Newspaper Page TextMedford Tribune SECTION D MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, MARCH IB, 1961 PAGES 1 to 8 Two Beautiful Redheads Better Than Single One, Especially if Twins By VERNON SCOTT Hollywood -OIPD-What's bet ter than a beautiful redhead? Two beautiful redheads - es pecially if they're twins. Twins are rare in i ow business for the simple reason that few stones require dou ble roles. But the Earl girls are top-flight dancers and do not rely on drama to earn a living. Twin-like, the girls popped into the Brown Derby restau rant this week dressed alike and wearing the same hairdos. Identical Twins Unsettling Talking to the identical sis ters is somewhat unsettling. One twin will begin a sen tence only to have the other complete it-without missing a beat. "We have the strangest means of communicating," Jane said. "W hen we're around the apartment we find we don't have to finish a thought because the other one is nodding her head under standingly." "Sometimes it's frighten ing," Ruth added. "Every thing will be quiet and all of a sudden we'll both start sing ing a line from a song, start ing on the same note at exact ly the same time. It's weird." Thus far in their brief ca reers they have appeared strictly as a team. "We hope we can stick together in show business as an act even after we're married," Jane said. Disagree on Men "Incidentally," Ruth laughed "men are about the only sub ject we don't entirely agree on. We have our own prefer ences among the opposite sex, and we rarely double date. "It causes too much con fusion, and draws attention to us wherever we go." Otherwise the sisters have pretty much the same tastes. They make their own clothes, share an apartment and are devoted to becoming stars. They share a common sympa thy for other twins. "That's because we know about, all the predicaments they get into," Ruth said. "But if we had to do it all over again, we'd still like to be twins-the fun of it offsets the confusion." ft "sr . I GONE ARE THE DAYS . . . -The Cass County Telephone Service Company in Ashland, 111., is removing the last of its old wall-mounted crank-type telephones and is install ing a new dial system to keep up with the limes. Here, James Loffler, Virginia, 111., tries the last call on the old type phone as Robert Hager, Ashland, fixes the new unit to 'the wall. , (UPI Telephoto) Wages Effect on Prices To Be Studied by Teacher Eugene Do prices go up because wages go up, or do wages go up because prices go up? This is one of the questions which Paul Simpson, Univer sityof Oregon economics pro fessor, will tackle next year. Simpson has been awarded a Ford Foundation Faculty Re search Fellowship for the academic year 1961-62, and he will pursue his research in Eugene, where he will remain while on sabbatical leave from the university. In studying the "cost push Lenten Messag By BISHOP EVERETT W. PALMER Methodist Bishop of Seattle (Written for UPI) In much of America the shift from winter to spring awakens memories of the old-fashioned Model T. When the shift is made from low to high, your head snaps back. You grind along in the dreary low cear of winter, then of a sudden, spring! Where once the winter wind made harsh and moanful cry. a soft and whispered music sings. Fields long drab as death and streaked with grimy rimnnnts of tired snow bur geon forth with beauty. Every where there is cioansiriK. re newal, new life. It's spring! What spring is to the world of nature, Lent is to the soul. Indeed, in the ancient Anglo Saxon rootage of our language the terms "Lent" and "spring'' arc synonymous. A 1 w a y s, it seems. Christians have had reason to think of Lent as springtime for the soul. We sense a need which can not be denied. Life tends to become sterile, barren, shabby at the edges. Ideals grow dim, vision fades, loyalties falter. The soul becomes dull, slug gish. We yearn for cleansing, refreshment, new life. All that is within us comes to focus in that poignant prayer, "Cre ate in me a clean heart. O God, and renew a right spirit within me " As the earth long weary under winter, so our soul cries out for spring. man pull problem, faimp- son will investigate material and labor costs and profit margins. In addition to seek ing the causes of price move ment, Simpson will attempt to derive supply and demand functions tor industry. Simpson has taught econo mics since 1939. He -has taught at the University of Delaware, Stanford univcr-i sity, and the University off Oregon. He is now teaching monetary and banking theory j and mathematical economics in the University of Oregon economics department. j Simpson received his bache- lor of arts degree from Reedj college and his doctorate from' Cornell university. He served as an associate economist in the research division of the Federal Reserve Board in 1940-43. He was an economist on the board of governors of1 the Federal Reserve System! 1953-55. j During the summer of 1960, Simpson was in Korea where1 he served as consultant of the ! Economic Development com-j mission in Korea. Insurance Firm Increases Dividends The American United Life Insurance company recently announced an increase to four per cent on dividends and other deposits, according to Carl D. Elhart, Medford agent. The company, with home offices in Indianapolis, has increased dividends and excess rates for the third lime in four years. Among policyholders bene fits effective this year is the addition of a triple indemnity feature to an accidental death benefit rider. FUEL PLANT EXPLODES Muskogee, Okla. tUPII An explosion ripped through a top secret plant where rocket fuel for missiles is manufac tured Wednesday and shook houses within a 10-mile radius. No one was injured. Portlander Raps Flammable Liquid Control Measure Salcm-IVPD -Rep. Mel Gor don (R-Portland) Wednesday accused the House Highways committee of passing out a "Trojan Horse Bill" for flam mable liquid control. Gordon said on its face the bill appeared to be aimed at preventing careless handling of flammable liquids, but "in reality would produce fat profits for the major oil com panies at the expense of inde pendent oil distributors." Gordon called the bill "A sneaker bill, which, travelling under false colors, would benefit a few and harm the many." To Repeal Ordinances The Committee approved the measure, H1B 1089, Tues day. It governs the ways in which oil, gasoline, and simi lar liquids may be transport ed in cities. Gordon said it would re peal 20 present city ordi nances. The Portland Republican said if the bill passes "the small independent oil distrib utors will be forced to their knees by the fat cats of the petroleum industry." "1 must protest as strongly as possible when legislation of this type is railroaded through," he said, "when all of the people directly in volved are not given an Inm ost opportunity to appear and testify."
