Talent Schools
Add New Equipment
Talent Two new pieces of
equipment a movie projector
and a slide projector have been
added to Talent Elementary
school's audio-visual education
program.
Both the 16 millimeter movie
projector and the 35 millimeter
slide projector are mounted
semi-permanently in an extra
classroom which is used entire
ly for visual education. Other
equipment is moved from room
to room when needed.
Teachers schedule visual
classes in the special room
weekly and it serves 16 teachers
and classes. Instructors deter
mine the length of time needed
so the film may be introduced,
shown and discussed before
pupils are tested for information
retained.
Talent Elementary school is
a member of the Jackson Coun
ty Schools Film pool, which was
started several years ago to ob
tain and keep a central film
library of educational motion
pictures of all subjects. Member
ship fees are used to repair film
and add new films to the library
each year.
An "electric engineer" which
operates on all standard model

The first organization in this
country called the "Fighting
Irish" was New York's 69th
regiment, National Guard. It is
now officially known as the
165th Infantry, NYNG. I prefer
to call the 69th "new Y one s
Own." The 69th fought at Bull
Run, Antietam, Fredericksburg,
Chancellorsville, G e 1 1 y s burg
and many other places during
the War Between the States. In
World War I it battled gallantly
on the Marne and at St. Mihiel.
Its members originally were
practically all of Irish birth or
descent.
Eye Catcher
Do you know what an "eye
catcher" is in advertising par
lance? It is the top line of an
advertisement which inspires
th readine of the matter be
low. One of the most effective
"eye-catchers" of all time was
the line, "Men Don't Like Cold
Women." It was over a fur coat
ad and was originated by Toni
Frizzel.
Please Note
So the slightly debonair legal
light, Rudolf Halley, .is going to
be a partner in a jai-alai fronton
in Puerto Rico, with pari-mu-tuel
wagering permitted, that
could Drove a very profitable en-
Lterprise. In this country jai-alai
wagering is legal oruy in me
state of Florida.-At one time
there were jai-alai frontons, in
St. Lcuis, Chicago and New Or
leans, where gambling was per
mitted. When gambling was
barred they failed. Jai-alai was
played at the New York Hippo
drome for a brief period, wren
no wagering allowed, the ven
ture soon failed.
Those Blondes

blondes?" The brunettes seem

in the husband hunting field.
Surely the influence of that
film titled "Gentlemen Marry
Brunettes" cannot be that great.
There must be some other rea
son. Incidentally, in London a
67-year-old man was so desper
ately pursued by a 20-year-old
husband hunting blonde that he
had to ask for police protection
from her.
Get It Right
Note coffee and doughnuts de
scribed as "coffee and sinkers. '
A doughnut is not a "sinker."
That nickname was given to a
type of muffin served with a
"coffee and cake" order at Den
nett's restaurant in New York
City. Some patron referred to
the cakes as "sinkers" and the
nickname stuck. Dennett's was
the celebrated restaurant that
had its walls covered with fram
ed Biblical quotations. . . . Two
young old timers have been bat
tling verbally as to the spelling
of Frank Merriwell's sweet
heart. Also as to whether she
was blonde or brunette. The an
swer is that the young woman's
name was Inza. Last name was
Burrage. She was a brunette.
Over There
In. England they have a type
of turf bet called a "forecast."
Calls for selection of horses that
will finish first and second. In
that respect it is the .same as the
quinella. However the payoff is
different. You get "multiplied
odds." If the winner paid 4 to 1
and the second horse 15 to 1,
those picking them in the "fore
cast" get 60 to 1.
Passing By

MacPhail. Distinguished sports

of this country's most brilliant
business minds. Larry rescued
the Brooklyn Dodgers from
bankruptcy and started them on

cess. He then did much to aid
the progress of the New York
Yankees. Sold out his interests
in the latter club for several
million dollars. Now he is one
of the world's leaders among
breeders of thoroughbreds. At
the Saratoga sales last year,
MacPhail's Glenangus farms
sold over $300,000 worth of

Increase Proposed
In Yater Rates
For Central Point
Central Point The Medford
water commission this week pre
sented a proposed new contract
to Central Point increasing the
cost of water to the city. The
council discussed the new sched
ule earlier this week.
The new contract indicates an
increase in cost of water of about
8.9 per cent based on figures
compiled by the Medford water
commission for the period Oct.
1, 1954, to Nov. 1, 1955. The
present contract expires Nov.
23.
Connection Rates
Under the proposed schedule,
estimated cost for a three-quarter-inch
connection would be
$1.75, compared to $1 under the
present schedule. Other in
creases would be from $1.20 to
$2.25 for an inch connection;
from $1.40 to $2.85 for IVi-inch
connection; from $1.80 to $3.70
for a two-inch connection; and
from $3.20 to $6.90 for a three
inch connection.
The council also discussed an
additional charge of $1.50 for
Central Point connects to pay
off bonded indebtedness against
the water system.
' The new rates compared to
present metered commercial
rates in Medford are a little low
er. . Rates in Medford now are
S1.65, i S2.25, $2.85, S3.70 and
$7.50 for connections from three-quarter-inch
to three inch.
Additional Schedule
An additional schedule for
water in excess of the minimum
of 5,000 gallons also was pro
posed by the water commission.
The contract proposed calls for
the first 40,000 at 25 cents per
thousand, next 300,000 gallons
at 15 cents per thousand, the
next 1,660,000 gallons at seven
cents, and all over 2,000,000 gal
lons at 6V2 cents.
The increase is estimated to
Bee Management
Discussion Set
Bee management and winter
care will be discussed at a meet
ing of the Rogue River Valley
Beekeepers association at 8 p.m.
Thursday, Nov. 17, at the Jack
son county courthouse auditor-
Some commercial beekeepers
in the county lost as many as
50 per cent of their bee colonies
last winter because of cold
weather and lack of nectar bear
ing crops, according to W. B.
Tucker, chief county agent.
About 5,000 colonies of bees
are regularly kept in the county,
Tucker said, but the number is
less this year due to the quality
of hives that died last winter
from starvation.
All beekeepers and prospect
ive beekeepers are invited to the
meeting next Thursday, Tucker
said.

commission proposed a water

Ex-GI Turncoat Tells Portland
Audience of Chinese Kindness
o
Portland (U.R) One of three
ex-GI turncoats freed Tuesday
from a military stockade at San
Francisco last night blamed the
"extraordinary kindness" of the
Chinese Reds for the trio's de
ciding to remain in China after
their capture during the Korean
war.
William Cowart, 22, Dalton,
Ga., spoke at a self-styled "Cru
sade against Communism" meet
ing sponsored by Portland
evangelist Dr. Thomas A. Wyatt.
He was the only one of the three
to speak.
With Cowart on the stage were
Otho Bell, 24, Httlsboro, Miss.,
and Lewie Griggs, 22, Jackson
ville, Tex., who were released
from a stockade this week after
the TJ. S. Supreme Court ruled
the Army could not try civilians
for offenses committed in the
service.
Torture Not Always Involved
Cowart said he was "specifi
cally anxious" . for people to
realize the brainwashing meth
ods used by their Chinese cap
tors did not always involve
physical torture. He cited the
extraordinary kindness used , by
the Communists to break down
any resistance.
Cowart said the trio would
remain in Portland through Sun
day, and would appear at three
more meetings in the crusade.
More than 700 persons flocked
to the Wings of Healing sect
temple for last night's appear
ance, and Dr. Wyatt said he
hoped to broadcast at least, one
of the meetings.
The Georgia youth was intro
duced by George T. Davis, attor
ney for the trio.
Davis issued an appeal to oth
er American soldiers still in Red
China to "come home to the
country of your birth."
Earlier yesterday at a press
conference soon after the former
soldiers had arrived from San
Francisco, Davis said the Wings
of Healing appearances "may
give them a few beans in their
pockets which they badly
need."
Cowart, who said he planned
to return to Georgia to visit
his mother after Sunday, indi
cated he may attempt a nation
wide lecture tour.
Bell, whose wife Jewell ac
companied him to Portland, said
he had no plans except to return
to their home at Olympia, Wash.
He told newsmen earlier that
the Chinese Reds had threatened
to kill him and his wife if he
spoke with negotiators at Pan
munjom during the Korean war
truce talks.
Davis claimed Cowart and Bell
were "plied daily .with alcohol
and marijuana all during the
truce talks" and Cowart was
hospitalized for surgery to re
move him from the scene.
