THURSDAY, APRIL 13. 1961 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFOHD. ORE. 22U Elizabeth Celebrates First of 2 Birthdays 21st London - HUD - Queen Ellz beth II of Britain is the only . womtn in the world who le gitimately c e 1 e b r a tes two birthdays each year. The one she must admit to on her ' birth certificate is l April 21. The other one is an affair of state and comes in June. . r This year the Queen turns 35, and much too publicly to kid anyone that she s 20. She s a trim, well-preserved , 35, a woman of grace and charm and a deep beauty that shines , from lovely . blue eyes and a magnificent complexion. She is more a handsome woman than a pretty one, but most Britons think, she s beautiful. ' She is one of the richest women in ,the world with a personal fortune that has been estimated at more than $150, : 000,000, and! receives an an nual allowance of $1,330,000 of which $168,000 is regarded as her personal income. The rest goes for. entertainment, travel expenses, household op eration and the like. " But it's unlikely any wom an works harder for her mon ey than this wife, mother and queen. She has already' 'had t a .exhausting six-week trip .t'tis year with 'her husband I rince Philip to India; Pakis tan, Nepal and Iran and now is about to take off on a state ' It to Italy and a courtesy .It to Pope John, When she not traveling she is engaged rminably and constantly i formal, dinners, parties, .atlons and, though a rul ! symbol rather than a rul , -e is daily in touch with rnment affairs, entailing f t deal of reading and station. Added to all this she is a devoted wife and mother who takes excellent care of her family. Dedicated Woman .': j Fabulously wealthy though she is, and comfortably though she lives, Queen Elizabeth is not to be pictured as a woman living in ease and luxury, the envy of every housewife. She is a dedicated, hard-working woman whose average work ing day would be the horror of any labor union. So far as her family is con cerned, April 21 is "birthday1 for the queen, That's when she gets her cake and pres. ents.'", :;,?.. . Birthdays in the royal fam ily are like birthdays in most families. In the morning, du ties ' permitting, the . family gathers around the breakfast table and the "birthday child" gets her cards, flowers from friends, presents from all. The queen on her birthday usually spends the day doing what she enjoys most - with her horses and out in the Fabric Pests Can Do $500 Million Damage Berkeley, Calif.-fUPD-Clolhcs moths and other fabric pests do between . $200 and $500' million damage each year to carpets, rugs, clothes, textiles and animal products, accord ing to a University of Cali fornia entomologist. Prof. Abraham Michelbach- er said there is some misun derstanding in the popular mind regarding' the major fa bric pests. He said carpet moths are not as well recog nized but are just as destruc tive as clothes moths to fa brics. . ' ' open. She is likely to be at Badminton, watching the fa mous horse trails. It's an oc-1 casion for wearing old tweeds and a headscarf, and stout shoes for tramping around in the mud. Then in the evening there's a dinner party. A few days later the queen probably will have her regular birth day treat - of an .evening at the theater. She generally chooses a comedy or a detec tive or mystery thriller. Her "official" birthday comes on the second Saturday of June. The date is the same for all British . kinds, and queens . and . never changes whatever the actual birth date. On the sovereign's birth day' the army honors its su preme commander with the trooping of the color, and- pa rades and turnouts all over the kingdom and good weath er is important. The June date is fixed on the theory there are more apt to be sunny skies then. . mJtfmmmmmmmimmmmi, -. r I illMffflf llll I 4 'THAT'S MY BOY' Flashing a "that's my boy" grin, Soviet Ambassador to the United Nations Valerian Zorin admires a UPI radiotolephoto of Russia's space man, Yuri Gagarin, at the Soviet UN headquarters in New York. (UPI Telephoto) ' The big ceremony of the day, always, is the trooping of the color on the, Horse Guards Parade in London. The queen rides out from Buck ingham Palace in the morning escorted by Prince Philip and other men of the royal family in full uniform to review her Guards in their scarlet tunics and tall bearskin helmets. A different regiment- is chosen for the honor each year, and the colors of that -regiment are "trooped," or formally dis played, before her. It is one of the great . tourists . attrac tions of the year ,in Britain. After this ceremony, one of the most colorful of all royat military spectacles, the queen rides back to the palace and takes the salute' from the gates as the Guards march past her on their way back to their nearby barracks along Birdcage Walk. Finally the royal party adjourns indoors, to come out later on the pal ace balcony to take the salute of the Royal Air Force whose planes roar in formation over head. :- - " ': Well Drilling Is 2,000 Years Old - Tulsa, Okla.-HJPD-The tech nique of well drilling has been practiced -for more than 2,000 years..

BECHTOLD UPI Financial Editor , New York -, (UPD - It's s simple when you know how, And who knows how to run a stock offer ing better than Ameri can Telephone & Telegraph Co.? This bluest of the blue chips brings down the cur tain Friday on its eighth stock offering since 1921, and the outcome again will, be termed "successful." And successful is putting it mildly when you consider the results' of the 1956 offering, when D9.8 per cent of the 5, 726,152 shares offered were subscribed. Through this latest offering the close to two million AT&T share-owners are able to buy one share of stock for $86 for every 20 shares held on Feb. 23. At the end of 1960 there were 223,518,483 shares out standing. . This has to be considered quite a bargain when you con sider that the stock recently has been quoted around $130 a share, ' and that directors contemplate a quarterly divi dend payment of 90 cents per share beginning , . in .July, against 82V4 cents presently.' And while an attractive stock at a relatively cheap price, , along ; with an- antici pated dividend increase, are enough to make any. stock offering a success, the nation's largest corporate entity has a n o t.h e r unique advantage going for it. 1 ! As huge as the offering is, AT&T handles it all by itself, requiring no outside under writing as most other firms do. This enables it to add mil lions of extra dollars to its proceeds which - are vitally needed to build facilities re quired to meet the public's growing needs for communica tion service. :!!'!: J.',,-. The Bell System's 1961 con struction budget is $2.5 bil lion, the sixth consecutive year that these expenditures have exceeded $2 billion. Handling such a huge stock offering individually is no small chore, however. It is a full r time job for - several months for more than. 2,600 extra persons using the most modern business equipment. These people do everything from the routine checking and recording jobs to answering stockholder queries. Fortun ately for the company many of these part - timers have worked on other AT&T offer-1 ings. . ... .' . ... i While most of the transac tions are handled through the mail, a staff of some 80 people has been dealing personally with about 3,000 shareowners a day since the offering began in mid-March. ' . ' The 'shareowners seem to like this face-to-face contact with AT&T personnel. Many remarked that it probably would have been easier for them to use the mails to sub scribe, but they enjoyed the opportunity to talk with com pany employees. ; The company has received all kinds of negotiable paper in payment for the subscrip tions, including .checks, cash and even government E bonds. Many persons ' wanted to leave signed blank checks and have AT&T take care of their transactions. ' The company is reluctant to do' this at the desk, but accepts such re sponsibility when this hap pens by mail. And one man walked in nonchalantly: with two war rants belonging to a Long Island woman, one for 99 rights and the other for, 160. He refused to give his name or accept a receipt, saying he was sure AT&T would take care of them properly.. This may all sound like a hectic operation, but it's so simple when you know how. HURRY!
