Klamath Falls Pageant On Thursday Klamath Falls will move Into the spotlight on the Oregon stage with its three-day centennial pageant, "Wagon Road to Sky Road." The dramatic event of five episodes will have a cast of 2000 and will commemorate the blazing of an easier pio neer trail from Fort Hall, Idaho to western Oregon. The party of 15 was led by Levi Scott, who had come to Oregon in 1844 from Iowa, and by two Applegate brothers, Lind say and Jesse, of the family famous in Ore gon history. It was on July 4, 1846, that these hardy frontiersmen gazed on what is now known as Klamath Basin. Eugene will feel a personal interest in her sister city's venture into pageant production for the event will be directed by Prof. Hor ace Robinson of the drama department at the University of Oregon. And many of those who have been connected with Eugene's long career in presenting historic pageants may feel a touch of nostalgia in connection with Klamath's forthcoming days of excite ment and festivity. Memories will leap back to Eugene's great annual pageants, whose march was interrupted by the war. It is not difficult to find other links to provide a true feeling of kinship between our two pageants, for next year Eugene will have a centennial to celebrate, too. It was in the summer of 1847 that Eugene Skinner, founder of this city, built a cabin on his claim at the west edge of Skinner Butte. His grandson, Eugene F. Skinner, lives in Eu gene. And it was only the year before that Elijah Bristow staked a claim at what is now Pleasant Hill and built Lane County's first log cabin. His grandson, Darwin Bristow, also lives in Eugene. Certainly, history is ours to commemorate! Klamath's pageant will mark another event, too, for this month that city will wel come United Air Lines service. Even this will send local memories rushing back, for Eu gene's first pageant, in 1926, was known as the Trail to Rail celebration and marked an other transportation event the joining of the eastern and western parts of the state by the Natron cutoff on the Southern Paci fic Railroad. Year by year the local pageants grew un til just before the war in the summer of 1941 came the Oregon Trail Pageant celebrating the 100th anniversary of arrival of the first pioneer families in Oregon. Klamath's pro duction will be watched with real interest, but inevitably we will be 'asking ourselves, "Does Klamath have the sweep of dramatic action, the color, the musical power, the smoothness of Eugene's best?" We will be wondering, too, If the folks to the south have discovered some new tricks of stagecraft, if they will inject a freshness of appeal into their show if we can learn anything from their adventure. This didn't seem to be Eu gene's year to revive her pageant, but after Klamath's performance, we will be wonder ing, "Can we outshine her in our next show?" Only time will tell, but meanwhile Eu gene will give Klamath Falls her hearty best wishes for a smashing success. May she set a mark in pageantry that will be hard to beat! SOCIETY, WOMEN'S ORGANIZATIONS By ANN CONNELL OUT OF THE WOODS By JIM STEVENS Literary Snipe Hunt . . . The professors have been arguing about Paul Bunyan ever since my book came out in April, 1825. One of them had a piece on him in a national magazine over a year ago that took Paul and Babe entirely out of character as a legend of the forests. I wrote a protest which carried a deadpan reference to a "newly discovered Henry James letter on the lore of Paul and Babe." It was of course a sell. The magazine was literary, and I assumed that any reader of It would perceive the hoax at first glance. Henry James was an aesthete of aesthetes. He lived n England because of the "coarsness ' and "crudity of America. The idea of his ever having been in terested in Paul and Babe is as fantastic as any Bunyan tale. But I was solemn in my missive and parodied the Henry James phrasing a trick which any practising writer can easily do. And I used such famous James phrases as "emotion of recognition", golden measure, "American scene. I didn't dream the letter would fetch me a ten derfoot New York professor to hold the bag and the antern in the cold night, waiting for the snipe. But dahgunned if that warn't what happened! Where Is Nathan Bronsteln? ... The letter was from a New Yorker who has made up what is called an anthology of Paul Bun yan stories. A couple of mine will be in it.As usual, the anthology contributors get little or no money for their work. The publishers and the compiler- editors take the profits from such books. So, when I read this in the editor s letter, . . . you make reference to (the newly discovered Henry James letter on the lore of Paul and Babe). I won der if you will be good enough to Inform me where the letter appears, if it has been published, or if it has not been published, who has it?" I had only a utle trouble with my conscience Before going on with the snipe hunt. My reply was pretty complicated. It said that away back yonder the pioneer Seattle lumberman, Henry Yesler, had a no-good step-brother, Ralph Yesler, who was an arty fellow, Ralph -wrote Henry James about how crude his life was, for his lumber man brother was making him toil as a bullcook. So Henry James wrote in return, (said I), that art was everywhere, even in the wilderness, as witness Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox. James was liv ing in England but had heard of Paul from English lords who traveled to Michigan to fish for grayling in the Au Sable. Of such was my tall tale. 1 con cluded: Mr. Nathan Bronstein, grand-nephew of RalDh Yesler, member of a logging machinery firm, and patron of the arts in Seattle, has the letter of Henry James to Ralph Yesler. He is in Hollywood. . . I hope I can get what you want from him at an early date." The New Yorker stuck to his bag and lantern. He kept writing on his engraved letterhead, enclosing air-mail stamped envelopes, and asking, "Where is Nathan Bronstein now?" Murder Yet! . . . Today I wrote the poor cuss again, saying, "I have not yet heard from Nathan Bronstein in Holly wood. . . It was Farrar Burn, husband of June Burn, author and assistant professor in the Depart ment of English, University of Washington, who copied the Paul Bunyan reference from the original James letter. He and his wife are now on a cruise among the San Juan' Islands. Farrar is a brother of Bob Burns, of Hollywood and radio fame, and so won the confidence of Mr. Bronstein, who is "hard to come by", as the loggers say, even when he is here at home. Meanwhile, I've asked my old friend, Jim Marshall, who resides in Los Angeles as West ern editor of Collier's, to see if he can get wind of Bronstein around the movie studios. He might be able to help us." And so on, with more and more fanciful complications. If the New Yorker comes back for still more, I'll just about be up a' stump. I may have to murder Nathan Bronstein yet If Farrar Burn and Jim Marshall don't kill me first! Psychologist Tells Of Campus Tests At Quota Dinner To a psychologist who studies long and carefully the character istics and aptitudes of a person be fore offering counsel, it is shock ins and amazing how other per sons will unhesitatingly offer ad vice and suggestions to persons unknown to them, said Dr. Leona Tyler, talking before Eugene Quota Club at a dinner meeting Monday evening at the Osbum Hotel. Dr. Tyler, who Is a part of the personnel department of the Uni versity of Oregon, told of the tests for aptitudes which are given on the campus, in order to assist ex- servicemen in choosing their ca reer and studies. Many interest ing cases, in anonymity, were cit ed. She also described some of the work of psychologists in hospitals, where personalities must be rehabilitated. It is depressing to realize, she said, "that in a war men can be shot to pieces wholesale; that the destruction done in five minutes often takes years and years to rec tify, if ever." Chairman of the program was Mrs. J. W. Brown,, heading the achievements of women commit tee. She also will be chairman of a picnic dinner to be held August 6 at the home of Dr. Marian Mil ler. For transportation, members are to contact Mrs, Ray C. Smith or Mrs. Brown. Mrs. Smith presided at the meeting. Mrs. Mary Sands and Mrs. A. E. Wall conducted com munity singing. COMMITTEE ON TICKETS Mrs. Alta Hasselrooth is in charge of tickets and box office for "Three Men on a Horse," the comedy which will open Saturday night at eight thirty o'clock on the stage of the Very Little Theatre.

Aid ing the Very Little Theatre in this resyt r are Jli and Mrs. Lloyn C. DeLess, Mrs. Laura Nelson, Mrs. Nina George, Mrs. Frank Clark, Robert DeLess, and James Reese. VISITORS EXPECTED Dr. and Mrs. Virgil E. Foster of Grlnnell, Iowa, will arrive in Eugene Saturday, for a week's visit with friends. Mrs. Foster, formerly Miss Imo Ruyle, was for a number of years the pastor's assistant at First Baptist Church in Eugene, and also served as YWCA secretary in Portland. MARRIAGE ANNOUNCED MEADOWVIEW Mr. and Mrs. Charles Denning announce the How to Pack Suitcase Is Vacation Query How to pack t suitcase is a question often asked In summer. The first question that comos up is "what should I pack first?" Obviously this is a personal mat ter. The only set rules for pack ing a suitcase are first to check available space in luggage, then cull out clothing until you hove only those clothes that "you will need. By the way, this might be a lesson in clothing selection, for ofl?n there Is a temptation to buy an outfit because it is on sale and then we find that It does not fit into the general plan of aeces sones. Never crowd clothing Into bag. Or if you do, don't expect that the clothing will arrive at the destination in any but a crumpled mass. , Heavy Farklnr Place heavy objects such as shoes, traveling iron and the cos- meuc Dag toward the back or bottom of the bag. And If you're going to carry bottled cosmetics in with your general luggage, be sure that It is as nearly leak-proof as possible. Many a vacationist has been sorry about the or perfume spilled all over orite dress or the liquid hand lo tion or make-up base on the skirt of the best suit. Best idea, of course, Is to have a small make-up bag in which you can also put the brush and comb and the nlghtclothes and fold-up slippers. This is especial ly true when traveling by air. In fact, many airlines ask if there is anything very spillable in a bag before it Is packed into the nose of a plane. What to put where In a bag obviously if you are to arrive at the beach in the morning, you'll probably put the play suit on top. If you're going to arrive late in the evening, you'll nut vour nipht clothes nearest the top. If you're.! arriving at antl destination to spend your' whole vacation, it wouldn't make much difference for you'll unpack the bags im mediately anyway.
