The Medford paintings that went to Alba in the exchange were exhibited at a large re ception at the city hall, where they were sold in less than an hour after the exhibit opened, Snider said. They remained on display, howeverj for all Alba citizens to view them. Payment Forwarded Payments for the paintings will be forwarded to Medford By Famija Albcisa, a family club, which is permitted to col lect money for such projects. There is no similar provision in this country for such collections, Snider said, but he will receive and distribute the money to the Baylor' 1 V' A careful workman knows only too well that skill and precision are the foundations of good and lasting design.

No women's works were a,u m me exchange from Alba. Quite the opposite situa tion existed in fh Mnrfr..,i display in which the works of a number of freminine artists were featured. Snider said he got the impression in Alba that few women went in for paint ing, confining their activities to home, family and fashion. fcntmisiasm Tremendous The enthusiasm of thp Aiha people for the cultural exchange program, however, was "tre mendous," Snider said. He found that the art works they had purchased from the ex change project were all viewed as treasured objects in their homes. He also met several of the artists whose work are in cluded in the exhibit here and found them engaging in various HiuieMions w n i i e expressing their interest in art.

He explained that he was not criticizing the customs de partment but was eager to sec the project continued now that people here have been educated to "how is should be done." He found the Italian people also enthusiastic about the ex change of seeds and he was for tunate in viewing the beans in production and the Mexican fire bushes in their fall color. Purse Snatcher Given Six Months Per Penny DALLAS (UPI) - Wendell Polk, 18, snatched a purse from a woman's hand last March and fled. A jury Wednesday convicted him and sentenced him to two years in prison. , The sentence averages six months per penny. Polk's total loot was four cents.

The Medical Roundup By Emeritus consultant In Medicine Mayo Clinic Emeritus Professor uf Medicine Mayo clinic CRe.ister and Tribune Syndicate, 1963). MOST OK OUR FOOD IS SAFE Because these days so many housewives are frightened by scary articles in the maga zines, I am glad when I read in medical and scientific jour nalls that tests of our foods in government laboratories usu ally fail to show any signifi cant contamination with either fallout strontium or pesticides. For instance, a couple of months ago I read in the "Jour nal" of the AMA that "The latest results of the Food and Drug Administration's 'total diet' studies have again con firmed the safety and high nu- tritive value of the American food supply." The experts said that the strontium-90 content of food from fallout is still well within safe limits; in fact, in some places, even near the bombing sites in Nevada, no strontium 'could be found in milk. Obviously, there is no need for anyone to panic. The experts also measured in foods pesticide residue, and conclud ed that the amounts of them are well within safe limits. And here is another ' state ment that all mothers of grow ing children should read: the experts said that many foods as bought "contain ample quan tities of vitamins." Today the food and drug people are warn ing us that there are many men going about making much money by scaring the mothers of families into buying many dollars' worth of vitamins and food-adclitives. The salesmen claim that unless the additives are used, the woman's loved ones will fall ill with some de ficiency disease. Our national experts say that this is bunk, and they are beginning to go after the salesmen and to con fiscate their false advertise ments. I often say that 70 years ago, when I was a boy, my mother had never heard of vitamins they had not yet been dis covered but nevertheless all of us five children grew sev eral inches taller than our par ents; we all grew up well and strong, and four of us have lived long. .

The Forest Research Labora tory found that the treated wood was usually as strong or strong er than untreated wood. Treated wood has been demonstrated to be fire safe because it contrib utes fuel slowly, ceases to burn when the flame is removed, limits flame speed and retains Police Said Afraid Of Becoming Toads DENVER (UPI) - A woman called the city attorney's office Wednesday to report that her landlady, a voodoo practitioner, had threatened to kill the wom an's daughter by outline a lock of her hair in a green hollow tree. Asst. Dist. Atty. Richard Plock asked her if she had called the police. "Oh, the police' are scared to come out here," the woman re plied. "My landlady said she d magic them into toads if they bother her." strength for some time at very high temperatures, Graham said. Other Research Other research organizations in the United States, notably the U. S. Forest Products Labora tory, Madison, Wis., are devel oping basic information on the effects of fire on chemically treated wood. OSU's study on fire-retardant treated wood began five years ago. About 1,300 small Douglas fir beams were divided into two groups one under normal storage conditions and the other in not-dry conditions similar to those existing in the Southwest U.S. Forest Research Laboratory personnel broke some of the beams in tests after storage periods of 1 and 3 years. Re maining beams will be tested for breaking and bending at the end of 6 and 10 years. Combined data for 1 and 3 year storage periods show no practical difference between treated and untreated wood. Preparing New Tests The Laboratory is now pre paring to conduct strength tests on fire-retardant treated commercial size Douglas fir lumber. Research has helped to accel erate the acceptance of chemically-treated wood by building code officials for the construc tion of fire-safe buildings. This acceptance by the Building Of- Wisconsin Group Has 'Election Day' Sale Without an Election WHITEFISH BAY, Wis. (UPI) As was their custom the ladies of the Parents-Teachers Association (PTA) prepared for their annual "election day" bake sale Tuesday. Only there was no election. Wisconsin votes in November only in even numbered years unless there is an issue such as a referendum. "I don't know how ' it hap pened," said an embarrassed Mrs. Raymond Morrison, PTA president.

Uniform Building Code and Die National Board of Fire Under writers permits wood to com pete with other structural ma terials classified as non-combustible. A 50 per cent increase in the volume of fire-retardant treated wood used in building construc tion during 1960-61 indicates architects, engineers and build ing officials now are able to designate this chemically-treated wood in almost all types of construction, Graham noted. , LIVE AT THE HOTEL GRAND THIS WINTER Steam heated rooms TV in the lobby Free Phones .
