" begin," he says, "by showing them a dress that is narked at five thousand dollars, and then, while they still are shuddering, move gradu ally down the price scale through the three and two - thousand - dollar models. By the time I reach something for eight or nine. hundred dollars, it sounds so ludicrously cheap that the relieved ladies sometimes snap up two or three dresses at a time." "I never iave met yonr "wife," this executive added. You're darn right," I assured him, "and if I possibly can prevent it, you never will."

Until the atom bomb level led it on Aug. 6, 1945, Hiro shima was a teeming metro polis of narrow, crooked streets, of congested low- storied wooden structures, of people literally rubbing el bows as they trudged their way on the sidewalks and un paved roads. The Hiroshima of today is too modern for the oldtimers its not Hiroshima any more, not with its well - planned streets more than 100 feet wide and its ferro-concrete buildings. There is not a crooked, winding street in the Area Drivers Get Licenses Suspended Salem-The department of motor vehicles has released names of 450 drivers whose li censes were ordered suspend ed during the period begin ning Dec. 28 and ending Dec. 31. Length of suspension varies, depending on charges involv ed, recommendation of court, discretionary action by the de partment or requirements of Oregon law. The department said some of the licenses in volving court recommenda tions may have been rein stated after suspension was ordered. The department warned drivers that the penalty for driving while suspended is a jail sentence of no less than two days and up to six months, and there may be imposed a fine up to $500. Under licensing procedures, this will also result in an ad ditional year of suspension.

The result is that it seems almost empty. The citizens of Hiroshima rebuilt the city from scratch with a fervent feeling that there would be "no more Hiroshimas." Peace Ii Motive Peace has ever been the motive and inspiration of Hiroshima in its task of re construction. Only one grim reminder of its tragedy has been left untouched. The ruins of the Industrial Ex hibition Building are being preserved to mark the very spot over which the A-bomb is known to have exploded. Several acres of the city's choicest land has been de voted to a park, dedicated to peace, near the A-bomb blast site. A 100-meter-wide boule vard with trees and flowers in the center runs in front of the park. "The atomic bomb wiped out the bulk of the whole city and her population," Mayor Shinzo Hamai said. "When we started rebuilding, we saw to it that the new planning would have roads, parks and all other city facilities so built as to fully conform to the requirements on a mo dern city. - ' "The planning was put into effect and now we have a re born city whose central part is entirely new and modern. showing hardly any traces of the castle town which it was in the old days." . City Hall Gutted The City Hall was gutted by the A-bomb but its outer structure remained. The in ner sections have been rebuilt and the municipal administra tion functions there. But the scars still remain and the city eventually will build a new City Hall. The municipal assemblymen look with envious eyes on the new five-story Hiroshima prefec tural government building, which is certainly one of the finest of its kind in all Japan. The Chugoku Newspapers Company building in down town Hiroshima city with- stood the A-bomb although its interior was completely de stroyed. The owners have re constructed the old eight- story building into a 15-story structure. Both Mainichi and Asahi, Japan's two biggest news papers, have built fine new buildings in busy Hatchobori business and amusement cen ter, .where incidentally, there are more than 300 bars and cabarets. New Apartments Scores of government-built apartment houses provide liv ing quarters for a large per centage of the city's popula tion of more than 400,000. Hiroshima has not overlook ed the tourist industry. It has built a new Hiroshima castle along medieval architectural lines to replace the famous castle that was destroyed by the A-bomb. And Hiroshima has one of the finest baseball stadiums in the country. Equipped with the latest facilities and ac commodating 30,000, it was built on a corner of the form er Japanese Imperial Army parade grounds near the heart of the city. New Parks Built Meanwhile, 30 children's parks have been built throughout Hiroshima, which also boasts 48 kindergartens, 43 grammar schools, 29 "mid dle" schools, 23 high schools and seven colleges and uni versities. Reconstruction is far from complete, however. A drain age canal for flood protection is still being built; so are two wharves large enough to berth 10.000-ton ships. It will be a while before the job of building a com pletely new Hiroshima is fin ished. But the old city will not be forgotten; nor will the to I tragedy that made a new one necessary. . Superior Strength As Heart Attack Waynesburg, Pa.-(lPD-Even the strongest men die. And John Michalik was one of the strongest. A coal miner in his youth, Michalik manually filled many coal cars near this West ern Pensylvania community. He said that was where he got his strength. News of his muscle feats spread.

He pulled heavily loaded wagons with his teeth. He al lowed an automobile to roll over boards on his powerful chest. He took cat naps on a bed of nails.

They go to Japan. Just as they did with base ball, the Japanese have gone wacky over American tele vision series. Some 36 Holly wood teleseries now are beaming in the Land of the Rising Sun with horse operas in the lead. During World War II Japa nese troops charged American lines howling, "to hell with Babe Ruth." In the event of another war they might pos sibly yell "to hell with Jim Arness." "G u n s m o k e," in which , Arness stars as Marshall Matt Dillon, is among the top rat ed shows in the island empire. According to Bernard Kamis, vice president of the National Audience Board, Ja panese televiewers show al most the same tastes in video fare as American audience. Many Shows Dubbed "About half of the shows from this country are dubbed into J a p a n e s e," he said. "They are highly proficient in synchronizing the lip move ments of American actors with their language. "The other 50 per cent of the shows are presented in English.

English is be ing taught in the schools now, and many older Japanese have learned our language." In addition to running our filmed shows, Japanese pro ducers have taken to copy ing detective, situation come dy, drama and even western series with Japanese actors in the starring roles. Most popular returns in Ja pan today, says Kamins, are "Lassie," "Rin Tin Tin," "Leave it to Beaver,'" "Super man," and 'The Lone Ran ger" in the children's divi sion. To Investigate Reaction "I Love Lucy" and "Father Knows Best," two of the truly big TV hits, are in the select circle in Japan. Along with "Gunsmoke," the Japanese have gone wild over such other adventure dramas as "Bat Masterson," "Lawman," "William Tell," "Colt .45" and "Cannonball." Also highly esteemed are "Perry Mason," "The Donna Reed Show," "The Gale Storm Show," "The Million aire," "How to Marry a Mil lionaire." "The most amazing part of it all," Kamins said, "is that many of the reruns appear on Tokyo stations only a few weeks after they are seen in Frankfurters JUMBO FRANKS they're good! , LlPTOa Scr?
