Sally M. - I am a fairly at tractive girl of 20 and my problem is men! I do have my troubles with them. For some reason or other all the jerks and creeps at tach themselves to me. The half-pints, five-by-fives, bald guys and older men always head straight my way. I have never gone out with a really nice, attractive guy. My friends say I'm much too kind to the creeps, but somehow I can't insult them. Some of them are really nice guys, but they have no con fidence and they act stupidly with girls. I'm so used to them, I've learned to put them at their ease. But I would like to go out with some of the good-looking fellows who nev er pay any attention to me. Carol S. - I've always told Sally she must be more ag gressive if she wants to make out with some of the better looking, more popular fellows. Her trouble is she stands around shyly while the other girls walk off with the top prizes. Then the leftovers start approaching her and she is very sweet to all of them. She has really gone out with some weird specimens-some of them have never gone out with any other girl! It is really a shame too! Sally is a very pretty girl when she is relaxed and hav ing a good time. She has a wonderful personality and everyone likes her - but the nicest guys think of her as a sister. . The Council: These girls are a bit too old to place quite so much stress on physical at tractiveness. They are out of their teens and should start evaluating men on the basis of character and accomplish ment. They will soon discover that the men with the greater personality resources tend to look better as the years go on. Sally appears to be too timid in more ways than one. We have the impression that she has far too little confi dence in her own judgement and is easily intimidated by the opinions of others. She has found that some of the so-called "creeps" are nice guys and has evidently en joyed their company. If she didn't like them to some de gree she could never have put any of them at their ease. If it is really a "top prize" Sally wants, she should real ize she is in for some rough competition. She should be willing to put herself out in an aggressive spirit to get one of the men who now pay her no attention or treat her like a sister. If, however, Sally wants in teresting friendships and an eventual happy marriage, we'd suggest she follow her personal ideas and ideals even if they lead her away from the "prizes." Incidentally, we think it is very possible that some of those harried, sought - after prizes ' may eventually get tired of the more aggressive girls and develop an interest in quiet, kindly Sally.

Brophy, member of the firm of Duncan, Brophy, Wilson and Duhaime, Med ford attorneys, addressed the Idaho State Bar association at its annual fall meeting insti tute this week in Moscow, Idaho. The institue is part of the Idaho Bar association's con tinuing legal education pro gram to keep lawyers abreast of current developments in various fields of law. Brophy's subject concerned the corporation laws relating to restrictions on transfers of corporate stock and particu larly stock buy and sell agree ments between stockholders and stockholders and the cor poration. , The local attorney gave a similar address to Oregon lawyers last spring as part of the Oregon State Bar's pro gram on continuing legal edu cation. Brophy is expected to return to Medford tomorrow. What happened to newspaper reading with the advent of TV? 4 'X,V"',ju"" 'i'"it' tin issMiiMii i win PP"', "1 one of a ANSWER: NEWSPAPER READING INCREASED. A 10-year study of "Videotown" (New Brunswick, N. J.) made by Cunningham & Walsh advertising agency shows that of all major media, newspapers alone remained un affected by TVs arrival in the American home. As a matter of fact, the study revealed that newspaper read ing actually gained in popularity among adults in the home!

This six-shooter, which was also used by the Navy at the turn of the century, was pur chased in limited quantity for the Army, probably not more than 1,000 being purchased in all. It has a six-and-a-half inch, tapered blued barrel marked marking. When he found an other with the marking, plus ivory, grips which the original owner ordered put on, he paid $125 for it. The grips did not enhance the value by more than $15. As a weapon, the revolver was no better thart the one he re jected.

MEXICO REPRODUCES 1840 BRITISH STAMP TO HONOR POSTAL SERVICES If one country reproduces the stamp of another, the act is generally frowned upon as counterfeiting-just as much as if the item were paper money. And so when an acquaint ance told me he had just paid $20 for an official reproduc tion of a British stamp by the Mexican government, I went along to take a look. He was quite correct. The reproduction wa's a perfect likeness of the first stamp ever used for postage pur poses. It was what is known as the one penny black that was issued in 1840. However, the purchase in re producing it was not to coun terfeit but to honor the Brit ish for having make the great est contribution to the devel opment of postal service. The stamp was reproduced as the principal ornament on a ser ies of large Mexican airmail stamps issued in 1940 to com memorate the 100th anniver-' sary of postage stamps. The reproduction was sur rounded by the legend which reads in translation, "England May 6, 1840, centennary of the first postage stamp in the world." The Mexican series ranged in denominations from five centavos to five pesos. The stamp I was looking at was a gray-green. and reddish-brown item that had been lightly cancelled. According to Scott catalogue, its value was $30, but the item had been priced for a quick sale. As for the value of the one penny black, surprisingly enough, they can still be bought for $1'0 to $15 can celled and $70 to $90 uncan celled. Their design consists of a portrait of Queen Victoria, facing left. In each of the lower corners is a small square containing a letter. The letters differ and are used to indicate the position of the stamp in its original sheet. If the letters are B in the left corner and C in the other, the stamp was in second hori zontal and third ' vertical rows. Peddlers May Be Violating County Regulations A number of peddlers may may be violating an ordinance without realizing it, and the county may be losing some additional revenue also with out knowing it, according to Karl Janouch, county treas urer. . , Answering an inquiry from the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce, Janouch dis covered peddlers selling goods outside any city limits must make a deposit in the county treasurer's office equal to the license fee. The license fee is $25 for those selling on foot and $100 for those using "a conveyance." The regulation does not apply to those selling agricultural goods, Janouch said. ' May Be Charged ' Those violating this law may be charged with a mis demeanor and are subject to a fine of from $50 to $500 and, or to a jail sentence of from one to six months. Janouch said he has not had any inquiries about this regu lation since 1952 when a half dozen peddlers came in to ask about it. They left without paying anything, he said. "No peddlers have that kind of money," the county treasurer said. "Also, most of them sell in the city limits. Then they come under city regulation and not county regulation." ; Janouch said another thing which makes this law particu larly undesirable from the salesman's point of view is that an invoice of the wares must be filed. Last such license applica tion filed was in April 30, 1947, according to the county treasurer's records..

It was quite common along in the 1870 and '80s, and to day is generally has a fairly high collector's value. Why there was such a rush to ornament sets of glassware with berries, I don't know. Probably one manufacturer brought out a design featur ing currants, and, when it caught on; a competitor coun tered with another honoring the raspberry. In any case, it' wasn't too long before the glassmakers had to start doub ling up, at which point glass ware appeared featuring two and even three different kinds on the same item. Just which kind of berry glass is the most sought after at the moment is impossible to say, but that with the strawberry design has long been one of the most desir able. , As a rule', the strawberry design is a simple one, consist ing of a vine carrying both berries and leaves. Its use is generally restrained. On the goblets, for example, the de sign is restricted to the lower part of the bowl, the upper part being left plain. What firms made it I have been unable to learn, but it is usually found only in milk white glass. Even that, how ever, is rare enough so that the goblets command a price of from $10 to $18 each. As for the pitcher that should go with them, that is so rare that I have seen only one. The owner most unreas onably demanded S50 for it, and got it, too, though not .from me. Oddly enough, the straw berry design is rarer still in clear glass goblets in that commanding half again or even more as much as in the milk white. So far as other colors go, I have seen one piece- in the strawberry design that was appropriately done in red. It was a suger bowl and was not for sale.
