But . we've been wonderina all fall ;
(since the last rain of course) -what the visit
ing, delegates fat. Camp Adair, the Fair-,
grounds and the airport think of , Oregon
weather now. Seems to us, alihdugh we may
be prejudiced, that there iust couldn't be any
nicer place than Oregon in autumn, i
Bang, bang, bang. V . Ralph Dobbs
must have nerves of steel, for although the
heating pipes in Waller hall thumped out a
noisy accompaniment to his first piano num
ber, on Monday night, you'd think he didn't
hear it at all. Fortunately, the noise stopped
in a little while and the listeners could thor
oughly enjoy; the recital. We can't help1. but'
recall the time Sousa's band came J to the
armory and actually drowned out the bang-
ing of the pipes. . ; -.. f f. :" j i '-irjj
: And then we also remember the time
t- that Alma Gluck sang in the armory and
i repeatedly- broke into hysterical laughter
because eevrytime she would start to sing,
.' a board in the floor would squeak. , i
j Remain calmly. .. as. we listened to
; the youthful voice at the high school qdmon
'1 ish as to remain calmly in our seats in case
! of an cdr redd, we wondered if the owner of
me voice wouldn't be too excited to give in
j structions in case we did have an cdr redd.
. Our thoughts soured, arid we imagined
hearing that same speech all the rest of bur
lives, because the western defense com
i xnand forgot to turn it off at the end of the
r war. " :-l J " ' T
Reserves a medal . . . one of the great
unsung heroes of the war is the brave man
who put the top of the' piano down during
the dance recital of Eleanor King on Tues
day, We don't like to appear fussy, but that
piano lid entirely hid the stage, and it; was
a funny feeling to merely catch an occas
ional view of the dancer's head, with nev
er a glimpse of her feet r ; 4
: Out of the mouths." . The cutest story
of the week was told by Mrs. George Allen '
on herself. She was visiting her son j and
family and her. daughter-in-law's parents
and other members of the. family in .Ken
tucky. She was asked to sing a selection
that she, had sung at the wedding of 1 the
daughter-in-law's parents years "ago. ; As
she swung along in ; the sentimental num-'
ber, she approached the climrrr.- and knew
that she' was prepared to do a very good
Job of it even though it had been years
since she had sung before such a large
group. As she. watched the interested faces
of the adults and children, and just as she
drew a deep breath for the song's climax,
out came her vivacious two-year-old grand
daughter, who stalled In front of the singer
and raising ' an imaginary machine I gun,
broke into the familiar ''akakakak''- Some
one in the family group completed the
breakdown of the occasion by saying,
"Don't shoot at her, she's' doing the best
she can"!
