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."

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

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."

George Grimaldi as he slid 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
