Juno IS, 1941 Shor t Nursing Opened Course At Bryn Mawr Dearth of Trained Women Felt Here, Red Cross Says By ISABEL CHILDS "Is there a short course in nursing for those who would like to serve in any national emergency?" This question, asked many times recently at Marion county chapter offices . 1 . ! TJ ..... vi uie American neu vruas, waa answered by an announcement j made late last week. , First Red Cross sponsored nurses' training school of the present emergency opens June 23 at Bryn Mawr college in Penn sylvania. In announcing plans for the school, patterned after the highly successful nurses' training camp sponsored by the Red Cross and Vassar college in 1918, Miss Mary Beard, Red Cross nursing service , director, declared r "There is a dearth of trained nurses as a result of the constant ly expanding national defense program.1 ;- That dearth is felt in Marion county according to Miss Ber nice Lee. chairman of the Red Cross nursing committee for the third district of the Oregon - State Norses association. Although to-date . only eight young women, members of the first reserve, that is, unmarried registered nurses able to leave their homes on short notice, have been called into active Red Cross ' service at Pacific northwest army ' posts, a shortage is already no- Marion county, without nurses' training courses, has no natural ; souce of supply, she declared Saturdav. aT . .

Second and third Red Cross re serves, comprised largely of mar ried women ready and willing to serve in a home emergency are not at all oversize for. a county of Marion's population, but the first reserve has been especially small, she maintains. From this county to training ramps and posts' have gone Miss Gall Dudley, Miss Beth Cooney, "Miss Margaret Taylor, Miss Lu cille Ayres, Miss Frances SchwJndt, Miss Miriam Doug las, Miss Ethel LIvesley and Miss Elizabeth Tower. The short "course, offered at Bryn Mawr, for which no regis trations have been made in Mar ion county, is to run from June 23 to September 13, with a tuition charge of $100. The college is contributing the use of its campus, while the Red Cross is paying op erating expenses. Registrants must be college graduates. For three months they will receive intensive work irf the theoretical side of nursing with some preliminary instruction In the practical side. In the fall they will be sent to a selected group of nursing schools. National preparedness, so far as the Red Cross is concerned, does not stop with providing care for armed forces of the country.

To the left lay the farm buildings, the first of which was built three-quarters of a cent ury ago. Back of me, I knew, lay one of Oregon's finest wal nut groves. , Between the farm house and me was a chicken coop where I had just viewed 250 very healthy White Leghorn chicks. To the right were fields of green stretching out toward the Abiqua highway which in early days had run right in front of the buildings but which now, much to the delight of the farm owners, was fully a quarter of a mile away. Marquam was a couple of miles to the west, and Silverton only a little farther away. Directly in front of me stood "Fink" and close at my side was Fink's owner, Miss Kreta Albright, the great granddaugh ter of Pioneer Burbage, who in 1845, first acquired part of the present farm. It was in 1857 that Grandfather Dan Albright ' bought the farm and since then i Albrights have owned and lived on it, with the A. W. Albrights now In possession.

' Locally, home nursing courses are being organized, definitely de signed to prepare homemakers to give every assistance possible to nurses and doctors. As many such courses as possible will be offered in Salem and smaller Marion county communities, she declared, In England, Mrs. Bynon de clares, one of the most valuable fields of knowledge has proved to be first aid. The Red Cross, for years active in offering first aid to plain citizens, has records in dicating that almost innumerable lives have been saved by services made possible because of the training thus given. Industrial plants in many areas, while providing medical and nur sing service, are accustomed to putting at least one first aid trained person in each working unit : now, witn a nations eyes turned toward the problem of saving life and energies, the first aid program in Marion county is ready to expand considerably. - For the first time the local chapter continues to offer first aid classes through the sum' mer.

I This is another of a series of "motor- . 1 logs" describing journeys to inter esting places of the Northwest, made by writers of the Oregonian in co operation with the Oregon State Motor association, and made avail able to The Statesman. By RICHARD L. NEU'BERGER When the American people think of the Pacific northwest they think of a place like Spirit lake a place with a great frosty mountain, blue water and steep evergreen hills. No trav eler who goes there is ever dis- . appointed. With its panorama of water, peak and sky, it sat isfies all ideas of what the northwest should be. Spirit lake has appeared in more railroad booklets, tourist folders and calendar covers than any other Pacific north- , west scene. It has practically become a symbol of the region. Today you can drive to Spirit .. lake and see the spectacle in reality almost as easily as you look at it on the calendar which hangs above the kitchen stove, A 67-mile drive north on U. S. 89 to the Washington town of Castle Rock is followed by a 46 mile journey up to the lake on a Washington state road. Trip Once Difficult Once upon a time the journey to Spirit lake was a far more difficult and hazardous under taking. At one time the road to Spirit lake would have worn down the constitution of a Rocky moun tain goat. After traveling over , it you were qualified for mem bership in the foreign legion or the Canadian mounted.

That responsibility has put the industry solidly behind Ore gon's new forest practice law, which was developed by tim ber operators. 'Recent additions to the indus try's staff of forest engineers will be supplemented as more work is required by operators, in coordin ating their individual operating programs with the general pro gram of the industry and with the forest practice laws. The Keep Oregon Green cam paign to arouse public conscious ness of the menace of forest fires. which was launched by the for est industries, has become a coop erative program with the state forestry department. Gov. Charles A. Sprague has designated June 30 to July 6 as 'Keep Oregon Green" week. 'The 1941 program requires Increased personnel by the West Coast Lumbermen's asso ciation and the Pacific North west Loggers association, and additional expenditures and use of man-power by individual operators. "Oregon's lumbermen have shown their willingness to ad vance in forest conservation. The great risk they face is the man- caused forest fire. This cannot be eliminated by the national gov ernment or the state government or by the forest-using industries. The man-caused fire is the re sponsibility of all the people of Oregon. "We believe the record shows that industry is meeting its re sponsibilities in forest conserva tion.. We of the industry join with the state forester and other state and national officials in aoDeal ing to the general public to do its part to: "Keep Oregon Green." Did You See Rose Show? Miss Madsen Did V ' By LILLIE L. MADSEN . A number of you, I hope were able to get to the PortlandRose show during the past week. And those of your who were, I . hope also made a trip up to the Portland bureau of parks rose garden in Wa shington park. Here you see all of the new roses as well as many of the old ones, blooming in the same kind of condition that they would grow in your own garden. The air mail show at the Port land auditorium was marvelous this year. I overheard one visitor remark that the air show didn't offer anything for the general public as few ever wanted to send roses by airman. But I do think one thing at least can be gained from this part of the rose show: The keeping quality of roses. One couidn i out .notice now very well the red Better Times and the pale yellow Joanna Hill did keep. At least 50 per cent of the air mail roses were Better Times One of the finest divisions of the entire show was the display by the Portland bureau of parks. Some of the new test roses, bearing only numbers at the show, give promise for some very nice new roses en the market in a year or two. Two which have come oat of the test roses In recent years were the deep red M. S. Her shey and the creamy-pink Cos sy. The latter somewhat resem bles the Hoover in coloring but. is much more, graceful in bud. You will have noticed that the McGredy's Ivory, with its long buds, took the grand sweepstakes in the open division and that the Lord Charlemont, a bright red rose was the runner-up. Neither of these Is strictly new, but both are very satisfactory in any gar den. Mrs. Sam McGredy, a fairly large double bloom of orange salmon, took both prizes in the 4H division. These four roses were of course judged on, perfec tion of individual bloom and also foliage, but it was interesting to stand Toy and hear the comments of the visitors as they passed the various divisions of roses. The single: pink Dainty Bess with its red-stamens, certainly attracted the ; attention of all rose Show goers. The' Texas Centennial, a sport of President Hoover, also proved popular. It held up re markably well. The single, bright red Karen Paulson, the semi dou ble Donald Prior, also red, the single Irish Fireflame and the Improved ( Lafayette were all favorites in their divisions. In all the show, the Countess Vandal, the clear pink, and the very red Crimson Glory, were outstanding to me, as they are in my own garden. Eternal Youth, which is a lovely shade of deli cate pink, did not show up as well at the display as I have seen t do in gardens. Lulu and Mary Hart were both perfect at the show, but Eclipse, like Eternal Youth, has done better in many gardens than jn those from which the roses for the show were chosen. Sterling was better at the show than I have seen else where. I have been watchlnr the Sterling in the gardens and In most cases It grows too big a bud, and slightly clumsy. But the bads on display at the show were very lovely. Perhaps most of us fertilize this rose more than is good for the production of the most graceful buds. Pink Rapture was another bud which was better at the show than I have seen it in gardens. Angeles Pernet was net as , good at the show as I have seen In the garden of my neighbors and the same could be said of Betty UprichardV But Ami Quinard. which is almost 15 years old, certainly made a good showing. General McArthur, a bright red rose, very sweetly scented, Mme. Henri Cuillot, a two-tone rose of deep water-melon pink and reddish orange, the very red Christopher Stone and the apricot DuQuesa De Penaranda were among the fav orites. ! Some of the rose growers stood about the tables "discussing soil for roses and what this or that soil would do for certain vari eties. A too heavy soil, spoiled the grace of Imperial Potentate. A too loose soil took the color from Julien Potin. A soil too scarce in potash made K of .K hang its head, and Madam But terfly often lost its beauty be cause it was not disbudded. .

Mountain loop would begin and we would have to get out and stride over ruts apd wade in mud ankle -deep. Suddenly Mount St. Helens towered above us like a' monstrous dish of vanilla Ice cream. Through the trees we could see a swath of blue water. Where were we? Then all at once it. dawned upon us that we were at Spirit lake, that the Green Mountain stretch was no more and that it is an easy drive to this pic- SPIRIT JLAKS MT.ST.

The lake is in the Columbia national forest, on the north side of Mount St Helens. With in five miles of the water's edge, timberline on the mountain straggles out into great slopes of ice and pummice. When the lake is limpid and smooth the vast peak is reflected in its surface. , Timberline Road Built ' A road built by the United States forest service stretches from the lake to Timberline. Snowdrifts v compelled us to walk the final mile, but by the time this motorlog appears the timberline road, according to Forest Guard Samuelson, will be accessible all the way. The road is narrow and winding, yet it is safe and can be negotiated in second gear. Trees guard the precipitous drops. No trav eler will get dizzy. There is plenty to do at Spirit lake, besides look at the mag nificent scenery. Fishing Is fair. boating and swimming are good . Once in a while wind off the mountain's stern slopes kicks the lake into a miniature Eng lish channel. Then rowboats and outboard motors receive an extra thrill, as waves break across the bow and - spank against the planking. Trout live in the lake, but fishing is better in the whit -fleeced Toutl river, which forms the outlet. Most anglers try the Toutlr rather than Spirit lake itself. Turner News TURNER J. A.
