Thomas Manton, Presbyterian preacher, wrote 119 different sermons all based on the 119th Psalm . . . It should not be forgotten that John Howard Payne, the man who wrote "Home, Sweet Home," w born in New York City. Old Neighborhood New Yorker says he was born and brought up in the Cherry Hill section of Manhattan. That is down by the Brooklyn Bridge, around Franklin Square. Is one of Manhattan's most celebrated "old neighborhoods." Was the locale of such popular songs of the yesteryear as "The Old Neighborhood," "Sunshine of Paradise Alley," "Maggie Mur phy's Home" and "The Side walks of New York." So They Say The lucky number of Aries (March 21-April 20) people is nine. The way to win the af fectionate regard of a Taurus (April 2.1-May 21) female is to sweep her off her feet. Don't waste any time on a build up. A Sagittarius man (November 23-December 22) favors a girl who is hard to get. A young woman who permits a man born under that sign to kiss her on the first date is making a grave error. Even on the second date the girl should struggle a little. Or, so say the stargazers. Unexpectant Mother "Expectant" mothers are nu merous. How about "unexpect ant mothers?" As for example, a 39 year old resident of Michi gan who suddenly and unexpect edly gave birth to child and told the physician, "I had no idea I was going to have a baby." Her husband didn't ex pect the approach of a blessed event either. Must have been quite a surprise party for him. Wonder how he felt when his wife phoned him at the office and said, "Hurry home, honey, I've just had a baby?" Guess he didn't faint but he must have staggered a little.

Nixon Flies To Mexico On Good Will Junket Havana (U.R) Vice-president, Richard M. Nixon flies today to Mexico on the second leg of his 7,500-mile goodwill tour of Latin America and the Caribbean. Cuba was the first stop on Nixon's tour which takes him to 10 Latin American countries and two U. S. Caribbean possessions. He arrived in Havana Sunday from Washington. Nixon predicted a "new era of progress and prosperity" for Cuba in an extemporaneous address to the Cuban Congress on the eve of his departure. The packed chamber accorded him a long ovation as he concluded by saymg: "In the years ahead the his toric ties between our nation will bring us nearer because to gether there is nothing we can not do, there is no enemy we need fear. Wednesday, February 9, 1955 m.m R.JJx Of YMCA Board of Directors i i r?- 1 ymrymp'- V v AMVPIE'WITH KITCHEN CRAFT m.mnpost piQUR McKay Agrees To Liberalize Program Of O&C Logging By A. ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Correspondent Washington Secretary of In terior Douglas McKay is confi dent his department will be able to revise O&C logging road right-of-way regulations that will be "reasonably satisfac tory" to both large and small timber operators who are at odds owr the regulations. McKay said in an interview that the Bureau of Land Man agement is now in the process of " reviewing recommended changes in the existing regula tions which were proposed by the O&C Advisory Board in Oregon last month. The Senate Interior Committee, upon re quest of Sen. Richard L. Neu berger (D-Ore.), has asked Mc Kay to defer final action on the new regulations until the sub committee on public lands can review them. Neuberger is a member of that subcommittee. Department 'Open Door' "We are anxious to get the best possible regulations," Mc Kay said, adding that he was perfectly willing to have Con gress "investigate anything they want in my department it's an open door." Neuberger charged that the proposed changes, which have not Ibeen made public here, would "abandon the require ment of reciprocal road-use agreements as a condition prece dent to granting right-of-way and road use permits," and that this would "seriously weaken the policy of facilitating compe tition for federal timber." Both McKay and BLM offic ials indicated the requirement of reciprocal road-use agree ments would not be abandoned in the final revision of regula tions. Two BLM "officials from the Portland area office spent last week here working over the proposed regulations, making certain changes. tne official told this reporter the reciprocal road-use clause will not be dropped. McKay said: "We are responsible to the taxpayers to get the most we can for the federal timber, so we need access to it." .The proposed changes were drafted by a subcommittee of the O&C Advisory Board, ap proved after wrangling within the board by an 8-4 vote and submitted to BLM last month. BLM is under no legal or admin istrative obligation to act on the recommendations, but it is the declared intent of the Interior Department to do so. "There were things in the recommendations that the de partment could not go for," an official said, explaining that BLM has already revised them and sent them back to members of the 18-man O&C Advisory Board for comment. One proposed change which BLM is understood to go along with would be to require all users of private access roads to pay a rental charge to the owner. Under existing regula tions, only the cost of amortiz ing the construction cost of the road may be charged, after which a nominal fee for main tenance is permissable. . Neuberger said his opposition to the recommended changes was based on a fear that com petition would be reduced in O&C timber sales to the dis advantage of small loggers. A BLM official said "the es sential policy is that competi tion must be facilitated" and that this policy would not be changed. He said a major diffi culty with' existing regulations is that they are so worded as to cause differences even among lawyers about their intent and proper meaning. "We want them put in every day language that anyone can understand," he added. BLM Administrator Edward Woozley is understood to favor publishing the proposed new regulations, after McKay has approved them, and permitting a nominal time for the filing of any protests before they are actually put into force. But officials said this would not likely occur "for some time." House Bill Terminates Vet Educational Aid Salem (U.R) The Oregon House yesterday passed a meas ure terminating-the date, for the state's program of educational aid to World War II veterans at Dec. 31, 1956.

For Rotary Club New discoveries from the la boratories of industry were de scribed and demonstrated be-, fore the Medford Rotary club Tuesday at the Jackson hotel in a presentation of the General Motors "Review of Progress." Mike Morrison and Robert Gregory of General Motors re search division, equipped with miniature models of micro wave pick-up towers, a small jet en gine, chemicals and other equip ment, gave a brief insight into a future "amazing beyond be lief." : The progress in electronics from Thomas Edison's phono graph, a model of which was demonstrated, to present sound equipment made possible through the discovery of the vacuum tube and microphone, was shown. The scientific prin ciple of jet propulsion has been known for 2,000 years but ap plication to modern-day jet and turbo-jet engines now used on land, sea and in the air was not realized until the science of metalurgy was further ad vanced,' Morrison told Rotarians. A small jet engine with but four pounds thrust developed amazing power in -the demon stration. Modern jet engines in use can develop up to 10,000 pounds thrust. General Motors laboratories are now working with jet pro pulsion engines for future auto mobile, bus and truck use. The GM model XP-21 and the tur- bocruiser are now undergoing tests.
