TWO MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Wtdntiday. June 13. 1956 PLUCKY Nine-year-old Tony Lepre, struck down by a speeding stolen car six weeks ago in Newark, N. J., smiles courageously as he is visited ty his father, George, in Newark's Martland Medical Center. Doctors were forced to amputate both of the youngster's legs. When Newark papers reported that Tony's dad was jobless and in finan cial difficulties, contributions of $8000 poured in to aid the plucky lad. On The Side By E. V. Durling (Distributed by King Futures Syndicjta. Inc.) mm this hour the summer ross Sweeter breathes to charm us From this hour the winter snows Lighter fall to harm us. Fair or foul on land or sea. Tome the wind or weather. Best and worst, whate'er they bo Ha shall share together. Praed (The newly wedded) Excessive weight is a life ihortener. The larger the waist line the shorter the life line. That's what the physicians and health experts are constantly claiming. However, it isn't neces sarily so. Here are some notable exceptions. I know of a Chicago an who is 81 and weighs 200. She feels fine. She has three sisters; one is 77 and weighs 260, anoth er, 75, weighs 235, and another, who is 73, weighs 300. They, also, all feel fine. They had a sister who weighed 110. She died years ago. Incidentally, she was the only one of the four sisters ac cepted for life insurance. Guide To Guys Cancer (June 22-JuIy 23) men are easy to get and hard to hold. To win the affectionate regard of an Aries (March 21-April 20) man, flatter him on the brilliance of his intellect. As for a Capri corn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) encourage him to tell his troubles but never tell him yours. Pisces (Feb. 20 March 20) are easiest men to break into matrimonial harness. They make no show of resistance when asked to help with the housework. The first man to have a "his"' apron pinned on him was probably a Piscean. Or, so say the stargazers. Dessert How does your wife rate as a culinary expert? How versatile is she in making desserts? Does she know how to make "utterly deadly pecan pie"? Certainly, there is a dessert so named. The recipe can be found in the cook book titled "Cross Creek Cook ery" by Marjorie Kinan Rawl ings. Asking Queries from clients. Q. Was there a song titled "Praise The Lord and Pass The Ammunition" or was that just a remark made by somebody? A. Was title of World War II song written by Frank Loesser. Q. Who was the better actress, Sarah Bernhardt or Sarah Siddons? A. Mrs. Sid dons is rated the best actress of all time. She achieved no recog nition as an actress until after she married and became a moth er. Those who claim motherhood is a necessary experience for a great actress use Mrs. Siddons as an example. However, others say motherhood had nothing to do with Sarah's recognition. That at first she was miscast in being given comedy parts when her great talent was in being a tragedienne. Horses And Women What are the measurements of the "perfect" feminine leg? Willy de'Mond says they are as fol lows: ankles. 8' 2 inches; calves, 12-i, and thighs, 20. Among those who have nearly perfect legs is the Princess Rainier nee Grace Kelly. Her measurements are: ankles. 8',j; calves, 12li, and thighs, 19 Vs. Expectant Papa Are you by any chance an ex pectant papa? Have you the necessary knowledge to deliver a baby in case of an emergency? That is, if no doctor is available. If policemen can learn how to deliver babies, why not you. I heard of a father of 14 who offi ciated at the delivery of all his offspring. He was not a doctor. Nor was he a policeman. He was a boilermakcr by trade. He mas tered the technique of child de livery by reading books on the subject. Streamlining The most fattening cocktail is the Dry Martini which has 130 calories. A jicger of Scotch has 113 calorics; Rye, 127; Rum, 134, and Gin, 122. Keep this in mind if you are supervising the stream lining of your wife so she will present a glamorous appearance in a bathing suit. Wives being streamlined should be limited to two cocktails per party, no mat ter what the ingredients of the drinks are.' Langley Declines Jury Invitation Portland (U.R) District At torney William M. Langley yes terday declined an invitation to appear before the Multnomah county grand jury. Langley said he sent a latter to the jury explaining his rea sons for not appearing. Police Chief Jim Purcell and Mayor Fred Peterson appeared before the jury in response to invitations. None of the e wns under subpoena. The jury is in its second week of investigating vice allegations here. Bakery To Build Plants In Salem and The Dalles Portland U.R) E. F. David son, president of the Davidson Baking company, announced here yesterday that his company will build new distribution-sales buildings in Salem and The Dalles. Davidson said the identical buildings will be 40 by 140 feet. Cost of each of the two build ings will be about $52,000. Construction Center Office Shows 'Something Wrong' San Francisco (U.R) Even the casual visitor feels there is somehting wrong with the stair way leading to the ultra modern offices pf the Construction Ma terials center. The feeling becomes stronger on entering the spacious "li brary" and exhibit rooms where all the materials of construction, decor and furnishing are blend ed into something resembling an unfinished movie set. On the stairs, one wall is fin ished with paneled redwood, set off in style with attractive plant ers of greenery. The other wall is cracked ancient plaster with blistered paint. The steps and risers of the stairs are worn with age. One office has the exposed ceiling of pipes and rafters seen in an old warehouse, while other offices have the latest thing in sound-proofing. A floor may be covered with imported Danish cork flooring, another may be simply the splintering boards of the original building. Not Many Spacers Left "It's for a purpose," explained Victor di Suvero. "Those unfin ished portions are the blanks left to fill in our three-dimensional catalog. They will be filled with I an in-use exhibit and there are not many spaces left The Construction Materials center is the brain-child of 28-year-old di Suvero, and is the first of a scries of centers con templated from coast-to-coast in such cities as Los Angeles, San Antonio, Seattle. Denver, Port land. St. Louis. Chicago. Atlanta. Miami. Boston. Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and New York. The purpose is simple in con cept. The center provides a per manent exhibit of nearly every product that goes into the mak ing of a home or an industrial building. Competitive products are displayed side by side and are presented impartially so that the architect, builder or do-it-vourselfer can choose for him self. Here related products can all be examined in conjunction. All the elements of a proposed ex terior or interior for a home can be seen together so that a com plete and accurate picture can be formed in a very short time. Here such questions as "Who carries it?", "Will it really stand up to the weather?", "What does it actually feel like?", "Does it slide easily?" can be answered immediately. . The center is unique. Not only are there samples of all mater ials such as Italian marble tiles. Dutch and Autralian plywoods, British expanded aluminum. Ja panese fencing, German lighting fixtures, but each is exhibited in use. Scientifically designed "wing displays'" carry samples, and drawers have bulkier items. In addition, all are cataloged in an extensive library system so that manufacturers can be put in touch with potential buyers and consumers or vice versa. This is no direct salesmanship. There is an objective study. "The center," said di Suvero, "has been conceived as a service for the public, supported by the manufacturer, to provide usable current information concerning their products. It differs from exhibits like a "home show" be cause it is permanent. It is not a trade show or a selling organiza tion. We've had inquiries from everywhere and are in the pro cess of setting up branches in ev ery major building area in the country." Originally organized to cater to builders, architects and con tractors, do-it-yourself home owners now are the most, fre quent visitors at the six-month-old center. ""..VJ SHAKESPEARE WOOS RED3 r.

Phone 3-3687 Conscience Bothers; Railroad Gets Check Minneapolis (U.R) The Minneapolis & St. Louis railway office here recently received a S3 check from a Port Townsend, Wash., man who said his con science has bothered him for more than 40years. The man said in an accom panying letter that he took a trip from Watertown, S.D., to Staf ford, S.D.. in 1909 or 1910. He explained that he lost his ticket and promised the conduc tor to mail him the money but never did. "As near as I can remember," the letter said, "the fare was S2.54. This however, may not be correct, so I am enclosing S3."
