GRAPE , PH. 3-1971 Daily's U-Drive Medford Airport On The Side (Distributed by King To celebrate the birth of the Princess of Monaco there was fired a 21-gnn salute. If the in fant had been a boy a 101 gun salute would have been fired. This reflection on the relative importance of a male and femaie of royal birth should have the indignant attention of all those interested in rights for women. Ask your wife what she thinks of it. After all some, of the great est ruling monarchs of all time have been women. As for examples, the first Queen Eliza beth of England, Catherine the Great of Russia and Queen Vic toria of England. Please Note Next to France in what coun try is tiie most cognac consum ed? It is Great Britain. The Un ited States is second in that re spect. The British do not con sume cognac in a spirit of gaiety. Or for the purpose of inspiring relaxation after dinner. They use it for medical purposes. As a cure or preventive for the common cold and other afflic tions caused by Britain's damp and chilly climate. Models Manhattan dress models most in demand are those over 5 feet, 6, weighing about 120 and hav ing a 23 waist. Having hollow cheeks is an advantage. Lack ing hollow cheeks a model's face is likely to have a slightly fat look when photographed. Remembering Are you a Young Old Timer? How is your memory for motor cars of the yesteryear? Do you recall one called the "Octo Au to"? It had eight wheels. Was manufactured in Columbus, Ind. Same company made another car called the "Sexto Auto." It had six wheels. It is strange that the tire manufacturers didn't get behind these cars and keep them on the market. School How old were you on the oc casion of your first day at school. I was six. I was scared.

Casting So Bing Crosby is to portray Damon Runyon in a film version of the great newspaperman's life. I can't see this casting. To a film audience, Bing Crosby will always be Bing Crosby no matter who he is supposed to be portraying. I favor an unknown for the part. Then the viewers will have a feeling he is really Runyon. That they are seeing some pages from the remarkable life of a very remarkable fel low. Remember the film titiled "The Jolson Story"? Suppose Crosby had played Jolson. It would have been more confus ing than convincing. Larry Parks, then practically unknown played Jolson and the result was one of the most moving of mov ing pictures of all time. Asides In what state can be found the most, amateur fishermen? It must be Minnesota. In that state, which points with pride to its possession, of 10,000 lakes, more than 50 per cent of the popula tion have fishing licenses ... A New Englander, the mother of seven daughters, named them all after flowers as follows: Rose, Acacia, Daisy, Violet, Lily, Mig nonette and Marigold. Of these names I like Mignonette the best and Daisy the least. ilia To Select Successor To Mann Salem (U.R) Secretary of State Mark Hatfield " today in structed the Umatilla county court to convene Friday at 10 a.m. to select a successor to Rep.
