Landy takes another whack at
the four minute mile Saturday
and whether he makes it or not
it's been a . privilege and a
pleasure to have him with us.
If that sounds like a Chamber
of Commerce speech,-so be It.
Because we too often are in
clined to take it for granted th. t
we have a corner on sportsman
ship as well as athletic talent. '
This lean, 26-year-old school
teacher from Down Under is a
champion in both departments.
It's a cinch, as he takes a bead
on his own world mile mark of
3:58 in the West Coast Relays
at Fresno, Calif., Saturday, that
sooner or later he or somebody
else is going to break it. Modest
ly deprecating his own ability to
run faster than 3:56, Landy ad
mits as much.
"Someday they'll run as low
as 3:50, and it might be within
five years the way they're run
ning now," he predicts.
Might Do It
Notice he didn't say the way
"we" are running. But this is
Pinball Measure
On Portland Ballot
Portland (U.R) A spokes
man for coin machine operators
said today that the issue of pin
ball machines in the . Rose City
would be on the ballot in Novem
ber, regardless of how a pinball
measure fares in next Friday's
election. , -
Alvin J. Brown, executive sec
retary of the Coin Machine Oper
ators of Oregon, said the ballot
measure written for the primary
election was poorly prepared
and presented the issue back
wards. It would only result in
throwing the pinball question
back in the courts, he said.
Brown said the industry
would -sponsor an initiative pe
tition before the November elec
tion to give voters a clear cut
choice.
Of next Friday's ballot meas
ure, Brown said: '"If people are
for pinballs they must vote 'no'
and if they are against them they
vote 'yes'.' .
Agrigento, Italy (U.R) Vin

her wedding plans Thursday,
when the city registrar found
she was a sort of "woman who

Miss Galgano's parents had not
registered her birth, had not
baptized her, nor christened her.
She had also never been to
school and never voted.

Is That So?
Editor's note: Do you want to ex
tend the life of practically every kind
of plant material used for show pur
poses, home, office, banquet hall and
church? Here is the second of a
series of questions and answers on this
subject to be published In the Mail
Tribune telllnjc you how to snake your
dahlias, roses or lilies last extra days.
The material Is largely taken from
Eucene Burns' notes on his recent
Far Eastern trip.
the lad who just might do it,
because six men have run the
mile under four minutes a total
of 11 times. Landy himself has
done it five of those times.
The last time was last Satur
day. Most guys would have been
thrown into a tizzy because
Landy, running 3:58.7 a time
he has beaten on three occasions
finished second to fellow Aus
tralian Jim Bailey's surprising
3:58.6..
Landy, aside from a few lauda
tory words for Bailey, was ap
parently unperturbed. Instead
of blowing his top, he maintain
ed a marked poise, jokingly ob
serving that if he had his career
to plot over again he would be a
sprinter "because it's easier and
shorter."
He has proved several times
before, that he was a sportsman
of whom Australia can well be
proud.
The most hotable occasion was
in a recent race in Australia
when an opponent tripped and
fell. Landy stopped to help him
to his feet and then went on
to win the race.
He ran the mile that time in
4:04.2, too.
Really ; Makes Friends
Coming to the United States
to help plug the Olympic games,
to be held in Australia late this
year, Landy has really friends
and influenced people. One rea
son is his straightforward ap
praisal of himself, one which
shows a wide streak of humor.
That he doesn't own an auto
mobile or even a bicycle, genial
John explained he was "a frugal
sort of fellow."
"Besides," he said, tapping
a long forefinger on one leg,
"I've been able to- get along
rather well on these."
Not well enough, though, he
contends, to win the Olympic
1,500 meter race. Landy's theory
is "there are too many great
runners in that one."
So, in an era of second guess
ers alibi artists, it's nice to meet
one of his kind. Australia can be
right proud of him and I,; for
one, wish he belonged to us. . ,
Question: Is there any partic
ular way of handling or packing
cut flowers to make them last
longer?
Answer: Handle each flower
with the prized care it deserves.
Pick them up by their stems and
handle them as little and as
quickly as possible. Delicate and
fragile blossoms, like camellia,
gardenia, and southern magnolia
may be permanently damaged if
you brush one against the other
or carelessly place them in a
basket or container. Get the
habit of placing them on your
table or work surfaces so the
heads extend over the edge.
When arranging the flowers,
lift them by the stems and place
them directly from the condi
tioning container into the vase
or bowl.
G. Should flowers be "con
ditioned" before placing them in
a bouquet?
A. Most flowers will last
longer if properly conditioned
that is, placed in water in a cool,
darkened .room.
On the underside of leaves
there are many minute pores,
sometimes called breathing cells.
These pores open and close to
regulate the amount and rate of
carbon dioxide absorption, the
liberation of oxygen, ' and the
loss of moisture. At night, when
it is dark, these breathing cells
almost close. This reduces the
amount and rate of moisture-
loss. In the daytime, if the room
for conditioning is darkened,
these pores which normally
would be open, tend to close,
thus decreasing the moisture
evaporation through the breath
ing cells of the foliage.
When "conditioned" the plants
have an opportunity to soak in
water overnight or at least for
some hours, and thus they have
stored up a supply of water and
have hardened. They are then
much better prepared to be
handled in making a flower ar
rangement or to be transported.
Should Be Mist-Sprayed
Q. Besides this, should the
flowers be watered from above?
A. Usually the air in a room
is inclined to be dry. -Hence, to
duplicate greenhouse conditions,
it is well to mist-spray the flow
ers. A fairly cheap bottle-spray
with a plastic fixture so it won't
rust is available at your service
station where such sprayers are
used to clean windshields.
With the sprayer, spray a fine
mist of cold water into the air
above and around the flowers
and foliage after you have placed
them with stems in water. A thin
film of moisture will .settle on
petals and foliage and thus in
crease humidity in a room and
prevent undue loss of moisture
through flowers and leaves.
Q. Should one use faucet
water?. Ice water?
By EUGENE BURNS
Ranger-Naturalist
A. Room temperature water
is usually best but let the faucet
water stand from 5 to 10 min
utes before use so that the air
bubbles can escape before you
place the stems in it. Air bubbles
in the stems prevent the rise of
water. Hence, fill your condi
tioning containers with water be
fore you go out to gather flowers.
By the time you have returned,
the water will be ready.
Us of Water
Q- Is deep water essential?
A. Almost all water absorbed
by cut flowers enters through
the base of the stem. One excep
tion is the carnation. So for most
flowers shallow water is just as
good as deep water as far as
intake is concerned. But when
the room is exceedingly dry, use
generous amounts of water it
will lessen evaporation through
the leaves and stem. For some
flowers which have leafless
stems, such as cyclamens, hy
acinths, and calla lilies, it is
best to use deep water.
But regardless, keep the water
level high enough to keep stem
ends always in water.
Next week there will be an
other article on how to prolong
the life of cut flowers. Mean
while you may wish to consult
