Nearly 13 years after his marriage Prince Philip has still not been named prince consort. Friends of the handsome husband of the Queen - and they are legion - feel he. has earned this highest honor he can receive from his wife. He has been in their eyes a good husband, devoted father and valuable servant of the crown. But though the Queen made him a prince of the United Kingdom three years .ago-he was born a prince of Greece, she did not style him prince consort as had been expected. This was the title borne by Prince Albert, beloved hus band of Victoria. Nor is there any indicaiton that the Queen nlans tn mn. fer this distinction on Prince Philip in the near future.

Ball presented the pro gram for a meeting of Wednesday Study club last week. ' Mrs. Ross A. Minneci was a guest. Mrs. Krebs reviewed "Cod fish, Cats . and Civilization," a book by Gary Webster. The author is a minister whose real name is Webb Black Gar rison; he is president of Mc Kendree college, Lebanon, 111. The book deals with the important contribution ani mals have made to civiliza tion and . the process of their domestication by man. Hu mans are dependent upon ani mals and can neither be well fed nor comfortable without them, according to the author. It is thought that up to 8000 B.C. the dog was the only wild ammal which had been tamed. Then gradually cattle, horses, pigs and cats were do mesticated. Only a very few of the many thousands of animal species can be tamed and there have been no new ones domesticated for 4000 years. Man soon learned that ani mals had other uses besides meat for food and skins for clothing. Man learned to ride horseback. Horses in Battl Hernando Cortez, the Span ish conqueror of Mexico, used men on horses, in battle and with a small number terrified and routed vast numbers of the natives who had never seen men on horses before and thought that the man and horse were one. The pig is the most -numer ous and important meat ani mal and has undergone less skeletal change than anv other. - The earliest settlers brought pigs to this country. The ancient Chinese rulers and Roman generals hunted wild boars. They were the fiercest animals to hunt and the author says Pope Leo X was a great devotee of this sport. Mis. Krebs stated that cats were domesticated some 5000 year ago and are essentially the same animal they were at that time. They revert back to the wild state more readily than any other animal. In Egypt cats were raised by the thousands and were Calendar Monday: 7:30 p.m. - Civil Air Patrol, CAP building, Medford air port. 7:30 pjn. - Siskiyou Knife and Fork club, Elks club. 7:45 p.m. - Westminster Guild, fireplace room, First Presbyterian church. 8 p.m. - Ladies Auxiliary, Veterans of Foreign Wars, dance at Camp White theater. 8 p.m. - Rogue Valley Coin club, Girls Community club.
