WATKINS (Register and Tribune Syndicate 1962) Bedraggled Beggar by Day, li'i Time of Beauty at Night Like a bedraggled beggar it elands beside the dusty road, a plant that appears to have had its day and is now ill-kept end faded. Almost lifeless it appears, 'wilted and withered under the hot summer sun. Flower buds that once were open flowers are now jaded and colorless. Even the lance-shaped leaves seem to have lost their inter est in living. This is the prim rose, a tall-growing weed that occupies fence corners, waste places and roadside banks where passing vehicles show er it with layers of dust. But it has a time for its be draggled appearance and a time for beauty, and the time for beauty is at night. Eve ning primrose, it is rightly called. The sun sinks and the lonE summer day comes to a calm end noiseless close. Shadows lengthen. Traffic along the "dusty road diminishes to an occasional passerby. This is the evening, the time for the blossoming, and the plant is ready. A bud, apparently life less during the day, begins to swell; it comes alive. . Slowly the petals open, al most timidly as if it were efiaid. Then comes a yellow brilliance. Soon after, the evening air is scented with the fragrance of the evening primrose. Never Empty Air - It is not destineH, however, In "blossom unseen and waste its fragrance on the empty air," for there are creatures Abroad in the darkness whose sense of smell is alert to that particular fragrance They come winging through the darkness, anxious to visit the beautiful flower and sip from its cup of sweetness. Sphinx moths they are, like humming birds, with stream lined bodies and blurring wings. They are the moths with the long tongues, capable of probing the depths of the flower. There is an exchange of services, an affinity be tween moth and flower, for without the night visitation )iy the little winged messen ger, the evening primrose could produce no seeds for the furtherance of its kind. Probes for Nectar The moth hovers, again like a humming bird, over the open flower and probes deep ly for the nectar and at the same time dusts itself with the pollen, already placed there for just this contact. The pur pose has been served. More moths may come, per haps a dozen or more. But when the nighv is done and the new day dawns, the flow er that was so beautiful dur ing the night will be jaded, and will fade and die. Only for a single night does it offer its treasures. Others will open tomorrow night, and other night visitors will come.

Multnomah County Demo cratic Chairman Frank Rob erts said he was "quite en couraged" by the showing made by candidates endorsed by t he county Democratic Central Committee earlier this year. Candidates approved by the party were nominated to 21 out of 28 possible positions or 75 per cent of the posi tions for which they ran. GOP Chairman Pleased Robert Packwood. GOP county chairman earlier this year when a Republican county convention gave en dorsements said he was "quite pleased." Endorsed Republi cans were nominated to 28 of the 32 positions they sought, or 87 per cent. The endorsements ranged from state to local races. Both Roberts and Pack wood agreed the endorse ments had a bearing on the races, but declined to esti mate how much. They agreed some candidates would have won without endorsements. However, Roberts said, the good showing of endorsed candidates proved "the choice of the parly was in general the choice of the voter." He said it was a first step toward increased party responsibility in primary elections that will grow two years from now. Played Part in Defeat Packwood said he felt lack of endorsement had as much, if not more, effect on voting as endorsement. He said lack of endorsement "played a sub stantial part in the defeat" of former ticket leading Rep. Sam Wilderman. "Two years from now there will be a stronger endorse ment system and great cor relation between endorse ments and voting," he said. Both Roberts and Packwood denied endorsements caused the defeat of Roberts, who lost to three well-known names, two incumbents and a former broadcaster. Pack wood added, "I hope he will Grange News The Eagle Point Grange met May 15 with Master Cliff Moore presiding, the first and 4-H HEWS Reese Creek The Reese Creek 4-H club met recently at the home of Frank Hopewell.
