I am married to one of them.

all legally married too, let me
add.

none of us was married. We
worked together several hours
a day, traveled together, lunched
and dined together. It was only
natural that the boys would
come to me with their problems,
and I to them.
Allen would consult with me
about a song he was writing.
Fran would discuss a new ar
rangement he was working up
for us. John would ask my opin
ion about a new suit or tie he
had on. And Hal, of course, had
first call on my time all the

TTl never forget the night In
Cincinnati, one of the boys asked
if I'd have a sandwich with him
after the show. He wanted to
talk to me privately," he said.
"Paula," he began nervously,
"I'm thinking of getting married.
You're the only person in the
world who can help me. How do
I ask her to be my wife?"

It seemed funny at the time,

Medford Librarian
Particularly welcome, and
particularly appropriate this
year in which we celebrate the
Lewis and Clark Expedition
Sesquicentennial, is a gift of
books donated to the Medford
Public Library by Robertson E.
Collins in memory of the late
Floyd Hart.
In accordance with Mr. Hart s
special interest in northwest his
tory, Miss Fay Woolsey selected
the following titles for purchase
with the fund provided by Mr.
Collins:
"Peaceful Conquest," by Kel-
sie Osborne, a story of the great
expedition by which Lewis and
Clark solved the last great mys
teries of the North American
continent. The author has
created a gripping narrative of
the 8,000-mile journey into a
vast and dangerous unknown
region.
Northwest History
Explorers, from Seamen Bal
boa and Gray to Oregon's Mc-
Loughlin stand forth as living
men in Gordon's Speck's "North
west Explorations," an account
of 500 fabulous years of sea and
land discovery in the Pacific
Northwest.
John Gwyther describes one
of the most remarkable adven
tures of all times in "Captain
Cook and the South Pacific."
When Lieutenant James Cook
put forth to sea from Plymouth
in the bark "Endeavor," he car
ried sealed orders. Only after
his ship was far at sea did he and
his crew know that they were
heading into uncharted waters.

counts John Wesley -Powell's
most dramatic achievement, his
leadership of the first expedi
tion to descend the Green and
Colorado rivers through all
their canyons. Resulting from
his explorations was our whole
American philosophy of conser
vation and reclamation, a sub
ject which was also a special
interest of Mr. Hart.
The casually but accurately
written "Wildlife of the Pacific
Northwest" by McKenny is
another memorial book selected
in accordance with this interest.
