The clinic is sponsored by the Medford Kiwanis club with county dentists, the county court, county health and welfare de partment and schools cooperating. Main source of financial support is from the annual Kiwanis Kapers. The 1961 show, "Off the Hook," will be presented March 8, 9, 10 and 11 at the Medford High school auditorium. Rehearsals Start For Kiwanis Show Rehearsals for the 13th an nual Medford Kiwanis Ka pers got underway today. The musical variety show will be presented March 8 9, 10 and 11 at the Medford High school auditorium under Kiwanis club sponsorship, lis title is "Off the Hook." Carl Hawley, Los Angeles, professional director for John B. Rogers Productions, Fos toria, Ohio, arrived yester day. A casting party was held at the high school last night with Dr. Abner Clark, talent chairman, in charge. Openings Available Most of the roles will be taken by Kiwanians and their wives. There are still open ings in the cast, however, and persons with specialty act, musical or dancing talent in terested in participating may apply to Dr. Clark after 6:30 p.m. at the high school band room. The Kiwanis Kapers, while providing fun and family en tertainment for its audiences, also has the more serious pur pose of furnishing financial support necessary for the dental clinic which the serv ice club maintains for under rjrivileaed children. Hundreds of needy chil dren each year are given den tal treatment which they otherwise could not afford The cases are referred to the clinic by the county welfare department, the county health department and school doc tors and nurses, rne agencies make sure that a real need for the treatment exists and that the child's family is unable to afford it. First Established The clinic was first estab lished in 1957 and run on a three months' trial basis with funds supplied by the Kiwa nis, Rotary and Lions clubs. The Kiwanis club had origi nally proposed the project, and when experience showed that the idea was feasible, the Kiwanis club agreed to take it on as one of its major charitable efforts. New, modern equipment was purchased by the club and installed in a room pro vided by the conty court in the basement of the court house. Arrangements were made with 42 Jackson coun ty dentists to staff the clinic, each dentist contributing a few hours of his time each month. A full time assistant was employed and the clinic opened for "business" in March, 1958. With funds sup plied by the proceeds of the Kiwanis Kapers together with the time contributed by the dentists, the clinic has operat ed during school months since that date, and next month will celebrate its third birth day. So successful has the proj ect been that it has attracted national attention and other Kiwanis clubs have been en couraged to start similar undertakings. In addition to the funds de rived from the sale of tickets, money is also supplied by the business and professional men of Medford in the form of contributions and paid adver tising in the Kapers program. In this respect, also, the Jack son county dentists demon strated their support of the project by being the only group in which 100 per cent made cash donations. An esti mated $65,000 in time and professional services has al ready been contributed by the dentists. Each member of the Kiwa nis club serves in three capa cities to insure the success of the Kapers. He helps in soli citing advertising (including his own donation as a busi ness or professional man); he helps sell tickets to the pub lic; and he takes part in the show itself. Charles Dickens Particular Sleeper Chicago -njPU- Charles Dick ens would sleep in a bed only if the headboard were pointed due north, and E. W. Howe, the Kansas editor, once remarKea: There is only one thing people like tnat is good for them: a good nigm s sleep." These and other oddities concerning famous people and beds were collected re cently by the Northern Elec trie Company, blanket manu facturers; in compiling "A Sleep Reader for Insomniacs.1 They also discovered: The early Egyptians are credited with putting beds on legs in an attempt to get the snakes to go under, not over, them while they were asleeD. The famous Bed of Ware accommodated 68 sleepers. It belonged to King Edward IV of England who could fit 34 or more persons in the trundle bed which slipped unaerneath. -Benjamin Franklin was of the opinion that women need ed more sleep than men. He advocated "six hours for a man, seven for a woman, and eignt tor a tool. Obituaries Try and Stop Me -By BENNETT CERF- WHEN THE WEST was still very wild, a suspected horse thief was arrested and tried. The jury, after lengthjr deliberation, found him innocent. The judge stared incredu lously at the foreman HORSETHIEF who delivered the ver dict, then hollered, "You fellows'll have to go back into that jury room and reconsider. The defend ant was hanged two hours ago." A doting father reluc tantly sent his one and only son to camp, wrote to him a few days later: "Tell me honestly, Wilbur: are you homesick?" The boy re plied, "No, papa. I'm here sick." A disillusioned bookkeeper In a downtown factory says that there's really only one thing that cornea to him who waits: whiskers. A small boy's idea of a balanced meal is a hamburger in each hand. 1961. by Bonnott Coi f. Distributed by King; Features. Syndicate GEORGE R. LONG The body of George R.

Musician Declared Guilty in Slaying Mother, Daughter Baltimore, Md.-IOT-A fed eral grand jury today found jazz guitarist Melvin D.

The handsome, 32-ycar-old entertainer faces a maximum sentence of life imprisonment under the federal Lindbergh Kidnaping Lak.

Technically, he was charged with the 1950 kidnap-slaying of Mrs. Mildred Jackson, 27-ycar-old Apple Grove, Va., housewife, and her 5'-year-old daughter Susan Ann. But the prosecution based its case on the belief that the handsome, dark-haired one time Maryland University stu dent also had killed the father of the family, Carroll Jack son, and 18-month-old daugh ter Janet. Bodies in Two States The strangled and beaten bodies of Mrs. Jackson and the elder daughter were found in a remote farm area near Gambrills, Md. The bodies of Jackson and Janet were found on a sawdust heap near Fredericksburg, Va. Rees has been charged with murder of the father and in fant in Virginia, but the fed eral government was the first to prosecute. The government charged that after slaying Jackson and Janet, Rees abducted the mother and Susan Ann from Virginia to Maryland. Rees sat somber and im passive as he heard jury fore man Charles A. Gomer, a steel company district sales manager, declare him guilty on two counts. The convicted man remain ed just as emotionless when Gomer said the jury was not recommending the death penalty.
