SIX MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE
Wednesday, August 31, 19S5
On The Side
By E. V. CURLING '
(Distributed by King Features
Syndicate. Inc.)
For a sports event to promote
international good will, how
about a round-the-world auto
mobile race open to cars of all
nations? Such a race was held
over 40 years ago. In 1908, to
be exact. The race was from
New York to Paris by way of
Russia. It started at Times
Square, New York. Two hun
dred and fifty thousand people
were there to see the start. Six
cars competed; three French, one
Italian, one German and one
American. The race started on
Feb. 12, 1908, and finished in
Paris July 30 the same. year.
The winner was the American
car, a Thomas Flyer. That rugged
vehicle is still around. It can be
seen at Clark's Automobile Mus
eum, Southampton, L. L
Those Arguments
We would like to get a few
arguments off our list to pro
vide space for other discussions:
Therefore, please be informed
that the following claims have
been adjudged correct and no
further discussion will be held
on same. 1 Nineteen hundred
was Jot a leap year. 2 George
M. Cohan was born on the third
of July, not the fourth. 3 Joe's
barroom irMhe poem "The Face
On The Floor" was located on
Union Square, New York City.
4 Robert Burns did not origin
ate the song titled "Auld Lang
Syne." 5 The original "It" girl
was not Clara Bow. It was Aileen
Pringle. 6 The first jockey to
be called "The Iceman" was not
George Woolf but Henry Spen
cer. Omission
Responding to a request to
name sports figures having the
nicknanje "Rube,. I made a
grievous and unforgivable errr.
I left out the greatest "Rube"
of alL That is "Rube" Waddell.
What a character he was! A
film based, on his career could
be amusing as well as highly
dramatic. '
Sidelights
. Off Greenport,N L I., not far
from Brooklyn, there was caught
a lobster weighing 39 pounds,
and 22 inches in length. Let
Maine try to top that for size
. . . A for low prices paid for
used cars,9 am informed by a
Californian he recently bought
a 1941 car for $5 and that it is
now in regular use and running
fine. v
Husband Selection
How about husband selection?
That's what a group of six Balti
more bachelorettes asks in com
menting on this department's re
cent helpful hints to bachelors
on wife selection. I have asked
our Mules & Men experts to pre
pare some of the requested ad
vice. Offhand, I would say . a
bachelorette should think twice
before marrying a jockey. He
will want her to live in a trailer.
Tha life of the wife of a doctor
can be very difficult. Think of
all those "emergency calls" com
ing at the most inopportune mo
ments. Then there is the worry
about the beautiful blonde pa
tients. Only women of very
strong character and a great sup
ply of patience should marry
professional ballplayers. They
are more temperamental than
opera stars. Whether the home
of a ballplayer is sad or glad de
pends entirely on how many hits
he got in the game that after
noon. ' t
Please Note
As for caviar, I don't care for
it. In my opinion crepes suzette
is overrated and excessively
publicized. As for pheasant un
der glass, you can have my
share. I don't care for squab
either. What do I like? Don't
get me wrong. I like several
hundred different kinds of food
items. Howeyer,' I would rather
have $had roe than caviar. I'll
take babpau rhum over crepes
suzette and a skilfully prepared
portion of chicken fricassee, with
dumplings, over pheasant under
glass.

Covered Payrolls Hit Winter Period Record
Salem (U.R) Payrolls cov
ered by the Unemployment Com
pensation Law reached $307,
778,663 in the first quarter of
1955, highest for this winter per
iod in history, but employment
reported by 17,870 employers
was slightly below similar fig
ures in 1951-52-53, the State Un
employment Compensation Com
mission said yesterday.
Gain in wages paid to covered
workers from 1954 to 1955
amounted to $20,892,000 or
about 7.3 per cent, but the in
crease in average- employment
was only 8,222 to 302,947 or 2.8
per cent. Payrolls were about
4 per cent higher than in early
1953, which had been the prev
ious all-time high for the period.
Montly Pay Jumps
Average monthly pay for
workers covered jumped to
$338.50, highest yet figured for
the winter months but about $20
below the all-time high in the
late summer of 1954.
Logging and, lumber opera
tions provided much of the force
behind the economic pickup last
winter, tabulations from 2692
firms in Oregon's main industry
showed. Employment averaged
72,224, about 5000 more, than
the previous year but slightly
below 1953. Payrolls reached a
new high of $83,015,697, an in
crease of nearly $11,000,000 over
the winter before and more than
4,500,000 above the previous
peak in early 1953.
Slight Gain Shown
Construction and food pro
cessing gained slightly over 1954
but failed to equal the winter
before. Other manufacturing
groups showed payroll gains
over both previous winters but
failed to equal employment
records of early 1953.
Finance, insurance and realty
concerns covered by the unem
ployment law reported both
more jobs and higher total wages
than in previous years. But
trade, service and utilities fol
lowed the general trend of fa
vorable comparison with last
year but below 1953. The finan
cial group was the only main
line showing gains in early 1954
over the previous year. y
