Queen's Footsteps
Milan, Italy OTPll In 1893
Queen Margherita of Savoy -wearing
a large hat with
ostrich feathers and an ankle
length gown - trudged to the
top of 15,000-foot Mount Rosa.
This month, more than 100
women Alpinists will follow
in the Queen's footsteps de
spile the fact various Alpine
clubs around Europe don't
like the idea.
Mass climbs, they say, are
just too dangerous.
However, the organizer of
the climb, Italian journalist
and Alpinist Fulvio Campiotti,
said: "If the Queen could do
it, we certainly can. In Aug
ust, 1893, she reached the
peak, wearing a large hat with
ostrich feathers and an ankle-
length gown - the gay 90's
fashions.
Campiotti added that "the
purpose is the most important
thing." The climb is to honor
French woman Alpinist
Claude Kogan and Belgian
Claudine Vonder Stratten,
both killed during a climbing
expedition in the Himalayas
last year.
So far, 112 women climbers
- 110 Italians and two Aus
trians - have signified they
will make the climb.
Campiotti said that "when
mass climbing is organized,
all risks are limited within
safety measures. Any claim
that the expedition would be
dangerous is simply ridicu
lous." He said the. women will
climb in groups of three to
the top of the mountain. They
will carry walkie-talkies and
other safely devices.
Potpourri dislikes lo admit that there is anything wrong
with the climate or scenery or living conditions in southern
Oregon. But circumstances force us to admit that there is
something wrong with summer. It's the mosquitoes. As far
as we are concerned, the mosquitoes are becoming more
numerous, more powerful , and more poisonous every year.
One of our favorite summer delights is to eat our meals on
the patio, and to sleep outdoors under "the stars. For more
than a week now outdoor living has been well-nigh im
possible because of the pesky little creatures which keep us
awake with their humming and leave the big, itchful bumps
when they bite,
And don't tell us about ointments and sprays. We've
tried them all. One brand of goop to spray on face and
arms works pretty well when the mosquitoes make an oc
casional foray during an evening. But when they become
so numerous that they hover over, the shrubbery and plants
in clouds, and cluster on the screens, just waiting to swoop
inside, nothing seems to help.
We watch those women in television advertisements grace
fully spraying a bit. of this or that insecticide here and there
and just give a great, big "Pooh!" Both Pappy and Potpourri
have sprayed gallons of stuff and junk all around the patio
and the side yard and the front lawn until everything drip
ped. Within an hour, there the miserable creatures are, just
as thick and voracious as ever. We burn smelly candles,
too, when we linger outdoors after dinner. That doesn't
seem to discourage these winged pests one bit.
If scientists can make atom bombs and machines that
carry men to the moon, why can't Ihey do something about
mosquitoes';
Taking to heart a request from the United Nations as
sociation, Mrs. Harlan Bosworth called in Saturday morning
to find out if The Tribune planned to publish any more
material about the anniversary of the fall of the first atom
bomb. The UN is anxious that the United States not cease
its effort for peace, and finds the anniversary of Hiroshima
a fitting time to point out the horrors of modern warfare.
Over the phone from her peaceful and secure farm and
river home in the Applegate, Mrs. Bosworth read us a state
ment which came from the people of Hiroshima.
"Hiroshima thinks it would be wrong to forget that sum
mer morning on August 6. On each August 6 morning at the
fateful hour of 8:15 a.m. its people throng to a ceremony in
Peace park which marks the place on which the bomb burst.
There is a crypt, with the names of all known victims and a
modern museum with photos and other grim reminders of the
bombing.
"We gather here, one survivor said, not so much to
remind ourselves, as the world. If we are remembered, we
believe there is a great hope, a hope that there will be no
more Hiroshimas, any time, any where."
Mrs. Bosworth also called attention to a paragraph from
the Disarmament Information committee in New York City.
"According to some observers, the continued opposition to a
test ban treaty by some forces within the Administration
is still complicating the task of the U.b. policy maKers
Commenting on the situation, Thomas Hamilton wrote m
The New York Times June 5: . . . 'it may well be that Mr.
Khrushchev's tough language is somehow proof of his fear
that the armaments race will bring war unless something
can be done. If that is the case, an agreement could be
reached on stopping nuclear tests, if the opposition Wash
ington can be overcome.' " O.S.

By ROSE McKEE
Rocca Sinibalda, Italy - An
American woman owns and
lives in a 15th century castle
here which she is slowly re
storing to its feudal grandeur.
Mrs. Caresse Crosby, a one
time Boston society girl who
has had an eventful life on
both sides of the Atlantic, said
she could spend 30 years car
rying out her plans for the
castle.
It is a vast, beautiful struc
ture of native gray stone and
brick with rounded towers.
battlements, roof-walks, halls
and courtyards which open to
the sky. Built imaginatively
in the shape of an eagle with
outstretched wings, the castle
stands on a rocky hilltop in
the foothills of the Apennines,
about an hour's drive from
Rome.
Mrs. Crosby 'and her late
husband, Harry, were among
the avant garde of intellectu
al leaders in Paris in the
1920's. She has been a pub
lisher and patroness of the
arts but since purchasing the
castle from Vatican sources in
1958, it has been her summer
career. She has a home in
Washington, D.C., where she
usually spends her winters.
Vatican Owned
The Vatican acquired the
rastle vears aco with the in
tention of using it as a school
but it proved too inaccessible
and was closed for a long
time. Mrs. Crosby told an in
terviewer from the National
Association of Home Builders
in Washington.
She has restored the 1,200
square meters oi rea-uieu
roof and has attempted to put
in modern plumbing and elec
tricity. "It was lough getting the
plumbing," Mrs. Crasby said,
"because they wouldn't let me
put it in where you might ex
pect it to be put." Although
she owns the castle, it is an
Italian national monument
and there are restrictions on
what she can do in moderniz
ing it for convenience sake.
She said the official esti
mate is that the castle has 177
rooms but "the workmen tell
me they have uncovered 200
rooms." She has put in four
bathrooms, a minimum neces
sity since Mrs. urosoy lets
young writers and artists live
in the castle during the sum
mers. At first, she told them,
"Come and bring your own
bathroom."
Dream Place'
To her the castle is a
dream place of quiet beau
ty." She enjoys wandering
through its halls, many of
them still not in use, but she
never has the feeling that it
i spooky place. "It's a
friendly castle," she said.
The walls of the immense
room she uses as a living
room are purple - a shade dis
covered when they were being
cleaned. She liked the unus
ual, mellow color and de
cided quickly that it would
stay. Frescoes of the Raphael
school were uncovered near
the ceiling. Mrs. Crosby, be
lieves that more murals will
be found as the walls of other
rooms are cleaned.
"The saving grace in re
storing the castle," she said,
has been the people ot tne
village. They are helpful, in
terested in the work and tney
do the work so very well."
The village of Rocco Sini
balda literally is "wrapped
around" the castle. The houses
curve and nestle close lo the
castle's footing, and looking
down on their red-tiled roofs
is one of the pleasures of
mounting the battlements.
The view is incomparable.
The panorama includes a
sweeping, wooded valley, the
Turano river which "is fa
mous for its trout and fresn
water shrimp, and moun
tains.
Mrs. Crosby said the castle
was designed Dy reruzzi,
famed 15th century architect
who was influenced by Raph
ael. The Vatican in 1530 de
creed that whoever owned
Rocco Sinibalda castle should
have the title of prince or
princess.
Loved By People
'The people of the village
seem to think I am (a princess)
but I don't try to prove it in
any way," Mrs. Crosby said.
She is a small, gray-haired
woman with a happy cxpres-
s on. The villagers m.iue u
clear to the visitor that tney I
love her.
Climbing the wide, earthen
steps to the castle's living
quarters is something of a
chore, but one Mrs. Crosby
circumvents. She had a litter
made and is carried up and
down the castle side.
Her exits and entrances con
trast dramatically with that
of the castle's original feudal
lords. They rode out on
horses, with helmets, spears,
and banners flying to maraud
neighboring rivals, Mrs. Cros
by said. She explained that as
manv as 100 horses were
stabled in the subterranean j
passages of the castle In those
feudal days.
She runs the castle with the.
help of three women, castle
guardian who "knows every'
stone and step" of the struc
ture, a gardener-helper and
his son, who is the "resident
electrician."
Eventually, Mrs. Crosby
plans to use one of the halls
as an art gallery. It has a
"lovely light," she comment
ed and, like the other rooms,
a stone floor. She plans, too,
to build a swimming pool.
"There are just endless pos
sibilities." said the quiet-man
nered, smiling Mrs. Crosby,
"but there is still a tremen
dous amount of work ahead
to make the castle what
dream it can be."
