PARIS: Tips to the traveler.
It's always been my practice to
travel light. 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.

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."

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.

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.
