Thursday, October 21, 1954 THE CAPITAL JOURN'ALaltm, Oregon SECTION I Pag T FROM- Peg in Washington -By ALENE (PEG) PHILLIPS - Washington, D. C, Oct. 18 Dear Marian: Hurricane Hazel left us with nme beautiful fall days to relish. And with some 140,000 homes in the area needing attention on light, power, and telephone out ages. While the District proper missed the full force of the storm, there were windows nut in stores, many trees down all over the city, and gusts up to 98-miles per hour to report at the air. port. Sunday morning brunching hy an open window to enjoy the fresh, sunny day, the sound of hammering on an iron railing across the street where a tall tree had crashed into the porch was matched by some birds singing their hearts out as though spring were near at hand. Wonder what cellar they flew to when the tree tops were bouncing and bending. When word was sent to all of fices on Friday at one o'clock to end everyone home, the rain and wind outside merely re sembled a good March-day blow In Salem, and one wondered at the precautionary measure. How ever, the traffic problem at the height of the storm was what was anticipated. Secretary McKay and a few of us remained at the office until four and still it was not worse than a tree-tossing wind at home. But evidence was everywhere an hour later that it really had been quite a "blow." Just to cite one problem within the District, on Sunday 600 truck loads of debris were removed from the streets and that is re ported to be only one-sixth of the job to be done. Sauntering home from a res taurant the evening before the storm, I had been enjoying the gentle, balmy breeze that was rustling the dry leaves, and sav oring the sights and sounds of Washington. In approaching the Russian Embassy, Where there arc so few signs of life ordinarily windows darkened in the front of the building and a cold look about the place a hatless, coat- less young girl walked tn the door, rang, and was admitted just as I was opposite the en trance. The bright red of satin damask coverings on furniture in the cntrai.ee hall was revealed momentarily, a surprisingly gay note in contrast to the exterior. Just next door is the wide front of the red brick University Club, another contrast in more than exteriors. A couple blocks fur ther, an old mansion, converted into flats, has red brick turrets ornately crowning the tail house. From an upper floor, a soprano was hitting what she must have hoped was high "c." Then, a hotel with a distinguished name from which came a strong odor of cabbage cooking. Smelled good, too. Two East Indian women came scurrying along. their bright blue, yellow and red saris glimmering in the dusk. And finally an enceinte young girl, not more than a teen-ager, whose face was almost as arrest ing as that of the $1,500,000 Alba Madonna in the National Gallery oi Art btruck by the appealing similarity, I almost missed my own apartment entrance. Before Secretary McKay re turned to Washington mid-week, several visitors from Oregon were in touch with the office. Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Myers, of Salem. Mrs. Agnes Booth, county school superintendent, and Miss Flor ence Bcardsley, of the State De partment of Education, were among the group, the latter two here for educational meetings. All four made special tours of the White House. County Judge Rex Hartley sent greetings to the Secretary when he by chance met an Interior Department staff member at a historical society meeting here. Mrs. Marie Ilavill, postmaster at Beaverereek, and Mrs. Mary E. Horn, postmaster at Jennings Lodge, called on the Secretary during their Washing ton visit following the postmas ters convention in Philadelphia. Captain Ted Dcmezas, of Mount Angel, now stationed at Mobile, Alabama, conveyed by telephone a message from his wife, the for mer Delores Ebner, of Salem and Mount Angel, whose visits home have not coincided with mine. With their two small sons, they have been at Mobile for a couple of years. The C. E. Hadleys, of Long view, Washington, parents of Wayne Hariley, of Salem, will be here this week and the McKays are planning some luncheons and dinners for their son-in-law's family. The fall season is starting off with a flourish, of that more to morrow. Peg.
