C. - This side trip to Nelson was part of the trip that hadn't been pre viously planned. After leav ing . Trail in mid-afternoon we discovered that it was the closest city to Nakusp (97 miles) where motels were more apt to be available. This area is Doukhobor country. The Doukhobors, call ed at times the Sons of Free dom and from Russia, are famous for their nude pa rades, burnings and religious demonstrations. While the average tourist generally does not encounter one of them, their houses are quite evident. They are not painted! Traveling Highway 3 north and west ot Grande Forks the traveler sees -the groupB of unpalntcd buildings for mile on end. Only after careful watch' ing will one notice that there are curtains at the windows cars in the driveways, and other signs of life around The houses otherwise, all varying shades of weathered wood, look like those in ghost towns. Avoid Taxes The main reason for not painting the buildings is taxes, it was explained, as the Douk hobors are generally opposed to the government. - While many persons are traveling Highway 1 this year to Rogers pss'? in British Col umbia, we UjccI a different route, switching to Highway 3 at Hope Instead o" vcling north where we had traveled in previous years. While this highway is quite scenic, in some places it is not as new as the other highway so is not as.f-st. But who wants to speed '-.rough scenic British Columbia?, Passing through Manning Provincial park east of Hope one notices the numerous parks for picnicking and over night camping. There are signs of early mining, principally copper, along the route and then the forests change to fruit as the highway leaves the Similkamcen river and crosses into the Okanagan valley. Switchbacks The new highway cast of Osoyoos gives the traveler a panoramic view ot the valley as it switchbacks up the rocky mountain. At the summit the historic marker explains that the east-west route, which was the Dewdney trail served the gold seekers, the north-south route, the fur brigade. At Osoyoos the two routes crossed. rrom tncre all the way east to Trail a little of the old narrow highway remains, but construction is generally com' pleted on the route. Several long, high bridges have been recently opened. A tour through the metal' lurgical plant of Consoii dated Mining and Smelting company in Trail is a must for travelers in the area Tours are also available of the fertilizer plant, but this traveler preferred the metal lurgical tour. Science Shrinks Piles New Way Without Surgery aiops itcn-r-Keneves ram II M V la V iL. I l i .. Ktw Ysrk. W. Y. (SpnUl) - For the first time science has found new bealins substance with the aston ishing ability to shrink hemor rhoids, stop Itching, and reheve pain without surgery. In case after case, while gently relieving pain, actual reduction (shrinkage) took place. Most amazing of all-resulu were Conducted in small groups the visitor sees the various processes necessary for the production of zinc and lead and related minerals which are by-products. The tour starts with a visit to the tank room where zinc is taken from cells in which it is extracted from solution. From there the process is followed until you see the melted zinc flow ing from the electric furnaces onto casting lines producing 500 tons of slab zinc daily. Next is the gigantic ma chine shop where all of the company's tools and equip ment are repaired. In one corner is one man who spends his time making wire brushes they are used in the recovery of slime during the making of lead. The bending table where pipe is bent is next, follower by the foundry where one sees them casting a variety of different steel objects. Blacksmith Shop . .. In the blacksmith shop-too clean and neat to be called that-visitors could have their pennies flattened. Only U. S. coins were used since it is against the law to mutilate coin of the realm. The next buildings visited include the lead blast furance and large rooms where a thousand refining cells pro- uce more than 400 tons of lead each day. It was at this plant that the first heavy water was produc ed for use in the first atomic bomb. What can be done to elimi nate air pollution was also no ticed during the tour. Through an elaborate system 33 tons of dust are caught each day, which in turn are converted to by-products and sold. After questioning it was learned that the elimination of smoke and fumes was started after more than $8,000,000 damages were paid to U. S. residents. In the lead process silver. gold, antimony, bismuth, cop per and arsenic are processed as by-products. Silver cry stals were viewed and lookinc through a heavy glass win dow one could view the pour ing ot silver Ingots and the vault beyond. The only impurity In Ihe silver here is gold," the guide explained. "We save that too." WhiUvjamviles were hand ed out in other areas, in the silver refinery it was strictly hands off. Some 30,000 ounces of silver are produced there dally. The company's principal stockholder, who has the con trolling Interest, is the Cana dian Pacific railroad. A drive through this scenic town on the banks of the Columbia river will show what a community can do to beautify itself after many years when noxious fumes prevented green plants from growing. The water from the river is used for other pur poses than just irrigation the smelter uses 110.000,000 gallons of It each day.-P.H so thnroush that sufferers made astonishing statements like 'Tiles have ceased to be a problem!" The secret is a new healing sub stance t Bio-Dyne)-discovery of a world-famous research institute. This substance Is now available in iitppotitory or einfmrMf form under the name Preixtrulion W. At all drug counters. Mrs. Joseph Shelley. Portland, chapter offi cer, and Mrs. Joseph O'Bryant, Springfield, vice-president of the chapter. The workshop was held at Rogue Valley Country club and in the evening, following a banquet attended by about 80 persons, many of the group attended a performance of "Henry V" at the Oregon Shakespearean festival, Ashland. Seaweed Makes Tasty Meals, Biologist Says By A. E. HErr EHNAN Mobile, Ala. - (UPD - Joy Morrill, a college teacher, what she has learned from complicated books to cook unusual, healthy and in expensive foods which orig inate from the ocean's floor. Miss Morrill is a biology in structor at Spring Hill col lege here and her hobby is in vestigating the nutritional possibilities of seaweed. She s found, if done prop erly, seaweed can be made into a mighty tasty meal. Most people think of sea weed as something that clut ters white sandy beaches, im pedes surf fishermen, and waves before the skin diver's mask. Few realize seaweed, or algae, is used in food pro duction, printing materials, welding equipment and med icine. Miss Morrill grew up on the Gulf of Mexico coast and this stimulated her early in terest In marine biology While researching her col lege thesis, Miss Morrill learned "seaweed is rich in minerals and proteins and in the Orient has long been a source of food. At home, Miss Morrill of ten prepares seaweed dishes. She disclosed one recipe: It's a thin soup, made with fish stock, misso (a Japanese ingredient), porphyra (red al gae or seaweed), bean curd, bits of fish and seafood of any kind. It's called Misso Slum, and the 31-ycar-old instructor said she got the recipe from a Chi nese friend. In the Orient, seaweed Is cultivated on farms and even tually may become a source of food supply here and an economic boost to coastal areas. 'The lime mnv come when It will have great practical value," Miss Morrill said, "and this may be the time to give true recognition to its true value as a food Droduct for commercial use." Workshop Set By Promenaders Star Promenaders will hold a club workshop and meeting Tuesday, August 6, at 8 p.m. at Ihe home of Mr. and Mrs Arthur Batcman, 3050 Table Rock road.

A nunv ber of dancers from the Rogue Swanns Return Talent - Mr. and Mrs Charles Swann, Foss road Talent, have returned from a six weeks trip to their for mer home in Southern Call torn la.

Woodruff and family in Long Beach, Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Goodrich and fam ily at La Puente and George Goodrich in Ramona, Calif. Woman Honored On Anniversary Talent - Mr. and Mrs. John Ragsdale were hosts Friday night, August 2. for a birth day party honoring Mrs. Mary Higgins, Talent, on her B5th birthday a n n i versary. Her daughter, Mrs. Elizabeth Gil man, Portland, and another daughter and her husband. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Hamil ton and granddaughter, Shel ley, were present. There's a lot going on in Jacksonville these days. Those who think of Jacksonville as that sleepy little place with all those historic buildings better take half an hour and drive over one day soon. Potpourri and Margie, whose been one of our camera companions this summer, were in Jacksonville both Wednes day and Thursday afternoons. The first afternoon there were cars, kids on foot, horseback and bicycles, dogs, cats, people of all ages and description, and an assortment of vehicles fill ing the streets. Tourists and visitors were going in and out of the museum, stores and cafes, up on the Britt estate grounds a crew of men and to get the place in readiness for the first Britt Gardens Music festival. Way up above everything else a young man was busy nailing shingles on the steeple of the historic Presbyterian church. He seemed perfectly safety belt with one hand mouth and the other busy with the hammer. He wasn't too busy to pay attention to the gawkers down on the ground, and there must have been quite a few who preceded us with cameras. When he spied the Tribune pair, he called down to Margie and suggested that she move around on the other street and said there." She did shoot a good front page of Friday's edition. Down by the museum several boys were clustered around the smallest horse we about ever saw, hitched to a little two wheeled sulky-type cart. The sign on the back said "Pony Rides, 10 Cents." A woman from Santa Rosa, Calif., and her two children climbed onto the seat and one of the boys ran along side to make sure the pony trotted. While tl3 cart was making the trip around the block, we talked with the woman s husband As we remember, he said he but couldn't find any. He must places, for there are riding horses available in Jacksonville. The red stagecoach, which is part of the Jacksonville scene these days, went clattering by tilled with youngsters and later, about the lime we were getting back into the Road Runner, there was an unholy noise and charging down the street came a huge logging truck, loaded high. Somehow we were shocked the truck and logs seemed out of place and unsafe in the middle of all those children, horses, dogs, tour ists and home town folks. Of course, the most activity was going on at the Britt Gardens. The shell constructed for the festival orchestra was about completed, men were putting a canvas canopy over it and others were painting, urews were trimming trees, hauling away debris and preparing to cover the grounds where there is no grass with bark mulch and crush ed granite. Groups of women volunteers, many from various garden clubs, are busy in the flower gardens planting and generally making everything tidy and pleasing. Mrs. James Pree, wearing age on an injured arm, took time out from a conference with Carl Burk about the awning to tell Potpourri that Di rector John Trudeau is expected down from Portland Tues day and that the remainder and begin rehearsals the middle of the week. Mrs. Pree said she had been busy from night, along with other members of the festival board, and that although many problems, large and small, had come up, everything was really under control. She had praise for all the men, women, firms and officials who have worked, donated time, materials and supplies and otherwise supported the new project. "Isn t this going to be wonderful?" she asked, while a big Bmile spread over her smudged face. O.S.
