The bitter cold wave which g swept the midwest, east and south last week put much of the nation's merchandise into a deep freeze, reports Fairchild News Service. Only the northwest and west coast weren't hit by icy blasts. In some frozen areas, suburban branches helped save sales averaccs from dropping when downtown traffic came to a standstill. Yet in other sections, the suburbs FivV wcic mi. even naiuvi iimii me uroaii ccuiera us cum, auuw, ice ana wiuas iuuk a tun un volume. Sales in the New York-northeastern New Jersey area managed to break even, but New York City, numbed by its newspaper strike, was down 9 and down 8 for the four-week period ending Saturday. Extraordinary sub-zero weather hit Atlanta for one day but it was not enough to chill the week's gains, volume ranging j from 5 to 10 ahead. Most shoppers took to the suourbs and sportswear, dresses, budget coats and furs lifted over-all sales. Icy streets kept downtown shopping thin in Dallas and sub urban traffic could not support falling volume. Snow, cold and its newspaper strike cut into Cleveland's business. Cool weather came to Los Angeles, helping coat and suit sales, and there was response to increased ads for spring dresses. ffifi ""TIT": 1781920212223 " f 3 ' , hy fit Tn ZiXiV' i?f. f' 'LHv - ri r ,1,11 J ! v Vj 3 A NEW FACE LIFTING hat juil been completed at Hudton't Pharmacy, 613 East Main street in Medford, and the new store front, with special lighting effects, hat brightened this east side shopping area.

WATKINS (Register and Tribune Syndicate, 1963) Mistreatment of Alley Cat Turns It Into Jungle Beast It s important to under- stand right from the start that Rusty was just about the most gentle and friendly tomcat ever to prowl an alley or squall from a backyard fence. He was a big cat, fully grown, about 3-years-old and loved by everyone who knew him; his acquaintance ship was large. Every child in the en tire neighborhood knew Rus ty; every family gave him a handout whenever he visited them or parked on their door step. Children carried Rusty in every conceivable position, head down or right side up. The very young children often carried the big cat by merely putting one arm around his neck and letting the rest of his body hang in the air. In pite of the fact there were many times when the cat must have been nearly choked to death, he accepted the indig nity without protest. Either child or adult, long time friend or perfect stran ger, could call the cat by say ing, "kitty, kitty," and the cat would immediately come to them, arch his back, rub the leg and purr loud and con- tendedly. Watched Builders It was always a debatable question In the neighborhood as just who did own Rusty, but he spent most of his time and lavished most of his af- Valley Libraries To Share Books Grants Pass Libraries In Grants Pass, Medford and Ashland will start this week on a book - sharing project which is expected to make available a greater selection of titles at all three libraries, according to Mrs. Florence Moberly, head librarian of the Josephine County library. The project will Involve the temporary exchange of about 100 volumes at a time, start fection on a gentleman who owned a large rooming house. Here, in a warm, cozy corner of the living room. Rusty spent his daylight hours. A half block away a large building was under construc tion. The cat, desiring human company, visited the building every day; he was a pet of all the workmen. From a window opening Rusty watched the carpenters, the plumbers and the other men that came to work. As the building neared completion, the plasterers ar rived. Day by day they slap. ped white plaster on the Inner walls. Rusty seemed interest ed in these workmen as they were nearly all white with dried plaster on everything, even their shoes. Came the day when Rusty was not on the windowsill. He didn't curl up in his favor ite corner to sleep. The chil dren searched the neighbor hood. A local radio station broadcast a description and offered a reward for the cat's return. There was no re sponse. Rusty had dropped from sight. Weeks and months passed, and most of the folks that had known Rusty forgot him. The children found other inter ests. Rusty was forgotten by everyone except his owner. Nearly two years had passed when one morning the rooming house owner saw a cat on his windowsill. He hurried outdoors; it was Rus ty. The cats fur was soiled and rumpled his feet were bleeding, his body bruised He had evidently traveled a long way. The man took him. fed him and nursed him back to health. Personality Changed Rusty was his old sweet self, until one day a man with white shoes on came close to the cat. The cat snarled and attacked the shoes. Rusty's owner, not realizing the rea. son, pulled the cat away Several days later, another person, this time a lady, puss. ed by within Rusty's sight wearing white shoes. Again . A 11 Live Shell Used as Doorstop 40 Years Bulkington, England -(UPD -An ammunition expert said today a World War I artillery shell that was used as a door step in a home here for mora than 40 years was potentially deadly. It might have gone off at any time," said Capt. John Sharland, who exploded tha shell harmlessly in a field near the house. "It was in very dangerous condition." The shell, brought homo from the war by a brother. was cherished by Kate Wil cox, who was 92 when sha died in November. She kept it highly polished. nd It survived a fire which damaged the Wilcox home in 1961. Relatives settling Mrs. Wil cox's estate called in Shar land to dispose of it when tha garbage collector refused to take it away.

Medford, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Duggan, 3152 Tresham Lane. Central Point, were among 34 members of an Oregon Grange tour group who visited the C and H Sugar Corpora tion's Hawaii refinery at Aiea, January 24. The Oregon farm group was welcomed by representatives of Hawaii's can sugar in dustry, which is a major source of the 50th State's spendable income. They pointed out to the visitors that although Hawaii is the nation's largest producer of sugar, the state must depend on mainland farms and factories to supply most of the needs of its residents. Hawaii obtains more than $35 million worth of lumber, fruit, vegetables, wheat and manufactured products for the Pacific Northwest each year. BABY WEEK-BIG PROMOTIONAL OPPORTUNITY. Baby Week, April 27-May 4, sponsored by Gerber Products Company, will once again receive heavy promotion sup port. This year's theme, "Full of good things," offers an excellent opportunity for stores to tell customers they carry a full selection of baby needs. A survey of 11,000 supermarkets in six major cities, conducted by the Gerber Products Company, shows that the young mother baby food shopper is the grocer's best customer. The checkouts which Include baby foods averaged 627c higher than checkouts without baby foods, baby food shoppers spending an average of S15.Z1 per visit while non-baby food orders averaged $9.39. The study also shows that one out of nine customers had baby foods in their checkouts.

Poor Rusty - he never regained his old friendliness, for human cruelty had changed him into a jungle beast.
