Myron H. Symons, manager of

Bulletin office Saturday to leave
the following fantasy written by
one of his guests, Dr. Elbert T.
Rulison, Santa Cruz, Calif. Dr.
Rulison has titled the piece ."'A
Legend of the Sisters."
'"There live three sisters in the
far northwestern primitive area
of our country. One is a tall sour
old maid. She has her home
farthest in the north. She has
always dominated a little sister
who lives nearby.
'The third sister Is a beautv.
She Is greatly admired by the

south. She Is capricious with all
her admirers, save one. Far to
the southeast lives her heart s
desire, a solitary gentleman
whose figure has been acclaimed
as the most perfect In America.
i ne sister to the south for
many years was literally besetged
by another admirer who lives in
the neighborhood. He was spurn
ed in his advances. Hp even ap
pealed to Satan lor a love token.
Satan, whose domain was quite
near to the east, suggested he
gather certain flowers from hi
garden and present them to his
lady love. When these were
haughtily rejected, the gallant
'blew his top.' Now he is called
Broken Top.

to flirt with the handsome Bach

mien, is very bashful.
"If you do not believe this,
stand on the southwestern shore
of Elk lake some evening at sun
set, and as the South Sister gazes
fondly at the Bachelor, you may
see him blush a coppery-red."
A parade that took 40 minutes to pass the judges' stand was a feature of the Deschutes county fair
program Saturday, in downtown Redmond. The parade was highlighted by the number of horses en

The young rodeo performer,
who took part in leading arena

Moody had participated Satur

Shortage of Manpower May
Become Serious Problem
Washington, Aug. 21 flB La
bor department officials predict
that serious manpower shortages
will develop as the Korean war
program hits full stride.
So far, they said, military calls
for reservists and national
guardsmen have made only a
dent in the labor market. But
they said the impact will begin
to be felt next month when
guardsmen and reservists start
reporting In large numbers.
A United Press survey of big
Industrial centers showed that
many, defense industries already
are hiring skilled workers to re
place those who expect to be call
ed Into the services. Two Detroit
and Pittsburgh already have
only a small reservoir of skilled
laborers available.
The labor department does hot
expect anything like the big man
power shortages that developed
during world war II. But one key
official said "serious shortages
unquestionably will develop In
many areas."

Gov. McKay, who likened the
Korean fighting to Pearl Harbor,
called for tighter continental de
