Her new way includes her first TV try at dramatic acting Thursday she'll debut on NBC's "Lux Video .Theater," playing a school-teacher who turns ou. to be a vicious murderer quite a switch from the bouncy sing er who captured Broadway in "Pajama Game" and the movies in "Silk Stockings."

Monday, June 14, 1957 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE FIVE Bock Stairs: Burning Tree Unimpressive By PATRICIA WIGGINS United Press Correspondent Washington 1P Back stairs at the White House: The President's golf club. Bur ning Tree, may be the most ex clusive in Washington but it doesn't rate very high by some Texas standards. i tellers was Panama Ambassador Richardo Arias. Rep. George Mahon (D-Tex.) a club member, tells of taking a fellow Texan out to Burning Tree. Mahon thought his guest might be impressed on seeing the club where Eisenhower plays. The Texan was mighty disappointed. Seems the spartan furnishings of the small stone and brick club house failed to measure up to the clubhouse "we have back home." The Texan might have been impressed more by a stag party held there recently. Tables were set up around the first tee and white coated waiters tended to the wishes of the gathered "VIP" members. A highlight was a contest to see who could tell the best golf story. Vice President Richard M. Nixon and Deputy Attorney Gen eral William P. Rogers were the judges. One of the best story Washington's heat wave caus ed a lot of headaches for White House gardeners who have 10 acres of grass, 350 trees, and a multitude of flowers and shrubs to keep thriving. So far, chief gardener Rob ert Redmund reports, the grounds are "surviving pretty well." Sprinklers and 700 feet of irrigation pipe have been a boon to Redmund. Some of the' sprinklers have been going night and day neat the 132-year-old American elm planted by John Quincy Adams and the two handsome magnol ia trees planted by Andy Jack son. The government this year will be billed for all the water used in keeping the lawns green. The district government used to pick up the tab, but it recently installed meters. That's one reason all of the sprinklers and the irrigation pipe haven't been operating around the clock. Redmund's worried about the bill. Anne Wheaton, new associate White House press secretary, ha-j put her own interpretation on a Is familiar phrase "the lid on. The phrase is used at lunch time and at the end of the day when the White House press of ficials closes up shop temporar ily. Press Secreteary James C. Hagerty tells newsmen "the lid is on" meaning no more news will be given out until further notice. The other day. Anne announc ed "the lid is on" and hat she was going out to "get a new lid." Turned out she had an appoint ment with her hairdresser. Samovar VODKA Made from grain. 80 proof. Schenley Dist. Co., N. Y. C.

Main Medford Soon after sunup on-April 26, year 1607, three little ships of sail entered Chesapeake Bay.

From the goodly tall trees timbers and poles were hewn to raise a pali sade and the frame of James Fort a half-timbered house, Sack Loses Appeal To Supreme Court Salem TP Official notifica tion has been received by the State Supreme Court of the U.S. Supreme Court's rejection of an appeal by convicted wife-slayer George F.

Two Plane Crashes Claim II Lives; 14 Die in Canada By UNITED PRESS An airliner crashed with a heavy loss of life at Port Hardy. B.C.. Sunday, but another liner made an emergency belly land ing at Minneapolis without a scratch to its passengers or crew. At least 17 persons were Vtillcd in two plane wrecks Sunday. Nineteen other persons escaped unhurt in crash land ings Sunday and today. At Port Harty. 14 persons were killed when a Pacific West ern Airlines DC3 crashed short ly after take-off. Only four per sons survived the flaming crash. Stewardess Survives Among the survivors was Stewardess Pat Wilson. 23.

Grosse Isle, Mich., ditched the plane on a sandbar covered with 18 feet of water when the anniversary, which is being celebrated in a summer-long festival. This should become a Virginia shrine for tourists, closely akin to the "Plimoth Plantation" reconstruction, that is under way in Massachusetts. The Smithsonian Institution has displays of the earliest American houses and furniture, in the form of miniature mod els. The design and structure of the Colonial versions of the Eng lish half-timbered house are ac curately represented. A basic item is the "crotchet," hewed to hook frame and roof mem bers together. The English ax men of the expedition were as necessary to the establishment of Jamestown Colony as the sol diers of Captain John Smith and the sailors of Captain Newport. History and legend have to gether fixed impressions since childhood for most of us on the early history of Plymouth and Jamestown Colonies. The Pil grim Fathers live for us in the romance of Myles Standish. Pris cilla Mullen and John Alden, and bur hearts recall Pocha hontas. Captain John Smith, and John Rolfe. But in both places the true history was one of work, work without ceasing, first of all in the forest. There nature had stored wood to be hewn and shaped into shelter and gathered for fuel. Forest animals and fowl were sources of food and of not a little winter clothing and bedding. Through all the struggles of the early American years trees were the mainstay. Eventually, the virgin timber was harvested for many miles around both Plymouth and Jamestown. New crops grew into sawtimber, and were cut again. And again and again. The valley of the James is tree-farm country in 1957. This spring a forest fire threatened today's Plymouth and its popu lation of 14.000 persons. Only a providential rainstorm saved the community. Trees are the living tie that binds us to history in America. Manslaughter Charge Against Man Dropped Broadus. Mont. W Man slaughter charges against Keats Franklin. Pierre. S.
