Lenten
Message
By
THE REV. CARYLE ADAMS
Stated Clerk, Presbytery of
Albany. N.Y..
United Presbyterian Church
(Written tor UPI)
A little cluster of friends
stands beside an open grave.
The last prayers are said and
there is a last look at the
flower-decked casket. Some
one says softly, "We will re
member him for the good
things he said and did!"
Our immortality on earth
lies in the way we are remem
bered. The richness of our
daily experience rises out of
those things we remember,
and those things which our
memory prompts us to
achieve. ' :r
Lent is a time of remem
brance. In the rush of daily
business we let our love grow
cold and we place distances
between ourselves and God.
When we begin, each year,
the Lenten journey we recall
. the life and challenge of
Jesus Christ who revealed
God to us and whose remem
' brance renews that revela
tion. Bridge of Sorrow
Lent becomes the bridge of
sorrow, the bridge of victory
and vision, by which we cross
over again into the fullness
of faith in Him from whom
our preoccupation with ma
terial things has brought a
separation. . .
One Friday afternoon in
Jerusalem I walked from the
Convent of the Sisters of
Zion built over the Judge
ment Hall of Pilate through
the winding streets and up
the steep stairway to the site
of Calvary. There we stood
and worshipped in the recol
lection of the daring and de
votion of One who made tri
umph out of tragedy because
of the power of absolute love.
The remembrance that
filled my mind on that silent
journey made the world of
discord fade away so that the
love of God became the puri
fying light that left only his
purity and truth alive with
in me.
One always goes back to
the world in its stark reality,
but the act of remembrance
had kindled a light.

Morse Holding Back
Co-Sponsorship of
Oregon Dunes Bill
By A. ROBERT SMITH
Mail Tribune
Washington Correspondent
Washington (Special) - Sen.
Wayne Morse has declined to
join Sen. Maurine Neuberger
in co-sponsoring
legislation
to create an
Oregon Dunes
Seashore park
- but Morse is
In a bargain
ing mood on
the question.
If Sen. Neu
berger would
Smttb go along with
one alteration he has pro
posed, Sen. Morse would co
sponsor the proposal, he ex
plained. Morse said he opposes giv
ing the Interior department
any authority to condemn pri
vate property within the pro
posed park boundaries. Under
the Neuberger bill, unless
zoning codes, approved by the
secretary of the Interior, are
adopted, the federal govern
ment could eventually force
local property owners to sell
their property.
"I don't propose to give the
secretary that power," said
Morse. "The right of eminent
domain should never be grant
ed unless the public necessity
clearly demands it. I have yet
to see any necessity for the
exercise of eminent domain
in this area. Only a small
percentage of the land area is
privately owned. A park can
be created without the govern
ment acquiring all the private
property."
Should Have Choice
Morse said the property
owners should have a choice
of selling or staying. He pre
dicted that a good many
would sell to the government,
if given a fair price. But he
said they should have that
choice, and not be forced to
sell at the price set by the
government.
"I am all for the recreation
al aims and purposes of this
proposal," the senator added.
"Mrs. Neuberger Is to be com
mended for this."
Morse said he plans to offer
his amendment if and when
the Neuberger bill comes up
for Senate debate. He indi
cated he will take a wait-and-see
attitude about whether to
support or oppose the final
bill, if his amendment is not
approved;. '

OK) ?wb
ARE OFFICIAL
Mrs. Neuberger contends
that many parks have been
created by the government
exercising the right of eminent
domain. Among them was the
Fort Clatsop National Monu
ment near Astoria, authorized
by a bill both Morse and her
late husband sponsored giving
condemnation power to the
secretary of the Interior.
Morse claims there are
many parks in which private
property remains intact with
in park boundaries. He said
the guiding principle on the
question of exercising eminent
domain is clear public neces
sity - in some instances only
through condemnation can
land be acquired for a park;
but in other instances, such as
the Oregon coast with its
abundance of public or state
land, there is no necessity to
condemn.
See What Happens
"The important thing, from
a recreational standpoint, is
to get the park established."
Morse said. "Let's do it with
out giving the secretary the
power of eminent domain, and
then see what happens. If it
can then be demonstrated that
the public necessity demands
condemnation of private prop
erty, this power can always
be granted by Congress later.
But there is no reason to go
all the way immediately when
it may not be necessary."
Morse said he thought a
good compromise bill might
contain some zoning code re
quirements, but he did not
favor giving the secretary of
the Interior the authority to
approve or disapprove zoning
codes as the criterion for de
termining whether to exercise
eminent domain.
ReD. Edwin R. Durno, the
new Republican congressman
in whose district the park
would be located, had not had
a chance to examine the new
bill before it was introduced
Monday. He has previously
expressed general opposition
to the idea.

Kennedy Stops
Construction of
Officers7 Club
Washington- (UPO -President
Kennedy, acting on a tip from
a private citizen, has halted
construction of a $200,000 ad'
dition to an officers' club in
Europe designed to make it
'a little more plush," it has
been announced.
But he was too late to halt
the purchase of 140,000 golf
balls by a club in England
or one million bottles of Ger
man beer by another club.
An American woman in Eu
rope supplied the tip on the
officers club ambition. Ken
nedy acted to stop it in the
interest of conserving dollars,
according to an account sup
plied by White House Press
Secretary Pierre Salinger.
Later, Salinger said the
beer and golf ball transactions
were reported to the White
House as "allegations," but
he could not vouch for the re
ports. He said the President
was attempting to check them.
Salinger said the President
wanted more tips like this
from the public, not only on
unnecessary government
spending abroad, but on
"wasteful and unnecessary
spending" In the United States
by any branch of the govern
ment. Asked how the White House
regarded the new Senate
swimming pool, Salinger said
with the proper touch of di
plomacy that he had no posi
tion on this matter.

how hormones affect plant
growth, specific requirements
and influence of day and night
lengths of temperatures and
combinations.

By JIM GILLAN
Mail Tribune Correspondent
White City Organizations
representing the Veterans Ad
ministration Volunteer Serv
ices and comprising commu
nities from southern Oregon
and northern California are
awaiting completion of work
in Building 224, VA domicili
ary at White City, according
to the response and inquiries
directed to Henry C. Herzog,
manager. '
"We have centralized social
recreation sponsored by the
ladies who make up our Do
miciliary volunteer pro
gram," Herzog explained.
"These community -wide
volunteers contribute so
much valuable time, experi
ence and cheerful leadership
to our facility and its veteran
members that we hope the Im
provements will further spur
volunteer activities and mem
ber participation in recrea
tion.
Painters have been busy
for the past several days in
the area, under head painter
Clarence (Peck) Henderson
Facing Crater Lake highway
and with Mr. McLoughlin in
the background, the various
rooms and lounges have been
redone.
Frank J. Glonning, admin
istration assistant to Dr. E. G.
Everett, acting chief medical
officer, and VA head of the
Volunteer Services, says that
volunteer ladies are considei
ing a drape sewing project,
with mate-rials furnished by
the domiciliary, for the
building.
He also mentions plans for
re-furnishing the building
through efforts of a community-wide
volunteer organiza
tion project.
Some 2,200 square feet are
involved ' in the' area now
undergoing extensive renova
tion. Safety Facilities
New and additional safely
facilities are being installed,
supplementing an adequate
sprinkler system for any
needed service against fire
damage.
Plans reveal a new office
for a staff recreation repre
sentative as an aid to super
vision, Vince McGonigcl, re
creation chief, pointed out.
The, recreational activities
will involve both formal and
informal types; group and in
dividual recreation.
Another room is being set
aside as a working office for
members of VAVS groups
which have affairs running in
the building. Another room
is being completely refitted
and furnished as a lounge for
the VAVS volunteers.
A music appreciation room
will be outfitted with Hi-Fi,
and groups assigned by the
station Planning Board and
individuals on their own time
may listen to all types of
music.
A larger room In the mid
dle of the wing will supply
small groups with a place for
meetings, games and other re
creational pursuits.
A complete kitchen,
equipped with an electric
coffee maker, will be avail
able to all of the VAVS
groups and member organiza
tions using the building.
Two rooms are set aside for
closets and storage space.
New Exhaust Fans
The largest room has been
equipped with new exhaust
fans for ventilation and air
cleaning. This room will
house the larger groups and
with its completion will pro
vide space for the functioning
of three activities at the
C -v.
same time within the build
ing. An enclosed porch with
table tennis, deck shuffle
board, darts, and other semi
active games, Is being
readied. At the farthest end
of the large room another
enclosure will contain lock
ers of the VAVS groups and
members' clubs where the
"tools" for games may be
stored.
All new fixtures are being
or have been installed, in
cluding the latest flourescent
lighting. Several additional
electric outlets have been
provided.
"The staff and members of
the domiciliary are certain
that the completion of this
area will once again express
our appreciation lor the fine
ana unsemsn services ren
dered us by the community's
fine families and ladies," Her
zog said.
"Without this faifhful and
constant help we are reluc
tant to visud'ize what our ac
tivities and recreation at this
veterans home would be like,
The mutitudc and excellence
of the VAV3 activities here
certainly are among the fin
est in the nationwide net of
VAVS."
In additon to the station's
painters, the carpenters un
der Earl Edwards, plumbers
under Pat Doyle, electricians
Bob Findley and Ray Stahler,
steamfitler Harold Johnson
and machinist Frank Richard
son, all have devoted special
talents and interest to the
project. - -

Banana Oil Doesn't Come
From Bananas
We get peanut oil from pea
nuts; olive oil from olives;
castor oil from castor oil
beans; fish oil from fish, and
contlonsced oil from cotton
seeds.
But even the ingenuity of
all the scientific minds in the
world never figured out how
to get banana oil from ba
nanas. It can't be done.
You can't even get juice
from them let alone oil. It's
sort of funny, too, for there
is a great deal of banana oil
used. It smells exactly like
bananas, and for that reason
we call it banana oil. It is
produced chemically by ccr.
tain acetic acids combined
with amyl alcohol. It is a
sweet-smeling liquid used as
a solvent, or as a banana
flavoring for confections.
Bananas are not what you
think they are. Whenever we
buy them at the store or even
think about them we say they
are a delicious and nutritious
fruit. They are not fruit.
The botanist classifies them
as elongated berries with
what were once, a long time
ago, remnants of the seeds
buried in the pulp. The fine,
soft specks you sec in the
body of the banana are these
seed remnants.
The banana plant grows
from sprouts but never from
seed, sprouts that spring up
from the underground root
system. Banana seeds are just
as scarce as is banana oil.
After producing one bunch
the plant withers away and
dies, but previous to this it

seemed to have foreseen the
possibility and sent up from
the root system one or more
sprouts in order that the race
of bananas could continue.
The banana plant never be
comes a tree; it can't make
it, for to be a tree It would
have to develop a woody
stem, something a banana
plant never accomplishesThe
trunk of the plant is merely
the bottom ends of the leaves
wrapped snugly together,
each forming a concentric
sheath about its neighbor.
Although the banana
grows extensively in the
America tropics and In some
of the warmer sections of the
U.S., it had its origin in China
and India.
The plant Is closely related
to the canna and bolanlcally
listed as hcrbacious. And an
herb, if you happend to be In
terested, Is any flowering
plant whose above-ground
stem does not become woody.
Not Ordinary
Just to prove to Itself that
this tropical plant is not an
ordinary member of the veg
etable kingdom, the banana
grows its fruit, or more right
ly its bunch of berries, In an
upside down position. The
bunch Is composed of many
"hands" which seem to beg
for the sun and the warm,
tropical rain.
If the fruit Is subjected to
a temperature of 50 degrees
or less for even a relatively
short time, it loses Its banana
flavor. Whip a ripe banana
violently and it turns into a
thick liquid.
