But among the thousands who chuckled at his blooper was Kermit S chafer, .who not only gets a fiendish glee out of hear ing an announcer fluff his lines but collects such boners for post erity. ' - .. Soap Salesman Goofed k The well intentioned announc er who held up a cake of soap and urged listeners to "Use it in, your shlub or tower" is. in Schafer rogue's gallery along with the lady who told house- wifes the 'correct way to place "porks and foons" on the table.

U.R) Rubber fence posts for motorists with wooden heads have given a good account of themselves at ah experimental point here for the past year. ; . ; ti Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. made hollow rubber posts for the beginning of a traffic island where Broad Boulevard becomes a divided highway. The old-type steel posts had taken a heavy toll of drivers who couldn't get out of the center of the street fast enough. Now : the r errant "autos just bang into the rubber posts, bend them over and come to a rough stop. The biggest . damage bill recorded during , the year was $10. rri -r'i Of course it 'plays "hob" with statistics. No one now knows how many wobbly drivers smack into the posts and then - back off, full of admiration for .the strength of ' their bumpers. . it used to be easy to keep track of them. The police tow 'truck had to tear them loose. "So are kiddie programs and the informal shows like Arthur Godfrey and Steve Allen." J Granddaddy of All According to Schafer the granddaddy of them all was com- Two Agricultural Groups To Meet ..Two-agricultural ' committee meetings have been set for next Monday and Tuesday in Med ford, which J. C. Moore, Oregon State college -conservation spec ialist,' will attend, according to W.B. Tucker, county, extension agent.- :r. - ' - The Monday meeting will be on land classification ; in the county, and - will include the state committee and local classi fication group 1 of the - Jackson County Agricultural council. To be discussed 'is the reclassifica tion of certain county lands from the . timber , to grazing, which will make a difference in the state fire "tax.' No county land is now in - the grazing category. The fire protection tax is eight cents an acre for timber; land and only five cents an acre for grazing, Tucker pointed out. ,On Tuesday, the land use com mittee of the county council will meet with Moore to discuss and recommend work on' the import ant phases of the governor's -tuiuio3 saoinosai jshav yepsds tee, whose report is being stud ied by the state legislature.
