Supermarket Manager Hopes Vicar's Prayers Have Eliminated Ghost Long Wiltenham, England ' IlIPIl-Drck Bird opened up shop today with high hopes that Britain's first supermarket ghost has stopped shifting his groceries and disappeared. "I feel a happier man," said Bird, manager of the local supermarket. "I think the vi car has well and truly laid the ghost." The "ghost" started Its tricks on Monday last week and has appeared, says Bird's staff, in the form of a while flash. It is said to have moved packets, tins and a customer's order book and smashed the clock on the store wall when challenged aloud to do so. Assistant Faints Slore assistant Adricnne Bramlcy, 16, fainted for the sixth time In eight days Mon day wilh ils 20th supernatural trick (he . removal to the window sill of. some bicar bonate of soda placed on a shelf a few moments earlier by Bird. She and chief assist ant Mrs. Joyce Stania refused In no back to work until "Hie thine" was destroyed. Bird thought It was nhout time the Rev, Cecil Roberts, vicar of this 3crkslilrc village, was Informed, So he closed the supermarket and went off lo arrange an excorcism. Roberts performed the serv ice Monday night In Hie shop's sloreroom, saying prayers for 15 minules in the presence of Bird and Mrs. Stania. They hope it got rid of "the thing," which some locals hold was who the the ghost of a woman died 200 years ago. Everything in Place Bird said today was first time in nine days that he had gone into the super market and found everything In Ils right place. Mrs. Stania, loo, said she felt a happier person. Miss Bramlcy was having a few days off to re cover. The vicar said he believed faulty electrical wiring ac counted for lights flashing on and off without apparent hu man intervention. But the oili er incidcnls could only be supernatural, he said.

WATKINS (Register and Tribune Syndicate 19621 Burpriiel Female Hop Art Bailer for 'That Lilt' It might be surprising tor you lo learn thai II is the imps from the female plant thai are produced In cone like form, dried and used in making beverages and most medicines. You wouldn't think sex had anything to do witli such a thing, but female hops are better tor giving so-called "lift" lo the much-puhllcized beverage. When Ihe hop plant is In full fruit, jusl about anyone can walk up to a hop vine and tell al a glance whether II is a male or female plant. Those hops thai spend their Infancy and curly lite on a female plant have a nollce able different trull. Hop plants fruit Is called raceme. The male hop plant pro duces Ils fruit as a pnnlrlcd raceme. A raceme is form nf flower bract in which small flowers are home on short pedicels lying along a com mon axis, similar lo the blos soms of the lily of the valley. 'How' Moil Important For the future of the hop Industry, it's probably more Important how they grow than what they do In a beverage or medicine, Hops have come lo be big business. We hear great deal more about this product lhan how It behaves, or what some of Ils rather unusual characteristics are. II would be quite Impossible to listen to radio or television, even for a short period of time, without hearing many limes that "it's the hops thai make it belter." But Utile or nothing is said about hops, or why they are what they are. For anything as important as hops it's funny we hear so litlle about the habits and behavior of this coarse, twin Itkf vine. It is really robusl and vigorous, whether it hap pens lo be a female or a male plant. Hops are native lo Kurope and North America, and strangely belong lo the nettle family. On Ihe adult plant grow the fruit - - hops or what are called "catkins," Im plying Ihe fruit looks "like little cals," Papery. Looie, Fragrant These little catkins are pa pery, loose and rather frag rant. On the scales of the cal kins, as well as in the seeds, is a granular powder compos ing almost one-sixth of the weight of the calkin itself. This powder Is bitter. It is this bitter quality that Im parls to the familiar beverage Its taste. The catkin has to be dried before Ihe powder Is gathered. Hop plants are planted in hills. When fully adult, the plant may be 10 or 20 feel high, so long poles are provid ed on which Ihe vine can climb. The racemes grow profuse- Iv on the vine. They dangle along Ihe vine stem like orna- ments on a Christmas Irer, A short time before the hop har vest there may be Ihousands of the little calkins clinging lo the vine. Alter the hops are picked, the vine on which they grow gives up tile battle and dies Even the grower of hops looks mostly at what the crop will bring, rather lhan how very peculiarity t lie plant be haves while It Is attaining adulthood. It follows Ihe sun, always tinning to the right. When Ihe tip of the plan! points toward the west, il Is on the south side of the pole. This would seem to be bet ter by Ihe hop vine lhan by the humans who grow hops, or try lo explain Ihem. Bui that's hops for you.

"r. -n1! " hi ilialmem ai FAMILY COUNCIL Editor . note: The Family Coun cil tomisls of a Judgr, a pnychta Irlsl. three rlerjyir.en, three editor, and . women', editor. Kach article It a aumm.rv of a family dUu.rce ment presented to the Council. The council deals with problem., major and minor, encountered by suld ance counselor, and social worker, hdilcd by Mrs. Alma Denny. (Copy rlsht bv General Feature. Corp.) Mr. H. A. - I'm shocked at the casual way their son talks about sex. Fred A. - At least he'll never consider sex a "dirty" topic, as 1 did. Mr. H. A. - My wife and I ate here on a visit to our son and his family. We live in Utah, but Fred keeps In touch with us regularly and we see each olhcr once a year, taking turns on the travel. This time I've spent a lew afternoons and evenings with Greg, my 10-ycar-old grand ion. And I was way out over rhy depth when our talk got around to health. Imagine a" kid that age telling me syphi lis is still a problem and boys must be careful! What hap pened to the birds and bees? I know Fred's wife is French and maybe more casual about the lacls of life than Ameri can women. But someone had better put the brakes on Greg's talk before he gels blackmailed by other parents. Fred A. - Thanks to my wife's natural and relaxed at titude about sex, we can talk Rbout it at home in front o Greg if there's something in the paper or on TV that raises the topic. We don't have to .shush each other with that knowing look which says, "Be careful. Change the subject." I was brought up feeling that whenever the con versatlon stopped abruptly it was be cause of sex-talk and that it was bad for a child. Naturally, I spent many hours in the li brary and in olher kids' gar ages filling in the blanks for mysclf-filling them all wrong, I might add. The Council: All depends upon young Greg's "brakes" when it comes to spouting his sophisticated sex knowledge. And those brakes must be sup plied just as assiduously as is the information, lest the latter . be trotted out for Its shock value, or as an attention-get- ' ler. Obviously Greg picked Ihe wrong pal - Grandpa - ' for a discussion nf venereal " disease. So Brake No. 1, which Fred and his wife must tight . en, is Taste. Greg must learn. that sex-talk has a place, a ; time and a with-whom. Taste will decide these. ; Fred is aware ol other brakes which belong side by . side with sex education. He mentions the moral one. Mr. A., despite his unease at hear- :' Ing his grandson's precocious talk, may be reassured to : learn that his own son has -' emerged with a responsible : and respectful attitude toward ' the procreative process. Even i if he didn't get the facts at : home, Fred got the main : "message" - that the sex act Is sanctified by love and mar . riage. This he and his wife ' are imparting to ,Greg. One caution, however, we d . like to offer Fred. In your I determination lo do the op- . posite of what was done to ' you by way of early sex-edu- ; cation, are you loading Greg ' wilh more than he's really I ready for? Thus, another J brake would be appropriate-; ness. While some topics may'", enlighten the child, others would alarm and worry him ; at his stage of life. : Also, a too matter-of-fact " exposition about so elemental and emotional a subject can '. destroy the aura of poetry j that should surround it. So ' we suggest that Fred continue ' lo Include sex subjects in his talks with Greg along with ; football and homework and snow removal, but that he ' know where to slop so as not : to overburden the boy. As for Mr. A., he is to be - thanked for raising the ques tion of taste. While it's all : right for Greg to know what he knows, he must be careful ' not to show what he knows : lo the "wrong" person. But it's good to learn that some parents aren't leaving this in structional Job to the movies, . comic books and whispering ', playmates. State Income Tax Forms To Be Mailed Salem -HOT- Mailing of slale Income tax return cards will begin after Christmas, the Oregon State Tax commission -said Tuesday.
