Historical Society Expresses Sorrow The Southern Oregon Histo rical Society, Inc.. following a recent meeting issued a resolu tion expressing sorrow at the death of Ralph Billings, an asso ciate of the group. In the resolution, the society noted Billings had been one of the founders of the society, a prime mover in establishment of the Jacksonville museum, "a devoted champion and tireless worker in its support," and at the time of his death was vice president of the society. The resolution further slated "... his death has left a great void in our midst, deep sorrow and a keen realization of a dis tinct loss to our community in general and to our society in particular . . . We express sorrow at the loss of our valued friend and associate and our sincere acknowledgment of the invalu able support and work he had contributed through the years. . " On The Side By E. V. Durling (Distributed by King Future Syndicate-, Inc.) Teacher Proves Old Wives Tale to Class Richwood. W. Va. (U.R) A Richwood High School teacher proved to the satisfaction of his biology students that an "old ' wives tale" regarding black snakes being immune to the poison of a rattlesnake is true. Edward Buck decided to per form the demonstration in front of his class so that, if the theory proved correct, witnesses would be on hand to vouch for it. He held the blacksnake while the rattler bit it twice. "About all that happened was the blacksnake got tense when it was bitten by the rattler," Buck said. After the demonstration the blacksnake was kept under close observation by the class. Several days later it showed no evidence of having suffered at all. Buck thinks blacksnakes have age-long immunity. Rogue River Resident Finishes Auction Course Homer Henderson of Rogue River recently arrived home from Decatur, Indiana, where he completed a course at the Rep pert School of Auctioneering. Bona fide sales were conducted as part of the instruction pro gram at the school. What does a brief case weigh? How about a woman's handbag? Anyway on transatlantic plane flights a man's brief case must be included in the 66 pound bag gage allowance. It has to be weighed, checked or unchecked. However, a woman's handbag is not included in her weight allow ance. No size limit as to said handbag is specified. I have seen women carrying handbags that are just as large as a brief case. Some even larger. Passing By Mae Murray. "The girl with the bee-stung lips." She was born in Virginia. Real name is Mae Koenig. Scored her first Broadway hit in "The Follies of 1908." That was the second fol lies show produced by Ziegfeld and, in addition to Miss Murray, the cast included Nora Bayes, Grace La Rue, Gertie Vanderbilt, Jack Norworth and Florence Walton. AUCTIONEERS There are probably only a half a dozen women auctioneers in the United States. The dean of feminine auctioneers is Emily Wahlenmeyer of Chicago who has been so engaged for more than 50 years. Incidentally, in Chicago an auctioneer's license costs $1,000 a year. All auc tioneers must be fingerprinted. The average commission for an auctioneer is 25 per cent. Asking Queries from clients. Q. Who is Madeline Hurlock-" A. She was a star in the silent film era.

'Seven United States presidents have died in office. Can you name them? If not, cease calling your self a well informed fellow. Please Note Some of our feminine sub scribers appear confused as to why hurricanes are given femi nine names. The United States weather ' bureau has explained that this policy was decided upon because "hurricanes like women are completely unpredictable." Horses and Women It is not fair or fitting to re fer to the manner in which Mari lyn Monroe walks as "a wiggle." So observes a deep student of feminine beauty, who says, "the Marilyn Monroe method of mov ing is charming for the right woman. It is mainly a matter of walking consciously from the hips. Many women make the mistake of walking from the knees an ugly and constricted movement." Asides Are you in business for your self? Are you making any money? If not. why not? The purchasing power of American consumers today is 92 per cent higher than in 1929 . ... . "A Technique For Producing Ideas" by James Young is a book those interested in the mail order busi ness might find very helpful.

(U.R) Digging fishing worms is one of the less desirable ways of making money from the soil, but Mrs. Louise Gering and her four children have developed it into a profit able business.- Worms have been a source of income in Mrs. Gering's family for three generations. Her par ents gave her the idea and now her children are old hands at the game. The Gering family supplies worms to a number of bait shops in this area, which is one of the better fishing spots of Oklahoma. Usually the shops buy 500 worms at a time, but Mrs. Ger ing recalls one day she had or ders for 1,300. "It's a pretty nice business, although lots of people would not pick up a worm," Mrs. Ger ing said. "It helps out lots of ways. Boys need spending money and that's how they manage to go to the movies or swimming. "Also," says the 48-year-old mother, "it gives them some thing worthwhile to do." The skin of the starfish is cov ered with delicate skin gills through which it absorbs oxygen from the water. To protect them, short heavy spines protect from the upper surface, as well as tiny claws or pincers. The Family Council Editor's note: The Family Council consist! of a Judge, a psychiatrist, three clergymen, a newspaper editor, a women's editor and two writers. Each article is a summary of an actual report. The Family Council does not give advice; it merely reports on problems that have been dealt with by responsible agencies and counselors. Mrs. B. H. J. My suspicions have. I don't think that what proved right. Sheila I don't want a forced marriage. ' ' Mrs. B. H. J. Some time ago I became suspicious of my 'daughter and her young man. I questioned him one day about their relationship. He denied that there was any basis for my suspicions, but stated that he would marry her if I felt he had ruined her reputation. I could not understand his at titude, so I then confronted my daughter with an accusation. To my surprise, she admitted at once that my suspicions were correct. When I told her that he was ready to marry her, she demanded to know by what right I had questioned him and interfered with her personal life. Moreover, she said she would neither marry him nor break off with him. I do not know what to do. Thus far, I have kept this from my husband, but it is too much for me to bear alone. I am afraid, however, that my hus band will turn her out of the house. Sheila My mother has in terested herself too late. She left us alone in the house time and again when she should -not has happened is a good basis for marriage. I do not want a husband who knows as much about my weaknesses as he does. I want a husband who both loves me and respects me. and I am afraid he does neither. Had my mother not in terfered, I was getting ready to break with him. I don't think I could love him, but had he pursued me on his own after I had broken with him, I might have decided to marry him. As it is, I cannot help feeling that he agreed to marry me only because he feared that we would make trouble for him if he did not agree. The Council: Sheila is right in her belated discovery that acts of weakness are not a good foundation for an enduring"1 re lationship. She is wrong in blam ing her predicament on her mo ther, for the weakness was her own. If she will but be fair, she will concede that she would have resented her mother had she not "trusted" her. We do not at all understand Sheila's unwillingness to break off with the young man if she does not wish to marry him. Since she admits that she might want to marry him if he were to pursue her on his own, her Court Records POLICE COURT Leonard Milton Williams, failure to stop at stop signal. $5.

Let her break off with him, and then see what happens. She may find that be does not want to give her up. Should he fail to' pursue her, she will at least have ended a relation ship that is morally wrong and can lead to no good end for her. Since her 1 main reason for objecting to a marriage with this young man is his awareness of her weakness, she still has the opportunity of demonstrat ing to him that she has the moral strength to rise above her weak ness. She should tell him that their relationship is wrong and must, therefore, end. (Copyright 19S6, General Features Corp.)
