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.

"The Store of a Thousand Thoughtful Gifts"
Table Rock Mrs. Arden
and young son Russell of Cen
tral Point was a visitor here
Friday at the Dean Inglis home.
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.

sugars from wood wastes, foods
"farmed" from the oceans and
mass-produced foods from factories.

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.

Fort Worth, Tex. U.R) A
woman motorist, stopped by po
lice for driving 38 miles an hour
in a 20-mile-an-hour zone, said
she failed to notice the speed

The children were watching po
