(Editor's note: The follow
ing tribute to Lloyd A.
(Mutt) Williamson, who died
recently in Bend, appeared

Williamson was a former

LLOYD WILLIAMSON.
1897-1958
A new industry, the quarry
ing and processing of pumice,
was in its infancy 16 years
ago when Lloyd A. William
son came to Bend. Pumice at
that time was largely being
"mined" in the Crescent coun
try, where debris of ancient
Mt. Mazama . covered the
earth.
Lloyd Williamson had great
faith in the future of pumice
as a light weight aggregate
for construction use. But he
was not satisif ed with the pro
duct that was going out from
Central Oregon. Nor was he
satisfied with the process used
in making the light-weight
building blocks.
Much research was needed
before pumice could be fully
accepted as a building ma
terial, Williamson realized.
Through the. efforts of Wil
liam E. Miller, also of Bend,
and Williamson, studies were

launched, and properties of
several Oregon pumice de
posits were studied.
Slowly pumice regained
most of the recognition it had
lost in earlier years. It be
came accepted as a good build
ing material. Out of Central
Oregon were shippeded car
loads of Deschutes pumice, to
many parts of the west, and,
in some cases to the east.
It was in 1955 that Lloyd
Williamson was recognized
for his engineering and re
search work in the pumice
field. He was elected first
president of the National
Pumice Institute, at a meet
ing in the southwest.
In the early years of the
quarrying of pumice in this
region, it was the tendency
of many to refer to pumice as
"volcanic ash". Such reference
greatly aroused Lloyd Wil
liamson. Pumice, he stoutly
maintained was not an "ash"
it was a fine building ma
terial with a history- that
dated to ancent days. Pumice
was used in the concrete used
in building the Roman .Pan
theon, and the Colosseum.
Lloyd Williamson was a
pioneer in pumice in the re
gion. But he found time for
civic activities. Also, he served
his church faithfully. And he
was known throughout Ore
gon for his leadership in
American Legion work,
especially in earlier years.
Lloyd Williamson was just
preparing to take life a bit
more leisurely when he was
injured in an accident, at a
pumice plant. Death came
Tuesday night, result of a
heart attack.
The industry he served so
faithfully through the years
will suffer as the result of
his death. The community
will miss him. Bend Bulletin.

THERE'S A DRUG STORE on Madison Avenue whose pro
prietor loves books? He's devoted so much time and space
to his burgeoning book department, in fact, that the other day
when a customer demanded,
'Do you keep large sizes of
bicarbonate of soda?" the
proprietor absent-mindedly
replied, "Who wrote it?"
From Paris comes the story
of an abnormally jealous wom
an who was convinced that her
husband had nothing else to
do all day but carry on with
assorted sirens and hussies. If
she discovered the slightest
hair on his coat she raised
several kinds of Hades. One
night, finding nothing at all,
she made the biggest scene of
all, crying wildly, "Even bald women now!"
Fond mother put on her new evening gown for the first time and
sought the opinion of her 12-year-old daughter. That discerning
critic clapped her hands ecstatically and gurgled, "Gee, mom, it
makes you look just like a princess a very old princess."

Nun To Wait
On Space Flight
San Diego, Calif. (UPD
Sister Mary Aquinas, "the
flying nun" from Green Bay,
Wis., says she would like to
make a flight into outer space
but as for being first no thank
you.
"I want to be sure they re
trieve me when I go into
space," she said. "I have work
to do on earth."
The sister, who holds a mas
ters degree in electronics
from Notre Dame, is the sup
ervisor of science teaching in
the diocese of Green Bay. She
now is teaching summer
school at San Diego's College
for Women.
Recently, Sister Mary was
offered a chance to break the
sound barrier in a military
jet. She said she would like
to make the flight but could
not take the time away from
her teaching duties just now.
The nun took her first fly
ing lesson in 1942. Not long
ago she was co-pilot on an
Air Force jet flight from Mad
ison, Wis., to McGuire Field,
n: j.
She traveled 700 miles in
100 minutes but didn't break
the sound barrier.
July, 1952, and later became
president and premier of
Egypt.
But the shaggy -haired,
rugged-faced general was in
turn ousted by Gamal Abdel
Nasser and put under arrest
in November, 1954. He was
never brought to trial.
Life of Ease
Now, Naguib lives a life
of ease at the mansion. He
cannot leave the grounds, but
inside he is completely free.
He even sends out for meals
from Cairo's best restaurants
to vary his fare.
There are reports he talks
to Nasser by telephone. But
Nasser last year told an inter
viewer that he does not see
Naguib.
The Al Marg "palace" has
over 20 room surrounded by
gardens and farm plots where
Naguib spends most of his day
playing tennis with the offi
cers guarding him or receiv
ing friends and relatives who
are allowed to visit.
Occasionally he hunts pi
geons and ducks.
The general still rises early
every morning to play ten
nis, read the papers and have
breakfast with his family.
The newspapers and maga
zines he. reads come from all
over theworld no reading
matter is withheld from him.
Naguib never misses a ra
dio news bulletin and was
reported joyous the day of the
Iraqi revolt.
Job Is Finished
He has three wives. Each
spends a week with him in
turn.
Most of his children are
abroad at foreign schools
studying at government ex
pense. Naguib himself wanted
them to study abroad and
often calls them by long dis
tance telephone.
Naguib writes and receives
frequent letters from relatives
and friends.
But otherwise, he is the
forgotten man of Egypt. The
local press no longer mentions
him.
"I do not seek personal pow
er," he once said. "I want to
rid Egypt of its enemies. I
must, because if I fail Egypt
will fall to dust."
Now he has finished his
job, forced out of the way
while Nasser seeks to solidify
the Arab nations.
