(International) Guy Mitchell No Longer Singing Blues; Hit Record Starts Him On Way To Top By WILLIAM EWALD United Press Correspondent New York U.R Guy Mitchell, almost dead broke a year ago, no longer is singing the blues. "I won't kid you, last year at this time I had really come on hard times," said Mitchell as he dived into a whopping salad of tuna fish, cottage cheese and mixed greens. "Bookings? They were awful. I had a real slump there. It was rotten. And I had come out of a law suit almost broke it real ly drained me. Luck Turned "Over a period of about a year. I had only one record you could call even a little hit, '99 Years.' And it just made me enough money to meet my ob ligations." That was the picture until re cently, continued Mitchell. "First, last fall, I decided to get married," he said. I had just 1 Mitchell. "And it really took off S2.000 in the bank, which be lieve me, is cutting it pretty thin for an entertainer. Her name was Else Sorensen and I had met her in Vancouver. "Well, I got this booking at a hotel in Atlanta and they were wonderful to us. Gave us a suite with flowers and everything. "And then things really started breaking when this fel low, Monte King, who works for Columbia down there, called a record to the attention of Mitch Miller and myself." The rerord was Marty Robbins "Singing The BlueS,". a number which was beginning to move fast in the country field. Miller, the bearded artists - and - reper toire chief at Columbia Records heard it and s-o-s'd Mitchell into New York. Ovar lha Top .

Polio Mother Of Year Chosen New York (U.R) The Nation al Foundation for Infantile Paralysis today named Mrs. David Phillips, 33. Los Gatos, Calif., as the "Polio Mother of the year." Mrs. Phillips, wife of a United Air Lines pilot, has three chil dren, all of whom also were victims of the disease. Mrs. Phil lips, who was stricken Oct. 13, 1P51, spent one year confined to a respirator and two years hospitalized. She was paralyzed from the neck down, but today is sufficiently recovered to do some of her housework and to garden. The children, Eugene, 14; Tommy, 9, and Lani Sue, 7, be came ill the same year as their mother, but were less seriously affected. . Pretty, auburn-haired Mrs. Phillips and her family came to New York this week as guests of the foundation. She was hon ored today with a lunch at the Waldorf-Astoria, and presenta tion of a plaque. She will act as honorary chairman of the found ation's annual fund raising cam paign, the "Mothers' March on Polio." WORSE THAN EVER Honolulu U.R) Robert Owens sued a hair clinic for 55,600 Tuesday because he said a toupee made him look "ridicu lous." He charged that the tou pee which the clinic sold him looks so "unrealistic" a stranger came up to him on the street and said, "Take that thing off" and that when he took it off, he looked worse than ever "be cause I had acquired a good tan below the toupee."

V My daughter Is sneaky. Sandra V. Mother is always against me. Mrs. K. V. I am a widow with four children and I am do- t ing my best to bring them up right, but my oldest daughter is a terrible problem. I can't seem to manage her at all and she is very sneaky. Sandra is now 17 and I know for a fact that for the past two years she has been smoking in secret although she made me a promise never to smoke. Then, she started going steady with a boy two years ago. I told her she must break it up because she was much too young, but she continued to see him anyway. After a while, I got to know this boy and I saw that he was very nice and I didn't mind Sandra's seeing him. Then Sandra took a part-time job. At this place she met a man she likes and she wants to give up this very nice boy. I told her she is being very un fair to Johnny, who is really in love with her and wants to marry her. She pays no atten tion to me and has been going, out secretly with this new man about whom I know nothing. I just don't know what to do with her. She is so headstrong. Sandra V. I guess my mother is right. I'm just headstrong. It's true about the smoking. I made my mother a promise, but all my friends smoke and I wanted to try it too. I've only done it a few times. She's right about Johnny too. I know I'm being unfair, but I can't help it. When I started go ing out with him, I had a very good time, but now I don't en joy it any more. He's really such a kid. At the factory where I have been working I met older boys and I like them much bet ter. The one I have been seeing is 23 and is the nicest fellow I have ever known. I don't want to be sneaky, but it seems as though my mother is ' always against me. She didn't even want me to take the part- time job, but now she sees that the extra money is a big help to all of us. My mother is very ner vous and always thinks I'm going to do something terrible, but I have never gotten into any trouble and have done nothing j very wrong even though I j don't always tell the truth. 1 '- The Council: Sandra seems to have a reasonable point. Her mother is too nervous and has too many fears for her welfare. She sets too many rigid rules i and Sandra is forced into being "sneaky" by her need for ex perience and independence. , Mrs. K. V. relied too strongly on her rigid rule tgainst smok ing. She should, instead, have discussed the general problem of smoking and its relation to health and Sandra's general wel fare. If she understpod the rea sons why her mother is opposed to smoking, Sandra would prob ably have been much more in clined to accept her mother's point of view as her own. The rule against going steady was also too rigid. Now Mrs. K. V. sees there was little harm in Sandra's dating, but she wants to hold her down to a pattern that she now sees was safe. Sandra has, however, quite naturally outgrown both this stage and her boy friend. Mrs. K. V. should accept that as na tural and should ask to meet her daughter's new boy friend. In this way she will be able to in fluence and guide Sandra. Sandra is basically neither headstrong nor sneaky. She's just a normal .girl growing up and her mother should view each stage with interest rather than alarm. If she knows she can ex pect friendly interest from her mother, Sandra will begin to tell the truth. (Copyright 1957. General Features Corp.)

January 23, 193V MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THREB fMr. Powerhouse' Man To Watch In Britain's New Government London U.R) The man to ! atomic eapactiy. The $2 billion watch in Britain's new govern ment is "Lord Powerhouse." His mission is revolution. His orders are to pilot Britain full-speed into the atomic age so this island will no longer depend so heavily on the Suez Canal and Middle Eastern oil. It is an urgent race for survival. Foreign policy, defense policy, trade policy in fact, Britain's whole future are wrapped up in the mission of Prime Minister Harold Macmillan assigned to his new minister of power. " Going Business His name is Sir Percy Mills. It will change soon. He had to be appointed to the House of Lords to enter the cabinet. But before he could choose his new title, Britons dubbed him, "Lord Powerhouse." When Macmillan called him to the cabinet, Mills, a square jawed engineering tycoon, was on his. way at 6 a jn. the next day ana at work before eight. Atomic power already is a going business in Britain. The world's first full-scale uranium powered electric power plant started pushing kilowatts into the national electricity system last October. It is pronounced a success. . But with Middle East oil doubtful and America literally shipping dollar-costly coals to Newcastle to bolster ' Britain's sagging output the country needs all the power plants it can build. Government sources say Mills' first move will be the announce ment of new target of from 16 to 19 nuclear plants by 1965 with a total .output of 6,000 to 7,000 megawatts compared to the 1,000-2,000 megawatts originally hoped for. , One thousand megawatts alone is a lot of electricity enough to light a million homes. One thou sand megawatts would provide the power needed to light about half the homes in Britain. Even so, the atom plants in 1965 would produce only a frac tion of Britain's power needs. The demand for power eight years hence is expected to be al most five times the planned expansion program will bring British Children To Gel Salk Vaccine London (U.R) Thousands of Britons were expected today to register their children for ! meet polio shots now that Queen El izabeth has announced her two children had been inoculated with Britain's Salk-type vaccine. Many British parents had avoided registering their chil dren for the shots until they learned what the royal family would do. Tuesday's Buckingham palace announcement that Prince Charles, 8. and Princess Anne, 5, had received injections was expected to do more than any medical proof in convincing the doubtful parents that their youngsters should be given the vaccine. the power provided by a month's coal digging in 1956. Atomic Power Costlr Over the years, atomic power' should cost about one-third the price of coal and oil. But it now costs twice as much to get the same power from an atomic sta tion as a coal-fired one. The atomic power plants cannot yet be speeded up economically to peak load periods like sundown. Mills has experience as board chairman of two big engineering firms, director of a dozen com panies, a wartime production of ficial and advisor to Macmillan in Britain's big house-building splurge in 1951. ' One of his companies helped put up the Calder Hall Station. Its builders expected it to be shut down 20 per cent of the first few months for checks, re pairs and growing pairs. It's been shut only half the expected time. A burst fuel element caused a one-day shutdown in late November but there have been no major hitches. a triEsteA OME DINER Tbt only Astra Dome between the Northwest and Chicago.
