Ullman Offers
Bill for Indians
Washington - IUPD - A bill
to authorize the Warm Springs
Tribe of Oregon to purchase
and develop the "Kahneeta
Hot Springs" on the reserva
tion was introduced Monday

Ullman said the measure,
which he sponsored at the re

experts from Oregon State
college.
He said Congress had a re
sponsibility to encourage the
tribe in continuing its efforts
to become more self-sufficient
economically."
Similar legislation is being
co-sponsored in the Senate by
Sens. Wayne Morse and Mau
rine Neuberger (D-Ore.).

Small Worlds
Around Us
By Lynn M. Watkins
(Register and Tribune Syndicate-1961)
Meat a Flower That
Looks Like a Preacher
You would have to be a
pretty sophisticated person in
deed not to be mildly thrilled
at the sight of the jack-in-the-pulpit
plants that usually
grow so plentifully in wet
woodlands during the early
spring.
In nearly any area where
the ground retains consider
able moisture throughout the
year, especially in the early
spring and summer, the little
plant can be found happily
nodding stiffly its canopied
head in breezes sifting
through the forest trees.
Jack always seems anxious
to come up, sometimes over
plays his hand by appearing
above the forest floor before
the snow is gone and seeming
ly before the gripping hand of
frost has not loosened from
the earth. A warm spring rain
often will fool the plant, and
it pokes its nose up into the
shaded light long before more
timid wild flowers dare show
their faces.
Jack-in-the-pulpit belongs
to the arum family, another
member of which is held in
rather low esteem; the skunk
cabbage. But Jack is an all-
time favorite with children
that walk the early woodland
paths.
Like a Preacher
They liken it to just what
it appears to be a small, dig
nified preacher, with a sound
ing board over his head, talk
ing to all the friends and
neighbors of his woodland so
ciety. Really jack-in-the-pulpit
came by his name in a natural
and logical manner. A long
time ago pulpits in old church
es always had a nood over
them.
Probably for this reason the
jack-in-the-pulpit was likened
to that in churches because
of the rounded canopy, and
of course to the little "min
ister" who always stands stif
fly erect within it; he just had
to be "Jack."
Under favorable conditions
the pulpit under which Jack
stands is a rich purple color;
but if direct sunlight pene
trates the forest the canopy
over his head becomes a light
shade of green, sometimes
streaked with purple veins.
Deep Brown
In some plants the hood
may be a deep shade of
brown. If you fold back the
edges of the tube where it is
split down the side, you will
find at the bottom of the spike
a dense cluster of tiny green
flowers. In some plants there
will be only stamens; in others
only seed vessels. These tiny
flowers have no .petals.
The leaves of the jack-in-
the pulpit are made up In al
three - pointed arrangement
with smooth edges. The leaves
have short stalks which clasp
the stem at the base. Each
plant usually have two leaves
"Jack" is really the spadix,
or spike.
All this is cool scientific
fact. Better, however, are the
words and the message con
veyed by one of the beloved
poems of childhood:
Jack in the Puplit preaches
today,
Under the trees, just over
the way.
Green is his surplice, green
are his hands,
In his queer little pulpit,
the little priest stands.
