EIGHT MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Monday, February 20. 1958 On The Side e.y e. v. Duriing (Distributed by King F" Sedicte. Inc.) Think not, the husband gained ' That all is done; The prize ot married happiness Must still be won, ' And, oft. the careless Find it to their cost The lover in the husband may be lost. Lyttleton. The Bible tells us that Joseph, before he called on Pharaoh, changed his raiment and shaved. But what did Joseph shave with? How many times over did he have to shave? Then consider the .case of Marc An- .tony. According to history Marc shaved 10 times over before he called on Cleopatra. This indi cates that Cleo was a girl really ODDOsed to that five o'clock shadow. What did Antony shave with? Can some recognized au thority on the history of shav ing give us the answers to these queries? Exciting Spinster Eartha Kitt, 27 - year - old throaty voiced chanteuse, is be ing referred to as "trie most ex citing spinster in the world." Her earnings average $4,000 per week less tax. Eartha recently observed, "There -is a beast, in side every man. When I sing I just bring it out in a lot of them This brings to mind that ditty titled "There's a Little Bit of Bad in Every Good Little Girl." I wonder what male vocal ist, if any, has a tendency, when singing to bring out the little bit of bad in the good little girls. I would like this information for our Horses and Women files. Briefly The life of a married career woman down in dear old Georgia can be very ' difficult at times In that .State a wife's salary legally belong to her husband . . When "first lady," Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt made many speeches, some were quite lengthy. However,, the longest speech her successor, Mrs. Harry Truman, made during her period as "first lady" was "Thank you for the orchids." Asking - v Queries from clients: Q. What kind of gambling game is the one known as "Stuss"? A. It is a variant of Faro Bank. Practical ly the same as Faro but slightly revised to make it easier to play. The house percentage is a little better for Stuss than for Faro. For further details, consult that highly interesting book titled "Scarne on Cards" by John Scarne . . . Q. A contestant on a television quiz program said the model for Leonardo Da Vinci's painting "Mona Lisa" was the wife of a resident of Florence, Italy. The quizmaster said the answer was wrong, that several models had posed for the paint ing. How about this? A. The model for the Mona Lisa was the wife of Francesco Del Gioconda of Florence. The smile of Mona Lisa is the most discussed fea ture of this painting. However, it has also been said the hands are the most beautiful ever painted. Young women aspiring to be "hanxl models" should take a long look at the hands of Mona Lisa. So They Say s r Men born under Virgo (Aug. 24-Sept. 23) do not view marriage romantically. They have to be sold on the idea they will benefit by. it. They must be thoroughly convinced that two can live more cheaply than one. Virgo men are usually most interested in a girl who has a good position and is willing to keep it after marry ing. Or, so say the stargazers. Love How does your dictionary de fine love? In checking over this, the following definition from Funk and Wagnall's New Collage Standard Dictionary appealed to me as being unusually well put: Love a strong complex emotion or feeling causing one to appre ciate, delight in and crave , the presence or possession - of an other and to please and promote the welfare of the other." Passing By Jim Parley. Distinguished New Yorker. A brilliant politician, an accomplished physiognomist and a very wise man of business. Jim is also a charter member of the association of former right hand ed first basemen. In his youth, Jim cleverly covered the initial sack for the Haversraw, N. Y., semi-professional team. In those days he was known as "Stretch" Farley. Mystery How Sophia : "The Sizzler" Loren, Italian Cinema Queen, retains her slender and well pro portioned figure is a mystery to ' those who have seen .her in ac tion at . luncheon or dinner. Sophia is definitely not on a diet. Recently in the dining car of a Rome to Venice train Sophia was seen consuming a luncheon consisting of spaghetti, beef steak, fried potatoes, ice cream, chocolate cake and mixed fruits. Grange ISU Supervisors Vote ' Against Racial Bans Baton Rouge, La."' (U.R) Louisiana State university's . board of supervisors voted over whelmingly against barring its athletic teams from participating against Negro players or tighten ing entrance requirements aimed at Negro students. . . The action came Saturday aft er a seven-hour meeting behind closed doors during which two factions argued whether LSU should play teams which have Negro athletes, or tighten en trance requirements to halt an expected flood of Negro enroll ments at the undergraduate level. : Upper Applegaie Grange Maj. Gen. Joseph Hicks of the Jackson county civil defense agency, spoke to the Upper Ap plegate Grange at the last meet ing, Feb. 10, at the Ruch school. Two films were shown con cerning defense work in experi ments to determine the degree of destruction and effects of atomic explosions.. The films also showed organized evacua tion methods for metropolitan areas and how citizens in de fense groups of fringe areas aid in filtering , airplane alert . mes sages. ' General Hicks explained the importance of organized defense groups in supplying manpower to aid during any disaster and gave examples of help given by the federal defense administra tion to areas afflicted by recent floods. Radio stations KMED and KYJC are members of a nation al network known as Conelrad, which will give out . official in formation and instruction to aid citizens during emergencies. Following the program, , the meeting was called to order by Master George Redhead, with State Deputy Henry Henrickson and County Deputy Hoscoe Rob erts as visitors. Acting upon advice from state and county Grange officials, a motion will -be voted upon at the next meeting, Feb. 24, to re scind the motion to ' build the new hall on the McKee bridge property, and consider every available site more accessible to the entire Applegate area. ' Due to the fact that the hall building plans previously offer ed to the membership for appro val were considered too expen sive and impractical by the ar chitect, other, plans were dis cussed and examined by those present. A new committee has been formed in the Grange. It is a Friendship Committee" to call upon new residents in the com munity and upon those who are ill and not affiliated with the Grange, to extend good wishes and inspire a. feeling of good will.

Firestone Jr. warned Ameri cans today that "persecution is still being practiced in this coun try. Firestone, chairman of the Firestone Tire and Rubber Co., told some 850 community lead ers at the annual Brotherhood Week luncheon that this coun try has gained its great status through the bonds of brother hood. "And yet," he said, "there are some people with prejudices so .deeply rooted in their minds and hearts that they deny the reality of these facts. By word and by deed they practice per secution here in the land which owes its very existence to those who tied from persecution." Cases Said Magnified . Firestone, who is Brotherhood Week chairman of the National Conference of Christians and Jews, said another danger also exists "from Communists and fellow travellers who magnify cases o:: prejudice in the United States out of true proportion." These , people, he said, feed the sparks of resentment into the flames of vengeance, provid ing grist for the propaganda mills of our enemies. Firestone said that America stands before the world today as a living example of the power of free men. Americans mvst practice that freedom.
