FHIUAY. NOVEMBER 8. 1963 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON mm V V Vif Til u , n - I ft sr 7 Upon hearing that Sclh Bullis arrives at the news room of The Medford Mail Tribune every Saturday morning at 11 o'clock with a large sack of cookies plus other nibble foods for his friends on the staff, Safeway stores Seth Bullis has many titles, some official, some unofficial, some affectionate and many respectful. He's a former district manager for the California-Oregon Power Company, a past president of Jackson County Civic Music Association and of the county Red Cross Chapter, has worked with other civic groups and is an amateur historian with a head crammed full of inter esting and useful information about Medford and Jackson County. Many refer to Mr. Bullis as. "Mr. Medford" and many others are pleased to call him friend. He bears one title, however, that isn't generally known. He is the Busy Baker Ambassador for The Medford Mall Tribune, and has a handsome certificate attesting thereto. Mr. B. has earned the title, too. For quite some time now Mr. Bullis has been calling at The Tribune news room every Saturday morning at 11 o'clock. If he doesn't arrive, there are only two reasons. He's either out of the city or ill. And what's more, appreciating the fact that reporters and editors have an extraordinary capacity for devouring food of all sorts, he always comes bearing a large sack of cookies plus boxes of crackers or other goodies. It would be no exaggeration to say that since he developed this friendly habit, Seth has bought several hundred pounds of food for the news roomers. Debonair Mr. B. dispenses charm and goodwill, too. He always wears a boutonnicre, usually a tiny pink rose, and is in a good humor. One Saturday morning, munching a cookie, Pal Peg decided that perhaps Safeway stores would like to know about what goes on in Medford every Saturday morning, since Mr. B. buys most of his offerings in a Safeway store. Being a woman of action, she then and there wrote a letter to the administrative office in Oak land, Calif. She explained that not only did he keep The Mail Tribune larder filled with eineersnnps, cocoasnaps, etc., but that he was a most unusual man referred to as the "vice president of everything and "mayor of southern Oregon. R. W. Church, manager of the Bakery Division of Safeway, was a man of action, too, and in no time at all, Pal Peg received the framed certificate. It was presented with due flourish (on a Saturday morning, of course) and now hangs on the wall of Mr. B's office at Pacific Power and Light Company. And It's just like Pal Peg wrote In her thank-you letter to Mr. Church, after Scth's certificate had arrived. "Who says big busi ness doesn't have a heart!" O.S. PESTICIDE PROTECTION .

Sit with head, shoulders, and trunk erect, when standing, the spine should be straight. Some physicians credit soft beds, soft chairs and the other comforts of modern civilization with an increase in the number of persons who suffer from the low back pain. It occurs at any age, but seems to bother middle-aged persons most. issued him a certificate of appointment as a Busy Baker Ambassador to the paper.

Dinettes Now Show Formality By MARGARET McELHENY CHICAGO (UPI) Dinettes introduced at the recent Inter national Home Furnishings Market here showed a trend toward greater formality. Table tops of high pressure laminates duplicated the color and patterns of fine woods and marbles. Metal has been fash ioned into graceful shapes, even into fluted classic lines. The formal trend was ex plained by Henry 0. Radloff, head of marketing activities for B. Broady Seating company here. The kitchen has become the most expensive room in the av erage American home, he said. It represents a cost of more than $2,500 for refrigerator, range, deluxe sink, disposer, cabinets, and counters. 'It iust doesn't look right from a decorative standpoint when the homcmakcr puts a dining set that costs $50 or $60 in such a setting. "In homes with separate din ing rooms, kitchen dining fur niture may be even more im portant because most families eat the majority of their meals in the kitchen." Restricted Space Another reason for high-styl ed kitchen furniture is the re stricted space of many new homes and apartments and the emergence of living-dining area combinations. "Homes lacking dining rooms require furniture that does the job of the kitchen and dining room," Kadlotf said, adding: And from the standpoint of teaching young children proper table manners, you can t expect them to learn if the setting isn't right. Certainly, sitting on a bar stool at a kitchen snack bar isn't the best kind of training environment." Radloff admits that dinettes in new styles and finishes can cost as much as a dining room table. "You can see the trend your self in your local furniture or department store," he said. "You'll find the starter sets in chrome, bronze, or black fin ishes for lens than S75. But you'll also find dining sets at J249 and even higher." Artery Hardening Begins in Infancy NEW YORK (UPI) The hardening of arteries, a dis ease usually associated wun old age, actually may begin in imancy. A study of the coronary ar teries of 25 dead inlants and children by a team of research ers, headed by Dr. A. S. Uaoud, from Albany Medical College and Veteran s Administration hospital, Albany, N.Y., showed the existence of fatty patches and wall thickening. The children varied in age from stillborn to 15 years. These conditions were found to be more pronounced with age, and the researchers say "may represent the early stages of arteriosclerotic heart disease." Their report was in a recent publication of the Journal of The American Medical Associa tion.

Retarded Child Is Subject By Gay Pauley UPI Women's Editor NEW YORK (UPI)-Retarded children are more like other children than unlike them. Like normal children, retarded chil dren are sensitive to the opinion of others. And, there is much the mentally retarded children can learn, if parents and teach ers help him with what most normal children absorb or ngure out by themselves. These are among the several points made in a publication which arrives only a few days after President Kennedy signed legislation authorizing a $329 million program to deal witn mental retardation through the construction of community health centers and through re search and treatment. The President's sister, Rose mary, oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph P. Kennedy, is in an institution for the men tally retarded. "People used to be ashamed of a mentally retarded child," the president's mother told one reporter recently. "That's not true today. People don't think a child should be shunted away, and not mentioned." Mrs. Kennedy told of the family foundation that has given more than $16.5 million since 1946 to hospitals, institutions, day care centers and research projects in the field of mental health. The author of the publication, 'The Retarded Child Gets Ready for School,' is concerned par ticularly with education because she says it determines to a great extent how successful the child will be in leading as nor mal a life as possible. The booklet is the work of Mrs. Margaret Hill, education chairman of the Wyoming IVERSON'S Cornor 6th & Holly ti iiHt'imiii- 1, j iw Woman Leisure . . . Arts American actor, is shown here "A Thousand Clowns" which season. Mr. Ireland and young actor is cast as a "wise beyond branch of the National Associa tion for Retarded Children and writer on the subjects of men tal health, child-rearing and education. The publisher is the Public Affairs Committee, a non-profit . education organiza tion founded in 1935. Mrs. Hill explains there are varying degrees of retardation and that sometimes it is neces sary to institutionalize a child who is so severely retarded that his physical care makes the family tense, irritable and overly-fatigued. The author shows through the contrasts in the story of twin boys, one of whom is retarded, one not, how a family can pro pare a retarded youngster for scrool. She reminded that a handicap ped child should not be iden tified by his exceptionality as "that deaf boy," "that retarded child," "the girl with the limp." "Retarded children are more like other children than unlike them," she said, "and general goals for educating the retarded should follow, in so far as prac tical, the same goals for educa tion of normal children ... in self-sufficiency, economic use fulness, satisfying human rela tionships, civic responsibility." "Obviously," she added, "the degree to which each of these goals can be fulfilled varies ac cording to the nature and sever ity of the child s mental deticit.

The three-act drama, called by reviewers one of the most "provocative and "theatrically effective" plays recently pre sented on the American scene, suggests "the pathos of the small-towners struggle with or thodoxy, and the hope contained in the Biblical passage 'He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind: and the fool shall be servant to the wise at heart'."
