JACK OF THE BEAN STOCK
Stayton Beans to Be Sent
To Boston's Mayor Curley
By WILLIAM WARREN
Talk about carrying coals to Newcastle a community in the
Cascades of Oregon is about to bear beans to Boston.
Stayton heart of the succotash belt here a bean field, there
a corn patch, here a bean there a corn, everywhere a succotash
is holding its annual bean festival late this month.
Among the
WlllUm WsrrtD
new switcnes
for f e s 1 1 vals
dreamed up byf
enterpr -i sing
Manager Gene
Malecki is the
idea of having
a Jack of the
Beanstalk i n -stead
of the ev
er present festi
val queen.
And as soon
as he is chosen, from a group
of eight grinning and boisterous
boys, he will hop a plane for
Boston, bearing with him a case
of famed Santiam beans to be
presented to Major James N.
Curly.
Mayor Curly is going along
with the gag and pitching it
right back. He wired Malecki
today saying Jack of the Bean
stock will be met at the East
Boston airport July 22 and ex
tended the courtesy of the famed
bean city of Massachusetts.
Said Curly:
"In return for the case of
beans you propose giving us we
will present Jack with a pot of
the best beans in the world
Boston baked beans."
"
Among the candidates - for
Jack of the Beanstock is one
true son of the bean fields. His
father is a bean picker. So is his
mother. And he plans to pitch
in when he's old enough.
Stayton is going all out to pay
tribute to the bean, the tasty
vegetable which constitutes one
of the principal crops of the
Santiam valley and conse
quently one of the main sources
of income for Stayton.
Festivities will open July 26
and continue unrelenting
through Sunday, June 30.
In preparation for this vear's
bean bust 15th in annual event
building a large community hall,
with a trussed roof to allow a
large floor space for dancing.
And nightly one of the feature
attractions of the festival will
be held on this dance floor the
Santiam Bean ball.
Of course, there'll be a carni
val staged by the Browning
Carnival Co. which opened in
Stayton s"ome 40 years ago, as
one of its first stands.
And as an added attraction,
there'll be a daily bean - hole
bean feed with beans served
free to the guests, courtesy of
the Santiam No. 1 crop.
What's a bean-hole bean feed?
Well, you dig a trench some two
feet deep or so. You line it with
red hot coals. You place beans,
beans, beans and more beans in
five-gallon tins, along with
plenty of bacon, suggestions of
garlic and other seasonings, put
the tins on the red hot coals,
cover the whole batch with dirt.
and let 'em stew in their own
juice until they're ready for in
take.
Yes, they're getting ready to
bow to the bean in a big way at
Stayton come July 26.
And as a fitting tribute to
the succulent vegetable, they're
going to send their emissary, not
a queen, but a freckle-faced boy
(all candidates have 'em), Jack
of the Beanstock, probably his
tory's first ambassador to bear
beans to Boston, the land of the
bean and the cod.
