Doukhobor Country Tour
Proves To Be Interesting
Nelson, B. 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

astonishing statements like 'Tiles

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

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."

Woman Honored
On Anniversary
Talent - Mr. and Mrs. John

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.

as the "old man" and is a na
tive of the Pacific states and
Europe. J,t is a composite of
the aster, sunflower and the
daisies. There are nine dis
tinct varieties. One variety is
red violet in color, another
is yellow and the weed which
is white in color. The plant
grows from five inches to sev
eral feet in height and in some
cases where the soil is poor
and lacks water, the plant is
used as a ground cover, as
a lawn. By keeping it clipped
and mowed the feathery
leaves become matted making
a soft turf. It is also adapled
to gardens under cultivation.
The plant was used for
medicinal purposes by Achil
les, Greek hero, at the seige
of Troy, to help in the curing
of the battle wounds of his
soldiers.
Some of the Indian names
are "wapun wapun" and "wi
utu." The Indians also sed
the plant for medicinal pur
poses. In Sweden, brewers
used yarrow instead of hops
for making beer.
Mrs. Carlson spoke on the
methods of "air rooting" and
its usefulness in rooting roses
from cuttings. Mrs. Jackson
showed blossoms taken from
succulent plants. Mrs. Tucker
spoke regarding bald eagles.
