Comment On This and That
By HARMAN W. 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.
