0 a 0 G G O CD : O O O G O O o o EIGHT MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Monday, August 8, 1955 On The Side by e. v. Durimg (Diitributed by King Fiaturam Syndicate. Inc.) The liveliest town in Texas is now Galveston. There is a campaign on there to increase the popularity of the city as a pleasure resort. Gaiety, gambling and gals are featured. Crooked gambling is not tolerated. The visitors must be given a fair deal. It is interesting to note that the gambling machine known as the "one-man bandit" is barred. This, according to those dominating the Galveston gay life situation, does not give the player a fair break. Something New A method making it possible to mature whisky in eight and one-half hours. That's what a Scotsman named Tom Suther land has originated. By Suth erland's method, whisky, in the brief period aforementioned, can be made as mature as three year old whisky is at present. Experts have been unable to dis tinguish between the 8V4 hour old whisky and the three year old whisky. However, the law in Scotland says all whisky must be matured in a cask for at least three years before it is sold at retail. Asides It is still my opinion that organ music gives a restaurant the atmosphere of a funeral par lor. The ideal dinner music is that furnished by a string quar tet. . . . The first automobile in which I rode at the rate of over 60 miles an hour was a Stutz Bearcat. In-Laws If a girl's father is henpecked, her future husband will proba bly suffer the same sad fate. So claim some experts on the sub ject of life among the married. Keep it in mind, young fellow. Before you definitely accept a girl's proposal of marriage, check on how her mother han dles her father. Also keep in mind that a woman who domi nates her husband too much is likely to make a difficult mother-in-law. Knitting , Does your wife do any kit ting? How speedy is she? How many rows and how many stitches can she do in a minute? Howi long does it take her to knit a pair of socks? There has been originated a home auto matic knitting machine that will knit 30 rows and 5,000 stitches a minute. With this remarka ble gadget a pair of socks can be knitted in 35 minutes. Mayflower I met a woman who proudly and repeatedly said her ances tors came to this country with the Pilgrim Fathers on the good ship Mayflower. I asked her how many passengers were on the Mayflower. The query baf fled her. So I told her the answer was 102. I wonder how many people in the United States can now truly say their ancestors came over here in the Mayflower. There must be thou sands of them. Consider the fact that Mr. and Mrs. John Alden (Priscilla Mullen), who came over in the Mayflower, alone had 11 children. Please Note Millionaire actor Humphrey Bogart and his wife, Lauren, have celebrated their tenth wed ding anniversary. They ex pressed their belief that their adherence to the old fashioned idea of a double bed has been a major factor in the success of their marriage. That could be. On the other hand Katherine Cornell and Guthrie McClinic have separate beds on different floors in the same house that is, each has a private apartment. Yet Katherine and Guthrie have been happily married for over 33 years. Literary Note Marlene Dietrich is writing a book on the subject of the pres ervation of beauty. That could be good. Marlene, now 50, ap pears to be about 35. She has never had a face lifting opera tion. So she doesn't have to wear her hair long to conceal the operation scars near the ears as some women do. I be lieve part of the secret of Diet rich's eternal youth is that she has a very active mind and has always been interested in the problems of other people. Happy Husbands Have you a bachelorette in your family? Has she studied how to make a husband happy? In some recent research involv ing thousands of single young women it was found 71 per cent had studied how to make a hus band happy. However, their enthusiasm as to learning how to cook was not so marked. Only 50 per cent had studied cooking. Also less than 50 per cent had studied infant care. By the way, perhaps you have a bachelor son. Has he done any studying on how to make a wife happy? Neckties Monsieur De Givenchy has said, "The signature for a man's clothing should be his tie." Quite so. I have noticed that women comment more on a man's tie than any other article of his apparel. By showing un usual taste in neckwear, a young fellow can often get off to a good start in an effort to win the af fectionate regard of a beautiul female. It is not a bad idea for a man to ask a woman to select his ties. Plane Hits Tree Killing SF Pilot Stateline, Nev. U.R) A San Francisco man was killed and his companion was seriously injured yesterday when their plane crashed into a tree in the High Sierra just above Lake Tahoe. Kilfed in the accident was Willard E. Holt, 22, a Pan Amer ican World Airways employee. His 19-year-old wife is expect ing their first baby in a few weeks. Seriously injured was James C. Headrick, 26, an employee of the Nystrom Aviation company of Palo Alto. He came here three weeks ago from Chattanooga, Tenn. He was rushed to Carson City hospital for surgery. Witnesses said their Piper Tri-Pacer touched down on the abandoned Tahoe Village air strip, then climbed back into the air. Constable William Stam baugh of Tahoe Village said the engine "appeared to be turning over smoothly but it seemed to lack enough power to clear the mountains on the east side of Tahoe. The plane smashed into the base of a tree near the Kings bury Grade, only three feet away from a tent occupied by Tom Baleria of Babbit, Nev. Ba leria was unhurt. The plane had taken off from Reno yesterday morning. Suzan Ball Rites Will Be Tuesday Hollywood U.R) Hundreds of Hollywood personalities are expected tomorrow to pay their final respects to Suzan Ball, 22 year - old actress who fought a gallant but losing battle against cancer.

She banned permanents for this reason. Kern County Shaken By Light Earthquakes Bakesfield, Calif. (U.R) Two light earthquakes jolted many Kern county residents last night but authorities said no damage or injuries had been reported. Police spokesmen said they be lieved the tremblors were after shocks of a major quake that crumbled the Bakersfield busi ness district and killed two per sons three years ago. The shocks were felt shortly after 7:10 p.m. (PST). Nude British Dancer Told To Remove Shoes London (U.R) British censors, who allow models to appear on the" stage in the nude if they doti't move, apparently don't go for halfway measures as far as unclad girls are concerned.

Around Hollywood By ALINE MOSBY United Press Correspondent Editor's note: Aline Mosby Is on vacation. Today's guest columnist is Jim Henaghan, a magazine writer and Hollywood columnist. Recently Jim startled Hollywood by turning up as the producer of a $7,500,000 movie, "Gettysburg," starring John Wayne. How did ne do it: By JIM HENAGHAN Written for Ihe United Prest Hollywood (U.R) The other day there was a big story in the paper that I was giving up the profession of newspapering to become a producer. Ever since then most of my friends, as well as a lot of peo pie who hate me, have asked questions about how a fellow goes about this sort of thing. Like Josephine, the girl down at the drugstore where I get my breakfast every morning. "What's all this baloney," she said, "that I heard about you becoming a producer? Beverly Hills Mansion I wasn't sore at Jo, but felt it was time she realized my social position had changed. It all has to do with a state of mind. mean, a guy can hang around Hollywood for years, like I did, carrying his own shirts to the laundromat, and suddenly he looks at a palatial estate in Bev erly Hills and says, "Why don't I live there?" And so you decide to be a pre ducer. You go to lunch at Romanoff's, and when the waiter brings the bill you don't even change color; you just write something on it and walk out like you had a charge account, and on the way out you clap Mike Romanoff on the back good, so his monocle falls out. That way he thinks he knows you. Then you go to previews, and stand out in front smoking a cigar. When the crowd comes out, the pale ones will be the producer and his help, so you amble over and shake your head and go "Tch, tch, tch." Or pos sibly, "Whew." You walk around all day with Variety and the Hollywood R.& porter in your pocket. You're seen walking out of big office buildings in a hurry. You send lots of telegrams. They can be about anything, it doesn't mat ter much what, to Zanuck, Schary, Hartman and Jack Warner. You wear tailor-made clothes, drive a Jaguar, and rub your chin a great deal. It's as simple as all that. And there's an even simpler way You start out as a messenger boy. You get to work early, and you stay late, and pretty soon you're in the mimeograph room, Then you get a job in the cut ting room, and pretty soon you're a cutter, and then a third assist ant director, and so on. And at the end of 20 years, you marry the boss's daughter, and you get to be a producer. How did I do it? You don't think I'm going to tell that, do you?

(U.R) A grief-stricken husband said to day he was sure that more than one sex fiend was involved in the murder of his young social ite wife whose unclothed and battered body was found Sun day in a pasture. Automobile dealer William R. Allen Jr. said his pretty wife. Wilma, "was a reserved women" but "would put up a real fight" against anyone trying to force his way into her automobile. He said he was sure it would have taken more than one man to subdue her. A three-day search for the 34-year-old mother of two sons came to an end near Stanley, Kan., Sunday when two farmers looking for a lost cow stumbled on her bound body in a pasture thicket. The spot where the body was found was 15 miles from her Kansas City, Mo., home and 23 miles from where she was last seen in a shopping district fol lowing a beauty shop appoint ment last Thursday. The death spot, 100 yards off U.S. High way 69, also was only a few miles from where young Bobby Greenlease was killed less than two years ago.
