Immediately after the war, the 20-year-old horse was bought by a mov ie company and used in several films. Then it was sold to a cab service and until a few months ago hauled sightseers through the capital. Now, with little demand for horse cabs, the owners of II Duce's old steed accept any pay load, such as the load of hay he's pulling below.

I bummed around the world in 1936-37 with only a small pack on my back. That still can be done, and with more satorial correctness than in the "old days," thanks to nylon and orlon. TAKES LIMITED WARDROBE Because of my relatively heavy business equipment portable tape-recorder, microphone, ear phones, etc., and two cameras and film it was necessary to make this swing through Europe with a very limited wardrobe. My personal things include one white orlon shirt, three pairs ny lon sox, two changes underwear, one pair shoes, three ties, one suit, one jacket and slacks, one sport T-shirt, one raincoat, slippers, ra zor and soap. The trick is to do the washing every night. Nylon and orlon dry in an hour or less and requires no pressing. The one pitfall is . . . neglect. If you should happen to come in late at night, tired and sleepy, and don't get the laundry done, you must mark off an hour of the next day's sight-seeing. However, that might be all right, too . . . just order breakfast in bed. OFTEN TAKE TOO MUCH First-time travelers, I've ob served, tend to try to take too much along, only to regret the extra load every time they move from hotel to hotel. Unless you just want to show off, many clothes are an albatross. The av erage European doesn't have many suits or dresses, and he doesn't mind at all if you don't either. To paraphrase an old saying: "He travels happiest who travels light." A ROSE: Orion, etc. A THORN: "Kitchen sink" baggage. PARTY FAT UNAPPEALING DENVER W A woman who registered a change in political party affiliation with the elec tion commission told this story, according to Commissioner Ed ward Keating: "When the Democrats came into power 20 years ago I could wear a size 12 dress. Now I have to wtir a size 46. I've grown too fat under the admin istration of the Democrats." Keating said she switched to the Republican party. Tele-tun by Warren Goodrich Ike Impresses 2 Governors BOISE (U.R) Western Republi can governors who met with Dwight D. Eisenhower here Wed nesday said they were firmly con vinced they had a candidate who could win in November. They thought his speech at the Idaho statehouse, stressing the "middle road" in government, was good medicine. Sample of their comment in cluded: Gov. Dan Thornton, Colorado: "Well, of course you are talking to a prejudiced man. I believe Eisenhower is a great American representative of all walks of life. He has high ideals and that's what America needs. He believes that the individual should have rights and that government should not dictate but should serve the American people. It is refreshing that Eisenhower is not conducting a mudslinging campaign. He is basing his fight on what he be lieves in, and not on hate.' Gov. Douglas McKay, Oregon: "I've been supporting the gen eral for over a year. He has a tremendous administrative exper ience. He also has a background of government philosophy that is surprising." 22nd Birthday For Princess BALMORAL, Scotland (IP) Princess Margaret is 22 today and like many another British little sister, she's spending her birthday quietly with the family. The petite princess, one of the gayest leaders of London's smart set until the death ot her father. King George VI, earlier this year, donned tweeds and sensible low- heeled shoes to picnic on the Grouse Moors near here. Queen Elizabeth the Duke of Edinburgh and Queen Mother Elizabeth were to be there, to gether with friends of the royal family. A small family birthday party was to be held Thursday night in Balmoral Castle, but no official celebrations were planned. : jlllf I VEIL 'WVl.m.itOM-MS'iil J L I Youth Flies To Council YONCALLA Bill Laswell, son of Mr. and Mrs. Avery Laswell, took a plane to Wichita, Kans., to visit relatives and then go by plane to Chicago, and on to La fayette, Ind., to represent the Methodist churches of Oregon, at the Christan Youth Council of North America, to be held at Pur due university campus the last week in August.

Over 700 complained lhat the size of their checks were too small, but virtually all ot these withdrew their complaints after being sent a copy of the Oregon bonus law. The 252 protests are largely on the basis of eligibility, Barkeeps To Show Skill In Contest BY HARMAN W. NICHOLS United Prc surr Writer WASHINGTON (U.R) Now we are going to find out what a lot ot us have known all along that some bartenders don't know how to shake up a decent drink, Union bartenders will compete in a contest here Sunday, and judges will select the nation's out standing barkeep and deliver his winning recipe to President Tru man, it the Chief is of a mind to accept. As I get it, there will be three divisions. The most original gin cocktail, the most original whis key cocktail, and the most origin al tall drink using any basic spirit. Bartenders' Local "Old 75" is sponsoring the thing, which is be ing promoted by one Bill Ferrier. A word about Old Bill. He nev er has been one to go around pro moting things like knitting con tests for junior misses, or quilting bees for middle-aged spinsters. But he has other things to his credit. Hes back-staged the nation' first bathing beauty contest. He step-fathered the first flagpole sitters, the coffee drinking mnr athoners, the first cross-country walkers who left opposite coasts, shook hands midway and handed letters to the mayors of the cities of destination. Bill claims he originated white uniforms for milkmen and put America's handsomest milkman in pictures in Hollywood. The contest is open to all union bartenders. The amateur jigger and lemon peel "experts" of the kitchen will sit on the sidelines. The judges will judge on drinks only. They will award no points on the mixologists ability to pitch an unruly customer out on his ear. Or check-refusing, troubles listen ing to, husband-consoling or tele vision tuning. The winners will get a little something to take home in the form of gold plaques. German Boy At Junction For Schooling JUNCTION CITY Georg Bleumal from Schwindegg, Kreis Muehldorf, .Obb., Germany, ar rived this past week to make his home with the Fred Petersen fam ily on Dane Lane. Georg, age 17, is one of approx imately 300 high school exchange students who have come to Amer ica under the State Department Program, in order to promote a better understanding of the United States among the German youth. He will enter the Junction City High School as a senior this fall. It is too soon to question Georg on his reactions to the American way of life but if the start of his journey is an indication of the year to come he will find his stay in America adventurous indeed. For Georg missed the boat on which he was to sail to America in the company of the other ex change students and had to make the journey by air from Amster dam, Holland. He spent four days in Washington, D. C, and then came by train across the United States to his destination. He is one of six exchange stu dents who came to Oregon, and was placed in the Petersen home through the National Catholic Welfare Conference. Georg speaks the English language and is al ready much at home with the Pet ersen's who have four children of their own. Bus Driver Bids Opened FLORENCE At the school board meeting applications were read for school bus driver on two routes that are open. No decision was made. A floor polisher will be ordered for the grade school and the pres ent polisher that is too small for the main building will be used in the new primary unit. Noland Huntington, chairman of the Western Lane Fair Board requested the use of the grade school gym for the fair on Sept. 13. Permission was granted. A spike roller for the athletic field lawn has arrived and been put in use. Final payment was made to the Wald Harding Co., contractors for the primary unit of the grade school. Baby Still in Hospital From Car Accident LOWELL Barbara, 15 months old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Bud Irwin, Green Meadows Trailer Court, Lowell, is still in Sacred Heart Hospital, Eugene, with pos sible chest injuries following a car accident north of Goshen Friday. Her mother must wear a cast on her arm for three months. An artery was severed requiring 36 stitches to close. Susan, three months, was not injured, although she was thrown to the floor when her mother's car collided with a pickup. Damage to the Irwin car was about $400. Mrs. Irwin was cited for driving without a driv er's license. The family came from Lebanon.
