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.
Kennedy Urges
Economy Effort
Washington -HIPP- President
Kennedy Monday urged labor
business and the public to for
get political differences and
help the administration get

He was immediately chal

issues, Kennedy said he need
ed support from every group
to make the United States a
"model for the world."
Shortly after he spoke, J.
W. Kenner. president of the
B. F. Goodrich Co., attacked

dorsement system in the fu
ture. 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
