On The Side ByE .v .ourim (Distributed by King Features Syndicate. Inc.) Vivien Leigh inspired quite an uproar (pith her priest against the tearing down of Lon don's historic St. Jame s Theatre. Even Sir Winston Churchill got into the act. Quite a few his toric theatres have been torn dowrPin New York. As for ex amples, the Casino and the Em pire. I think it is an excess of sentimentality to profbst against t!v razing of such antique show shops. Incidentally, it is about time they tore down the Metro politan Opera House and trans ferred the activities of the com pany g a more modern and com fortable structure. World's Fastest? What are the world's fastest passenger airliners? It is claim ed they are the Russian Tupo laever (TU 104) planes operating between Moscow and Peking. These planes average 500 miles an hour. The rail journey from Moscow to Peking takes nine days. These TU 104 planes are said to make the trip in a little over eight hours. Horses and Women A dispatch from Paris reports that, according to Monsieur Dior, the woman of fashion will in the fall feature skirts 18 inches from the ground. In what period of the 20th century did our countrywomen wear the shortest skirts? Wasn't it around 1920? About the time there was a popular song titled "They're Wearing 'Em Higher in Hawaii." A jest current at the period concerned a lost child who 'was asked by a policeman, "Why didn't you hold on to your moth er's skirt?" The youngster sadly replied, "I couldn't reach it." Orer There The gambling joint operated by Grace Kelly's husband at Monte Carlo is reported not do ing so well. Difficulty at Monte Carlo is you have to put up a lot to win little. If you lose you lose a lot, If you win you win only a little. The type of gam bling operation enjoying great success is one in which the play er puts up a little with a chance of winning a lot. As for example, those Las Vegas, Nev., slot ma chines featuring huge "jack pots." Or that "Five and Ten" wagering medium offered at the Agua Caliente, Mexico, race course. Asking Queries from clients. Q. What city is at the centre of popula tion in the United States? A. It is none other than that pictur esque enterprising municipality on the banks of the Wabash, Terre Haute, Ind. Incidentally, within a radius of 250 miles of Terre Haute there is a popula tion of 17,000,000. . . . Q. I claim Somerset Maugham, the author, is 91 years old. Right? A. Wrong, sir. Somerset Maugh am js 83 years old. However, Viscount Maugham, his brother, a retired lawyer, is 91 years old. Sidelights Do you bite off the end of a cigar? If so, that's a bad start for a good smoke. Use a cigar cutter, my boy. . . . Who is the oldest fellow you know to be come a father for the first time? Lord Douglas, 63-year-old Brit ish airline executive, recently became a papa for the first time. His wife is 38. That Swimsuil Does your wife know who Louis Reard is? She should. He is the Paris designer who orig inated the celebrated Bikini bathing suit. Of this garment Monsieur Read said, "It has just enough to protect, the property without spoiling the view." I don't know who first wore a Bikini swimsuit in this country. However, the frst woman to wear a one-piece bathing suit on a public beach in this country was Annette Kellerman. She was arrested for so doing. That was in 1910. The place: Revere Beach, Mass. ' Fifth Amendment One man questioned at a re cent U.S. Senatorial investiga tion utilized the "Fifth Amend ment plea" 150 times in one day's session. Can you quote the Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution from memory? If not, cease calling yourself a well informed fellow. By the way, ask your wife if she can quote the Nineteenth Amendment from memory. If not, she certainly should blush a very long blush for her ignorance.

Teacher Richard Schuchard (left) explains the opera tion of an instrument loaned by the Klamath Falls school for the summer. Gary keeps up with his fifth grade classwork by having five hours a week of instruction from Schuchard. He will be pro moted to the sixth grade next month. His summer vacation was three days which had to be made up later. (Knackstedt photo) School Continues for Patient Gary Hankins School starts next month for furnished the textbooks he uses. All of Gary's time is not spent in studying, however. He attended the National Cat fish Derby in June, the Rogue River Roundup this month, and was a guest of the management at Lithia Drive-in for the movie, "Secrets of Life," a science film that helped him in his studies. This was the first movie that Gary had attended in more than two years. Gary is fond of football and hopes to be able to attend some of the local games this fall. ' In addition to his studies, Gary has physical therapy treat ments three days a week. Since beginning the treatments, Gary spends most of his time in a wheel chair and has recovered the use of his right arm and fingers. Gary's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Orin Hankins of Klamath Falls, visit him at least once a month. the majority of the children in the valley. But for one boy, who will be promoted to the sixth grade in September, school goes on for 12 months of the year and September has no spe cial meaning for him, classroom-wise. He is Gary Hankins, who has been a patient at Sacred Heart hospital since February, 1956, when he lost the use of both arms and legs as a result of a bullet wound in his spine. The accident occurred near his home in Klamath Falls. Gary receives private tutor ing five hours a week from Richard Schuchard, who teaches the same courses as the typical fifth grader receives in a public school. Gary receives a report card every six weeks and his favorite subjects are history, geography and arithmetic. His teacher says he is a better than average reader. Early in the summer Gary had a short spring vacation of three or four days but after wards that work had to be made up so he wouldn't fall behind in his studies. Schuchard is paid by the Klamath Falls school district, and during the summer months the school loaned Gary a micro scope to aid him in his science class. The World Book Encyclopedia company, hearing about Gary, sent a set of encyclopedia to him at cost, which is being paid by several Medf ord service clubs and private donations.

Congress man Charles O. Porter expressed disappointment last week that delay of an advisability report from the corps of engineers on the small boat basin for Siuslaw harbor "likely precludes con sideration this year." "Since the Public Works com mittee has adjourned for this year and the study by the Corps of Engineers required action in the district, prospects for in clusion this year are dim," Port er said. The Fourth district represen tative, who was earlier success ful in securing funds for jetty work in Siuslaw harbor, sub mitted a special statement on June 18 in support of a commit tee review resolution which cited the need for the small-boat basin. This resolution was pre sented to the committee on pub lic "works, which, in turn, asked for a feasibility study. , Sunday, August 18, 1957 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE FIVE JACKSONVILLE Trip Retraced by Family By BETTE HOSKINS Jacksonville Charles Rem ington of Jacksonville accompa nied by his son, Harley W.
