NEUBERGER pacul Wnur, Tba OrtcosiM When the American people think of the Pacific northwest they think of a place like Spirit lake a place with a great frosty mountain, blue water and ateep evergreen hills. No trav eler who goes there is ever dis appointed. With its panorama of water, peak and sky, it sat isfies all ideas of what the northwest should be. Spirit lake has appeared In more railroad booklets, tourist folders and calendar covers than any other Pacific north west scene. It has practically become a symbol of the region. Today you can drive to Spirit lake and see the spectacle in reality almost as easily as you look at it on the calendar which hangs above the kitchen stove. A 67-mile drive north on U. S. 89 to the Washington town of Castle Rock is followed by a 48 mile Journey up to the lake on a Washington state road. Trip Once Difficult Once upon a time the Journey to Spirit lake was a far mora difficult and hazardous under taking. At one time the road to Spirit lake would have worn down the constitution of a Rocky moun tain goat. After traveling over it you were qualified for mem bership in the foreign legion or the Canadian mounted. Making the trip in a recent AAA-Oregonian motorlog we speculated as to when the Green a. The white AAA-motorloa car stoos on the Spirit Lake road a mile and a half from (ha lake. From this point, the view of Mount St. Helens, rearing its frosty bulk, is spectacular. Mountain loop would begin and we would have to get out and stride over ruts and wade in mud ankle deep. Suddenly Mount St. Helens towered above us like a monstrous dish of vanilla Ice cream. Through the trees we could see a swath of blue water. Where were we? Then all at once it dawned upon us that we were at Spirit lake, that the Green Mountain stretch was no more and that it is an easy drive to this pic- TauJe Zive SPIRIT MT.ST. JiTZZN?

The lake is In the Columbia national forest, on the north side of Mount St. Helens. With in five miles of the water's edge, timberline on the mountain straggles out into great slopes of ice and pummice. When the lake is limpid and smooth the vast peak is reflected in its surface. Timberline Road Built A road built by the United States forest service stretches from the lake to Timberline. Snowdrifts compelled us to walk the final mile, but by the time this motorlog appears the timberline road, according to Forest Guard Samuelson, will be accessible all the way. The road is narrow and winding, yet it is safe and can be negotiated in second gear. Trees guard the precipitous drops. No trav eler will get dizzy. There is plenty to do at Spirit lake, besides look at the mag nificent scenery. Fishing is fair, boating and swimming are good. Once in a while wind off the mountain's stern slopes kicks the lake into a miniature Eng lish channel. Then rowboats and outboard motors receive in extra thrill, as waves break across the bow and spank against the planking. Trout live in the lake, but fishing is better in the white -fleeced Toutle river, which forms the outlet Most anglers try the Toutle rather than Spirit lake itself. MODEL AIRPLANES LOST IN FLIGHT; No Treasure Santa Cruz, Cal.

Medford Prop Nuts, model airplane club, had preview today of the contest scheduled for next Sunday at 9 a. m. at the flying field on the Agate desert half a mile south of Bybee bridge. In a final tuning up at the field Sunday, Ed Sims sent his model plane aloft for 24 min utes and 45 seconds and Arlon Skinner's model went out of sight in 30 minutes and was lost. Allen Buckingham lost his plane last Saturday. He watch ed it for 60 minutes and then it disappeared into a cloud. Rewards of $5 and S3 re spectively have been offered for the return of Buckingham's six-foot yellow and black ship and Skinner's four-foot black and red plane. Anyone finding or knowing anything about the lost planes may telephone the club's secretary, Don Cook, at 4219 after 6 p. m. or notify j the owners themselves.

Shortage Cited He said he was not familiar with the steel situation but cited a dangerous shortage on which (OPM's) Gano Dunn made a widely publicized revised report showing that the needs had been definitely underestimated. "Those who accept technical responsibilities in this tragic hour should be competent and trustworthy. I have not found this to be true in connection with power and aluminum any where in several governmental ofiices." He praised army engineers, who listened to his advice on power, but he said to other of ficials his "importunities resem bled only the proverbial voice crying in the wilderness " 'I demand to be informed whv it is necessary to use coal and to make the people sacri fice necessities of life in order to locate great defense indus tries in sections in which there is a definite power shortage.

Mr. McReynolds suggested that as many as possible call at the office to take the examina tion or renew their licenses dur ing week days as Saturdays are likely to be crowded from now on. Last Saturday 441 drivers were licensed through the Med ford office and at times during the day cars were lined up bumper to bumper for two blocks. This waiting can be avoided if applicants will call at the office on week days, Mr. McReynolds emphasized.
