On The Side

George Washington was a
turf enthusiast. At one time he
owned as many as 130 thorough-
H breds. Thomas Jefferson was
also a race horse owner. On one
occasion, Washington's best
horse named Wagnolia, met a
-oan colt owned by Thomas Jef
ferson in a match race at the
Alexandria (Va.) Jockey Club.
Jefferson's horse won by ten
lengths. At present, United
States Presidents seem afraid to
even attend a horse race. If a
President of the United States
attended a Kentucky Derby I
don't belive it would do him a
bit of harm politically. It might
even do him some good.
Briefly
Despite the reputation blondes
have for being flirtatious.danger
ous and predatory, the fact re
mains that over 80 per cent of
the women named as correspon
dents in divorce cases are bru
nettes . . .The best dancer of all
Presidents of the United States
was "Big Bill" Taft, who
weighed 300.
Gtt It Right
Oldest "Chinatown" section
in United States is that of San
Francisco. It was started in 1850.
No Chinese lived in New York
City until 1862. The first Chi
nes to settle in Manhatten was
a sailor named Lou Hoy Sing.
Incidentally, he married an Irish
firl.
Picas Not
The first burlesque troupe to
perform in tnis country was that
extremely shapely group known
as Lydia Thompson's British
Blondes. Most of Lydia's blondes
wert really brunettes transform
ed by the use of peroxide. In
fact, Lydia and her troupe of
very lively synthetic blondes
popularized peroxide . in this
country.
Fourth Child
Are you a fourth child? Have
you friends who were featured
at their mother's fourth
blessed event? The fourth child
lives longer than any of the
other offspring. Such is the
claim of the experts. That's a
break for me. I am a fourth
child.

'.. What is the extent of your
knowledge of music? Are you
familiar with Haydn's "Surprise
Symphony?" At one point the
score of that calls for a terrific
crash of instruments. Asked for
the reason for this, Haydn said,
"Oh, that's to wake up the audi
ence. Short Skirts
When women are trying on
kirts don't they ever ask for
a chair to see how they look sitt
- ing down? If they do, how does
it happen that so many women
who shouldn't wear short skirts
very short, do wear them? . . .

Asides
It was Alphonse Karr who so
wisely observed, "If men knew
all that women think they would
be twenty times more daring"
. . . When Dempsey floored Tun
ney for that "fourteen count" in
their Chicago meeting it was the
first time Gene had ever been
floored in his long ring career.
Please Note
Divorcees are still topping the
list of preferred matrimonial ma
terial. No women has a better
chance of getting a husband than
a divorcee in her early thirties
The chances of a thirtyish divor
cee marrying again are ninety
four in 100. Of widows in the
same age group the chances are
only sixty in 100.
Exception
As to the claim that men
weighing over 250 seldom en
joy a long life a notable excep
tion was General Winfield Scott.
The general who was 6 feet 5,
weighed 310. He lived to be 80.
Names
Am informed that at an air
force base in California there is
a United States Army sergeant
whose first name is Doris. Not
only that, his wife's name is
Johnnie. I still can't understand
why parents should give a male
child such a name as Doris. How
ever, that is not the topper. A
San Francisco couple named
their male child Cleopatra. As
an adult he became a longshore
man and retained the first name
his parents gave him!
Sfcrfe Payments To
Insured Workers Drop
Salem (U.R) Payments to
insured workers unable to find
suitable jobs declined $1,342,546
in May, about 34 per cent lower
than the month before and 7
per cent under a year ago, the
State Unemployment Cdmpensa
tion Commission reports.
Last month's outgo brought
the total for the current benefit
year to $19,616,014, nearly 12
per cent below the correspond
ing period last year but the third
highest in the commission's 17
year history. With but one
month to go, the entire year
probably will total around $20,
600,000, compared with $23,430,
100 for 1953-4, the commission
said.

Americans Can Be
Proud of Korea
Generosity By Gl
Washington U.R) The
generosity of the GIdn Korea is
a little-known story and one
Americans can be proud of.
The 25th infantry Division
will long be remembered by the
children attending a brand new
schoolhouse that its soldiers
built at Yong Jong-Ni. At the
Seventh Day Adventist Hospital
in Pusan, they're dispensing
medical aid and supplies under
the joint sponsorship of the 7th
and 53rd transportation compan
ies.
All over the bleak, mountain
ous country, of Korea are re
construction projects, financed
to a considerable extent by vol
untary contributions from in
dividuals, soldiers. CARE, a re
lief organization, said individual
donations by GI's for Korean
reconstruction totaled $1,700,-
000. Of this sum, $1,500,000 was
contributed by the Eighth Army
servicemen who bought pack
ages from PX stores for indivi
dual Koreans. This does not in
clude substantial sums donated
under CARE's "matching" pro
gram of Korean relief.
Christmas Cheer
In Operation Santa Claus, the
armed forces gave presents,
clothing, playground and med
ical equipment to Korean chil
dren, many of them homeless.
GI's gave 422 parties for chil
dren in South Korea last Christ
mas. To coordinate these programs
initiated by the American sold
ier himself, the AFAK (Armed
Forces Assistance Korea) pro
gram got under way in Septenv
ber 1953. President Eisenhower
well Taylor, Eighth Army
commander, federal funds to co
ordinate voluntary with federal
reconstruction programs. AFAK
estimates about 2,000 projects
will have been completed by
June. This includes orphanages,
libraries, churches, hospitals,
highways, and bridges.
The Army estimates that
AFAK construction projects as
of this January are valued at
$31,644,800 and non-construction
projects at $1,939,900. The
latter include work in the fields
of public health, welfare educa
tion, and religion.

liuuuuuuuuuumjm ,
Look what Mr. Peterson told those financiers!
Mr. Alfred G. Peterson, a forth
right man, addressed the con
vention of the Savings Associa
tions League of N. Y. State and
boldly discussed the matter of
advertising-of his own free will.
Mr. Peterson, who is president
of the National Savines and Loan
League, and president of the First Federal Savings
and Loan Association of Greenwich, Connecticut,
spoke as follows:
"I feel that advertising is a very profitable
investment. But we should not buy advertising
blindly. We should give careful consideration
both to the appeals and the media we use."
And listen to this !
"The medium which tops the list is the medium
that reaches the greatest number of people at the
lowest cost. It is my opinion the. newspaper is
that medium.. ."
But that isn't all .. .
"I place the newspaper at the top of the list
because it reaches the local market. All of us are
really conducting local businesses.
"We may be bound together into a national in
dustry, but our spheres of influence are entirely
local.
"The newspaper reaches precisely the people
we want to reach."
Ah, Mr. Peterson you are a man Mho knows
his investment!
Last year the institution headed by Mr. Peter
son invested 5 of its gross income on adver
tising, and more than 60 of that went into
newspapers.
In only ten years this Association multiplied
its total resources eight-fold!
Gosh! If savings and loan people themselves
advertisejjthinkjiow they must feel about lend
ing money to people who work for sound com
panies who advertise soundly in newspapers.
All business is local. . . and so are all newspapers!
