1 TEN MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Wednesday, Mar 30' 1958 Gloria Swanson Longs for American Telephone System for Foreign Friends B GLORIA SWANSON Written for United Prei Madrid -UJ?) There is much Americans can bring to our for eign friends. Above all is the dear, adorable, wonderful Amer ican telephone system. It is sheer magic. This I want over here but fast for I've come to the end of my telephone cord. I'll never be able to express mp impatience with just an Italian or Spanish "tchtch," after waiting hours or even days for a call only to be cut off as soon as it comes through. But there are many things we can learn from them, too, start ing with languages. It is naughty of us to expect everybody in the world to speak ours. Imagine our indignation if a foreigner in our country expected us to speak his native tongue. Tries Natire Language I am no linguist, but at least I trv. with the help of a die- Paper Makers Locals Approve Wage Agreement Portland, Ore.

' Father of Four Dies In Logging Accident Reedsport (U.R) A 23-year-old father -of four small children was killed about 30 miles northeast of here yester day when he was crushed be tween a shovel loader and a log at a logging operation. The victim was Leland Ern est Thiele of Drain. It was the eighth logging fatality of the year in Douglas county. Thiele was employed by the Wells Creek Logging company, an independent contractor op erating in the Half-Mile creek area. tionary and thanks to my early training in pantomine. My Span ish is a farce. One of my typical sentences is composed of a word or two of Spanish, a couple of French, a few Italian and some pigeon English. But I try. I have been over here a year coping with French, Italian and Spanish and my grain feels like mush. We could learn much from many foreign businessmen whose sole goal is not just money. One American I know had a shock when he tried to triple a glove maker's output. He offered him cash in advance, but the . Span iard said; "No. thank you." "No," he said. "My wife and I have six employee. We all make enough to have a good life. We are content. If we enlarge our factories more employees, more troubles. Then when I have all these headaches and can t even enjby what I have, maybe you will have found, something else that interests you. Horsemeat Fresh All the hotels in Spain try to please Americans. At mine, room service must think I'm loco because I scream "take it away" every time they' serve me something out of an American tin can. I don't want food full of pre servatives, artificial colors and flavors and D.D.T. nor do I want fish or chicken embalmed with a new American chemical. I tell them: ' "After all, you are healthier than we are, so I'll eat what you do." With which the astonished waiter takes it away and returns with something that was killed yesterday probably horsemeat. Around Hollywood . By ALINE MOSSY United Prei Cerreieend'ent SEE" JTjum Hollywood (U.R) Fans of Hollywood's junior sweethearts already are showering Debbie .-F3L Reynolds and . a a i c r i&ner with booties and bonnets, but Debbie "is one mother-to- be who believ es in business as usual. I dropped in on 1955 s most . Aline Mosby publiciz- e d bride to see how she was taking the impending event that is sure to have the fan maga zines in a state of frenzy. The heir to the Fisher for tune is due, in November. But Debbie still looks the same, even in a tight pair of blue she wears at Universal-International studio for "Tammy." She's working six days a week, from the crack of dawn to 8 p.m. to finish the pic ture by Saturday. Next Monday, she and Eddie drive to work together to co-star in their first picture together, "Bundle of Joy" at RKO, an aptly-titled opus that also marks young Eddie's movie debut. In that picture the expectant moth er not only dances, but does a rock 'n' roll jitterbug. Actress Feels Sam "I don't feel any different," announced Debbie, snapping her gum as she sat . in her studio dressing room. "The doctor says I can do anything now that I did before. And I've always been very, active. For me just to sit down is a shock- to my nervous system. I've cut out malts and hamburgers, but otherwise I eat as usual." Debbie took the chewing gum out of her mouth and began eat ing raisins. "After December we're rent ing another house," she contin ued. "The one we have m Paci fic Palisades is too far out. We go to New York in December and then Eddie will be touring with his. TV show. We'll take our two dogs and the baby, too. "We don't care whether it's a boy or girl just so it's healthy," she added. - Debbie figures on returning to the screen next year. And she hopes to run into some meaty comedy roles. Critics have raved over her first dramatic perform ance in "A Catered Affair," an event that would send most ac tresses to measuring their man tles for an Oscar. But Debbie frankly admits she was talked into the part, didn't like doing it and has no plans for more dra matic roles. . "I couldn't get out of the tragic mood after I went home from work," the breezy actress ex plained. "I'm most always happy and when I'm unhappy I never show it. I figure its' my business. But with' that part all "my friends asked if were sick! "I want more comedy parts, especially a comedy or musical on Broadway." As - for more babies, Debbie I cheerily noted she . and Eddie will decide that later.

Keeping Turf on Football Field Not An Easy Problem Chicago flJ.R) Behind the scenes of college football there usually is a worried man trying to grow good grass, and he can offer pointers to homeowners who want to get their lawns in shape.' The smooth turf that is the ac cepted surface for football fields all over the country is not just a matter of chance. Forty-four cleated feet during a football game tear up even a tough sod almost as effectively as a power cultivator. Where the grass rootsN are torn open, weeds begin to grow and the finest turf tends to weaken, . providing an ideal place for soil insects to thrive. No farmer trying to grow a bumper crop gives his land more care than the man trying to keep good grass groving on a football field. This turf manager takes soil samples to experts for analysis, he - uses fertilizer, he studies new varieties of grass, and he even goes to regional con ferences to hear experts lecture on grass. Now a new process has been tried with encouraging success at several important colleges and universities and seems to give grass a flying head start and gives weeds no chance. Notre Dame took the 'plunge with the new process last spring by cul tivating its field, adding new soil, organic matter and fertiliz er, and then using the new proc ess fumigation. Not For. Amateurs Tobacco farmers and others with delicate crops have used this process for several years. First the area is covered. by & plastic sheet sealed to the earth all the way around, a quick vaporizing liquid is put under the cover, and the treated area is allowed to rest for 24 hours. During this time, the gas from the vaporized liquid kills the pests which cause most of the trouble in grass. Not only are living weeds and weed roots killed, but also weed seeds, and the area is left almost entirely free from competing or injurious growth of any kind. The cover is then removed, and the earth al lowed to air for a few days. Then the grass is planted. On the clean, treated soil, the grass seems to grow with the vigor of a charging football line. From a bare start late last spring the Notre Dame football field was covered with thick, strong turf by September. The passing of winter, when grasses dig their roots down deep, has made it even stronger. The process proved so good that the University of Illinois and U. S. Military academy have taken it up, and the chemical company which developed it ex pects homeowners eventually to use the method. But the company explained that the chemical must be used only by well-equipped and well trained professional operators, because the material is poison and must be used with care. Where it is used correctly, it ap pears to-soive most lawn prob lems in a single process. Safety Rules Given For School Children . Boston (U.R)-- The Institute For Safer Living has issued safety rules for the nation's school children, nearly 2.000 of whom are killed yearly going to or from their classes. 1. Work out and use the saf est route to and from school with your child. 2. Teach him to walk on the extreme left edge of the road, always facing traffic, if there is no walk. 3. Impress your children with the need for obeying traffic offi cers, school crossing guards, school safety partols or mechani cal signs and signals. 4. Neighborhood mothers should take turns supervising school children at the bus stop and insure safe boarding of the bus.

(U.R) Good commercial seeds are better than home-grown seeds, according to a University of Wisconsin vege table crops specialists. John Schoemann gives two reasons: home-saved seeds are apt to carry plant diseases, and different . varieties of certain crops, especially pumpkins, cross very readily with each other. Where home-saving is at tempted, keep only seeds from asparagus, lima beans, cucum bers, eggplant, lettuce, mustard, okra. pepper, radish, vegetable soybean and tomatoes.

Veterinary Demand Greater Than Supply Chicago (U.R) The American Veterinary Medical Association reports that a number of vet erinary schools have a far great er demand for graduates than they are able to supply.
