Newspaper Page TextFRIDAY. MAY 10. 1963 12 A More Fun Than Crot.wortU Sunday Supplemehts Provide West With Entertainment for Rainy Day MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON By DICK WEST Washington WPP Just bout my favorite form of entertainment is provided by question- and - answer column in one of the Sunday supplements. I am always in t r I g u e d by some of the nuMtlnn. that I readers send ImlTZZLj In. For in- Wfit stance, this one: , "Can you tell me if Ro mano Mussolini, jazz pianist son of Benito Mussolini, has been booked into Las Vegas? Louise Schneider, Fort Dodge, Iowa. What intrigues me is why Louise Schneider wanted to know that. I dare say that most American girls aren't even aware that the late Ital ian dictator had a piano-play. ing son. Is Louise friand of his? A ralativa? This could have the ingredients of a good human interest story. On the other hand, it could be that Louise Schneider does not really exist and that the question actually was sent in by Romano booking agent The poor guy may have lost track of where Romano was supposed to appear and was too embarrassed to inquire under his own name. At any rate, this is the way that I entertain myself. I read the questions printed in the column and then I invent it- Your Money's Worth By SYLVIA PORTER Copyright, Hall Syndicate, Inc. 'REPLACEMENT DEMAND' NOW RISING "We need a new stove," stated Louise, our no-nonsense housekeeper, when I walked into the kitchen in our country house last Saturday. "Why? It cooks, doesn't it? What's wrong with it?" Lame ly, I ended "It looks okay to me. "What's wrong with it is that you bought it back In 1058 and it's worn out. It cooks only because I make it cook and it looks okay only because I keep it looking that way. We need a new stove. Now." "You ought to Junk that thing you call a car," I heard a friend say to Ills gardener a few hours later. "Not even you can keep that heap running much longer." "Going to this summer," said the gardener and turning to me he remarked, "If you hear of a bargain in a second-hand car, let me know." These two conversations, by coincidence on the same day pound home to me the enormously important but still gen erally overlooked fact that we are entering (or already have entered) a new cycle of rising replacement demand for dur able goods. This replacement demand will range from autos and appli ances to business equipment and houses. It will be a factor which could give our entire economy a strong upward push in the years ahead. Buying to replace bigilckei Itams bought in the rly, middle 1990s and which art now wearing out will help raisa the "floor" undar the damand for durable goods and whan our durable good Industries are pros paring, our economy prospers. When mounting replace ment buying is added to the new buying flowing natural ly from our growing population and Increasing personal Income, the Impact on business is bound to be good. Scrappage of automobiles sold during the boom mid-1950s Is up sharply this year and will continue to increase. Junking cars In 1063 is estimated at an all-time record of 5.5 million compared with 4.4 million in 1062 and only slightly over 3 million a year early in the past decade. Scrappage of appliancea also is climbing steadily, and as one appliance manufacturer put it, "All we need will be one hot week in July and the number of refrigerators going to the junk pile will skyrocket." Scrappage of obsolete business equipment is accelerating, but even so a new "American Machinist" survey reveals that 64 per cent of all machine tools today are overage (more than 10 years old) against 60 per cent five years ago. The need for modernizing machines and plants in the U.S. is urgent, and assuming Congress votes new tax incentives to pur business investment, plant expansion and modernization will be further stimulated. The scrappage pattern in automobiles Is of major signifi cance to the American economy. To be specific: 11 was In 1053 - 10 years ago - that the years of big auto sales began. With the sole exception of 1958, sales of new cars since 1953 have been near or substantially above 6 million. At the 9-10 year age classification, scrappage of autos becomes heavy - which means we are into the peak scrap page years. Heavy Junking, of course, increases the demand for new and used cars. Actually, the evidence is that at six years, cars are junked in rising volume. The average age of cars on the roads today is six years against 5'.i years In 1957. It's estimated that 25 per cent of 1955'a cars already have been junked. Replacement demand is only one factor tn the sales outlook for durable goods, obviously. It is a highly important factor, though, which has baen operating against the economy rather than ior it In recent years, for by the lata 1950s we had loaded ourselves with new durable goods, Beginning back tn 1955, the rate of rtte In our spending for durable goods fell sharply and helped slow our whole economy's growth. But now the stove we bought in 1056 needs replacing, says Louise - and to paraphrase the popular song, what Louise wants, Louise gets. Now what Is happening in our household surely is happening tn households across the land. A provocative variety of forces are emerging and con verging to bolster future business In our country. When Con gress cases our tax burden and gives us new incentives to create, construct and spend, we at last could get back into a period of great, sustained growth. uatlons to fit them It makes a fine pastime for a rainy day and in my opinion is more fun than working the crossword puzzle. Following are some of the questions that have been submitted recently along with my conception, in pi rantheses, of who might have written them: Q. I would like to know the name of the 17-year-old Belgian girl Stewart Granger Is now going with (Stewart Granger). Q. Is Rosemary Clooncy re conciled with Jose Ferrer (Jose Ferrer). Q. I understand Eddie Fish cr is writing a book. What will it be about? (Richard Burton), Q. Does McGcorge Bundy have the same relationship to President Kennedy as Sher man Adams had to President Eisenhower? (President Ken nedy). Q. Which of our states levy no sales or personal income taxes on their residents? (Mor timer Caplin) Q. Screen star Deborah Kerr - is her marriage to writer Peter Viertel on t h e skids? (Peter Viertel). Q. Is it true that Governor Nelson Rockefeller of New York will become Joan Craw ford's fifth husband? ("Hap py" Murphy). Q. Peter O Toole, who stars In Lawrence of Arabia doesn't he have a different nose than the one with which he was born? (Peter's mother). Q. What about the Princess Soraya-Maximilian Schcll ro mance? True or publicity? (Schell'a press agent) Grange News Shady Cove Grange Shady Cove Grange was host for visitation night for members of Jackson county Granges resccntly.

"The noise" may plague constitutional attorneys and legislative analysists for dec ades. "The Noise" is the conversation - muf fling, siren-sounding, ear-piercing symphony of gasoline-powered chain saws at work dis membering trees downed by the 1062 Co lumbus Day storm. Work of clearing the park surrounding the Capital Building still is under way. It seemed to start in earnest shortly after the 52nd legislature convened. The racket has been faithfully recorded during testimony before virtually every Senate and House committee. It seems to reach a crcsendo during dis cussion of major parts of key legislation. The proceedings of almost every legisla tive activity are being recorded on tape this session. The taped recordings will be catalogued and placed with the legislative archives for future generations. Not only the words, but the tone in which they were spoken, will help jurists and analyists as they attempt to define the true "intent" of the legislature. But "the noise" may have made many of these recordings worthless. It is common during committee sessions to have a legislator explain "the intent" of a measure. When these recordings are replayed, listeners will be treated to something like this: "So there is no confusion, let's explain the intent so it's in the record and there can be no doubt of what we had in mind. "This measure is intended to buzz z z z z) ... it most definitely is not our plan to (buzzzzzzzzz) . , ; which would thwart our intent. "I want to get that in the record so if a court case ever comes up they can play this tape back and know exactly what we have in mind." "The noise" already has shortened the tempers of many legislators who find their words drowned out during committee ses sions. ' Researchers may determine that the wood-sawing in the capitol yard has de stroyed the effectiveness of literally hun dreds of tape recordings. Scout News PRESCRIPTIONS!

W ATKINS (Register and tribune Syndicate, ',96i) Strange Case of Traveling Wasp Remains a Mystery She was about as angry as a wasp could be. Her wrath was justified, for she was subjected to several indignities. Her life's work was interrupted, and she was called upon to perform a feat few of her kind ever at tempted. She was minding her own business, putting the finish ing touches to a mud cell under the over -hang of a garage roof. She had been car rying mud and plastering away at the job for three weeks. Now it was entirely built-all finished except clos ing the opening she had left in one end. Was Ready At last the mud capsule was ready for placement of a dozen or more spiders which she would sting into uncon sciousness and pack into the cell. Then, on the last spider she would lay an egg, seal the opening with a mud door, and rest for a few rays before starting another mud cell in which to lay other eggs. It seemed she was ready to start the hunt for spiders when we caught her. Holding the very angry and violently struggling wasp with twee zers, we rubbed a bright yel low dab of quick-drying lac quer on her left rear leg. We placed her in an empty safety match box. To her, inside the closed box, it must have seemed like night after a terribly short day had overtaken her. Too bad, for she still had such a great deal of work to accomp lish. Quiets Down In the dark inside of the box, she quieted down. Si lence. We held the box to our ear. Not a sound; she was evi dently asleep. She must have wondered what all the jig gling and bouncing was about as the car sped over the road, or the reason for bumps and jars when we turned off on a side road, The wasp slept all the way, or bad been in a state of thoughtless stupor. We picked the box from the car seat and carried it to a nearby stump. We slid the cover back. The wasp blinked In the sudden sunlight. She extended first one wing then the other. One by one she stretched each one of her six legs. With a little spring she came out of the box and into the air. We watched her as she flew in an ever-widening circle, then she disappeared in the heat waves that were ascend ing from the parched road side. Watched Mud Capsule We turned the car toward home. On the way we found two cars that tried to "occupy the same place at the same time," completely blocking the road. It was over an hour before we could proceed. We wondered if Mrs. Wasp was encountering traffic problems too. We reached home and watched the empty mud cap sule. Suddenly, as if by magic, wasp with a bright yellow rear leg, alighted on the mud capsule. Maybe it s not so strange that she wanted to get back. She had put tn a great amount of time and work, but how she had found her way back is beyond human understand ing. Five miles, to a wasp, is a considerable distance.
