Salem, Oregon, Saturday, March" 80, 1957 Page 8 Section 1 THE CAPITAL JOURNAE Pretty, But Watch Out When They Wilt V i Skunk cabbage, flowering in this bog near Neotsu, heralds the coming of spring for coastal inhabitants. This member of the arum family deserves Its name only when the flowers are wilted or the stems crushed. Its roots were an Item of food among the Indians. (Capital Journal Fhoto) Traditional Skunk Cabbage Ushers in Coastal Springtime By BEN MAXWELL Capital Journal Writer When the skunk cabbage blooms, those at the coast know that spring has come. Skunk cabbage, a member of the arum family and botanically known as lysichiton camlschatcense, belies its name. When the bright yellow flowers are fresh their odor is sweet, almost unpleasantly sweet. Only when the flowers have wilted or the stems are damaged does skunk cabbage become its name. The story is told of a Swedish girl, once employed at the old Agate Beach Hotel. She was unfamiliar with local flora and fauna. A small banquet for the very select was scheduled and the Swedish girl was told to decorate the room with flow , ers and then close the room to keep other patrons out. She placed bouquets of skunk cabbage on the tables and on the sideboard, admired her performance and closed the door just as she had been instructed to do. When the dining room was opened, the wilted skunk cabbage had maintained its reputation. Guests dined elsewhere and It took three days to air out the hotel. Lysichiton literally means the act of loosening of a chiton, which was a tunic in classical times. The plant is found from Japan o North America and flowers abun dantly from March until May in swales and swamps. Hoots of skunk cabbage are peppery and sought for by bear and elk as a food. Among coastal Indians the root was an item of diet, particularly in the spring when famine threatened. Cooking destroys much of the strong and unpleasant flavor of Iho root.

OREGON STATE COLLEGE (SpecinD A proposal tinder con sideration at Oregon Stale College to merge the dairy department with two other departments would strengthen dairy research and leaching, not abandon or weak en the program, V. E. Price, dean of agriculture, said today. The plan, still in the discussion stage, would combine dairy pro duction work wilh animal husband ry, Price reported. The joint oper ation would be designated as the department of dairy and animal husbandry, with no major changes in functions or make-up of exist ing research and teaching work Dairy manufacturing work now conducted in the dairy department would no transferred to the food technology department. Economy And Efficiency Price said the consolidation pro- grum was being considered for reasons of "economy and effi ciency." It is not a new venture, lie noted. Sixteen other land-grant colleges, including Cornell, Cali fornia and Iowa Stale, have their dairy and animal husbandry work combined. Reports and rumors that the new program would subordinate dairy husbandry to animal husbandry are false and misleading, the dean insisted. The proposal came in for special attention at lliis lime, he said, be cause the headships of both the dairy husbandry and animal hus bandry departments will be vacant July 1: P. M. Brandt, head of dairy, will retire this year and John Landers, acting head of ani mal husbandry since Fred F. Mc Kcnzie left in September for a for eign assignment, plans to take leave next year for advanced study. Would Save $15,000 The two departments share the same building, Wilhycomhc Hall, built in 1032. Price said the consolidation would reduce administrative costs by $15,000 annually. These funds could be used to employ badly needed research workers. He pointed to the "great simi larity of scientific training and technical knowledge for the con duct of the research and teaching work in dairy husbandry and ani mal husbandry. Basic animal nu trition is the same in both. Animal physiology, animal reproduction and many of the animal disease problems arc much the same. North Salt in PTA To Hear Brooks Dr. Dean K.

I Let's Decorate RADIANT GLASSUEAT "Tha Sunshine Heil" For Free Estimate PHONE EM 46263 CLEAN SAFE - MODERN 1M0 Fairgrounds Rend SALK.M, ORKC.ON Oh, the good clean smell of Spring in the air! The tickling, vigor and crispness of it! A daphne fragrance drifts across the garden, occasionally mingled with the heady perfume of hya cinths. They catch our eye in doorway plantings of rose, white and a blue like none other. ... In (he studio our hands travel across fabric samples and we find a Spring-like ecstasy in seeing the new chintzes, the floral cottons of rose and blue on clean white backgrounds,, and the new tex tures whose colors arc clean and fresh. . . . We think of the drab room which we had visited late lya dining room through an arch from a living room little used now since the addition of a family room had toccn made at the other side of the kitchen. . . . What a transformation could be wrought here! We could paint the walls hyacinth blue to go wilh the lighter blue of the ad joining living room and the dark er blue of Ike wall-to-wall car pet. The woodwork should be painted white. . . . The wide ex panse nt plain wall which we see from the living room could be opened to reveal a ten-foot bay window in which we could place a curved sofa covered in our beautiful, quilted floral cotton which shows rose and blue flow ers on a while ground. ... At the window our silky, crisp, white chintz made Into ruffled curtains at the sides and held back very nign, under a ruttlcd valance, would be fresh and pretty. . . . To flank the sofa let's use cherry tables holding crystal lamps with bright rose shades and in front of it our oval Victorian coffee table with the white marble top. . . . We could break through the kitchen wall at our left to use the old chimney flue for a small fireplace which we'll paint white. At cither side Degas floral prints in white frames could be hung against the blue wall. . . . Let's place the old spinet piano, sprayed w hite wilh a glaze of gold against Hie opposite wall from the fireplace, using a light hya cinth hluo on the bench scat. . . . At either side of the arch and drawn into comfortable angles to the room let's place two wing back chairs of the bright rose of our lamp shades and behind them i on the wall hang large wall brackets of crystal with white satin shades to bring a sparkle across the room. , . . Now, Spring has invaded the drab, little room so that we might enjoy its fresh ness through long months to come.
