Woman 'Gets Even' For Telephone Calls Portland OJ.PJ A Port land woman who doesn't like telephone solicitors calling her, decided to do something about it. For two days she retaliated by calling a downtown photo graphic studio that solicits a great deal of business by phone. Her calls to the studio came at regular clock work at five min ute intervals. Finally driven to desperation, the studio called police. They traced the call. When officers called at her home, the woman said "I just wanted those people to know how it feels to constantly get unwanted telephone calls." She agreed to quit making the calls, though, saying she al ready felt better. fry g'w.UJ' IlVef Monday, Deeember 17, 193B Schools to Present Special Yule Programs This Week McLoughlin Junior High school and Oak Grove element ary school will be among sev eral schools in Medford present ing Christmas programs this week.
