EUGENE REGISTER GUARD, Sunday, Oct. 21. 1862 Pig SO Out the Other Mmmmmauattamuam DON B1SHOTF iraeiSsfcmM;KJ Some left over bits of debris from the Oct. 12 storm; Among the last EWEB customers to get their power restored sometime last week were L. W. Trommlitz and John Tiffany. Trommliti happens to be president of the EWEB board of directors and Tiffany one of its members. EWEB Supt Byron Price's lights never went out. There were the usual silly phone calls to area utilities and governmental agencies. EWEB got a call from a man who said, "My refrigerator light is out What should I do?" And someone phoned the weather bureau at the height of the storm, not to inquire about how bad the storm was, how long it would last, or other such pertinent information. He wanted to know what the Eastern Oregon weather would be like in the week upcoming. He was going deer hunting. State employment service's Eugene office stayed open all weekend after the storm to handle calls from people who needed workers to help clean up the mess. Except for one or two early Saturday morning, nobody called. One resident had only one can opener in the house during the storm. It was electric. Donald Gott family in River Road district had their plastic patio cover yellow in color blown away during the storm. But a few gusts later someone else's patio cover green In color, same size blew, into their yard. South Eugene area resident had been trying for weeks to dislodge an unwanted oak tree on his property. Had hacked away at the roots, dug around them, trying to weaken its hold on the ground and vice versa. Reports it came through the storm completely unscathed, is still standing de fiantly outside his window. Moose Talent Test Sunday AND NATURALLY somebody wrote a poem about the storm man named Dale Allen who lives at 119 Marion Lane. Ordinarily poetry ain't run 'round here, on the theory that the printing of one line of the stuff will unleash a flood from the frustrated Longfellows in our midst. But the office poetry expert says this isn't really poetry It's doggerel, whatever that is so that gets things off 'the hook. It's called "Echo of the Blow": Shuffle of frenzied feet Down on Willamette Street, Oh, for the love of Pete See the commotion! Wind gcttin' mighty rough, Look at it huff and puff, Air full of fhjin' stuff Great Land of Goshen! Oops! Now the lights are out; Better start home no doubt.1 Cars stranded all about Bumper to bumper. Ease out the parking stall, (Few open streets at all), Try the peripheral (This wind's a stumper.') Weave thru the fallen trees, Limbs flying in the bree:e, hot wires if you please Curled like spaghetti. hard to identify Everything sailing by. Shingles invade the sky Thick as confetti. Wheel up at home to see Leaky roof alien tree. Yard cluttered with debris Conglomeration! Cold house and frightened cat! Dead furnace thermostat! No sign of Welcome Mat! Only frustration! Cook stoves won't operate; Coffee won't percolate; Washer won't agitate Nothing seems right! Fill up the kerosene Lamp by the figurine Break out the gasoline Camp stove and light! Shaver won't activate: Furnace won't aerate; Frige won't refrigerate Harfc to my plea! EWEB forget-me-not! I'm really in a spot! Bring Reddy Kilowatt Back here to me! It's probably niet-picking, but it should be pointed out that Reddy Kilowatt is the trademark of the private electric com panies and they're kind of sensitive about municipal organiza tions like EWEB being associated with them. Mr. Allen, incidentally, is hereby nominated as The Man Most Likely to Win Mrs. Wcbley in That Tea Contest We Wrote About A While Back. ONE FINAL NOTE, not storm-connected. The trials of Dick Townsend, would-be deer, hunter, have been chronicled here for some weeks. The "World's Best Deer Hunter Still Works Here" sign outside hs cleaning plant has become a hoi lower and hollower claim as Townsend returned from hunting each weekend empty-handed. Last weekend was finally set as the de'Mne. The new sign outside the cleaning shop this past week tells the end of the story: "I Take It All Back."
