A Nichol's Worth of . . . Comment On This and That By HARMAN W. NICHOLS United Press Feature Writer Washington U.R) A lot of doctors have worked their way through college. But name me a lady doctor w h o h a s turned t h e trick by sell ing oligochaet tous of the genus Lum bricus. Translated, those t w o tongue - twist ers add up to the lowly earth worm, Harman Nichols referred to on the waterfront as the fish or, wiggle worm, and sometimes as night crawlers..

Grants Pass, Oregon -227 S.E. 6th ladies who are in the business of producing better worms, and the wigglers are helping to fur ther their education. Pamelia Leech of Chevy Chase, Md., and Margaret Lu cille Lambert of Arlington, Va., both are juniors at the George Washington University Medical School here. The two friends are not in partnership, exactly. The whole thing began like this: Small-Scale Start Pamelia heard that a couple in the area had a basement full of worms and planned to go out of business. She also learned the entire stock had a potential in come of $12,000 a year, a sum which would buy a lot of medi cal books and x number of scalpels. She couldn't afford the whole lot, but she bought 1000 for $10. At first she bedded her in vestment down in a barrelful of the good earth in her moth er's basement. Soon, with little worms com ing along at a mad rate, as little worms do, the family outgrew its "home," so Palmelia had a five-foot , square aluminum pit planted: in the back yard. She filled this with equal parts of clay, grass clippings and waste. "Before I knew it," she said, "the word got around and orders started coming in. I charge a penny a worm." "I have about 10,000 -worms now," she said, "maybe more. They are kind of hard to count. They aren't much trouble, though, and my expenses are very low." An earthworm, according to expert Margaret, travels only about three feet in a lifetime. "And they double their num- Court Records POLICE COURT William H. Bayley, Dean Wesley Allen.

You start with a thousand worms and in 30 days you've got 2000; and that goes on every month." Who on earth would pay money for an earth worm? Well, Margaret and Pamelia have learned that a lot of people will, Fishing lodges buy a lot, but the best business is with gardeners. "The small farmer has learned the value of having worms around the place," Margaret said. A worm is bound to turn, and while turning he perforates the soil, giving the earth a needed breath of air. Worms, -of the wiggle type, also fertilize the soil, hasten decay and turn the ground over. Bills in Legislature Salem U.R) Members of the legislative Ways and Means Sub committee on salaries indicate they would favor making retire ment benefit contributions on the first $600 of salary of ah employee in the state retirement system optional, in face of union labor opposition to the exemp tion. Union representatives said they favored contribution on the entire salary of an employee. Rep. Orval Eaton (R-Astoria), chairman of the subcommittee, Sens. George Ultett (R-Coquille) and John C. F. Merrifield (R Portland) and Rep. V. T. Jack son (D-Roseburg) all inclined to the belief that it would be a mis take to force employees to pay on the $600 of salary. Eaton said "I made an exten sive survey of state departments and found that the young state employees were not interested in retirement benefits. What they are interested in is having money to pay for a home, and to meet the cost of the necessities of life. They want the largest take-home pay possible." Leo Butts, executive secretary of the AFL State Workers Coun cil, told the committee the origi nal concept of social security was to force employees to save money "so that when he reached age 65 he would have enough money on which to retire and then can be replaced by a more productive worker." Salem (U.R) The Oregon Senate had only one bill up for final action yesterday and that one concerned one dollar. But it brought forth a half hour's volley of debate before it finally passed with 13 dissenting votes. Senate Bill 81 was the focus of attention. It would increase the fee from $2 a year to $3 for shopkeepers' permits to sell minor drugs and remedies. The State Board of Pharmacy asked the increase so it could hire an extra inspector to police the places selling these drugs. Sen. Pat Lonergan, (R-Portland), who spoke for the bill, said there were 6,250 such shop keepers taverns, grocery stores and other outlets selling these minor drugs and remedies and said the extra money would pay for an extra inspector. Sen. John Hounsell (R-Hood Hurricanes to Keep Feminine Names Washington (U.R) The Weather Bureau has announced that it will continue throughout 1955 its controversial system of using girl's names to identify hurricanes. With a single exception, all of the names to be used in al phabetical order this year will be different from those on the 1954 list. A spokesman said the bureau got at least as many letters from women who were delighted to have their names used as from those who resented the associa tion with high winds. fast place i& town i-- Tate YO choice w - , Take YO cWic w - or 8PringYarao " X -LULLUCC All your money tack on any item fiat doesn't please you ... and avocados ' are jutt one of the inviting fresh fruits and vegetables featured this week in the Parade at Safeway River) said the Board of Phar macy has a $33,000 reserve left over from the last biennium, and he said that should be suffi cient to hire the extra inspector. He suggested the proper time to ask for more license money would be in the 1957 session, if the board of pharmacy found itself near the "flat broke" stage then. Salem U.R) A bill which would make it illegal to carry loaded firearms in automobiles is meeting surprisingly strong opposition, according to Sen. Charles Bingner, La Grande Re publican, one of the measure's sponsors. Letters protesting the bill have come from all over the state, Bingner said, but about 60 per cent of them were from western Oregon. He said the amount of mail prompted by the measure has been heavy. Salem (U.R) Gov. Paul L. Patterson has signed into law a Senate measure to return to Fallin Post No. 123 of the Amer ican Legion, Douglas county real property it had sold to the state for $10 for use as an ar mory site. The property was conveyed to the state May 7, 1949. The Ore gon National Guard erected a quonset hut there, but the ONG company which used the prem ises has long been disbanded. So under terms of the act, the state of Oregon will sell the property back to the post for the same sum $10. Tuesday.
