fcMSec. It-Statesman, Salem, Ore., Monday, Aug. 22, 1953 DLnAHaKpJGS By CARL BALL He awoke and beard the night hawks screeching the insect dark ness out. The city was wrapped in its cloak of cement and neon darkness; agitated lights gave om .nipotence to the jtfllow lines that divided non-existing traffic. All was quiet. The city, like an insect without its hum. flicked the dark ness with jerking, imprisoned va pors; the spectrum of advertising gave a sales talk to silence and the drunks too blind to see: the yellow lines were weaving. . Bats pirouetted about the large neons oa the roof tops, bote! rooms played the squares of late mystery as rats victimized the alleys and basements searching ut the inventories of commerce and trade. In the . bus terminal, where night was the hurried extension of day, travel schedules were heavy with the pathos and misuse ol humanity that the city spread in elastic tentacles of dark move ment. In the stretch of darkness under the screech of nighthawks and the blur of neon the termina spread out the dying darkness under miles of distance never really begun nor ended, correlat ed segments priced to need and schedule and repetitious as night and day. The city, never in a hurry for darkness nor speeding towards light sits out man's mansions. For a city is the ever extending atop-over whose age and growth cannot diminish its beginnings. Once planted, man sets it up to divide the passage of time and space, a home to many but itin erant to all. Sitting Patiently All cities have the knowing look of impermanence. We feel beneath facades and falsefronts (he irresistable earth, patiently sitting out the blind eternity giv en it by man. But it lies in wait for a fractured walk, a shattered building to release the hidden generations of green and give back to the city its beginnings when it was but a field of grass there were trees in those days, lots of them. .A city is the co-mingling of many dreams that need room to contain themselves, where identi fication ami communication could mutually achieve both a sense of security and sustenance. The city, ever trying to be young, carries within it the weight of old be ginnings. Old buildings and old ideas frustrate the widening de- nand of progress, the proverbial rut of complacent acceptance of what is, or was, dams up expan sion. ..... always there are the trees, the first to tumble into memory, the first to fall under progress, for expansion means trampling, disruption of the im portance of green and, keeping in mind the beginning of things, disrespectful to that which has been ,and can never be again '. ... . . for grass, trees, paths, streams are the earth's provin cials which progress, hence the city, must bury in order to erect a new environment, not a fresh, nor as clean, but one that it is hoped will ultimately open up the deeper and finer meaning of life . . we miss the trees . . . but in a room at night in the city, the trees do not seem too far away. Are4he insects waiting for their return? ..... New Exhibit at Bush House Museum An exhibit of pitchers, mostly antiques, has been arranged at Bush House, and will be open to the public on Tuesday.

When one who is a house guest finds it necessary to make a long distance telephone call, who should pay the charges? The guest should immediately call the operator upon completion of the call and ask for the charges. This amount should then be given to the hostess. Q. When accompanying a woman to the dinner table, should the man sit down exactly at the same time she does? A. No. He should draw out her chair first, and not sit down until immediately after she is seated. Is it necessary that the husband of the matron-of-honor at a wed ding be asked to serve as an ush er? A. No; this is not necessary. CHARLIE CHAN CHINESE MEDICINE AND HTfcl CO. NEW LOCATION SO 12TH AND LESLIE 1195 LESLIE OFFICE HOURS Ives, and Sat.
