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.

SUMMER STUDIES Gary Hankins, patient at Sacred Heart hos
pital, learns to operate a microscope as part of his studies for a
science class. 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.

Porter Disappointed
Oyer Report Delay
Washington, D. C. 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. ,

to pick him up at 10:45 a.m. to
go over the same route."
"Speaking of the trip 50 years
ago, Remington said: 'This nine
miles was the last lap of our
journey from New York. On our
way here we stopped and spent
six years in Nebraska before
continuing westward. My father,
Harley E. Remington, having
heard much about the Oregon
country, decided to come west.
I have lived the entire 50 years
in Douglas county.'
"The oxen on the trip 50 years
ago were driven by his uncle,
Ruben Remington."
The trip Aug. 1, 1957, makes
it 70 years since the original
trip was made in 1887. The trek
being made this time also by
