Oregon, Monday, October 13. 1958 How to Re-set Stomach Air Travelers7 Problem (Editor's Note: UPI Wom en's Edilor Gay Pauley has gone lo lhe other side of the world to see what it's like, es pecially for women. This is ihe first of a number of dis patches in which she will re port as soon as her stomach catches up with ihe clock how Far Eastern living com pares with ours.) By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor . Tokyo-JUPD-The big prob lem of air travel on a long hop is one, not of re-setting the clock, but of re-setting the stomach. Only thing is, there's not much either the airlines or a creature conditioned to the breakfast-then-lunch-then din ner routine can do about it, and it probably will get worse for all of us tourists with the jet ' age when we cross time zones even faster. On a flight from New York to Tokyo, my appetite's at tempts at readjustment began "shortly after I boarded a flight in time for lunch and ended when I landed in Tokyo, also in time for lunch. This is half-way around the world, and in my case two inches mora around the .waistline because flying west seems always to be flight into the dinner hour, and dinners aboard a Japan Air Lines J. A. L. flight hardly are for the dieting set Eats Two Dinners En route to San Francisco, I ate lunch very early, a seven-course dinner over Salt Lake City and arrived in San Francisco in what my stom ach said was time for a mid night snack. But it was just dinner-time for San Francisco so I joined friends for another meal. An overnight stop helped a little toward read justment because somehow FLOORGOVERING SERVICE 127 NORTH RIVERSIDE We Install Your LINOLEUM, CARPET.

Equivalent to OVER TWO YEARS of normal Dry CUaniaj "Professional Care for the tummy was ready for breakfast the next morning with the rest of San Fran cisco. But the confusion began anew when I boarded J. A. L. for the Orient. Because, we weren't too far out over the Pacific until it was dinner time, with champagne and all the trimmings. Eight hours later, with a snack in between, it was time for breakfast, the stomach said. But by this time we were in Honolulu, and if was dinner time there. After a stop to pick up Hawaiian pas sengers, we ate dinner aboard again-shrimp, squab, cham pagne and all trimmings. Some eight hours later, we landed at Wake Island to re fuel. The stomach kept say ing it's time for breakfast, but airborne again - we ate dinner - steak and potatoes. Some seven hours later, just before landing in Tokyo, it was snacktime-the stomach said a snack before retiring, the clock said for mid-morning. Lunch in Tokyo We landed in Tokyo at noon . . . just in time for friends to take me to lunch. My last breakfast had been in San Francisco, but at least I hadn't gone hungry. I had lost one whole day, however by crossing the Internation al Dateline in the Pacific. It was Sunday in Tokyo, but Saturday with football games and grocery marketing in New York and Dallas and South Bend and New Haven. The mind says measure ment of time is relative. But try telling that to the travel er's stomach. Incidentally, I'll get back my lost day because I go home the same flight route I came. But the question now is will i always be eating breakfast instead of dinner? It'll help the fit of my clothes. Some of the passengers on my flight complained they'd never recover that day, be cause they go from Tokyo home through India, the Mid dle East, Europe and the Transatlantic route. They don't recross the Internation al Dateline. "A whole day of life gone," one executive moaned. "A whole Saturday in which I could have been playing golf."

Name Imprinted CHRISTMAS CARDS Largest Selection to Choose From On the Balcony, at one and a quarter million dol lars. , "We don't talk about it too much," said Betty Barnes, "eople somehow win( up with an idea of a couple of women toiling in the fertil izer business. It's really noth ing like that at all." Miss Barnes' partner is Martha Parks. The two wo men came up with a mixture of ground charcoal, redwood leaf mold, peat moss and five "other ingredients," called "Black Magic." . The ladies first made the mixture on a canvas spread on the living room floor. They distributed the mix in a pick up truck-"rented of course." Now they have a large, mod ern plant near Los Angeles. The venture began when they met on a double date 10 years ago. Intrigued by the facts that charcoal is very ab sorbent and that soil inside most modern decorative con tainers doesn't support plant life too well, they began their own research. After much reading and experimenting on the living room canvas they found the product they had been hunting for. It absorbed the plant's poisonous wastes, something which soil in most planters cannot do for very long. ' . "We knew there was a need for this sort of thing," Miss Parks said. I guess that any thing which will grow in earth will grow in our mixture." , The women still are good friends. They have a formula for their successful, partner ship,' a business which attor neys say usually has many weaknesses. "We always make decisions jointly," Miss Barnes said. "If something comes up on which we disagree, we put it aside for a while, then try again. Usually it's solved with no difficulty. I suppose that if there's any division of duty, I handle people, and Martha handles sales." The women, unlike male business tycoons, worry con stantly about their employees and their community. They're active in many civic groups including garden clubs. Miss Parks' has held jobs as supervisor in charge of grad ing walnuts and a part in a picture starring Rita Hay worth ("Girls Will Play"). They wanted someone who looked wholesome and had a way with animals for one pic ture," she said. "It was a mem orable experience, trying out for the part. I. had to romp with a young leopard to prove I was qualified." Miss Barne's jobs ranged from hiring pilots and subbing for a nurse to running an elevator, "We each have our own houses," Miss Barnes - said. "Lots of plants in our mix ture, of course. I, however, have cats." "And I," said Miss Parks "have dogs.

Senator Phil Lowry (R-Med-ford) proposed that the com mittee call for abolition of the tax as unsound and inequit able. Rep. Clarence Barton (D Coquille) suggested a counter proposal to the effect that the group had not had enough time to adequately consider abolition and that no thought had been given . as to what other income would replace the tax. The committee voted to go along with Barton and leave it in the hands of the Legis lature. The committee said it would "suggest" but not "recom mend" three possible ways of getting more tax revenue to the 1959 Legislature. One would eliminate the deduction for federal income tax paid; another would elim inate personal exemptions and substitute dollar tax credits after income tax is computed and a third would' require self-employed persons to file estimates of income and pay the tax quarterly. ' , State Sen. Walter J. Pear son and Barton predicted the 1959-61 general fund budget would be $300 to $305 million, compared to the previous budget of $272 million.
