SUNDAY. FEBRUARY 17. 1963 MEDFOHD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON SUNDAY, r LBHUAn Y, 17. 1963 I 1 n I Try and Stop Mc -By BENNETT CERF- THE MAIN COUHSE at a dinner in Washington was Cor nish rock hen, and the pailner of a very proper diplo mat seemed to be having trouble with it "I'm afraid," (he whispered, "they didn't take all of the shotgun pellets out of this bird." The diplomat was sorely troubled, for he knew that birds like Cor nish hens are never brought down with shot guns. Suddenly he rea lized what had gone amiss. The lady's pearl necklace had snapped, and the beads had fallen into her dinner plate. Jack Fuller tells about the fun-loving rover who elected ten friends at random and wired them a one-word mes sage: "CONGRATULATIONS." Nine of them replied within a week, thanking him, and going into detail about some recent exploit they thought worthy of his praise. There was a similar Jokester, of course, who drove friends Into a tizzy by telegraphing each of them, "Please disregard my previ ous wire." A bride-to-be showed a friend a list of her proposed wedding guests. "I wonder If you realize," commented the friend, "that you've Included nothing but married couples." "Of course," said the bride-to-be complacently. "We figured that if we Invite only married folks, the presents will be clear profit!" 1963, by Bennett Cert Dlitrtbufea by Kin Future Syndicate On the Air By ELEANOR WIESE Newsmen covering Hie U.S Senate have found a new way to forecast events - by watch ing for blue shirts. "The fact that a Senator shows up wearing a fairly dark blue shirt may be lranght with significance, sr.ys news corespondent Rob ert McCormick. Blue shirts are considered ideal for camera appearances, acording to Mr. McCormick, though actually shirts of any solid color are quite alright. The idea is to have as little contrast as possible between shirt and coat. A while shirt with a black coat is the worst combination. But the idea became im planted in Congressional minds back in the early days of television that blue was the only color for TV shirts, so blue it is. Most members have blue shirts, and they usually wear their best blue shirts when they intend to make a speech they think will be especially newsworthy, or when they intend to propose an amend' ment to pending legislation they think will kick up a par ticular fuss, or when they think that, for a variety of other reasons, Ihey may wind up in front of a camera. For example, during con sideration of one particularly controversial piece of legis lation, Senate leaders were keeping careful watch over one member who had threat ened to advance an amend ment that was certain to start a major fight and might have delayed passage of the entire bill. Newsman McCormick ex plains, "Reporters also were anxious to get as much ad vance notice as possible of the Senator's intentions. One morning during debate, he showed up in a dark blue IS Jh r r H i it i .irnrnK 0 1 t tr- """ft? shirt - which was all the warning anybody needed."

Under terms of the law: A gun cannot be sold on Sunday, but ammunlion can be. Sale of an electrical appliance is banned, but light luilbs are exempted. For 'Emergency Puropoies' A wrench, hammer or screwdriver can't be sold unless the buyer needs if for "emergency purposes . . due to acts of Cod, war or public enemy." Sale of a kitchen chair is outlawed, but a customer can buy a lawn chair. A topcoat cannot be sold, but a raincoat can. A parent cannot buy his girl a doll, but can buy a boy a baseball. A downtown supermarket can't sell corn, but it can be sold at a roadside stand If it was grown nearby. Like most laws written to please diverse groups, this law could end up pleasing none. The small businessman and the tourist industry appear to benefit the most from the law. The big discount houses and some chain stores could suffer the most. The law prohibits stores from selling specific items listed in the act on "both of any successive Saturday and Sunday." A merchant could close on Saturday and remain open on Sunday. But few, if any, merchants would close on their peak sales day Saturday in order to open on Sunday. The law says Hems prohibited from being sold on Sunday must be removed from the sales area or suitably covered from public view. This could play havoc with, say a drug store, where 1,001 items are haphazardly mingled on the shelves, some available for sale on Sun day and some not. Local Option Clause An even bigger cause for headaches is the local op lion clause. Any of Michigan's 83 counties that want to exempt themselves from the provisions of the law may do so with a two-thirds vote of the county board of supervisors. At least one county has already exempted itself from the law and many others seem certain to follow. Thp Input nnlinn antfla ma. mil In n nH nri .1 t.i . v(..v..

The little storekeeper gets a break at the expense of the giant supermarket. Food for consumption away from the premises where sold is included in the ban but only when sold by a big volume store. A retail outlet with less than 4,000 square feet of floor space or man ned by not more than two proprietors and one other person is exempted from the ban on food sales.
