Brogan, Awodata Editor Member, Audit Bureau of Circulator t tba fMt offlca at An Independent Newspaper 4 The Bend Bulletin. Wed., November 23. 1955 A Happy Thanksgiving Autumn faded into winter bo early this year that it' is not difficult for Central Oregonians to realize that the 195B-56 holiday season is here. Snow whitens the Cascades and tinsels the forests that reach westward from the Deschutes. Skyliners for weeks have been talking about their winter program and setting their ground in shape. Reindeer have pranced through the streets of Redmond. And tomorrow is Thanksgiving day, 1955. We of Central Oregon have much to be thankful for again this year yes, even for the snow that whitens the mountains. That snow will provide the water for crops of the Des chutes country. 'Man With The Plow" On a spring morning in the distant year 1904 a man with a plow was seen making comparatively straight furrows in the village that had been known as Farewell Bend. . There was no great Interest in his work, for at that time thero were few here to be interested. Bend was a mere hamlet. Its main thoroughfare was a rutted wagon road. , But that man with the plow was performing a task of considerable importance. He was marking the streets for the village of Bend. Each street was given a name, as the sod was turned. In this year of 1955, there are some who believe that the man with the plow should have stayed home on that distant spring clay. Thoy say that half a century after the streets were marked they can't be located. But tho system of naming Bend's streets cannot be blamed on the man with the plow, or on the engineer, L. D. Wicst, who surveyed the original townsite and marked its basic divisions. Bend has grown by townsites and sub-divisions since that distant day. Where there were once only streets and avenues, there are now boulevards, places, lanes and roads. And, of course, all have numbers or names. It is the syHlem of numbering that apparently is prov ing a bit confusing to new arrivals in Bend. And even more confusing is the fact that both the Deschutes river and the railroad track form divisions for the naminir of Btreets. Streets merge into roads, roads'( branch off to rvea ura, and avenues appear to taper to lanes or places Streets begining at Division are numbered, in con- -secutlve order eastward, until now they are nearing the base o Pilot Butte. These bear the preface "Kast." But adding to the confusion are streets in the south east section of town. These bear the prefix "South." The same street is divided into "East Third", and "South Third." Incidentally, few residents of Bend know that aven ues in the southeast part of town were originally named after presidents Hayes, Garfield, Arthur, Harrison, Cleveland, McKinley, Roosevelt, Taft and Wilson. That grouping of streets, ending with Wilson, indi cates that this nomenclature was approved around tho World War I years. Also in the east part of Bend arc avenues whose names appear td have neither rhyme nor reason: "Revere, Seward, Vail, Xerxes, Yale and Zenith." Obviously the man with the plow should have had the guidance of a planning commission a commission that would have been optimistic enough to realize that Bend would grow from a village into a city. to. fall ' ' '- Sage Brushtngs By ILA S. GRANT It didn't jar me when I found out about the Easter Bunny. And when I learned the truth about Santa. Gaus, I didn't feel a thing. But when . I discovered that the intellectuals had debunked my fa vorite Thanksgiving stony, it was almost more than I could bear. For years, I had been happy in the belief that John Alden got things fixed up for Miles Stand oH-ish. But Priscilla Mullens was a headstrong g.rl, and with con siderable batting of the eyelashes, told John to speak for himself When she put it that way, he was literally forced into a corner, so he married the girl. And thereby became the first Reluctant Dragon. This Alden was quite a cnar- actrr. He was originally a cooper of Southampton, and he didn't give two whoops about striking out and establishing a colony. He'd rather cruise around on a floating grog shoo, but rimes got bad. and he took a job making repairs on the: Mavflower. He just made the trip over with the Piltrrim Fathers for laughs. And so there would be someone to sample the spirits. Well, John made the best of it, and for over 50 years was a colo nial magistrate and highly esteem ed for probity-, sagacity and reso lution. Of course you know that when the Mayflower drew up at Ply mouth Rock, John was the first to step ashore. A band of Indians came down to meet the ship, and John said, "You're right on time." "Sure thing, ' said the biggest Indian. "And of course you're John Alden, and after we make it through the first hard winter, we'll celebrate by having the lirsi Thanksgiving." And so they dla.

Marie and her far.'ily will be eating turkey tomorro.v on Oscar and Rollie. But here's how.it hap pened. Rollie's Piggly-Wiggly store gave away eight turkeys last week, and Marie asked for a coupon for the drawing. When it was delivered to Polly's, Oscar, who just moved in to his new super market across' the street, was drinking his mid- morning java. lie insisted on a chance, too. "Okay," said Rollie, "But if you win, you have to give the turkey to Mane." Well, whose name do you sup pose was the first out of the hat: You're right. It was Oscar's. Rollie didn't think his customers would be too happy if he gave a turkey to the competition, so he drew the promised- number of tickets, in mention to the first. But he kept his word, and so did Oscar. And everybody's happy, especially Marie. Tomorrow is tho big day, and many hostesses will havi at least (wo things to be thankful for: the arrival of a flock of hungry guests and their departure. If anyone happened to see the wife of a prominent local physician foraging around In the alley be hind a florist's shop and wonder ed what was going on now it can be told. It was an occasion for real mourning when Bob Mannheimer's alma maters-Oregon State College took a shellacking at the hands of the University of Oregon. And the girls in the stone were deter mined to deal with the situation in appropriate vein. So when Bob arrived at the store Monday morning, he found his desk draped with a large funeral spray of wilted flowers. ' In spite of the tragedy, the store stayed open for business. The news earned a story reoent ly about an ambulance driver who was arrested for driving 70 mim an hour. Probably just trying to ptek up some business on the way.

They refer to the fact that the U.S. Post Office build inu is directly across Wall Street from The liulletin office. Through the years, staff members have been taking short cuts. The result is that a sort of trail has been established between the Hulletin office and the Post Office.
