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.
