Students To Return
To School Monday
Miss Jo Anna Malloroy and
Miss Judith McFarlan, stu
dents at Judson Baptist col
lege, Portland, are guests of
Miss Malloroy's parents,' Mr.
and Mrs. E. 'A. Malloroy, Cra
ter Lake highway. The young

and will return to school Mon
day. .They are to be joined to
day by Miss McFarlan's par
ents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles
McFarlan, Klamath Falls. Mr.
McFarlan is an announcer

Tucson, Ariz. We've only been in this city about three
hours but already we know that it is a busy, bustling and
noisy place. It is sprawled out over a lot of territory and the
6 o'clock traffic was thick in all directions. The road map
we carry gives the 1950 population as 48,000, and our sister-in-law
here says local residents claim about 220,000, Sounds
fantastic.
We struck up our usual conversation with the waitress
who served our dinner tonight, and asked her about several
men across the restaurant who wore work clothes and hadn't
bothered to remove their metal safety helmets, while eating.
She said they probably worked at the missile base "there
are three here now," she added. We didn't know anything
about missile beses, but we knew there had to be an Air
Force base nearby for frequently too frequently, a jet flies
over low. The noise sounds like a swiftly-moving train rush
ing through the middle of the room, and we have to resist
the impulse to duck under cover.
Since arriving we recalled a recent conversation with the
commanding officer of the base at Klamath Falls. It followed
a talk for the Red Cross during which he said residents of
the Medford area shouldn't mind the sonic booms which rat
tle windows and shake walls the planes are on constant
alert against enemy attack and "should make you feel very
safe," he said. Somehow, they have exactly the opposite
effect. They make us uneasy, and keep reminding us how
fantastic are the sums of money which the so-called civilized
of the world are spending on ways to make war.

After dinner we took a walk in the crisp evening air
and enjoyed enormously what we could see of the cactus
plantings at motels and other places of business. Suddenly
an absolutely heavenly perfume came floating our way and
we wondered what flower or tree produced such sweetness.
A few steps further and we found the source two orange
trees. We know they were orange trees, for one had fruit on
it, as well as the little white blossoms. - ; ; : , )
This tourist also learned a lot about the desert vegeta
tion today. The two of us detoured off the main highway
and spent a few hours in Organ Pipe Cactus National monu
ment. To our mind, the organ pipe cactus are less interesting
than the giant saguaros yesterday and today we saw thou
sands upon thousands of the saguaros and we found their
telephone-pole heights and grotesque "arms" endlessly inter
esting. Some of the larger specimens are said to be about 200
years old. The saguaro is called the "trademark" of the desert
and is the state flower of Arizona. The fruit resemble small
egg-shaped cucumbers and are a source of food for both birds
and rodents. Indians formerly used them as food when crops
failed, according to our book on Southwest wildf lowers.
The displays at the Organ Pipe cactus monument inform
the visitor that the "desert is not 'deserted' " and prove It.
We learned of the hundreds of plants and the numerous
birds and other creatures which make it their home. There
are even little foxes, which roam abroad only at night, and
believe It or not, the monument boasts of a pond of water
Which has fUh tiny little native minnows.
From a picture on the wall we learned that the creature
we called a "turtle" in our last article is really a desert
"tortoise" one of these days we'll look in the dictionary and
learn more about turtles and tortoises.
Probably the most interesting addition to our vocabulary
and stock of knowledge was the fact that some desert crea
tures "estlvate." Estlvate is the opposite of hibernate that
is, they go underground and stay there for periods in order
to escape the searing heat of the desert. The Harris ground
squirrel was given as an example.
The cactus monument is a popular camp spot. The camp
ing area appeared, to be filled, with about 35 or 40 house
trailers and other motorized camper equipment crowded
into a relatively- small area. The desert certainly is not
"deserted" any way you look at It. ."

Wednesday Morning
This morning we woke to clouds, occasional rain and a
cold wind. We had visions of taking a sun bath and relaxing
beside the swimming pool; instead we're glad to be inside
with the. gas heater going. A pool, It seems, is now standard
equipment for every motel, even the modest ones which
Pappy and Potpourri patronize. Some of them are little
larger than a bath tub, but they' are apparently a necessity
in order to attract the traveling public. '
. Pappy has put the top up on the Doll again, and on the
schedule next is a luncheon date and a tour around this
mushroom 200 square miles of metropolis. O.S.
' : v
Tucson, Ariz. If there are those still unbelieving
about the shortage of classrooms and teachers in some sec
tions of the United States, let them visit Tucson. Wednesday
night we had dinner with our relatives here, and heard
the talk about the over-crowded conditions in Tucson schools.
The daughter in the household, a sophomore in high
school, gets up at 5:30 a.m. every day for her classes begin
at 6:30 a.m. Luckily, she lives only two blocks from her
school, and doesn't have to consume a great deal of time
in going and pomlng. She has one class after lunch, returns
home and takes a nap in the afternoon, since the early rising
hour invariably cuts short her night-time rest.
At least one junior high school in the city begins classes
at 6 a.m., we were told. The afternoon classes are over at
5:30 or 6 p.m. The sophomore said that next year she would
automatically inherit an afternoon schedule, because of her
subjects. A new high school is being planned, and if it 1b
completed in time, it is hoped that by the time she is a
senior, she may be able to enjoy a more normal school
routine.
Tucson's school problem, of course, stems from a pop
ulation which has grown so rapidly that the city's services
and facilities cannot catch up. The city has the reputation
of being "rich," - there are hundreds of expensive auto
mobiles on the streets, horse racing and dog racing are
both advertised, and there are liquor stores, restaurants,
cocktail lounges and night clubs in abundance.
By our standards, Tucson has other problems, too It.
rained hard here this morning and when we drove across
the city about 10 miles from our motel to the home where
we lunched ; we took one of the city's main arterial streets
and at every intersection there was a lake. For blocks and
blocks there are paved streets, but no sidewalks as yet, and
apparently no storm sewers. The rain washed great gobs
of dirt and sand and left it in unexpected places the
sides of the street paving gave way in good-sized holes and
auto wheels fell into these with unpleasant results. Small
streams of water were running in all directions.
"Tucson doesn't know what to do with water," sighed
a woman where we tried to buy hair nets. "When it rains
hard, everyone gets worried and wants to head for home."
After driving around the city for an hour or two just
to see what it Is like, we decided Mayor John Snyder knew
what he was doing whfn he vetoed a measure to allow
advertising on benches at street corners. Tucson does have
benches, they have gaudy advertising, both front and back,
and they are hideous.
Of course, Tucson has it beauty, too. We like the Spanish-style
architecture, particularly of the buildings construct
ed in earlier days, and the palms, cactus, and other plant
ings are impressive. Some gardens have beds of petunias
in fu,l bloom, roses are out, many home gardeners have
plantings of stock and we saw many blooming shrubs with
which we are not familiar. We've about quit asking people
to give us the names of growing things. We always get a
negative answer.
Fashion note Don' Schellle, writing In the Tucson
Dally Citizen, came up with what he called the "latest no
wrinkle" in clothing for co-eds at the University of Arizona.
The story, which he got from a friend, is that the girls buy
the tightest Western style pants they can possibly squeeze
into. Then they fill a bath tub with water, get In and thor
oughly' soak the new pants. Then this is important
they let the trousers dry on the body. "And there you are
enough to make leotards look like baggy flannels," said
the Tucson columnist. The latest "no wrinkle." O.S.
