' Medford, Oregon On The Side By E. V. DURUNO (Distributed by King Feature Syndicate. Inc.) Every morning during break fast, in front of the fireplace, we have a little music with the meal by playing some of our favorite records. Gets the day off to a good start. What I consider one of the most remarkable records of all time is "Show Biz" and in cludes the actual voices of all the great entertainers and bands of the years from 1904 to 1954, inclusive. This record really carries you down Memory Lane. It is a good record collection on one record. Here are some of the singers you hear: Caruso, Fannie Brice, Nora Bayes and Jack Norworth, The Happiness Boys, Gene Austin, Bing Crosby, Perry Como, Helen Kane, Helen Morgan, Morton Downey, Bea Lillie, Sophie Tucker, Kate Smith, Hildegarde, Ezio Pinza and Danny Kaye. You hear the original Dixieland Jazz Band and the bands of Ted Lewis, Paul Whiteman and Glenn Mil ler. You hear Cole Porter sing ing and playing one of his songs. Also George Gershwin at the piano. You hear dialogue by Will Rogers, George M. Cohan and Smith and Dale. All this in terspersed with comment' by that most brilliant of all Broad way narrators, Georgie Jessel. Getting Rich Do you want to get rich? Are you doing anything about it or do you just dream you may some day be an Irish Sweepstakes winner or get the top prize in the Agua Calisnte race track's "five and ten" pool? From time to time I am going to tell you how some fellows acquired great wealth. As for example, there was that fellow who learned in advance where Henry Ford was going to build an automobile manufacturing plant and bought up real estate in the vicinity. This he sold later at a huge prof it and became a millionaire. This reminds me that the Edison Company plans building a plant near Oxnard, Calif. Love Letters Most great love letters are written by men. However, now and then some woman displays some talent as a romantic corres pondent. As for example, Sarah Bernhardt, who was a brilliant writer of love letters. It was Sarah who wrote to a lover, "Paris without you, darling, is like a clock without hands." Asking Queries from clients. Q. Who was the originator of the saying, "the first fine careless rapture" and in what connection was it used? A. It is by Browning. The passage in which it occurs is from the - poem titled "Home Thoughts From Abroad" and goes as follows: "That's the wise thrush; He sings each song twice over. Lest you should think He never, could recapture The first fine careless rapture." Horses and Women As previously said, being en gaged in an effort to understand women, I take careful note of grounds for divorce offered by females. In Chicago a woman seeking a divorce bitterly com plained that her husband fre quently took her over his knee and spanked her. She weighed 250 pounds. The husband weighed 160 pounds.

John Fuiten of the Assem bly of God church spoke at the special service. One number was given by the volunteer choir. Regular services were held later at both churches. The Rev. John Fuiten officiated at the As sembly of God church and the Rev. Howard Simmonds offici ated at the Community church. The annual Easter egg hunt held at the City Park was a suc cess. Children were put into three groups; one through four, five through eight, and nine through 12. There was a prize egg for each group and a prize for the child finding the most eggs in his group. Winners of prize eggs were David Ellefson, Floyd Smith and Plumber Burns to Death in Portland Portland U.R) Alvin E. Cozine, a 25-year-old Portland plumber, burned to death early Saturday and his two children were injured in a fire which bad ly damaged their home. Police credited the quick ac- t i o n of Special Patrolman George Session for saving the children. Sisson was cruising in the area when he smelled smoke which he traced to the Cozine home. He pounded on the door but got no response. He called firemen who broke in and rescued the children, Cheryle Ann, 5 months, and Deb rah, 2Va years. They were tak en to Emanuel hospital. Officers said they had been overcome by smoke. Firemen found Cozine's body in the kitchen where he had col lapsed in an apparent attempt to fight his way out of the house. Mrs. Cozine had left to take a baby sitter home and she didn't return until the children were being put in an ambulance. man! But how did he get his plump wife over his knee? Simplicity It seems that every day the public prints report that some body somewhere is trying to break a will. The more simply worded a will is the more diffi cult it is to break. As for exam ple, the following will in which a very wealthy man left every thing to his daughter. It read: "All that is mine when I am dead. Goes to Jessie Enough said."
