T TIP FROM KAPERS DIRECTOR Bunny Peterson, one of mm scenic euecis giru in tne Kiwanis Kapers production, "Off the Hook," looks over her costume and gets a tip from professional director Carl Hawley. The show plays tonight and Saturday night at the Medford High school auditorium, completing a four-night run which began on Wednesday. Miss Peterson appears in the first act with a group of other girls. Hawley is a director for John B. Rogers Producing company. "Off the Hook" has a musical revue first act and i minstrel show second act. It has all local talent with a number of prominent residents performing, and runs the gamut in songs, dances, gags and skits. This is the 13th annual Kapers of the Medford Kiwanis club. Proceeds will go toward its philanthropies, mainly the countywide dental clinic, 1 We're Still Looking For Fountain of Youth It has been a long and seemingly tireless search, but "hope springs eternal" and those of us who are waiting are naturally impatient with the delay. We hope for an elixir, or a substance, or a "fountain of youth." Men have been compound ing and mixing various sub stances for many ages, trying to find that wonderful some thing that will rewind life's clock and keep our fleshy mechanism running for an in definite period. Royal Jelly It was only natural, there fore, that man looked to the substance used by the com mon honey bee, called "royal jelly." It was thought it might be just the substance mankind needed to refuel his bodily furnace and keep his inner fires burning brightly. "Royal jelly" does marvelous things for baby bees, and even has something to do with the nuuber of boy be :s or girl bees the colony will produce. It can even be used by the bees to hasten the develop ment of more members, but what "royal jelly" does for a creature other than baby bees seems sadly disappoint ing. "Royal jelly" as a hu man food leaves considerable to be desired, even as a food supplement. The search, however, con tinues, and other substances and materials from Nature's vast storehouse are being in vestigated; One of these is pollen. Pollen is the usually yel low, powdery material in the form of grains that act as the fertilizing element of flower ing plants. It is actually the male element of the plant, the material that adheres to the legs or body of the honey bee or other species of Insect, later brushing off an another plant of the same kind, there by pollenating it. Different Shape. Every flowering plant has pollen grains peculiar in shape and size to itself. Pollen grains may be shaped like A SYMPHONY Every detail harmonious in Perfect understanding . . . plus an efficient staff for service WW 'MoAtuaif ft AMI MOtSAN .

Each grain, under mag nification , appears to be a tiny, hollow case filled with a suspended drop of oil; each oil-drop as small as one thirty-thousandth of an inch in diameter. To a flowering plant pol len is "life-stuff," but as a supplement in human food or an aid to renewed vigor, it probably is about as useful as sawdust. So many times we seem to be right on the threshold, with ' the door ap parently open, only to have Nature slam the door right in our face. Adequate Power Supply Said Goal Washington -fflPD- The new head of the Rural Electrifica tion Administration says he'll give top priority to assuring an adequate power supply for rural areas. The new REA administrator is Norman M. Clapp of Lan caster, Wis., who was sworn into office Thursday.

It isn't verv exciting Fnr which let us be thankful. In these modern davj ih. Elf. CITING news gives us the snivers. CECRETARY OF LABOR Goldberg, reporting on the job situation, tells us that in February unemployment rose 320,000 over January to a total of 8,705,000 the high est Idle total since the sum mer of 1941, just before World war II, at the tag end of the great depression. But, he adds EMPLOYMENT in Febru ary was UP 200,000 from Jan uary to a total of 64,655,000, wmcn is the highest Febru ary total in our history. WHICH if to say: In February r, fhli year more Americans were OUT OF WORK than at any time in the past 20 years, but at the same time more Amer- leans were WORKING than in any previous February in our history. 11HAT'S happening to us? ' There could be two answers: 1. Our population is rising faster than our capacity to provide jobs. 2. Prices are rising faster than our capacity to pay. The EASY solution is to pass some more laws. But passing more laws doesn't seem to provide a permanent solution. ItfORE problems: Starlings are reported to be increasing in this coun try at a disturbingly rapid rate possibly even doubling in number every year. They are a nuisance. They dirty up city buildings. They make raucous noises. They have been blamed for air crashes. They seem to be fond of air ports and when planes en counter flocks of them the birds are sucked into the jet engines, causing power fail ure. They do considerable crop damage, but on the other hand they eat a lot of bugs. So far, the problem is concentrated chiefly In the cities. Efforts to get rid of them have been con fined largely to frightening them away. But scaring them away from one place doesn't seem to result in any perma nent relief. They just go some, where else. WHAT to do about It? Well, an Arkansas con gressman hat a solution. He has just introduced a bill to appropriate $400,000 to DO AWAY WITH STARLINGS. That is to say: PASS A LAW. That ought to do the trick. QUESTION: When problems face us, is PASSING A LAW all we need to do? One can't help wondering. TN CONCLUSION: A How did starlings get started in this country? Well, some sentimental peo. pie who thought the starlings in England were cute brought over 60 of them back in 18S0. They were set free In Cen tral Park in New York. From there, they have spread over a considerable part of the United States. A lot of our troubles in this country have arisen out of the actions of people who are more liberally endowed with sentiment than with common sense.

No Evidence New Drug Cure for Hodgkin's Disease Indianapolis - WPD - A phar maceutical firm emphasized that there was no evidence that a new drug was a "cure" for Hodgkin's disease or any other form of human cancer. Ell Lilly & Co. said the drug, which comes from a shrub called periwinkle, has been given clinical trials in treatment of Hodgkin's di sease and tumors known as choriocarcinoma. The firm, always cautious in making drug announce ments, said it also learned that its common stock had climbed about 32 points during the past two weeks because of Wall Street rumors that it had produced a "cancer cure." But Lilly denied the rumor and said the drug was only for treatment of patients with Hodgkin's disease or chorio carcinoma, who had respond ed well in clinical studies. New Available The drug, the firm said, al ready Is available to the medi cal profession under the trade mark Velban. The agent is the sulfate salt of vinblastine, an alkaloid extract from the periwinkle. Hodgkin's disease attacks the lymph glands, liver and spleen, while choriocarcinoma attacks membranes found m the placenta, ovaries and testes. Velban has been studied in 300 patients with a variety of malignant diseases, the com pany said. But the evaluation of results in other cancers has not been completed, it added. The first clinical study was initiated in 1959 at the Indi ana University medical center here. Later studies were con ducted at the Ontario Cancer Institute in Toronto, the com pany said.
