food to four families isolated
by slides and washouts in a
canyon east of Elkton, Ore., off

note stuck on a post in the road.
It was addressed to . the Red
Cross in Roseburg and said:
"I am writing this so maybe
you can help us out. We are
stranded with no way out for
groceries and the bridge is out.
Can you or some agency get
through to us or get the roads

children can use help."

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.

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."

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.
