The popular sohg "April In Paris" has inspired many Amer icans to plan to get to the French capital in the very early spring. April is not a pleasant month in Paris. It is usually quite damp and chilly there at that time. When Vernon Duke and E. Y. Ilarburg wrote the song "April In Paris'" neither had ever been to Paris in April. In fact, Har burg had never been to Paris at all. The best months in Paris are May, June and October. Asking Queries from clients: Q. Where and how did Lena Home begin her singing career? A. Lena started as a chorus girl in the Cotton Club in Harlem. She was 16 at the time. Q. Has the Biblical tale of the Prodigal Son ever been -dramatized for the le gitimate stage? A. Yes, sir. The successful play of the yesteryear titled "The Wanderer" was based on the Biblical story you refer to. Q What is the longest high way in the United States?. A. That would be U.S. Highway No. 6, known as the Grand Army of the Republic Highway, which runs from Provincetown, Mass., to Long Beach, Calif., a distance of 3,652 miles. Asides A Los Angeles blonde named Beverly Nin O Malley has been marripri and divorced thirteen times. If that isn't the world's record for divorces, what is? . . . The Argentine Republic has an anti-tipping law. You can be ar rested for giving a tip there or taking one. Some sections of the United States have had anti-tip ping legislation but it lias never been successfully enforced. Brides At French weddings the bride doesn't toss out a bouquet. She throws a earter. The superstition is that the bachelorette who catches the earter will be mar ried within a year. An interest ing idea. An American young couple wishing a wedding cere mony somewhat unusual could have the bride dressed in blue. The marriage proph ecy says, dressed -in blue your lover will be true." The bridesmaids could be dressed in red. Then, as the gown would cover the "something blue" re quirement for the bride's attire, he could wear a red garter. Then she could toss out the red garter for the bachelorettes pres ent to try to catch. Get It Right Am. asking who played Cap tain Hook in the original silent film version of J. M.

(U.R) Authori ties are holding two men in lieu of $2500 bail each for investiga tion into the $250 armed robbery of Ben Treece of Eureka. Superior Judge Donald H. Wil kinson ordered Ray Miller, 48, Eureka, and Ray Upshaw, 35, Portland, Ore., held when they appeared before him yesterday. Authorities said they are sus pected of robbing Treece near Fields Landing Tuesday after he accepted a ride with them to Fortuna. Eagle Point Eagle Point At the Trail Riders' breakfast atop Roxy Ann Sunday morning, April 3, there was a surprise reunion of two childhood friends who hadn't seen each other for 35 years. The principals were Sher iff George Hodge of Princeton, 111., who was a guest of Sheriff Howard Gault of Jackson coun ty, and Clyde Bunker of Crater Lake highway north of Eagle Point. Sheriff Hodge and Mr. Bunker attended the same schools in Princeton, and had lost track of each other after growing up, and going separate ways, until the complete sur prise meeting atop Roxy Ann, the memory of which will, no doubt, remain with them for many more years. Mrs. Orvil Henderson and her sister Mrs. S. F. Smith, Eagle Point, drove to Ashland April 5 for a visit with their brother and wife Mr, and Mrs. J. A. Ferren. Mrs. Augusta Perry left April 3 by bus for Eugene, where she will spend a week with her sis ter, and husband, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Wendt. Pfc Dave Cox, who was re cently discharged from the Army at Camp Lewis, Wash., after serving his two years enlistment term has returned with his fam ily to their home here. Mr. and Mrs. John Hoist of Gold Hill were in Eagle Point Wednesday afternoon. Mrs. Hoist attended Garden club at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Otto Nagel. Mr. and Mrs. Roy Ashpole are having the old garage adjacent to their house torn down, and will start building a new two car garage soon.

Humphrey in the early winter of 1954. The Roseland Lincoln-Mercury company of Thomasville provided the Chief Executive with a fine and gleaming ve hicle during his stay. Shortly after Mr. Eisenhower departed from Thomasville the following ad appeared in the local paper: "George Washington slept here. ' "Sorry, we mean that Ike used this beautiful Lincoln automo bile during his stay in Thomas ville and now you can own this presidential beauty at a substan- Utah Airstrip' Most Isolated Hanksville, Utah (U.R) A leading candidate for 'the most isolated airways station in the continental United States is the Civil Aeronautics Authority auxiliary landing field and com munications station at Hanks ville. . And well it might. Hanksville is just about as far as you can get from anywhere in the coun try and still be just about no where. Hundreds of aerial travelers pass over or around it daily, but few usually just the crews of the airliners, the air freighters and the military craft know it's there. Those passengers who ' do know of its existence include several planeloads who directly owe their lives to the fact that the field is in operation. Plana Lost Altitude Like the more than 50 per sons aboard a big commercial airliner flying the Los Angeles Chicago direct line route in August, 1951. Fire broke out in one motor. The plane was losing altitude. One in the barren wastelands of southeastern Utah, with its cedar-covered mesas, deep can yons and high cliffs, there are few places a big plane might set down safely. But the pilot of the craft knew that Hanksville was there. He made it to the emergency fieid, set down quickly on the long graded runways, and all was well. The passengers piled out and remained on the field until spare planes came along to pick them up for the rest of their trip. The log kept by Jack Dalton, NEW TELEPHONE NUMBER! E. M. Hanawalt, D.V.M.

This interesting item about the Eisenhower Lincoln comes to light somewhat late but it does point up a strange situation. In a lot of towns visited by the President, the borrowed cars actually retail for more than the normal list price after he de parts. Al Lansing, writing in the cur rent Collier's Magazine about Mr. Eisenhower's fishing, quotes one of the President's old Den ver buddies, Aksel Nielsen, as saying "Ike likes fishing better than golf." This will come as a distinct shock to Ed Dudley, the golf professional at the Augusta Na tional Golf Club.

Countless others reached their destinations safely because of radio signals sent out by Dalton and his crew, who man an intri cate radio center 24 hours a day, seven days a week. . Most of the time their opera tion is routine sending out weather information, giving po sitions and helping with chang es in flight plans. But the emergencies are the things that "make it pay off," ac cording to Claud Gardner, for merly of Los Angeles aid Hono lulu who recently "and volun tarily, too" transferred to the field. In between shifts, Dalton, Gardner,. R. J. Cook and Earl Bracy, the radio operators, spend their time hunting and fishing when the weather per mits, or prospecting for urani um. On these spare-time proj ects, they frequently are joined by Earl Dounahay, staff electri cian, and Ernest Shirley, air ways maintenance technician. Near Uranium Mine Hanksville, about 200 "miles southeast of Salt Lake City, is only a few miles from the fabu lous uranium mine that pros pector Vernon Pick recently sold to financier Floyd Odium for more than $9,000,000. Until recently, the roads into Hanksville from Green River to the north, Richfield to the west and Blanding to the southeast, all more than 50 miles away, were impassable in bad weather: By Jimmy Hatlo me buys a paper 1 EVERY MORMIMG.BUT LIVES X NEVER SEE HIM 6ET A CHANCE TO IS THE read rr PLACE near TWEYOUGUTA BRING THE KIDS .LET THE WHOLE FAMILY IN ON .TME BATTLES- Listening to the w0rwns couple wmo carry twe family BATTLE ON TOTUE wAvX Aho A tip ae tub V HAllP MAT TO s7 tJjpS MOODY, the Lincoln rather play the tough Augusta National Course than fish in the small bass pond which the club installed near the President's cabin'. At any rale, the President will put the Nielsen and Lansing theory to a severe test next week when he arrives at the club for his usual spring visit. Surest bet: The President will play golf at Augusta before he tries fishing. The Tamarisk Country' Club at Palm Springs, Calif., is mailing to friends small mirrors which indicate how proud the Southern Calif ornians were to have the Eisenhowers visit them last year. On one side of the mirror is a picture of a palm tree with a small sign at the base proclaim ing it as "Ike's Tree." This was the tree wnere a bad presidential iron shot nestled at the base of the palm and he shot out of this bad lie with an eight iron blow. The other side of the mirror is blank except for a line at the bottom, "I Like Ike." ,lL- - "Well, 1 don't set any figure in-there that looks like my little checking account!" "The reason for that is that you and thousands of other people in Oregon put your cheeking and savings accounts together at First National. This statement shows them all as one big figure.

Bank Holdup Clues Hint Inside Job New York U.R) The po lice and FBI checked clues to day pointing to "an inside job" in the biggest bank robbery in U. S. history executed with the same -cool wizardry of the no torious Willie "The Actor" Sut ton. Three folksy robbers and may be more, escaped with $303,243 from the Woodside, Queens, branch of the Chase Manhattan Bank Wednesday. ' Armed with a submachinegun the robbers kidnaped a clerk near his home, called him by his first name, and waited for three more persons including two women and forced their way into the unguarded, alarm less bank building. After locking 11 persons in the bank vault, the methodical ban dits disappeared into a morning subway crowd. Well Planned Job The display of quietly effic ient skill was reminiscent of the technique of Sutton, generaly ac knowledged as one of the most cunning of modern bank robbers. Sutton, now serving 30 years in Attica State Prison, N.Y. es timated in his autobiography written in prison that he had stolen more than $2,000,000 from banks and other compan ies during his 20-year "career." The robbery Wednescay was the sixth bank stickup in the New York metropolitan area in 30 days. The "master job" which one robber confided to a victim was the result of six months" cas ing, began when Clerk Henry Bardenhagen was getting into his car at his home in Sunny side, Queens. Bandits New Names Jabbing something in Barden hagen's back, one of the rob bers said pleasantly, "Okay Hen ry, get in the back." Two other robbers then got in the front seat of the car. At the bank, after a leisurely drive, the gunman sighted M. William Downing, of Valley Stream, with Mrs. Eleanor Mino gue, a real estate company em people who needed more cash than they could save up at one time. We are also financing our home through First National, so we have two places in the 'Loans' figure." "My goodness! We certainly get around in a bank statement!" "No scoffing, please. We'je not the only ones who show up in a bank statement. Practically everybody does. When First National says, 'Let's Build Oregon Together,' they're talking a'bout you and me and our bank. And that's what we're doing. We're putting cars on the road, building houses... we're building Oregon every day!" II I I J f MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE SEVEW ployee. A gunman ordered, "get out or I'll blow your brains out" and Downing and Mrs. Minogue got out of the car. A fourth employee, Mrs. Dor othy Haas, a secretary, of Wood side, came along. "Why, there's Dorothy," said one of the rob bers. With their prisoners the rob bers then unlocked the bank door with Bardenhagen's key. Inside were six other employees. And in plain view was the more than $300,000 in bills ranging in denomination from $1 to $100. The loot was dumped into a 2-by-3 -foot white canvas bag bearing the imprint, "Federal Reserve Bank." They fled in a light blue convertible. The whole job took less than eight minutes.
