ANOTHER FIRST Peter Gluckmann, San Francisco's "Flying Watchmaker," points to the blow-out patch on tire of his airplane as he neared the end of his 25,000-mile trip at Teterboro, N. J: airport.

W , Dennis Crosby, 23, one of crooner Bing Crosby's twin sons, was wed between shows Sunday night to showgirl Pat Sheehan, 26-year-old di vorcee and mother of a 6-year-old son. National Meet Set For Red Cross Washington. OP) An estimated 5,000 delegates to the 33rd National Red Cross Convention will be here May 19 for the opening of the or ganization's three-day meet ing, it has been announced. Approximately 90 sessions on various phases of Red Cross activities are planned for the convention. Speakers will include E. Roland Harriman, Red Cross National Chairman; Gen. Al fred M. Gruenther, Red Cross president; John Daly, TV and Radio News Commentator; Billy Graham, Evangelist; Dr. Gunnar Gunderson, President-Elect of the American Medical Association, and Lew is E. Berry Jr., Federal Civil Defense Deputy Administra tor. , Young Crosby, twin of Philip the middle sons of Crosby's four boys and the statuesque Miss Sheehan took out a marriage license short ly after 11 O'clock and were wed at the Gretna Green Wed ding Chapel by the Rev. James A. Herndon, pastor of the Church of the Nazarene. Pat hurried back to the Tropicana for the second show after the quick cere mony. A spokesman for the Tropi cana, one of the lush resort hotels on the sparkling "strip" of this gambling town, said the showgirl apparently had made no arrangements for taking time off for a honeymoon. Marriage Can Be Fun' Minister Tells Group The Arctic tern probably sees more daylight than any other creature. The world's greatest traveler, it nests each summer in the North Polar regions, then flies some 11,000 miles to Antarctica for an other nightless summer. King Humbert of Italy was assassinated by an anarchist in 1900. President McKinley of the United States was as sassinated by an anarchist the following year, 1901. Marriage can be fun, excit ing and happy, the Rev. Bur ton Alvis, Portland, told those attending a district Mariners meeting in the Medford First Presbyterian church Sunday night. Approximately 100 repre sentatives from various Mari ners groups in southern Ore gon attended the program and dinner. Mr. Burton said this Sun day marks the beginning of family week so a talk on mar riage as part of Christian ed ucation seems partciularly ap propriate. Americans, he said, always seem to be pursuing that mys terious thing called the bar gain. The church rummage sale is an example. However, there is no bargain in mar riage or marriage is no bar gain, he said. f"If a young man proposed to his intended on a business like basis she would be crazy to marry," the minister said. For he would tell her she would be working an 80-hour week, washing 150,000 cubic feet of dishes, clothes she washes would cover a line 47 miles long with another two miles for assorted baby things. Despite modern mechanical aids the wife and mother has only one pair of hands. She is child psychologist, engineer, production manager and fam ily chauffeur among other things. Envies Wife The husband, however, en vies his wife's "free time." She in turn envies his regular hours. In spite of all this mar riage can be fun. One of the main parts of marriage should be having fun at home. Those who take their problems to the marriage counselor have a marriage which has no give and take, no relaxation, Mr. Alvis said. "Marriage should mean having fun, doing things to gether," Mr. Alvis empha sized. "As Humpty - Dumpty remarked in Alice in. Wonder land, one can't help growing older, but two can. A wife and husband can help each other from growing old. Where there is no. irritabil ity, there is no life, the min ister told his audience" of mar ried couples. Clams never have a nervous breakdown. Such things as back-seat driv ing keep a husband youthful in spirit, he said smiling. The story about Nathaniel Hawthorne's start in his writ ing career is an example of how a wife can buoy a hus band's spirits, Mr. Alvis said. When Hawthorne came home depressed after losing his job his -wife remarked, "Why, Na thaniel, now you can do what you have always wanted to do you can write!" With that she laid out paper and pencils and placed a chair at a table for him. Then he started the "Scarlet Letter." Has Upi and owns "So you see, marriage has its ups and downs, but can still be fun. It's exciting, too exciting in maturing togeth er. When you can even love each other's irritating little habits then your marriage is truly a happy one," the minis ter pointed out. "As Ogden Nash has said, marriage brings together two people seemly not fit to live together. And that is why marriage is so much more interesting than divorce. Marriage con sists of the irrisistable force meeting the immovable ob ject." In a play entitled "Wed ding" a line reads, "I don't care how you squeeze the toothpaste just so you squeeze me," the minister quoted. "Don't try to correct, all your marriage partner's faults in the first five minutes," he urged. Real happiness and last ro m a n c e can be achieved through the blending of the biological and the spiritual, he said. By discovering God a couple can discover each oth er and by discovering each other they can discover God, he added. "Marriage means a mutual understanding, warmth, ap preciation and growth and re laxation," Mr. Alvis said. "The woman usually leads in giving thanks." Nasser in Azerbaijan Province for Visit Moscow (IP) President Gamal Abdel Nasser of the United Arab Republic arrived Monday in Baku, capital of Azerbaijan Province on the Caspian Sea it was announced here today. He spent the week end visiting Tashkent, the capital of Uzbek Prov ince, some 1,800 miles east of Moscow. , National, state and district t fffft REPRESENTATIVE IN CONGRESS, FOURTH DISTRICT.

Vol. for Ono School News... Crater High School By JUDI DAVIS One of the most exciting times in the whole school year came last Friday. A dead quietness fell in the building as students awaited the announcement that would conclude weeks of campaign ing. It was all over now, all but this final announcement presenting the returns of the election of next year's student body officers. It was one of the best cam paigns ever recorded in the school, with the finest of can didates. Now, with that be hind, we have elected the fol lowing students to carry on the work of Crater High school: president, Richard Hammersley; vice president, Kerman Bennett; secretary, Vernola Hutchinson; treasur er, Don Ryan; and business manager, Dave Parker. The election was a close one, and especially between the candidates for president. Bill White gave the future ASB president a "run for his money" and until the final vote was counted, no one could predict the final out come of any of the offices. Opposing the other future of ficers were- John Burns, Con nie McDonough.-Jeanette Pur dy, and Charlie Warren, re spectively. There was not a majority vote for yell queen, and Joan Skov and Sandra Ghelardi will be running in a separate election Monday. Also up for yell queen were Donna Burnett and Melba Tucker. The past week has been a maze of campaign posters all over, many parades for each candidate, and airplane drop of phamphlets, and campaign speeches on Thursday.. Voting took place Friday. 332nd AnnWonary of Manhattan 'Bargain Day' Recalls Early Purchase Tuesday saw one of the finest assemblies in the musi cal field to be presented at Crater. The Southern Oregon college populaires presented a 45-minute musical program with a large amount of vari ety. There was a cafe scene with lively music, and even a polka; a western scene with the male singers, and instru mentals presented by the group. The coming weeks of school will see many events and many more elections by clubs. Also in the final weeks of the school year, the students are busy making sure that all as signments are in order. Teach ers are preparing to finish, up the scholastic end of school. Seniors will attend class for the last time on May 29 and will graduate on June 5. Reg ular school will be out June 4. CP Junior High School By ELLIS CORNUTT and WILLIE DEBRICK ' Michael Glines, a seventh grade student, was elected student body president for the coming school year at Thursday's election. Other of ficers are Mike Anhorn, vice president; Joyce Robert, sec retary; Joliene Greene, serg-eant-at-arms; Raymond White, trophy custodian, and Judy Childress, Carole Crenshaw, Judy Gebhard, and Karen Holey, yell leaders. "Tom Sawyer" was the name of a play at Crater High school which grades five through eight attended Thurs day, May 1. The play was di rected by Jim Baccus. Central Point held a track meet at Crater High with Grants Pass Friday, April 25. The Central Point eighth grade squad met defeat by a reasonably close .margin of 63-50, and the seventh grade won by a very close margin of 38-35. The following new records were established by the Pointers: Bill Kropp, dis cus, lOO'lOvi"; Richard Mil ler, javelin, 128'10"; Gary Wald, 150 yard dash, 16.8 seconds. John Champ was a double place winner in both hurdles; Gary Johnsonw as a three place winner, and Vern Swanson, a sixth grader, was a three place first winner. Approximately 1,400 par ents and friends attended the open house and musical pro gram last week, with several rooms reporting a 100 per cent representation of fath ers. ' Both the beginners' band and the junior high band, along with the chorus, are practicing for the annual spring concert which will be held in the Central Point Jun ior High gymnasium May 15. The eighth grade class went on a skatin? party on Wed nesday April 30. Charles Mey er, school principal, and sev eral faculty members accom panied them. Twenty eighth grade stu dents and nineteen seventh grade students earned places on the honor roll for the fifth six-weeks period. Eighth graders are Carolyn Adams, Jeff Anhorn, Jan Bateman, By DOC QUIGG United Press Correspondent New York IIP) This is an anniversary in Manhattan. There is no official name for it but you will probably agree that the most fitting thing it could be called is simply bar gain day. On this day 332 years ago the year was 1626 the newly appointed director general of New Netherland, Peter Minuit, made a pur chase. He bought the island of Manhattan from the "savages" for a bunch of trading goods, knives, and trinkets valued at 60 guilders about S24. As they say in the real es tate game, he should-a held on to it. According to official figures, the assessed valuation of taxable real estate in Man hattan for the fiscal year 1957 58 is pushing $10 billion (oh, all right, if you want the ex act figure, 89,396,762,928). The island measures 22.3 square miles. Manhattan, of course, out values any of the other four boroughs, but the taxable real estate of the whole city comes to 22 billion. Became Capital Manhattan became- the na tion's capital in 1785, but five years later we moved the government out for something more important: Money. In 1653, the Dutch had built a "wall" for protection again st attack, and the site is now known as Wall Street. On it, in 1792, some brokers formed an organization, and seven years later Aaron Burr found- I cd the Manhattan Co. as a water company but with a clause permitting the opera tion of a bank. The Burr-founded firm now is the $7.8 billion Chase Man hattan Bank. The brokers' get-together has become the New York Stock Exchange, where 1,500 companies have listed 4,826,000,000 stock shares valued at a mere $22 billion. Also listed are $115 billion in bond issues. Also in the Wall Street area are the nation's second biggest stock exchange, the American; the world's big gest utility company, A.T.&T., valued at $17 billion; the $15 billion Metropolitan Life In surance Co.; the $13.6 billion Federal Reserve Bank of New York, and commercial banks and businesses too stupendous to think about. This tight little isle of lucre attracts four million visitors a year, folks who presumably just want to see how it feels to stand in the presence of so much ready moola. This in flux of tourists despite the warnings of the Daily News New York City guide and almanac about "traps for the unwary visitor." Lists Phonies ( It lists phony auctions, con fidence men, gamblers, pick pockets, thugs in dark corners of subway stations, and ends u p : "Dangerous criminals may be encountered after nightfall in the largest parks. They may resort to robbery, mugging, rape, or mayhem. Stay out of parks at night."

James Nelson of the eighth grade and Judy Hoberts of the seventh grade earned straight one's during this period. Travel To Europe May Set Record New York, (IP) More Americans will visit Europe this year than ever before, ac cording to advance travel re ports. The European Travel Com mission has estimated that more than 675,000 U. S. citi zens will visit Europe this year 75,000 more than last year. Passport and renewal appli cations in the first quarter of 1958. totalled 186,892, a 20 pef cent increase over the same period last year. About 75 per cent of the passports were for Western European desti nations. A gas will fill any vacant space in which it is placed. Nobody can deny that, since Minuit bargained big and won, we have had a flori ous history. George Washing ton and Capt. Kidd slept here. Bob Fulton huffed his first steamboat out of here in 1807. Sam Morse invented the tele graph here in 1837. Sometime after the Flat iron Building was built, at 23rd st., gay blades used to hang around its windy cor ners to see billowing skirts dis close a well-turned ankle or two. A cop was stationed at the corner to chase the loaf ers off. Hence it is said the nifty expression: "Twenty -three Skidoo." Around that time, too, in the old Waldorf bar, the martini was invented, and things haven't 'been the same since. French Forces Kill 436 Algerian Rebels Algiers. (IP) French forces killed 436 rebels and wounded 100 more during en gagements along the Algerian-Tunisian border last week military authorities here an nounced. French losses were also un usually heavy. Unofficial re ports said 38 French soldiers were killed and 33 wounded in the battles. The real name of Madame de Pompadour was Francoise d'Aubigne. She was born in a prison cell. ' j DEPORTEE CASE HEARD Ex-Red William Heikkila appears at San Francisco court where U. S. Judge Ed ward P.
