WAt4ay, Jan. 13, I960 MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Or. Try and Stop Me By BENNETT CERF X A PRIM, PURITANICAL person from the sticks was mak ing her first visit to New York, and her nephew insisted, over her protest, that an autumnal afternoon at the horss races be included in her - itinerary. Interested in spite of herself in the business of betting at the track, the lady noted that a horse named "Frugality" was entered in the fifth race, and plunked down a $10 bill on the nose. It won, too at odds of 16 to 1! The nephew steered his aunt to the payoff win dow, where the clerk re deemed her ticket for sixteen crisp $10 bills. Auntie swept them up in her purse, then shook a finger at the clerk, "Young man," the admonished, Let this be a lesson to you!" .-., American movie magnates once persuaded "Winston Churchill to come and see a film called "A Yank at Oxford."

The local board of the se lective service system an nounced that it has become necessary to put the penalty into effect because of the in creased failure of youths to register on time. An appeal is being made to parents, especially mothers, who are concerned about their son's draft status to Step Toward OSC Liberal Arts Reported Portland - (UPD - Another step toward allowing Oregon State college to offer liberal arts majors was taken Tues day. . - The State Board of Higher Education's curriculum com mittee gave its stamp of ap proval to 20 "strong minor" groups of courses at OSC. The board recently decided to allow Oregon State to offer liberal arts majors providing they include strong minors in science. Four of the six members of the board were present. Com mittee approval usually means board approval. The committee told the OSC group to revise its proposals for minors in foods, nutrition, institution, management and - textiles. Botany Minor OK' The committee said that in the case of the approved gen eral science minor it would reconsider in two years and hoped to increase require ments. A botany minor one hour short of board standards was approved as the commit tee said the quality of the course, not the lack of one term - hour, should decide whether a minor is accept able. A discussion on the chemis try minor brought a question from Dr. Ralph E. Purvine of Salem: "What good will it do?" - Dr. William Crooks, head of the OSC psychology depart ment, said: "He will know something of chemistry; that's all." It was brought out that a student who completes the minor would be able to teach chemistry, in high school to which Crooks replied: ' "Regrettably yes." Auto Mechanics Courses Slated Three auto mechanics courses will be offered by the adult education department of the Medford public schools starting Feb. 15, Lindsay M. Vinsel, director, has announc ed.

Additional information re garding tuition and registra tion may be obtained from the adult education department at Medford High school. Rockets were first used in -warfare by the Chinese, .in wars against the Mongols some 700 years ago make sure he has registered at the proper time. The board said that one Medford boy who registered late will be inducted later this month for that reason. It is required by law that all young men must register on their 18th birthday or with in five days thereafter, even though they may be members of a reserve or National Guard group. On Military Duly The law also states that those men on regular active military duty who have not registered before must regis ter within 30 days of their dis charge. " -j A draft board spokesman pointed out that the purpose of registration is not only to provide lists of prospective peacetime draftees, but also to let the government know what manpower would be available should total war mo bilization be necessary. Registrants are cautioned to bring to their place of re gistration, a birth certificate or a statement from their par ents or guardians verifying their; birth date, birth place and full legal name.

Addressing the Benton county Republican central committee Tuesday n i g h,t Gunnar said Oregon's Demo cratic party "is turning back the clock to the era of boss rule and the smoke - filled room." GOP Seeks Reaction "The issues facing the. peo ple in 1960," he declared, "are so complex and serious they warrant more than a one day study. For this reason the Republican party has been at work since last summer get ting grass roots reaction and participation in a" statewide policy and action committee, and its reports will soon be released." Gunnar said the state Demo cratic convention is "the brain child of a handful of Democratic party wheelhorses who are using it to get tight fisted control -of the party while describing the conven tion in the usual glowing terms." .
