"I am a middle-aged woman," writes a reader, "attractive, in terested in people and church ac tivities. My children are married and have homes of their own. I have been a widow for ten years. But I would like to find compan ionship or even marriage again. Yet somehow I cannot seem to meet any suitable men . . ." "I am a school teacher in my thirties," writes another corres pondent. "I have a good educa tion, can support myself, but I am shy about making friends. I'd really like to be married but I haven't the slightest idea how to solve the problem. What should I do to meet nice men?" Unfortunately, the chances of marriage for a woman decrease rapidly with her birthdays. Af ter thirty, suitable men are in creasingly scarce for a variety of reasons, too numerous to list here. A man usually marries a woman younger than himself, and his marriage year usually falls in his twenties or early thirties. A woman of thirty would have to look for someone Officers Named For Girls' State Salem (UP) An Astoria girl ruled today as governor of Girls State here. Linda Thompson, 16-year-old I daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Troyer Thompson, was inaugurated as governor yesterday in a cere mony in the House of Represen tatives.

Katherine Finell, Coos Bay. was chosen state superintendent of public instruction. Gov. Elmo Smith spoke to the girls yesterday and praised their interest In government affairs. Medford's five delegates to Girls' State are Miss Diana Rus sell, 204 North Ivy street; Miss Jacque Colton, 1619 East Main street; Miss Linda White, 4024 Crater Lake highway: Miss Mil dred Weaver. 2036 Table Rock road; Miss Marcia Beeler, 610 Whitman place.. ' Mrs. Everett Gillespie Guest of Bridge Club Mrs. Everett Gillespie. Med ford, was a guest player for the last meeting of Riverside Bridge club Wednesday. North-south winners were Mrs. R. J. Conroy and Mrs. W. W. Stevenson, first, 80i points; Mrs. O. O. Alcnderfcr and Berg Marten, second, 80 points; T. J. Fuson and Roy Pruitt, third, 79; Mrs. Lloyd Johnson and Mrs. H. J. Boyd, fourth, 73 points. East-west players who won places were Mrs. B. L. Sander son and Mrs. Paul McDuffee, first, 73 points: Mrs. George Dean and Mrs. F. R. Baker, sec ond, 68'i; Mrs. C. L. Howard and Mrs. Dolph Phipps, third, 64V2; Mrs. T. J. Fuson and Al Gilhousen, fourth, 64. older than she and there are relatively few unattached thirty year old men of both sound mind and body waiting to be chosen. This number decreases steadily, as the woman becomes older, es pecially in certain sections of the country. A woman must be unusually attractive, aggressive, wealthy, lucky or a combina tion of all if she manages to find and net a mate after her conventional marriage age. However, the case is not hope less. A woman who is sincerely interested in marriage should plan her campaign wisely and systematically. She must make herself as attractive as possible, mentally and physically. She must mingle with people and show and feel a genuine interest in them. She must not display too much timidity nor too much eagerness. If possible, she should seek employment where she meets men, and in her recreation hours, she should join groups which are "mixed." The Church, the Y, dancing groups, commun ity projects, hospital volunteer agencies, hobbies these are all focal points for getting together with other people. Loneliness besets all kinds of people, says a recent magazine article, but if a woman will keep herself fresh and sweet looking, and get busy doing something, where people can see her, she will not be lonely very long.

(U.fO James C Petrillo, international president of the American Fed eration of Musicians, returned to Chicago today with a vote of confidence from his union and a clearcut victory over a dissident Los Angeles local.

U.PJ Some plants are greener than others because they "inhale" better, University of Wisconsin scien tists think. The amount of chlorophyll In a plant determines its greenness, D. C. Cooper, G. H. Rieman and W. K. Smith knew. That led them to study the stomata or breathing pores of pale and green plants. . . They found that leaf parts that are pale have fewer or smaller stomata than the green portions of the same leaves or of all green leaves. They also learned that leaves which lose their green color have undergone a breakdown of the stomata. . The stomata "allow the leaf cells to breathe to exchange oxygen produced during photo synthesis for carbon dioxide in the air," the researchers said. When the stomata do not work properly, the gases don't go through the normal exchange, the chlorophyll stops its work and gradually disintegrates. That makes the leaf paler. ifed Bids To Serve Phoenix, Ariz. Washington iU.P.)
