How blessed is he that mar live and die So loved, so blessed in my beloved am I. Ompion Campion. There is an excess of grim airwave dramas dealing with people with "problems." The star of this kind of playlet is usually one of those soap op era Bernhardts who hams it all over the set. Therefore, it is re freshing to have an opportunity to view some well acted playlets packing plenty of laughs, and including an occasional tear, such as offered by the Damon Runyon Theater. I can hardly wait from one week to another to see these highly amusing pieces. Down Under Australians are the world's greatest meat eaters. You can travel thousands of miles in Australia and never find a vege tarian. The Australian life ex pectancy is 65 years. This is one year more than that the resi dents of the United States. So don't let any vegetarian make you believe an enthusiasm for steak and roast beef will shorten your life. Please Not. The major league home run situation is ridiculous. While the moronic type of fan screams in childish delight when a ball is hit into the stands, an intelligent sports enthusiast can only find it depressing. This is especially true in New York. At the' Polo Grounds, it is only 258 feet from the home plate to the right field stands. To the left field stands is only 22 feet farther. At the Yankee Stadium it is 296 feet to the right field, 301 to the left. And the ball is getting livelier every year. Asking Queries from clients. Q. Where do you say the orange origi nated? A. The orange originated in China and was introduced into Spain by the Portuguese. The Spaniards introduced the orange to this country in Florida . . . Q. Did the ringman known as "Knockout" Brown ever meet the battler called "One Round" Hogan? If so, what happened? A. The men you mention met once. Hogan did not dispose of Brown in one round. Brown didn't knock out Hogan. The fight, a no-decision bout, went ten rounds. Barbers Passing a tonsorial parlor I noticed a barber sitting down while giving a client a haircut. Not a bad idea. Why don't all barbers sit down while working? Be better for their health. Be sides they wouldn't be so weary when they arrived at home at night and could take their wives out dancing a couple of times a week. Horses & Women Note Jane Rusell, the tall, buxom cinema celebrity refer red to as a "Venus." Jane has a nice figure, but she is definite ly no Venus. The same can be said of many other women who are said to have "Venus" fig ures. History tells us the meas urements of the young woman who posed for the statue of Venus were as follows: Height, 5 feet 4; bust, 3434; waist, 28V, and hips, 36. Musicians More people are being enter tained by music than ever be fore in this country's history. Nevertheless, of the approxi mately 249,000 professional mu sicians in the United States, only 74,000 have full time jobs! The major cause of the alarming un employment situation among musicians is said to be the juke box. So They Say Libra (September 23-October 22) men whose ruling planet is Venus have roving eyes. They are extremely flirtatious. To HE The Modern Way! Don't Use an Old Fashioned Hearing Aid NO CORDS! NO BUTTONS! NO TUBES! NO BATTERIES!

Work Injuries To Juveniles Shows Decline Salem (U.R) Work injuries to children under 18 in indestrial employment were almost one third less in the first quarter of 1955 in Oregon than for the first quarter a year ago, according to State Labor Commissioner Nor man O. Nilsen. Employment of the minors for the same period estimated to represent a four per cent in-, crease. The severity of occupational accidents to minors was found to be at a low point and no dis abling injuries were reported. Bureau of Labor investigations showed 25 per cent of the teen agers suffering injuries in the course of their employment were hired illegally without approval of the minors' jobs in permits from the labor bureau. About one-third of the jobs in which teen-agers were working illegal ly are classed as hazardous under child labor laws. "Study of the factors affect ing minors' accidents in legal employment shows that many of the accidents could have been prevented through training of young employees in the safe use of edged tools," Nilsen said. Hand injuries accounted for about half of the industrial ac cidents to minors in the first quarter. Back strain was next, followed by bruised feet and Three Mine Claims Filed in County Three notices of location of quartz mining claims were filed with the Jackson county record er's office yesterday. One listed cinnebar, one mentioned gold and the other did not specify the minerals. John Walch, John Walch Jr., and L. A. Walch filed the claim for the Blue Ridge Cinnebar mine on the west branch of Soda creek in the Little Butte Mining district. They listed also "other valuable minerals." Gold and other precious miner als were specified for the Radi ant Queen claim on the head quarters of Murphy's creek in the Evans Valley Mining district. Signing the location notice were Margaret M. Hoffman, Charles S. Hoffman, Don Johnston, Jewell Johnston and Vern Ward. Ad dress given was Mineral Fron tiers, Brookings, Ore. Helen Shoemaker and Everett E. Denny filed notice for the Ceader mine in the Foots Creek Mining district. Her address was listed as PO Box 465, Gold Hill.

The records indicated that boys on the job were eight times more liable to accident than girls. Jellyfish are not so helpless as is generally thought.
