- 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

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."
