Bridge use increases
Portland's Willamette Riv­
er bralges ca rry an average
of 52,000 more cars a day than
tliey did five years ago, City
Com m laslonei Lloyd A iu le r-
son reported today.
But the 15 percent increase
In dally c ro s s -riv e r tra ffic
waa more than absorbed by
tie m in ju m Bridge, which
was o fe n n l in late 1966. Ihe
m ulti-lane Interstate 5 Bridge
Carries 84,068 of the total of
365,458 cars a day.
In fact, Attlerson said, die
tra ffic 1. ng meeting Bureau's
Counts show two of the bridges
are cm rying fewer cars Ilian
five years ago. Hie Broadway,
with a dally average of 39,515
cars, la d«nw mote than6,000
ani I tie Hawthorne, at 29,764
la off almost 6,000.
Second busiest bridge, as
many m otorists can testify, is
tie Ross Island which ca rrie s
a dally average of 48,041, up
5,500. Also rating among the
busiest is (lie rwo-lane Sell­
wood which at 21,534, Is
carrying 6,000 mote cars a
day titan five years ago.
Relief for tlie congested
Marquam Bridge w ill come
with the opening of die new
Premont Bridge next year.
Construction of die M t. Hood

tlie txisy Ross Island Bi klge,
Anderson noted. Reduction of

This quotation from an old
proverb so aptly expresses
what the following article
says.
" M r , M r , " tie g irl called
after the insn as he limped
away with his head down.
" M r , " again she called,
" M r s . jones would like to talk

H ie man turned and limped

"W on’ t you have a seat
s ir? ”
M rs. Jones asked,
pointing to a chair. The man
sat down with his cane between
his knees.
"W hat’ s your name s ir? "
came the crisp pleasant voice
of tlie Interviewer. The man
gave his name and address.
Then M rs. Jones asked In the
same crisp efficient voice,
"W hat Is your problem, s ir? "
"W e ll ma’ am, I need some
clothing."
"You mean that’ s all the
clothing you have?"
"O h no,” spoke tie man
nervously, "1 have a change or
something like that."
"D o you have a top coat?"
"Oh yes.”
" T ie n , as I see it, your pro­
blem Is not exactly one of

"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."

By this time tie interviewer
was beginning to get a very
negative picture of her client.
As she looked at him, she
thuight, he appears to be
healthy - le hasn't beendrink-
ing. Well, she thought, might
as well find out once and for
a ll. So In that sane crisp very
efficient manner, she asked,
"How long has It been, s ir.
since you worked?"
"W e ll, since 1 hsd the acci­
dent.”
"U n huh and when was
that?*’
" In 1965.”
"W ouldn't you like to get a
Job o r something?’ ’
"W e ll, if 1 could find some­
thing 1 could d o ."
"W hat do you mean - that
you can do7 W le t kind of ac­
cident was It? " M rs. Jones
was showing some signs of Im­
patience again.
" W e ll-e r uh, you see ltwas
on the railroad.”
"Oh! you worked on tie ra il­
road?”
“ No, I was trying to get on a
tr a in .”
"Y ou mean hop a freight?”
"Y e s .”
The Interviewer then looked
at the tear In the man’ s right
trouser leg, "You lost «leg In
the accident?"
"N o Ma'am, 1 lost two
le g s."
M rs . Jones looked at the
tear In the trouser leg which
extended from the knee to the
cuff. Yes, she could see fo r
sure that the leg was cork.

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.
