Committee they are unable to help because of .insufficient time. If the sur vey shows a considerable num ber need help, the committee will consider where people can obtain aid. One such place might be a family services agency if such an agency existed in this community, committee members pointed out. ' Attorney Speaks At a recent meeting of the sub-committee studying need for .family help, Miss Noreen Kelly, Medford attorney, said many couples seeking divorce don't want one. 'They are really look ing for a chance to work oit their marriage problems," she said. She described the case of "Mary Smith", who thought her husband lacked consideration for her wishes and regarded the children as her responsibility to discipline and care for. As she talked to the attorney, consider able feeling for her husband came into her statements. She said he, too, was troubled by their differences. Idea Rejected Her hubsand would not accept her idea of going to a minister because he thought he would be "preached to" and admonish ed. Miss 'Kelly said this idea is not unusual and must be recog nized in this community, al though most ministers do an ef fective job of marital counsel ing along with their other duties. Mis Kelly, said a friendly, interested lawyer might be able to help "Mrs. Smith" and her husband, if "Mr. Smith" would not harbor resentment that she had contemplated divoree and yisited . a lawyer.

As liirmm Nichols speaKer or me House," he said, "I could have done more for the party than anywhere else." The Coolidge Thanksgiving menu in 1926 had roast Ver mont turkey, creamed boiled onions, sweet and mashed po tatoes, cranberries, peas, pump kin pie and ice cream, and coffee. Prices back there were what a man, even a president, could afford. Coffee was about half what it is today. But the newspaper headlines were about the same Western charges against Russian purges, and strife in Egypt. A small item that became known as the "Tea pot Dome," was an exception. The government.

The I'nited Press sent Aline Moshy to the area to record the boom.

Many a tour ist t h o u gh t Palm Springs already was as Aline Mosby big as it could get with, with 357 hotels, 1200 swimming pools and lavish homes for such celebrities as Frank Sinatra and Darryl F. Zanuck. Now the village of 12.225 shows sings of busting loose into a full-blown city of 50,000. Tracts Mushrooming Mansions of flagstones and glass are rising from the sand daily. Some lots that sold for S1500 four years ago are $15, 000 now; most lots have at least tripled in value. One tract of houses, selling for $40,000 and up, was sold out even before the concrete was poured. Stores, expensive trailer camps and new hotels are popping up. Romanoff's of Beverly Hills plans a restaurant here. Desi Arnaz and Lucille Ball head a group opening the Indian Wells Country Club, hotel and restaur ant Dec. 15. No Smog One reason for the growth ap pears to be millionaires such as oil George Cameron who are developing the area. He thinks smog and the expansion of Los Angeles is skyrocketing Palm Springs. Another reason for the boom is that some of the best land in Palm Springs, owned by the Agua Caliente Indians, now is for sale ( a nation-wide policy of the Indian Service which was somewhat of a controversery in the recent election). Handsome 40ish Cameron, who started from scratch as a wildcatter in Oklahoma and built himself a S30,000,000 for tune, has given the biggest boost to Palm Springs. He launched the town's third radio station (K1ES). He bought the weekly newspaper, the Desert Sun, a year ago and turned it into a thriving daily. "We were lucky to fill 10 pages then, now we print 16 and could print 24 if we had the newsprint," he said. But his biggest venture is Cam- vice-giving will not help.

"But what does your mommy call him," she persisted. The kid, being a kid, replied: "She doesn't call him anything she likes him." Mrs. Mary Maclntyre, a Wash ington area housewife, bought a new car the other day that cost over $4,000. It had every thing, power steering, power brakes, everything automatic. The lettering on the front end spelled out "Dseoto." On the back, it said "DeSoto." Mrs. Maclntire isn't going to do anything about it. Said she: "It makes a good conversation piece." The Texas and Pacific Rail road magazine has a cartoon in its latest edition. A high-hatted longhorn ranch er, hands behind his head, mouth open, is saying to the conductor: ! "Ticket, son?

The resident in their suntans, sequinned shoes and scquinned bathing suits are flocking to inspect one new house that's for sale. It features a waterfall in the living room, black marble floors, a television set that slides out of the ceiling and a parrot to match the decor. If you're interested, it's $250, 000, furnished. Switzerland To Pay Cost of UN Airlift Bern, Switzerland U.R) The Swiss government has announc ed it will pay the costs of the Swiss Airlines' airlift of U.N. emergency forces to the Suez Canal zone as its "contribution towards peace in the Near East.'

Texas Still Needs Coach Austin, Tex. 4U.R) The Uni versity of Texas was emphatic today that it was still shopping for a football coach and no one had yet been picked for the job. "Neither Bobby Dodd nor anyone else has been offered the position of athletic director and head football coach at the Uni versity of Texas," Dr. O. B. Wil liams, chairman of the Univer sity Athletic Council, said Mon day. Williams was quick to deny a report that Dodd, Georgia Tech coach, "will be" Texas' new coach and athletic director. But Williams admitted that Dodd "ranks high on our list."
