Wyzanski Jr., admitted him to Barkeep Finds Queen's Text KING'S LYNN, England (API Only Queen Elizabeth, bartender John Harvey and a handful of oth ers knew what the Queen was go ing to talk about in her Christmas Day speech to the Commonwealth. , Harvey knew five hours before the radio-television broadcast. He picked his copy of the speech out of a gutter. Harvey, 20, spotted a fat leather briefcase lying in a gutter. He picked it up, looked inside, pulled out a sheaf of papers, and start ed reading: "The Queen's speech. . . ." ' He told the police, who rushed It by patrol car to Sandringham, the country home ll miles distant where the' Queen and the royal family were, spending Christmas. The Queen was to make her broadcast from there. The notes Harvey found were the television script. British Broadcasting lorp producer Anthony Craxton had lost them. Harvey, 'credited with having laved the broadcast from confU' tion, delay and possibly a mon- arch a wrath, was offered a re ward of five shillings (70 cents), Said Harvey: It's not worth col lectlng. " bail Friday pending his appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals.

Adams, who denied any wrongdoing, later re signed his While House post. By RUTH KING The lead article in the Septem ber issue of the Oregon Historical Quarterly was written by the first white girl born in Klamath County, Alice Anna Appiegate Peill now living in Ashland. Mrs. Peil was born March 28, 1872 at Klamath Agency, the daughter of Ivan De catur Appiegate and Margaret (Hutchinson) Appiegate. Mra. Peil wrole on old Oregon school days with earned authority. Her pioneer falher taught for a time in the Umpqua Valley and her reminiscences go back to the life of her maternal grandmother, born of Scotch parents in the North of Ireland who taught as she1 raised a family of four. Years later the family reached Linkville and with the start of the lirst school in the little settlement went into the schoolroom to leach with a new member of the family on the way The little schoolhouse stood near the site of the Wincma Hotel, Mrs. Peil writes, and drinking water was carried from across the street from a bubbling spring. Her mother taught in a country school near Jacksonville, then lat er in Ashland where she met her future husband, father of Mrs. Peil They came to Klamath County and were faced with the problem of edu cating their children in a lonely area which included Indians, snakes, rocks and alkali dust stonns. The family lived in a log cabin 20 miles cast of Linkville for a time and when the growing family be gan to reach school age the par ents bought property about a mile from the Linkville schoolhouse and moved "in. ' There were no sidewalks and the trail to" school, Mrs. Peil says in her article, was a long one, wad ing through sticky mud thai pulled off our rubbers, or when struggling through deep snow. Fortunately we had a very efficient teacher, Mr A. P. Armstrong, later the founder of Armstrong Business College at Portland. The schoolhouse was typical of lhat day. In one corner, surrounded by a wet floor, Mrs. Peil remem bcrs stood the water bucket with its big dipper, a potbelly stove, a tin wash basin and a very dirty towel. Later a schoolhouse was built closer to their ranch home and Mrs. Peil continued to prepare for eventually entering the Monmouth Stale Normal Scnool. It took 10 days to reach the campus. In February. 1BII5 she returned to Klamath Counly to teach her "first school," with a third grade certifi cate, the same lilt le country school she once attended near Dairy. The majority of the students were her own sisters and cousins. Following graduation from Mon mouth she returned to Monmouth to become a full - fledged teacher, receiving $45 per month for 10 months of the year, with a sched ule of six days a week, a position she held for three difficult years. After two more years at Ashland State Normal and a busy interlude, Alice Appiegate came to Klamath Falls as principal of the grammar and high school, housed in an im posing building but with primitive facilities. She was the first and only woman to be principal of this school. The man principal who pre ceded her was paid $100 per month, she received Sfto Her teaching career continued in tiny schools and larger. She recalls a hectic trip by stage to a position in Lakeview where she stuffed pa per in a broken window frame to keep out the bitter cold, and back to Klamath Falls where she be came assistant principal of the newly formed Klamath County High School and on through the years behind a teacher's desk until 1910 when she married and moved to Ashland. She recalls the tedious, tiresome trips between Ashland and Klamath Falls by way of Greenspnng Mountain or lopsy Grade, some times driving the horses while the stage driver put his shoulder to the wheel to help the tired animals pull the hill; the terrific jouncing over rocks, through mud holes and over frozen ground when the pins dropped from their long hair "and even our clothes seemed to be twisted around us. Such were the days of country teaching and moun tain travel in Southern Oregon in the days of horse-drawn travel.

"DENNIS THE MENACE" but Mrs. Foote has made good use of her artistic talent, by fash ioning some real masterpieces. About six years ago, Mrs. Foote started making candles by melt- ng parowax, and pouring it into discarded milk cartons, and after Ihey were molded, hand decorated them, and as time went on, she learned to decorate them with colors, gilt and silver. All "for the fun of it," and which were used to decorate dining or ban quet tables for Montague Rotary Club festivities, or Montague PTA functions. Others she made to give as guts. With her already natural flair for floral arrangements, added to that of her lovely candles and other table appointments, Mrs. Foote's services came into demand for all manner of social function. Gradually, as her adept- ness with molding and forming candles improved, particularly in creating dilferent styles of can dles, she started using the 100 per cent beeswax, which she can mold into any size or shape her cus tomer happens to want. The beeswax comes in sheets of 26 varieties of color, including vivid reds, pale blues, pinks. greens, yellows, bright orange or persimmon, and even black and white. Sometimes she uses two different colors which adds a sophisticated touch to her product. Sizes vary, from one inch in di ameter to two, three or four inch es in diameter, and from 1'4 inches to three feet tall. The finished candles are then decorat ed in various types of dainty flowers or miniature vegetables and fruits, depending on the oc casion are designed for. Last year, she made over thousand candles, using about 275 pounds of wax. Many of her fin ished products have been shipped across the United States, even as Toy Car Puts Estes In Bed WASHINGTON (AP)-Sen. Ej- tes Kefauver (D-Tenn) tried out a toy electric automobile his 12-year-old son wanted to buy. Tha result: three days in a hospital and three weeks in a leg cast. Aides said a neighborhood chum of the senator's son David got an electrically powered toy auto for Christmas. David wanted one like it to replace his homemade model powered by a salvaged lawn mow er motor. The senator took the manufac tured model for a trial spin, and tried dragging his feet when he couldn't find the brakes to stop it on a do-inhiil run, the aides ex plained. But his leg was twisted and his foot pulled under the machine's rear wheel. A t'lp to Bethesda Naval Hos pital disclosed badly sprained lig aments and a dislocated Kneecap. A cast was put on the injured leg. Doctors said the senator could leave the hospital Sunday. PLACES TO THINGS TO DO I" , , I . Li I " : 'ScvWESOty WANTED TO TALK TO OAO, BUT I .
