The Increased usage came In the face of a mild winter which reflects greater use of normal appliances rather than heating equipment. The 452,280 residential and rural consumers throughout the state accounted for 4,246, 135,000 of the total kilowatt hour consumption. - Industrial use of electric energy was also up for the month of March with Port land General Electric com pany reporting an increase of 7.5 per cent and Pacific Pow er and Light 9 per cent, at tributable to an upswing in business and greater use of "juice by the new shopping and recreation centers throughout the state. Union Protests Rough Treatment Portland - (UPD - About 100 men ot the Hoisting and Port able Engineers Union, local 701, reportedly stormed out of a meeting at the Labor Temple here Friday night when a member was thrown out.

In the Day's News 'By FRANK JENKINS Other than the formalities of immigrations and customs and the taxi ride from the air port into the city-including the startling experience of driving on the left side-the tourist's first contact wun London is at his hotel, whose first outpost is the doorman. He is a magnificient figure, tall and of a commanding presence and uniformed like a field marshal. He is einci- ency itself. And, contrary to expectation, cordial and friendly, even jovial. He as signs you a porter, directs the unloading of your luggage and gets you started through the doors. When, the next day, you start out on the town, he asks where you want to go, summons a taxi, tells the driv er your destination, and opens the door for you. When you return, he welcomes you home. AT THE elevators-which is to say, the "lifts"-there is no starter. As has been men tioned here, they are fully au tomatic, but each Is manned by a brilliantly uniformed at tendant, who welcomes you to his car and pushes the but tons for you. One of them yesterday had an embarrassing experience. The car was jammed and packed. About halfway down, it stopped at a floor where no one wanted on or off. When it started again, it STARTED UP. Then it start ed down again. Then it STOPPED. There we were, packed in like sardines in a can and nowhere to go. Even tually, after much pushing of buttons, it started up, re versed itself and started down, and eventually reached the lobby floor. What had happened? Pre sumably, In the squeeze, the attendant had got pushed back against the buttons, de pressing several of them at once. As a result, the car's robot brain was left in much the same situation as the chameleon that was dropped on a Scotch plaid. But all turned out well, and the only damage was to the elevator attendant's dignity. SINCE the time whereof the , memory of man runneth not to the contrary thereof, guests at English inns have been accustomed upon retir ing for the night to put their shoes outside the door to be picked up and shlned by the hall porter. For some reason-possibly some new concept ot neatness in the hallways-this hotel is attempting to discourage this historic practice. There are signs instructing you NOT to put your shoes outside In the hall but instead to leave them in the little ante-room that is a part of your quarters. There, the signs explain, the porter will pick them up, clean and shine them and return them to the same spot. But, signs or no signs, as you walk down the halls at night, there are still shoes out side a surprising number of doors. Tradition dies slowly in this part of the world. IN THE U.S.A. loudspeakers have become an indispensa ble part and parcel of hotel life. If Mr. So-and-So doesn't answer the phone in his room, he is paged electronically and the raucous tones of the loud speaker' are heard all over the place-in the lobbies, the dining rooms, the bars and everywhere else a guest might be expected to be. Here paging is a much more dignified procedure. Small boys, immaculately uniform ed and with fresh English faces-English children are uni formly charming - go from group to group in the lobbies and the dining rooms, carry ing cards in framed folders. On the cards, neatly printed, ia the name of the person being paged. They utter no word, merely displaying the card in group after group and to person after person. It is a pleasant custom and goes far to make life less hectic and noisy, But one can't help wondering about the per son at the other end of the line. Life for him must be a bit boresome as he waits while the page boys circulate in their courteous and deferen tial way through the crowded public rooms.

Bird Watchers Seek Barn Owl, Herons Jackson county bird watch ers are trying to locate a barn owl and some black crowned night herons in preparation for the annual May 30 bird census. According to Maj. Gen. Joseph Hicks, a barn owl has been located for several years in a barn close to the Charlie Hoover residence, White City. High winds have blown the barn down, and now bird watchers need to know the lo cation of another barn owl.
