Paar Agrees To
Return To Show
New York -UP&- Jack Paar

al Broadcasting Company has
announced.
The agreement was reached
at a Florida conference be
tween Paar and NBC's two
top executives, President Rob
ert E. Kintner and Board
Chairman Robert Sarnoff.
Thus apparently ended one
of the most widely' viewed
spats in entertainment his
tory. Paar walked off his pro

across the country Thursday
night in a tearful protest at
the manner in which NBC had
censored a questionable joke
from his previous night's pro

Joanne H.-The heck with it
-I'll be an old maid.
Mrs. F. H.-I am very much
concerned about my daughter
Joanne, who is 24, a college
graduate and career gal with
no social life whatever.
Joanne could be an attrac
tive girl if she paid a little
more attention to her clothes
and makeup, but she says she
doesn't like to bother with
things like that. She has a
good job and could afford to
take her vacations at fine ho
tels where she would meet
interesting men, but she pre
fers to stay home and read
and put her money in the
stock market.
All my friends tell me that
Joanne is just too smart for
her own good. She was al
ways first in her class and
scared off all the boys. I can't
convince her that a smart girl
must know when to play
dumb.
Joanne H.-AU my life my
mother and various idiot girl
friends have been trying to
convince me that I ought to
play dumb. Well, if I have
to part with my mind in order
to capture a man, the heck
with it. I'll be an old maid.
My mother keeps bothering
me about my social life, but
she doesn't realize that I have
a much better time when I
am home reading than when
I am out with some stupid
man who thinks nuclear fis
sion means fishing for some
new kind of fish.
I feel that I can have quite
a full life without marriage,
if necessary- I love my job.
I'm making good money
enough to put away a nice
nest egg for my old age. I
enjoy sports and reading and
have a few very intelligent
women friends.
The Council: We believe
that the popularly held idea
that men do not like brainy
women is completely false
and has been proven so by
countless brilliant women
through the ages. These worn- j
en excited at least as much
male response with their in
teresting minds as they did
with their feminine charms.
There has, however, always
been the type of woman who
has used her mind to slug
men. This type of woman dis
likes and fears men. Without
the advantages of education
such a woman might fight
men off by a surly personality
or gruff, masculine manner
isms. She will not permit a
man to like her as a feminine
human being. .
It is true that an unedu
cated man will flee from a
woman (or anyone else) who
insists upon talking to him
in six-syllable words with con
cepts about which he knows
nothing. This, however, isn't
a sexual question. It's a mat
ter of survival. Non-eggheads
have a right to live too. Ordi
nary good manners should
prevent anyone from stuffing
erudite information down the
throats of another individual
who has no desire to swallow.
What puzzles us about Jo
anne's case is why a girl of
her accomplishments is forced
to discuss nuclear fission with
a man who doesn't dig it. Can
it be that she is avoiding men
who have her own interests
and background? Can it be
that she is afraid to put that
super-I.Q. against a clever
man? Or does she pronounce
a man "stupid" for little or
no reason-and then give him
no opportunity to reveal what
is in him?
The human population is
growing nicely without Jo
anne's assistance so we won't
try to persuade her not to be
an old maid if that is what
she really wants. But if she
eventually begins to feel that
her life is lonely and empty,
we think that she should be
aware her surplus of brains
is not at fault, but rather her
lack of heart, feminine
warmth and interest in men.
We don't think it's at all nec
essary for women like Joanne
to play dumb in order to be
liked by men-but merely to
give men an occasional chance
to play smart.

Airport Activities Reviewed
(Editor's note: This is the
fifth in a series of articles
describing the purposes,
1959 accomplishments and
1960 plans of Medford's 18
departments, boards and
commissions as they were
reported at the city's Living
Annual Report banquet last
week. This article gives an
account of the reports of the
legal department, municipal
court and municipal airport.)
LEGAL DEPARTMENT
The codification of the
city's ordinances and the first
jury trial were the two most
outstanding activities of 1959
in which the legal department
took a part, City Attorney
Joel Reeder reported.
utner tnan taKe part m
those two events, most of the
legal department's activities
were of a routine nature,
Reeder said.
It is the responsibility of
the legal department to pre
pare ordinances and resolu
tions, attend various meetings,
render legal advice to the city
council, planning commission,
water commission and all de
partment heads, he said.
In addition, the city attor
ney represents the City of
Medford in the circuit, district
and municipal courts.
Done on Contract
The new code, Reeder point
ed out, was primarily done by
the bureau of municipal re
search on the basis of a con
tract with the city, but the
legal office had the primary
responsibility on the city's be
half, and worked as liaison be
tween the various department
heads of the city administra
tion and the bureau.
Reeder said the purpose of
the codification of the city's
ordinances was to place all of
the substantive ordinances of
the city in a single volume,
thoroughly indexed and in
logical order.
It is important to note, he
said, that the Medford code
will be the substantive law of
the city and not merely prima
facie evidence of the law, as
the individual ordinances
were before.
The project was a lengthy
one, Reeder pointed out, be
ginning m 1958.

The 1959 Oregon legislature
enacted a bill giving the right
of trial by jury to all persons
prosecuted for punishable of
fenses under any city charter
or ordinance, and this law be
came effective in Medford on
Aug. 1, 1959, at which time
the city adopted an ordinance
which sets forth the procedure
to facilitate the substantive
portions of the law as enacted
by the legislature, according
to Reeder.
Model Ordinance
The city's ordinance, Reed
er says, is now being prepared
by the bureau of municipal re
search as one of the model
ordinances for other cities in
the state to follow.
The first jury trial under
the new law was held Dec. 18
last year. This is the only jury
trial held so far, he pointed
out.
In 1960, the major project
to be undertaken by the legal
department will be the re
vision of the city charter.
The purpose of this revision
will be to delete those sec
tions which are obsolete, any
ambiguities that now exist
and greatly streamline the
contents to better facilitate
the needs of "our growing
city," Reeder concluded.
MUNICIPAL COURT
The Medford municipal
judge is - appointed by the
mayor with the consent and
approval of the city council
for a term of one year and
his duties consist primarily of
the (judicial and administra
tion of violations of the city
charter and ordinances.
Municipal Judge Alan
Holmes, who outlined the du
ties of his office at the ban
quet, is now serving his sec
ond term.
There are also two pro-tem
judges, Dick Courtright and
Don Ricketts, who serve with
out cost to the city.
Holmes said it is the prac
tice of the court to consider
public intoxication and vag
rancy offenses every morning
at 8 o'clock Monday through
Friday and to consider viola
tions of the traffic code and
other ordinances at 8:30
o'clock Mondoy, Wednesday
and Friday mornings.
Time for Trials
He added that cases in
which a defendant has enter
ed a plea of innocent are tried
formally after traffic matters
have been disposed of.
Judge Holmes pointed out
that a raise last year increased
his salary to $3,000 a year
which, he feels, is adequate in
view of the time necessary to
do the job.
The court is served, he said,
by agents of the finance office
and a clerk, neither of whose
duties are full time with the
court.
In addition to the impartial
administration of the law, the
court also has the job of di
recting the preparation of
transcripts on every motor
vehicle violation to be for
warded to the department of
motor vehicles in Salem.
Prepares Opinions
The court also prepares
opinions on decisions in con
tested cases and transcripts on
cases appealed to the circuit
court.
He noted that none of the
7.012 cases handled in 1959
were appealed.
Because of the recent adop
tion of the right to a trial by
jury in municipal court,
Holmes says he anticipates
that a greater number of ma
jor traffic offenses, particu
larly driving under the in
fluence and reckless driving,
will be tried by juries in the
court.
Although there was only
one jury case in 1959, he said
that as more defendants be
come aware of this right it is
expected that more requests
for the . jury trial will be
made.
Holmes said the court rec
ommends that the city attor
ney, in conjunction with the
city council, give prompt con
sideration to increasing the
maximum penalties now limit
ed to $100 by the city charter
as well as include a provision
for court costs.
Basis for Recommendation
This recommendation is
based, for example, on the
fact that a defendant may be
arrested for driving while
under the infleunce of in
toxicating liquor in the city
and cited into either the dis
trict or municipal court, ac
cording to Holmes.
Upon conviction, he point
ed out, the minimum fine im
posed in the district court is
$250 and $5 court costs to
gether with the possibility of
incarceration in the county
jail for a maximum of one
year.
On the other hand, he said,
on conviction in municipal
court for the same offense, the
maximum pentalty is $100, no
court costs and a maximum
incarceration of 50s day in the
city jail.
"The judicial inequality of
treatment to the same de
fendant in exactly the same
circumstances needs no furth
er comment," Holmes said.
Another 1960 recommenda
tion will be to employ a full
time court clerk to handle the
increasing amount of duties
which must be performed,
Holmes concluded.
MUNICIPAL AIRPORT
The capital improvements
program at the Medford muni
cipal airport, which was initi
ated in 1951, was completed
last year, G. J. Gutjahr, act
ing airport manager, reported.
This program, involving an
investment of more than
$500,000, included the con
struction of the terminal build
ing, the purchase of nearly
100 acres of land to insure a
safe approach to the runways,
the installation of high inten
sity lights on the main run
way, reconstruction and re
surfacing of the main runway
and adjacent taxiways and
the fencing of a portion of the
field.
Gutjahr noted that the fed
"al government paid 56 per
cent or w ost of the pro
gram. Surface Lots
In addition to the comple
tion of the long-range project,
1959 also saw two automobile
parking lots surfaced, addi
tional and improved tie-down
facilities for aircraft provid
ed, and landscaping in front
of the terminal started, he
pointed out.
Gutjahr said that at the
present time there are more
than 40 different individuals
and agencies of the federal
government leasing and oc
cupying various properties
and facilities at the airport.
He reported that as a result
of the increased air activity
in the Medford area, the air
port gained sufficient revenue
to cover all operating ex
penses in 1959 in addition to
paying a, portion of the out
standing bond obligations.
In 1960, he said, work will
proceed on additional parking
facilities, landscaping and
plans for a new field commer
cial area for which application
to the federal government for
financial assistance has been
made.

and 4:30 p.m. and on Satur
days from 10 a.m. to noon.
Parents may pick up the
candy mints. All boys selling
candy must have the applica
tion signed by their parents.
Plan to Increase
il Fares Proposed
Washington (DPD-Rep. Her
bert Zelenko (D-N. Y.) has
proposed legislation to permit
railroads to raise commuter
fares without costing their
passengers anything extra.
Zelenko said his bill would
go a long way "in helping to
solve the commuter crisis,"
and would "eliminate the ne-
t MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Or. O
Wednesdiy, Feb. 17, 1960
cessity for abandoning any
more commuter railroads."
The bill would give com
muters a credit against their
income tax?s equal to any
fare increases they paid above
the rate prevailing on Jan. 1
of this year.
