Carpet Care
Chicago - (UPD - The Amer
ican Carpet Institute suggests
two ways to protect stair car
peting, which takes the rough
est wear of any rug in the
home.
One is to lay the carpeting
with an extra foot of length
folded under against one or
two risers at the top of the
stairs. When the carpet; on
the stair edge needs a rest,
shift . the rug down an inch
or two, folding the excess ma
terial against the lowest
riser.
Do this before, not after,
signs of wear appear.
- The second way is to install
an underlay or carpet cush
ion, with particular attention
to the edges.
.
Shake Corduroy
. New York - (UPD - When
.laundering wash and wear
corduroy, shake the garment
thoroughly a couple of times
during the drying, and give
it a light all-over brushing.
This method helps restore the
original velvety texture. ,

21 NORTH CENTRAL
Portland Conventions are filled with everything but
time. Tuesday night it was well after midnight before we
returned to the hotel after seeing "My Fair Lady," Wednes
day morning everyone rose at the crack of dawn in order
to get organized for a trip to the Clatsop County Tree Farm
beginning at 8 a.m.; we returned from that excursion about
11 p.m. dog tired; here it is Thursday morning with the busi
ness sessions supposed to begin at 8 a.m.
So this delegate is doing her writing before breakfast
and hoping that the guests on either side of us can't hear
the clacking typewriter.
Four big Gray line sightseeing busses took the conven
tioneers on yesterday's tour to show off the wonders of
Oregon scenery and the lumber industry. Women who gasped
and exclaimed over their first sight of a loaded log truck
were taken through the tall timber, watched a high climber
cut the top out of a tall hemlock and bring another one
crashing to earth with a monstrous swish and roar, saw how
logs were put on the trucks with a high lead loading tower
and then follow the trucks to the pond and watched a big
crane pick up the entire load, encircled with a steel strap,
and drop it in the water like a gigantic bunch of asparagus.
, All this was both old and new to Potpourri. We grew up
in log camps and mill towns and still live where the sound of
the logging trucks wakes us up on summer mornings. But
it had been a long time since we'd heard men talk about
whistle punks and choker setters and high climbers. As a
child we watched men logging with donkey engines, knew
about the greased skids on which the big logs shot down the
sides of mountains and hit the pond with a mighty splash;
we grew ud to the sound of chugging log trains. But power-
driven chain saws and the big "cats" and multiple-wheeled
logging trucks were unknown in our youth.
. The tour was sponsored by Crown Zellerbach corporation
and West Coast Lumbermen's association in cooperation with
the Oregon Game commission, Oregon Fish commission and
various other' state groups, the Seaside Chamber of Com
merce and Chefs de Cuisine Society of Oregon. Each bus
was "staffed" with two or three men to herd the conven
tioneers around, and answer questions; to our lot fell C. H.
Willison, a forester for CZ, Bob Holloway of the Game com
mission and Frank Deckabaugh, another CZ employee. -
Mr. Willison inquired if his friends, Agnes and George
Flanagan, were back yet from South America, and asked that
we relay his regards. The men were gold mines of informa
tion, provided a running commentary both as the bus trav
eled and at stops, opened and closed bus windows and ven
tilators, pointed out the location of rest rooms, helped the
infirm up and down steps (Presswomen come in all ages
and are determined not to miss anything) helped with the
food and drink at lunch and dinner and even led group
singing. -
Luncheon clam chowder and cole slaw, was served at
Klootchey Creek park. Here visitors can see the world's
largest spruce and fir trees. The Sitka spruce is 195 feet tall
and the oldest Douglas fir, located near the park, is esti
mated to be at least 1,000 years old, is 15.7 feet in diameter
at breast height and is 225 feet tall to a broken top 30 inches
in diameter at the break.
Mr. Willison told us that the hemlock, felled while we
watched, had probably been 250 years in the growing; it
took the men only a brief time to bring it down. To hear
about the tree farm practices of CZ however, encourages
one about the future of the lumbering industry and the
conservation of the nation's forest. We heard about how the
forest is managed like any other farm, to preserve as well
as to provide lumber products, and were told about re-
logging, salvage logging, pre-logging, seed blocks, selective
logging and something about reforestation. However, a young
man who has not yet lost his Norwegian accent admitted
that in his native country they have a program of tree farm
ing and conservation which dates back a hundred years
and which is admittedly superior to that of the U.S. in many
respects.
Running more than an hour behind schedule, the women
and their hosts pulled in at Ecola State park to find a feast
of venison, elk meat and salmon waiting their arrival. The
menu started with "Lumber Jill" cocktails, including Smokey
Delight, Hooktender's Special, Cougar Milk, Gandy Dancer,
Fernhopper's Special, Spruce' Sling and Hemlock Punch.
What came later was better, though. Chef Charles M.
Altorfer of the Congress Hotel and Chef Jimmy Naysmith of
the Bonneville Administration building cafeteria barbecued
the venison and elk steaks over a huge bed of coals and the
efficient men from the various sponsoring groups served it
up with the salmon, pineherb butter, bullwhacker beans,
punk (bread), slush (coffee) and hootinanny pastries. These
delicious little confections were topped with frosting cones,
twigs, etc., which were never prepared by a lumberjack.
It was cold at Ecola park Potpourri shivered in spite
of wool slacks and a heavy sweater but the guests some
of whom had never seen the ocean before, were ecstatic. The
view from the park promontory is one of the most beautiful
along the Oregon coast: Wednesday night there were only
scattered clouds and the moon made a path of silver on the
water as dusk fell. A dozen times we heard some awe-struck
voice say "I'll always remember this night and this view."
,
These women are a colorful lot, to put it mildly. One
has been wearing a cotton dress which is printed with the
masthead and news columns of the weekly paper she and her
husband operate. She is Helen Vanderburg of the Shell Rock
News in Iowa. During the Ecola park picnic Potpourri fell in
with a young woman from West Memphis, Ark., who is the
editor and publisher of a daily and a weekly, who owns a
job shop and a photography shop. Her last name is Woolfolk
she was surprised to hear that there are Woolfolks in Ore
gon, too, and her conversation and accent kept a circle of
delighted listeners around her at all times.
During a breezy bit of banter with a jolly, rotund man
whose name we never learned, she "bought", the Tillamook
lighthouse which can be seen from Ecola park. When we
inquired what she planned to do with it, Miss Woolfolk
Eye catching summer treat is Sweet Cherry Revel Pit.
To make wash, pit, halve and measure two cups of fresh
sweet cherries. Combine with 1 No. 2 can pineapple tidbits,
drained. Cook 1 package of vanilla pudding mix and two
cups of milk according to package directions. Cool. Pour
one-half of pudding into a baked pie shell, spoon over on,
half of the fruit mixture. Top with remaining pudding and
then remaining fruit. Chill. Whip Vz cup of heavy cream,
add 1 tablespoon sugar and few drops pure vanilla, serve
over pie. Makes 8 to 8 servings.

Petticoat Influence In
Third League Ball Team
By LEROY POPE
United Press International
New York -UPD- It wouldn't
be surprising if the new third
major baseball league has a
strong petticoat influence in
the front office. "
Two ladies each will own
one-third of the projected
New York club of the Contin
ental league. The remaining
third will be divided among
three mere males, who aren't
nearly so wealthy as the two
women Mrs. Dorothy Killam
and Mrs. Joan S. Payson.
No feminine backers have
been disclosed among the oth
er prospective club owners.
But it will not be surprising
if more petticoated "angels"
turn up before the Continental
actually fields its first teams.
If memory serves aright,
the only previous female own
ers of big league ball clubs
were the nieces of the late
Col. Jake Rupert of the New
York Yankees, and Mrs.
Grace Comiskey of the Chica
go White Sox.
Of the two ladies in the
New York Continental set up,
the more colorful is Mrs,
Dorothy Killam, a St. Louis
woman who has spent most
of her life in Montreal.
She is the widow of Jack
Killam, who was a Canadian
lumber, mining and paper
magnate and Brooklyn Dodg
er fan par excellence. He once
spent thousands of dollars to
lease a private cable channel
to pipe telecasts of Dodger
games into Montreal just for
Mrs. Killam and himself.
Mrs. Killam, a Dodger
rooter for 20 years, was a
baseball fan even as a little
girl.
"I used to go to Sports.
man's Park to see the old St.
Louis Browns play," she said
in an interview.
She met Killam on vacation
in Europe, soon married him
and settled in Canada. There
were no children.
"It was my husband's idea
to buy the Dodgers, and I
kept on trying to buy the team
after he died. My husband and
I were impressed by the Dodg
ers' terrific desire to win and
the extreme loyalty of the
colorful Brooklyn fans," she
said.
So, year in year out, the
Killams were frequent box
seat fans at Ebbetts Field.
After Killam's death Mrs.
Killam kept going to the
games.
"I know all the Brooklyn
club officials, Mr. Richey, Mr.
O'Malley, Mr.,Bavasi and all
the managers Leo Durocher,
Burt Shotton, Chuck Dresen
and Walter Alston and most
of the star players," she said.
Offered $8 Million
It's reported she offered $8
million to O'Malley to keep
the the Dodgers in Brooklyn.
Mrs. Killam is an all-round
outdoor woman. She is a fly
fishing expert and has her
own salmon camp in eastern
Canada.
She was asked if she had
tried to buy the Giants and
keep them in New York when
she couldn t get. the Dodgers
answered in her soft drawl, "Why take it home, of cohse
and put it on the banks of the Mississippi. You know, ouah
rivah is something biggah than that pond out theah" and
she swept ari arm in the direction of the Pacific ocean. O.S
P.S. We forgot to mention that this is the annual conven
tion of the National Federation of Presswomen; Ila Grant of
the Bend Bulletin sends her love to the Mail Tribune news
room gang and Mrs. Margaret M. Semmler, a woman in her
70's who has just sold the last of four weekly newspapers
which she and her family operated for a long time in Illinois
just out of Chicago, remembers Pal Peg from the days the
latter attended meetings of the Presswomen in Chicago and
is getting together a list of the Illinois delegation to send
along later. O.S.
