There were literally' millions of snakes along that stream!" - Civilization proved too' much for the snakes, according to DeLap, and they finally disappeared. DeLap wav born Oct. 20, 1887, In a house that stands on the pres ent site of Klamath Valley Hospital. The fartrfest he has been away from Klamath' Falls is Santa . Maria, Calif. He has a twin brother, Ches ter, who lives In Los Angeles. "If Christopher Columbus had the same attitude toward travel as I have," he said, "he'd never have gotten out of Genoa." . DeLap has some very ; vivid memories of early days in Klam ath Falls. When he was, a small bov he used to drive a herd of milk cows into a pasture which was located at the site of Balsiger's Ga rage. At that time, the Southern Pacific Station and railroad yards were part of the- Jim Llndsley Ranch. "Klamath Falls was a wild and wooly town in those days," he re called. "It would have served very well as a setting for one of those rootin' tootln" western movies we see these days. We had our share of badmen and the gambling Joints and saloons never closed. And (here was considerable feudin' and fldhtUU among the populace. "Getting in and out of Klamath FalU'-wascomplicated,M'he added. Stage coaches ran to various pans of the basin. But to get to the Southern Pacific's mainline, you had to go by stage and logging train." DeLap was never uncertain about his career. He set his sights on the County Clerk's Job and his aim never wavered. He started working in the clerk's office in 1908. He was steadily employed there until 1921 when he took a job buy ing livestock and wool which ne held until 1935.' Even then, he did part-time work for the County Clerk. From 1935 to 1945 he ranched near Henley, DeLap was elected County Clerk in 1944 and has occupied the office ever since. - "A lot of my friends say to me, Charlie, why don't you get out and see some of the world?' " He ex plained. "I don't think the rest of the world has anything that would interest me anymore than Klamath Falls. After all. the city of happi ness is In the state of mind. My mind is made up that . Klamath Falls is the best place in the world.

Ml Ry derwood is starting the new chap ter of its life. . i j It is almost a community adapta tion of the old adage about life beginning at 40. At the ripe young age of 30, the town apparently had run its course, its use as a loSEWS town for the Long-Bell Lumber Co., was, at an end. The company put It up for sale. - ... Now it has a new role In Cowlitz County life. The sale to Senior Es tates. Inc., received wide publicity two months ago. The firm bought it for 190,000 with the announced intention of creating a novel com munity of home-buying people who are ' living on pensions or modest retirement pay. ' Senior Estates officially took over iast week for - the launching of Its unique social and business project. -.. Sponsors of the venture express confidence of its success. Col. Wil liam f. Brandt, president of the JodayA Womsm By DOROTHY ROE Associated Press women's Editor The trouble with American wom en is, they take too many baths, say Charles N. Granville and Nor man Lee Swartout, of Wilton, Conn. These two businessmen approve of cleanliness, but they say wist fully that it women didn't bathe so much they would use more per fume. Like French women. Granville and Swartout are in the perfume business. They have Just returned from Paris, where they said they produced the world's first perfume rainfall over the .Eiffel Tower: seeding the clouds over Paris with a charge of carbon dioxide loaded with essence of their American per fume. Says Granville: "I, don't know why we aia it. We just got tired of American women going around dousing them selves with French perfume, I guess, and so we decided to douse French women with American per fume. We're not planning to sell perfume over there. It was just an impulse. ' , , i The partners are full of sucn whimsy. A couple of years ago they produced a perfumed snow- lali in Bridgeport, uonn., ana naa small-boys shrieking: "Man, dig those smelly snow balls!" : Granville and Swartout decided to start their perfume business a tew years ago when they got tired of commuting from Wilton to their respective olilces in New York. Granville was an industrial de signer, Swartout was in the glass business Their plans to start a perfume factory were greeted with hilarity by their friends in Wilton, who promptly auorjea me enterprise the "skunk works." Since Swartout lives on Skunk Lane the title seemed peculiarly appropriate, and the boys immed iately accepted it, wearing skunk caps, complete with tails, - when ever possible, - - - - - Though their approach to busi ness matters is somewhat frivolous, their results are' sound. They have most of the feminine population of Wilton - plugging their perfume these days,and they can- afford to nire a piane to -oomDara raris with their product just for fun. They have definite ideas about women and perfume. Says Gran ville: "American women don't use enough of it, French women douse themselves . with scent several times a day perhaps because they don't bathe so often as Americans. But the effect is good. How do you think French gals got the reputa tion for all that glamor? They're not any more beautiful than American women they Just Smell better. . - "Our gals are still suffering the delusion that it's not ladylike to wear a lot of perfume, and that they should not wear any before 8 p. m. That's hokum. Why not Waiermehn Pickle Time Have you wished you had a real L ntnint for watermelon pick les? Then here you have it. You'll probably cut some of them In squares or strips as usual.
