Royal Couple
Makes Visit
To New York
By ELIZABETH TOOMEY
United Press Correspondent
, New York U.R) Nearly 36
years ago a golden-haired young
man arrived in this city for a
riotous welcome as the world's
most popular prince on his first
visit to the United Stales.
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.

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. In the case of
a reigning monarch the guest
list would have to be submitted

Lincoln PTA
Has Program
On Defense
Lincoln Parent-Teacher Asso
ciation members watched an is
land completely disappear dur
ing their meeting January 12, at
the school gymnasium. "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. She
stated that Mrs. William Arary
had spoken on the cooperation
given in the withholding of un
desirable comic books and maga
zines from sale by the merchants
n Medford. All the dealers were
very cooperative, and aided hi
this work it was said. A count
chimr that 365 undesirable
magazines were appearing on the
stands in Medford. inose in
cluded crime, horror, and lurid
stories.
The Medford Council of PTA
was also pleased with the thea
tre management for showing
movies recommended by Par
ent-Teacher Magazine In - tneir

As We Live
Necessary Today To Develop
All Types. 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.
