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. He laid claim to being the
first man to solo over the polar ice-cap in a light plane.
Dennis Crosby Weds Showgirl
Las Vegas. Nev. 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."

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

"Tom Sawyer" was the

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

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

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

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."

man. 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.
