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. . "

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. First
with Mack Scnnett. Then with
Cecil B. De Mille. She married
Robert E. Sherwood, the play
wright and retired from the
screen . . . Q. Who wrote the
song titled "Where Is My Little
Dog Gone"? A. Septimus Winner.
He also wrote the ditty titled
"Listen To The Mocking Bird."
Ar.d that touching ballad called
"What Is Home Without a Mother?"

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.
Heart Throb's Wife
Rossano Brazzi, the 38-year-old
Italian heart throb, who
scored such a hit in the film
tilled "Summertime." is a mar
ried man. So you knew that?
Did you know that his wife
weighs 224 pounds?

Harvard, Yalef Ohio
State Tops in Funds
Washington (U.R) Harvard
Yale, and Ohio State led the
nation's universities in the total
number of contributors to their

The American Alumni Coun
cil said, "out of 391 funds report
ing," Harvard University was
first with 33,759 old grads con
tributing $1,653,569.
At Yale, 27,502 alumni gave
$1,302,324.
Former students of the Ohio

The AAC survey showed that
the University of Notre Dame
ranked second in the amount of
money $1,557,625 donated by
its alumni. But Notre Dame
came in tenth place numerically,
with 12,878 alumni answering
the call.
In the percentage of alumni
contributors, Dartmouth College
and Princeton University tied
for first place with 69.4 per cent.
Harvard. Yale, Ohio Slate and
Notre Dame didn't show in that
category.

Fish Worm Digging
Makes Good Business
Miami, Okla. (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

mother's "interference" does not
make it too late to find out. 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.
