NICHOLS Unttd Prew Fsur Writer Washington (U.R) If you think Americans spend their idle hours Burgling gin and bour- bon, youre wrong, sir. Us U.S. - ers are mostly coffee drinkers and there are fig ures to prove it. In terms of dollars spent, java- still is the top dog in MirmiB Nirboip port s, even though we make our own bourbon. Americans drink 60 per cent of the- world's output of coffee, which isn't supposed to be good for you, but which we gulp up, no matter what the doctor says. The National Geographic has a pretty fine file on coffee. It seems that it was in Arabia that coffee first was planted and nurtured. And there even to day, no business is done without a cup of the coffee in front. Arabs take a sip of water before their coffee, but any na tive caught taking water for a chaser is frowned upon. I've been on many a sidewalk cafe in France, where the na tives bicycle up to the coffee tables, park their bread on the table for their cup of "cafe au lait" coffee stirred up with hot milk. The waiter, particularly in Paris, is hep he brings you a Medford-Ashland Bus Fare To Climb One-way fare on Evergreen bus between Medford and Ash land will be increased from 30 cents to 35 cents after Aug. 23,, Public Utilities Commissioner Charles H. Heltzel, announced Saturday, after a public hearing on the matter attended by only one person. Henry . Huber, doing busi ness as Evergreen Bus lines. filed the petition with the com mission on June 29 requesting authority to increase intrastate passenger fares. Proposed Increase He proposed to Increase mini mum one-way fare from 15 cents to 20 cents: minimum round-trip fare from 30 cents to 40 cents; minimum 10-ride commutation fare from $1.25 to $1.60; and the one-way fare between Medford and the entire city of Ashland from 30 cents to 35 cents. The hearing was held in Med ford July 25 before an examiner representing the commissioner. Ralph B. Mathews of Medford appeared in behalf of Evergreen Bus lines. Loss Declared During the hearing it was found that net loss for the sys tem during April, May and June, 1956, was $1,122.05. The average cost per bus mile was 21.3 cents, compared with a revenue of 18 4 cents per bus mile. These costs do not include payments to Henry J. Huber. owner, as an employe, or any amount for replacement of equipment. Suspension of certain time schedules went in.o effect last January as a result of an earlier hearing. However, the decrease in operating costs resulting from schedule reductions failed to take the bus line out of the red. Commissioner Heltzel. on the basis of facts presented on be half of Evergreen granted the petition. newspaper and swishes the table cloth twice for coffee alone and three times if you want some long loaf of bread and butter. In Algeria, the natives have thought up a drink of banana and coffee, a horrible thought. They also are fine hands at eat ing raw coffee berries. The Uganda natives, incident ally, claim credit to the inven tion of iced coffee. They sugar ed up coffee, called it "maza gran" and dumped in a bunch of ice. In Southern France they dilute the same with seltzer water and I forget what they call it. I am also trying to forget how it tasted. Before the Arabs became com mercial, coffee trees grew wild in Ethiopia. The Galla tribesmen made rations of ground coffee, high in protein and fat. One ball of this business, which was about the size of a cue ball, was supposed to carry a war rior through a full day of fight ing. Coffee Began as Medicine Frederick the Great had an eye on politics and played foot sie with the rich. He once warn, ed the people of Prussia that if the peasants supped at the cof fee cup they would wind up sterile. Freddy didn't get away with it. Coffee, incidentally, started out as a medicine, and food. And there was misery everywhere it was introduced. But all of that was fixed up in the 18th century when an un sung Turk let it be known that when he married, he would keep his bride in coffee. There must be a monument to this fellow someplace. He put it in writing that if she wasn't well coffeed, she would have grounds for divorce. The rec ords are a little flimsy on how that one came out. Getting back to the homeland. Americans average about 2.68 cups of coffee a' day, per citizen. Me, I just take one getting up saucer and let it go at that. Neuberger Predicts Victory for Morse Washington (U.R) Sen. Rich ard L. Neuberger (D-Ore.) says he is "certain" Democratic Sen. Wayne L. Morse will be re elected in Oregon over the sena torial bid of former Interior Secretary. Douglas McKay. But Neuberger expressed doubt that the Democrats will carry the state against President Eisenhower. "I am not nearly so certain that the Democrats will carry Oregon for the presidential elec tion as I am certain that . . . Morse will defeat Douglas Mc Kay," Neuberger said yesterday. Norblad Asks Hearing On Small Boat Safety Salem (U.R) Rep. Walter Norblad said here Saturday that he has sent a letter to Herbert Bonner, chairman of the House Merchant Marine and Fisheries Committee, asking that North west hearings on safety legisla tion for small boats be extended to include Portland. Hearings had earlier been scheduled for the Astoria area only. Norblad particularly pointed out that he felt the committee could gain beneficial knowledge from boat operators in the Lake Oswego urea who have a strict set of regulations in effect.
