Please Note There is no doubt that being President of the United States is a nerve wracking job and one which can be a threat to the holder's health. Neverthe less, the majority of United States Presidents seem to have come through the ordeal very well. The average life span of this country's chief executives has been well above that of the average man. John Adams lived to 90. Madison to 85. John Quincy Adams to 80. Van Buren passed on at 79, Jackson at 78. Buchanan at 77, Monroe, at 73. Herbert Hoover, now 81, is still in good health. Asking Queries from clients. Q.

Life Begins As for the claim that life begins at 40 consider the case of George Bernard Shaw and his charming matrimonial mate. When Shaw married he was 42. It was his first marriage. Also the first of his bride, who was 41, yet the Shaws nearly reached a golden wedding celebration. When Mrs. Shaw died they had been happily married for 45 years!

Schmidt, Una 'Happiest Couple' Portland (U.R) Airman Danny Schmidt and his 20-year-old wife, Una, reported from their second honeymoon beach hideaway today that "we're just about the happiest couple in the world." During a telephone conversa tion with United Press, Schmidt said that no one had bothered them for the first time in days pnd that both he and Una were enjoying the rest and quiet. The 23-year-old airman and his wife were reunited at the home of his mother, Mrs. Nellie Peters, here Wednesday night. Schmidt said it took him nearly three years to get home from a Red China prison camp and two weeks to get together with Una, who married another man while he was in prison. "But it took us only about five minutes alone to decide we belonged to each other," he added. He said they planned to stay at the beach for several more days and then probably would return to Portland for further visits with his mother. Schmidt refused to discuss Alford Fine; a California lum berjack whom . Una married while the airman was in the Communist prison, or whether they expect any legal difficul ties in shedding him. 603-665 N. TILLAMOOK PORTLANO 12, OtCOON a y - - - - Women's Political March Began 35 Years Ago Today By PATRICIA WIGGINS United Press Correspondent Washington (U.R) Today is ladies day. Thirty-five years ago today woman began her move from the kitchen to embassy drawing rooms into national politics and, who knows, some day perhaps to the nation's vice presidency. For 35 years ago a simple sentence became part of the con stitution and changed the life of America. The sentence is con tained in the 19th amendment: "The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any state on ac count of sex." The government has entered into the spirit of today's anni versary of the granting of wom en's suffrage. ' The Post Office department has issued a new stamp honor ing Susan B. Anthony, the ar dent female who fought hardest for the principles behind the 19th amendment. It's a passion ate purple. It is priced at 50 cents and carries Mrs. Anthony's portrait. Part of Series The new stamp becomes part of a regular series to be issued indefinitely. It replaces a stamp picturing President William Howard Taft the 50 cent stamp since 1938. It is the second regularly-issued stamp honoring a woman. The first is the lVi cent Martha Washington stamp. Miss Anthony probably would be amazed today at how far women have progressed since that day in 1853 when she shock ed a New York educational con vention by asking to make a speech. After a furious wrangle, thunderstruck male delegates fi nally granted her request. And she went on to bigger and better things. As one fond biographer wrote, "Every girl who now enjoys a college education; every woman who earns a living in any pro fession or trade; every wife who is protected in the ownership of property; every mother who has an equal right with the father to the custody and control of her children; every woman .who be longs to a club and works for individual and civic improve ment, owes these sacred privi-. leges to Susan B. Anthony above all others." Back To School I"7CC 9116 6-H In nruw She's the best-dressed miss on school's opening day! Her new fall dress a lovely long-torso line, of course!
