Want Chateau?
Clearing Center
Can fix You Up
Now Orleans IPi If you are in
the market for a chateau in Bel.
gium, complete with hunting
grounds and a trout stream, or a
partnership in the orchid busi
ness in Colombia, drop a card to
George L. Sawicki at the New
Orleans International house.
Maybe you would like to buy a
Latin-American archeologlcal col
lection Irom a colonel in the Ital
ian army. Or maybe you've been
having trouble with your hot dog
stand.
At any rate and whatever it Is,
Sawicki probably could help you.
Sawicki is assistant director in
charge of imports at the Interna
tional house. The letters he re
ceives under what some people
consider the Import side of busi
ness easily could be turned into
a comic book.
Wants $1,000,000
It's no joke about the chateau
in Belgium. All the owner, a
nobleman, wants for the chateau
is $i,ooo,ooa
( Sawicki said the chateau, arch
eological collections and orchid
business letters are only a,sample
of the strange offers that find
their way into his office.
Some letters are put in a file
marked "potential imports." But
Sawicki said he didn't suspect
anyone would be interested in im
porting a $1,000,000 chateau.
Sawicki said he gets such let
ters from people all over the
world.
"Recently I received a very
pathetic one," he said. "It was
from a former, concert impres
sario in Canada. .
"He said he was operating a
hot dog and hamburger stand
and barely making a living. He
wanted International house to
tell him how to get out of the
hole." .
Offers Suggestion
Sawicki was stopped for only
a little while on that one.
"I got an idea," he said. "I sent
him the name of a Creole cook-,
book and suggested he inject
some Creole cooking into his
menu."
But one almost stumped the
International house staff.
A citizen in the northern part
of the nation had a particularly
enjoyable cup of coffee in Argen
tina two years ago while he was
there on a "happy spree."
He wrote International house
and wanted to know what kind of
coffee he'd been drinking on that
happy occasion.
"Well," said Sawicki, "we
(thought that one had us stopped
cold. But we checked, and
strangely enough, we got the an
swer. Our Argentine representa
tive informed us his native coun
- try offered one mix that struck
the fancy of nearly all North
Americans. We passed that infor
mation along. I guess it was all
right. We haven't got any com
plaints." AWARD RECOMMENDED
Portland, May 27 ill'i Division
engineer W. H. Lynch of the U.
S. public roads administration to
day recommended award oi a
$618,289 contract to Peter Kiewit
Sons Co.. Longview, Wash., for

ing and bituminous surfacing of a

Redmond high school's 1949
graduating class of 83 seniors re
ceived diplomas Wednesday in
commencement exercises at the
high school. Ralph E. Jones, sup
erintendent of Hood River county
schools, gave the graduation ad

Disabled Vets
Assist Others
With Handicaps
Chicago (IP) A group of dis
abled veterans here, understand
ing what it's like to handicapped,
are busy fashioning, artificial
limbs for persons crippled at birth
or by disease.
They study under the Gl bill 01
rights In the city's only school of
its kind, the Chicago School of
Plastic Surgical Prosthetics, incor
porated not-for-profit several
years ago.
The veterans learn how to blend
sculpturing, modeling and casting
to make replacements for facial
and body parts. They make life
like noses, eyes, ears, breasts,
cheeks, mouths, hair scalps, hands
or portions of a hand, and metal
skull plates which brain surgeons
usef or persons with skull de
fects. '
The hands are soft, skin-like,
with cuticle, fingernails and im
bedded hairs. Ears can -be bent
forward and released to spring
back into place. They have mould
ed elastic calves to restore con
tours to legs of polio victims.
Many Charity Patients
Fourteen veterans turn out as
many as 100 facial and limb re
placements a day. They serve
many charity patients because
they .feel their products should be
within reach of anybody.
When a patient comes in, pho
tographs and color charts are
made and a synthetic material
chosen to match his skin. Once
the original mould is made, re-
placements are easy to make, the
veterans say. The average one
lasts 10 to 12 months.
The biggest headache, accord
ing to the school's director, is
summer's tan. If a farmer gets a
nose or cheek replacement, it will
not tan like the rest of his face.
So, some order a winter nose and
a summer nose.
Unfortunately, nothing has yet
been devised to make prosthetic
ears turn red in winter, as a nor
mal ear does, the official said.
However, researchers are report
ing on new lacquers, tints and
dyes which might prove superior
to tnose now used. .
Rubber Latex Used
Industry also advises the school
of its newest findings in the fields
of synthetic resins and other arti
ficial materials. Rubber latex is
the basic substance now used.
So far, no work has been done
at the school in making toes and
feet because "these don't usually
show." Students are primarily in
terested in "cosmetic effects."
Ears and hands are among the
most difficult portions of the
body to make because they must
match their opposite partner, the
students say. An ear usually
takes a week to make, a hand sev
eral weeks. A nose takes two or
three days and more Imagination
and creative effort may be put
into fashioning it, they believe.
Prosthetic work supplements
plastic surgery work. Sometimes
because of a coexisting disease
or age, doctors prefer replacing
missing parts than reconstructing
them with living tissue.

Pageant Floats
Being Prepared
Work preliminary to construc
tion of floats for the 1949 water
pageant was under way today,
with the long boom to be placed
in the river this week end. Twelve
platforms for floats have been
hauled into Pageant park and
made ready for use of commit
teemen in charge.
Clair Fuller, who is assisting
with the work and will be in
charge of seat construction in
Drake park, said it is planned to
place the first sections of the
long boom in the river this after
noon. It Is the desire of the com
mittee to have the booms In the
water for at least a month be
fore the pageant, so they will
.not be top heavy. ,
uommiueemen have announced
that float bases will be ready for
decorators anytime after this
week.
Work on the big arch, central
feature of the annual pageants,
is expected to get under way in
the near future.

Russians Offer
Rail Compromise
Berlin, May 27 UPi-The Rus
sians proposed today a compro
mise settlement of the Berlin
strike which resulted indirectly
in the relmposition of the Soviet
rail blockade of the city.
Soviet-controlled managers of
the Berlin railways offered to
meet In part the demands of the
16,000 workers out on strike for
a week. Strike leaders said the
offer was not enough. But they
called an emergency meeting lo
consider the situation.
A few hours before making
their compromise proposal the
Soviets announced that " for the
lime being they would be unable
to handle trains between west
Germany and Berlin. Thus the
rail blockade, lifted only two
weeks ago, again was clumped on
the city.
The Soviets licensed news
agency reported that the man
agers of the railway system had
decided to pay both eastern and
western marks to railway work
ers living in west Berlin.

ROAD REPORT CORRECTED
The Century drive Into the Elk
lake from the south is now open
as far as the Mud lake tuioff,
about a mile from the lake, My
ron H. Svmons Dointed out loilav.
The Bulletin was in error yester
day in saying the Century drive
is passaoie only lo the Lava lake
turnoff. Symons reported today
he has moved his fleet of boats
to the south shore of the lake.
Sixty per cent of their wages,
the report said, would be paid In
western marks and 40 per cent
In eastern marks. The western
marks are the more valuable.
The workers demanded payment
In western marks.
To get the western marks, the
railway administration would ac
cept them as fares in the Ameri
can, British and French sectors.
The Soviet offer promised the
best chance so far that the strike
could be settled.
