I suggest the in quirer take this up with his family physician. Many men of medicine consider these pills dangerous. Not to the one tak ing them but to other people. As for example, taking Tranquiliz ing pills can cause the driver of an autombile to fall asleep at the wheel. - Asides Sign noted on Fourth ave., Manhattan, Tonsorial Parlor: "Haircut Sixty cents.

Durlinq Features Syndicate, Inc.) with freckles is the most In teresting of all dates that include moonlight strolls. Horses and Women What was the girl you mar ried wearing when you proposed to her? Have you done any wo man a great favor lately? What was she wearing when she asked your aid? Our horses and wo men experts during the course of their research have come across a claim that when a smart woman wants to strongly influence a man she wears what our feminine friends and rela tives call "A Little Black Dress." I thought it was a red dress, or a watermelon pink dress that women wore on these occasions. I have asked our experts to check this claim thoroughly. In the meanwhile, gentlemen, when a woman you know calls on you or meets you by appointment somewhere, be on your guard if she is wearing a little black dress. Asking Queries from clients. Q. Did you claim there are more peo ple named Smith in Scotland than there are those named Mac Donald? A. Yes, sir. About 20, 000 more. Eighty thousand Smiths. Sixty thousand Mac- Donalds. Q. Where are the fol lowing places in New York City? 1. "Dead Man's Curve." 2. "Dead heads Hill." A. The places you mention are of the past. "Dead Malt's Curve" was at I4th st. and Union Square. A curve in the cable car line made it im possible for the motorman to stop the car until he had rounded it. Several people were killed there as a result. "Deadheads Hill" was above the Polo Grounds. From that point base ball games played by the New York Giants could be seen for free. However, you couldn't see the batter. Only from the pitch er's box to outfield. "Deadheads Hill" was officially known as "Coogan's Bluff." Very .Simple An interviewer asked Briget- te Bardot, the French film star, why she had separated from her husband. Answered Brigette: "Why did I separate from my husband? That is very simple. I fell in love with another man, That's why." Those Stockings Haven't had any complaints from our feminine subscribers lately as- to the quality of nylon Hosiery. Nor have I recently seen any females with runs in their stockings. Is nylon hosiery getting better or have the wo men finally learned how to take Care of it? Ashland-Talent Drive Reaches About $7,630 Ashland About $7,630.32 has been collected so far for the Ashland - Talent Youth Fund drive, according to Allan Harris drive chairman. The board of directors recent ly discussed the feasibility of changing the name in future years to the United Plan. Ken Jones, president of the board, explained that by changing to the United Plan Ashland and Talent would have to raise over $20,000. This would not include several agencies that are not under the plan. The board decided to continue with the Ashland-Talent Fund drive, to take care of the needs of the local youth .groups first. Dr. Elmo Stevenson and Archie Fries were appointed by Jones to select new board members to fill vacancies on the board. SEVERSON'S I West Wednesday. November 28. 1956 'Distress' Selling Cuts Lumber Prices Portland (U.R) "Distress" selling of carloads of lumber shipped eastward last week has lowered prices for Douglas fir green dimension to the lowest level in more than two years, officials said today. Lumber trade sources said enough transit shipments were en route from the Pacific North west to the Midwest and eastern markets to depress prices still lower as new trains arrived at railroad diversion points later this week. The slump came in the wake of weeks of slow marketing and gradually softening prices at tributed to cold weather halt of eastern construction and slow retail yard buying to reduce year-end inventories. The S62 to $64 level for two-by-four standard or better grade Douglas fir random lengths was the lowest since April-May of 1954 when these items sold for as low as S60. Corvallis Club To Fight Slot Charges Corvallis U.R) Leo Herb, manager of the Corvallis Coun try Club, said today he would fight charges of illegal posses sion of slot machines. Herb said he would plead in nocent of the three charges filed by state police following a raid at the club Saturday afternoon. State officers led by Sgt. J. C. Darby of Salem seized three "one-armed bandits" at the club. Herb said he would fight the charges on the grounds that the officers entered the club prop erty without a warrant Sgt. Darby said the raid was made after police had received infor mation the slots were in opera tion. He did not disclose his source of information. Vhole Family Gets Breaks in Accidents Portland U.PJ Radio station technician Don Zundel said to day that he guessed this just wasn't his lucky season. Last month Zundel and his daughter, Annette, 14, were in an auto accident. He suffered broken ribs and torn shoulder ligaments. She suffered a bro ken leg. Then Sheri Lynn, 7, another daughter, broke an arm while playing. Paul, his 11-year-old son, broke his arm while play ing football. Finally, Zundel's wife tripped over a toy and suffered a broken toe.

Per 64" 57 News About Books From the Library Parents, grandparents, and other interested adults who visit the Children's Book Week dis plays at the Medford Public library this week will find many of their own childhood favorites on exhibit. Children's classics such as "Little Women," "Tom Sawyer," and "Alice's Adventures in Won derland" are still loved by young readers. "Heidi," "Little Black Sambo," "Pinocchio," and Win nie the Pooh" are book com panions that are cherished today just as they were a generation ago. However, according to child ren's librarians, adult booklovers are too prone to cling to their own old favorites when selecting gifts and library books for child ren and not' to realize that re cent years have produced books equal to those in literary quality. Two Awards The Children's Library as sociation of the American Li brary association each year makes two awards for disting uished contributions to American Literature, the Caldecott worthy to take their places with the clas sics, has been published in the form of a bookmark by the Caldecott and Newberry Medals.

These bookmarks will be avail able to visitors who attend the Book Week observance at the Medford Public library or other Jackson County library agencies. the books themselves are also included in a special display at county library headquarters, and each branch agency has received a share of the prize-winning selection.
