o o EIGHT MEDFORD (OREGON) Comedienne's Secretary of State To Request Copy By DOC QUIGG United Pren Correspondent New York jip The latest communiques from the Wash ington chitchat front say there is a new bounce in the step of the secretary of state since an auburn - haired nightclub singer began burdening the airwaves with a song titled "I Made a Fool of Myself Over John Foster Dulles." The song was written by Ken Welch for Carol Burnett come dienne stint at the Blue Angel nightclub with the idea of spoof ing the teen-age worshipping of rock 'n' roll singers. The pair decided it would be a humorous twist to portray a girl wor shipping someone distinguished. Miss Burnett has had the song in her act for more than a month and has sung it twice on the NBC Tonight show and once on the CBS Ed Sullivan show. After her first broadcast last week, the NBC people got a call from a Dulles aide saying the secretary wanted a record ing. O They rushed one, and also ' did a kinescope of her next TV cast to sen '. to him. Tins death less op$5 has been copyrighted by the Ben Bloom Music Corp., and by their special leave, here it is. From here on, the floor is Miss Burnett's: Talks It's so nice of you all to come visit me here in prison. I look forward to Friday . . . Friday is visiting day.

Oh, I made a chump of myself over John Foster Dulles. The first time I saw him, 'twas at the UN, I never had been one to swoon over men. But I swooned and the drums started pounding and then, 1 made a fool of myself over John Foster Dulles. I knew ii was futile to dream for we never could marry. Still my heart ripped apart at the seam for our state secretary- The next time I saw him he was flying to Spain; He waved to someone as he boarded the plane; O "Was it me?" cried my heart, and then 1 went insane. And I made a fool of myself over John Foster Dulles. "Get ahold of yourself," I told mvself, To my heart I said, '"Behave." "Who are you to John Foster WORD ABOUT MONEY SAVINGS S- LOAN 1 126 East Main I Medford Sine ISO vw MAIL TRIBUNE Song About Dulles?" I asked my heart, And it replied, "His slave." Then in somebody's newspaper column, I think Robert Ruark, I read that John Foster was due at the airport in Newark.

There was one the other day down in Monmouth county, New Jersey, that made the na tives feel as if they were spend ing a busy night on a battle front. Really terrific. Not as bad as some I went through in Ar kansas. However, the worst thunderstorm I was ever in was in Atlantic, Iowa, when on a transcontinental .auto trip. That storm lasted nine hours. Never a let up all that time in thunder claps and lightning flashes. Pleas Note If Rex Harrison isn't playing Prof. Higgins when you see "My Fair Lady," you really haven't seen the show that is the great est musieal hit of this century. It is the performance of Harri son that made the show what it is today. Speaking of perform ances, what do you name as the six greatest stage performances of tie past five years? I haven't tried to compile such a list but if and when I do I certainly will include Rex Harrison in "My Fair Lady" and Lloyd Nolan as Captain Queeg in 'The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial." Among The Married She was married on Wednes day. Each of her three children were born on Wednesday. So says a subscriber, who adds that she "couldn't be happier." This brings to mind the poetic proph ecy: Marry Monday for wealth, Tues day for health, Wednesday the best day of all. ' Thursday for crosses, Friday for losses, Saturday no luck at all.

Talks: It's so nice of you all to visit me here in prison. With good behavior I should be out, ch, in about seven years. But I'm not un-American and I'm not a spy. But how can I convince the FBI that I'm simply on fire with desire for John Foster Dulles. By E. V. Durling Features Syndicate. Inc.) ish case the Judge decided a di vorced man had a right to de scribe himself as a bachelor. The Judge said a bachelor is a man who "is not married at the time." Valuable Note it said that the "Aga Khan left Aly Khan his race horses." That laconic statement certainly does not do justice to the situation. The Aga Khan left Aly a thoroughbred breeding es tablishment that consists of four farms in France and five in Ire land. It is a business worth mil lions of dollars.. Right now on these farms there are over 100 finely bred mares in foal. Inci dentally Aly Khan is believed by some people to be the world's greatest race horse breeder. Advice Bella Darva, European beauty, who has inspired the interest of quite a few very wealthy men, recently offered the following advice to young women wishing to do likewise: "A girl must have a certain chfc to keep a wealthy man interested. And she must like his conversation." Horses and Women Peggy Cummins, the clever and charming Irish actress, has a tendency to grow a trifle plump. But she doesn't. Her hus band sees to that. Peggy, now 30. has a dress she bought when she was 21 and her figure was su perbly streamlined. Every time it seems Peggy is growing a little plumper her husband suggests she try on ' her nine-year-old dress. She does, and if it is tight, she goes on a diet. A very clever streamlining idea.

My father never takes us out. Mn. F. M. He needs com plete rest. e Miriam R. What a household mine is! I am 16, old enough to see that niy parents have made a big mess. I have a younger sister of 12 and a brother of 10 and they are so spoilted it's just terrible. I try to make them do things like keeping their own things neat, but they talk back to me and Mother always sticks up for them. My father doesn't come until late at night, and on week ends all we ever hear out of him is "Don't bother me?" He never takes any of us out, but he is always ready to spank anyone who misbehaves. The worst of it is that my mother doesn't even seem to care. She says -as long as Dad supports us, that's enough. What more should we expect? Well, I'm no dope and I have eyes to see that things aren't that way in every family. My friends all have fathers who care about them. Mrs. F. M. Miriam has been a big headache to me for the past three weeks. She's taken it into her -head that everyone in the family must be made over from the ground up and none of us knows a minute's freedom. It happens that my husband has had some serious business So THE LIGHT, FINE FLAVOR OF -L -My qc The "Welcome Mat" is a BRAND NAN I troubles recently. It's not his I fault that he must work late and is irritable with the children. He needs complete rest on his days off. For my part, 1 prefer that my husband shouldn't interfere be tween me and the children. It's true they are difficult, maybe spoiled, but when he steps in, he always makes matters worse. I have the patience to deal with them and he doesn't. I have tried to explain to Miriam that her father loves all of us, even if he is short-tempered, but she doesn't under stand. The Council: We gather that Miriam has a legitimate beef and this household could well stand some changes. Mrs. F. F..'s verdict in favor of Dad is all wrong. It is like saying that the children would be just as well off if their father were dead and they lived on his insurance money. Besides, no child is so gullible as to believe that a statement of love con stitutes the real thing. Love is built up through daily interchange of words and ac tions. The child who has no ex perience of tenderness in words and gestures, no experience of sharing things with a parent is deprived of love no matter what feelings may be locked in that parent's heart. It appears that Mr. F. M., with his wife's encouragement, has ''kcitU 0 6 THE Have a the light, Slow Brewed beer always out for visitors to the Heidelberg Brewery OhID(LSKR BftCWINS COMPANY. TACOMA. WASHIN4TON Wafch Heidelberg Wards to Construct Service Station Construction of a tire and bat tery service station for Mont gomery Ward and company of Medford will begin next week at 104 South Bartlett St., accord ing to J.

The mere fact that Mrs. F. M. could use the word "interfere" in connection with her husband's dealings with the children in dicates things have gone mighty far. The children need their father back in the family. Mrs. F. M. is wrong in her belief that her husband should be spared responsibilities during this period of economic stress. Mr. F. M. has as much to gain from his children as they have from him. The "complete rest" he takes on his days off is prob ably just a form of brooding. If he will try to give his wholehearted attention to the children, instead of acting as of ficial spanker, he will win many emotional rewards, relief from the stress of' his worries, and a fresher viewpoint. He may even find the objectivity he needs to tackle his problems in a better way.
