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 ■?•!. * PERSONALS ! a * Visiting Mr. and Mrs. Curtis Potts over the week-end were Mr. and Mrs. Earl Lawson of Union, S.
