Repairs Begin On Main Pipeline A two-man city water depart ment crew started repair work last Thursday on Medford's main pipeline running 30 miles from Big Butte Springs to the reser voir on Capital Hill, Medford, according to Robert Lee, water superintendent. The work consists of remov Ing. about 79 air valves on the pipeline, Lee laid. About 20 are taken to city work shops each day where they are cleaned and returned about one or two days later, he said. Becausef recent bad weather the work will not be completed until next week. Normal flow of the pipeline la about 12 million gallons of water per day, Lee said, but it has been reduced to It million because of plugged air valves. Cleaning pipeline valves is done about every two years. The water superintendent said the repair work is the reason tome Medford water users have recently found air In their water pipes.

FOX United Press Correspondent New York '(U.R) Madison Avenue has passed some near miracles in its young life, but it surpassed even itself when it sold 32,500,000 bottles of vodka the Russian national drink last year to Americans. The Smirnoff Co. of Hartford, Conn., got the bear's share. It upped 1946 sales of 100,000 bot tles to 24,000,000 in 1956 with a slogan and Salvadore Dali-ish paintings of tuxedo attired gen tlemen perched on the limbs of cactus plants. The catch-phrase was: "It leaves you breathless." How many people tested its validity on their wives and bosses may never be known, but it was effec tive. The slogan has been drop ped now, largley because of pro tests from other; liquor manufac turers and from the WCTU. Milton Goodman, head of the Gumbinner Agency with the Smirnoff account, doesn't think the slogan was the key to suc cess. Here is how he explains it: "The basic appeal was that vodka made delicious drinks. Most people don't like the taste of the alcoholic substance in their drinks. But with vodka you taste only the orange juice -in a screwdriver, the tomato juice in a bloody mary, the vermouth in a martini. American Drink "Main problem was to over come the Communist associa tion. We considered emphasiz ing that it was the drink of the czars, but we decided most peo ple shudder when they think of what happened to the last czar. So we decided to picture it as a The Family Council Editor' not: The Family Council consists of a Judge, psychiatrist, three clergymen, a newspaper editor, a women's editor and two writers.

FILES LIBEL SUIT Portland U.R Stanley W. Earl, Portland city commission er, has filed in Circuit Court a libel suit asking S250.000 gen eral damages and 5250,000 puni tive damages against members of Oregon Joint Council of Teamsters No. 37 and the editor of the Oregon Teamster, a week ly publication. Floyd L. I can't look at her every evening of the week. Cora L. I am a woman in my mid-30s, recently married to the great love of my life. The trou ble is that now we are married we are not at all happy together, I was a divorcee and have a son of 12. When I met Floyd he was also married, but we fell head over heels in love. We had an affair that lasted six full year's before his wife was willing to give in to a divorce. Naturally, I expected that we would be supremely happy once we were married. I am a home body and want more children. Floyd says we have enough re sponsibility as it is. He wants to go out every night of the week. When I don't want to go with him. he goes alone. We quarrel constantly, although we never had a fight in all the years be fore we were married. I just can't understand it. Floyd L. After six years of sneaking and hiding, I want very much to come out in the 'open. I want the world to meet my wife. I want to socialize with other couples, to go places and do things with them. I love Cora, but I can't just sit and look at her every evening of the week. She doesn't see things that way. She is very anti-social. She doesn't get along well with peo ple and doesn't like them. I never realized that until now. It neve occurred to me that Cora would want more children. How many can I support? I have three children by my first wife and those cost plenty. Anyway, how can we have children when it looks as though our marriage is a failure? The Council Some individu als find great pleasure in the knowledge that their sexual af fairs are illicit. When this child ish pleasure in rebellion for its own sake is taken away, they find themselves with nothing. The emotional thrill was all in the secrecy and defiance, perhaps in spiting another person. This is what has happened to Cora and Floyd. In six years of intimacy they didn't bother to learn much about one another. Apparently, they never even dis- W- USADDIdD AND SMALL APPLIANCES EttELRMIffi!

In the past, Cora, as an "anti social" person, got the additional benefit of being safe from social izing. If she wishes to make a go of this marriage, she'll have to come out of her shell and join Floyd in a reasonable amount of social activity. On the .other hand, Floyd should recognize his need to go out 'every night of the week" suggests boredom with his wife. He needs to get to know her. This is something he has prob ably fled from in the past. In both his marriage and the extra marital relationship. If he gets to know and really love Cora, he may decide he would like to have children with her despite the heavier finan cial burden. Right now, he seems to be in too much of a hurry to dub this marriage a "failure." (Copyright 1957, General Features Corp.)

"We got the most gifted artists to do pictures that had the qual ity of paintings. One artist told me they had a Chinese quality we got provocative poses, in teresting people to pose for us. We were successful." An equally fabulous Madison Avenue feat has been that of "The Man from Schweppes." Cmdr. Edward Whitehead, form er Royal Navy officer, assistant to Sir Stafford Cripps, came here in 1953 as head of the American subsidiary. David Ogilvy, one of the crea tive geniuses of Madison Ave nue, persuaded him "over my dead body" that a combination of his urbanity and his beard, posed in scens of high living and good taste, would sell a lot of quinine water. Ogilvy was right. Schweppes is now selling 2,000 bottles of its tonic for every one it sold be- .fOre Whitehead arrived. Ogilvy's agency is the game one that distinguished the Hath away shirt in the person of a gentleman with a black e y.e patch. Masculinity Needed Marlboro c i g a rettes had a puzzler. It wasn't getting mass sales with its long established ivory tipped product because they had the reputation of be ing designed for ladies. Ad man ager Perry Leary said they de cided on a bold approach to sell a new, corkencased filter brand. "We decided to use the tattoo as a symbol to masculinize our product," he explained. "We got the inspiration from a line by Jack London which went some thing like this: "If you see a man with a tattoo follow him, for he will lead you to romance." The tattoo became any eye catcher on the hands and arms of the rough hewn men who began showing in the Marlboro ads. In two years sales went from scratch to fourth in the filt er field. Revlon cosmetics scored the most sensational coup in televi sion advertising when it came up with "The $64,000 Question." Its sales went from $30 million in 1954, to $51 million in 1955, to $85.7 million last year. Tomorrow: What the Madison Avenue Type is Really Like. $050 Pint $190 M " u- P p.. Samovar fcJT fine!.
