This change of heart is part of the new Winters pro gram to be more mature . Aline Mosby and conserva tive and not to discuss her pri vate life- - Personally I liked " the old Shelley, but the new cfne has her interesting points. And the old version still peeps through. "I get very bored when I go out with young muscles," declared the vivacious blonde as she prepared for wardrobe tests for her new Warner pic ture, "The Jagged Edge." "The men I find attractive now are men who are intellec tually stimulating, who sound mature. , . 4-H Club News Howard 4-H Cookintr Club ?

"Many of them," she added, "are physically attractive, too, but their physical appearance has nothing to do with my list, Shelley paused to stare at her famous face, part of her stock in trade, in the mirror over her dressing room table. She touched up her make-up while the make-up woman hovered uselessly in the background (Shelley knows what she wants) and rummaged in a hat box fill ed with odds and ends for some jewelry (she is not super-neat). "I'm getting old, I guess," she continued, "but it seems to me the most attractive thing in a man is that he knows his job well, be he a director, painter or plumber. It's that assurance that projects in a person and makes him attractive. "George Stevens, for exam ple, is very professional, , and most attractive." This is a stroke of diplomacy since director Stevens is casting for his forthcoming film, "Giant," and Shelley would frankly give a mink coat for the part. "I'd put Marlon Brando on my list of most attractive men, too," she added. "And Prince Phillip. When I was in England working on 'I Am a Camera' the Prince and I, had a conversation about motors." Shelley's list also Includes film composer Franz Waxman, Adlai Stevenson, actor-director Charles Laughton "very poetic" and director Nick Ray, her cur rent escort "very fine director, very adept at discussion on any subject." t ' Shelley a few years ago sip ped coffee at Schwab's drug store and wisecracked in her Brooklyn accent, but recently she and Ray dined with play wright Tennessee Williams. "We discussed good manners and came to the conclusion that good manners are the essence of democracy," the new, intel lectual Shelley said. I pointed out she had only two actors on her list. What about Robert Mitchum, whom she often champions? "Oh, he's too immature," she said. Offshore Fishing Plan Gets Study Salem (U.R) A nroDOsed resolution to set up an interim committee to study offshore fish ing regulations was ready for introduction in the House here Saturday by the Fish and Game Committee. The interim committee would attempt to reach an accord with Washington, California, Canada, and Alaska regarding fishing practices beyond the three-mile limit on the high seas where thousands of young salmon are taken annually before they can enter coastal streams to spawn. , Though the matter is an inter national one involving both Japan and Russia, the commit tee agreed the situation was of sufficient urgency to the state's fishing industry to justify intro ducing tne resolutions for further consideration. There was no im mediate estimate of the cost of the interim committee. The committee set Thursdav. Feb. 17, for public hearing on two controversial bills one to outlaw f ishing derbies and the other to set speed limits on power boats on certain lakes. The hearings will be held . at RENT A New PIANO or ORGAN On A RentaS-Sales Plan You may rent a new Baldwin or Wurlitzer Piano or a Hammond Chord or Spinet Organ for at long as fix months and have the rental apply on the purchase of the instrument if you so desire. PURUCKER PIANO HOUSE son of Lord Halifax and member of parliament, said Friday the United States is "faced with an absolute brick wall" in Formosa, but would be wrong to give way. "There is no conceivable solu tion to the problem of Formosa at present," he told a news con ference in San Francisco, "but there may come a day when propaganda is not the main pur pose (of the Communists) and some sort of settlement is." Later Wood addressed a Commonwealth Club luncheon as part of his British Informa tion Service tour to urge co operation, discuss Anglo-American differences, and observe American opinion. The principal difference, he said, is over Britain's diplomat ic recognition of Red China which he explained resulted from Britain's acceptance of the "very unpleasant fact", that the Reds rule the China mainland. Woods, who lost both legs in a war-time battle near Tripoli, said the U.S. and Britain should not let their differences get "out of proportion" to their vastly greater mutual aims. He described U.S. leadership in the world as "absolutely indispensable." in the Friday night wreck. 40 Get Hospital Treatment Forty passengers were hospit alized or treated and released at Alexandria and Sauk Center. In addition, one rescue worker required treatment for an in jury suffered at the scene. "The people showed no hys teria," said Ercal Aga, part own er of radio station KXRA at Alexandria. Other witnesses said the pas sengers were "surprisingly calm" as firemen, doctors and others removed the injured. Cold Blamed The train, which left Seattle for Chicago Wednesday night, was carrying 190 coach and Pullman passengers. The acci dent came when a rail snapped, apparently because of the severe cold. Some cars came to rest nearly 100 feet from the tracks. Four were on their sides in a snowy field and seven others were derailed. Passengers who stopped in the Twin Cities early Friday said there was a jolt and they felt as if they were "floating" down the embankment. They said "no one panicked." 46 Kiwanians, Wives At Kaoers Rehearsal Forty-six Medford Kiwanians and their wives were on hand for a Friday night rehearsal at the senior high school for the annual Kiwanis Kapers. The club members . and their ladies make up the second act singing chorus for the musical production, but ' form only a small portion of the cast which will present "Tel-A-Version" at the high school auditorium on Feb. 23, 24, 25 and 26. First act talent has been recruited from both within and outside the Ki wanis club. To Be Different Second act presentation will differ from past shows in that there are no black-faced end men or clowns. The act will be Telecast Review" in the . Fred Waring manner. There will be specialties along with the choral work. Sally Champlin, vocalist in past Kapers, is featured again this year. , Don Hansen, Lassen Theatri cal productions, Hollywood, Calif., advance director has been turning in both day and night duty, putting the show togeth er for Randy LaFerr, director for the same firm. LaFerr is to arrive in town next Wednesday and will put the finishing touch es on the production. Take-Off Theme I Take-offs from various TV programs provide the theme for the Kapers arid there will be a variety of scenes in the first act with dance chorus routines, songs and skits. The show is the big activity each year for Medford Kiwanis club. Funds are used for surgi cal and medical and dental as sistance, food and clothing and other help for needy young sters. Tickets are on sale now at many stores where there are Ki wanis members. Cards in the windows of the firms indicate where the tickets are available. The broken rail "curled up like a pretzel," under the weight of the engine an eyewitness said. The engine rolled a quarter mile dowl the roadbed although it was partially derailed. Ercal Aga,' of Alexandria, said Nixon's Goodwill Tour Said Success; Leaves Mexico City Mexico City (U.R) Vice President Richard M. Nixon left Mexico City by plane for Guate mala Saturday on the third leg of his month-long goodwill tour of Central American and the Caribbean. Before leaving, Nixon talked to reporters at a press conf err ence in the U.S. Embassy. Nixon described Mexico as politically "mature and stable" and an eco nomically "awakening giant." Good Relations Important He said that President Eisen hower "thinks there is no more important objective of U.S. for eign policy than good relations between Mexico and the United States." Nixon praised Mexico's Presi dent Adolfo Ruiz Cortines as "one of the greatest national leaders of this age," and credited his leadership for the political and economic progress of this country in recent years. Visit Successful Observers agreed that Nixons three-day visit to Mexico was highly successful. He won the acclaim of the public and press for his informality. His willing ness to chat and shake hands with anyone delighted ! and amazed Mexicans. Guatemala is the third stop of Nixon's 7500-mile goodwill tour. Cuba was his first. On the eve of his departure, Nixon conferred for two hours with Mexican President Adolf Ruiz Cortines at the U.S. Env bassy. Details of the conversa tions, their third, were not dis closed. South African Police Nab Eight for Spreading Strike Johannesburg, South Africa (U.R) Police arrested eight Negroes Saturday for trying to spread a protest strike against the removal of 60,000 natives from a Johannesburg "white dis trict" under the government seg regation policy. Call Said Flop ' Police Commissioner P. Grob ler said the strike call was a flop. The strike was called for Saturday when additional fam ilies were to have been removed from their Sophiatown settle ment in Johannesburg to the government-sponsored Meadow lands project further out of town. But the government announced no families were being moved Saturday and that the next mass removal was to come next Satur day. 50,000 To Be Moved The evacuation plan calls for the removal of 50,000 to 60,000 natives from Sophiatown, now classed as a "white area," to Meadowlands, a' native suburb. Unofficial estimates Wednesday said nearly a third of the natives scheduled for removal that day failed to show up at the govern ment trucks sent to take them away, The evacuation was carried out under protection of 2000 police armed with machmeguns.

U.R) A washout caused by a driving rainstorm derailed three cars of the six car Boston-to-Bangor ex press Friday night and sent them sliding down a 60 foot embankment but all 114 persons aboard escaped death or serious injury in a "miracle."

Mapes said that "only a miracle" prevented the en tire train from tumbling1 down the grade into the swirling Ken nebec river.
