(U.R) A special training program de signed to provide badly needed teachers at a faster rate than ever before is beginning its sec ond year of operation at the University of California here. The program enables students who have an A. B. degree to obtain secondary teaching credentials more quickly and for less expense. The speed-up plan, initiated last year, already has prepared 20 additional teachers for Calif ornia secondary schools. Train ing begins with 10 weeks of sum mer school, followed by a full year of teaching on a provisonial secondary credential. A second 10-week summer session at the end of the paid internship year completes the requirements. The program is similar to that in a number of other states, but it differs from them in that only students who intend to teach in secondary schools will be ad mitted to the program and that preference will be given those who wish to teach science, math ematics, home economics, phy sical education for girls, busi ness and other subjects in which there is the greatest shortage. By FAY BENTLEY "Ask for anything you wish and it shall be yours," said Apollo, the sun god to his earth ly son, Phaethon, who had just arrived at the palace for a short visit. "Oh father, let me drive the sun chariot just one day. Please," he added, sensing his parent's dismay. Apollo, in joy over seeing Phaethon had spoken rashly without due consideration of the boy's one great fault; the desire to always have his own way and a propensity to tease and tease until he got it. Skillful Control Of all the gods on Mt. Olym pus, only Apollo was skillful enough to control the fiery steeds vhich drew the chariot of the sun across the sky each day. No mortal could ever hope to i control these prancing horses whose very breath was a flame of fire. 'My son, you are much too young to undertake so great a responsibility. It is not safe. The steep and dangerous road is beset with terrible monsters. Sometimes it is even difficult for me to manage the horses." But the boy could not be dis suaded. He would not listen when his father tried to reason with him. "This is the only thing I want and you said I could have what ever I wished," he pouted. Headstrong Lad In sadness and fear for the headstrong lad Apollo finally consented to let him try one trip across the heavens. "You must be careful and keep to the middle path, my son. If you go too high the heavens may catch on fire; if too low the earth will be scorched." After a troubled night, Apollo covered Phaethon with a magic oil to prevent the sun from burning him, harnessed the horses to the sparkling chariot and commanded the gates of dawn to be opened. The boy stepped happily into the blazing, jewel-decked char iot, picked up the reins and whip and released the impatient ly waiting animals. Unmanageable For a short time all went well as the horses pulled the heavy load up the steep grade toward the dome of the heavens. Then realizing that the reins were held in unfamiliar hands, they became unmanageable. As they shied away from Tau rus the Bull, Orion's two dogs began barking loudly. This so frightened the high-spirited steeds they broke into a gallop, and ran even faster when they sighted the Lion. Clinging desperately to the reins, Phaethon had succeeded, up to this time, in keeping the chariot from overturning. But when he saw the great Scorpion stretching out his tremendous claws and lashing at the chariot An average bathtub has a 45 gal. capacity. Announce New Way To Shrink Painful Piles Science Finds Healing Substance That Does Both Relieves Pain Shrinks Hemorrhoids In York. S. Y. (SptcUl) For the first time science has found a new healing substance with the astonish ing ability to shrink hemorrhoids and to relieve pain without surjrery. In case after case, while gently relieving pain, actual reduction (shrinkage) took place. Most amazing of all results were 80 thorough that sufferers made astonishing statements like "Piles have ceased to be a problem!"

PL Ott. with his poisonous tail, he drop ped the reins in terror. The now driverless horses ran madly down the hills of heaven until they approached the earth so closely it was scorched and great deserts were formed. The waters became so hot that old Neptune, god of the sea, shouted angrily to Jupiter, king of the team!" ' Hurls Thunderbolt Jupiter then hurled a thunder bolt at Phaethon who fell head long from the chariot in the river Eridanus, from which his body was never recovered. In mem ory of this sad event, Jupiter placed the river in the sky. Eridanus, The River, is a brok en line of 11 rather dim stars that extend from a point just to the right of the bright star Rigel in Orion to a point on the horizon almost directly beneath the brilliant blue-white Rigel. During the middle of February, Eridanus will be almost due south by 7 p.m. but moves to the west as winter progresses. Orion high in the sky and slightly east of due south at 7 p.m. is easily recognized by the slanted line of three stars evenly spaced and of equal brightness which form the belt. Rigel is the brightest star below the belt in this constellation and forms the left foot of The Mighty Hunter. As we face Orion, brightest of all constellations, by looking a little to the right or west, we can locate the fainter stars in The River leading from the bril liant Orion to the horizon. Monday, February 18, 1957 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE ELEVEN On The Side By E. V. Durling (Distributed by King Features Syndicate, Inc.) In New York, the world's largest and greatest city, the fares on the subway and buses rhave been tripled in the past 25 years. In the meanwhile, the taxicab rates have remained al most the same. Is it, therefore any wonder, that the taxi driv ers of the Big Town are unable to acquire a living income if they do not get tips? Or that the operators of taxicab fleets are unable to pay their drivers a liv ing wage? The solution seems simple. Double the taxicab rates. Let the operators then guaran tee the drivers a definite daily wage. Let the passengers con tinue to tip despite the increase but only for special services be yond the line of the driver's duty. That is all about taxi driv ers for today. And tomorrow, too. Passing By Michael King. Very clever singing actor.
