On The Side
(Distributed by King
New York has a higher per
centage of fatal accidents involv
ing pedestrians and vehicles than
any other city in the country.
To understand why, all you have
to do is to ride a couple of miles
in a taxicab in Manhattan. You
will then view the world's wild
est jaywalkers. The pedestrians
are chiefly responsible for the
aforementioned situation. There
should be a heavy fine for jay
walking in all cities. In Pasa
dena Calif., the fine for the first
jaywalking is $10. A second of
fense calls for a fine plus a jail
sentence. There is very little
jaywalking in Pasadena.
Among Iho Married
British actor Michael Wilding
recently said that Elizabeth Tay
lor proposed to him. Not only
that, he said he turned the beau
tiful Liz down, saying she was
"too young" for him. Evidently
Miss Taylor refused to take "no"
for an answer. That the union
ended in divorce is quite a blow
to the claim that when the girl
proposes the marriage is usually
a success. The theory is that hav
ing made the suggestion the girl
extends every effort to prove it
was a good idea.
Kissing
Spanish girls are noted for the
itensity of their osculation. But
how about the Greeks? Discus
sing this situation, Melina Mer
couri, highly glamorous Greek
film actress, said, "With us
Greeks a kiss is an explosion;
there is no such thing as a good

Queries from clients. Q. Is
Dorothy Dickson, a British or
an American actress? A. Dorothy
was born in Kansas City, Mo.
She began her theatrical career
in this country but has been a
resident of London and a British
stage star for over 30 years. Q.
There never has been a boxing
champion of Chinese birth or
descent. Why? A. The Chinese
are not very athletic. Offhand I
cannt think of a Chinese being
an outstanding figure in any ma
jor sport. On the other hand
there have been some great Jap
anese athletes. As for example,
Yoshio Shirai. recent flyweight
boxing champion of the world.
Please Note
"Girl Jumps from Twenty
Fourth Story. Disappointed in
Love Affair." So reads a recent
newspaper headline. The girl
was a brunette. More confirma
tion of the claim that when a
blonde is jilted she shoots her
lover. When a brunette is jilted
she tries to kill herself. Once
more, I urge fellows among our
subscribers to keep this in mind.

LIVE OAK GRANGE
An interesting and informa
tive report of Henry Corbin's
trip to Hawaii was read by Jes
sie Frantz at the last meeting of
Live Oak Grange in Rogue
River July 11. Sorbin made the
trip with other Grangers last
May and his experiences were
entertaining.
Agricultural Chairman Ray
Frantz stated that egg prices had
started to advance, and that the
price of hens should also ad
vance soon. Hog and cattle
prices remained about the same.
Larry Sheehan, legislative
chairman, spoke on the meas
ures which will be pn the ballot
in the 1958 election as announc
ed by Attorney General Robert
Y. Thornton. He stressed par
ticularly the ones of interest to
the farmers. There was consid
erable discussion on the school
reorganization bill on which the
state Grange is proposing to in
itiate a. referendum.
A potluck picnic was an
nounced for Sunday. July 21,
at 10 a.m. at Casey State park.
All Grangers, families and
friends are invited to attend.

claim they can recognize a Stein

Singers
The reference to a feminine
vocalist as a "canary" as in
"band canary" is wrong. It is the
male canary that sings. Calling
a woman singer a "nightingale"
is also erroneous. The male
nightingale is the family vocal
ist. If you want to compare the
sweetness of a female's voice to
that of a bird call her a thrush.

Plans To Handle
Casualties at CW
Camp White The Camp
White Veterans administration
domiciliary is now working on
plans which would make the
domiciliary able to handle civil
ian casualties in disasters, ac
cording to E. K. Ricker, mana
ger. Camp White is one of 173 Vet
erans administration hospitals
which will make their personnel
and facilities available in cases
of national disaster.
In such a case, Ricker said, the
domiciliary would operate un
der the direction of local civil
defense authorities.
Disaster drills are being held
periodically at the domiciliary
and each employee has been des
ignated as a member of Jackson
county civil defense.
The station has made plans
for an educational and training i
program to care for mass casual-!
ties. Ricker said VA hospitals
and domiciliaries are prepared
to assist communities in natural
disasters, such as tornadoes and
floods, when the President de
clares a major disaster area.
A vast area in southeastern
New Mexico, known as the
Permian Basin, was once cover
ed with a shallow sea and sup
ported a great deal of Marine
life. The waters receded some
150 million years ago, and to
day the area is widely-known as
an important petroleum produc
ing region.

Sometimes I think I'll just go
crazy if I have to spend another
evening alone wth him.
Dennis wasn't always like
this. When the children were
home he was always lively and
jolly. Lately, however, even
when they come to visit, he's so
quiet they keep asking him if
anything is wrong.
Dennis T. Mary doesn't real
ize that I'm just not a young
ster any more. I used to be the
life of the party at one time, but
I don't have the energy to carry
on the way I used to.
As for conversation, there
just doesn't seem to be too much
for Mary and me to talk about.
She can go on for hours telling
me what some youngster said or
did, or what Mrs. Jones is going
to buy for her home, or some
other such nonsense. I don't like
to say this but Mary is so bor
ing I have to shut her off like
a radio.
As I see it, we have come to
the time of life when two peo
ple ought to be content to just
sit quietly together. Mary is like
a child, constantly wanting ex
citement, entertainment and
conversation.
The Council Both Mary and
Dennis seem to be in quite a rut.
Dennis' belief that they are old
enough to be content to just sit
quietly together in a little off the
beam. Sometimes, yes. All the
time, no.
The fact that Dennis has
changed drastically from the
way he used to be may indicate
some physical problem. Dennis
may not have the pep he had 20
years ago, but no healthy man is
too old to be lively and jolly in
company. He should have a
checkup and see whether medi
cine or a change in diet might
improve his spirits.
It is very likely, however, that
Dennis' lethargy and lack of
conversation has the same cause
as Mary's trivial chatter. They
both lack vital interests. Both of
them should realize that with
out these interests they will
quickly lapse into, dismal, empty
old age.
In every community there are
organizations and activities that
offer individuals an opportunity
to enjoy a larger social life and
to make some personal contribu
tion. There are also schools and
organizations that offer courses,
which can expand the individ
ual's range of interests. Such
courses also offer the opportu
nity to pick up hobbies that can
be enjoyed at home as well.
Mary and Dennis should make
an active effort to get involved
THE TIME!
MEDFOHD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE ELEVEN
Passenger Traffic Shows
Increase at Local Airport
Airline traffic through Med
ford generally increased last
month compared to June, 1956,
it was reported today.
West Coast airlines reported
the largest increase in the num
ber of passengers boarding
planes here of the three linos
serving Medford. The line load
ed 869 passengers compared to
583 the previous June, an in
crease of 286 passengers. Passen
gers deplaning increased to 760
compared to 593 last year, an in
crease of 167 passengers getting
off at Medford.
A West Coast spokesman com
mented that probably the main
reason for the air traffic increase
is the better connection now
made here with both Southwest
and United Airlines.
Other Larger Loads
West Coast is also receiving
larger traffic loads from cities
it serves individually such as
Roseburg and Coos Bay. Largest
loads are received here for Port
land and Coos Bay, the West
Coast official said.
United airlines boarded 2,324
passengers here compared to
2,653 in June last year. This is
a decrease of 329 passengers.
Probable reason for the de
crease is cancelling of one flight
daily, an official explained.
Number of passengers being un
loaded this June showed a slight
increase, 2,428 compared to
2,407 the previous June.
Effective Friday all United
planes are radar equipped. This
provides for greater flight safety,
it was explained.
Southwest Airlines
Southwest airlines loaded 656
passengers and unloaded 693
passengers during June at the
Medford airport. Figures for the
previous June were not avail
ably locally.
Other airport traffic figures
show that 33 landings and take
offs were made by transient Air
Force traffic and two by local
Air .Force planes. Twenty-three
Navy craft used the field plus
two locally stationed planes.
Pounds of mail serviced at the
field showed a slight increase
during June compared to May.
17,528 pounds in June and 16,
273 pounds in May. Compared
to June a year ago amount of
in such activities. They will find
themselves too busy to be bored
and will have food for lively
conversation together.
