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

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

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

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."
