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.

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.

When Oscar Hanson and Roland
Anderson show up for coffee to
day at Polly's (on the corner), my
guess is tnat Marie Kiiey, oenina
the counter, will pick up the check.
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.

bar of industrial steel in America

Go Underground?
Ilulletin HtafT members are being asked frequently
those days:
"What are you (joint: to do when the jaywalking ordi
nance becomes effective?"
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.
Of course, we might claim pioneer prioritv, under
which old established routes were kept open in the range
country in the homosteading epoch.
Hut a friend comes up with another suggestion to
keep tho shortcut open between newspaper and Post Of
fice. He asked :
"Why not go underground?"
