small parties. They tell the duchess ahead of time who will be among the guests and what is planned for the evening.

"Opera tion Ivy," a government film on the H-bomb test at Eniwetok atoll in 1952 was shown the group by the civil defense chair man, Sam Bailey. After the picture, Col Charles Stafford, civil defense director for Jackson countv. snoke brief ly. He stated that while Medford is not a logical bomb target it could become a target of ODDor- tunity. Portland or San Fran cisco are the closest logical tar gets, but in that event Medford would have to aid in care of those refugees fortunate enough to escape, he said, ine colonel advocated first aid training for every adult. Sat. Bernard Moore of the Air Force, also spoke briefly on the value of the Ground Observer corps, first as a defense, measure and second as rescue measure in locating downed planes. He stated that as a flyer he knows it is a "good feeling" to realize there are people watching from th ground in case of trouble. He also stated that up until Janu ary of this year only 27 states maintained GOC posts, but that now they are being set up in all 48 states because of the rescue value. More volunteers are need ed to help keep the Medford post operating at highest efficiency. During the business meeting members decided Jo make the year's project the building of risers, band stands and music racks for the schools music de partment. They will also repair and refurbish the band uniforms. Vincent Bevis, principal, stated that seven years ago there were 10'in the band and 6 in the orches tra, at the present time the band has 42 members and orchestra 22. Plans, and designs for . the platforms and risers were se cured from the band, orchestra, and chorus teachers. Mr. Bevis announced that on January 13 and 14 every child in the school would receive a hearing test; on January 24 smallpox vaccinations, and booster shots on diphtheria, teta nus and whooping cough, will be given to the first and fifth graders. He stated that Lincoln has the best health percentage since he has been principal, with 67 per cent of the students in good health. One cause of this is better dental care, the prin ciDal said, and asked parents to continue to cooperate in getting needed work done. Mr. Bevis announced that for the fourth consecutive year the Medford elementary schools have won safety awards from the Na tional Safety Council, the only elementary school to do so. Med ford city schools rank fourth in the nation in school safety among the 458 cities with a population of 10 to' 20 thousand. Mrs. Howard Hammond, dele gate to the Medford Council of pta. snoke briefly on the recent meeting of that organization.

A count chimr that 365 undesirable magazines were appearing on the stands in Medford. inose in cluded crime, horror, and lurid stories.

Of Intelligence Though . most everyone - has some degree of Intelligence, not everyone has the same type. Some people can deal bet ter with ab stract matters, some with practical mat ters, and some with people, a n d so we have "ab- stract" intelli gence. "practi Dr. Huxlock cal" intelli gence, and "social" intelligence. In spite of the fact that there are differences in the types of intelligence it is nice for every one to try to develop every type of the utmost. The person who has high abstract intelligence, for example, should do all he can to develop the practical side of his intelligence so he can deal with everyday problems, and the social intelligence he has so he can deal with people suc cessfully. In the same way, the person who is practical-minded should not say he cannot do school work and not try to do the best he can. Nor should he shut himself off from people on the grounds that he never could get along with people. In our modern life, every Jype of intelligence is needed to make a success. Gone are the days when a person who, for example, had a high level of practical intelligence could make a success by going into business for himself and not bother to finish high school. Counts in Getting Job Young people today are living in a country where education counts in getting a iob. The minimum requirement for most jobs is a high school diploma. So the young person must make the most he can of his abstract intelligence, even if he is not highly gifted along those lines. He must buckle down and studv at least until he finishes high school. In the same . way, he must train himself to get along well with people even if he seems to lack social intelligence. He will be working with people all his life and he can work with them more successfully if he learns to get along with them.

LETTERS FROM READERS Frivolity! pt seems to ma that the young people of today are much: more frivilous than we war at their age. Why is this so?" . - . - Curious Reader. (A) Perhaps you have forgot ten your youth and how frivo lous you were then. It is often hard for people to look back and see themselves as they were at an earlier age. It is generally agreed that our young people of today are very serious for their years. If they give the impres sion of being frivolous, it is be cause they are able to have a good time and still be serious when the occasion calls for it. They naturally enjoy their fun and I am sure you would not want them to be serious all the time. -.' Paying Bills: "My husband tells me I should not pay my bills promptly because it creates the impression that we do not have good credit. I have always been taught to pay a bill as soon as it comes in." Troubled Wife. (A) It is unnecessary to pay a bill 'as soon as it comes in but, on the other hand, it is unwise to allow it to go unpaid for too long. Why not hit a happy med ium and pay your bills before the month is over? If you have established credit with a firm or an individual, you can assume that your credit is good unless you fail to pay your bills within a reasonable time. You do not have to do things to "impress" people. Enjoying Helplessness: "My mother has -always been a very efficient, self-reliant person. She is now a widow and has come to live with me. I find her very helpless and dependent, even though she is in good health. My husband tells me she 'en joys' having me wait on her. Is he right?" V Questioning (A) It is possible, as your hus band suggests, that your mother is enjoying being waited on by you. It is also possible that she was not as independent as you thought she was. While your father was alive, she may have depended on him more than you realized and now that he is gone she is turning to you as she formerly turned to him.
