By MARY TOBIN Memphis, Tenn. - (UPP Just for a Joke, the motel op erator put up a sign that read "Pets Welcome-No Elephants Please! Then , a 300-pound baby elephant arrived in a white Cadillac. Thai, a one-year-old pachy derm traveling with a circus, was chauffeured by his train er who thought up the stunt to promote his show. But motel man Bill Brouillette of McAllen, Tex., said this wasn't quite enough to get the animal a room. So Thai downed several dozen hamburgers at a near by snack bar and had to set tle for a tent in a vacant lot adjoining the motel Not an unusual episode in tile life of a motel manager. Amusing and odd events are often witnessed by personnel of America's booming home- away-from-home business. One of the largest motel chains, the Memphis-based Holiday inns of America, sur veys its innkeepers period ically to keep account of their lighter experiences. Funny Episodes Motel men even find funny episodes served up on the tables of their dining rooms. A guest at a Monroe, La., motel reported an item that caught her eye on the evening menu. "Yankee pot roast," it said, "southern style." In Appleton, Wis., a guest called the chef to praise his fine steak and lobster. "I told him my companions and I had travelled all the way from New York to eat his food," the guest said. "The Hungarian chef re plied: 'I certainly appreciate that, and you know I came all the way from Budapest to fix it for you." Newlywcds cause more hu mor at times. In Chicago's Melrose Park area, there's an inn that assures bridal couples a fast getaway from mis chievous friends. Operator James Schwartz has a heliport for his guests. He dares any one to tic old shoes to a heli copter. One honoymooner, how ever, returned a room key to Columbia, S-C, innkeeper Gene Tucker with a note apologizing for leaving with the key. "I have no defense for this sort of behavior," the note said, "except to say that this is my first honeymoon and I hope my last." Then there was the man who checked into a motel at Tulsa, Okla., late one night with his large family. The tired pater asked for connect ing rooms, a roll-a-way bed, bubv bed and other sleeping equipment. When the items were delivered, the frustrated father counted beds and ap peared satisfied until a tiny two-year-old toddled from the bathroom "One more," shouted the man, "I forgot this one.' Children's Feats Children often provide the heartiest laughs. One three- year-old discovered a flash light in a motel at Ocula. Fla. She turned the lights off and began beaming the flashlight on her feel. Asked what she was doing, the little girl replied: "I'm shining my feet." Sometimes innkeepers have problems when persons who are not guests ask to use motel swimming pools. Lynn Harrison, motel oper ator at Massena, N.Y., tells about one hot day when a boy, 10, strolled up to the desk seeking permission to take a dip. The desk clerk told the youngster the pool was for guests only, and not open to the public. "But I'm not a Public," said the disappointed lad, "I'm a Catholic." OSU Bulletin Wins Editors' Recognition Corvallis - An Oregon State University extension bulletin, "Exploring the Spice Shelf," has been picked as one of the best in its class by the American Association of Agricultural Editors.

I Kennedy Family Nurse To Care for Newborn Son By HELEN THOMAS Washington -flM- The Ken nedy women have one thing in common. They all want tneir favorite family nurse. Luella Hennessey, around when they have their babies. She was on hand when Mrs. Robert F. Kennedy gave birth by caesarian section to a boy on the Fourth of July, She has assisted in the de liveries of 18 of the 21 Ken nedy clan grandchildren. She now will up the score even more with the birth of the third child to President and Mrs. John F. Kennedy. The petite, five foot two red-haired nurse, affectionate ly dubbed "Lulubelle," is al most a member of the clan. She joined up with the fam ily of former Ambassador Jo seph P. Kennedy, father of the resident, in 1937. She has been a part of their lives ever since. When the President's fa ther suffered a stroke in De cember, 1961, Miss Kennedy was summoned to do special duty for him. She was with him for several months there after and when he paid occa sional visits to the White House. She knows the President as "Jack" and all of the Ken nedys as if they were her own children. She helped most of them through their childhood illnesses and in many ways helped grandmoth er Rose Kennedy raise them. The blue-eyed, sweet-man nered nurse became well known as the "baby nurse' when John F. Kennedy Jr., was born Nov. 25, 1960. Young Nurse Her career with the Ken nedys started when she was a young graduate nurse at St. Elizabeth's hospital in Brighton, Mass. and was call ed on to "special" Patricia Kennedy Lawford, then 13 years old, through an emer gency appendectomy. Soon after "Bobby" Ken nedy was taken to the same hospital with pneumonia, it was Pat and Bobby who de cided that Miss Hennessey should go back with them to their summer home at Hyan nis Port, Mass. Through the years she has tried to find out why the youngsters picked her out of a field of six other private duty nurses. She always gets the same answer: "Because you were the meanest and the crossest and we didn't like you." She is always one of the first alerted when another Kennedy grandchild is on the way. So attached are they to her that one of the Kennedy women who was in labor, once insisted: "No, I will not go to the delivery room until Miss Hennessey gets here from the airport." Touch and Go Sometimes it's touch and go whether she'll arrive in time. She did not get to Georgetown hospital in Wash ington until after John Jr., the President's son, was de livered by caesarian section. But she was there a few hours later and in time to assure Mrs. Kennedy when she had awakened that her baby was 'adorable and perfect." Seeing his family nurse when he visited his wife at the hospital, the President gave her an affectionate kiss on the cheek and said: "It's awfully good to have you around." During those days, Mr. Kennedy would show up at the hospital with an entourage of secret service men, doctors, patients and reporters. She would tease him that he look ed like the "Pied Piper of Hamclin. The President, in turn. would rib her about a New York newspaper story which referred to her as a "practical nurse, 56 years old." "I see you've been fooling my lamily all these years, pretending to be a graduate nurse. I must say we never guessed that you were 56 either," the President teased. Lulubelle became a full- time member of the clan when the elder Kennedy be came ambassador to the Court of St. James's in 1938 and asked her to go along with him and his family. She remembers those days Visitors Arrive From New York Central Point - Mr. and Mrs. Hanford M. Twitchell of New York City arrived here last week to visit their son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Cleve Twitchell of 5480 Gebhard rd. Mr. Hanford Twitchell is vice president in charge of the appraisal department of Brett, Wyckoff, Potter, Hamil ton, Inc. of New York, specializing in urban renewal. The visitors expect to visit in the valley for three weeks. Fashion Favors Longer Sleeves United Press International The return of longer sleeves in ready-to-wear has brought a revival of four and six-but ton length gloves. But the longer eight-button and the shortie ending at the wrist will continue into winter, re ports the Leather Industries of America. A new idea for the convert ible in blouses: One manufac turer shows skirts which can be dressed up or dressed down. A string tie slips through loops at the neckline or tucks under the collar to be tied in a feminine bow at the front. Removed, it leaves a tailored shirt. Fur felt bodies make a comeback in fall millinery. Look also for leathers, suedes and reptiles, more furs in the unusual category such as lynx, stencilled calf and white lamb, and ostrich for evening. Trailing ostrich plums falling almost to waist on tiny skull cap hats were shown for eve ning with the Norman Norell designer collection of ready-to-wear. 1 Cave Junction Pair Visit in Hornbrook Hornbrook - Mr. and Mrs. L. E. Jeter, Cave Junction, Ore., were in town over the weekend to transact business and visiting friends. The Je ters were longtime residents of Hornbrook, until last Sep tember when he was pro moted to senior inspector and transferred to the Redwood Quarantine station at O'Brien. Their daughter and her family, Dr. and Mrs. Richard Campbell and sons, Rick and Timmy, are now located in Orangevale, Calif., where Dr. Campbell is opening a dental practice. Washington - Nurse Luella Hennessey, pictured above, will care for Mrs. John F. Kennedy's new baby, born Aug ust 7 in the Otis Air Force Base hospital. She was on hand when Mrs. Robert F. Kennedy gave birth to a son July 4. and has assisted in the deliveries of 18 of the 21 Kennedy clan grandchildren. (UPI photo) in London vividly when the Kennedy girls, Rosemary, Kathleen and Eunice, were presented to the queen and how hours on end they prac ticed curtsying. She remembers those who are gone now - Joe Jr., a serious thoughtful boy mature beyond his years" who was killed in World War II, and beautiful Kathleen who be came the wife of the Marquis Hartington and died in a plane crash in 1948. Clan Member She remembers how the President's mother used to keep a card file in which she recorded the illnesses of each of the nine children. She re calls the Kennedys "were a happy family and very close." Although she is not always with them now, the Kennedys never forget her at holiday time and always include her in the big family events, in cluding a ringside seat at the inauguration. One Christmas Eve she got home after delivering toys to underprivileged children and found a new car waiting at her door, a present from the whole Kennedy family. She has been invited to all the weddings and she has travel ed to Washington, Chicago and Beverly Hills, Calif., to assist at the births of the ever-growing clan. One of her most cherished possessions is a framed pic ture of John Jr., signed "To Luella - with all love and gratitude, Jackie," and "To Luella, with affectionate re gards of her old friend, John Kennedy." She has a full time job now as supervisor of the Walpole, Mass., Visiting Nurses associa tion. But whenever a Kenne dy needs her, she comes arun-ning.
