y Everything for Your Garden but the Rain!
'HAM! Mil.
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."

Attend
'Caravan7
Mr. and Mrs. Harold Thurs
ton of the Thurston Dance
studio, 245 Stewart avenue,
have returned from Portland
where they attended "Dance
Caravan," a convention for
dance teachers.
Instructors, from through
out the country, included
Miss Tania Karina, a ballerina
formerly with the Ballet
Russe, now guest soloist with
numerous c o m p anies; and
Luigi, well - known modern
jass instructor from New
York City.
The local couple studied
with the two and will use
techniques which they taught
for classes conducted in their
I studio here. Among them will
be a scries of exercises de
veloped by Luigi which are
being accepted by profession
al dancers and teachers
throughout the world as a
foundation for a basic tech
nique for modern jazz.
The exercises also are sug
gested for housewives and
business women.
In the ballroom sessions
the new Ay-Bo-Le was intro
duced and taught with a num
ber of dances for the teenage
group. In September the
Thurstons will open a six
month course of classes for
teenage students, beginning
with basics and ballroom eti
quette, advancing to the var
ious popular dances as well
as standard ballroom dances.
The couple also operates a
studio in Klamath Falls. In
both the one in Medford and
there they conduct morning
pre-school kindergartens, in
cluding transportation. They
also have all types of classes
in ballet, tap, jazz, acro
batics, toe and ballroom.
One of their advanced stu
dents, Susan Gifford, is study
ing with the San Francisco
Ballot company during the
summer.

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.

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.
