PORTLAND, June 26. W) The sandwich-short Pacific Coast might like a hint from a group of Portland society leaders who haven l even been ruined Dy the bakery strike. They ve been baking their own bread all the time. "It's much easier than making cake," report the fashionable dowagers and matrons and young junior leaguers who have taken up breadmaking here the last few years, "and infinitely more satisfying." Out in Dunthorpe, Portland s ul tra-fashionable suburb, more than half the women bake their own bread as routinely as they brush their teeth. They say it tastes better, provides more nutrition, and gives them a wonderful home- making glow. Portland Society Leaders Bake Bread During Strike Hardboard Plant Slated Next, Year Near Hood River HOOD RIVER W) A $2,000,000 hardboard Dlant will be in opera- .i. jr , i.. . : lion suuia ui nere euny iicai utilizing wood wastes. The plant, on which preliminary construction will start next week, will be built for the Oregon Lum ber company at Dee, eight miles south of here. Blaw-Knox Con struction company of Pittsburgh, Pa., has the building contract and will participate in the plant's operation. This announcement was made here by Jack Eccles, vice-presi dent of the Oregon Lumber Co., and Jim Wirrick, general manager. The plant is expected to operate on four shifts around the clock, utilizing mill ends, bark and other wastes of the mill and logging processes. The trade name of the new board has not been made pub lic. It is described as being hard, but through use of bark it has in sulating value. Some 75 men will be employed. The plant will be in a concrete' building 400 feet long. Power will come from the new steam gener ating plant at the existing mill the largest mill in the county, A federal timber unit for sus tained yield cutting has been asked for this area. If established, it would assure the plant enough wood wastes for continual opera tion, R. E. Steele, chamber of commerce secretary, reported. Mrs. David Eyre, wife of the Oregon Journal assistant managing editor and a junior league mem ber, wrote a magazine article about Portland's bread - making fashion recently. "You can't make a bad loaf of bread," she reported. "My first bumpy, sagging loaves looked like three middle-aged matrons who'd lost their corsets. But the toast was so delirious that breakfast had a new lilt." The fashion has grown so that there's not a bread-mixer left in Portland second-hand stores. "La dies up in the heights, they bought 'em all up," reported a junk man. "Nope, dunno where you can get one factories don't make 'em any more." Mrs. Mortimer Hartwell, one of the leading bread-baking expon ents, contends that homemade bread can compete with Martinis as a male drawing card. "I can't afford cocktail parties," she said, "so I concentrate on bread. I entertain with a terrifi cally good soup and great wicker trays filled with dark bread and all the men go about licking their chops and drooling." It was Mrs. Hartwell, a prom inent Portlander who's made her own bread for more than a quarter-century, who helped popularize bread-baking in fashionable circles hers. "During the depression we had absolutely no money," she said. "But at least we had good bread. Everybody ate bread all the time. Every time they walked through the kitchen they tore off a hunk." Friends started clamoring for her recipe. "It began to catch," she r e counted. "I don't know what It is about bread-making, but once it starts, it just grows, like yeast. I think it's the last creative urge left." During the war the bread-making style spread wider. She raised money for the Red Cross with bread-making classes. She's dem strated for church benefits, taught Girl Scouts, given lessons to brides. All her friends bake their bread. Acquaintances ask for i n structions. Mrs. Hartwell uses a bread mixer, an instrument something like a churn -and one-time house hold staple which, with the advent of mass baking, has disappeared from the market.

UP) - Leading lines of business and industry forged ahead to the highest levels of the year or longer last week. Steel, autos and buildings the dynamic leaders of the current boom again were spectacular per formers. And joining them were several types of business which had shown backward tendencies most of the time since the upswing got underway early in the spring. All told, plus signs dominated the business chart by better than two to one. Automobile output -as at a new all-time high, freight carloadings the highest in more than a year, electric power output the best since mid-March, crude oil production the largest in 15 months, bank clearings the highest since the big turnover last Christmas and there was a sudden expansion of busi ness loans by banks that carried the total above that of a vpar ago for the first time. Steel pro duction was above theoretical ca pacity for the tenth week. Home building continued its record-making pace despite uneasiness over rising prices. In addition, there were numer ous supporting elements including: Retai. trade volume ahead of both last week and a year ago; house furnishing especially active and the big furniture show at Chi cago reporting excellent prospects ahead. Dividends declaring cheered mil lions of stockholders, with larger payments from such big fellows as Chrysler, General Foods and loungstown Sheet an outstanding feature. The stock market had problems, but the main trend was higher. Approximately a half billion dol lars was added to the quoted value of listed shares in the five trad ing days. Daily turnover was in excess of a million shares. It was a good week in bonds. Upwards of $150,000,000 of new securities found ready takers. The week was not without its drawbacks for business. Labor problems 1 were more numerous than in any period since the Chrysler strike ended early in May. Disputes between manage ment and unions drew blood in one case that of American Enka Corp. i luiimiuwii, ienn.

Majority Vets Are Assisted By G. I. Bill The G.I. Bill, passed six years ago on June 22, 1944, has pro vided assistance to most of the nation's million World War II vet erans through its three major ben efits, the Veterans Administration reports. These benefits are education and training at government expense, government guaranteed and insured loans, and readjustment allowances to help tide veterans over periods of unemployment or slack self-employment. Here's the record of the G. I. Bill for the past six years, as disclosed bv the VA: Some seven million ex-servicemen and women have attended school or trained on-the-job or on-the-farm under the law's education provisions. The program has cost more man len DUlion dollars in tuition, supplies and subsistence allowances. Only four percent of all veterans have exhausted their eligibility for training. Under the law, they must start their courses by July 25 1951, if they want to continue after that date. Final cut-off for most veterans comes July 25, 1956. l?re, than eleven billion dollars in G. I. loans have been obtained ujr c.iuu.utw. wono war II veter ans. Ninety-two percent of the veterans' loans were for the pur chase of homes. Veterans have been such good loan risks, the VA says, that only seven tenth of one percent were defaulted to the extent that the VA had to make good the guaranteed and insured portions of the loans. The G.I. loan program has another seven years to go, ending for the 1957 veterans on July 25, Readjustment allowances for unemployment and self-emnloy. ment ended for most veteran's on July 25, 1949, although a few ap plications are being received fi"m veterans who are still eligible. Dur ing the six years of the G. I. bill about nine million veterans drew readjustment allowances that total nearly four billion dollars. The VA said the average veteran found a job after being on the readjustment allowance rolls for Detective's Wife Turns Sleuth; Sues For Divorce MIAMI, Fla., June 26. UP) Mrs. Ida F.

She said in her complaint that she was in a state of amnesia be fore and during the wedding, and that she left her husband as soon as the amnesia passed.

I "VILLAGE" SMALLER ! OAK PARK, 111., June 26.-WPI ; The biggest village in the nation isn't as big as it used to be.

Oak Park is the largest commun- j it y using the village form of gov ernment. I London Mirror Stirs Kilted Scots LONDON. (P) The London Daily Mirror last week published a picture of a young Scotsman los ing his kilt while dancing a reel. He was wearing a pair of brief, dark-colored shorts underneath. The caption: "Now You Know." But that answer to the age-old question: "What does a Scottish Highlander wear under his kilt?" was insulting to many Scots. It brought the Mirror a lot of indig nant letters, including one which said in tones of authority: "A Scots soldier would as soon be seen wearing a howler hat with his kilt as wear anything under it." Another wrote: "I served in the Cameron High landers during the war for six years and it was a serious offense for anyone to be found wearing anything under the kilt. We were not allowed to go on the top deck of a bus or tram."- Anotner explained that "in some barracks men on pass have the kilt lifted by a non commissioned officer. In others they walk over a mirror." When dancing, the, correspond ents conceded-, the men may wear shorts. But D. B. McNicoll, former master tailor of the famous Black Watch regiment, laid down the rule: "No Scots soldier wears anything under his kilt in battle, while on duty, or walking out."
