About a week ago, however, I finally found a satis factory sub- t stitute for to bacco. I began growing a beard. I don't mean that I actually light up my chin foliage. Sev eral persons have told me I should burn it, but I would never inhale whisker smoke without a filter. The way a beard helps is by giving me something else to think about, such as the al leged wit of my friends and associates. I have kept a running tally of the gibes and insults flung at my beard and thus far the score now stands approxi mately as follows: - 1,918 persons have ask ed me if I lost my rator, - 1,812 persons have ask ed me if I lost an election bet. - 1,776 persons have ask ed me if I am an apprentice be&inik. - 1,492 persons have ask ed me if I have taken up folk singing. In addition, there have been an uncounted number of allusions to poetry, to Registration Set For SOC Classes Ashland - Registration at Southern Oregon college will begin Wednesday, Jan. 2, Mrs. Mabel W. Winston, registra tor, has announced. A S5 fee will be charged starting Jan. 5 with an addi tional dollar increase for each succeeding day. The final day classes can be added or drop ped is Jan. 16, she said. The dates apply also to winter night classes which are offered in order that those who work during regular hours of the day may have the opportunity to work to ward a degree during the eve ning hours. For enrolling in any sub ject there is a $12.50 fee per credit hour if no more than seven credits are carried and a minimum of S25 per course. A study schedule of more than seven hours requires the $88 per term enrollment fee. Schedules of all details concerning both winter and spring evening course offer ings at the college will be sent upon request, Mrs. Win ston said. Mitch Miller, to Santa Claus and to Abe Lincoln. The' steady outpouring of jokes of this sort, most of which were wearing whisk ers themselves, made me wel come the comment of one of my colleagues. Even through derogatory, it at least had a spark of originality. "You," he said, eyeing me distastefully, "are giving beards a bad name." To all inquiries as to why I am glowing a beard, I made just one reply: "I need the exercise." In a way, this is true. In recent years, about the only exercise I have gotten came from lifting a cigarette or cigar to and from my chops. When I quit smoking, even that mild form of exertion was reduced. It did not, however, disap pear entirely. I found I was not nearly as addicted to nico tine as I was to moving my arm up and down. , Long after I abandoned the weed 1 continued, out of hab it, to put my hand to my mouth every few sccunds. This gave people who were not aware of the circum stances the impression that I was blowing kisses at them. The beard has solved that problem nicely. Now when I involuntarily raise my hand to my mouth I give my chin a couple of strokes and it looks perfectly normal.

TONIGHT JOHNSTON STORES Next to the Poly Clean Center Med ford Shopping Center VA Forms Must Be Returned Soon The Veterans Administra tion has mailed out some two million annual income ques tionnaires with the Nov. 30 pension checks - a month earlier than in previous years. The questionnaires went to veterans and dependents of deceased veterans on the VA s non-service-connected pension rolls, and to parents of de ceased veterans who are re ceiving dependency and in demnity compensation. More than 23,000 Oregon veterans and survivors received the questionnaires. The questionnaires are punched cards which must be filled out with the required information and returned to the VA before the deadline of Jan. 31 or payments will be suspended. If, after suspen sion, no questionnaire is sub mitted, the pensioner may be required to pay back all pay ments received in 1962. The forms are machine punched. The VA requests these cards be handled with care so they can be processed through tabulating machines when they are returned. They must not be folded, trimmed or mutilated in any manner. Recipients are cautioned to be sure to complete every blank space on the card. If a ques tion does not apply, "none" should be written. The card must be signed, and then mailed to the address in the upper righthand corner. This address should be copied exactly as it appears on the card - not on the enevelope. This earlier distribution will permit those with fixed incomes to return the cards at once, while those with earn ings or changing incomes may still wait until they get their W-2 forms or other informa tion they need to know in order to answer the questions. Anyone needing help with their cards should contact the Jackson County Veterans Service office in the court house annex.

Dairy Industry Expected To Bring Well-Rounded Plan Before Legislature Salem -(UPD The Oregon Dairy Industry committee will not rush to the legislature during the early days of the 1963 session - it will wait until It has a well worked out program, if any, the State De partment of Agriculture pre dicted Thursday. The department issued a re view of the plight of the Ore gon dairy Industry, and point ed to the lack of agreement among dairymen as to what m Small Worlds Around Us By Lynn W. itfr waiKini (Register A Tribune syndicate, 19fi2t Gobi of Information Comes From Coffee-Drinkeri 'Club' In my search for informa tion and Ideas I have discov ered an almost inexhaustible source of knowledge in a place where I go frequently for a cup of coffee. The cof fee costs money, out tne in formation is free. Remarks and sage observa tion on any subject under the sun is given unstintingly and in great gobs. Quite often the information I get I can never hope to use, but somehow or other I have always felt that some time it may be useful. At least it sort of keeps me abreast of the vernacular of the1 vulgar and besides enter taining me, enriches my vocabulary. For instance, I never before knew what "loop - legged" meant. I'm not too sure that I do now but it may come in nicely some time if I want to describe someone with a wob bly walk. A man ordered a dish of rice pudding the other day; the waitress asked him why he ate the stuff. He never hesitated a second, but point ing his empty spoon at hci' said, "You see, I've got a bad stomach and I'll be darned if I'll put anything good in it." Biggest Fish Guy on the next stool said he had caught the biggest fish ever brought in at the marina. "Why," he said, "Just the picture of it alone weighed 11 pounds." Not even the most ardent of the coffee-drinkers felt they could exceed that one, so for almost 60 seconds they all sipped in a kind of liquid silence. But with that much talent present, quietness could not last for very long. Besides, the fish story had been a challenge. The reputation of all pres ent was at stake. The man two scats over recalled how fast he used to be on his feet. "We never used a dog when my daddy and I went rabbit hunting," he said. "I would run alongside the rabbit, reach over and feel his ribs; if he was fat enough I'd step aside and tell dad to go ahead and shoot." Approving Nod Any story had to be good in this gathering to get more than a one-second laugh. This one merely received an ap proving nod of the collective heads. The gentleman next to me, knowing my interest in animals, favored me with the next one. He said he had visited a zoo on his day off from work and when he got there all the monkeys were running around loose. "How come?" he asked the zoo attendant, who informed him that "the monkeys arc loose because it's a holiday for them. "It's Charles Dar win's birthday." As I was leaving, one of the regulars said he had dis covered how to drive nails without mashing his thumb with the hammer. I should have known better, but I ask ed how it could be done. He replied, "You simply hold the hammer firmly with both hands." All of which probably does not amount to anything. May be I've been wasting my time except for one thing that I think may be the gem of them all. Men have sought constant ly for a long time to know how to live to be a hundred. Strangely enough, I overheard the secret from one of the coffec-drinkcrs. The answer is so simple that it's silly and I can't fig ure out why no one ever thought of it before: You Just keep breathing. type of stabilization program was needed. In the final weeks of the 1961 Legislature, a drastic price break in the Portland fluid milk market sent the dairy industry into a tailspin. On appeal of producers and processors, the legislature en acted a state stabilization law on a temorary basis. It was a "breather" to give the industry time to point its own way to future stability. The temporary law will ex pire on Dec. 31. After the stabilization law was enacted. Agriculture Di rector J. F. Short appointed Kenneth Sawyer administra tor. After a scries of public hearings, the department es tablished grade A fluid milk prices to producers in 10 mar ket areas, effective June 16, 1961. Milk Under One Market Subsequent hearings - 27 in all have been held under the program-brought some chang es. Since July of this year, most of the milk movement in the state has been under one mar ket at a $5.R6 price. The stabilization price ap plies only to that part of grade A milk sold in bottle and can trade. The oversupply of grade A goes into manufactured products and brings less than the stabilization price. Looking ahead to the termi nation of the temporary act, the Oregon Dairymen's Asso ciation in September, 1961, called a meeting of representa tives of 90 per cent of the fluid milk production of the state. ODA President Frank Rood explained the ODA developed the Oregon Dairy Industry Committee to work on the program. The committee in cludes representatives of 25 organized milk producer groups that account for 85 per cent of the total milk produc tion in Oregon. Situation Studied This committee, with funds from producer groups, brought to Oregon a Washington, D. C. man, J. D. Mason, a milk mar keting economist, to study the situation and make recommen dations for the future. Upshoot of his recommen dations was to focus attention on a federal milk marketing order. Eventually the indus try committee rejected this approach. Next, the ODI committee concentrated on a voluntary statewide program. Under the stabilization program, Eugene area producers and processors developed a voluntary pro gram which has been success ful, although holding within the state-set pricing. After several meetings, ef forts at a statewide voluntary program were lessened as a few of the larger groups with in the industry indicated they could not support it. Committee Sidetracked That threw the committee studies back on a state pro gram, and on Nov. 7 the com mittee voted unanimously to set up a sub-committee to draft a state stabilization act for consideration of the full ODI committee. In two successive meetings, efforts of the drafting com mittee to get down to work; were sidetracked in squab. b 1 i n g aver fundamentals which the parent committco had instructed be included. The agriculture department's summary concludes with this observation: "Some committee members predict the industry will close ranks and go to the legisla ture with a request for some type of state stabilization. Oth ers in the industry aren't so sure." NATURAL GAS EQUIPMENT COMPANY On Display the largest selection ot gas heating equip ment in So. Ore.
