Deaf Dog Fitted With Hearing
Aid; Still in Need of Master
Pittsburgh - (UPD - A per
son who is deaf finds it quite
easy to sympathize with some
one in a similar plight.
L. M. Meyers is deaf. So is
Bill.
Bill's case is sadder than
most. Bill is a puppy. And no
one wants a pooch that can't
hear.
Bill was found on the
streets of Pittsburgh - home
less and nameless. He was
taken in by the Animal
Friends refuge. They soon
discovered that Bill couldn't
hear.
So did all prospective mas-
Minister's Estate
Mostly Insurance
Salem-IUPD - Bulk of the
estate of the late Reverened
Brooks H. Moore and his wife,
Feme, was $10,000 in insur
ance, according to a Marion
county probate filing.
The Moores were killed
Dec. 21 in a traffic accident
in south-central Oregon. Two
nearly identical wills leave
half the money to the First
Methodist Church of Salem,
of which Dr. Moore was min
ister. Executrix Adeline Wilson
and Jocelyn Jewell Potter of
Salem receive requests of
$2,500 each. The Potter girl
is the godchild of the Moores.
Miss Wilson' was Dr.
Moore's secretary for many
years.

ters. They were touched by
the pathetic looks of this
short - haired, fawn - colored
pup. But a dog that couldn't
hear? Too many problems.
Meyers, the president of
Radio-ear Corp. which man
ufactures hearing aids, read
about Bill in a Pittsburgh
newspaper.
"Being deaf myself, I can
sympathize with the puppy's
plight," he explained.
Meyers offered his firm's
laboratory to test the dog's
hearing and last week Bill
went to the laboratory in
nearby Canonsburg for the
tests.
Attendants attached a hear
ing aid to his ear and a bat
tery to his collar.
Promise Kept.
Various tones were fed into
his ear. Then a high frequen
cy note. The dog reared up,
tossed his head.
There was hope. Meyers
kept his promise the dog was
fitted with a hearing aid.
An now Bill is leading a
dog's life-which with a hear
ing aid isn't so bad after all.
But Bill still needs one
thing to make that dog's life
complete a master. His new
friends feel he'll have one
soon.

Hollywood Marriages, Divorces, Deaths in '59
By VERNON SCOTT

Hollywood -(UPD The year
1959 held the usual number of
movieland milestones - mar
riages, divorces, bizarre bran
nigans, deaths and eyebrow
lifting romances.
Number one story of the
year was the riotous Debbie

Sterling Hayden provided a
sideshow of his own by defy
ing a court order and sailing
off for the South Seas with
his children. And Robert
Mitchum was good for laughs
when a runty Irishman clob
bered him in an Irish pub.
Mickey Rooney and Jack
Parr jarred televiewers with
a display of bad manners
while Gracie Allen retired as
partner of husband George
Burns. Little Evelyn Rudie
ran off to Washington, D.C.,
aboard an airliner to talk to
Mamie Eisenhower - but was
sent home disappointed.
Two highly publicized pic
tures laid turkey eggs. "Porgy
and Bess" and "The Diary, of'
Anne Frank," but "Ben-Hur,"
the most expensive film ever
made-looked like a boxoffice
champion.
Divorces . and separations
were as abundant as ever. The
following stars were in the
1959 list: . Terry Moore,. Mar
lon Brando, Joan Caulfield,
Vera Miles, Jim Arness, Deb
orah Kerr, Ernest Borgnine,
May Britt, Vic Damone, Ar-
lene Dahl, Sammy Davis,
Glenn Ford, Betty Hutton and
Efrem Zimbalist Jr.
Taking the plunge to the
altar '59 were: Vic Mature,
Rod Steiger, June Lockhart,
Margaret O'Brien, Gia Scala,
Dorothy Malone and Jacques
Bergerac, Nick Adams, Dale
Robertson, Barbara Rush and
Arlene Howell.
During the year the stork
flapped over the homes of
Jane Mansfield, Joan Caul
field, Janet Leigh and Tony
Curtis, Bing' Crosby and
Kathy Grant, Jerry Lewis,
and Marlon Brando and Anna
Kashfi.
Death stalked this celluloid
city claiming more lives in
1959 than in many past years.
Among those who died were
Cecil B. DeMille, Errol Flynn,
Lou Costello, Wayne Morris,
Mario Lanza, Paul Douglas,
Kay Kendall, Ethel Barry
more, Gilda Gray, Edmond
Gwenn, Steve (Superman)
Reeves and Alfalfa Switzer.
