S outhern O regon News Review. Thursday, March 25, 1948 T X 7 Classified Department ; FICTION f C o rn e r L T JOINED the crowd gathered on IM P R O M P T By FLORENCE BAUGH HABBIT3 & SKINS Another said, seriously, “That’s right. My boy knew him. He wasn’t a coward. If he’s in that lake he was murdered.” A siren wailed and the crowd fell back to make room for another pa trol car which drew up alongside the green sedan. “There's Old Doc Warren,” someone in the crowd said as an elderly man stepped out of the car. I worked my way toward the cars. I could hear Old Doc Warren talk ing. “Yes, this is his car. ' He has been working hard—too hard, but what doctor hasn’t these days? So far as I know he has no enemies, but I don’t believe my son would commit suicide!” There was another stir of excite ment. I threaded my way back to the rail to see if this time they had really found him. The boys in the boats were hav ing difficulty hauling in the lines, but when the catch broke water we could see it was just a log. As they dropped it back the shrill whistle of the interurban reminded the bridge watching the crew dragging the lake above the dam. “Who are they searching for this tim e?” I asked as I pushed closer to the rail. “Young Doc Warren,” several an swered at once. I had never seen young William W’arren, but I knew about him—the whole town knew about him. He had joined the army with our Na tional Guard. The boys were still singing his praises. He had been through a lot at the front and had won the complete devotion of his men by his untiring efforts and unceasing good humor. He had re turned to his father’s clinic almost immediately upon his return to the States. I had heard little about him in recent months. “ What about the woman they were drtgging for yesterday?” I asked. “They found her earlier this merning. Plain case of suicide. But when the boats were coming in to the dock over there by those willows they found a man’s hat. It had his name inside—William Warren.” “And about the same time,” an other put in, “the police find this car on the bridge, out of gas and nobody around.” He pointed to a green sedan that several officers were shaking down. “They find a driver’s license on the steering post in the name of young Doc Warren. They figure something has hap pened to the Doc, so while they radio headquarters for a check the boats lower the grab hooks and start working again.” I edged my way over near a couple patrolmen who had arrived from headquarters. Calls to Doc Warren’s home, his office, the two hospitals, all brought the same re sponse: he wasn’t there. His wife had told the officers that he had left home early, before she and the children were up. He had come home late after an emergency operation, seemed unable to relax, and had spent a restless night. She had awakened while he was dress ing and asked if he had a call. He explained that he was just going out to clear the cobwebs from his mind. He had kissed her goodby. She had thought no more about it until the police called. I moved back to the rail to watch the boats as they trolled slowly toward us, the grappling hooks searching the lake bottom in the lane between them. The water was plenty choppy, a cold raw wind had | been blowing out of the north since yesterday. Nothing about the scene i seemed urgent. The boats moved [ slowly. The crowd just stood and watched, coat collars turned up j against the wind. , , , j j i Once again Pittsburgh is em- A young boy crawled under broi,ed fa a controversy over my arms to press himself against the rail, excited by his first-hand Stephen A.

Pittsburgh Council to Abandon Stephen Foster Memorial Home building, the city council declared that the rambling brick homestead has "ceased to have any value as a memorial.” The council therefore is deeding the property back to heirs of James H. Park, wealthy steelmaster who bought it in 1914 and gave it to the city with the stipulation that it be maintained as a museum containing a collection of Stephen Foster mementoes. Music-lovers of the city later raised $o00,000 to build an elaborate Gothic memorial to Foster on Uni versity of Pittsburgh campus. This memorial contains the largest col lection of Foster’s manuscripts and other belongings. It now is the mecca for thousands of visitors who formerly called at the Stephen Foster Memorial home. Another controversy over Foster raged in 1934 when Henry Ford bought what was claimed to be Foster’s “real birthplace” and moved it to his outdoor museum in Dear born, Mich. William McNair, Pitts- burgh’s mayor at the time, claimed the millionaire car manufacturer bought “the wrong house.” Mrs. Evelyn Foster Bomeweck of Detroit, a niece and biographer of Foster, said the composer was bom in a white frame cottage which was tom down and replaced in 1865 with the brick mansion which became the Stephen Foster Memorial home. Foster died in 1863. POULTRY. CHICKS & EQUIP. 1 j 4 Per cent ^he total grain and cereal cr°P in the United States, fig ures compiled by extension service entomologists indicate.

Making Lard To keep lard from becoming ran cid add two or three pounds of hy drogenated vegetable shortening to each 50 pounds of fresh lard—stir ring it in while the lard is still in the kettle. This commercial s.'iort- ening has been hardened by forc ing hydrogen gas through it, a proc ess which keeps the air or oxygen out of the lard, preventing it from oxydizing.
