Closing of Races Because of Fog Is Issue Before Board By WILLIAM WARREN i United Presi Correspondent) The theme song of this might be: Crazy over horses, horses, horses. A small group of horse owners is reported to be attempting to put Cecil Edwards, racing steward for the State Racing Commission in the dog house. A metaphor that is not too inappropriate inasmuch as Edwards also presides as steward when the Multnomah Kennel club holds its dog races. Complaints against Edwards have not been made in writing as yet, but in an oral petition to Gov. Paul L. Patterson the man who appoints the commissioners and who is responsible for the com missionEdwards has been repre- Garden Road Church Starting Commissary The Garden Road Christian church is starting a commissary of supplies to meet any need here and elsewhere. Just now a call is being made for clean, used cloth ing, all types and sizes. It may be delivered at the church, 4085 Mar ket street, or pick up service may be obtained by dialing 4-6453. PROFOUND ANSWER OKLAHOMA CITY tfi-A fourth grader raised his hand to tell Mrs. Ruth Clark, Rancho Village teach er, exactly what an atom is. "That's what you mine from geranium," he explained. sented as "tyranieal and arbi trary." Cited as an instance of this is the fact that Edwards ordered the races closed midway of a program the last night of racing at Port land .Meadows last Oct. 10 because of fog and unsafe condi tions. Five stewards concurred in the necessity of closing, but Ed wards says he is willing to accept the entire responsibility for the decision. One horse owner said the deci sion cost him "thousands of dol lars." The race probably referred to was the $5000 futurity. Edwards says the race involved two year olds "the wild babies of racing" and the reason he stopped the pro gram was he was afraid that eith er horses or jockeys or both would be hurt. The jockeys did not want to race. The last race that was run found two riders goiig to the outside fence. The camera was not able to pierce the fog accurately to depict the winners. The judges, in cluding Edwards, were standing on the track to call the finish. No one including the announcer could really sec the running of the race. And since the law so contemplates that races should be observed and supervised, Edwards says he rea soned it was high time to call a halt. Those wlio champion Edwards say they admire him because of his thorough knowledge of horses. Edwards is convinced that the real start of the trouble goes back to the 1953 Legislature when a group of breeders sought legislation to increase the num ber of days of racing from 100 to 106 as the maximum for any county, fairs excepted. Edwards then was a member of the Board of Directors ot the Breeders Association and opposed the add ed days. He reasoned that in earlier days more than 100 days were permissible. Edwards says that as long as he is racing steward he will try to keep on aiming at the objec tive of the sport of kings the improvement of the breed. 3-TRANSISTOR "Roypl.T" HEARING AID Operates for only 15f? a month instead of H to 30 a day for old-type vacuum tube aids!

Cor don (R-Ore) says It has been agreed that nearly half a proposed 21 million board feet lumber ship ment for Korea will be purchased in the United States. The 21,278,000 board foot order is to be used for reconstruction and rehabilitation work in' Korea. Cordon aides said initial plans called for the lumber to be pur chased without restriction on its source. But discussions with the military, they said, have resulted in agreement that at least 9,074,. 000 board feet will be purchased in the United States. This portion of the shipment has been taken from present Army stocks and is to be replaced. Efforts are under way, they said, to place the same restriction on the remaining 12,204,000 board feet. PRISON GOES MODERN INDIANAPOLIS (UP) Pri soners at Indiana State Peniten tiary at Michigan City have been placed on an eight-hour day and a five-day week. Officials said prisoners could devote Saturday and Sundays to "education, baths and haircuts." From Hawaii: Just returned from town and was nearly caught in a terrific tropical downpour. Water is over the curb here at our cor ner, the drains can't carry it away fast enough; ali in a half hour! It's still thundering as the rain clouds come down the mountains but the sun is shin ing as it sinks into the ocean. We're loving every minute of our stay, and beginning to boast a fairly decent tan. The beach where we swim is won derful. The water has been about 74 degrees every time we've been in! It's ' terribly hard to tear ourselves away to go sightseeing. Were fortunate to have friends here. They've extend ed true Hawaiian hospitality. The other day they drove us around this island. Oahu. Past ; rearl Harbor, through the ! largest pineapple fields, and on l around the north side via the jvamunamena nignway wnicn circles the island. The break ers on the rocky and coral reefed northerly side reminded me of our breakers on the Ore gon coast, but broken by quiet bays where swimming and fishing were possible. We en joyed a picnic lunch on trie sand at Kewela Bay, where we watched little dark youngsters hunt for interesting marine life among the rocks and coral and also fishermen casting out their lines for surf fishing. A beautiful sight against the blue ot the bay, palm trees swaying in the breeze. Passed by fish ing nets drying in the sun, where they have "hukilaus"' for the fishing village and tourists alike, fish and poi feasts after the catch. Most intriguing to me was the garden club tour open to visitors last Friday. Four dif ferent homes are opened twice each month. Like a postman on a holiday, I wouldn't have missed this opportunity for anything! Each home on this tour was on Diamond Head and had been designed for island living. A combination of out door and indoor living that is thoroughly delightful. One new home was planned with a central lanai which overlooked the beautifully landscaped gar dens and on to Waikiki Beach and the blue ocean. The lanai was outdoor living space, gar den room, party room (with bar), entrance hall and pass hall! The front door opened onto this lanai. with the din ing room 'and kitchen area forming one wing, and the large living room and bed rooms forming a completely separate wing. The picture windows in the living room were installed with shutters while the french doors to the lanai and to the bedroom walk were curtained with patterned drapery fabric, contributing to the overall airy and open feeling. , It was interesting to note the use of white walls and woodwork. All four homes were in white, with much of the upholstery in white also. It was obvious that white made everything look fresh and cool, and a perfect contrast to the lush greenery and brilliant flora hues everywhere. Each home shown had treas ures from the Far East. Beau tiful teokwood tables, and pearl inlaid pieces that made me sigh. Lovely Chinese screens and hangings, priceless imports which were given proper importance against the simple background of white coral brick or panelling. The gardens and courts were fabulous and breathtak ing bursts of bouganvillia, hib iscus, spider lily, and on and on, against the luscious back drop of foliage. It's hard to describe. One more week and I'll be back in my old stamping ground, renewed in spirit and enthusiasm. Right now I hate to think of leaving this garden spot in the Pacific, but when the time comes, I know I'll be glad to be home. Alo ha, Mary Thomas Interior Decorator I Roberts Bros.
