Maple Removed
Trom Posfoffice
A oft maple tree planted at
the time the pstoffice grounds
were landscaped following con
struction of the new building
was taken out Tuesday. This
was done because the fast grow
ing maple would soon over
shadow the mimosa or silk tree
that is immediately to the east.
Two English walnut trees that
occupies places in the curbing
at the southwest and northeast
corners of the grounds have
been dug out because both had
died.
A few years ago an argument
arose concerning the correct
name of the mimosa tree, ad
mittedly the common designa
tion. An attractive plaque was
set up beside It by a garden club
giving it a certain designation.
A few nights later the plaque
disappeared.
By the way of heading off
further controversy, Postmaster
Albert C. Gragg had the tree's
botanical origin traced and list
ed the following names: "Albiz
lia", "Julibrissin", "Mimosa"
"Silk tree."
The tree Is located along the
State street side of the grounds
east of the driveway.

ILLEGAL TRAFFIC OVER BORDER
EAST TO TAKE BACK-SEAT
Runaway Czech Boys
Want to Go to U.S.
By RICHARD KASISCHKE
Prague In America little boys used to run away from home to
go west to be cowboys."
In Communist-run Czechoslovakia some little boys run away
to try to go to America.
The boys don t make it, but lots of their elders do. And not all
of them are famous tennis stars'
like Jaroslav Drobny or well
known diplomats or politicians
like those now In exile.
Nobody knows hew many
Ciech people sneak or bribe
their way across the nation's
western borders to Germany
r Austria.,
But at least a hint at the
volume of this Illegal traffic
la contained In the Official
Gasette of the Czechoslovak
Republic, which weekly car
ries scores of names of persons
whose property has been con
fiscated by the government
because they have departed
illegally.
Filbert Sale
Control Sought
Washingon, Sept. 14 ) The
agriculture department announ
ced today it will seek Industry
approval of a proposed federal
marketing agreement and order
to regulate the sale of filberts
grown in Oregon and Washing
ton. The program is designed, the
department said, to promote or
derly marketing conditions and
to improve grower prices.
The program would permit
limitations on interstate ship
ments through regulations on
sizes and quality. It would be
aimed at keeping low grade sur
pluses off the market.
The proposal will be submit
ted to a referendum of grow
ers as soon as possible, the de
partment said. It must be ap
proved by at least two-thirds
of those voting.
The department said the pro

In these columns have been
found the names of persons
known to have taken it on the
lam for political reasons, and
the conclusion is that most of
the confiscations are made for
this reason.
But the story of the kids who
don't make it to the west was
overheard by an Associated
Press reporter recently in a bar
ber shop.
The barber was trimming
the hair of a Czech youngster.
He addressed his customer:
"Well, how are things In
America?"
"Don't know," replied the
youngster. "We were stopped
at the border."
With four companions he had
run away with a camping outfit
and some food and tried to make
it to the U.S. zone of Germany
and beyond.
"We got sent back," said the
boy, "but maybe later."
"Maybe later" is a sadly hope
ful refrain from many Czechs
who yearn to get out of their
country.
Nowadays, with the com in
form mad at that rebel, Tito,
they ean't even go to Yugo
slavia. An American visitor sitting In
the Alcron, Prague's leading
hotel, remarked the other day
to a Czech guest at dinner, his
words resounding through the
dining room:
"You'd give your right arm
for my passport, wouldn't you?"
The Czech frankly said, "yes. '
Portland Gets Rating as
One of Fashion Centers
Hollywood, Sept. 14 U.R The Southern California Fashion
Institute today challenged the east as a fashion-setter by nam
ing singing star Dinah Shore as the "best-dressed woman in
America."
The songstress headed a "best-dressed 10" list which for the
first time in fashion history In-
eluded a predominance of west
ern women.
"Los Angeles, San Francisco,
Santa Barbara, Portland and
Seattle have become important
centers of fashion, and the east
must resign itself tc taking a
back seat," Georgia Kay, presi
dent of the SCFI, declared.
On the best-dressed list, along
with Miss Shore, were:
Mrs. Jules Stein, wife of the
board chairman of Music Cor
poration of America; Mrs. Jack
Benny (Mary Livingston to ra
dio fans); Mrs. Bernard Gianni
ni of the California banking
family; Mrs. Charles Wrights
man, wife of the oil tycoon; Ina
Claire Wallace, actress and San
Francisco socialite; Anita Colby,
advertising executive; Mrs. Wil
liam Rhinelander Stewart, east
ern socialite; Mrs. Louis B.
Mayer, wife of the MGM execu
tive: and actress Loretta Young.
His answer also echoed through
out the room, as guests and
waiters smiled.
AP Newsfeatures
Absent from the list were
Mrs. Harrison Williams, Mrs
Byron Foy, Mrs. Leland (Slim)
Hayward, and Mrs. William Pa
ley, all of whom have been on
"best - dressed" lists for many
years.
"Eastern socialites no longer
are setting the pace for the well-
dressed women of the United
States," Miss Kay said. "A sur
vey which we made shows that
professional and career women
are taking the lead in fashions.
Even more important, the west
coast leads the east in the pro
portionate number of really
well-dressed women."
JUST 4000 YEARS AGO
Early Americans Kept Up
With Times with Weapons
By PAIL F. ELLIS
New York, Sept. 14 U(! Early Americans who lived on the
shores of a lake in New Mexico about 4.000 years ago "kept
up with the times in making more effective weapons to kill
game and their enemies, an anthropologist reported today.
The ancient American, how-'
ever; was slow in changing the
style of his cooking utensils,

As time went on, he said, ar

From the studies, Dr. Dick

He said that 17 different types
of projectiles had been found in
