Frank Sinatra never could have dreamed how right the words were that opened his big hit ong of a few years back. But now ... if a satellite cow doesn't jump over the moon, soon, while little dogs laugh in their orbits and flying dishes run away with flying spoons if such things don't happen, it seems, then there will be occas ion for surprise. Herd 'Round World' The joke that blossomed right after Sputnik II went aloft was that the Russians had plans to place a lot of small cows in a fleet of satellites circling the earth and call it "the herd shot 'round the world." This joke may someday turn out to hold as much truth as wordplay. Herds of cattle al ready have flfcfVn through the air, as matter of routine inter national commerce, and without missing a cud chew, on commer cial airliners equipped as freight transports. If you had tried to sell that one as may-come-true story to anybody in this world 50 years ago, you'd have been classified as a fairytale believer. And for that matter, who would have thought, when the first horseless carriage putt- putted down the cobblestones in Great Grandpa's day that it would metamorphose by 1957 into a huge gleaming palace of metal and glass, with automatic transmission, air-cushion shock absorbers, 300 - horsepower mo tor, and a little box on the dash board through which you could hear Elvis Presley 1,000 miles away? Convertible Saucers? Never mind the auto. Take Elvis Presley alone. Chances are that if you had asked Great Grandpa to envision the likes of him, the old gentlemen would M. m MM G3$TAG CANDIES j 1 MARGARET BIRNHAM'S CHOCOLATES Only 3 1. D lb. Dox Only (1.49 lb.

The Family Council Editor'! note: The Family Council consists of a Judge, m psychiatrist, tbree clergymen, a newspaper editor a women'r editor and two writers Each article Is a summary of an actnal report. The family Council does not give advice; it merely reports on problems thai iave been dealt witn by responsible agencies and connselors Mrs. R. B. Helen should be more considerate of her hus band. Helen A. She shouldn't tell me how to treat my husband. Mrs. R. B. I am a woman who learned too late in life that my marriage could have been happier. After my husband died I realized how much I cared for him, how I could have made him and myself happier if I had only shown him the little attentions he deserved. I am trying to pass on the benefit of my experience to my daughter, who is in her early 20's. She has been married three years and has two small chil dren. I realize she has her hands full, but just the same she should take the time and trouble to be particularly considerate of her husband. Helen doesn't seem to see things my way. She feels as long as she does her job in the home she's doing enough for her hus band. Helen A. In the first place, I should explain I love my hus band and he loves me and we're very happy together. It's true I sometimes yell at him and there are days when I'm so busy I'm not even aware he's at home, but I'm sure he understands I love him and he doesn't hold it against me. My mother constantly embar rasses us by saying, "Why don't you kiss him when he walks in the door?" or "Why don't you tell him he's wonderful for having mowed the lawn?" Well, we just dont talk or act that way. Dan would think I'm crazy if I kept saying he was wonderful. Jacksonville Class Visits Library The junior class of Jackson ville High school observed "Know Your Public Library Month" with a visit to the Med ford Public library, headquar ters of the Jackson County li brary, Thursday morning. Mrs. Clara Wendt, teacher-librarian, accompanied the 26 students. A talk by Librarian Miss Helen Webster on the techniques of using the library for research, including the use of the card catalog and periodical indices, was followed by an hour's prac tice work assigned by . Miss Wendt. Students were also taken on a tour of all library departments and given an explanation of the part that each department plays in the acquisition and circula tion of books. School classes and others in terested groups are invited to schedule library tours during November, Miss Webster said. This month has been designated as "Know Your Public Library Month" by the General Federa tion of Women's clubs. I know my mother wants to help me, but it's a little silly and annoying to have her tell me how to treat my husband. The Council: Mrs. R. B.'s thoughts and" intentions are on the right track, but her method of giving advice is unfortunate. She should realize each indi vidual has a special way of ex pressing himself. She cannot tell Helen how to show affection for her husband without intrud ing on personal territory. Helen's husband may have the complete certainty that his wife thinks he's the most wonderful guy on earth without a word ever hav ing been said on the subject. A forced effort to show "little at tentions" often falls flat. If Mrs. R. B. wants her daugh ter to benefit by her experi ence, she should find a quiet time to tell her about her own feelings about the past. She should not presume to advise Helen, but simply to state where she, personally, feels she failed to make the most of-her mar riage. A sincere expression of this sort may sink in deeply. Helen may treat it lightly at the mo ment, but she will remember it, if and when the cap fits. Then she will apply her insight in her own natural way. (Copyright 1957, General Features Corp.) NFIP Adds Million To Research Work New York Basil O'Connor, president of the National Foun dation for Infantile Paralysis, announced today that his organi zation has added $1 million to its research allocation for 1958, and that the larger part of this sum will be devoted to basic re search. Among the projects which will be continued and expanded under National Foundation grants are studies of how viruses affix themselves to and invade cells, studies on the composi tion and structure of viruses, studies of the structure and func tion of nucleic acid (a key chemi cal found in all living things), studies of viruses recently dis covered whose relationship to disease is still not wholly under stood, studies of reasons why certain drugs inhibit virus growth, and studies of the prop erties of cells which appear to have become malignant as they have been grown in laboratories. The additional $1 million brings to $4,700,000 the National Foundation's research need for 1958, the largest in the organiza tion's history. "The expansion of our virus research allocation," O'Connor said, "will stimulate further bas ic research in the virus field, but does not represent a change in policy." 1 I 1 I II II It n NEW GENERAL ELBCTRIC "SNOOZ-ALARM" GIVES YOU "r01JY EXTRA WINKS"!

Friday, November 8, 1957 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE NWS Red Haired Woman Has No Effect on Cheese; Thunder Said Harmless to Milk Chicago (IP) Thunder won't really cause milk to sour, and the mere presence of a red-haired woman near a cheese vat won't hurt the cheese. These and other food supersti tions were disputed by Col. Charles S. Lawrence, executive secretary of the Institute of Food Technologists. "There's absolutely no rhyme or reason to some of these super stitions," Lawrence said, "but people still hold to them." The thunder-milk idea appar ently is related to the fact that warm, humid weather does in crease the lactic bacteria in the air, he said, and this in turn will cause milk to sour if it is left in the open. "But it's the lactic bacteria, not the thunder," Lawrence said. The cheese superstition still is prevalent in some sections of the South and along the Atlantic Seaboard, he said. According to the belief, if a red-haired woman tends the cheese vat, the curd will be "like loose sand and the cheese will be unfit to eat." Along the coast of the Caro linas, Georgia, Florida and Tex as, Lawrence said, many people believe that eating crabs and ice cream at the same meal is "about like taking strychnine." In New England there is a similar substitution about milk and shell fish of any kind. "It probably got started be cause the fishermen felt that dairy foods were offering too much competition," Lawrence said. "It's obviously ridiculous be- Lone Pine School Students Visit Public Library Here Twenty - nine pupils of the Lone Pine school, with their teacher - librarian, Miss Frances Henry, visited the Medford Pub lic and Jackson County library Wednesday. After a short talk on the his tory and use of libraries by Miss Helen Webster; librarian, stu dents toured departments of the library and activities of each were explained. Questions asked by the pupils brought out fur ther information about the or ganization of the county library, statistics concerning its use and costs, and the proper treatment of books. An informal exhibit compared children's books currently pub lished with children's books pub lished between 50 and 100 years ago. Bookmarks and library fold ers were distributed as souven irs to the pupils, who are mem bers of grades four through eight; and application for library cards for parents as well as for pupils were given to all those not already registered as library users. . School classes are welcome to visit the labrary, Miss Webster said, suggesting that an especial ly' appropriate time for such visits is Children's Book Week, Nov. 17-23 this year. Arrange ments can be made with Miss Webster or with Mrs. Nora Mc Kay, head of the junior depart ment of the library, so schedul ing conflicts may be avoided. 4 U A CLUB HEWS cause many recipes call for cook ing fish dishes in milks" Bismarck, the iron chancellor of Germany, believed in a super stition that killed him. He thought that meat and brandy would cure the gout, despite the fact that meat is high in proteins and gout usually is caused by an over-abundance of protein in the diet. , "Bismarck used to eat a pound and a half of sausage and drink a bottje of brandy," Lawrence said. "Then his aching toes didn't ache. "He was probably so soused he felt no pain."
