Doing Pretty Good So Far BOATING ON THE UMPQUA i 'i By Charles V- Stanton Several tales of canoe trips down the Umpqua river have been broueht to lisrht as the result of publicity attending: the recent exploit by a group of Roseburg- Explorer Scouts who traveled from The Forks to Reedsport. Guy Gordon, now serving as U.S. senator from Oregon, is one who was not as successful as some of the other ad venturers, but who could tell of many experiences on a canoe trip down the river, including a night's rest in a hog pen. It seems that along in the early 1900's Guy was paying court to Miss Allen a courtship which was successful, as she later became Mrs. Cordon. It was the custom of her family to spend the summers in their beach cottage at New port, which in those days was one of the most popular sum mer resorts In Oregon. Cordon and Earl Strong, who now resides at Rice Jlill, decided they would travel down the Umpqua to tidewater and then hike up the coast to visit the Allen family. Fail At Last Hurdle The canoe went smoothly until the adventurers reached Sawyer rapids, the last piece of fast water above tidewater. There the canoe capsized and was battered to pieces. The two young men rescued their packs and set out on foot. The first night they stopped at the ranch home of John Shadle, who, perhaps a little suspicious because of their unkempt and oedragglcd appearance, afforded them no beds inside the house, but permitted them to sleep on a pile of hay in the hog pen. So a future U.S. senator and ,his companion spent the night with the hogs. ""They. tramped on up the coast, following the beach ' wherever possible, and Guy continued his courtship at the beautiful Newport beach. River Trip To Be Popular The canoe trip recently made to Reedsport probably will be accepted in coming years as an event which led to establishment of a new recreational industry. For several years experienced boatmen and guides 1 have been taking parties on the exciting trip down the Rogue river from Grants Pass to tidewater. It is such a thrilling ride that reservations usually must be made many months in advance. Guides are kept busy throughout the entire season. J. he Umpqua river offers equal possibilities. It is perhaps a little more dangerous than the Rogue and would require a few more portages. An experienced boatman, with the right kind of equipment, vill come along some day, however, and set up a thriving recreational business. Because of the danger involved, it should be determined that those engaging in boat trips down the river for hire demonstrate their ability before being granted guide li censes and permission to take parties on tho exciting trip. However, it has been proven on several occasions that tho river can be navigated by canoe and skiff. Eventually someone will capitalize on the recreational possibility. It may be that the publicity attending the adventure by Rose burg's explorer scouts, will be the event from which the commercial enterprize gains its inspiration. By Viahiutt S. Varttn 11 For years the Cs have been plan ning a trip lo Europe. They en Untied passage a year ahead on the Queen Elizabeth, and for their re turn, the Queen Mary, or wax it the other way around? They want ed so mueh to travel on those famous ships! At the time for the takeoff to New York by plane, the l's received word that the Queens would not be available "reserved for carrying troops." Of all the straws in the wind that struck me as the most indica tive! There was no rumor about that niece of preparedness. There had been other 'straws' too. but somehow reading those words in a letter . . . well, 1 went to the woods until I could find my peace. One who knew annul such things told me once that the Hiblc verse "For my yoke .is easy and my burden lii'.hl" referred to the fact that a well-adjusted yoke made the carrying of the burden so much easier; that the important thing was to sec that the yoke fitted the shoulders like the pack fitting, I suppose, the way the Scouts are taught to adjust it. So if there should he a war ahead, tne im portant thing for us stay-at-homes is to make sure that our "yoke," our daily thinking, is of such a character that we shall be able to go through our days with faith and confidence. I must admit my "yoke" wasn't fitting at all well the day I read that tho Queens were reserved for troops ... so I went to the woods a while and found there what I always find there, lsnt it a fact that trees have a universal lan guage? Without doubt mothers all over the world are loving trees as I love them. If I were to lay my hand lovingly on the trunk, as I have seen my dear dad do so many times, and look up at a beautiful tree, or a tiny tree just set out for perhaps others lo en jt.y, it would need no words to 'speak' my thought to that other lover of trees. The day will come when we shall all speak a common tongue just as now we share love (or beautiful things. Ann: we shall be no more con cerned with '.he precise wav in which we shall worship the Giver of all t.oort: "tor the earth shall tv , filled with the knowledge of the i glory o( the Lord, as the waters I cover the sea."

M Russians Barred From U.S. Estate Inheritance SANTA MONICA, Calif. A superior court judge, Orlando H. Rhodes, has denied the petition of six residents of Russia to qualify as heirs in the $125,000 estate of a local pawnbroker, holding that no reciprocal inheritance rights exist between this country and the Soviet union. Under the California probate code, no foreign citizen may in herit unless U.S. citizens have simi lar rights in that country. Charles Kalz, attorney for the Russians, claimed the reciprocal rights were established in a con ference between thj late President Roosevelt and Soviet Foreign Min ister Litvinoff. The estate is that of Arthur B. Weinstein, who died here June 10, 1947. Katz said the petitioners in clude a brother, three sisters and two nieces of Weinstein. 'NEA Telephofi PREPARE FOR ACTION D.

Our demand for more living space in a small area was answered by Modern Architecture which in turn led to the design of Modern Furniture with its elegant sim plicity of form and line. Design ers have kept pace with scien tists who are forever peeking over tomorrow's shoulder to con trive to give us more luxury than we've ever known before.
