Mr. and Mm. Russell L.

itreet, have returned from a
one-week trip to Salinas,
Calif., where thry attended a
reunion of the Elbeetian Le
gion. The Legion is the only
alumni group in Scouting and
is comprised of en who as
boys were members of the
Lone Scouts of America.
The Lone Scouts were or
ganized In 1915 by W. D.
Boyce. who brought the Boy
Scout movement to the United
Statps from England in
1010. He organized the Lone
Scout movement in order to
reach small towns and rural
areas where boys were not
being reached by the Boy
Scouts.
The group also extended to
Canada and it wa In Mani
toba, Canada that Mr. Her
bert became a member.
In the year 1924 the Lone
Scouts merged with the Boy
Scouts, and the Elbeetian
Legion membership is made
up of men who were mem
bers of the Lone Snout pre
vious to that year, The organ
ization also is considered by
the members as a "last man"
group, since none but those
who hd belonged to the ori
ginal Lone Scouls mty Join.
It Is believed that in this
vicinity there are other men
who at one time were Lone
Scouts and alumni members
are anxious lo contact them.
Those who qualify and are in
terested are invited to call
Mr. Herbert, 773-5732, Med
ford. The Lone Scouls had tribes

abbreviation for his publica
tion. The Legion alumni group
has grown from a member
ship of 50 In 1927 to about

Eight members of the Mer-
rihands group of Lihoma girls
have crocheted an afghan this
summer to comply with the
handicraft requirements of
the group. It is associated
with the Medford Second

Home Accidents Increase Insurance Firms Declare
By GAY PAULEY
UPI Woman's Editor
New York - CKPli - There's no
place like home for landing
in the hospital.
Statistically, accidents in
the home outnumber any oth
er types of nonfatal mishaps,
reports the National Safety
Council: The number has
shown a gradual decline
through the years. But one
Insurance company study in
dicates the American house
holder is still a clumsy oaf,
safety campaigns notwithstanding.
Officers
Installed
For YOU
Miss Barbara Chance, Cen
tral Foiot, was installed presi
dent of Youth of Unity Sun

Returns
Ashland-Miis Terry Lynn
Snead returned to her home
in Salem on Sunday afler
visiting in Ashland with the
Charles dosha family. 131
Church street. Miss Snead
formerly livrd in Ashland.
More women than ever be-
fore are taking tumbles over
rugs and on floors, steering
into the furniture and the wall
mounted can opener, falling
down stairs, walking through
glass doors.
"The causes of accidental
injuries of today as compared
with 30 yean ago indicate
that the space age American
is becoming a pathetic tangle
fool," said researchers for the
Travelers Insurance Compa
nies. Travelers took the years
1931 and 1961 for compara
tive purposes. It said that in
'31, 30 per cent of all its pol
icyholders who collected for
mishaps were victims of home
accidents. By 1961, the per
centage had jumped to 44.
The insurance company re
searchers found that 16 times
as many of its policyholders
fell on floors and rugs in their
homes last year aa did in 1931,
most of them female.. Spike
heels, maybe?
Inanimate objects appear lo
be fighting back. Six times as
many policyholders collided
with furniture, television sets,
wall-mounted can openers and
the like.
Twice as many fell down
stairs. Entering and exiting seems
to present problems too, for
twice as many managed to get
caught in doors and windows
in 1961 as in 1931. One wo
man policyholder in Florida
moved into a new house with
a glass wall opening onto a
patio. She walked out to the
patio one day-right through
the glass. Bills for medical
care ran to $2,785, said the in
surance firm.
And one policyholder com
plained that his false teeth bit
him. He'd taken them out of
his mouth because they were
uncomfortable, tucked them
into a rear pocket and forgot
about them until he sat down.
Just what sporty types ord
ered for wearing in college
dormitories: knicker pajamas.
The loose-fitting, long-sleeve
tops and knickers in one col
lection were edged in lac.
For the dormitory wit: jester
pajamas in red flannel. The
loose overblouse ends in
series of deep points.
