1 PAGE SIX THE BEND BULLETIN, BEND, OREGON MONDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 194? Weary Housewife Ends World Tour At Alaska City Anchorage, Alaska, Feb. 21 UP) A broke and travel-weary Eng lish housewife who wanted to fly around the world appears to be at the end of the trail. Mrs. Richard Morrow-Talt, 25-year-old red-haired avialrix, was back in Alaska vainly trying to raise some money to fix her plane after hitch-hiking up the Alcan highway in mid winter weather. Plane Crashes The British housewife and her navigator, Michael Townsend, crashed In their British type Per-cival- Proctor near Tok junction, Alaska, late in December last year. Townsend returned to Eng land, while Mrs. Morrow-Tait traveled to the University of Al berta where she modeled for two weeks. She left there to return to her plane, hitch-hiking up the snow bound Alaskan highway and camping by the side of the road at night In sub-zero weather with . out blankets. Meets Companions Along the way, she met two other "knights of the road" and traveled with them as far as Pal mer, Alaska, where she boarded a bus to Anchorage. "I'm never going back on the Alcan highway again," she said. "I nearly froze." The immigration inspectors at Tok junction at first refused to admit her to the territory, she said. But they finally relented and allowed her two weeks in Alas ka. She said she would go to Se attle, Wash., after that and stuy with some friends while she tried to raise money. Mrs. Morrow-Tait said she had received a letter from her hus band recently. "He's not mad at me at all," she smiled. "He says he understands everything."

The reason was made obvious when the Cooper Union museum gave an exhibit titled: "Nine Lives: The Tale of the Cat in History and Art." The exhibit traced the histori cal ups and downs of the cat with paintings, prints, drawings, sculp ture, and the textile, metal and wood work of the great masters. The exhibit showed that the ancient Egyptluns regarded cats as sacred and that the goddess Bast and even Isis sometimes were feature with a cat's head. Cats were often mummified and mum mified mice were buried with them to provide food in the after life. Cats were so important that the death penally was Imposed on anyone who killed them. During the Renaissance, alleg edly because of the (ierman god dess Kreya, the cat lost favor. 1-rcya supposedly rode In a char- lot drawn by cats. Those who worshipped Kreya were persecut ed and the cat became associated with witches and the devil. Came the Victorian era and the cats were In again. Coy, sweet sentimental cats appeared on Christmas and trade cutis. Cat lovers Included Cardinal Richelieu, Pope Plus IX, Henry James, Thomas Carlyle, Theodore Roosevelt and Georges Clemen ceau. The artists recorded it ull verv nicely. Thnt is, until the 20th century. Then, they became vague. It appeared that they could take their cat or leave them alone. The most contemporary work was an abstract painting. If it hadn t been labeled "cat, It sure ly would have been removed from the exhibit Naturally, the fue.stion "How rates the cat of today ?" posed itself. The American Feline Society, Inc., tried to help out. "The rat Is more popular than ever and its popularity gains every year," the society's presi dent, Robert Lothar Kendell, said enthusiastically. Kendell, in backing up his claim, said there were 21,(X0,000 cats in America; 120 cat: breeder associations; 1,(KK) concerns that handled cat commodities exclu sively; 100 or more cat model agencies and 125 studios that pho tographed nothing but cuts. It sounded very impressive and tpjlte conclusive. But somebody let the cats out of the bag, or, more likely, the cellar. They were a pair named Inky and Stinky. A custodian saw them purring and preening about the exhibit. He turned purple at the tight. Ho quivered. Raising Ids broom like a jave lin, he took aim and fired. "SCaaT!" he roared. Not everyone, you see, likes cats. PORTLAND PKODUCK Portland, Ore., Feb. 21 'H'l Egg prices dropped one cent a dozen on all grades and sizes today. Butter prices held unchanged and firm.

C, Hulett, supervisor of the Ochoco National forest, reporting on a Prineville, Feb. 21 Ben A. Newell of Salem, Marlon county agent In charge of livestock and dairying and secretary of the Or egon Swine Breeders association, in a letter to E. L. Woods, secretary-treasurer of the Oregon Shorthorn Breeders' association, suys the first annual eastern Ore gon sale of bred gilts of his group is now well lined up and that Willamette valley swine men will offer here 31 gilts of eight stan dard breeds. He declared that the swine men were pleased that they were able to secure Joe Church of New Plymouth, Ida., as their auctioneer. Church, he declared, has a broad knowledge of swine raising. He has successfully cried four sales for the swine associa tion in Salem. As a criterion for prices of bred gilts this year, Newell said that 33 head at Salem on February 5 had averaged S!23.18. Top animal was a Chester White consigned by Elton Watts of Sllverton, which brought $185. Berkshlres averaged $145. Lyle McKinley of Shedd, president of the swine breeders, and Floran Zielinski of St. Paul, chairman of the sale committee, Newell wrote, say they feel their offerings at Prine ville, to be made on the after noon of March 2, the first day of a two-day sale and show of the Shorthorn breeders association, will meet with the approval of Central Oregon farmers. FACES LIQUOR CHARGE Richard W. Golden, who was arrested February IS on an intox ication charge, was released on a $15 bond. meeting of all rangers of the for est of the area here last week. I said plans cull for an expanded program tne coming summer. The main physical feature for in creasing fire protection, he said, will be the construction as soon as weather conditions permit of a new lookout tower at Black butte in the Snow mountain area. The new structure, built of pre fabricated creosoted wood, will be b'5 feet high. It will be manned by a lookout during the season of fire hazards. Where us the Ochoco forest last year was able to secure 10 stu dent foresters from Pacific north west and other colleges and uni versities, Hulett says that It is indicated that 20 students will be available for integration into crews engaged in varying duties this year. One crew will start early in the season on surveys for new access roads into timber ready for harvest. Two crews will engage in timber stand improve ment. Two other crews will start appraisal of timber that has been affected by needle blight with the aim of salvage plans. Hulett says that the Ochoco forest has around 40,000,000 feet of pine affected by this disease.

Electric and Acetylene Welding General Auto Repairs Writer and Actor Speaker in Bend More than 170 members of the Bend Knife and Fork club and guests Saturday night at a dinner in the Pilot Butte inn heard Har old J. Kennedy discuss "Back Stage Adventures," with Rev. G R. V. Bolster, club president, as toasimaster. Kennedy, a writer of plays and a former actor, touched on his stage experience in the lighter vein. Highlighting kYmx-.lv's ;age experiences was his part, as an assistant to Orson Welles, in the presentation in the fall of 1938 of The War of the World," a radio play that scared a nation. Kenne dy discussed that broadcast in connection with the recent broad cast of the same play in South America. Kennedy said that one of the interesting developments of the American broadcast in 1938 was the "eye witness accounts of the landing of Martians" telephoned to radio stations and newspapers. The speaker was critical of the type of plays being shown iiv'tho aters and the type of programs being broadcast over radios. How ever, he said, these plays and pro grams are what Americans desire.
