She is in Vienna, where she expects to make an extended stay.) By MRS. I. E. SCHULER Vienna, Austria The $64 question is this I certainly can't answer . who buys the things in the shops, who eats in the restaurants? Everything is as high as in America, with the ex ception of things made by hand like beautiful rings. I seldom see many people in stores. I have asked so many people and no body seems to know. Ernest Hauser in his article in the Saturday Evening Post speaks of some of these things. Although I would not have the temerity to question a Post writ er, I do not see some of the situ ations as he saw them. He was here but for a short time, and it is my understanding that he did not go out among the people to find out for nimseit. , For instance the opera. He spoke of the voices as being sec ond rate, the costumes moth eaten, and the settings old. Sev eral of their big name artists have gone to America, but there are thousands of magnificent voices left, and in that I am not expressing my own opinion. Europeans generally consider Viennese opera the best. I have been to five operas since I came, and this I know Mr. Hauser was wrong as to scenery and costumes. Four years ago what he said was true costumes were pathetically bad. But Salome, which we saw four years ago, and I have seen again this time, is an allustration. Now every thing is new, and very beautiful. I aw Aida have seen Aida this time, and the settings were as tounding in grandeur and mag nificence. Likes Effects I wish that Bill Patton could see the lighting effects. One in particular was unlike anything I had ever seen. You could not tell where the stage ended and PAULSEN'S THRIFT MARKET Free Parking CENTRAL POINT Thunder. July 17, 1852 Local Woman in Austria the back drop began. It was water and rocks, and you had the uncanny feeling of looking way off to the horizon. Another effect was moonlight on water, and the water rippled, and clouds were reflected from the sky onto the water. I am no judge of opera, but it was certainly good so far as I could tell. And this is another inconsis tency the opera house was packed from the front down stairs, to the fourth galleries where, above the seats, young people stood. My friends who go to San Francisco and pay what is it? $8 a seat will be in terested. I pay, in our money, 80 cents in the back down stairs, and 60c In the first gal lery. I saw at this price "The Magic Flute," "The Vogel handler," "The Masked Ball," and the two I mentioned. Another inconsistency so far as Americans are concerned to go into one of the opera houses you must pass a movie theater. Just no one seems to go in there. Everyone is going to the opera, which by the way starts at 7 o'clock. I live only a 10 minute walk from one of the opera houses. Mr. Hauser the '"Post" writer, spoke of Vienna as a city of in trigue. I asked my friend Mr. Ekern about that, and he said that undoubtedly there was much of it here, but that there is in almost any large European city, or America for that matter, if you are looking for it. I am not. Mr. Ekern also said that since The Third Man was film ed, that people liked to hear that sort of thing. A ' lot more ir relevant material I pass the door where the Third Man was killed, every time I go to a cer tain building. I have not been to the sewers yet, however, but I am planning to go. More inconsistencies. I have a beautiful apartment grand piano, oriental rugs, oil paint ings, antique Meisen dishes and figurines, complete maid service, even to breakfast in bed if I wish (which I don't) and my shoes pol ished, for which I pay in our money $28 a month, and under stand that I am grossly over paying; that I am practically supporting the family. But along with all this charming living I have access to an old tin bath tub for which I pay four schil lings a bath, and share with the family. Oh, yes I sleep on a foot high feather bed, and have handsome bed linen, and down quilts. I have four keys to ma niplate one to get into the big wrought iron gate which opens into a garden courtyard, one to open the building, one for the lit tle glass elevator, and one for the outer door to the apartment. The first day or two I would leave one or two of the "Schlus sels" in one or two of the doors and would have to trot down three flights of winding stairs after them. For some reason the little lift goes up, but not down. You punch the button, and it goes down all right but not you in it. If you will excuse the ex pression everything is so cock eyed. I have decided though, that we Americans are pretty snob bish about plumbing, baths and things. Tin tubs aren't so bad when you get used to them. You can't let the water get too hot is all. Sunday an Englishwoman took me to the Church of England for the morning service. It is for the English people who live in Vi enna. I felt as though I were having one of those experiences you read about of slipping for a short period into another time and existence or that Somerset Maugham had dressed them up for one of his movies. It was in teresting. The service is almost like the Episcopal service. After the rector had said a prayer for Queen Elizabeth and her family, to my surprise he said our prayer for the President of the United States. And more to my aston ishment he prayed that the American people be guided aright in their selection of a new president. Which brings me to something else about our politics. Many Austrians were invited to a large dinner party given by one of the men and his wife of the embassy. And I met a Baron Seiler, who said as first remark, "Do you think General Eisen hower can possibly win the Re publican primaries?" Then he went on to tell me that he didn't think it would make much dif ference anyway, saying, "I think wm CUE1 and DO NT lORGET..

FREE RECIPE FOLDER (Mejve ye ewhete variety f tW wonderful vm far M.CP. LEMON JUICE. Mr. Truman is being smart. He dropped out, and will be draft ed at the end, and he will win, no matter who runs." Then out of the great heap of my politi cal knowledge I came forth with this sage remark, "Oh, I don't think he wants it again, and De sides (I blush to think of telling this on myself) I don't think his wife wants him to run." But he just laughed, and said quite ala Walter Winchell "I predict he will." Then he said, and of course I was an authority on that too, "Just what is Bourbon?" His wife invited me to tea, and yesterday I went. In order to give him more idea about our political picture, I took the June Atlantic which had both Taft's and Eisenhower's foreign policy in it, and a Saturday Evening Post The Baron is 72 years old, and as he had been in diplomatic service under Franz Joseph, and had fought in two wars, he had extremely interesting stories to tell. One thing I must write and then I will close I had always understood that the Germans had bombed St. Stephans cathedral, and had blamed it on the Ameri cans. Baron Seiler said it is not true. He saw what happened. He had slipped out to watch the street fighting between the Rus sians and the Germans, and as he was hiding in a doorway near St. Stephans he suddenly saw rolls of smoke coming out of the top. The Germans had done it with artillery. It burned for a long time. I did not realize either that fighting went on right down the Graben one of the fine business streets and that for days dead people and horses lay on the streets, until the Aus trians could crawl out to clear them away. The house next to the Sellers was bombed that night also. The Austrians must have suffered badly, and as they are a peaceful people it must have been hard to reconcile. I have, however, heard that they condoned what Hitler did about the Jews because they too hate them. How surprised he would be to know that what he told me I am putting in a paper. Oh, yes, as I was leaving I happened to think of Von Schuschnigg, and asked them if they knew him, "Oh ye, but of course" and I could go on to tell more about that, Yreka Boy is 79th Mercy Flight Patient Robert Aubrey, 7, Yreka, yes terday was the 79th patient car ried by planes operated by the Mercy Flights air ambulance service of Medford. The Stinson air ambulance operated by the non-profit service took the boy to San Francisco for treatment of an illness which it was thought might be polio. The plane, flown by Pilot George Milligan, left here about 5 p.m. The boy was accompanied by a nurse from Yreka.

SID HOLLINGSWORTK Pickin' blackberries is a spec ial activity engaged in by one member at Camp White who has built up quite a business for ! himself during the summer sup plying not only Camp White but acquaintances in Medford and vicinity with the wild fruit he gathers by a system all his own and found in places which he calls "top secret." He is Harry M. Knox, mes senger at other times in the Domiciliary office. During the season the job keeps him ex tremely busy and he gathers in the neighborhood of 500 buck ets of the choice morsels. But let him tell about it in his own words: "My first introduction to pick ing wild blackberries came about in a casual way the first sum mer here, when after complet ing the setting up of 500 new lockers, it was suggested that I go out and pick some black berries for the cooks to bake a pie. Not only was this done but orders came for more ber ries. "Today the business has mush roomed into a scientific one man expedition supported by person nel, friends and some citizens of Medford and the surrounding territory. In order to keep pro duction rolling on schedule, gad gets were devised, one of them being the common barnyard var iety of milking stool for strip ping the ground bushes, and avoiding fatigue. "Then there is a hooking gad get for high bushes and one for reaching over streams for ber ries on the other side. The equipment also includes a heavy duty bicycle, first aid and prop er clothing. With all of this I enter the deep tangled wildwood in the Antelope district for the summer's foray, lasting until the late rains and frost. For every berry picked there are about 17 sharp briars with the underleaf and vine to contend with. "One sunny afternoon when cruising around, I spied a fancy cluster but the bees were busy humming over the sweetness and wouldn't be brushed off. After two stings the air grew hat with bees and a hasty exit had to be made. "For more berries to take care of the bookings, operations were moved to the Eagle Point area on the Little Butte and one evening, emerging from the patch, a porcupine came lumb ering slowly my way. No room to pass, porky promptly turned half way, bristled up and wait ed for the meeting. I took the day, holding the bucket over porkly while stepping over with a high stride. "The swamp approach leads Improvement Work Set On Columbia Watershed Seattle (U.R) More than 5100,000 will be spent before the end of next year for stream improvement work on the. low er Columbia river watershed, the Washington, Department of Fisheries announced yesterday. The projects will include blasting of natural falls to make upstream areas accessible to sal mon and steelhead trout, the construction of f ishways, and the removal of log jams. When completed in 1957, the over-all program will have cost $1,500,000 and opened approx imately 300 miles of productive stream not available previously to migratory fish, or barred to them by long - standing man made obstructions.

Sold loesHy by F. E. SAMSON COMPANY 4th & Front H.MleU 1E IMWC Ml H'ff- idii News, Gossip, Comment From Camp White to tall reed grasses shoulder high with bush berries reach ing the height of trees and fancy large clusters hanging- down like ' ornaments. A festive de light, and before I could get set for the pickings a rattler was spied in the tall reeds coil ed and ready for business. "I took my gadget for the rattler, tossed it over, enliven ing the action with a few swift yanks on a cord. The spell was a magic surprise and a com plete rout of the foe speeding away inland. "The daily pickings in the woods give good body exercise with plenty of fresh air and sun shine and in like manner a rea ching and stretching motion pulling in blackberries, now on high, then down to the ground again, doing the daily dozen, and toning up the muscles all day long. "Here in the beautiful Rogue river valley with running streams near Camp White, blackberries are found to grow profusely and large in several bush varieties the high bush, ground and creeping ones, the Oregon evergreen, Dew and Himalayas predominating." Harry has done some prelim inary work in his special pre serves and finds to his dismay that some of his best picking grounds have been cleared and ! cultivated, making it necessary to reconnoiter in the hope of finding new berry areas. It is likely that his crop mav be cut in half unless the new bushes are located. His average daily effort yields him 10 to 12 good sized buckets full of fresh, prime blackberries.
