"The big powers called us 'mischievous' when we first pro posed it at the United Nations," he said., "Then they called it impractical.

JACkON COUNTY'S EXCLUSIVE HOTPOINT DEALER" 7 North Central Aven ue 137 East Main Street Bedford, Oregom-Phone 3-5306 Ashland, Oregon Phone 9-5831 In fte Day's Hews By rRAHE JEHKWS The American Association for the Advancement of Science, holding its annual convention this week in relatively warmer and drier Atlanta, tells us that atomic energy may save the famed --American chestnut tree, which is presently threatened with extinction by a blight dis ease. r, ?' I THINK that perhaps IF I HAD TO I could get along without chestnut trees. But The scientists add Atomic radiations can change the GENETIC STRUCTURUE of some plants. Sometimes these "altered" plants are resistant to diseases. So they're going to try spraying the seeds of the' chest nut tree with atomic X-rays in the hope that some of them will become CHANGED and able to resist the chestnut blight. FASCINATING thought: Maybe we could PRAY THE KREMLIN (possibly from a high-flying plane) with some of this atomic radiation, thus eventually changing the commu nist tribe "that inhabits these grim premises into HUMAN BE INGS that would be resistant to the deadly germ that inocu lates power-holding rulers with an uncontrollable desire tocon quer the world. That would be SOMETHING! GOP Senator Andrew Schoep- pel of Kansas says in Wash ington he thinks congress might wen consider ousneis, Daies or poundssrather than ACRES as the measurements used in attempts to control farm pro duction. Acres, he says, are too flexible to be used as a meas urement. Like a rubber tape measure, they can be STRETCH ED with fertilizer and such. But, he 'adds, we ought to go on subsidizing farm production perhaps with progressively higher loans on better grades of agricultural commodities that are likely to go into govern ment storage. T WONDER, Senator, if we'll ever be able to control over production which lies at the root- of the farm problem as long as we go on SUBSIDIZING IT. As a publisher, of newspapers, I'm pretty sure that if the gov ernment guaranteed to buy all the papers I produce I'd go right on producing all the papers my presses would turn out even if all the government could find to do with them was to stash them away in storage ware houses. Human nature, you know, is human nature. riday, December 30, 1911 o o MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE FIVE Around .'Hollywood St AUME MOSSY Unfeed Pmm Correspondent ' Hollywood flJ.fi) Television is billed as a killing business, but the comedians who survived a year of se- sawing rat ings and 0 ill n e s s e s still have enough humor to pick their biggest gags of 1955. To some view ers the year's best TV mem- AIin Mosby ones involve such stories as Eddie Fisher's ro mance, the decline of Davy Crockett, the invasion of major movie studios into TV or the Martin and Lewis feud. But to others, who spent hours" with their eyes glued to a 21-inch screen and . thawed TV dinner clutched in their hands, the best memories were the biggest laughs, o I asked some of the top TV comedians to dust off their gags that they thought wre the most hilarious during 1955. Durante Relates Gag Jimmy0Durante's funniest mo ment, he believes, came during a skit. A bobsled drawn by six huskies whizzed out of a movie theater with people running in panic in front of it. Durante stared at the bobsled and re marked, "I knew they'd go too far with' that Cinerama!" George Gobel's best year-end memory was the following gem from one of his monologues: "Will the person in our audi ence driving a maroon convert ible with. Texas license plates, cowhide upholstery and steer's horns on the radiator please go out and move your car. Some happy-go-Charlie staggered by and he"s trying to milk it." Aft er suitable laughter Gobel added-, "But it's riot so funny. He's spilling oil all over the parking lot." 0 Comics Lampoon Show Jercy Lewis and Dean Martin are proudest of their sketch lampooning "The SC4.000 Ques tion." Then there was Bob Hope's hilarious satire on "This Is Your Life" with an all-star cast of dogs, including Lassie. Groucho Marx kept his NBC TV program, "You Bet Your Life," at the top with many an apparently ad-libbed but actual ly well-planned joke. Johnny Carson is happiest with his bit of playing "Autumn Leaves on the piano whije leaves fluttered over him until he was completely submerged. RedSkelton for his best gag of 1955 picked one from a show he telecast in New Yorkthe day the Brooklyn Dodgers beat the New York Yankees and won the World Series. Cracked Red: "Brooklyn had to win. They were blessed. They had Podres pitching for them."

MAIN PHONE 2-2953 r SPEAKING of newspapers The Calgary Herald, pub lished up in Canada, says in a pre-Christmas-Day editorial: "It'sgoing to be nothing but good, good, good news in Klam ath Falls, Oregon, this week. If NO news is good news, then the readers of the Klamath Falls Herald and News can expect to have a good time reading their paper's front page. "The editgrs of that newspa-pe?-at least, it is a newspaper 5J weeks of fee year are plan ning again to use only "good" news tiems on the front page for the six weeks Drecedine ,;Christ- fmas. By doing this, they'rio doubt assume that thev will prevent the people of Klamath galls from having uncomfortable thoughts about the nasty world around them. 0 People in Klamath Falls may feel better because their front page is all sweetness. Most peo ple aren't so silly they will buy their paper TO FIND GKJT WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE WORLD." (Th capital letters are mine.) "10, BROTHER, it isn't quite ' that way. 0 The editors of the Herald and News think their readers read ALL THE PAPER not just the' front page. They look upon their front page as tkeir show window and, like all good merchants, they seek to-, display in their show window their BEST MER CHANDISE. They refuse to believe that crime and scandal and catastro phe and war are the newspaper's best merchandise. Court Records to DISTRICT COURT William A. Raymond, failure operate in single lane, S7.50.
