Courtship, Wedding
Materialize From Ad
Placed in Newspaper
84. JOSEPH. MO—A five-day
courtship and marriage all of
which resulted from a newspaper
wont Ad had Charles Donelson, 21,
marveling At the ,ad>ipulluf power)
and quick results.
"When things .got going, they
realty went,"Tie'said.
Donelson was married to Irene
Krebs, 18. It was a double cere
mony which also united Donelson’s
business partner, Orvllle'Mbrtimore,
20, and Miss Belotfei ttaskey, 19.
Donelson specified Ih Vila ad, run:
on a Tuesday, that he wanted a
bride by Saturday.' ' *He is an ex
soldier and former circlis fire
eater.’
It was fortunate, Dtffielson said,
that love set in so soon after he met
the blue-eyed, brown-haired Miss
Krebs,. when the deadline was so
near.
It Was Mortimore’s 'suggestion
that his roofing-business partner
come along for a dual marriage
ceremony.
Cupid scored a direct hit right
after Donelson arranged a drug
store meeting at soon as the
bride-to-be phoned him.
After that romance had tough
competition from persons Who
took a fancy to the couple in love,
Donelson had the extra prob
lem of dealing with some 306 wife
applicants who took a fancy just
to him. Too late, they learned his
choice was Irene.
Phone calls, photog
raphers’ flash bulbs, and offers of
gifts led the couple through four
hectic days. Donelson lost severi
pounds.
Once, rumblings of commercial
ism tainted the prenuptials. Donel
son threatened to go off to near-by
Troy, Kas., for the dual ceremony,
which was the way he planned it
with Mortimore in the first place.
Sincerity spread to those who
wanted to help out. Cash capne in
for the license, and cars and driv
ers were available on a loan-basis.
A gown for the bride and a suit
for the bridegroom, plus the ring,
wertt given.
Frogs Blitz Two Streets
As Mobilians Puzzled
MOBILE, ALA.—Thousands of
dime-sized, mud-colored frogs,
apparently all hopped up over
aomething, recently blitzed two
streets here and had residents
rubbing their eyes In amaze
ment.
J. M. Ramsey : said he noticed
•' all the frogs seemed 1 * Westward
bound from a nearby'water hole
and he figured they Vere “just*-
migrating.”
Paul English said his duck
flock found the frogs at dawn
and by Sa. m. had eaten so
many they eouldn’t stand up.
“They just sat on the ground
and kept eating every frog that
hopped close enough.”
Where the frogs came from
or why was a mystery.
‘Mum’ Visits in Chicago
To S* Ont of ‘Her’ Boys
CHlCAGO.—Chicago had a dis
tinguished visitor recently—a tiny,
76-year-oid lady from London,
England. Her name is Mrs. Ade
laide Gilbert.
Mrs. Gilbert, known to thousands
of America service men whom she
befriended during the war, was in
Chicago to visit one of “her” boys.
She was the guest of Mr. and Mrs.
Edvin Kodat, whose son, Leßoy,
23, once enjoyed Mrs. Gilbert’s hos
pitality in England during the war.
The tiny, sprightly little woman
opened her house to servicemen.
They 6lept on featherbeds, raided
her icebox and joked with her on
the brief leaves they had before the
invasion.
"Mum” was in the United States
to visit as many of her “boys” as
she can find. They all invited her
to their homes to help repay her
generosity.
Inspiration for her unselfish acts
came from her son, Michael, a pri
vate in the British army, who was
killed.
She remembered and opened her
own home to American lads “be
cause Michael would have wanted
Iha t,”.
Kentucky Man
Is 'lnventor'
For Inventors
CINCINNATI, OHIO.—Way out
in a cornfield near Burlington, Ky.,
lives Frank Sinton Milburn, whose
claim to distinction is that he oper
ates one of the most unusual plants
in all the Middle West, This is true
for many reasons, but probably for
the chief reason that Milburn is
the sole worker in the plant.
The building which houses the
industry has a puzzling collection
of complex tools and machinery,
dies, jigs and other items. It does
practically no manufacturing, this
strange industry—in fact the less
production required, the better Mr.
Milburn likes it.
It is difficult to describe the
operation as a business; it is more
like a profitable hobby.
Milburn likes engineering prob
lems, so he has found his occupa
tion in solving the problems of big
and little people who want help.
Helps Other People
For 15 years now, Milburn hat
been wrestling with other people’s
problems. He has his shop at Bur
lington because he likes the sollr
tude; he sympathizes with folk!
who have to work in downtown Cin
cinnati.
His business, essentially, is to
take on the engineering of ideas oI
embryonic inventors.
His contact media are two-line
classified sds fax such magazines
as Popular Mechanics. These bring
in problems front all aorta of in
ventors. And they are interesting
stories he f eti - .
'““I have been more rat traps and
qombinatiop salt and- pepper shak
ers than anybody in the .world,” he
observed with a broad grin.
About 80 per cent of the inquiries
are of questionable usefulness, but
the other 20 per cent contains use
ful and potentially worth-while
ideas for new products, or improve
ments of existing products.
He was in earnest when he
pondered the sad plight of many
worth-while items or gadgets. The
inventor may hive a practical idea;
Milburn may be. able to engineer
the product satisfactorily for pro
duction; but the inventor generally
is without the medium for bringing
it before the public.
‘Tf we Could put across the Ideas
of these 20 per cent it would make
jobs and generate business,” he
observed.
Needs Many Tools
Hence; the business is principal
ly an engineering one. This requires
a multitude of tools, dies, jigs and
fixtures. But even in this field, the
business is different from the engi
neering firms which function as
service units to large business con
cerns.
Milburn is conscious of the lim
ited resources of the people who
come to him with ideas. So he uses
all sorts of mechanical improviza
tions to hold costs to a minimum.
Yet, all his customers are not
individual inventors. He has done
some rare precision work for
a watch oompany to facilitate that
company’s wartime production of
precision measuring instruments.
He has a rare assortment of watch
makers’ tools and jigs. He did con
siderable engineering and produc
tion on a tiny item that went into
aircraft engines built by Wright
aeronautical corp. And he answers
the call of many manufacturing
companies around the country for
special engineering work.
Boy Catches 3-Pound Ban
With Ban Hands in Paal
CINCINNATI,— If angling were
as easy as this, every fellow could
. . . but the story speaks for it
self:
Buddy Owens, 14-year-old Fort
Thomas youth, has accomplished
something: ithat- many anglers
travel all over the country to do
and often never succeed. Buddy
caught a smaUmouth bass that
weighed more than three pounds
—and he caught it with his bare
hands!.' ..
The youth said he awakened
early and left his home to caddy
at the near-by Highland country
club. Upon passing the Covington
waterworks, which is adjacent to
Alexandria pike in Fort Thomas,
Buddy noticed something splashing
in the water.
After scrambling over the fence.
Buddy saw a large fish swimming
in circles. He waded cautiously into
the water, came upon the fish
from behind and tossed it upon the
bank.
The fish was more than 18 inches
long and weighed more than three
pounds, Mrs. Owens reported. It
was impossible to check the evi
dence, however, since Mrs. Owens
confessed that the family had eaten
the fish for dinner.
The fish probably had come out
of the Ohio river, been sucked up
into the intake pipes and trans
ported to the settling basin of the
waterworks. Whether it had been
brought in when smaller or had
arrived recently was not deter
mined.
At any rate, Owen Owens Jr.,
father of Buddy, said he had fished
in Florida, Michigan and other
good spots and had yet to catch a
smallmouthed bass that large. He
will check the waterworks basin
from now on. he ■?•!.

was centered around the home,

products of various description,
dried farm products, home cured
meat, eggs, grain, hay and many
other products added interest to the
