"M yths are the greatest obstacles in stewardess re cru itm e n t," says Alice and this Is true with m inority recruitment too. "Everyone would like to think that this type of work is a pushover." Well, being a stewardess Is hard work, but It la very rewarding to a person who likes to meet people and who likes to travel. These are the two most Important quali fications fo r a stewardess ap p lica n t," she said. The other qualifications which applicants must meet are minimum age of 20; height of 5’ 3” to 5’ 10"; weight from 105 to 145 pounds and a high school diploma. A lice, who has traveled everywhere in the world ex cept to the F ar East, claims that many serious m inority applicants sometime question If there is any value to their community in being a stewar dess. To this she usually answers that one of the best values Is presenting a good image and destroying stereo typed ideas. "A s fo r myself, 1 think that the Job is per sonally broadening and helps one gain greater insight into other people."

DECEMBER 19. 1971 (both stores) TREE- MENDOUS Forestry center featu res Christm as 801 SW BROADW AY ¡DEAS Clothes for men T h irty -s ix different natural Christmas trees, of varying species and with different styles of decoration, are on display at the W esternFores- try Center on Canyon Road fo r the duration of the 1971 holiday season. The trees were supplied by the Northwest Tree Growers Association and were de corated by members of the Willamette A rrangers' Guild. "T h e Guild has used a great deal of ingenuity and a rtistic talent in decorating the tre e s,” according to Ernest L . Kolbe, Forestry Center d ire c to r. "And, of course,’ he added, "th e arrangers had only the best oí the cultured and natural tiees with which to w ork.” The display brought from the Center’ s Talking Tree some pointers on care and preservation of Christmas trees, according to Kolhe. “ If you want to keep your natural cut Christmas tree fo r a longer period during the holidays, the most impor tant rule is to keep the base of the tree immersed in water before and during its display in the home," advised the Talking Tree. Water, drawn up through the tree trunk, w ill prevent needles from drying and dropping. The firs t thing to do is to cut an inch or more off the butt of the tree, before the tree Is brought inside and put on its stand. This cut re moves a section of the trunk that could he clotted by resins that would block water ab- sorbtion. A Christmas tree may “ drink anywhere from a pint to a (tallón of water each day, depending upon Its size and condition. Fherefoie, water In the stand re servoir should be checked dally to maintain the tree's freshness and woodsy aroma. The Talking Tree also ad vises that natural Christmas trees be kept away from heat sources, such as furnace out lets, high wattage light bulbs and television sets. The lights should he turned off at bed tim e and when the fam ily is away. Western Foiestry Center Is open 10 a.m, lo 5 P»1” » Wed. thru Sun.
