Skeletons Found
In Prfneville Attic
Prineville (U.R) Skeletal
remains, possibly of two persons
were discovered here yesterday
in the attic of. a rented house
and under a chickenhouse some
two blocks away.
Deputy Sheriff Kenneth El-
dridge said Harold Smart was
cleaning out a chicken house
on a piece of his property when
he found a human skull and
vertebrae bones.
When Smart reported the find
to local officers, his wife recall
ed that a school boy had been
in possession of a human skull
some time ago. The boy told
police he had found the skull in
the attic of a house rented by
his mother.
Eldridge said the remainder of
a skeleton was found in a box
at the dwelling. She said the
skull found by. Smart and the
skeleton appeared to be from
two different bodies, although
found less than three blocks
apart. , .
. The remains were forwarded
to the state crime laboratory at
Portland.

A Nkhol't Worth of . . .
Comment On This and That
By HARMAN W. NICHOLS
Unitad Pre Futnn Wtlru
Washington U.R) Belat
edly, it can be said that some
newspapermen, Including this
one, got some
loot for
Mostly
little things.
Like the coon
skin beret
with a tail at
tached from
Sen. Estes Ke-
fauver, who
would surely
like to be in
Harmon NichoU "e big wnite
mansion on Pennsylvania ave.
My Democratic friend sent the
bonnet collect, by Western Un
ion, which is fine and I don't
mind a mite.
Finest present I got, I reckon,
was a shoe horn for fat men,
something I have needed for a
long time. The thing is knee high
and allows a man to put on his
shoes without bending or wheez
ing. The sender said ,it was made
in Egypt by "craftsmen skilled
in their art." They must have
been. I find it is no trouble at
all to sit on the side of the sleep
sack and get into your shoes
without stooping. These long
horned shoe-horns are a thing of
art.
Battle of the Sexes
Another present I liked at first
was a set of "his" and "hers"
flannel night gowns and night
caps. Veronica and I got a little
confused the first night we tried
'em on. The hfs and hers equip
ment got a little mixed up.
Mama wound up with my
nightcap on, and I with hers.
Mine didn't fit and vice versa.
Same went for the nightshirts.
We straightened that out after
a couple of sleepless nights.
Those nightshirts wrapped
around a neck can be a hazard.
About 20 calendars came my
way. Most of them you " could
pitch away. Everybody knows
this is leap year.
But one came from a movie
company. It gives you the day of
the week and the month and
there is a little gold thing on top
to straighten you out on what
day and month it is.
Trouble is you flip the thing
one way and you wind up on
the 7th of the month instead of
the 9th. Whip her the other way
and you run in to even numbers,
like 6 and 8. I haven't figured it
out yet and I'm mostly winding
up going the wrong way, but we
have plenty of time in our
house.
Back to Matches
Speaking of little things, for
a man who is cutting down on
smoking, what do I get but 20
cigarette lighters? All of them
advertising railroads, airlines,
new bras and other things every
family ought to have around the
house.
Lighters like that disappear
quick, and what with leaving
them on counters and such, I am
back to matches again. .
Then there was a fancy coffee
warmer, with a gold base and a
candle for heating up purposes.
This was a dandy, and is a nice
ornament, except all of the cof
fee pots we have keep the brew
warm until you pull the plug.
One of the loveliest gifts,
though, was a quill pen, dunked
into colored beads. It's a won
derful mantel piece, even
though it won't write a line.
I guess one of the nicest
things we got, though, was a jug
of grog, smuggled in from North
Carolina. Real white corn
squeezins. We've got that hid
away for a special occasion.
APPLE MAN
Eau Claire, Mich. (U.R) W.
Teichman, father of Michigan's
1955 "Apple Queen." said he
grows more peaches on his 285-
acre farm here than he does
apples.
and directed by Eric Von Stro
heim. But it was not finished.
The star of the movie was the
Marquie de La Falaise de La
Coudraye, etc. better known
as Gloria Swanson, the first
American actress to marry a ti
tle. Now that the world is about
to have a "Princess Kelly" Rain
ier, I have been asked how it
feels to exchange plain Miss or
Mrs. for a different sounding
word.
How did I feel? Well! Let me
see I felt all right and quite
frankly no different except that
I noticed more people made a
fuss over me because of my ti
tle than they would have over
my own earned fame.
Hostesses Swoon
Especially in restaurants.
Headwaiters simply adore the
sound of a title, and hostesses all
but swoon at the thought of hav
ing one at their garden or din
ner parties.
No matter if it's only a mere
baroness, the lowliest rung on
the title ladder. Still it's a title,
and a title seems to have some
thing magic about it, because,.!
am sure, it is a hangover from
our fairytale reading days. The
Cinderella story has always
been a good theme, and still is
despite the DRS (displayed roy
alty). The community will hum for
days at the prospects of enter
taining this appendage to a
person, though a Nobel prize
winner might be more enlight
ening or for that matter more
entertaining.
I have noticed in Europe since
the war that a few persons have
discarded the use of their titles
but continue to have plenty of
evidence around as a constant
reminder (to others) that there is
one in the famly.
Reminders Displayed
You can hardly miss the cor
onet oh their stationery, calling
cards and linens in the bed
rooms, bathrooms and dining
room. This kind of evidence is
usually accompanied with whis
pers of "My dear, don't say any
thing, but he or she has a title
but of course NEVER uses it
very democratic."
Whether or not it's democrat
ic, believe me, I'm going to pull
my title out of mothballs when
the name Gloria Swanson no
longer gets me a good table in
a crowded restaurant! If Bar
bara Hutton, who just before her
recent marriage to a baron, can
register at the Ritz in Paris as
a princess, though she's had a
few plain husbands in between,
so can I.
After all, she and Grace Kelly
have millions to rely on and I've
just got the rickety bed I made
for myself.
It will . require another 60
years to complete the job of
mapping the nation at the pres
ent rate, according to the U.S.
geological survey.
