It's a situation comedy. And in this era of western and detective thrillers situation comedy is as risky as fan dancing at a PTA meeting. - With such shows as "De cember Bride" and The Bob Cummings and Phil Silvers programs biting ' the coaxial dust this year it would seem unreasonable to buck the trend against rib-ticklers. But O'Keefe is confident his situationer about a New York columnist will strike pay dirt. He is committed to film 39 segments. "The other situation comedy shows had four or five bril liant years before they went off the air," he said, "and I think we can do the same thing. People want to laugh. That was proved when several sponsors offered to buy our show." No Horse Opera Asked why he didn't "at tempt a horse opera or private eye series, O'Keefe had an immediate explanation. "I played dramatic roles, adventurers, detectives and straight parts in movies for years," he explained. "But the only pictures of mine the public remembers are the comedies." Where has Dennis been for the past four.or five years? "In Europe making movies for my own company, 'Pen dennis Productions'," he said. "I came back to Hollywood to establish a future for my self in TV something like Dick Powell and Desi Arnaz have done. Hopes for World-Wide Series , "Eventually, I hope "to re turn to Europe to make the first true world-wide televi sion series. I plan to collect 39 top scripts and shoot them in different locations in Afri ca, South America, Europe and the Orient. It will be titled 'Johnny Paris,' but I won't act in the series. I'll produce and maybe direct a few of them." As of now, O'Keefe has his hands full turning out one segment a week for "The Den nis O'Keefe Show." . The comedy is based on his antics with celebrities and characters- he encounters as a columnist. Dennis portrays a widower with a 10-year-old son who is badgered by his housekeeper, hatchet - faced Hope Emerson. . "I have a few girl friends, too," O'Keefe said, "but I'm not a Robert Cummings-type wolf. It's a wholesome pro gram with lots of laughs, and I m convinced it will be a hit." Central Point Rural Called to 3 Fires Three fires in grass and grain fields were extinguished Monday afternoon and Tues day by the Central Point Rural Fire department.

A third fire was reported at the West Side school at Ross lane and Old Stage rd. which burned an area about 50 by 100 feet, Tuesday morning. There are about 8,000 phys ical therapists in the United States and the total demand has been set at 14,000 more at present. About 3,000 grad uates are needed each year. International Rotary President in Eugene Eugene - A highlight in the history of ,the local district of Rotary International will be the visit of Harold T. Thomas, International Rotary president, to Eugene on Aug. 7.. Rotarians from throughout the district are planning to attend a dinner at 6:45 p.m. at the Eugene hotel that date. The Rotary clubs of Spring field and Eugene' are co-hosting the affair, and delegations are expected from all the clubs in the district, which includes southern Oregon. Thomas is from Auckland, New Zealand, where in pri vate life he is a leading fig ure in commerce. Accompany ing him on the United States trip is his wife. Thomas' official visit will be the first such for the Ro tary district. ' 'Bump' from Bite Is Reaction to Allergy, SC Says Ottawa, Canada -(Science Service)-The "bump" that re- j suits when a mosquito bites you is an ellergic reaction. It is not, as many persons, including scientists, had believed-, the result of the in sect's injecting a poisonous substance that irritates the skin. - . Tests with laboratory ani mals and some humarts show that they can be sensitized to mosquito bites by injections of mosquito extract or by re peated exposures to mosquito bites. The immediate reac tion, described as the appear ance of a "soft, whitish wheal" surrounded by a red area, occurs only in sensitized animals, Dr. J. A. McKiel of the Department of National Health and Welfare here re ports. This indicates an aller gic response. Fail to Raise Wheals Injecting rabbits and guinea pigs with mosquito extracts failed to produce any toxic symptoms in the animals, Dr. McKiel says. The suggestion made by some scientists that mosquitoes inject histamine into the wound and that this causes the immediate bite re action is also "untenable,' he says. Injections of a histamine compound failed to raise wheals in either bite-sensitive or normal animals. Analysis of extracts pre pared from mosquitoes at var ious stages in the insect's life cycle shows that the allergen ic material develops late in the transformation of the mos quito, from larva to adult. Dr. McKiel founH that the male mosquito, while he does not I take "blood-meals, does con tain the same allergenic ma terial as the famale. About 7,500 mosquitoes were cut up, separating the head and thorax or "chest" from the abdominal region, to discover the origin of this al lergenic substance. It is lim ited to the head-thorax region, Dr. uMcrueT"says, probably In the salivary glands. Comparison of reactions to the bites of different species of mosquitoes . indicates that the allergenic material is a complex one or ones. The evidence is against its being a single, simple chemical com pound, Dr. McKiel concludes. Details of his study appear in the current issue of the Canadian Journal of Zoology. Canada has a land area of 3,846,000 square miles, but a population of only 17 mil lion about that of New York state. J THE TOY HOUSE C BRINGS YOU THE MOST ACTION PACKED SALE IN MEDFORD'S HISTORY!
