Silent Harpo Marx Speaks First Lines In 25-Year Period NEW HOPE, July 29. (UP)-Harpo Marx, silent partner of the famed Marx brothers comedy team, spoke for the first time in 25 years of acting last night in a summer theatre performance of "The Man Who Came to Dinner," a comedy by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart. Playing a character known as Banjo, the stage counterpart of himself, Harpo answered many a question as to whether he actually possessed a voice or suffered a speech impediment. In a clear normal, voice, his first words were: "I can feel the hot blood pounding through your varicose veins."

Here's one from J.

Mundlin of Route 2, Box 333: "Greetings, we have arrived and have presumably withstood the greatest nervous strain which accompanies applying for a big job in a big city to a big company. May I say that my impression of Boeing Aircraft company is 'just like a big brother', in that many words. All thru the process of signing up we were treated very well and they were very patient with us. I am sure that all of the boys who came up to go to work are going to like Boeing very much. "It seems that some of the boys were not sufficiently impressed with the fact that they needed proof of citizenship.

Two of the boys were temporarily a little discouraged because they didn't have what was required as proof. Another forgot his birth certificate entirely. don't like to see the boys run, into avoidable obstacles and that I am offering this as an open letter to the class if you care to make it available to the boys. "You will hear from me again, Mr. Carruthers, and to the boys, 'We hope to be seeing you at Boeing." From Joe Paulazo of Chiloquin: "I promised to write you about Columbia aircraft, so here I am.

I waited a week so that I would know exactly how stood. I will give you the facts as I see them. "I arrived here Friday, July 11 and had my interview the same day. Went to work the following is 55c per hour plus a 5c Tuesday. The starting wage per hour bonus for working nights.

There are two shifts, 7:00 a. m. to 3:30 and 3:30 to 12:00 p. m. Half hour off for lunch.

40 hours per week and time and a half for overtime of which the day shift has been getting plenty. There are some tools required but they let you buy these at your own discretion. The company just seems to be getting under way in production and if they build a larger plant later on, of which there are some rumors, I think this place offers great opportunities. "The men working here seem to be a swell bunch and I found it easy to "fit in." Living conditions are cheap; I found good board and for $30.00 a month." On May 2 two sheet metal courses were started at the Klamath Union high school in conjunction with the program of the state board for vocational education. The classes are held from 10:00 a.

m. to 4:30 p. m. and from 6:00 p. m.

to midnight Monday to Friday, providing a total of 30 hours of instruction each week. Each class can train 25 students. The training program consists of two hours instruction in mathematics and blue print reading followed four hours of shop work. Students are taught to lay out actual parts as used in airplane construction from the blueprints, to make the jigs, and then cut and rivet the actual piece of work from aluminum sheet metal. The latest tools and machines are provided for this work.

While the original plans called for a 12-week course which would provide about 360 hours of training the heavy demands from the airplane factories have materially reduced this until a student may accept for factory employment with as little as six weeks instruction if his progress has been satisfactory. Several of the earlier enrollees secured employment from the Lockheed company in California but at the present time the demand is from Boeing Aircraft at Seattle and Columbia Aircraft of Portland. The Boeing company now operates three shifts, five days a week and pays time and a half, and in some cases for all overtime. Pay days are every two weeks and the beginning rate for trainees from the vocational school is 62bc per hour, and after six months this is raised to 70c per hour. Definite employment is assured the trainee before leaving here so that he actually has a job upon satisfactorily completing the requirements.

All employees of the company must be citizens and must present to the personnel department acceptable proof of citizenship. All employees must also pass a physical examination, be photographed and fingerprinted. It is hoped by Arnold Gralapp, new principal at KUHS, that additional classes may be provided here in the near future, uarticularly in the field of welding and related machinist trades. Any young men interested in employment with a definite future in the aircraft industry should apply to Jack Almeter, manager, Oregon State Employment service, 242 Main street. There are a few vacancies in the classes at the present time due to several trainees having recently been selected for employment at the Boeing and Columbia factories.

It is also pointed out that the local draft board is permitted to grant deferment from military service to persons ually engaged in defense industries. The two class instructors will be glad to give any additional information and to show interested persons the type of work that is being done by the classes in the rooms located in the basement of the gymnasium at Klamath Union high school. A display of articles made in the class may also be seen in the windows of the First Federal Savings bank at Sixth and Main streets. ELEVENTH FOR BROOKS NEW YORK Curt Davis' four-hit, 7-0 triumph over the Cubs was the eleventh shutout verdict of Brooklyn pitchers this season. It came on the heels of a two-hit white-washing of Chicago the previous day by Kirby Higbe.

The Brooks are on the way to surpassing last year's mark of 17 with which they topped National league staffs. STORM ROUTS 1500 PERSONS AT BIG PICNIC TULELAKE -Rain accompanled by hail that fell Sunday afternoon at Medicine lake, where 1500 folks from northern California and southern Oregon had gathered as guests at the 4th annual Tullake chamber of commerce picnic, arrived too late for the free cramped the style of entertainers who were on the ground for the program. Several speed boat races were run and surf boarders presented some versatile stunts but the audience was forced to take to cars and toher shelter to escape the pelting shower, according to P. C. Bergeman, master of ceremonies.

Several accordian numbers were played by Ronnie Trotman, Mervyne Shuck, Jimmie Shuck and Donald Bowman. Speed boat operators were from Klamath Falls. The caravan that was scheduled to visit historic points in the lava beds failed to materialize and cars traveled singly into the recreation area. Roads to the lake were in excellent shape. U.S.

I also transplanted the beans quite succesfully." There were two photographs of Dorothy Daniels in the letter, a calm, serene faced woman.

They had been taken before Mary Long left England to join her husband in Seattle, but Dorothy couldn't find them when Mary hurriedly left. However, the blitz recovered them, for when she went through the wreckage of 356 she found them, To go on. Poor Miss Haines, the chemist opposite to 356 lost her mother. She was in one of the houses on Winchester road and got buried before they could rescue her. But I expect everything will turn out all right." "Give Bert my love and tell him I never wanted a handy man so much in my life as now, but we have no electricity- only gas, and the flat irons don't go wrong.

"Here's a bit to tell your pals -on Jack's window (Jack is the son of Mary and Gilbert Long and is in the royal air force) I found a pound butter wrapped in a lady's underslip blasted in from somewhere, and a sleeve of Fred's coat hanging on the 'ook in the 'all was blasted through into the larder." A quarter pound of butter, the Longs explained, was somewhat more than a person was supposed to have at one time. "And when you and Bert come home, there is a place here for you both and Jack until we can all get ourselves sorted out and deposited on our own muck heaps again. Vulgar cat?" So the Longs are in Seattle, waiting for the war to end, Gilbert Long doing his duty in maintaining the Fantome as his country wants him, Mary knitting and working in the British war relief. Overseas there is son Jack, and daughter Betty, and her two wee ones. Mrs.
