Now . . .
Mrs. Avis J. McConnell. presi
dent and manager ,of the Peli
can Restaurant Corporation, pre
sides over what is sometimes
called a "culinary no-man's laud."
The Pelican Cafe, widely known
and hishly regarded as a distinc
tive eating establishment, upholds
the supremacy of women in dis
pensing cood food.
In-tact. Mrs. McConnell, who
has managed the Pelican since
April 10. 1933. says for the type
restaurant she operates, women
are far superior to men in the
kitchen. She employs women ex
clusively for her kitchen and dining
room.
POSE AS CIIKFS
"Men as cooks are as tempera
mental as opera singers," she
added, "I have known very few
men cooks, regardless of how lim
ited their experience might be, ;
who would hesitate to pose as
chefs." I
According to Mrs. McConnell.
self-styled chefs are a dime a.
dozen.
If Horatio Alger was around
these days and wanted to write
about girls who strive and suc
ceed, he'd have a good subject in
Mrs. McConnell. She started out in
lite with the idea ot becoming a
school teacher.
Mrs. McConnell was born Jan
uary 8. 1894 in Columbus Junction.
Iowa. When she was 9 years old,
the family moved to Hartllne,
Washington. Her father became
president of the Hartllne State
Bank.
vovin TO KI.AMATH FALLS
i After graduating from B r u n o t
Hill, an Episcopal preparatory
school for girls in Spokane, Mrs.
M-rnnndl enrolled in the Univer
sity of Washington at Seattle. After
two years sne quit, aumui w un
married. That was in 1912. Ten
vmm later she returned to the
University. She was graduated In
1924. Then she moved to Klamath
Falls
From 1924 to 1933. she operated
tearooms and worked for the Cali
fornia Oregon Power Company and
Klamath Irrigation District.
In excluding men from the Peli
can. Mrs. McConnell made one
exception. She employes Neal Fife
to dispense beverages in the es
tablishment's bar which is known
as The Wing.
Then ...
Lucille Warner Is the kitchen
I manager of the Pelican. She has
been there more than 30 years.
"Klamath Falls has been good
to me." Mrs. McConnell concluded
"I believe I have been much hap
pier than If I had become a school
teacher."

Parachutists
Drop In Arctic
ST. JOHN'S. Nfld. UP) The U.S.
Northeast Air Command said Sat
urday 700 paratroopers this week
made the first tactical air drop
within 900 miles of the North Pole.
They parachuted to the Ice of a
bav near Thule. Greenland.
The men Jumped from C124
Globemasters Wednesday into 40-
degree-below-zero cold for the be
ginning of "Exercise Arctic Night."
The exercise was a simulated
attack against an arctic air base.
and designed to develop proce
dures and techniques for Joint
sue. Thousands of Eastern Oregou
residents turned out to hear the
senator and congressman.
Perhaps debates among the cur
rent batch of office seekers would
stir up interest. As the campaign
progresses, u win be imeiesuns m
see how many of the old" political
cliches and catch phrases will be
brought into play. A few old stand
bys are "drive the rascals out."
'I wear no man s coiiar aim
don't chance horses in the middle
of the stream. Another one mat
probablv won't be very popular I
"Joe Blow robbed the people for
four years, now give me a chance.'
Senator Richard L. Neuberger.
Democrat of Oregon, who is not
up for reelection, isn't going to sit
this one but after all. The senator
..ntlflfri the Herald and Newj tils
week that he has entered the lists
as a candidate for delegate to tne
nomncratie National Convention.
If he wins the post in the May 18
primary it will be the first time
Neuberger has attended a national
r.niitiAi rnnvention. senator Neu
berger takes pride in the fact that

From what we galher in talking
to folks on Main Street, the Re
publican fight between Interior Sec
retary Douglas McKay and Phil
Hitchcock is liable to take on a
"David and Goliath" tinge in the
minds of the voters.
Hitchcock has been cast in the
underdog role, while secretary
McKay Is portrayed as the candi
dal ol the powerful national ad
ministration. The fact that he is
supposed to be bucking the nation
al OOP bosses may win votes for
Hitchcock. A lot ol people have the
view that "those guys back in
Washington aren't going to run
Oregon politics.,
In the opinion of some old po
litical heads in the Basin, Gover
nor Elmo Smith played it smart
last week on his visi" to the Henley
Grange Hall. It was reported the
governor planned to make a non
partisan talk on OrcRon resources.
Many persons who attended the
grange and farm bureau dinner
waited two hours to hear the gov
emor. There were many young
children In the audience. They
were tired.

sign asking us not to run over the trains. Baok past Roe and Irene s for
a qulok Yisit and then on home to take the roast out of the oven. It was
ouite a day, antf the sun didn't do it any harm either.

My hat goes off to the Ralston Purina Co. Why? The firm makes
breakfast oereals. On its new boxes are the legend: "Look, Ma. No
premiums." Power to them. But lt remains to be seen Just how well this
new campaign rorks. I believe that 4 out of 5 boxes of cereal are pur
chased for the trading cards, spaoa chips, fission guns or whatever else
the manufacturer can put inside.
