Newspaper Page TextXL OrXGOII STATESMAN, Salem ;Orecjon. Sunday Morning, August 13. 1911 PAGE Tumxcni yyt t n . nH-. - By Ethan Grant - -XX ; :. PORTLAND, Au. 12 There'a an old saying I used to resent: You can get the boy, out of the country, but you can never get the country but of the boy." .','. For a long time, after, ,! left the country, I didn't believe if But after an these many years trying 4o become citified, I've finally giv en up, Fm still a hick and a hay seed, and there's no use- pretend ing any longer., T - I think what broke the camel's back was . that banquet the other night Stanley Krueger, Dick Mey er, Ike Bacon and I found seats near the . northwest corner of the big banquet halL Each of the four long tables seated approximately 100 guests. They began serving the diners first way over in the oppo site corner. Stan and I,, trying hard to be gentlemen, waited patient ly. But it was literally hours be fore they finally got around to us. Two waitresses brought six huge plates containing sizzling steaks and all the trimmings. They served Ike and Dick on one side of us, and four guests on the other side, leaving Stan and I sit there, the only two guests in the house who had not been . served. And the waitresses said, "Sorry, but there isn t any more.- v --ry What J said wasn't nice, and 111 deny I said it if Stan ever ac cuses me. But, you see, we'd wait ed just one hour and 45 minutes. Moreover, we'd paid Jtne price asked, $2 each. And it was so long after suppertime we could have called it breakfast if we could have eaten it - I'm sure banquets were thought tip. by some city feller, and when it comes to a question of econo . mics and plain utility, I'll take my meals, somewhere else here- after. , Now that I'm through trying to be an urbanite, I can think of many city practices I've never cared for. I never could get used to drinking out of a fountain. I always wonder what I'm prob ably drinking besides water. I like to see What I drink. On the farm we drank pure water from a spring out of a long handled gourd. You could not only see it, but it tasted better. Even out of a tin cup, it tastes better than out of a crock ery fountain. ' : -: : When I go to a theater, I prefer to sit in the balcony. Sitting down stairs,' with a balcony hanging ov er my head, gives me a heavy, un comfortable feeling. , ., Which reminds me of a remark made by a woman sitting behind me at a movie the other night She and another woman were taking a mutual friend apart She said, "She's one of those drips that fall . ail over each other in public". I don't know who she meant hut I think I've known the type. Something else r never liked about the city is all this so-called formality. For instance, waiting for an invitation before calling on your best friend. In the country, you just dropped In, and you were : always welcome. "' ' - But you do bump into some in teresting things in a city like Port land. A drunk sat next to me in one of those lunch-counter restau rants the other night He seemed to have money without appearing very prosperous. He'd ordered a big steak, which he; wasn't eating. He called the middle-aged wait ress "Sis," and she called him , "Honey. She was being extremely affectionate int an embarrassed sort of way. Others were watching : and listening, including me. -It seemed he owed her a debt but wanted her to say whether it was for $50 or $60. You could tell it was probably 480, but she said she thought it ,was probably . only $50. He paid herefrom, a bigroll, and she seemed glad to get it She put it in her purse beneath the counter.- , - ,1. She was busy, but he kept talk ing to her. and she went out of her way to be nice to him. Finally, he left saying he'd be back before she got through work. Then, with a hint of embarrassment and emo tion which she couldn't. hide, she explained, to nobody in particular. "He a- my brother,: she .said. and he- drinks . something awful, He started " drinking right after he got back from France the last war. We kept harping about it so he finally got mad and cleared out We never heard a word from him for 15 years. Then "one day about three weeks ago, he suddenly showed, up. He still drinks, worse than ever; but we're not saying a word now. We just figure it's Bet ter to have him around drunk than dead somewhere, like we thought Week's Health Slate Listed The week's activities for the Marion county health department will be held mostly in the health office in Masonic building.

New World Calendar Protested by Adventist : Protest against . the proposed new World Calendar advocated by' the World Calendar Association, Inc., was made Saturday by the Salem - Seventh - day Adventist church in a special service devoted. The speaker, G. T. Dickinson, declared the movement for the new calendar antireligious, and said that its adoption "would bring great confusion and perplexity to the people of all religions who con scientiously worship on definitely fixed days, of the weekly cycle, whether it be Sunday, Saturday, Friday, or any other day.' , The. protest said the change in the calendar to adjust a 385 Vi -day year to 364 days; to be 3fVidel in to equal quarters of 91 days each, would - "irrevocably disturb ' 5 and set aside fixed religious days of the world's great faiths, Catholic, j Protestant and Jewish."
