A Nlchoft Worth of .71 Comment On This snd Tliat By HARMAN W. NICHOLS United Prar- Futwi WriM - 1 S .s 1 Washington (U.Pj Just got a letter from Mary. She's an agricultural exchange g u a y And what impress ed her most, so far, ;s that she saw her first gall bladder operation. Mary Louise Ansberry (2. 'A ' J-' of San Ardo, HaTman Nichols Calif., did not say whether the knife work was done on a steer, but considering she's a farm girl, we have to reckon it was. Anyhow, the 24-year-old black haired beauty is having herself a time. She knows enough Span ish to get along, and she likes that Latin air south of the bor der. Se is staying with a family named "Bidegains" near Monte video. "Wonderful people," she says. "Tljey treat me like one of the family. They have a cook and a 14-year-old 'Girl Friday,' but I help with the dishes. Mrs. B. Does a lot of the cooking, even though they have servants." Well Ran Dry "We all went down to the cistern to rope-pull up water. It was fun, kind of," she says. "Also I have been doing all of my own laundry and ironing. I'm handy at that." According to Mary, the Bide gains have t a nice little plot, spreading over 5000 acres. They have fine Herefords, 1000 head of sheep and lots' of wheat and flax. "The sheep shearers arrived one day," she says. "There were 10 shearers and 11 more men to help with the sheep, wool and cooking. They shear with mach ines. They are paid by the ani mal. The foreman or capataz puts a phony coin in each work er's cup when he finishes shear ing a sheep. At the end of the day, the worker gets cash equiv alent." Pie Fell Apart Mary says she wanted to show Mrs. B. how to bake an apple pie. "It turned out fine, California style," she writes. "Except that Mrs. Bidegains, while taking it out of the oven, turned it upside down and the pie fell to pieces." Mary says the food she has had on the various farms is very tasty. Usually, she wrote, there is soup at least once a day and lots of Acelga. "Acelga" is stuff that looks and tastes like spinach. "They make a pie out of it," Mary said, "and it doesn't taste bad at all. I have written down the recipe." Mar, loves to ride a cow pony and she had a chance to do it in Uruguay. Jorg, the 10-year-old Bidegains boy, and the adopted "girl Friday" wanted to go rid ing. So they all saddled up. "It was pleasant," Mary said. The saddles were fine: First a blanket, then the saddle, then one, two or three sheep skins with wooly side up." , "Hardly any bounce at all," she says. LATE MAIL DELIVERY Goderich, Ont. ;U.P.)

Lima, the capital of Peru, was founded in 1535. CHRISTMAS OPENING SPECIAL! Amazing 3D PICTURE PUZZLES for Children 50c Value 2 Puzzles Boxed Complete with Stereoglasses Wed. Only . .

CENTRAL POINT As We Live "Opposite!" Are Not A Good Marriage Bet The notion that opposites at tract and make the best marriage combination is a popular belief that is not borne out by every day experience. (Q) "I am a rather shy and timid man. Ever since I start ed to date, I have dated girls who were more aggressive than I am. Sometimes it both ers me to be with a person who is so sure of herself and it makes me feel like a weakling. On the other hand, shy girls never have a thing to say and there are those awful periods when neither of us can think of a word to say. Will you give me your opinion about what sort of person I would get along with best?" (A) You are attracted to girls who are just the opposite of you but marriage involves more than iust attraction. tv9 Dr. Herloek There must be a mutual respect for each other and a sense of be longing togeth er. These quali ties of mar riage you will never find in Jy ELIZABETH HURLOCK, PH.D. a person who is your exact op posite. You have found, from your own experience, that girls who have the aggressiveness you lack make you feel inade quate and this you resent. I am sure that girls you date do not have the same respect for you they would have for men more nearly . like themselves. i Now, as to the question of the type of person you should mar ry. That is impossible for a stranger to answer. However, there is one thing I can say and that is that you should start to date girls more nearly like your self, not those just your oppo site. When a person has some out standingly , weak personality trait, as you seem to feel you have, it is wise to select as friends and as a mate people who are slightly stronger in those traits than you are. In that way, you will not be made to feel inadequate by comparison. And, at the same time, the peo ple you are with will compen sate for your own timidity and may not even be able to draw you out and help you to correct it. (Copyright 1955, General Features Corp.) Use Tribune Want Ads Scientists Change Eye of Housefly Riverside, CalX (U.R) Sci entists, who are always busy changing things, have now man aged to change the color of a housefly's eye. This not too significant feat was accomplished by entomolo gists at the Citrus Experiment Station here studying DDT-re-sistant bugs. By breeding thou sands of houseflies, the scientists have developed a green-eyed fly as compared to the normally red eyed variety. Minor changes in wing mark ings had been reported in the past, but this was believed to be the first observed mutation of its type in the housefly. More than 10,000 houseflies are raised each week by the en tomologists in order to learn more about the inheritance of immunity to insecticides. This resistance to insecticides has been reported in 30 species of economically important in sects, including disease-carriers such as the housefly and the mosquito. Art Collection Prints Rented by University Berkeley, Calif.' (U.R) The University of California has started a traveling art collection, renting out prints of rare paint ings to those with an urge for culture. The rental service of the cor respondence department circu lates color reproductions of more than 800 great paintings. It has divided its collection into four parts, containing from 40 to 60 prints mounted uniformly on mats 12 by 15 inches in size. A spokesman for the depart ment said the prints were se lected and organized for the pur pose of presenting the most rep resentative view possible of the painting of . the western world. Every important school of west ern art is represented in the ex hibits from Pre-Renaissance to Picasso and from Flemish to con temporary American. Tuesday, November 29, 1955 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE FIVE Hoarder Again Puts Trust in Banks Minneapolis (U.R) Amen Balkin, 63, trusts banks with his money again. Police were astounded when Balkin dumped $5,754 in small bills out of a gunny sack when the officers arrived to order him out of his small hotel room at the request of the manage ment.

Czechs Spearhead Soviet Infiltration London (U.R) The Kremlin is grooming Czechoslovakia as a spearhead of its new infiltra tion offensive in the Middle East and Southeast Asia, Soviet policy experts said here today. Czechoslovakia, which was used to cover up the Communist arms deal with Egypt last month, has been selected to make it possible for Russia to approach under-developed nations ranging from Afghanistan to Assam on the Red Chinese border. A Czech trade mission is now in Cairo. Another headed by a deputy .minister has arrived in America's Indians do not have red skins, or even copper colored. Fondness for painting themselves with red ocher or red vegetable paints led the American aborigines to be called redskins by early explorers, fur traders, and colonists. Actually the Indian's skinis brown, some times shading almost to white. Assam. An Afghan mission ha3 been invited to Prague, preced ing the visit next month to Ka bul by Premier Nikolai Bulgan in and Communist Party chief Nikita Khrushchev.
