Public Service Man
To Speak in Area
William' H. Thompson, man
ager of public service for
Union Oil company, will visit
Medford, Grants Pass and
Ashland this week. He will
speak on "Juvenile Decency"
emphasizing the good being
done by at least 97 per cent of
teenagers in the community.
Time and place for the
speaking engagement will be
announced later, Union Oil
representatives here said.
Thompson is the creator of
the "Mr. Wimple" and "Old
Timer" characters on the Fib
ber McGee and Molly radio
show, and spent 10 years with
Walt Disney as a writer-actor
on cartoon productions cover
ing safety, fire prevention
and traffic safety.
Among the voices he cre
ated were those of the White
Rabbit in "Alice in Wonder
land," the bumble-headed Mr.
Smee in -"Peter Pan" and
most of the dog voices, in
cluding "Jock" in 'Lady and
the Tramp."
Thompson's activities are
part of Union Oil company's
extensive youth development
program based on its "76
Sports Club."
Vets Can Save Time
In Paying Premiums
Ways for some GI insur
ance policyholders to save
lime ana money in making
premium navments and at the
same time avoid the chance
of a lapsed policy were sug
gested today by S. T. Bran
nock, contact representative,
VA Domiciliary, Camp White.
Veterans who draw- VA
compensation are urged to
have their premiums taken
out of their enmnensatinn
payments. Brannock pointed
out that this Drocedure saves
the veteran the time and ex
pense of drawing a check or
money order and mailing it
to a va insurance office.
Veterans who are drawing
retirement "pay may also have
the branch of the service with
which they are - connected
make out an allotment from
their retirement pay to cover
their GI insurance premium
payment. This too saves the
veteran the time and expense
of making his payment direct
to the VA, and insures him
against a lapse of his insur
ance.
