FARM ANIMALS Chicago HP Cattle are grown on almost five million of the more than six million farms in the United States, according to the American Meat Institute. Hogs are grown on nearly four million farms, sheep on about 600,000 farms. Hollywood V Movieland was at its shining best last week when Jerry Lewis rounded up j a group of TV siars to peip celebrate the ninth birthday of '"Little Boy Blue," who is dying of mus cular dystro phy in a Mas sachusetts sanatorium. Vernon Scott But the story behind Lewis' attempt to cheer the stricken youngster on his last birthday is as heartwarming as the show he put on. It goes like this: UP Story Has Reaction United Press set off a chain reaction when it ran a story from Boston last week telling about the lonesome boy who, for four monts, had no visitors or mail. ''Francis X.," as he is call ed by the nurses, was alone in the world. His father is in prison for killing his mother. The story came to Jerry's at tention. The comedian decided to put together a closed circuit TV program for Francis. Lewis heads the muscular dystrophy campaign each year. First he called David Sarnoff, boss man of NBC-TV and RCA in New York. Sarnoff agreed to provide the cable time for the project. Next Jerry began lining for the 45-minute up talent show. In less than 12 hours he cor raled Eddie Fisher and George Gobel both of whom were re hearsing for their own network shows. The word went out. Dinah Shore, also busy getting together a show of her own, volunteered to sing a song, as did Mary Cos ta. Eddie Cantor joined the rush, and Jerry had a major produc tion on his hands. Gets More Time He asked Sarnoff for another half-hour of time and got it. Then Hugh O'Brian (TV's Wyatt Earp) agreed to say hello to Francis and demonstrate his fancy gun twirling. Talullah Bankhead, sophisti cated and blase, asked if she could help, too. Jerry thanked her, but said Francis was a little young for her brand of enter taining. Talullah, near tears, de parted. Disney Chips in The show's success was in sured when Disney's Mouseke teers rushed over before their own shows to entertain young Francis. Pinky Lee, an old trouper at entertaining small fry, donned his crazy cap and checked coat to dance and prance for "Little Boy Blue" and his friends and the sanatorium. An 18-piece Gideons Set Medford 'Magicians Plan Two Performances in Ciiy As Convention City Roseburg Medford was se lected as the site for the 1953 convention of the Oregon Gid eons at the climax of the 1957 convention here last week.

Don Myers, Roseburg, was named secretary. Mrs. F. A. Monroe of Med ford was reelected president of the auxiliary at the convention. The final convention meeting was held with a no-host lunch eon. Mrs. Clarene Haan, Gid eons international auxiliary president, spoke at the final meeting. Mrs. Clarence Hold ridge of Medford presented a solo at the luncheon. band provided the music. Unions, management, techni cians, producers, big shots and "little people" donated time and money to the "party." And it was a pip. After it was over Lewis, per spiring from his efforts, thanked his co-workers. He said "It's aw fully difficult to be funny with a lump in your throat. But it's a birthday party none of us will ever forget." The "Great Virgil and Julie, Sweetheart of Magic" will pre sent a performance in the Med ford High school auditorium Nov. 4 under the sponsorship of FARM WAGES RISE Washington OP Wages of fa rm laborers rose to an average of 75.7 cents an hour Oct. 1, the Agriculture Department report ed Thursday.
