Hundreds of pictures of cake cutting have been printed in The Medford Mail Tribune, but never one quite like that printed below. This picture shows a former mayor of Medford, Earl Gaddis, cutting an anniversary cake served at the Student Government day banquet, while Seth M. (Mr. Medford) Bullis stands by to give his moral support. The cake was served at the banquet, given by Medford Elks, to call attention to the 75th anniversary of the founding of Medford. A I Both the former mayor and Mr. Bullis have seen many a day come and go in Medford, and both have taken an active part in shaping the city's destiny. Mr. Gaddis,: who was mayor of the city in 1923-24, recalled that he came to Med ford in the spring of 1903, riding a horse. He was born in Roseburg, and although the former mayor has traveled in many other parts of the United States, still believes that southern Oregon is a wonderful place to live. Mr. G. was on the city council before he became mayor, and after his term in the mayor's office, was water commis sioner for a number of years. During this period the city began to develop its modern municipal water system, bring ing water from Big Butte springs. Mr. Bullis arrived in Medford in March of 1913 "in a snow storm." He recalled that it took five steam engines to pull the Southern Pacific coaches over the Siskiyou moun tains. Mr. B., with his father and a brother, were interested in the Sterling gold mine. They installed an electric power system and other modern mining equipment. After a time gold mining became less profitable, so the operation was closed and Mr. Bullis eventually went to St. Cloud, Minn., where he worked with the St. Cloud Public Service com pany, which served a large territory. ' : - But the man who in 1960 would be called "Mr. Medford" by some of his cohorts, liked the far West and returned in 1918 to become division superintendent of The California Oregon Power company, and stayed with they firm until his retirement a few years ago. In the almost 20 years Potpourri has known Mr. B., he has been president or chairman of many public service groups, such as Red Cross and Civic Music. What's more, he has so many friends he's invited to almost as many .wed ding as the society editor and is a faithful patron of dozens of benefits. . "What kind of pictures are you having today another one of Princess Margaret?" inquired "Shorty," the make up man one morning this week as we prepared to put the women's page together. "None of Margaret today," we said. "But I have 10 upstairs." When he gasped , and looked startled, -the society editor assured him that just because they came in on the wire machine didn't mean we would run them. "Well, there's one sure thing," offered Printer George Longie. "After the Princess is married not many people will be able to say they keep up with the Joneses." . Nothing is sacred from students who decided to conduct surveys. From Grenoble, France, comes word that a group of students worked for two years on a survey of how many lies people tell. According to Women's News Service, the students found that an honest man tell five fibs per day, and an honest woman tells up to ten. A dishonest man averages fifty per day, and "we have not been able to reach an approximate figure for dishonest women." There must be a reason for this horrible conclusion, but right now we can't think what it could be. O.S. ' ' ' Mating Game Now Aided By Electronics Device is.:, Gay Pauley By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor New York -(UPD- Twentieth century electronics have come to the aid of a ritual old as man-kind-the mat ing game. The m e chanical brain to some de gree even measures sex appeal, that quality which makes a Mari 1 y n Monroe into a global institution, says Lee. Morgan, a graduate so ciologist. Miss Morgan, a brown-eyed brunette in her early 30s, and happily wed, is founder and director of the Scientific In troduction Service, Inc., an organization which uses the push-button as well as per sonal approach to help those searching for a mate. Miss Morgan, a graduate of New York university, said that in the four years she has directed the service, she has introduced between 5,000 and 6,000 persons most of them in their 20's and 30's. The marriage rate runs "between 10 and 15 per cent." What Happens Here is what happens to the eligible person who subscribes to the service. First, there is a lengthy interview with Miss Morgan and another one of her staff trained in psychol ogy, during which your case history is recorded your age (yes, women must tell), wheth er you have been married be fore, if so, whether there were any children, where you were born, your family background, religion, education, present job, approximate income, hob bies and other interests, if you're a woman your attitude toward your careers, and the type of mate you're looking for - quiet, garrulous, book wormish, athletic, handsome or average. There is also a handwriting analysis and a test of your im agination and emotional re action when you're asked to create a story to go with a series of pictures. Then the service checks yours, business connections -"we bend over backwards to check a person's background," she said. ; Miss Morgan then compiles a dossier and "arrives at cer tain conclusions about your type." All this basic informa tion is entered on a punch card - pink for the girls, blue for the men, naturally. Electronic Sorter ; Your card along with hun dreds of others is tossed into an electronic sorter, and 20 to 30 possibilities ultimately are selected for you. These may be narrowed even furth er, when Miss Morgan re views the file - "you still have to depend . on human judg ment, no matter what a ma chine says," she explained. Introduction is arranged by telephone, and Miss Morgan said a client who signs up for six months meets at least six different persons; 10 or more, if the contract is for a year. Men put more emphasis on physical appearance than women do, she reported. "Few women demand the traditional tall, dark, and handsome man," she said. "Usually, they ask for the manly type, for someone neat, attractive and congenial; few have, any reservations against baldness. And more often than not I hear, 'He doesn't have to be a Clark Gable!' Few specify money, but the young women especially hope for some promise of security, so they can raise a family." "Men seem definitely in- Lone Pine PTA Plans Auction Lone Pine Parent Teacher association will hold the an nual "silent auction" Tues day, March 8, at 7:30 p.m. in the school gymnasium.
