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.

'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.

Girls in Uniform
Same as Civilians
Washington (U.R) Lt. Col.
Mary L. Milligan, new director
of the Women's Army Corps,
said today girls in uniform are
"no different" than civilian
working girls.
And she said most men who
once didn't think so now accept
the fact.
Col. Millugan, formerly an
Edgewood, Pa., school teacher,
said with a smile that women
in khaki may develop certain
habits like strict military neat
ness to a "greater degree" than
some of their civilian sisters.
But she said there are "no major
differences."

gan Tuesday to succeed Col Irene

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.
A list of these selections,
books worthy to take their
places with the classics, has been
published in the form of a book
mark by the Children's Book
Council, a year-round informa
tion center on books for children.
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.
