Soturdoy, October 22, 1955 Sidewalk Maintenance Parking strips and sidewalks have been in the spot light at recent meetings of the Bend city commission. The discussion had its origin in the suit against the city because of an injury suffered by a local resident, assertedly the result of a defective sidewalk. The city would get out from under this continued re- . sponsibility by sponsoring an ordinance making property owners responsible for tho maintenance of sidewalks on ' abutting property. More recently, a commissioner at a citv meeting ex- . pressed his belief that the city could not legally charge owners for irrigation of parking strips, inasmuch as the city at present is presumed to be owner of such strips. The answer appeared to be that the maintenance of lawns in the parking strips was the responsibility of the home owners. No home owner, it was pointed out, is com- . jiuiiuu u pium sucn lawns. Not yet considered by the commission is still another angle to the parking strip problem.

The Hot Potato Governor Paul Patterson, a spectator at the Bend Lebanon football game here the other evening, was the recipient of a delicious Deschutes russet potato, well but tered, wrapped in tinfoil, and just out of the oven. Possibly this was the first time Governor Patterson ever ate a potato at a football game. But he has handled hot potatoes on other occasions. The proposal that tho city of Bend adopt an ordi '. nance prohibiting jaywalking has resulted in a flurry of discussion. - It promises io be one of the hottest topics of the So far, city commissioners have considered such an ordinance only briefly. They want to look into all angles of the proposal. And they seek advice from League of Oregon City officials. Commissioners will be wise in approaching the pro posal cautiously.

They say such an ordinance will provide a speedway for traffic through town. Under the present setup, those opposing tho ordin ance declare, it is impossible for traffic to move through town at a dangerous speed: Jaywalking pedestrians make speed impossible. Tho argument has its merits. But pedestrians should not serve as traffic buffers. City Attorney Harry E.

It's typical of the unglamorous but fundamental kind of thing Wil son has done in the Pentagon. Most important of Wilson's ac complishments as far as Ike is concerned is success with the so called "new look." It mean's that every branch of the service is well on its way to achieving a maxi-! mum atomic weapon capability, j Within six months Wilson will report that this is complete. !

NICHOLS United Presn Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON (UP) A lot of laundry people were so busy ob serving 'Certified Washiablej Week Uvy didn I nave time to wash and iron a shirt. The "certified" part has some thing to do with the American In stitute of Laundering, which is in Joliet, 111. Acording to Alber Johnson, of the institute, bis outfit tests all kinds of things for their washability. Industry is Interested. Well, I've had some experience with a lot of the laundries which have washed, dried and Ironed my duds around a good many acres of the earth. Once back in the mid-thirties I was doing a trick in Milwaukee. I had a few white shirts but what I wanted most was to keep up with the style. The style was to wear dark brown and solid black. Black was for me and I plunked down a fin and got a dime back. It was a three or four-day shirt, really. Didn't show the dirt. Then I lugged my laundry down to the hotel desk. The BUI When I picked up the packet the bill said: "Nine dress shins (white) 25 cents each. One work shirt (black). 15 cents." The pride and joy, for which I had saved all those weens worn- ine over a hot typewriter, turned out to be a dapple-gray. Dipped in straight lyc-water, no doubt. A certified seal. Isupposc, would have given me cause for claim. I howled all right, but my voice of appeal went into the sub zero Wisconsin winter air. The laundry people, by the way, were quick to latch onto' the re sults of a Department of Agricul ture survey which said that with all of the orlon, dacron, nylon, dynel. milium, vinyl and acrilan a lot of ladies still prefer cotlon Particularly because cotton stands the test of the wash. Stuff like cotton for housedresscs, summer skirts, sleeveless blouses, shorts, aprons. Cotton farmers loved the report, too. In facj. for a number of years they have been nominat ing a "cotton queen" and parad ing her around the country dressed in nothing but cotton.

Wilson regularly saw the Presi dent three times a week at Cabi net meetings, at the meetings of tfic National Security Council and for regular personal conferences. It was during these regular con ferences, which sometimes lasted more than an hour, that Ike learn-, ed tho full details of what Wilson was doing at the Pentagon. Wilson was accomplishing things j which Ike had always seen as a vital necessity during his military1 career, but which he had not been able -to do himself. That was to establish firm man agvment controls over the military organization and apply business like technique for running it. When Ike was in the Pentagon as unofficial Chairman of the Joi:it Chiefs of Staff after World War il he tried to gain a degree of con Irol over the sprawling di-fen.se program by spoiling "height young men" around in key places and ordering them to just watch. Ike's "smart young men" gim mick never did produce much. Mm Wilson did. For example. Wilson had a pri vate session with Ike before the President went to the Geneva con ference. Punng it Ihe President asked Wilson the sUe and number1 of the bases the U.S. had around the world. Tins would be a nutjor subject at Geneva, ike said. 1 To Ike'sjitter amazement Wilson promptly handed him a report which had the name, status and size of every U.S. m Hilary base.j warehouse and installation in the U.S. and abroad.
