TrroroKB (omooh) mail tsxbuhz IPciDttnciDUQirrpn "I didn't make a mistake" said live-year-old Luana Loffer with modest pride after finishing her song on a recent TV program: Luana not only didn't make a mistake, but created a minor sensa tion because of her assuxance and sweet rendition of -the "Mama Doll Song. v , Luana was advertising the March of Dimes show which Phoe nix Grange gave last Monday, and then appeared in the show itself where she again proved a favorite. So now relatives and. rim4a wmu4rin if ah will co on the stage, for Luana is en the same "family tree" with the singer and actress, Eva Tan- guay, whose song, "I Don't Care," made her famous., , J " - Luana is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs., Warren Loffer, Phoenix, ' 'and her grandmother, Mrs. Dorothy Loffer, who lives in the same household, was a cousin of Eva Tanguay and the two played to ' gether as children in Lawrence, Mass. The family is of french ', Canadian descent. ; Luana's mother said the tot wasn't one bit worried about ap- . pearing on the show and confessed "I was more scared than she . was." V'.' -; -. '.' ;.Vj ; '' . Demetrios Zettos of Edessa, Greece, and William E. Sweet of ! Medford have renewed by correspondence a friendship which , started during the Korean war. Mr. Sweet, a lieutenant in the , United States Army, and the Greek, a lieutenant with one of the units from his country assigned to the UN forces in Korea, served ; together for a time. . . . : r Y.'..? .. . ; f Although our world is so large, it is yet so narrow as far as . human relations are concerned," wrote the former soldier from I Greece in a recent letter. "You are in the United States; I am in Greece. Seven thousand miles of land and sea stand between us and yet our minds, lives and goals are almost touching each other: ; .The difference of our nationalities, our religion and even our lives, did not prevent us from going to that remote part of earth (Korea) to struggle for the maintenance of our ideals, which are. ' so common. Of course, the lack of geographical relation between ' the U. S., Greece and Korea did not mean that there was a lack I also in our human relations." ' V, ' . Mr. Zettos philosophized a bit about war and peace and then said he hoped that the nations of the world would eventually put into deeds the teachings of Christ and put an end to war. "If the latter is not succeeded," he wrote in his imperfect English, "then : the jungle will be glad to accept us. It may be even too good for ; us. He signed his letter "Jim" the. nickname by which he was : known to his American friends. "?- - T-;v'.' ji ; ' . j ..

Eldon Deem, Yellow cab driver,5 is .not ; only a good neighbor but considerable of a hero as far as the J. L. Bradleys are concerned. Hurrying back to Medford in the middle ' of the night after a trip into the suburbs, driver Deem saw that the Bradley house was on fire.. He used his, caV radio to turn in the : alarm, by way of his company office, Helped Mrs. Bradley and her small children to escape from the burning building (the father works a night shift) and then stayed to fight the blaze and carry out furniture. , ; , As a small child we saw the family home burn to the ground J along with practically all .the rest of a small lumbering town, and ! the horror at fire has lived with us since. Then, as now, kind 1 neighbors took, the victims in -to their homes, helped us with the immediate problem of food and clothing and to settle in new houses. 1 J , - . .' It's not often that a host and hostess can boast that an entire church choir sang at their party.-'Thursday night Dr. and Mrs. Kirkland West of First Presbyterian church were holding open house so after practice was qverthej chapel choir attended to '".a body. They dashed in, lined up and with Director Allen Lehl in his accustomed place, sang an old Welsh song," favorite of the Wests. The selection was "Aberystwyth" we hope all the letters are in the right place and it is the name of a town in Wales. , -. ; r - uq:-. tt w . ?:$ -jitj, -:rc y When Dr. Van Valzah, grinding away on one of our front teeth," asked what was the news from , WSC and the Junior, we had to reply that our news wasn't hew any more no letter in two weeks. "That's fine "comforted Dr. W, who also has a daughter . in col lege. "No letter means she doesn't need: money or new clothes."' He was right, too. Next letter said she'd been busy because the chorus and orchestra had rehearsed every night for two weeks in "preparation for an oratorio, that she was going to Spokane to see. the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo and would the next check please be ample enough to cover registration for second semester, books, house bills and a bit of pin money. ' s . ... i' Hearing that Puget-Sound - sparrow had invaded the Jack Moran garden, we thumbed through the pages of Peterson's book on birds to see Just what a Puget Sound sparrow looked like. Not only did we ztnd that name, but much to our amazement discover ed that Peterson lists 88 different sparrows. We counted them : twice. Interesting names, too, such as the Aleutian Savannah, the black-chinned, Botteri's and Brewer's sparrows, Heermann's song sparrow, Inyo fox and Kodiak fox as well as several other fox sparrows, Modoc,; Modesto and ping, western grasshopper, western lark and two or three other westerns.

A United Press dispatch yesterday said that Princess Margaret of the British isles was at last being permitted to go overseas Malone.- In this instance "alone" meant that only two equerries,, two ladies iri waiting, two maids, a male hairdresser and a Scot land Yard detective are in the party. . . .' V. a , Because the "color" problem has been on the increase in the West Indies, which Princess Margaret is to visit, Buckingham Palace has announced that the princess will shake hands with everyone she meets, no matter what their color or station. O.S Consultation Urged OnVelfareProblem ii Portland Wb Tha State Welfare Commission has acreed to urge Gov. Paul Patterson toJ consult wan.: me state Legisla ture on the general assistance "predicament in certain Oregon countries. The proposal was advanced by Bardi Skulason, Portland attor ney and a member of the com mission. He made the proposal in the face of announced 45 per cent reductions in Multnomah county welfare payments., Mrs. Loa Howard Mason, wel fare director, said 'there, is such a wide disparity in general assist ance we have recommended that authority be given the State Welfare - Commission to .effect uniformity in : general - assist ance.' - :?

Thompson, and he was born in New Brunswick, Canada, but as long as he can remember his home has been Aberdeen, Wash. .,v v. He went to high school there,' ind. because the girl who edited the. high school publication, "Ocean Breeze," was fond, of poetry, Tommy started writing verse.. He has been at it ever since. No less than : 1,000 odes, serious as well as sentimental, have been composed by Tommy for special events of the past five years. They are dedicated to the volunteer sponsors of the shows. "Sometimes they are read on the occasion of the presentation, but ? I .always write . a ; few lines of verse for every event we have had and then mail the pbem to the sponsor, Tommy says..,:;; . , Tommy has been confined to a wheel chair for the : past . 11 years. He spent three years at Barnes hospital, ; Vancouver, be fore coming to Camp White. It is hard to realize now that Tommy was chief of police at one time at Hoquiam, Wash. His World War I service will match any at the domiciliary. He was 19 VS months in France with the 161st Infantry, and was in every major engagement during that period.' He was wounded in the Meuse-Argonne' offensive. ; Tommy is active in the DAV and; is a patron as weU as a producer, of .special shows . in. wnicn dancers,' singers and the accordion girls participate.
