o SIGHT MZDfORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Friday, October 21, 1953 Plush Air Transports Going To EuroD e To Return Touring Solons Townsend Uninvited To Ceremony Honoring His Beloved Late King London U.R) Peter Town send, in a possible royal snub, received no invitation today to a ceremony honoring a man, be loved both to him and Princess Margaret her father, the late King George VI. The Queen unveiled a statue of King George who introduced his daughter Margaret to Town- send nearly 12 years ago. Margaret stood in the rain alone to watch with her royal relatives. Townsend stayed in his lonely guest flat in Lowndes Square. And Queen Elizabeth II, who on religious grounds cannot con sent to her sister's marriage to the divorced Townsend, made a speech recalling that her father "enjoyed the blessing of a happy home life founded in Christian3 faith and perfect love.' Was Clog To King Those invited to the sentimen tal ceremony in Carlton Gar dens off the mall were not re stricted to royalty. They included "members of the government, persons espec ially associated with the late King, and members of his house hold," acording to the official anonuncement. No household member present was closer to the late King than Peter Townsend. Townsend, a commoner, attracted ine sny monarch with feats of combat in the air and doubly impressed him at the palace as a man "who can get things done." But Townsend was not among other household members at the scene to honor the King who took him from obscurity to the highest councils of Buckingham Palace and introduced him to Margaret." Gala Dinner Party Most Britains believed the princess still had not made up her mind about marriage, but a gala diner with Townsend which lasted until eight minutes past one this morning confirmed that the romance is very much alive. The morning papers were just hitting the streets when Mar garet, wearing green velvet and a mink stole, rode home from the dinner in a Rolls-Royce whose chauffeur she had kept waiting for an hour while she said her long, long goodnight to Townsend. Today's ceremony recalled once again the days of 1952 when the King died and Eliza beth became queen. It was then that Margaret turned to Town send for comfort and the queen mother asked him to take out the princess and cheer her up. Townsend won his divorce the same year and he in turn looked to Margaret for comfort. It was then they fell in love only to run into now the difficulties presented by Margaret's official position and the Church of Eng 1 a n d displeasure against re marriage by divorcees. - mm VflTH YOUR PURCHASE OF A ItSS RCA tSTATE RANGE A complete set of WEAR-EVER Hallite Cooking Utensils t worth 2700 oYonrs without extra cost when you buy an RCA Estate Range; Off JMftJ.:. lurry f SPACE KING AUTOMATIC COOK!

Louise Home Gets Aid from Current UMC Fund Drive (Editor's note: This is an other in a series of articles describing the agencies bene fitted by the United Medford Crusade fund drive now under way. The material is provided by the agencies themselves.) Louise Home, a sprawling building of homey living quar ters, located about 10 miles east of Portland, provides shelter and guidance to wayward and de linquent girls but forbids the use of iron bars and wire. Founded by one of Oregon's outstanding humanitarians, Wil liam G. McLaren, the home has proved successful in building a new life for several generations of girls. They come through agen cy referral, court order and some times on a voluntary basis. Eligi ble ages are 12 through 21, but the average age is 15 or 16. There are approximately 50 girls at the home. Girls Encouraged Girls are encouraged to de velop a sense of responsibility and group cooperation through assigned house duties and. a broad optional activities. In ad dition to vocational and aca demic training activities include field trips, swimming and tum bling classes, picnics, beach out ings, parades, movies, junior symphony performances, visits to friends and families. The home provides interde nominational church services and medical facilities, allowing for maternity care-in special cases. Louise Home operate on a theory that each resident is an individual and that her problems must be worked out individually in a group situation. Plan New Cottage As a result of growing de mands on the Home's facilities, construction on a new admitting cottage will start this year and purchase of an adjacent building is being considered to facilitate the transition from direct care to independence for girls recent ly out of the home. From" 8 to 10 girls and two staff workers would eccupy this cooperative home. Contributions to, the United Medford Crusade will help sup port Louise Home. Venezulea Girl Beauty Winner London U.R) Shapely Sus ana Djuim of Venezuela car ried off the Miss World title last night in a beauty contest almost devoid of the usual tantrums marking Britain's annual cheese cake derby. The only tears came fro the winner, a 19-year-old who shapes up at 34-21-34, and from France's Gisele Thierry, a 21-year-old Paris mannequin who sobbed "eet ees ridiculous. She ess not ze winner. Eet was un fair." . Miss Thierry, a pre-contest favorite among the field of 21, placed sixth. Many contestants sympathized with her, and said she should have placed higher than sixth. But most of them agreed with the judges in pick ing the Latin American. One of those was Margaret Anne Haywood, Arkansas' trav eling ambassador of faeauty who took second honors and "thought I did pretty good" to do so. Gloria Swanson, one of the. judges, also has a kind word for Monte Carlo's 16-year-old Jo sette Travers who was elimin ated in the finals. "She's a cute kid and if she sticks to these contests I think she'll win a lot of prizes," Miss Swanson said. POEM PUBLISHED . Ashland Dr. Arthur Kreis man, chairman of humanities at Southern Oregon college, has a poem, "For My Students and for Joyce Kilmer" appearing in the October issue of the profes sional publication, College Eng lish. The essential theme of the poem cites the fact that a beau tiful sonnet and an equally beau tiful work of nature are all in the final analysis works of God. POISON OAK?

Get a bottle to 1st Plane Goes Empty; Pay Load Hoped for Other Washington (U.R) An empty four-engina Air Force transport plane flew to Spain today to pick up two senators and their wives and bring them home at Defense Department expense. The Air Force said the plane landed at Madrid. Another plush transport is scheduled to leave in 10 days loaded this time the Air Force hopes to pick up another sen ator and his wife in Paris. The cost of the two special round-trip flights across the At lantic will be about $20,000. The Defense Department said that under law it "had no alter native" to sending the planes once they were requested by the senators. Defense Spending Survey The three senators and their wives who will receive the spec ial flights are Sens. John Mc Clellan (D-Ark.), John Stennis (D-Miss.), and Dennis Chavez (D N.M.) all members of a Senate appropriations group which has been -touring Europe and the Near East to check on defense spending. The plane which will pick up Stennis and McClellan and their wives in Madrid on Sunday left here late Thursday. Officials said the plane was forced to leave in such a hurry that it was impossible to round up any pas sengers or freight for the trip across the Atlantic. The Air Force, however, al ready has a tentative load lined up for the plane that is sched uled to leave Oct. 31 to pick up Chavez and his wife in Paris on Nov. 3. The Defense Department by law is requirel to furnish trans portation to congressmen who are on official committee busi ness. But Robert Tripp Ross, Assistant Defense Secretary for Legislative and Public Affairs, said the Defense Department originally had proposed that the senators return in previously- scheduled airplanes that would leave for Madrid and Paris two to three days later than the de parture dates set by the senators'. The department was advised through the escort officer to the senators Maj. Gen. Robert Moore that the later depart ures were unacceptable. "Therefore," Ross said, "there was no alternative under the legislation . . . but to provide the special aircraft to meet the requests." , Crater High Has Lowest Costs for Past School Year Central Point Crater High school had the lowest operational cost during the past school year, according to figures from the county school superintendent's office in the annual report of non-high school boards.

EoGfy 1133 i it' tj !ia y Broad Smile Lights Face of Miserable Youth as Police Move in for Arrest A good lawn must hare prop er drainage. Tile drains can help poor draining subsoils, say spe cialists at the University of Vermont. By PATRICK CARR United Press Correspondent New York U.R A broad smile lighted Joseph Fernandez' face when police called at his apartment in the Bronx Thursday. It was the first time Joe had grinned for a long time. For Joe had been married for nine long months. And Joe's wife was a shrew. The police couldn't make his life any more miserable, Joe rea soned. They might even make it better. This was something to take advantage of. So when the cops told Joe he was under arrest, Joe respond ed as any 16-year-old in his position. He offered to fix tea and cin namon toast for the officers. The events that led to Joe's arrest began when he was 12. It was then that Joe was spot ted by Luz Inez, the girl next door. And Luz saw in Joe the makings of a good husband. Waited Four Years She was four years older than he, and Joe was too young to marry yet. But Luz wanted Joe and Luz didn't mind waiting four years for what she wanted. In January, 1955, Luz lured Joe through a snowstorm to a clergyman. The snow, Joe learned, was never so cold as the heart of his bride, Luz. From the day he married, Joe was never permitted to see his old friends. For Luz kept her new husband bound to the dish- pan and the ironing board. During the nine months he was married "to Luz, Joe de veloped housemaid's knee. He also complained of a crick in his back from bending over the ironing board. - i It was all work and no play in tne House that imz built. For Luz refused to give Joe any money from the $57 she earned each week as a factory hand in a box plant. It was a hard life for Joe but he made no complaints and his parents followed his example. They made no complaints either, although they sometimes won dered what had become of their son since the night of that snow storm last winter. It was an Irishman who final ly brought about Joe's rescue. Thomas J. O Donnell, super intendent of the Bronx Chil dren's Society, checked into Joe's school record. He learned Joe hadn't attended a single day of classes since the snowstorm last January. Juvenile authorities looked into the case. And eventually Luz was arrested and charged with impairing the morals of a minor. Her case will come up in Bronx magistrate's court next Friday. And Joe will be waiting to hear the verdict.
