Pops a wonderful guy. Ex- p r e sions of love and ad miration, with wry reference to Dad's devel oping paunch, ran through the missives entered in the "Letters to Fa ther" contest to honor the old man on his day, June 19. The Cigar Institute of Amer ica sponsors the contest, which this year drew a rec ord 50,000 letters. "My father is a jaunty guy, kind of hiding his mid-age bulge, but strong as an ox," wrote Mario Berlanda, 15, of Willow Grove, Pa., winner of the first prize In the boys' division. Mario, a ninth grader who hopes one day to be a teacher, went on to say how much he admired his father, also a teacher. "We enjoy mutual un derstanding of each other," he added. First prize In the girls' di vision went to Marlon Bols- vert, 14, of Barrlngton, R.I., who wrote "When the time comes for me to marry, I hope I marry a boy Just Hke you . . ." Dalla Redbird, 7, of Hazel Park, Mich., took second In the girls' division with a four line letter of admiration for her father because he "helps me with my music , . . beats tom-tom for me." A postscript added, "my daddy's name la William A. Chief Redbird." Third place, girls' division, went to Melba Wehunt, 16, Marietta, Ga., who said "you have never had a son ... al ways been surrounded by pet ticoats, but you have given me a relationship few daugh ters have with their fathers." Second prize for the boys went to Shedon Breger of 818 N. Sycamore avenue, Los An geles, who paid a touching tribute to his step-father.

Col. H, J. Meiring, 2460 Hillcresct drive, after living 2'j years in Bangkok, Thailand, are the four children of Maj. and Mrs. Robert B. Harper. Demonstrating how the Thai women hold their babies is Kolhy, 11, holding Robert Jr., 9 months. Critics of the demonstration are Laurie, 7, and Judy, 4. Major Harper, step-son of Colonel Meiring, was an advisor to the Thai army. The family will make their home at Ft. Huachuca, Aria. Money is just something to spend for most children. The number of pieces of bubble gum that can be purchased for a dime or the right change for the Saturday matinee seems to come naturally. This wasn't true of Maj. nd Mrs. Robert B. Harper s children, now visiting in Medford. Major Harper, the step-son of Col. H. J. Meiring, 2460 Hillcrest drive. Med ford, has been stationed for the last two and a half years in uangKoK, Thailand, as an advisor to the Thai army. His children, Kathy, 11 Laurie, 7; Judy, 4; but not Robert Jr., who is only nine months, have had difficulty converting the familiar Thai baht" (20 to the American dollar exchange rate) Into American dollars. Just like the American tourist abroad, it was diffi cult for them to know just how much ten cents is in real" money. But just like American children who have lived here all their lives, the two younger girls are entranced by the apparent magic ot tele vision, which was available In the Thai language but which they did not have in Bangkok. They still aren't complete ly accustomed to things that are taken for granted here. As pure as Medford water is reputed to be, Laurie has her doubts about drinking water that comes out of a tap. All the drinking water used in Bangkok was distilled and came in bottles. Even the temperature of the water here was somewhat of a novelty for them since the Harpers, living only 90 miles north of the equator, had no hot running water in their home. This was stand ard, Mrs. Harper said, except in the big tourist hotels. Of course, some foods are different. In Thailand, Mrs. Harper did her cooking with charcoal heat and many fresh American vegetables were hard to find. Lettuce was found infrequently and when found was much "soggier" than what would be pur chased in a super food mar ket here. Even the milk tastes differ ent. Here it's fresh. Actually the children are back from a good-will tour of Thailand. Each of them was made aware of her responsi bility as a representative of America in a foreign country.
