Two American Juveniles
International Sensations
By DOC QUIGG
United Press Correspondent
New York (IP! If we can
stop yapping about juvenile
delinquency long enough,
it might be well to ponder the
fact that a couple of our ju
veniles are international sen
sations.
One is Bobby Fischer of
Brooklyn, who at 14 set the
chess world on its ear by de
feating grand masters to win
the U. S. championship. He
now is entitled to a crack at
the world chess title, held by
Smyslov of Russia. '
The other is Van Cliburn of
Shreveport, La., and Kilgore,
Tex., who at 23 set Moscow on
its ear this week by winning
the Tchaikovsky international
piano competition. This ex
troverted Irish-Texan both
his mother and father are of
Irish descent gave his first
public concert in Shreveport
at the age of three.
When he was six, he and his
mother, a concert pianist,
were giving recitals together.
On his first day in school in
Shreveport, the teacher asked
him if he could read. "Yes,"
he said, "I can read music."
When he came here in 1954
to compete for the coveted
Edgar N. Leventritt Award,
they laughed when he sat
down to play honest, that's
what I'm told by those who
were there. He looked like a
misplaced basketball player.
He's six-feet-four but has a
mop of cudly hair that springs
up so that he looks about six-feet-seven.
Has Russian Style
His hand spans 11V4 inches.
He walks with a gangling
lope. His piano style is as
Russian as his dialect is east
Texas. When he finished
playing, he had won the
award. Mrs. Leventritt decid
ed to give a reception for
him after his first New York
Philharmonic appearance. She
told him to bring along any
friends from home who had
come to hear him.
Came the reception, and
Mrs. Leventritt had to fight
her way into the room

"Honey," said Van, sweeping
an arm toward 75 Texans,
"see these people. These are
a few of mah friends."
Ciiburn s bouthern ways
and Russian style got him the
nickname "Uncle Vanya" at
Columbia Artists Manage
ment, which has managed
him for the last four years.
When he decided to go to
Moscow, William H. Judd,
vice president at Columbia,
said: "They'll have to get an
interpreter to interpret for
Van's English interpreter.
Crazy About Hominy Grits
Cliburn pronounced Cly
burn is, according to Judd,
crazy about hominy grits,
black-eyed peas, ham with red
gravy, potlikker, collard and
mustard greens, and fried
steak. There has been some
speculation here about how
Russian food has hit him.
He was born in Shreveport,
where his parents founded a
mission that grew into
church. To keep him quiet
when he was a tot, his mother
used to give him a triangle to
bang on during the church
music. In Kilgore, the family
joined .the First Baptist
church, and Van sang in the
choir. In New York, he join
ed the Calvary Baptist church
just down the street from Car
negie Hall.
He has written hymns and
short pieces for the church
and composed a choral set
ting for a psalm which was
sung on the radio here.
He's a friendly character
who loves people and practi
cal jokes. Quite a boy.

By GAY PAULEY
United Press Women's Editor
New York (IP) Mrs
Warren s. bamuels is one
woman whose touch has
brought only good luck to
ships.
Some of the largest and
most luxurious craft cruising
the bounding main have
known the designing hand of
Mrs. Samuels, one of the few
women naval architects in the
world. She is the only woman
affiliate member of the Inter
national Society of Naval
Architects and Marine En
gineers.
"I don't hold with that
ancient belief that women are
bad luck for ships," she said
"And I've never run into ship
yard personnel or crews who
feel that they are."
Mrs. Samuels, who now
heads her own design firm,
helped plan the interior of the
U.S. United States, the world's
fastest passenger liner, while
she was with the famous
naval architects, Gibbs and
Cox.

Helped Design Navy Ships
She was with the organiza
tion from the start of World
War II until a couple of years
ago, and also had a hand in
design of destroyers, destroyer
escorts, landing craft, and air
plane carriers.
She has just completed her
first ship "on my own." It is
a private job, a million dollar
yacht owned by an American,
who had the hull built in a
Netherlands shipyard.
"I'm proud that I was part
of the design team which
worked on the United States,"
she said today. "But I'm
proudest of all of that yacht,
because it was my baby all
the way."
Mrs. Samuels was born Alta
Grant, the daughter of a prom
inent' New York architect,
Charles C. Grant.
Former Interior Decorator
"I wanted to be an architect
from the time I was a little
girl and daddy showed me
how to letter," she said. "But
I got out of school the .Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, with
a degree in architecture at a
bad time. The year was 1929
So during the depression
years, I worked as an interior
decorator."
She was until the beginning
of World . War. II head of the
decorating department . of a
Richmond, Va., store, and still
keeps her hand in the field.
She has worked on 20
theaters, three country clubs
and hundreds of homes, in
cluding' Kathleen Winsor's
New York apartment. She's
busy at the moment on a syna
gogue for Brooklyn.
Mrs. Samuels, a chic, dark
haired, woman, is the wife of
an investment firm executive.
The couple lives in a mid-town
apartment, and goes to sea
only on vacation trips to Eu
rope or the Caribbean.
"My husband is not the
handy-man type," said Mrs.
Samuels. "And if we owned a
boat, I know who'd do the re
pairs. Me. And I don't believe
in that kind of arrangement."

For PTSA
Eagle Point Mrs. Charles
McClure, White City, is the
newly elected president of the
Eagle Point High School Parent-Teacher-Student
asso c i a
tion, having been named at
the April meeting. Officers
accepting second terms were
parent vice-president, Mrs.
Delbert Spain, of Shady Cove,
and treasurer, Herman Hig
day. - Others elected were
teacher vice-president, Gail
Schoppert; . secretary, Mrs.
Burton Jensen; and historian,
Beverly Tresham, student.
President William T. J. An
drews ' introduced the guest
speaker, Gen. Joseph Hicks,
who spoke on the need for
civil .defense alertness. He
listed a number of things that
should be done at home just
as routine preparedness.
"All homes should contain
enough food and water for a
seven day supply," advised
the general. A means of as
suring an adequate sterile
water supply was suggested
by him. "Take your empty
fruit jars from home canning,
boil water, and seal it in the
jars. This provides a safe sup
ply."
General Hicks gave the re
minder that our valley Conel
rad radio station was located
on 1240 kilocycles, and that
was the station to dial during
an alert.
Mrs. Doris Smith, teacher,
informed students and par
ents that there are a number
of scholarships available to
students and anyone interest
ed was invited to coutact her
for information. She also ad
vised that a student could ap-
play for a number of scholar
ships and applications should
be made during the student's
junior year.
Bert Simmons' speech class
was represented by three stu
dents presenting the program.
Miss Joann Dickenson gave
her oration on "Courtesy
and Manners". The school,
the community, the nation
and the world are greatly ef
fected by courtesy and man
ners, and they play a great
role in courtship and marri
age, was the opinion of Miss
Dickenson. With her debate
partner, Miss Diana Gardner,
Miss Dickenson won first
place in the district speech
tournament held in Grants
Pass recently.
"With work, nothing is im
possible," stated Howard
Wilde, as he gave his disserta
tion on "Worf ' He went on
to praise the nobility of work
and gave his opinions on goals
that could be attained by dedi
cated work.
The orations were the" orig
inal work of the students
themselves and were deliver
ed from memory.
Miss Lana McGraw gave
her interpretive reading of
Whatever You're Doing
Stop It!" She placed second
in the "Humorous Interpreta
tion" section of the district
speech tournament. This is
the first time an individual
has placed from this school. .
Glenn Hale, superintendent
of the Eagle Point schools,
spoke on consolidation of the
Shady Cove and Eagle Point
districts, and the reorganiza
tion of school districts. A
question and answer period
followed.

Love Must Be Earned
Edna complains that George
doesn't love her. She feels
cheated, outraged.
"Why should he love me?"
she cries, echoing our ques
tions. "Why, I am his wife
that's reason enough, isn't it?"
"Blood is thicker than wa
ter," some parents reason.
"We're Johnny's parents, so
of course he should love us!"
But being a parent or a
spouse does not automatically
guarantee love. Duty may be
owed, but never love. Love
must be earned.
To receive luve, we must
be capable of giving love. Our
regard and affections must in
clude not only ourselves, but
also others, whom we might
accept as love-objects worthy
of even more consideration
than we grant ourselves. We
must make ourselves lovable,
and then we must be ready to
recognize, and receive love
when it is offered. Beauty,
wealth, the ability to tap
dance or juggle three oranges
in the air at- once have little
to do with love-ability. This
capacity lies within, and to a
large extent can be cultivated
with an honest evaluation of
one's self. '
"Nobody loves me!" calls
for a careful investigation of
causes, and might . be an
swered with, "What have you
done to deserve love?"
Two Groups Plan

Commerce and the Jaycettes

1. Are you an ego-centric?
To a certain extent, all of us
are in love with ourselves. In
deed we must love ourselves
a little bit before others can
feel confidence in and love
for us. . But self-love, which
figures so largely in child
hood, must be subordinated in
maturity to a feeling for and
regard for others. This outgo
ing love is the basis of suc
cessful marriage and all kinds
of successful human relation
ships, whether in business,
politics, or simple neighborli
ness. 2. Are you kind? Kindness
involves a generous applica
tion of the Golden Rule, it en
tails tact with the grocer, the
children, the in-laws. It in
cludes diplomacy with the
boss and fellow workers. It
covers tolerance and sympa
thy with those weaker than
you and with those who dif
fer from you in race, religion,
or belief.
3. Are you resilient, able to
give and to take, without tak
ing offense where none is in
tended? Can you forgive and
forget? Or are you overly
sensitive? 4. Are you happy within?
Do you think people basically
good and life essentially worth
living? Can you convey this
inner strength to others?
If you have these capaci
ties, then you are a lovable
person, who has earned the
right to be loved!
