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.

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

tiful sonnet and an equally beau
tiful work of nature are all in
the final analysis works of God.

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." ,

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.
