In 1885, Bay City was the lum ber producing capital of the world. On btoad Center St., where the hand - planted elms were already, tall, the lumber kings of the eighties built man sions to endure. We hoped also, to track down the origin of the Paul Bunyan legend which, we believed, had been start-id by the descendants of the French pioneers' of Michi gan uid by the shanty boys who had stormed up from tte Cork town district of Detroit to the pice camps. We dug. up plenty of evidence to support this be lief," by the way, but no docu ments.. s .The first thing we found in old J3ay City was a housing-shortage. The best we could do was to rent a furnished apartment of living room, bedroom, kitchen mansion of an old-tim pine king, and bath in the remodeled 1880 Some raiders may remember the j big Shearer -home on. Bay City's The bedroom was small and so were the kitchen and bath. But Center sU was peaceful and beautiful under magnificent shade trees. The place was sleepy and quiet. There was a huge grassy lawn around the mansion. There were roses. And a ham mock. And pleasant people. We had a summer there that was both restful and productive. After getting used to the place, we were not at all sorry for-the lack of a modern apartment house in Bay City. When we left eleven months later to spend a season up in the Au Sable coun lry, it was with real regret. The neighbors of the first floor and the third floor, between whom we ere sandwiched, had become our good friends. One located for us a Model T Ford that -was ten years old but had only run 10,000 miles. We bought it for sixty dollars, chris tened it "Snoose" and headed away for the jackpine sand plains and the trailroads of the Saginaw Paul Bunyan. That was-how one couple beat tho housing shortage in old Bay City. Another Old House We've lived in many other old houses in our roving ways (Jhe Egvpjan press built him Centex st.

Tahia, three young sons and two daughters. He is soft-spoken in inter views, his white-toothed smile flashing. But in speeches his guttural Arabic arouses emo tions which he seldom himself displays. Mountainous Problems He faces mountainous prob lems his country of 23 million is plagued with poverty, disease and 90 per cent illiteracy. He has irked many a former friend with his abrupt nationalization of the Suez Canal. He has dan gerously played East against West and given Russia a toehold in the Middle East wuth a $200 million arms deal. Nasser's entire career shows his impatience with any author ity if he feels that authority is wrong. Typical is the story that when he was seven, his father strictly forbade him to dig in the garden. Nasser promptly went out and dug a hole so big that his father fell into it one night. West Indies Battle Brought Pear Trees Albany, N. Y. CU.R) The pear tree may be said to have come to New York state by way of a battle in the West Indies more than 300 years ago. The Dutch attacked the Portu guese on the Caribbean island of St. Martin in 1644. One of the Dutchmen lost a leg in the en counter. Taken back to Holland to re cuperate, the 52-year-old adven turer became fond of drinking "perry," a cider made from pear juice. That man was Peter Stuyve sant, who a year or so later was appointed governor of New Am sterdam. When he arrived in what later was to become New York City, Stuyvesant brought along his silver trimmed wooden leg and enough pear trees to fill an orchard. He planted the trees near what is now the junction of Third ave. and 13th st. in New York City. Today, the state has some 500,000 pear trees. Long Beach Shoreline Sinking; Threatens Community of Naples ( London OI.R) Moscow ra dio told the Arab world today that the people of Iraq have ris en in a "Holy War-' against the government of "imperialist" Pre mier Nouri El Said. Long Beach, Calif U.R) This. city's shoreline has sunk so much that the sea threatens to swallow a community of 3.000 persons unless emergency action is taken. The harbor department report ed today that the community of Naples, Calif., which has a pic turesque network of canals pat terned after the Italian city, of Venice, "is right in the water with no ground to spare." It still is sinking along with -other parts of the Los Angeles harbor shoreline. ' Naples was only one foot above the water at high tide, ac cording to the latest report. . "This is a very serious pre dicament," a Chamber of Com merce spokesman said. "We're going to have to start building dikes there or Naples wiU go under." Only the shoreline is threat ened. There is no danger to the entire city of Long Beach, with its population of 305,000.

The sinking, which may not be checked until 1970, was first noticed 18 years ago. It is blamed mainly on the extraction of such underground liquids as salt wa ter, oil and gas. Earthquakes and the construction of heavy instal lations along the shoreline have also contributed to the down ward and horizontal movement of earth. This has cracked and dis lodged piers, steel bridges and docks. The Southern California Edison plant has sunk 23 'a feet. The earth has lowered three feet at the Long Beach munici- Colorado Springs.

Israel May Repatriate Egyptian Soldiers Soon Jerusalem, Israeli sector iU.R) Israel probably will repatriate most Egyptian soldiers captured in the Sinai campaign soon, for eign ministry director General Walter Eytan said Saturday. Eytan said no definite deci sion has been made on repatri ating the Egyptian prisoners but is likely would be made soon "because we have so many of them." old at a time when it required porch and kitchen repairs. The need in the kitchen was a new sink, counter and cabinets. This wes a simple remodeling job for a one-man contracting firm ard his suppliers and special ists such as a tile-setter. The tile job had to be postponed for a time, but it gave us a new kitchen when we got it. FHA Title 1 financing spread the costs economically. With the porch, our carpen tering contractor had only to take out the wood that had been in the weather for 20 years and put in new lumber. In the old construction there were rails two inches thick and 12 wide, lumb er solid and clear. The new rails were 2x4", on 4x4" posts, all standard grade with some knots, and green. The old stepping, wide and clear Douglas fir, was replaced with three standard 2x4s on each step. They will serve as well as the old. That's all there was to the porch remodeling a S90 job. So then we had half of the porch walled in and made into a "home office" nook off the dining room. This cost another S125. Remodeling is a lot of fun, and it is a service-giver and monev-maker too. we've found. But multiply this case history of. minimum need by tens yes. by scores of millions, nearly all cases of vastly greater need, and you may see the whole lumber demand of the future in appre ciable terms.
