TheyTl Do It Every A Man W5 WITH I n& w-" r-w Bocc Stairs: Ike's Packages By MERRIMAN SMITH , United Press While House V Writer Washington U.R) Backstairs at the White House: 9 A visitor last week asked President Eisenhower how his cold was getting along. The Chief Executive's com ment was brief but graphic. He merely pulled a package of pills from each of his coat pockets. "That's about the size of it," he said, looking at the pill packages. ,Mr. Eisenhower wants to get away this coming week end if possible, either to Gettysburg or Augusta. - ' He's anxious to get on a golf course and his doctor, Maj. Gen. Howard M. Snyder, concurs heartily. The Chief Executive, cold or no cold, got in a round at Burn ing Tree last week, but that was the first golf he's played In what Dr. Snyder considers too long a time.

Truck Driver Rescues Man Trapped by Blaze Portland (U.R) An elderly man, trapped in his blazing home , here Sunday was saved from death by a Portland truck driver " who dived through a closed .window to rescue him. Police said the trapped man, Ray T. Tripp, 67, had been over come by smoke. The truck dri ver, Harvey L. Laash, saw the flames -from his neighboring home, - ran over and pulled the unconscious man through the window to safety. Tripp was hospitalized with burns and shock. His wife was uninjured. Police blamed the blaze on a cigarette which had fallen into a divan while - the Tripps were watching television earlier.

When Stephens reached the airport however, he was led to a downstairs room where, to his amazement, there were nearly 200 of his friends waiting to see him off. Marking the fact that Tom was born in Ireland, the Irish minister was on hand for the farewell along with a harp player. Stephens is returning to pri vate law practice in New York but will be a frequent visitor to Washington. Mr. Eisenhower is using color photography to help him in his pastime of painting. When he travels around the country, he takes a color cam era with him and records scenes which he will paint later. . On his recent trip to Thomas ville, Ga., the President made a number of color photographs around the stately home of John Hay Whitney. Whitney has an opulent estate near the planta tion of Secretary of Treasury George M. Humphrey who was Mr. Eisenhower's host. ?9l V t i i t t t Parade Safeway Chickaree and Chanterelle , The western red squirrel is commonly called "chickaree." Early explorers gave the bright and charming creature the name because of its trick of trilling when it chirps or squeaks. An other native name for it is the "Douglas squirrel," because of its association with the douglas fir tree, which was scientifical ly discovered by Davd Douglas, Scotch botanist of the 1820s. He described the trilling red squirrel of the Pacific slope woods also. The chantarelle is the queen of northwest mushrooms. It flourishes best in the deep dark woods, where the moss hangs high the rain forest. Chantar elle caps, rising up from forest floor moss, are fluted and ruf fled like little lilies golden in hue. At first the caps are tan and button-like. At last the round caps become hollow, the color is gold-yellow and they ex ude an apricot - like perfume. "The chantarelle has no ring on the stem and no cup at the base. The cap and stem run to gether and the gills run down from the cap, forming folds on the stem," says Margaret Mc Kenny, in her new book on northwest wildlife. Douglas Fir Wildflowers . . . For one like this correspond ent, who owns a simple mind and a vocabulary of small words this McKenny book is a handful of pure treasure. It has taught me more about the good little mushrooms and the bad little toadstools than I've learned be fore, in a lifetime of addicition to mushrooms with meat. Shag gymane, I know you now! And now I'm sure I'll never be laid low by the fly amanita or the Satan's boletus. It was the fly amanita toad stool that Emperor Nero used to slice up and slip into the salads of dinner guests that he had decided; to exterminate. It earned the first part of its name through use of its juice as a fly poison. Four pages on . the Douglas fir in a section on wildflowers are focused on "the two kinds of flowers which grow on dif ferent parts of the tree." "The small, pointed bodies covered with brown scales con tain the pollen," writes Miss McKenny. "Small bristly flowers borne at the ends of the twigs, soon become brown cones with seeds beenath their scales." In this section, as in the others, the author of "Wildlife of the Pacific" gives her subject the essential elements of its set ting. That is, the place of the Douglas fir itself in the history, the economy and the scenery of the region, is shown, and the wildf lower" phase of the tree's being is related to all the rest. Tribute to tree farms and to the products of the Douglas fir har vest is handsomely paid by the author. : The Varying Hare . . . We are the champion pussy willow country according to Author McKenny. Our pussy willow grows up to 40' in height. The commonest kind in the northwest is Scouler's pussy willow a curious name for a pussy willow finder. Its catkins often have stamens. The bees commonly wake up and . come forth in the spring for Scouler's pussy willow pollen first of 'all just to make bee bread. But the early bees fill up on nectar too, while they are at it. The skunk cabbage has been up and blooming, big and yel low, for some time. I learn from Miss McKenny that there are little black beetles of swamp and marsh that like the pollen of the skunk cabbage and scat ter it from flower to flower. Its root has a peppery juice that bears prowl and dig for when they come out, yawning, lank, Court Records POLICE COURT Benny Franklin Compher Jr..

U.Pj A for mer college professor is on his way to the other side of the world to look for a snowman. He wants to bring it back alive. Although his trip to Nepal is basically a mountain-climbing expedition, Norman G. Dyhren furth admits he has more than a passing interest in the legend of the abominable snowmen that haunt the Himalayas. . These creatures are know only by their tracks and the tales you hear from Nepalese tribesmen who claim to have seen them. Four Toes Sizes 12 Foot "They are definitely unlike anything we are familiar with in the Himalayas," said Dyhren furth, who is a veteran climber at 35. "The animal-or-man has four toes on each foot. It walks on two feet and runs on all fours. Each track is as long as a size 12 man's foot but much wider. "It may have a tail, judging from the tracks in the snow, and must be about the size of a gorilla." Dyhrenfurth is determined to capture a Yeti, or snowman, if he sees one on his expedition which has as its main goal the conquest of Lhotse, a 27,890-foot peak the second highest un climbed mountain in the world. Seeks Photo Proof Even if the snowman gets away, it is a safe bet Dyhren furth will get a picture of it. He formerly headed the motion picture department at UCLA, and in 1952, he served as cameraman-director on the unsuc cessful Swiss expedition up the slopes of Mount Everest. It was then he became convinced the abominable snowman really ex isted "I was camped high on Ever est when early one morning I was awakened by the sound of a o from SQUARE SHAPE COOKS 20 MORE than Round Pur U.S. RUBBER CO.

"I felt the beast hit the tent - ropes and heard it growling, but by the time I crawled outside it had vanished. I could smell the odor of a f urbearing animal and I saw the tracks of a Yeti in the snow." -; . . To Take Big Game Guns Dyhrenfurth has left for Ne pal via Switzerland. A big game hunter will join the expedition in Switzerland or. India. If a Yeti is sighted the hunter will have instructions to take it dead or alive, Dyhrenfurth said.

She and her husband, Gunter, won an Olympic medal for their climbs in the Himalayas in the 1930s. Dyhrenfurth hopes his expedi tion, if successful, will bring some glory to his American party. He recalled how. the Ital ians acted after their country men conquered the Himalayan1: peak K-2 recently. "The success in climbing that mountain meant , more ; to the average Italian than any World Series baseball games ever meant in America," Dyhren furth said.
