RANCH OF STARK'S ft j IN PORTLAND fSZPW Tk Northwtit'i Uadiaj Vacuum CWjntr Star" t. jch 1958 Pity the poor worker who had to stay inside Saturday instead of being outdoors to enjoy the fine spring day. With the sun shining, the air warm and the first spring flowers in bloom, its mighty hard to sit at the type writer or stay behind the count er as so many must do. There was plenty of evidence of those who were enjoying the day,; however, as we hurried home for lunch and back again. Two or three yards had small girls with dolls and doll buggies out to play house on the lawn, a plowed field had four little boys busy with .rocks, sticks . and small shovels, and we met youth ful riders out to enjoy the warm day on horseback. The first spring days are good in many ways. They bring the sound of the little frogs, cheer fully croaking away from the pastures and orchard ditches in the early evening, and the brisk winds which dry the lines of clothing in a jiffy and leave them with a smell which is more delightful than expensive per fume. As for the gardener, there is nothing more satisfying than the first spring days with the violets, winter iris, yellow jasmine and daffodils beginning to bloom and the sun wanning his body as he bends to his task with shovel, rake and hoe. Oregonians going to New York City soon become frustrated if not downright enraged with the "smug provincialism" of that great city arcording to Mrs. Rob ert E. Dodge, formerly of Ash land. The Dodges went to New York last fall in order that Mr. Dodge might study at New York uni versity for a doctor's degree, and by thus time are beginning to think longingly of Oregon, ac cording to a recent letter written by Mrs. Dodge to friends. "We came last fall with the rosy glow of anticipation of spending two years in the city of cities," she wrote. "As has been the experience of other Oregon ians with whom we have com pared notes, we have had a ter rific deflation. It seems to us that New York should have the op portunity to grow out of its smug provincialism and be made aware of the rest of the United States. And certainly, the west coast should stand a little more erect in pride of its stride ahead. "There are many 'greats to see in New York, of course the Metropolitan museum, Frick museum, old, pinched lower Manhattan's business area, Rockefeller center, the Hayden planetarium, the United Nations buildings and the little (and it is a very small area) vicious world of Broadway shows." Mrs. Dodge continued by say ing that New York is a pathetic, bragging, politically rotten, run down at the heel, fabulous city and adds that enlightenment about the city should come from an Oregonian because of the erroneous conceptions which 2-4998 ST) ' New Yorkers have of this state. She labels them both amazing and humorous. "The headmaster In the chil dren's school was amazed to hear that Oregon is not one of the coldest points in the United States," she w r o t e. "Ellen's teacher (seventh grade) placed Oregon as the most northern state in the west. A friend we have made here, a successful production manager4 for NBC's television shows, did not know Oregon had a coast line. "My story of stories is from our first taxi drive after our ar rival. We entered the cab, gave directions, even to the route to be followed in best New York form so we thought. As we set tled back the 'cabby asked Where you folks from? "After we had answered he said 'Oregon? They've got lots of snakes out there, right? "Bob misunderstood. He thought the driver said 'steaks' so replied in a very positive and proud affirmative. Then the driver started to discuss the de gree of poison attributed to our fine snakes which finally brought the four of us to such a state of hilarity that we left the poor taxi fellow convinced that not only snakes, but mighty screwy people came from the great wild area the other side of the Hud son river!" Women golfers of Rogue Val ley Country club astounded themselves Thursday by turning out more than 100 strong for the opening luncheon and play of the spring season. The March wind across the course seemed only a few degrees above freez ing, but about a dozen women started bravely out to play after luncheon was over, and about 30 women turned out for their first lesson. With all this interest, of ficers and "old timers" were tell ing one another that it's going to be a wonderful year. Only one incident marred the afternoon. That was when Mrs. Belle Schenck, one of the finest of the women players and one of the most enthusiastic golfers of the club, had a finger smashed when the brisk wind slammed one of the doors of the pro shop shop on her hand. Mrs. William J. Miller, dy Ramie club president, conducted an efficient business meeting during luncheon, thereby win ning the plaudits of several mem bers who took time out after wards to hand out a word of praise. Mrs. Miller introduced every woman present during the meet ing, and in many instances had an interesting word or tvo to say about the various members. When she came to Mrs. Jack Walker, who was the county chairman for the recent chest x-ray campaign, she said "Next is Adra Walker. Adra will be able to play golf now that she hag that x-ray campaign off her chest." Through the . howls of laughter, Mrs. Miller insisted that the pun was unintentional, but no one seemed to believe her. O. S.

Virginia Doctor bays Shakespeare Was Gerontologist St Louis (U.R) William Shakespeare was a gerontolo gist,, according to Dr. Walter E. Vest of Huntington, W. Va. Dr. Vest, whose vocation is medicine and whose avocation is I English literature, made his ex position at the International Gerontological Society's second congress on the problems of aging. He said the immortal bard un derstood full well both the physiological ' and pathological characteristics of senescence and he quoted abundantly from the master's works to prove his point. The most nearly perfect of Shakespeare s biological de scription, he said, is the depict ing of the "Seven Ages of Man" in "As You Like It." In 28 lines the melancholy and philosophic character, Jacques, pictures the entire life' span from cradle to grave, Dr. Vest said. Lines Quoted He quoted the sixth and sev enth ages as "the most pertinent to gerontology." They are: The sixth age shifts Into the lean and slipper'd pan taloon, With spectacles on nose and pouch on side, His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide For his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice, Turning again toward ehildish treble, pipes And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all, That ends this strange eventful hisory, In his second childishness and mere oblivion, Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything. Dr. Vest also quotes the scene in Shakespeare's King Lear where the king, apparently feel ing a tightness in his throat, calls to an attendant, "Pray you, undo this button: Thank you, sir." Then he falls dead. Ahead of Medicine This probably was "a cardiac death from its suddenness," Dr. Vest said. He said the portrayel of Lear was centuries ahead of medicine. Dr. Vest also notes merry old Falstaff remarked that old men have "bitterness of gall," and, although the bard accents the sad and somber aspects of aging, Guests Here Dr. Gertrude McGill and Miss Marie McGill, , Seattle, Wash., are spending the week-end with their niece, Mrs. S. D. Earhart, 11 North Peach street The two women are en route to Califor nia. Dr. McGill is a retired dentist. he sometimes hit on the brighter side. When old Adam pleads in "As You Like It" for Orlando to take him along, he said, "I never did apply hot and rebellious liquors to my blood."
