Hitchcock Tells Plan For Juveniles; McKay Lauds Ike s Courage Hood River 'UP) Phil Hitchcock, candidate for the Re publican nomination as U. S. Senator, called for a "special conservation corps to prevent juvenile delinquency" in a speech here last night. Hitchcock made his remarks before the Hood River Izaak Walton league. "Conservation calls for pre serving our u n d e rprivileged youths .as well as for preserving our natural resources," he said. Hitchcock added that the pro gram he envisioned would get youths off the streets and into healthful work and would teach them "conservation practices while accomplishing vital con servation work." The ex-state senator reaffirm ed his objections to the construc tion of Pelton dam on the Des chutes river on the grounds that the state of Oregon should have the right to determine the use of its own water. Bend (U.R) Douslas Mr Kay, opening his campaign for the Republican nomination for U. S. Senator, called fer a long range plan to aid agriculture in a speech here last night. McKay praised the courage of President Eisenhower in stand ing for a workable and lasting solution to the farm problem. He added that there is no easy solu tion to the farmers' problem. The recently resigned Interior Secretary spoke out for conser vation of natural resources and said that he had been working for conservation and preserva tion for the last 20 years. "The most important things in our natural resources are water and energy. The only way they can be developed for the great est good of all of us is through cooperative effort," he said McKay also strongly urged maintenance of sustained yield forest management of Klamath Indian timber. On The Side by e. v. Duriing (Distributed by King Features Syndicate, Inc.) Generally speaking, which are more graceful, men or women? Men handle themselves with much more ease and grace than women. Consider the ease and grace of baseball players. Women cannot run gracefully. Even women who walk grace fully, waddle when they run. The male member of a great ballroom dance team is usually the most graceful dancer. Male golf and tennis players have a much easier and more graceful style than female players. i Get It Right A much misquoted poetic pass age is that Dorothy Parker wrote about bespectacled females. Dor othy did not say, "men never make passes at girls who wear glasses." She said, "men seldom make passes as girls who wear glasses." A continuously mis quoted Biblical passage is the one about money and "the root of all evil." It is not, "money is the root of all evil," but "the love of money is the root of all evil." However, the top spot as to misquotation is still held by "gilding the lily." Shakespeare said, "To gild refined gold, to paint the lily." An excellent way to remember this is to keep in mind what Byron wrote: j "Shakespeare lays 'tis very silly To gild refined gold, or paint the lily." Briefly Nature gave men the best eyes of all animals yet two thirds of human beings need glasses. Poor and unintelligently placed lighting equipment in homes, offices and public places has much to do with this sad situation. ... Of feminine first names the most common in this country is Anna, including its variation such as Ann, Anne, etc. Second on the list is Mary. By the way, has there ever been a song about a girl named Anna?" Please Note How right that fellow was, who said. "Them that has gits." When John D. Rockefeller reached 96, he received the face value of his life insurance poli cies, which was $5,000,000. When a man reaches 96, most life insurance companies pay him off in full. Passing By Harry Richman. Veteran vo calists and pianist, began as a piano pounder in a cafe in Salt Lake City. 'Then joined the vaudeville act known as the pi anophiends. After that became Mae West's pianist. Was as the peak of his popularity during the prohibition era when he oper ated the Club Richmond in Man hattan. That's when he started to sing "Laugh, Clown, Laugh." He is still singing it. Horses and Women Billy Rose in explaining the presence in his shows of so many statuesque females, said, "I have had an unusual number of girls of six feet or over in my shows. However, I did not select these girls because they were six feet in height but because of their being long-legged. Girls with long legs are not only usually more beautiful than short-legged females but they are more intelligent." SAVAGE CREEK-ROGUE RIVER Service Station Sale Told By CHRISTINA MARSHALL Savage Creek-Rogue River Keith Barnes, who formerly op erated the Barnes Auto Parts store in Central Point, has re cently purchased from Bob Wed lock the Texaco Service station at the Rogue River Junction and 99 Highway which is known as Bob's Texaco.

Tuesday, April 17. 1956 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE FIVE Pretender To Throne of Prince Rainier Sad Over Loss of One More Chance Ightham, England--(U.R) The gaiety in Monaco brought only sadness to a quiet village pub where the pretender to Prince Rainier's throne tends bar. "I know that this marriage cuts away one more chance of my regaining the throne," said George Grimaldi as he slid a tankard of suds across the ma hogany. Grimaldi, also known as Mar quis Grimaldi, is the latest in a branch of Rainier's family which claims the sixth Marquis Alexandra Grimaldi was forced from the Monegasque throne il legally in 1605. Would Cost Too Much "I would press my claim but it would cost too much money," the bartender said in an inter view at the bar of the Chequers Inn. "I can only wait." Grimaldi had high hpes of regaining the throne during the long years of Rainier's bachelor hood. He thought that if Rainier died without an heir, the people 'Queen for a Dayr Missing in Desert Hollywood (U.R) Authori ties today feared that a 78-year-old great - great grandmother, winner of a television contest, and her daughter are lost in the Southwest desert because of fail ing to appear in Gallup, N.M., for a special Indian festival held in her honor. i Mrs. Mary Kazmier and her daughter, Molly Bernard of Tulsa, Okla., were last seen in Las Vegas, Nev., Saturday night en route to Gallup. The trip was part of a scheduled two month, 31-city tour of the coun try won by Mrs. Kazmier on the "Queen for a Day" TV show.

Officials said Mrs. Kazmier failed to make a scheduled stop at Winslow, Ariz., Sunday and never appeared yesterday at Gallup, . where special Indian ceremonies were arranged in her honor. of Monaco might call him back to the throne. The Prince's marriage to Grace Kelly makes it likely that there will be an heir. "If I were there it would be hard to keep silent while Miss Kelly is becoming wrongful princess of Monaco," he said. No 111 Feeling The Marquis, tall, 47, did not harbor any ill feeling against Miss Kelly. "She is a lovely girl and should make a lovely princes," he said.
