o SIX MEDrORP (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE London Paper Offers Money to Man Taking Round-Trip to Moon By POC QUIGG In the same edition, in the le Tuesday, November 19. 1957 By POC QUIGG United Press Correspondent New York w A London newspaper is offering a big pile of money for the first man to reach the moon and return in the next 10 years, regardless of nationality. The prize is 50,000 British pounds, which works out, at the present exchange rates, to about $140,000 or, I hasten to add, 560,000 rubles. The paramount thing to re member in case you plan on en tering the contest, is that in or der to enjoy the money you ought to try to come back alive. Another London newspaper recently offered to give .away a man as the prize in a circulation contest. It did, too." And, as near as near as can be established on this side of the ocean, there have been no complaints heard from the prize-winner on the serviceability of the prize. Paily Mirror Alarmed Last Wednesday's edition of the London Daily Mirror the largest daily newspaper in the world in point of circulation offered something Americans will find remarkable. The Daily Mirror is tabloid size. Its entire front page was filled with a huge headline that started at the top with under lined italics and got bigger and heavier as it progressed. It said: "Wake up, Britainl We're living in the past. We're too slow, too sleepy . . ." and then, in black block capitals "Too damn smug!" Then the reader was directed to the two center pages in which the editor slammed down his thoughts, starting out this way: "This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England is not the place it was. This sceptred isle is deluding itself. This happy breed is backward . . ." At the top of the long editorial a head line said, "if this shocks you, Britain will win," and at the bot tom "if this doesn't shock you, we've had ill" In the same edition, in the let ters department, a lady signing herself "Flossie" from Aberavon Glamorgan, complained that "my husband, who is crazy on darts, can always 'lose' himself if there is a chance of a game anywher." She said she gave him a rolling pin for his birth day, and every darts night she leaves it on the table near the door for him to see when he comes home from the pub. On the rolling pin she has en graved this verse: "Your supper is on the hearth, dear a pipe and a book that's new. Your slippers are by the fire, dear. But where the hell are you." gMERGENCY NUMBERS FIRE POLICE . MONEY SP 2-2333 SP 3-3636 SP 3-5308 A MUM flkf Pf&FK AMMt PACIFIC . lUDUSTCIAt 16 S. CENTRAL Foriy Members In Builders Exchange The California-Oregon Build er's Exchange has more than 40 members since first going into business on Nov. 1, according to Gordon Taylor, head of the ex change, at the weekly meeting of the Jackson county chamber of commerce roundtable. The exchange is said to be the only one between Eugene and Chico. The purpose of the exchange is to make a coordination center for contractors and construction supply houses, he said. There are 130 classifications of busi nesses which are listed as as sociated with construction, he said. Contractors and contractor's supply houses pay a membership fee and then a fee every quarter, he said. The quarterly fee pays for a monthly newsletter which contains recent building permits in the area, projects open for bids and items of interest to the construction trade. Through the service contract ors builders can get plans of projects coming up for bidding, information about materials needed and a list of sub-contractors according to Taylor. He said the local office, located on South Central ave., has a number of planning tables with plans for many local projects for members of the exchange to look over. Next Monday's meeting of the roundtable will feature secre tary of state Mark Hatfield who will speak on the duties of his office. At the meeting scheduled for Dec. 2, state senator Phil Lowry will speak on the pro ceedings of the special session recently adjourned. ' jp'i WOULDNT YOU?

BAUDER HARDWARE & APPLIANCE Methods of Treating Ulcers Has Changed Los Angeles (IP) Better understanding of a delicately balanced mechanism in the stom ach which aids in maintaining proper balance has changed sur gical methods for treating ul cers. Dr. Edward R. Woodward of the University of California Medical School, Los Angeles, has discovered that the flow of hormones stimulating acid se cretion in the stomach is cut eff when the acidalkaline balance reaches a certain point. These hormones are secreted at a place near the stomach's exit called the antrum. The antrum com prises about 20 per cent of the stomach. Food in the stomach stimu lates antrum hormone secretion which causes acid secretion. The upset of the normal mechanism may be a cause of gastric ulcers, Woodward said. Overweight Cause of All Foot Trouble San Francisco (IP) Over weight is the main cause of all foot trouble, according to 150 foot doctors who met here. "The human skeleton is built to carry a certain load limit," one chiropodist observed, "and when this limit is exceeded the additional weight of the body can be severely damaging to the feet. Obesity causes the foot structure to weaken, resulting in such -uncomfortable ailments as corns, calluses and certain types of arthritis." Therapeutic injections of the "wonder drugs" in the treatment of foot ailments was reported to be increasingly succesful. "Painful heel spurs, such as the one which ended Joe Di Maggio's baseball career, will be come a thing of the past, too, if therapeutic injections continue to be used as effectively as they are now," said Dr. Raymond K. Locke of Englewood, N.J. r Daily's U-Drive Medford Airport High Court Rules On Jurisdiction Washington W The Supreme Court has ruled unanimously that federal courts have juris diction over cases of racial dis crimmination by railway unions against their members. Justice Hugo L. Black spoke for the nine-judge bench. He brushed aside the contention that such disputes are under the ex clusive jurisdicition of the Na tional Railroad Adjustment board. "This court has emphatically and repeatedly ruled that an ex clusive bargaining agent under the railway labor act is obligated to represent all employees in the bargaining unit fairly and without discrimination because of race," he said, "and has held that the courts have power to protect employees against such invidious discrimination." Today's case was started by a group of Negro employees of the Texas and New Orleans Railroad at its Houston, Tex., freight house. The Negroes said the rail road posted a notice in May, 1954, abolishing without notice 45 jobs all held by Nergoes. They said the company immed iately hired many whites to per form the same work. The com pany also rehired some of the Negroes, but without seniority, they said. Motorists Finds Note With License Plates Mt. Clemens, Mich. (W A Shelby Township motorist found a note enclosed in his 1957 license plates. Addressed to FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, the writer asked if prison psychiatrists have to be psychonalyzed to hold their jobs. The writer also wondered if prison cells really cost be tween $10,00 to $15,000. Michigan license plates are made by inmates of Jackson State Prison. Dean Martin Asks Custody of Children Hollywood (IP) Singer Dean Martin has filed an action in Superior court in nearby Santa Monica to gain custody of four children by his former wife, Elizabeth. The crooner charged in an ac tion filed Monday that his for mer wife was unfit to retain cus tody of their children, Craig, 15; Claudia, 13; Gail, 12 and Deana, 9. The first Mrs. Martin gained custody of the children when she and Martin were divorced in Las Vegas in 1949. Since then, the singer charged, he has paid her $325,00 in alimony and child support payments but she has made no provisions for the future of the children. Martin remarried after the 1949 divorce and had three chil dren by his present wife, Jean. County Officials To Attend Meeting Memebrs of the Jackson coun ty court left this week end for Portland where they will attend the state meeting of county com missioners. While in Portland County Judge Rodney Keating, and Commissioners Chester Wendt and Ralph James also will attend O and C meetings. They are scheduled to return to Medford next week end.

At the state meeting Mrs. Hop kins will report on her activities as liaison officer and representa tive of the county clerks asso ciation to the state legislature. She will also tell of the national convention of county clerks that she attended this year in Atlan tic City, N.J. The Hollywood Scene Hollywood (IP) Television gets a Las Vegas shot in the arm tonight when Zsa Zsa Gabor slink? onto the George Gobel show in the most daring gown ever to dazzle the TV tube. Gobel may earn his "Lone some George" tag if nervous network cen sors and the Vernon Scott Federal Com munication commission decide to flip a switch sending organ mu sic over the air. The next-to-nothing gown is a 56,000 flesh-colored chiffon the stuff that's as transparent as a wolf whistle. It gives Zsa Zsa the appearance of being nude. Zsa Zsa calls it "my thing dress." Pinned by Sequin The peek-a-boo bit of fluff is held together by strategically placed sequins and was created by Charles Lemaire, wardrobe designer at 20th Century-Fox. There is very little gown, and very much Zsa Zsa. "It may not pass the censors," the town's number one glamour girl avows, "but I never had any complaints about it in Las Vegas." Be that as it may, the NBC boys aren't taking chances. They have arranged a special on-cam-era preview of the dress just be fore the show goes on the air. John Bushnell, in charge of the network's continuity accept ance department (TV talk for censor) is crackling his knuckles in anxiety. No Set Regulations "There are no set regulations about how little or how much a girl can wear on television," he said. "A lot depends on how well-endowed the girl is." And Zsa Zsa is blessed with all the charms any girl could hope for. "I'll be right there to see that the dress isn't too hot to handle." Zsa Zsa limits her TV appear ances carefully. When she does agree to a guest spot it usually ups a show's ratings several points. It's a cinch Gobel's rating will jump when Zsa Zsa and her sexy outfit hits the microwaves. 0 NOW!
