WATKINS (Rafiat.i i Trlbunt Sritdicata 1962) Ever 8m a Fence Pott With Personality? :J, You wouldn't believe it un less you took careful notice and looked at it with a dis criminating eye and an open mind, but you might try it sometime, just (or fun, and see if you don't agree there is a certain peculiar some thing about a fence post that Is at least partly personal and highly individual. Like peas in a pod that are never exactly alike, fence posts, too, are all different from one another. .'; Just walk slowly along a fence, stopping for a moment at several individual posts, and look at them carefully. It will be a unique but never theless broad field of research, for there are thousands of posts on any good-sized farm, and each and every one of them has a story to tell if only you can read it. 2 Most posts were orginally cut from the farm woodlot, so no two are ever alike in size. length or degree of straight ness.

Salmon, Portland 4, On, diameter is often cut to a prescribed length, then split several times lengthwise, each post being pie-shaped in cross section. Nevar Sam Dtp! In spite of them being us ually of a uniform length, no two will be buried at the same depth. No two will have exactly the same slant. Some fence builders were meticu lous, carefully lining each post up with the one next to But most of the time sighting along a row of them will show a wavy and some what jagged line. Some rows will almost seem to undulate. At the four corners of the field were the anchor posts, much stouter and larger than the common run of fence posts. These were securely braced, and acted as the im movable objects" upon which the entire length of the wire depended for support. If the anchor gave way, the whole fence sagged disconsolately, and all the smaller posts lean ed in the direction of the pull, On some of the posts grew a green tapestry of poison ivy. Around the base of each grew weeds and grass. In these tiny tangles a wide as sortment of small creatures had their homes. Posts Perforated Some posts were perforat ed with knotholes and worm holes, in which lived half a hundred varieties of insects. Termites and wood boring in sects were always busy, un der the bark if there was bark, or under the ground or in the crevices. Woodpeckers visited the rows of posts at regular in tervals, catching those insects who carelessly exposed them selves. In some posts the wood peckers may have made a nest cavity. In some, numerous families of small birds have first seen the light of day. Fence posts, too, are the handiest places in the world for wild birds to take a rest; they figure the posts are there for vantage spots from which they may watch what goes on in the meadow or the field. The wise bird is always conscious of the fact that no two posts are alike; that each has an individuality all its own. SKIERS CATCH UP Wolverine Bowl In picturesque Alpine Meadows near Tahoe, City, Calif., is the scene of this photo as a skier takes a chair lift and surveys the 17 foot snowpack that covers the mountain. A boom year for skiers and resort owners, the winter skiing that was missed becaue of storms will be more than made up with spring skiing as long as the outstanding pack lasts. (UPI) Trucks Collide on Elk Creek Bridge A logging truck and a lum ber truck collided Wednesday at the Elk Creek bridge on Crater Lake highway near Trail, state police reported. No injuries resulted. An empty logging truck driven by Joel Robert Oliver, 32, Trail, was traveling east. As it entered the narrow bridge, a loaded lumber truck and trail-.- driven by Leeroy Virgil Draper, 32, of Eagle Point was westbound on the bridge.

The divorce subcommittee, an arm of Oregon's Interim Committee on Social Prob lems, passed a resolution criticizing the movia industry and blaming it for the pre valence of divorce and fast re marriages in Hollywood. Efforts Thwarted "Meaningful efforts, such as ours, to stem this injurious tide of broken homes Is thwarted when the motion picture industry is complacent about divorce for the motion picture is recognized as hav ing a significant influence in molding opinion," the resolu tion said. The subcommittee is work ing to improve Oregon's di vorce laws. The subcommittee said it de plores the apparent absence of the action on the part of the motion picture industry in this subject and the willing ness of the media of reporting to lend itself to this socially inimical end." State Sen. Carl Francis (R - Dayton), subcommittee chairman, said the statement was prompted by news stories of various divorces, including the Elizabeth Taylor-Eddie Fisher announcement. Claimed Residency Clackamas County Circuit Judge Ralph Holman, Oregon City, critizied Mrs. Rockefel ler's divorce in Nevada. He said that during the trial she said she was a Nevada resi dent and intended to remain one. But an hour after the di vorce was granted, she flew to Philadelphia, he said. Holman said marriage and divorce laws should be tight ened and made uniform na tionally. Joining in the criticism of Hollywood, State Rep. Grace Peck (D-Portland) said that when Hollywood stars get new mates, "they aren't new, they are just new to them. They're mostly shopworn," she declared.
