'8 ""A FRIDAY. JULY 12, 1963 Women's News t Thursday morning we unpacked the car and luggage lTa flnn't lrnnur hnw others feel about this end-of-a-trlp chore but we always find it pretty depressing. We sorted out the clothing to be laundered, hung the down Jackets on the clothesline and threw away the remnants of roadside lunches. We looked at the packages which contain gifts, wondering if our judgement had been as good as it seemed at the time we made the purchases. t Th rocks which we nicked up, or bought, in various spots throughout Wyoming, Montana, Idaho and Oregon, we put aside without even looKing at. wny ao travelers pit, up jocks, anyhow? Day after tomorrow we won't remember which one we picked up during a quick lunch beside a meadow in Montana or was it Wyoming? in which sleek Angus cattle grazed, or which one we found on the hilltop overlooking Flathead lake where we stopped to train the field glasses on an interesting boat with two sails, one red and one striped. The rough, red-colored ones Pappy picked up along the road in a canyon of the John Day river, that we do remember. j We don't know who built ''auto carries'' as they -were called 29 or 30 years ago, but who ever it was should have the undying gratitude of the motoring public. The first tourist cabin the two of us rented at Moro for a vacation a long time ago. It was a rather rough little building with any old kind of furniture and a wood-burning stove which smoked when we . Now look at the modern across the country they are They have swimming pools, plush restaurants and bars, golf courses and bowling lanes are either a part of the estab lishment or can be found nearby; they have lawns and artistic landscaping and can provide almost anything the traveling public can demand. 1 Even modest ones have well-furnished rooms with rugs, good furniture, pretty lamps, conditioning units, television and some even supply instant coffee, chocolate or tea, i When we registered in Rawlins, Wyo., the desk clerk handed us not only our key but the latest copy of the Denver Post, a supply of picture post cards, and a little wax tub filled with ice cubes. The clerk said if we needed anything else, or information, just to ring the desk. r While some are still using such old-fashioned names as Bide-a-Wee, others have Imaginative names which intrigue the motorist. Idaho, Wyoming and Montana go in for such names as the Silver Saddle, the Flying Saddle, the Branding Iron, Lariat Lodge, the Ram's Horn, the Arrowhead and the Silver Spur. We noted three or four called The Maverick perhaps it Is a chain one was called the High Lander and another the Sun Downer. i . i Montanans, we decided, are realistic about names of some establishments. Everyone knows what a "tourist trap" is, so we were amused to read a sign which read simply, "The Trap Zoo and Curios." It must have been a trap all right, for when, we passed the place, located on the road leading to the west entrance of Glacier National park, there must have been 20 cars parked outside. I We also noticed that Montana has saloons. Bars and lounges are also advertised, but at least twice we passed signs which bluntly advertised a saloon. This is something We can't recall having seen in any other western state. Being trained to ask questions, we decided to find out what the attitude of small cafes, restaurants and motels would be regarding service to Negroes. When we asked the first waitress In a motel cafe In Wyoming if the establish ment served Negroes she looked surprised and said "Why not?" She added that very few Negroes had come into the Cafe in the two seasons she had been employed and then said "Why wouldn't we serve Negroes? They're people, aren't they?" Potpourri agreed that indeed, Negroes are people, Just like whltesklnned citizens of the U.S., and the conversation ended. Later we put the question to another waitress who was t little time In deciding that the inquiry wasn't some sort of a joke. When it dawned on her that we seriously wanted to know she said "I've never seen a Negro In this place, but If one came In, he'd get served like everyone else. One cus tomer is the same as another as far as I'm concerned." Back In Oregon we asked a motel operator if Negroes patronized her business. She said that several Negro families had stayed there last year, when travel was so heavy because of the Seattle World's Fair, and that they had been treated as any other patron. She said travel of all sorts is much lighter this year than last. "We were filled to capacity almost every night last summer," she said, and added regretfully "Last year spoiled us. But everyone came to the Northwest last year, and this year they're traveling in some other part of the nation or continent. Business is definitely down." ; - We had already decided this, as far as the tourist business Is concerned. Even the July Fourth holiday week-end saw few "No Vacancy" signs In the sections where we traveled. t Potpourri asked one friendly owner of a small motel in Montana if she found her business difficult if tourists are hard to please. She said that for the most Dart she enloved her associations with the traveling public pleasant, but that occasionally "we have a few stinkers." Then she brightened and told us a story. One of her friends is a crocervman and they were comparing notes one day. The groceryman had decided that life would be pleasant In the motel business, because the largest share of the customers stay one night only; they pull in at night and leave early the next morning. "That would be wonderful," he said. "Now, If I Just didn't have old lady Smith coming in every day. Every time she opens the door to my store I want to run and hide." O.S.

For day, the combinations Include jacket, skirt and wes kit, or jacket, skirt and blouse, or dress with coat. Rarely found: The traditional suit of skirt and jacket alone. Ensembllng goes on into evening too in dress and coat pairings with wool combined with brocades and metallics fabrics uncounted times. The firm of Davidow, known for its classic styling of suits, produces them for the new season with color co ordinated blouses of silk, wool jersey or paisley printed challis. New Collections Davidow was one of more than 50 manufacturers o coats, suits and dresses show ing new collections this week and early next for the na tion's visiting fashion report ers. The shows are sponsored by the New York Couture Group: the remainder, by a newly created American De signers Group. Davidow showed both the open, cardigan - type jacket and the "demi-fit" in suits The backs of the "demi-fits," as the garment industry call ed them, remained straight in line, but the curve was built into the front by means of diagonally curved seams. Some form of the weskit or call this sleeveless garment vest or jerkin if you prefer -showed in Just about every designer collection. Many of the weskits were of the same fabric as the rest of the cos tume; some were solid black or pale neutrals to contrast with the jacket and skirt; some were fur.

(UPI) ri fl r j : : XI :1 -J3' Pruian showed a dark mink jerkin with a slim-cut taupe wool dress. Corduroy and Tweed Designer David Kidd of Arthur Jablow produced a loose fitting weskit in cor duroy as the blouse of a bulky tweed suit. Worn with it-long, cable-knit stockings, and pull on leather boots finished at the tops with the same cor duroy. Vests are just part of the general trend for fall to a casual look for daytime clothes. Kit was reflected also in low slung half belts at the back of coats and dresses, in roomy, raglan shoulders, in "country" materials such as nubby tweed, mohair, plaid wools and leathers. ' Leather in assorted forms capeskin, calfskin and suede showed throughout the collec tion from Anne Klein, design er at Junior Sophisticates. The designer bound or buck led great, sweeping capes in leather. She also showed fur vests over long-sleeved shirts coupled "with tweed skirts. The predominant silhouette with designer Donald Brooks for Townley featured a waist line lowered four to five inches below the natural, and indicated by a set - in belt Brooks, known for his flair with prints, went oriental for fall. The dragon motif showed on everything from long, slinky evening dresses to "bandit scarves" a yard of silk shaping the neckpieces of a number of day time dresses and costumes. The designer Jo Copeland of the Patullo-Jo Copeland firm produced skirts which looked slim, but had fullness concealed in deep pleats or dressmaker arrangement of folds. Waistlines at this firm and in many others ranged from high - just beneath the bosom - to low - set down around the upper hipbone. MANOR-ISMS By ETHELYN Canada enthusiasms! We have long been dubbed "Mr. and Mrs. U. S. A., since we have repeatedly criss-crossed and found so much to praise in all but the two newest states, but now we could well become adopted Canadians. We are enjoying this pro longed visit. Canadian scenery is indeed gorgeous and spec tacular, particularly around Banff. Lake Louise, Jasper park, nil their parks, and Co lumbia lee fields - much of it awe inspiring and all but over powering. There is, however, unlimited variety - bays, beaches, timber lands and lakes, and such charming drives as that from Calgary to Banff. Hero were far away horizons beyond flat or softly rolling green fields, ine charm of this, also in driving on most of the Canadian high ways, is enhanced by views unimpeded by signs or bill boards. They must have Pro vincial or even Dominion laws "agin" them - and what a re lief! Surely the sign people can see the handwriting on the wall and are seeking others means of livlihood. The ever increasing traveling public are rebelling. It's tijuly won derful to view even non-scenic country without arriving frus trated and with tired eyes. At flic entrance to Mt. Rev elstoke park, we had a delight ful surprise - met up with the Ted Coatcs from the Manor and had dinner and an eve ning's visit. They were hulk ing this trip In reverse order, so were headed for the places we hndvJust loft. It seemed like old home week to be with them. Victoria, B. C. we love!

Phoenix, recently celebrated their 601h wedding anniversary, six of their seven children attended. They have lived here since 1924, moving to the valley from Kansas. Alfred Sauers Observe Wedding Anniversary Phoenix Mr. and Mrs Alfred A. Sauer celebrated their 60th wedding annivers ary recently at their home on Mud Springs road Six of the couple's seven children attended the dinner. They were Mrs. Ralph Rob erts, Mrs. Irving Hanscom, Lauren Sauer, all Phoenix; Mrs. Warren Fitch, Talent; Mrs. MarJorie Brazil, Central Point; and Bernard Sauer, Mud Springs road. Another daughter, Mrs. Arthur Amos, Parkdale, Ore., was unable to attend. ' The anniversary cake was baked by Mrs. Donna Evans, Medford, a granddaughter, and Miss Linda Evans, a great granddaughter. The couple was married in 1903 in Soloman, Kan. Mrs. Sauer was the former Eliza beth Mae Gonser of that city. EVANS pimmpilpMi beautiful wilh almost every flower known to man. The sunken gardens in the old limestone quarry were, per haps, the most spectacular, but all of it unforgelably lovely. I had my second meal in the hugh, impressive, old Em press Hotel. My first time there was many years ago, en route to New Zealand. It Is now a bit shabby and faded and the city has changed a lot, but both retain the slow er tempo and much of the Old English atmosphere which I love. Here is a new twist on the good mouse trap and the well beaten path: there is a place in Victoria, Cherry Bank ho tel, which specializes in "spareribs," puts up big signs on the premises and is well known and boosted through out the city. They are bar-be-que ribs-not like we do them in the States - and are truly delicious. The place is always crowded. We like the Canadian peo ple and have found no indica tion of the "chip-on-shoulder'' attitude, with the exception of one cartoon in a Vancouver, B. C. paper. We were there during their long Dominion day holiday, starting July 1, and stayed on until after our long Fourth of July week end to avoid heavy traffic on the States' side highways. We found the following Editorial and wish everyone would read it: "Sam, we - wouldn't want anyone else. ... As the gra cious birthday salute to Can ada (printed below) adroitly suggests, there are times when the rest of the world wonders about the intermittent bouts of hair pulling that go on across our long and undefend cd border.

"Nationally speaking there are a few temporary misunder standings between Canada and the United States. We have every conviction that they will be worked out to mutually satisfactory conclusions. . "We think, too, that they have never been of basic con cern to Western Canada and the state of Washington. Our regional relationships are deep and long. Far better than any New Yorker or Chicagnan we know the meaning and im portance of friendship with Canadians. "And today we should take particular note that Canada is celebrating her 96th birthday. Reports that her plans call for a centennial celebration in 1967 will include a World's Fair in Montreal evoke pleas ant memories of Canada's im pressive contribution to the success of the Seattle World's Fair last year.
