Service Girls
Given Free
Beauty Tips
By CLAIRE COX
United Press Correspondent
' New York (U.R) The na
tion's 40.000 service women are
getting free mail order beauty
lesson, thanks to socialite Mrs.
John Hay Whitney and the toilet
goods industry'.
' Mrs. Whitney, one of the beau
tiful former Cushing sisters of
Boston now married to million
aire - sportsman - philanthropist
Jock Whitney, decided nearly
three years ago that the girls in
uniform needed some sprucing
up.
' She and WAC Maj. Evelyn
Blewett went to see S. L. May
ham, executive vice-president of
the Toilet Goods association, and
asked him to do something
about it. He did.
Guides to good grooming for
women in the armed forces have
been sent to 80 installations
around the world with the bless
ings of the Defense Department.
Aching Feet Remedied
The 40-page booklet contains
detailed instructions on how to
lose or gain weight and how to
exercise. There are chapters on
cleanliness, the care of the hair
and skin and, perhaps most im
portant of all, what to do about
urea, aching feet (massage them
with cold cream every night).
There is. a whole section de
voted to the best way to brush
teeth, .with diagrams, and girls
with delicate skin are advised
to bleach their freckles with hy
drogen peroxide.
Mayham said negotiations with
the Defense Department on what
should or should not go into the
booklet often came close to be
ing a comedy of errors.
This was especially true, he
said, when beauty expert Myra
fi. CorTklin, author of the book
let, included a chapter on baths
and how to take them. She went
into a long discussion of how to
use bath salts, bath oils and vari
ous other toilet goods.
"We were brought up a bit
short," Mayham said, "when the
Defense Department told us
there is only one post in the
United States with anything ex
cept showers.
That meant Miss Conklin had
to devote more space to how to
take a shower (not too hot, not
too -cold and never right after
a meal).
"The Defense Department did
not see the need of bringing per
fume to the attention of the
gals," Mayham said. "The im
plication was that soldiers aren't
sissies, not even when they are
girls. But I insisted and perfume
stayed."

Table Rock Mrs. Emma
Houston of Kanes creek was a
Sunday dinner guest at the R. E.
Nealon home.
Maxie. the big boxer dog be
longing to the Dick Reum fam
ily, was hit and killed by a coun
ty gravel truck last Tuesday
while the family was away from
home. The dog was getting a
drink in the ditch along the side
of the road and suddenly sprang
out directly in front of the
truck, according to the driver
who reported the accident at the
Table Rock store.
J. S. Richardson, who is
usually the first farmer in the
district to have sweet corn
ready for the table reports that
china pheasants are pulling up
his first planting, which is just
now getting out of the ground.
The birds presumably are some
of the large number of incuba
tor-grown pheasants turned
loose near here last fall by the
game commission and said to be
much more destructive to farm
crops than those grown natural
ly. The state game commission
the past few years has lost favor
here among farmers, owing to
the methods used in handling
game and disrespect to the rights
of land owners.
At the present time the state
tax commission is getting a lot
of criticism from many of the
local farmers for the recent clas
sification of farm lands and
buildings and the raise in as
sessed valuation. It is claimed
by some that their poorest land
is appraised for more than their
best and vice versa, that irri
gated land is appraised far too
high and no provision is made
for farms located many miles
away from markets.
According to reports from
farmers who claim they have
investigated, the cash value
which is the basis for the assess
ment for taxation purposes is
more or less guess work with
no definite nor set rule for find
ing the net worth. Some claim
that setting the 25 per cent of
cash value was done to conform
with the set rate on utilities,
which are allowed to depreci
ate each year and are also al
lowed by the utility commission
to increase their rates to consum
ers when taxes get beyond their
liking. It seems the farmers
have never been in a position to
do this.
R. M. Harrison and L. W.
Monroe, wheat reporters for the
U.S. department of agriculture,
were here Tuesday and looked
over our two acre allotment and
thought we might be two or
three stalks short of our quota.
Miss Lucile Smith, deputy
county clerk working in the dist
rict court, accompanied by Miss
Doreen Straus, also a clerk in
the same office, visited the dist
rict court at Roseburg one day
last week to observe methods of
bookkeeping and perhaps get
some ideas that might increase
the efficiency of the local office.

New Paper Cups Given
Thin Plastic Coating
New York (U.R) You can
dodge that familiar "soggy
paper" tasie now when drinking
coffee from paper cups.
A firm that makes containers
for the food industry has come
up with what it calls "a com
pletely taste-free" paper cup for
coffee.
The secret lies in a super-thin
coat of plastic on the cup. This
finish on the . Plastic-Cup pre
vents the paper from absorbing
hoi liquids, thus preserving the
true flavor cf the beverage.
the following Sunday the bill
fold had been returned to the
same seat, minus the S5 bill. It
could have been done by some
one breaking in through a back
window, which way of entrance
some seem to prefer to getting
a" key and going in through the
door. Let's hope the guilty one
will see his error, make things
right with the owner and his
own conscience and try to get a
little better acquainted with the
ten commandments, especially
the eighth. And while we're on
the subject, lets have no more
going in through the window.
The penalty for this, which is
called house breaking, is quite
severe.
George Boyce of Medford, an
engineer for the soil conserva
tion service, has been assisting
farmers here in land leveling
operations.
Mrs. Arthur Doty reports
that her son-in-law, Delmar
Doley, at present an ag teacher
in the Lakeview High school,
has been offered his choice of
two positions by the Near East
Foundation, one in Iran and the
other in the Philippine Islands.
He has about decided to take the
one in Iran and leave for that
place in the near future for a
two year term. Mrs. Dooley will
remain here with her home
folks until her husband gets
established and makes arrange
ments for a home.
Friends here of John Heber
ling of San Jose, Calif., have re
ceived invitation to attend his
graduation at the San Jose Bible
college on May 27, and also invi
tations to attend his wedding on
May 30 at the Church of Christ
in San Jose.
Roy Baker, commercial weed

Lester, one of the Sams Valley
James brothers, is now being
called Davey Crockett by his
neighbors since his shotgun slay
ing of a big black bear within a
few feet of his house. It seems
that shortly after- going to bed
Friday night he was awakened
by the barking of the family
dog, and going out in his paja
mas carrying a flashlight, he dis
covered a big black bear in a
tree in the back yard, so hurried
back into the house and got. the
shotgun, loading both barrels
and taking two extra shells in
his hand just in case the two
shots failed to kill, or he missed,
and the bear got down. He
didn't want to be trying to get
the shells out of his pocket
while on the run. The double
barrel blast brought the bear
down, and another shot at close
range finished him.
Lester formerly lived in L.A.,
and this was his first encounter
with a bear, but his neighbors
say he is very resourceful and
always willing to go more than
half way in solving his problems.
As an example, this spring when
the weather failed to fill his irri
gation reservoir, he got busy

Arrange Utensils
For Kitchen Efficiency
Madison, Wis. (U.R) You
can have an up-to-the-minute
kitchen and still work as hard
preparing meals as our grand
mothers did.
Kitchen efficiency depends in
part on arrangement of utensils
ana supplies, says Margaret Mc
Cordic, home management spec
ialist, the- University of Wiscon
sin. She recommends you make a
list of what items you have in
the mixing, cooking and clean
ing areas of your kitchen. Then
store away the things you don't
use frequently.
Watch the number of times
jou move one area to another
to get a spoon, spatula, cup of
flour, mixing bowl, or other
items. If you are taking too
many steps, put sets of utensils
in each working center of the
kitchen.
If you can't get at dishes,
bowls or baking pans without
urstacking others, you need bet
ter storage space. She says it's
easy to divide drawers into a
file that will separate pans or
covers. Beiween the shelves of
cabinets you can attach half
shelves about six or eight inches
wide to give extra space. Metal
