In and Around Table Rock Around Hollywood By ALINE MOSBY United Press Correspondent I JW si Hollywood (U.R) Holly-1 wood has imported another hanHsomp tenor, a blond, mus- of Mario Lan za who's hap py to be out of opera and not singing to "fat sopranos." Broad-shouldered Oreste Kirkop, whose name alone Aline Morty has made him an object of local curiosity, is an Italian-French subject of the British colony of Malta. He was whisked out of European opera by Paramount Studio and signed for "The Vagabond King", as the studio's answer to Lanza. While some opera singers sigh that singing for these lowly mo tion pictures isn't good for the larynx, Kirkop beamed today he's happier in the wilds of Hol lywood. Toe Fat for Him "It's so much better when you don't have a big fat soprano to sing to," enthused the 28-year- old tenor. "In this picture I have Kathryn Grayson and Rita Mor eno beautiful! "Movie acting is not so diffi cult as I thought. I am sup posed to be a strong man with the women, a poet and a swords man. They tell me Francois Villon in the story would make love differently than other men. But I just decided to be natural. That is the best way to act. I never liked the way most opera singers act," he added in his accented voice (Paramount figures accents go over big with female fans). "They are so stiff. In opera I always tried to be natural." For nine years Kirkop sang with opera companies in Italy, France, Malta and England. While he was appearing at Cov ent Garden in London three movie companies fought over him and Paramount won. Oreste arrived in filmville last March. After a spirited re fusal to change his name (one producer thought it sounded like an advertising agency) the sing er settled down to study voice, fencing and other skills neces sary to be a romantic tenor. The tenor uncovered its find only recently when shooting be gan on the film. Although Oreste is bending over the Hollywood Grindstone, life here is easier than the opera, he thinks. "I used to live for my voice," he said. "In opera you get up at 10, take special lessons and ex ercise before, lunch. Then to the theater to rehearse. Some sing ers even save their voices by sel dom speaking and holding hand kerchiefs over their noses in case of germs! "But opera is very exciting and I hope to sing at the Met some day." Oreste is well-known in Eur ope but in Hollywood he's still an unknown face. "The privacy, it is nice," he said with a genuine blush. Sunburn Possible For Farm Animals Champaign, 111. (U.R) Un iversity of Illinois veterinarians have announced the discovery that farm animals can get sun burned. The veterinarians said the ani mals eat certain plants, lose their hair or. coats, and the skinned patches become sunburned. They said farmers should keep their livestock away from such plants as alsike clover and oth er legumes that cause a condi tion known as trifoliosis; also from such blooming plants as St. Johnswort, rape and buckwheat. Texas has 254 counties of which 191 are producing oil and gas.

Regular meeting of Table Rock Ladies club will be held Wednesday, at the home of Ruth Brown. Ladies are reminded to bring a homemade valentine. ' Mr. and Mrs. Fred Kudrna of Coos Bay were brief visitors here Monday with relatives after a week end spent in Medford. While attending a funeral re cently in Medford, were were greeted at the door with a hearty hand shake by the under taker, so we thought we had better Fee our doctor, and after a check-up we got to discussing farm crops and animals. It devel oped that the Doc's favorite meat is lamb, but he didn't eat chicken at all. When a boy, it seems that his morning chore before going to school was clean ing the drop boards in his fath er's poultry house, and when chicken is mentioned, this little task, and the aroma that went with it, comes rushing back to mind. There were 26,014 cars cros sing over the counting tape, and figuring ZlA persons to the car would make a total of 84,545 people who visited TouVelle park during the past year. This is a conservative estimate, as those who ride horses or come afoot .do not trip the tape, and frequently bus loads of picnick ers are visitors there. The above figures as to estimated numbers was furnished by Walter Timm the caretaker, the idea that it is a conservative estimate is our own. The old Stanley Vaughn farm was recently sold by Earl Pef fley, who purchased it some two years ago, to a Mr. Pirkley of Central Point. Included in the sale is a water right for forty acres, bought from the local ditch company. The regular monthly assess ments bills for service on the White City lines will be due and payable one month in advance, or about the first of each month, according to the business office at White City. Sams Valley farmers are con- sidering ' the signing of leases permitting the drilling of wells in prospecting for oil on their property. It is claimed that if farmers will go in together and sign up 15,000 acres or more, a major oil company will take over the development and pros pecting work. The area to be leased runs from the Lyman place near Gold Hill to the Dodge bridge. - Perhaps many people living here now do not know that our community at one time had an oil well that created quite a little excitement. We may write of this in future happenings and also the two coal mines once in operation here. Mr. and Mrs. M. H. Goodlin of Corcoran, Calif., are spend ing a few days here visiting friends and relatives. Mr. Good lin has brought up a truck load of household goods for Robert Grant who has bought Carl Morgan's lease on the Goodlin farm, together with the stock and equipment. Mr. and Mrs. Grant have three children, the eldest being five years of age. The Morgan family have moved to Jacksonville. Mrs. Frank Myers were a re cent visitor in Corvallis where she attended a 4-H meeting for club leaders. Several from here attended the thirty-fifth wedding anni versary held recently for Mr. and Mrs. L. A. Brennesholtz at their home on Arnold lane. The Brennesholtz family were for mer residents of our communi ty where they took an active part in many activities. R. V. Beall, of the lane of the same name where he was born some 77 years ago was a business visitor here Wednesday. He was looking for lambs to put in with his to make a load for the San Francisco market. Vinson Hunt, farmer, fire warden, and aviator from the Meadows district was down this way Monday checking on his car insurance, as a long horned steer had rammed his horns through the back window of his- pick-up. While down this way he was going to stop at the Federal revenue office to have them help him figure out how much he went in "the hole" on is farming operations. Bob Gilman, farmer of the Ross lane district says the new incentive payment, or subsidy on wool, will ruin the wool business as it did the clover and alfalfa market. Mrs. Jack Cleaves of Coos Bay, who was a surgery patient recently at the Community hos pital expects to return to her home next week. Ezra Benson with his worries about farm surpluses should look into this: The hens on the Everett Brown place on Big ham lane have started eating their' own eggs, while down the lane apiece, the Howsley cow sucks herself, thus saving feed and helping take care of the milk surplus. For the past several years a band of white swan have win tered in the fields on the Table Top Ranch. This winter only two showed up until a few days ago the number was increased to fifteen according to O. T. Wilson, who passes the farm each day. From reports we hear, some of we farmers will have to do better this year than in '54, or we won't make the required in come of $400 to get under so cial security. Several from here attended the Guy Tex funeral held recent ly in Central Point. Mr. Tex, who served as postmaster at Central Point for many years, had the distinction of serving under seven Presidents, from Teddy Roosevelt to Franklin D. Although taking his work ser iously he always had time for a cheery word and a pleasant smile. We first met up with him when we were working for what they then called the Condor Water and Power Co. in 1906. Guy was helping put up the first pole line from Gold Ray to Med ford. Although he might have been considered a party man, the welfare of his country al ways came first. We remember when the Table Rock company of Home Guards joined the Cen tral Point company for night drills in World War I, Guy was always there doing his best to be prepared if a call came. Again, we remember during World War II, when he was sorely vexed when some of his townspeople showed indiffer ence about manning the obser vation posts. Guy Tex, a short name, easy to say and to re member, a man easy to meet but hard to forget. Institute Preparing Menu for Future Use Columbus, O. (U.R) Dr. K. Starr Chester, consultant for the Battelle Memorial Institute here, is busy preparing menus for future generations when pop ulations swell beyond present capacities to produce food. Dr. Starr named some possible future products from nature's kitchen as algae, food yeasts, sugars from wood wastes, foods "farmed" from the oceans and mass-produced foods from factories. The "O and C" lands are pub lic lands in Western Oregon which were granted to the Ore gon Central railroad companies (later the Oregon and California Railroad Co.), to aid in construc tion of railroads but which later were forfeited and returned to the federal government by re vestment of title.

' Frost Discounted For Turning Leaves Syracuse, N.Y. (U.R) Ex perts at the State College of For estry have exploded a long-accepted belief that frost turns leaves gold and grown in the fall. . . ' ' f . Dr. Hugh Wilcox, associate professor of forest botany, ex plained that, in the fall, the nat ural wearing out or aging of leaves is accompanied by a re duction In the amount of chloro phyll and an unmasking of the yellow and orange pigments that were present in the leaves dur ing summer. Cool, dry and bright fall wea ther helps turn the leaves, but frost is no factor, he added. SHOULD HAVE LOOKED BETTER " . " Fort Worth, Tex.
