Tnese travel articles describe vacation trips and des tinations throughout the Northwest and are recommend 3d for out-of-state visi tors comina to Ores on durint the Ce tennial Year observance. By CONNIE McCREADT Special Writer, The Orraonian . When . Aunt Agnes and the kids arrive from Kansas this summer you can heap frosting on their cake if you follow this foolproof AAA motorlog recipe. Take a day or two or three- whatever you can manage and head for the Long Beach Peninsula. Located on the southwestern tip of Washing ton, this stretch of beach long has been famous among clam afficionados as an outstanding hunting ground of the delect able razor clam. But there is another, usually overlooked, hunting preserve here that should appeal to the latent in terior decorator in most wom ena . humdinger of a spot that draws driftwood and fre quently glass floats as picnics attract yellowjacketsl . ' The peninsula is about a three-hour drive from Portland and there is a choice of routes. We recommend the Oregon drive to Astoria Sunset High way for speed, Columbia River for scenery then across the mouth of the Columbia by ferry to Megler. It's just a few short miles around Baker s Bay . to the Long Beach Peninsula. But when time is an import ant factor, you may find it ad visable to cross the Interstate Bridge to Vancouver and drive down the Washington side of the Columbia River. Popularity or tne Megier terry ride, par ticularly on Sunday evening re turn trips trom the peninsula. sometimes makes for auite a wait ior Doat space. unce on the peninsula, there are a number of reasonably- pricea accommoaauons in the various communities. If you want to make advance reserva tions you can get the names, rates and descriptions from the Portland Chamber of Com merce information center, the Oregon State Motor Assn. travel department in Portland or by writing the Long Beach Chamber of Commerce. There's no trick at all to find ing the tore-mentionea drat wood mecca. Just take a road leading west out of Ilwaco, the southernmost community o n the peninsula. Signs are apt to read Beard s Hollow, North Head, North Jetty, Fort Canby or Cape Disappointment. When you see any of these, you II know you're on the right track. aiay on in is roaa im n eaas m a fork. Take the one to the right and you'll find yourself imme diately on Coast Guard grounds and a sign admonishes you the area will be closed to the pub lic at sundown. You've arrived. You're on Cape Disappoint ment Jetty Collects Driftwood From here the long, thin arm of the North Jetty reaches out into the Pacific and with the aid Of tides and the Columbia River current collects about its base magnificent heaps of gnarled, twisted, sea and sun silvered logs and roots, small and mammoth. Here is the huntinglimited only by imagination, to delight the artist, the collector, the decorator and thebargain hunter. (These polished, grace ful, sometimes ludicrous, crea tions of nature bring fantastic prices even in cities on the coast.) Just wait till Aunt Agnes shows her bridge club back in Kansas the piece of driftwood or glass ball she discovered HERSELF! While there have been ghastly crimes committed in the name of driftwood decor, there is frequent handsome evi dence of its versatility. To the artist and to most the piece is beauty in itself, complete. Its popularity in flower ar rangements can be seen a t any show. As a single point of interest on a brick fireplace wall, for example, it can be striking. . There is sharp divergence among driftwood collectors as to its ultimate use. To the utilitarian type, the stuff is worthless if it can't be transformed into a lamp base or coffee table pedestal. The other camp . maintains that while there is an occas sional creation of merit along these lines, on the whole such desecration is on a par with Venus' statuettes with a clock in the stomach! This latter camp has equally strong feel ings on the subject of painting, lacquering, varnishing or any other means of defacing the na tural gray-silver sheen. The temptation to pile the car high with driftwood ob iects d'art is a Dowerful one. And the problem of what to do witn it an, once home, is some times a knotty one. . But lust remember th fun is in the finding and if that gorgeous, twisted cnunic turns out to he too hi? for the not you had in mind, don't worry,) it maxes a wonaenui lire: - Motorloggers may take two routes to Peninsula, one oa ' Washington side of Columbia, the other on Oregon side via Megler ferry at Astoria.

Alaskans here say that an official celebration probably will not take place until some time after admission of Alas ka as a state, now expected late in December or early in January. A date frequently mentioned is next July 4 when the 49th star will be added officially to the Ameri can flag. Resentment . The President caused disap appointment and resentment among some leaders in the fight for Alaskan statehood by not inviting them to the White House to watch him sign the legislation. White House aides explained that the President hasn't had such a bill-signing ceremony for some time. He cut them out because they were time-consuming and presented a prob lem of where to draw the line if any were held. But the President did mark the occasion by calling in newsmen and photographers to cover the signing. It was the only , time this year he had done even that. He also sent to Juneau for display in the Alaskan State House one of the four pens he used in signing the bill. Straws in Wind t. dams Straws in the wind as to the future of top Presiden tial Aide Sherman Adams. White House sources deny reports he will resign in a reasonable length of time after Congress adjourns. He and Mrs." Adams were next ranking guests to Vice President and Mrs. Richard M. Nixon at a dinner given by Italian Premier Amintore Fanfani here. Adams' reported reply to a reference at a social occasion to resignation talk was a cheerful: "Do I look like a man about to resign?" The three leading Repub lican election campaign strate gists called in a group on Adams one morning at 7:45 a.m. (EDT). They were GOP National Chairman Meadle Alcorn, Sen. Andrew F. Schoeppel (Kan.), and Rep. Richard M. Simpson (Pa.). Schoeppel and Simpson are chairmen of the Senate and House GOP campaign com mittees, respectively. Expensive Golf Clubs Those expensive golf clubs given Adams by personal friend Sam Goldstein, Massa chusetts theater chain owner, was a gift to the President. Eisenhower gave the bag, with engraved metal plate "To S.A. from D.D.E." as a Christmas present in 1956. The President's military training of keeping things moving on schedule was evi denced when he bid Fanfani goodbye after a White House luncheon. When Fanfani's limousine wasn't called up to the north portico as soon as he thought, it should have been, the President stepped over to a doorman and direct ed that the car be driven up. Guests at the stag lunch eon, with one exception, had limousines with liveried chauffers. The .first guest to leave rode in an old Plymouth station wagon driven by a member of his office staff who wore a business suit. The guest was . sprightly, 90-year-old Theodore Francis Green, the Democratic Chair man of the Senate Foreign Relations committee. Although a millionaire and one of the wealthiest members of the Senate, Green doesn't believe in expensive personal trans portation. He frequently rides streetcars or walks in going to and from the capitol. Northwest Building Permits Increase Portland (UPD A record total of nearly a quarter of a billion dollars worth of con struction permits were issued in the Pacific Northwest dur ing the first half of 1958. The area's 64 largest cities issued permits totaling $215, 570,881, the Equitable Sav ings and Loan Association re ported. The new record is 23 per cent higher than 1957 and two per cent higher than the previous record year, 1956. Permits issued through June 30 totaled 33,656 com pared with 33,521 last year. Use Tribune Want Ads France's 'Forgotten War Grinds' On In Algeria, Left by World Algiers (UPD France's "forgotten war" in Algeria grinds on grimly, practically ignored by the world whose attention is held captive by summit diplomacy and tne Middle East crisis. But today, as they have al most every day since Nov. 1, 1954, when Algerian national ism exploded into organized armed revolt, French patrols fanned out across the wild regions they ; now call "the rotten zones." In these areas (there are reported to be five scattered across Algeria and covering hundreds of square miles of territory) the French units know that rebel influence is strong, surrounding them like a silent sea. In these zones shadowy guerrila bands are hidden, poised to strike savagely, then melt back into the wilderness. The week of July 27, as it has almost every week for more than 43 months, the French Supreme Command in Algiers issued its official count of rebels killed through out the territory for the past seven days. Taking More Prisoners "From July 21 to 27," the communique read, "479 rebels were killed and 164 captured in Algeria." The previous week's totals were: 498 killed, For the past two years the rebel dead announced by the French week have varied around the present figure. Last summer the count often rose to more than 1,000 men wiped out, at other times it has fallen to about 300. But never before, the French say, has the number of prisoners taken been so high, week in, week out. They claim this means the rebels are running low on fighting manpower, that they are recruiting mostly battle shy teen-age youths who are easily demoralized, and that the appeals Gen. Charles de Gaulle has launched to all Algerians are heard in the rebel ranks. But leaders of the main rebel organization, called FLN, scoff at this as "French propaganda." They say 90 per cent of Algeria's Moslems are behind the nationalists fight ers and that the French can give up all hope of crushing them by military force. Whether the oft-repeated French claims are now coming true, whether the FLN's state ments are bravado or simple fact, one thing is sure: day after day the fighting con tinues and men die. Present estimates of full time rebel fighting strength number their troops at about 40,000 men. About 60,000 What Is The Law? This column is prepared as m publie service by the College of Law.

The reader is cautioned not lo apply these cases to his own problems without an attorney's advice, for differing facts may change the outcome. . Stroke Won't Cancel Builder's Contract Bill Dryer has suffered a stroke of paralysis. He is a well ' known building con tractor in the corr-munity and the quality of the work done by his workmen has made him much sought after as a home builder. Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Newhouse, after years of dreaming and planning, had contracted with Dryer for the construction of a home one week before his stroke. Dryer wants to get out of the contract. He claims that the stroke is sufficient reason for him to be excused from going ahead with the contract. Is he right in his contention? Can Expect Performance No. In the ordinary build ing contract, it is not contem plated that the building should be the product of the contractor's own personal la bor or skill. His paralysis will not prevent his workmen from going ahead with the construction, or his arrang ing with another builder to take over the contract. The Newhouses have a right to expect performance after they, have negotiated with Dryer and entered into a written contract with him by which Dryer was to lo the construction and they were to pay him a certain sum for that construction. Both par ties knew at the time of the contracting that illness or ac cident might befall either Engineers To Resume AGC Talks Portland (UPD Negotia tions between the Associated General Contractors .and the striking operating engineers of Oregon and southwest Washington are expected to resume Tuesday, Leroy Smith federal mediator assigned to the strike, said today. The AGC's "final" wage of fer was rejected by Portland members of the operating en gineers Friday night and un ion members in other sections of Oregon will vote on the proposal today and Tuesday, Smith said. More than $400 million worth of heavy construction in Oregon and southwest Washington has been halted by the more than three-week-old dispute. party. After the basement would be completed, for ex ample, Mr. or Mrs. Newhouse or both of them might die. Dryer might die. Death of the parties on either side will not destroy the validity of the contract. May Terminate Contract Of course, if the parties agree at any time that they will terminate the contract, they may do so. Or by agree ment other parties may be substituted. By no means should the above be taken to mean that there are never legal justifi cations for not performing a contract because of facts that arise that make it impossible. For instance, if a builder had agreed to construct a house on a very high point of land at the edge of the ocean and torrential rains would cause the land to slide into the ocean, the contract would be at an end. part- time guerrilas are be lieved to join in anti-French raids from time to time. The French are said to have about 400,000 troops in the territory. According to left-wing newspapers in Paris, the French army chief in Al geria, Gen. Raoul Salan, has asked for 80,000 to 100,000 more. x Building Trades Council Elects Roseburg (UPD Joe Wil is of Eugene Sunday was elected executive secretary of the Oregon State Building and Construction Trades Council union at a conven tion here.

He de feated incumbent Ed Weber, also of Portland, 99-34. The secretary's post is a full-time paid job. The post of president is not.
