OPEN SUNDAY
Sally M. - The jerks and
creeps go for me.
Carol S. - She is too sweet
to them.
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.

Local Afforney at
Idaho Institute
Carl M. 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.

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..

BERRY DESIGN MARKS LATE
VICTORIAN MILK-GLASS PIECES
Berry glass is that in which
the principal feature of the
design is berries.
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.
