o SUNDAY, JUNK 12, 1960 medFord mail tribune, medford, ore. For the pat few years friends and neighbors of Al and Ella White have been saying "Why don't you write about the Whites and their horses?" The women's editor scrib bled notes to herself and about once a month we'd find one of these in a purse or mixed in with the facts and figures bout a meeting. '. Last winter we talked to Mrs. White on me phone, and at last the reporter-photographer team made it out to the White's ranch on Thompson creek. The picture and note taking spread over a couple of hours, but' since this writer knows almost nothing about horses, Mrs. W. had to come into the Tribune newsroom a couple of times and help out with "horse talk." We learned that "My Buddy," whose picture didn't make it when the final layout was planned, is a hackney with the customary docked tail, that his sire was Brookside Comet and his dam Broken Heart. The Hobo, a long-tailed hackney, had ancestors with the interesting names of Pad dock Lane Stormmaster and Longview Chimes. Dashing Jet Primrose, a standard bred road horse was sired by Prudential and his dam was Mazie Primrose. , At the ranch we met Martin and Zoe Bauernfeind (we should have taken up Mrs. B.'s wager that the name would not be spelled correctly) and learned about their Welsh pony and his pedigree. His real name is Silver Star Marks Llndy, his sire was Cul Mark and his dam Silver Star's Beautiful Doll. No wonder these horse owners have to keep the names written down in books otherwise no one would remember exactly what names were in what order. We musn't forget beautiful Pikaki Chief, originally own ed and named by a couple in Hawaii. The White's call this gorgeous American saddle bred horse Champ, and he is a great favorite at the ranch. ' In addition to learning about how horses are trained for Viceroy and sulky use, with chains and weights and "bitting rigs" we learned that like every other sport or, hobby or recreation in this country, everything is done according to the strictest rules and regulations. Ella White won several hundreds dollars when she drove In the horse show in the San Francisco Cow Palace last fall, and she was most happy to do. so. The money just about covered the cost of the fancy little patent leather Viceroy cart. We asked how she got the cart to S.F., and learned that the Whites take it apart, put the wheels and seat in the back of the station wagon, and the shafts on top, just like the winter sports fans carry their skis. The Whites love cats and dogs almost as much as horses. Mrs. W, said they had four dogs and I don't know how many cats." Tiny and a large shepherd were mixed up with the horses and men all morning, but we learned that this doesn't bother either the men or the horses. In fact, a show horse is trained not to be upset or nervous about strangers or different animals, but Mrs. White said that once her hackney pony. Buddy almost took to the air when a Brahma bull roared practically in his ear. Mrs. White and Buddy will go to Eugene Friday where she will enter the Eugene Spring Horse show. The horses are also familiar with the little black and white skunks, too. Mrs. White comes home from their Med ford restaurant every evening with meat scraps for the dogs and cats, and recently observed that one skunk was eating with the cats. When she is a little later than usual, the little visitor is impatiently waiting in the back yard for her arrival. In years gone by the White's ranch would be swarming with boys and young men in the summer time. Each boy was assigned a horse to ride and care for, and had a wonderful time. One of these was Bill Dellinger, Grants Pass, who later turned into a famous University of Oregon and Olympic distance runner. Bill often visits the Whites, and they reminisce about the summers he trained by run ning up and down a steep hill at the back or the pastures. Photographer Bob was accompanied by his family Sun day, and Pappy went along to chauffeur the Doll (a car, not a horse). Pappy wasn't particularly interested in the horses and their names, but did a little naming himself. Mrs. White's Siamese cat joined the group, and she explained that his peculiar walk was caused by a stiff left hind leg he got tangled up with the Cadillac one night and had to be taken to the vet for extensive repairs. Pappy took one look at the Siamese and said "Is his name Chester?"

The climate in western Ore gon is near ideal for roses, Oregon State college plant ex perts point out. Mild winters, plenty of moisture, and mo derate summer temperatures combine to produce roses here that are unexcelled. The journals of Lewis and Clark called attention to the beauty and size of roses in Oregon, Dr. Helen M. Gilkey, professor emeritus of botany, noted. And the fact that Ore gon has at least seven native roses is evidence that the state is a good one for the flower, she added. All of the native roses are pink. Best known today of the wild roses is the Sweetbriar, which found growing condi tions so favorable that it has spread into pastures and grain fields and become a nuisance in some areas. Sweetbriar was brought to Oregon by early settlers who were "homesick for some thing that reminded them of home," she added. The bril liant yellow rose found in the John Day area was also introduced here by early gardeners. Roses have undergone some radical changes in Oregon's 101 years, says Dr. Paul Mi ler, USDA plant pathologist at the college and one of the state s leading rose growers. Today's roses are more near ly everyblooming and are more colorful but they are not as fragrant in general as the old-fashioned roses, he stated. Some of the fragrance has been lost in breeding for per fection of form, vigor and disease resistance, Miller ex plained. "Roses look better now, but don't smell quite as good," he said. When Oregon was admitted to the Union, there were no hybrid tea roses in existence, Miller stated. Today, the hy brid tea, the floribunda (cross between a hybrid tea and a polyantha) and the grandi flora (cross between a flori bunda and a hybrid tea) are the predominant types. Mildew, a fungus leaf di sease, is a problem In Oregon but OSC is now working on improved controls with a $3000 research grant from the American Rose Foundation. Dr. Ira Deep of the plant pathology department is proj ect leader. Because western Oregon roses are not killed back by frost, they grow larger and more vigorous than those in most other places of the .coun try. Miller stated. The mo derate summer temperatures help make blooms more color ful and longe- lasting. Roses "sulk" in real hot weather areas and the blooms are small and fade out quickly, 4 Smart Shavers New York-flJPD-Women have found extra uses for their rntarv-action electric razors, They use them to trim neck line hair and even to remove "pills"-balls of wool on sweat ers, reports one maker of elec tric shavers.
