Medford Woman Writes of Trip
in New England Hurricane
By Ethelyn Evans
(Notes on a motor trip from Au
gusta, Main to Washington, D. C.
Through the Hurricane)
Traditions Shattered: No longer
can the land of the Pilgrims look
down Its puritanical nose at Califor
nia quakea or Florida hurricanes. In
credibly, a breeze originating along
the South American coast lashed and
devastated old New England. Unpre
cedented but It happened.
Homeward Bound: All serene out
of Augusta, Wedneseday. September
31, 1938, account radio assurance
Florida's threatened hurricane was
heading seaward. A brief stop at his
toric old Portsmouth, New Hamp
shire, for luncheon of broiled Malno
lobster, starting merrily on about
three hours before the town waa par
tially wrecked and roads closed. Still
serene driving along New Hampshire
beaches, lazily debating a plan to
loiter a day or so. Since Just one
month before, to a day, we had been
admiring the Pacific, we luckily de
cided that, after all, most salt water
was pretty much alike and we would
n't stop. Soon the skies were over-,
cast a weird unearthly light the
wind caught up with us, sand was
pouring across the highway, and, a
few hours later, most beach resorts
on the northeast coast felt the full
fury of the storm. ,
Highlights: On to Boston! Falling
trees to the right tof us, telegraph
poles splitting like match stems to
the left of us, masses of writhing,
sputtering live wires, our heavy car
careening across the road despite
the n.h.'s (nice husband's) firmest
possible grip on the wheel, blinding
sheets of rain, wishing we might

elms slowly, majestically toppling
over their roots clinging and sav

plunge. Commonwealth avenue and
the foaming glass of a huge beer
sign dropping through a roof with
a mighty crash, trees going down
like duck-pins, the air full of twigs
and limbs, awnings torn to confetti
like ribbons, a woman blown Into a
lamp post and to the pavement

blocks away. The hotel Just as the
wind hit a 100 mile per hour velocity.
Absurdities: Admitting tl:at only

Capital Gossip
By Ethelyn Evans
Mrs. Roosevelt Busy
The giddy whirl starta early in the
national capital with the first lady
on a brief visit to the White House
to be honor guest at the Democratic
women's council reception and the
speaker and only woman present at
the Men's National Press club lunch
eon. Not even an Invitation for Mrs.
Malvlna Schelder, companion and
private secretary, or for Mrs. James
M. Helm, social secretary, two un
usually interesting women and un
doubtedly the real explanation of
how Mrs. Roosevelt can go and tafk
and do so much. And off again to
lecture and visit projects In Maine,
Rhode Island, Kentucky, Tennessee,
Pennsylvania, and back in the local
news picture with a press conference
on October 10th.
Early Rider
Early bird ramblers or horseback
riders sometimes thrill to a cheery,
democratic "good morning!", aa Mrs.
Roosevelt (an excellent rider) dashes
over the famous bridle paths In Rock
Creek park.
Three Teas
Gabble, gobble, git parties popular
name for the luncheon sans cards or
any entertainment following. Much
In vogue In hectic Washington where
most women hurry on to a lecture,
pause at one or more teas, hesitate
at some "at home" or reception, per
haps linger a bit at a cocktail session,
and still manage a dinner or concert
or evening affair or all three. We
remember finding Mrs. James J.
Davis, wife of the then secretary of
labor now senator from Pennsylvania,
"pouring" at three different teaam
the same afternoon.
Ethelyn Hull Evans (Mrs. R. M.
Evans) spent the summer visiting In
Medford with her mother, Mrs. Lottie
Daniels and her brother, Frank Hull.
During her sojourn hare she made
many friends throughout the valley
and figured prominently In social
activities as well aa club circles.
Mrs. Evans has lived in Washing
ton, D. c, for a number of years
where she takes an active part in
events of capital society and organi
zations. It is thought that her news
briefs of Washington life will be of
interest in this city. They will ap

Heroism: Governors, officials. Red

single, temporary lines of
communication again and again,
train crews and passengers cutting
trees from tracks all fighting fire,
rescuing, comforting and helping one

NEW FUEL OIL HERE
The F. E. Samson company yester
day announced the Installation of
equipment to handle Its own fuel
oil at lta warehouse located at Front

and a 13,000 gallon storage tank as
well as pumps and loading equipment

"We shall handle a super quality
oil In both furnace and stove oil
gradea produced by the Caminol
company of Hanford, California. This
oil is noted for its complete vapor
izing and through burning qualities,
leaving practically no soot or carbon
on burner pots or nozzles. We shall
handle this oil exclusively In this ter
ritory and feel that we are espe
cially fortunate In being able to se
cure this super-quality oil for our
many patrons," Mr. Samson said.
A new fuel truck will be purchased
to augment the one now In use and
will have the latest type pumps and
metering equipment making it pos
sible to deliver oil to the most dif
ficult tank locations at either home
or business locations, he added
With the new modern equipment
and central location of the supply
tanks the company will be able to
make oil deliveries promptly any
where In this territory. Patrons who
desire to take delivery at the plant
may do so.
W. N. Green, who has had a num
ber of years In the fuel oil business
and who is considered well qualified
to take care of fuel oil problems, will
be In charge of the fuel oil sales de
partment, Mr. Samson stated.

PRACTISE SHOOT
SCHEDULED TODAY
The last practice shoot at the
Medford Oun club before the open
ing of the pheasant season next Sat
urday will be held at the club
grounds this morning. The club In
vites all soattergunners and pheas
ant hunters to bring out their trusty
weapons and practice with the club,
with the same privileges the mem
bers enjoy, at 11 o'clock.
The pheasant season opening was
delayed until October 15, upon the
lnslstance of the Jackson County
Chamber of Commerce wild life com
mittee, which registered a protest
with the state game commission
when the season wss moved up from
October 15 to October 1. Jackson and
Josephine counties were finally mov
ed back to the later date to give the
hundreds of young pheasants, many
merely chicks in size, another two
weeks growth.
Jackson county sportsmen have
used every Influence with the state
game commission for many years to
open the pheasant season on Novem
ber 1 when the birds are more nearly
matured. The late broods of pheas
ants often fall to grow to a pound
in weight by the end of the present
October 31st season and It Is pointed
out many northern states do not
shoot pheasants until November and
into December.
