Present Flagpole
Sitters Declared
'Bunch of Pikers'
By EVERETT R. IRWIN
UPI Correspondent
Chicago-UPD - A flagpole
maker recalled with nostalgia
Friday the zany "good old
days" when flagpole sitters
really sat because that was
all they had room to do.
Ralph Watkins said present
day sitters - are "a bunch of
pikers" compared to such old
masters as "Shipwreck" Kelly
and "Hold 'Em Joe" Powers.
Back in the roaring 20s,
Watkins reminisced, Kelly
and Powers clung to bosun's
chairs or equally skimpy
perches while they waged
their famous battle for the
world sitting championship.
Not Excited
Watkins couldn't get excit
ed about the efforts of Mauri
Rose Kirby, 17-year-old girl
who ensconced herself with
books, radio and telephone
Aug. 16 in a little hut atop a
utlity pole in Indianapolis and
announced she would try to
crack the modern sitting 'rec
ord of 169 days aloft.
"The sitters today are a
bunch of pikers," said Wat
kins, whose company claims
to be the oldest manufacturers
of flagpoles in the United
States. "They practically live
in houses with all the com
forts of home."
Powers touched off the see
saw contest with Kelly by sit
ting for 16 days and two
hours on the flagpole atop
the 42-story Morrison Hotel
in Chicago.
Kelly came right back by
roosting on a pole atop a Ne
wark N.J., hotel for 18 days
and incidentally earning up to
$500 a day while acquiring
a callous and a suntan.
The pair kept right, on
whomping each other until
Powers beat Kelly, 52 days to
51, aboard a building on Chi
cago's Northwest Sid. ,
Champion Slander
Kelly, not to be outdone,
shinnied right back up and
became the champion flagpole
stander with a nine hour and
47 minute stint above the Ho
tel Belvedere in New York.
After World War II a new
generation took up flagpole
sitting. Ozzie Hamilton Os
borne slid down a Long
Beach, Calif., flagpole in Sep-
Salmon Fishermen
Have Good Start
Astoria (UPD Commercial
fishermen here reported Fri
day that the fall salmon sea
son was off to a good start
with many boats bringing can
ners 700-pound loads and other
boats laden with about a ton
of fish. Quality was reported
good.
There were also indications
that the albacore run was
holding up well with tuna
boats getting good catches
about 100 miles off the Ore
gon coast in waters south of
Newport. Otter trawlers were
making substantial catches of
bottom fish.
tember 1948 with a new mark
of 52 days, 13 hours and 58
minutes.
The next month Milton Van
Nolan completed a 70-day
ride in a horse saddle atop a
San Francisco pole. His mark
was topped in 1949 by Qharlie
Lupica, who- spent 117 days
aloft in Cleveland in a vain
attempt to root his beloved
Indians to an American
League pennant.
At last report the modern
record was 169 days set by
Kathleen (Flagpole Kitty)
Donham in Tacoma Park,
Wash., in 1955,
That's only the modern rec
ord. The all-time, world rec
ord actually was etched for
posterity some 1,400 years
ago by Simeon the Younger,
who thought he could atone
for the world's sins by staying
aloft.
He stuck it out atop a pillar
for 68 years. He would have
done better except he died up
there. .
Crafer Student Is Named lo Post at District Meeting
Central Point John Cas
ter, Crater High school, was

advisor, and Ed Manary, state
president from Sheridan, gave
short talks. Other guests were
Roger Schonborn, Molalla,
state secretary, and LeRoy
Lim, Canby, Oregon state sen
tinel. '
Morgan commented on the
problem of leadership
throughout the state and men
tioned several amendments to
the national FFA constitution
to be considered at the nation
al FFA convention in Kansas
City next month. Manary
spoke on the responsibilities
of the district and chapter of
ficers. The district voted to pur
chase a district parliamentary
banner. Later, officers of each
chapter represented con
ferred on a program of work
of their chapters. Main topics
of the programs are supervised
farming, cooperation,, com
munity service, leadership,
earnings and savings, recrea
tion, conduct of meetings, and
scholarship.
The district meeting next
year will be held in Marsh
field. District chapters are Myrtle
