Breakfast Colors and Moods
In the past few years we've become uccuntomed to
colored automobiles, telephones, typewriters, reliiKera
tors, radiators and stoves.
But news that colored reiidy-to-eat cereal is now on
the market bounced us for a loop.
This morning breakfast dish, so we are told, is fruit
flavored. It is a nre-sweetened corn puff breakfast food
Each package consists of raspberry red, orange and
lemon yellow corn puffs, described as a "rainbow of color
exploded from puffing guns.
Why the colors?
The red, we learn, "suggests fresh berries, the orange
is the color of most popular fruits, and yellow has a de
finite appetite appeal."
Just the thing we've been looking for through the
years. Now we can have just the right color of cereal to
agree with our morning moods.
But, come to think of it, the cereal comes only in th(
brighter hues.
The Buck-Haf Dilemma
A confused friend of ours reports he faces a baf
fling problem each season when he goes into the woods
in (uest of venison.
When afflicted with buck fever, he never can remem
ber, on the spur of the moment, whether to shoot at
horns or a red hat.
However, he is not a menace in the woods: He hasn't
baggcd a deer in some 35 years.
Nor has he punctured a red hat.
The Old Pine's Story
Displayed in Bend's city hall is a section of a tree
that has a story.
It Is not the story of the huge sugar pine from
which the section was cut, and which grew on the Walker
Rim slope in northern Klamath county for 8G4 years.
It is the story of mysterious events that affected that
giant tree in its long life.
Genghis Khan, raider of Asia, was not yet born when
the tree started its growth in 1M1. The tree was still
growing when the Japanese struck I'enrl Harbor.
During that span of years things were happening
on the western shoulder of Walker Him, where the tree
began growing 86 1 years ago. 1
The tree was a sturdy sapling when something hap
pened, in the year 1 J 02. A black circle in the rings of an
nular growth shows that the tree nearly died.
Did fire sweep the rim area, or did hot pumice from
' some nearby cone wilt its needles? The answer is miss
ing. After its near death 7G3 years ago the tree gained
new vigor. For a century or more it grew rapidly.
'Growth rings were broad. Moisture obviously was abund
ant. In later centuries, the old sugar pine faced tough
conditions, and barely existed for about 11)0 years.
What were the events that left their mark on the
sugar pine of the Walker Rim region? The old tree
guards its secret.
For those who can learn that secret, the tree will tell
the story of the region since the days of Genghis Khan.

Word of Breeder
Award Received
Special to The Rullrtin
COLUMBUS, O. A Sixth con-
.stnictivi? breeder award has been
conferred on Mrs. Kuby Steiwer
Lamb, Route 3, Bend, Oregon, by
the American Jersey Cuttle Club.
The award is one of the highest
awards made by the Jersey breed!
registry which has its national,
headquarters in Columbus, Ohio, j
To lie eligible for the award
Mrs. Lamb carried nut a balanced!
program of herd improvement and
breed promot ion. I f er animals
have met. high requirements of
both production and type, and a
majority of the animals in the
herd were bred or owned by her
for at least four yearn.
Kleven cows were in the herd
10 months or more of the year
and weii? enrolled on the Jersey
Herd Improvement Registry test
ing program. These cows had an
average yearly production- of 9,186
lbs. milk containing 'IS'i lbs. buttur-
fat.
Nine animals in the herd have
i average type classification
rating of 85.83 per cent. Tv
animals were classified excellent
the highest type rating given by
the club.
The Dying Juniper
Dow n in Drake I'ark a once rugged juniper of un
guessed age is slowly dying.
And, in the weeks just before Christmas. Bend
youngsters will be going from door to door selling bunch
es of mistletoe.
In these apparently unrelated facts there is no non
scutiitur but attuallv a Verv rinse senium,-, ,f .-siiih ,'itwl
effect. The (lying juniper, its own folige largely gone is
lavishly adorned with the odd twig-like mistletoe pecu
liar to the juniper host.
And gradually but inevitably its parasitic attack i.-.
bringing death to the tree. Inescapably the myth of Kal
dur, the beautiful and his destruction, wrought by an
arrow of mistletoe fashioned by the evil I.oki, comes to
mind.
It is, of course, likely that a tree already beginning
to weaken extends a passive invitation to the parasite.
But it is unquestionable that the mistletoe, mice accepted,
grows ever more vigorous while its host becomes progres
sively less able to withstand the drain on its vitality.
Next summer a dead juniper will lie cut down and
hauled away.
It is only poetic justice that the mistletoe, which can
not survive independently, will also lie gone.
