Every tire, or almost every time, we ask a bus depot employee about schedules, or fares, it turns out later that we were given the wrong informa tion. But then, if we worked for Greyhound, we'd probably never be able to remember all that in formation either. In many ways, it is more in teresting to travel by bus than by train or plane. The people who travel by bus, whether b& cause circumstances force them to or by preference, seem to be less inhibited than other tra velers. For a time Monday night we thought the trip north was going to be dull, but it turned out otherwise. For one thing, five people who spoke no English sat near us, and while we under stood only a few words of their conversation during the trip, we found them most interesting to watch and we enjoyed hearing them talk together. We've al ways liked to hear the Spanish language spoken, it seems so mu sical, and the small boy of the five travelers rattled on inces santly in a sweet voice. A great many people do it, but it must be a bit terrifying to set out to travel in a land without being able to speak the language However, these travelers, appar ently a family, seemed to be en joying themselves and not con cerned or anxious in any way. The man of the group listened intently to directions and instruc tions from the driver and seemed to understand, although he could speak no English, and would then translate to the remainder of the party. The boy, just like all small boys, started on a tour of the Portland depot the minute he was inside and was soon busily examining everything with great interest. Portland seems to be enjoy ing a busy tourist summer. We had not bothered to make hotel reservations and were somewhat alarmed when the hotel clerk said he had no empty rooms. It was early morning, however and guests were leaving, so he sent us up to a room which had just been vaeated, saying he would send a maid right up. It turned out that the occupants had not left yet but the woman in the room invited us in and said they would be leaving in a matter of moments. "I don't mind in the slightest,' she said kindly. "In fact, we did the same thing ourselves yester day. It must make the manage ment happy when a hotel is so busy the guests over-lap!" Going up in the elevator, we noted with interest a tray with a bottle of ginger ale, a bottle of beer and a bowl of ice. When we inquired if for heaven's sake was somebody drinking at 8:30 a.m. the bell hop and elevator operator groaned and then laughed. 'We have a permanent guest," the operator said, "who breakfasts every morning on a bottle of ginger ale and a bottle of beer." We all then shuddered and agreed that it was a strange, if not downright revolting cus tom. As usual the time in the city flies by on wings and half the things we planned to do, go un done. We did visit the Portland Art Museum to see the collection of old paintings by Italian, Dutch and Flemish masters given to the museum by the Kress estate Portland artists and art patrons are exceedingly grateful for the gift, for the paintings are of great antiquity and beauty and said to be valued at more than two million dollars. Even though the paintings were done three and four centu ries ago, the colors are sou strong and rich, particularly the red and orange tones, and our companions on the tour agreed that the early European artists "had something" which most of the moderns lack. When we went froi the Kress collection into a room where modern works were displayed they seemed cheap, tawdry and lacking in meaning by comparison. We' particularly looked at the controversial mod ern entitled "Bird Depressed by the Winter of 1946" (or some other year) and felt that the bird in the picture, when we finally found it, couldn't have possibly been as depressed as we were at the sight of the picture. In the evening we went to see "Song of Norway" at the Civic auditorium, which everyone in the party, and for that matter, everyone in the auditorium, en joyed very much. The produc tion, given by the Los Angeles Civic Light Opera association, has a good cast of both singers and dancers, and the costumes are colorful and rich appearing. All this, combined with Edvard Grieg's music, makes a most de lightful evening's entertainment. Our group included beautiful Dorothy Anderle, former Port land Rose Festival queen, who was one of the attendants at the wedding of Mary Miksche and Peter Trim earlier this summer; her brother, Carl; their mother, and Bill Force, former Tribune staff member. During the eve ning we answered a raft of ques tions about the current Shake spearean festival plays and the Portlanders made plans to drive south for a week-end in order to see some of the plays. An exceedingly busy week end preceded our departure, for all in 24 hours we took in the Junior Service league annual corral cabaret, the final lunch eon of the national Rotana con vention, the McWhirter-Mead-ows wedding and the annual Bard's Hey-day. At the cabaret the patrons ate at tables arranged on the porch and lawn nearby, and danced on a special floor set up for the evening. JThe floor also provided a stage for the show given by members of the league and their husbands. Mesdames Thomas Emmens, James Keeble, Sam Richardson, Ed Collins, James Henry and James Cummins, with the aid of Garland Jones, did a dance routine, and then the "Can-Can Girls" came on. The 'girls" were R. B. Thierolf, James Keeble, Don Root, Tod Tibbut, Sam Richardson and Martin Luther Jr., wearing cos tumes of what looked like bur lap. Blown-up balloons in strate gic places provided the proper curves, and empty tin cans were hung here and there. When the dance ended with the traditional can-can routine, the "chorines" produced squirt guns filled with water and doused the guests sit ting in the front rows. The bright summer cottons and other informal clothes worn to this event make the scene a gay one, and one dress attracted particular attention. Mrs. Al Lit trell wore a full black cotton skirt with "I Like Ike" embroid ered across the skirt in bright thread. The Bard's Hey-day was as largely attended and as inter esting as in past years, with sup per, dancing, music and an in teresting talk by Allen Fletcher. However, Rodney Keating has decided that the event is a jinx, as far as he 1s concerned. Last year Mr. Keating, who is presi dent of the Oregon Shakespear ean Festival association and who introduces the numbers, sat down m a chair which tipped him backward down the hill prac-! tically into the laps of guests seated on the lawn. This year Mr. K., probably remembering last year, decided to sit on the grass, too. Alas and alack, he sat in a puddle of water formed by a leaking sprinkler and had to retire from the scene and swap trousers with a friend not so much in the foreground at the party before returning to the microphone for the remainder! of his MC duties. Mr. Heating's mishap wasn't the only one. Jupiter, one of the huge and shaggy sheep dogs be longing to the hosts, the Berth- old Barnums, climbed up on a folding chair which started to fold with him and caught one- paw. Jupiter raised considerable . commotion before the trouble could be discovered, but Pat : Barnum and her fiance, Russj Jamison, hurried up and Russ : finally managed to get the paw ! loose while Pat soothed Jupiter. ; Well be rather Klad to re-: turn to a section of the coast! where the sun shines. Yester-j day, in Centralia, Wash., where we are visiting the family, it rained and we had a fire in the furnace. So far as we are con cerned, that kind of weather should come in the falL O. S.
