The place wa;
the very; Attrac
tive home of Mr.
and Mrs. Lewis Little Madsen
Jadson. The group was the Men's
Garden club of Salem. The time
was the July meeting, and the oc
casion (of my being there) was
guest night for women.
" It was shortly after we arrived,
.'while' sitting on the terrace, look
ing out over the city, way of f over
prairies and hills to ML Jeff er-i-n
and Mi. Hood, that we heard
Carroll P. McDonald giving out
casual-like bits of information on
wild flowers, wild flowers not on
ly of Oregon, but of many other
states as well. Hepatica, said Mr,
McDonald, , are both the main
course ; ana dessert for : garden
" slugs and earwigs." To grow them,
one shoul bait heavily. The little
native pink gentian is a ' rather
nice rock garden plant, but it goes
to sleep i with twilight The blue
brodiaea, known as "one of the
harvest lilies, is exceptionally at
tractive, and hot too plentiful any
longer in the ' Willamette valey.
Mr: McDonald told of the many
different . varieties of trillium
which he had in his own garden
(mental note No. 1: visit the Mc
Donald gardens next trillium sea
son.) . .
When "soup was on", and we
were all gathered on the upper
terrace around the buffet table be
neath one of the largest black wal
nut trees we had ever been be
neath, we had the pleasure of di
viding' our attention . equally be
tween . the chocolate cake,. James
HeGOchrtet was serving, and the
tuberous begonia information he
was giving out by tongue service.
Mr. McGilchrist's begonias are
really something to see, his friends
told us in an aside. (Mental note
No. 2: visit the McGilchrist be
fonlas very soon.)
, Begonias " reach their best, if

grow in fairly complete shade,
but the dappled shade seems to be
the best Loose leaf mold or its
equivalent to form a very loose,
rich soil, and lots of water, with
water sprinkled on the foliage in
the warmer days, were other sug
gestions to improve the begonias
growth, we heard. ;

Planners of postwar programs
for the disabled ought to know
about Vas and his Candy Hut at
Marshfield. Vas is a A D. Vasi
latos, a former stevedore with an
artificial right leg, now proprietor
of a thriving confections emporium.
on South Broadway and one of the
bushiest little business men youH
find in Marshfield.
It was hard to pin him down for
questioning even in his Candy Hut,
a sidewalk nook with I scarcely
eight feet of space between the
neatly kept display shelves.; I fi
nally squeezed in prepared to
spend the entire evening If neces
sar yto learn his story. - And spend
the entire evening I did, getting
answers to my questions between
customers, . actually mere seconds
at a time., ' .' ' , .' .. ,
His 25 years as a stevedore
.was ended by a waterfront ac
; cident la 1939, Today," at 54, he
admits he is more firmly es
' tablished than he ever was as
a longshoreman. .
The fact that stevedoring isn't
among the A job classifications
which qualify a man for selling
merchandise makes his case
unique. Stevedores are pretty rug
ged people, and in a business
which calls -for a rather healthy
measure of tact in order to please
the heterogenous public, most
stevedores would find themselves
pretty hard to manage.
Being at heart still a stevedore,
to Ernest Infer talking about trees.
Every home, , said Mr. Iufer,
should have two, three or four
shade trees around it, unless it is
very small. A home too small for
at least one tree, isn't really a
home at all, Mr. Iufer's voice im
plied. When space permits, he con
tinued, a couple of trees should be
planted about 25 feet out from the
house, a little to the forward, and
two , or three trees, preferably
flowering 'trees, should be plant
ed back of the house Always, he
said, use the trees as a frame for
the house, making it look as if it
were snuggling down for a per
manent home.
Mr. Iufer warned against short
changing the lawn trees in either
summer watering orj fertilizing.
Insects and diseases attack neglec
ted trees much more readily than
they do healthy, vigorous trees,
Iufer said.
Two very good soakings during
the dry season can be! sufficient
but they should continue for sev
era! hours. S
If, Mr. Iufer warned, you make
your fertilization program too
complicated, you just don't follow
it and in consequence your trees
go neglected. A complete fertil
izer in a bucket and a good shovel
are all the equipment you need for
the first step. Pry open the soil
beneath the outer branches of the
tree, chuck into the hole a good
handful of complete fertilizer and
step down the turf on the top of
it Repeat in a circle around the
tree a couple of feet apart If the!
tree has a wide spread, make an
inner circle in the same manner.
Watering down completes the pro
cess. This, said Mr. Iufer, may be
done either in the spring or fall
(and then I dashed right home
and did it the next morning in
mid-summer, while I was sure
I'd still remember.)
Hos,t Judson, by . request, told
us a little about the early history
of the very lovely trees and shrubs
surrounding the home. He told of
his father, Robert Jadson, coming
at the age of 17 years, to the pre
sent Judson home in 1859 and
paying $75 for the five teres. He
pointed out a butternut tree which
his parents had planted, and which
belied the often heard statement
that butternuts die in the wet Wil
lamette valley winters. He showed
us four lilacs and two grape vines
that had -been his mother's pride
a half-century ago, and the Mis
sion rose his mother and father
had planted as a young couple
70 years ago. The ros, we were
told, came originally from Mrs.
Jason Lee, and was a part of the
established custom of giving every
young couple a start" of the Mis
sion rose. He told of the black
walnut tree which 60 years ago
had been a little three-feet tall
tree owned -by Samuel Matheny.
The cedars, said Judson, had come
from early Parkersville, and the
La France rose, long ago from D.
W. Craig." .". -"
Just as the lights began to ap
pear below in the city, the meet
bag was adjourned with the an
nouncement that members would
gather .in. August at the home of

Vas has lost none of his emphatic
ruggedness. A sign above his
stock of mystery i novels reads
THIS IS NO LIBRARY DO NOT
READ THE BOOKS. He can still
say. things to cantankerous cus
tomers, but he also knows how to
send them away satisfied. And
his trade is enormous, for so small
an establishment : '
Impartial But likes
Servicemen , A .
Vas is strictly Independent and
entirely without partiality except
to servicemen. -He has three sons
and a son-in-law in the service. ,
He bought the Candy Hut im
mediately af terf his accident be
cause, he stated, "I couldn't see
myself standing on aj corner selling
pencils." The stock didn't amount
to much, but Vas promptly took
care of that The variety of items
he sells today is amazing. : And
his little store Is as neat and or
derly as the canteen on a battle
ship. He works at it like a beaver,
always cleaning up, rearranging,
straightening the stock, and wait
ing on his customers.
, Among the items he caters are
popcorn, ; magazines, newspapers,
comic books,' pocket-sized novels,
cigarettes, chewTUig tobacco, gum,
candy bars, was maps,' soft drinks
and a hundred pr so others. The
quantities he cafi ge are currently
limited, in some cases to less than
half enough. . And li is his method
of dispensing' the limited supply
which setsyhimi apart from other
merchants. J' ; I
;
He has his own ration system.
Two packages of cigarettes to a
customer, for example. Where a
less enterprising or less ambitious
merchant would take the first-
come - first - served attitude, sell
out and go home, I Vas limits the
quantities per tustomer and re
mains open. Thus he caters a Ut
ile each to a large number of buy
ers, rather than? catering to a few
buyers what he feels would be
more than they! are entitled to.
Knows Time and Place '
For Popcorn j ; . "
Located near a movie house, he
could, if he could get it sell a great
amount of popcorn; But since the
supply is limited, : he pops corn
only at scheduled hours. For in
stance, if you're" going to the movie
at say, a quarter to seven and
want a bag of corn; you can get it
One bag. But lafter the time for
the show to start no more pop
corn. Not until about half an hour
before the next shbw starts.
"That way, Vas explains, "peo
ple going to the movies get their
corn, but when they .come out they
don t get any more. It's already
been sold to the latecrowd going
in."
si
-
Vas reads a 1 lot and has some
pretty definite Ideas about affairs
in general. He; keeps well posted
on current events and knows
what's going or in the world.
Asked what I; he thought
would be the nation's major
post-war problem, he said,
"The returning veterans.
They're now n foreign coun
tries, and they're watching
things, seeing how the rest of
the world gets along. They'll
come home with ! some ideas
and they'll, demand some radi
cal changes."!' Li
He was asked if he thought
they'd upset some old applecarts.
"They wily ;he I replied, "un
less " and paused to wait on a pair
of sailors who wanted half a dozen
cokes. The sailors had no empty
bottles, and a sign on the cooler
stated emphatically no empty bot
tles, no cokes. Vas turned his back
on the sign and; put the cokes in a
bag. "Unless," ;he resumed, "Such
