Questions are some times
raised as to why the B47s
can't find a peacetime use. As
in the case of the B36s, they
appear lo lack the kind of
workhorse economy demanded
for civilian purposes.
Though it can load ten tons of
bombs, a B47 has a crew of only
three men and at most can ac

By Jaycees in GP
GRANTS PASS-Friday night
has been set as the date for a
Christmas shopping tour" spon
sored annually by Grants Pass
.laycees for underprivileged
children in the community.
As in the past years, the nar-
ticipaling youngsters, ranging
in age from 5 to 12, will be
given four silver dollars each
and shepherded in small groups
through downtown stores to buy
Christmas presents for other
members of Uieir families. Two
Jaycees will accompany each
group.
Money for the project is col
lected by the Jaycees by con
tributions from the nconle of
Grants Pass. Names of the
youngsters are secured through
various community orenn ga
llons. This year about 70 young
sters will participate in the
tour, which is designed to en
courage a "spirit of giving"
among those who might not oth
erwise be able to give.
After the shopping tour the
youngsters will be taken to the
Jaycce clubhouse, where Jaytee
wives win wrap their gifts and
Santa Claus will give out treats
and small presents donated by
the merchants of Grants Pas..
Chairman of the project is
Don Tuckness, Grants Pass.

Teen-Age Inter ests Move Into
White House With New Leader
By IIICLEN THOMAS
Unilrd Press International
WASHINGTON (UPD-Life. in
the White House now has a
teen-age tinge.
The new era took over when
President and Mrs. Johnson
moved into the executive man
sion with their two daughters,
Lynda Bird, 19, and Lucy
Baincs, 16, and the two little
Kennedy charmers, Caroline, 6,
and John Jr., 3, who had cap
tivated the nation, moved out.
Althouch thev are Texans all
the way, both the Johnson girls
were born in Washington and
have lived in the glare of offi
cial lite.
Both have poise and uninhib
ited natural friendliness. Both
are pretty, and both have their
father's gregarious nature and
their mother's gentleness.
Lives Are Chanced
Their lives were changed rad-
typical teen-age accoulerments.
Taking (lie place of the five
Kennedy dogs in the White
House menagerie were Lucy's
beagle puppies, "Him" and
"Her." Furthermore, Lucy,
who travels with a crowd of
young teenagers, has given the
White House switchboard a long
list of the names of her friends.
Lynda Bird is engaged to En
sign Bernard Rosenbach, 23, of
Comfort, Tex.
There arc reports that Lynda
Bird will be a White House
bride. But her parents want her
to finish college first.
Lynda loves to ride, swim,
dance and bowl. But she also is
a great reader. She is vivacious
and equally at home with
grown-ups and tcenacers.
Lucy is more the domestic"
type and less devoted to school
work than her sister. She is in

tragedy on Nov. 22 when Pres
ident Kennedy was slain. Secret
Service agents moved in emme-
diately to protect Lynda Bird
a sophomore at the university
of Texas in Austin, and Lucy
Baincs, a junior at the National
Cathedral School for Girls here.
Agents are with them con
stantly now.
In the first several days after
their father became President
the girls were besieged by pho
tographers. Lynda called her
mother in Washington to com
plain jokingly that she was
"running out of good clothes"
to wear for the picture taking.
Lucy told her mother she had
to get to school 10 minutes ear
ly to no her posing.
But none of the sudden new
popularity has changed the
girls. They moved into the
White House with their record
