Again I See
(Continued from Fai/c Two)
The files of the Eugene City
Guard and the Oregon Journal of
1876-77 bring vividly to mind the
terrors of the small pox panic
which • seized the town, the sum
mer before the opening of the Uni
versity, and continued into the fall.
The steamer “John F. Stephens’’
had brought to Portland a China
man who subsequently was pro-1
nounced a small pox victim, and a
fellow passenger, engaged as a
farm hand west of town, later de
veloped .the malady. Still later
When Mr. W. H. Abrams, living on
East Broadway fell ill, the attend
ihg physician diagnosed it as var
ioloid and so officially reported it.
But the Town Council, in response
to public demand, engaged Dr. A.
W. Patterson to investigate, who
pronounced it as an unquestioned
case of small pox. The yellow flag
was at once displayed.
I have a hazy memory of a
whole family west of town being
wip’ed out. A suspicious Chinaman
was detected, skulking about town
and adding tremendously to the
panic. A man was quarantined in
what was popularly called ‘'the
pest house" on the slope of Col
lege Hill south of town. How well
1 recall that haunted shack, so
lonely in a big field, shunned by
all as we would a lazar-house!
And what a relief it was to all of
us youngsters when it was burned
to demonstrate the effectiveness
of a Chemical Fire Engine in
which our City of Eugene had just
invested!
And all this was happening just
at the opening of the University,
the excitment about Mr. Abrams
occurring only the day before ma- 1

Demonstration Given
Before Food Classes
A demonstration of the uses of
evaporated milk was given by
Miss Millicent Atkins, member of
the educational staff of the Evap
orated Milk association, before the

from 2 until 5 p. m.
Miss Atkins prepared various
food products before the class,
showing the use of evaporated

triculation. Eugene papers made
every effort to stifle any too great
publicity, the Guard in particular
rapping another paper soundly for
spreading unwarranted news. Un
questionably it affected the enroll
ment at the University, and it cer
tainly did the morale of the stu
dents. It is a wonder the institu
tion kept an even course under
such stress, for other enterprises,
both public and private, were tem
porarily suspended.
An interesting side light is
thrown upon the picture by an
item appearing in both papers of
Oct. 21, 1878, to the effect that
“Miss Ina Condon’s school in the
Episcopal Church school house will
reopen the 23rd.” It had been
closed on account of the small pox
panic. Ina Condon was eldest
daughter of Dr. Thos. Condon of
the Faculty, only recently arrived
in Eugene, later to become the
wife of Robert S. Bean of the

President of the Board of Re

It was on the Oregon campus that
he met Ruth Austin, a journalism
student, who was to become his
wife.
Most vividly he remembers the
fuss that was created when he and
a few other scholars who had en
listed in the war, undertook the
task that has occupied the atten

—that of abolishing military train

from cowards to communists,”

New York World at the time and

for our cause. And the funniest
thing was that nobody at the Uni

this stuff. Finally we were given
the choice of surrender or expul

that time."

*Gold Diggers’ Fail to Dazzle
In Current 'Airfloiv9 Edition
(Critic Contends Spectacle
Idea Is Outworn
By Cynthia Liljeqvist
Busby Berkeley fallaciously be
lieved he could capitalize on the
success of “G. D. of 1933' when
he christened his "airflow” danc
ing revue "G. D. of 1935.” He for
got that two years ago the spec
tacle idea was an innovation and
that today, outworn, misused, it is
outward bound toward a well
earned rest.
, Gold Diggers of 1935 has with
out effort earned the reputation of
finest "horror” film of the new
year. It possess all the alarming
elements of a nightmare, including
the sensation of trying its best to
get somewhere with its legs bound.
Guests Spoil Fun
The show opens gayly with the
lilting tempo of a Chevalier-in
Paris sequence, but then the guests
arrive and spoil the fun of seeing
a mock March of Time study of
hotel practices. While we are still
in a good humor we'll mention the
other masticatable scene—Shop
ping with Baby it allowed us the
illusion that Gloria Stuart might
be able to do something about it.
Generally speaking the show is
as widely diverse and jumbled as
a notion bargain counter with a
leader, Broadway Baby tune, to
justify the rest.
Cost Draws Comment
A dvertised as the mystery me
chanical wonder of the year, the
piano revue left us with the usual
conditioned response—“what an
expense" — until we discovered
what made the pianos go.
Ev themselves, some of the act
ors fulfill the requirements of mu
> icomedy. but thrown together in
a crazy patch-work fashion, they
assumed exaggerated gestures,
and an almost hysterical, steam
heated fashion of blurting lines.
We are speaking of Brady, an old
favorite and Menjou, the man
v/ith the 80 suits but only one per
sonality.
Before Dorothy Dare goes noble
again we would like to remind her
how she got where she is today,
(a dubious position at the most,)
by playing witless, know-it-all, col
lege flirts. We could excuse her
for that . . .
Warner Bros, should do a west
thunder, stampeding requisites—
down pat. W’itness the gargan
tuan dancing flop. Our ears are
still ringing. Even the "airflow”
Dixie belles with their high school
album smiles left us with a long
ing for something like sea air.
B. B. Says Goodbye
The only dramatic incident in
the show was the exodus of the
Broadway Babe out the window—
but unfortunately she forgot to
take cotton-candy Powell, and
static-visaged Stuart along with
her.
P.S. If your movie blurbist dis
appears some fine day, you’ll know
that irate movie managers finally
got her.
