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'

arch a wrath, was offered a re
ward of five shillings (70 cents),

the U.S. Court of Appeals.
Being admitted to bail, court at

Both were convicted last Mon

denied any wrongdoing, later re
signed his While House post.

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.

This hobby is not a full time
lob by any means. Mrs. Foote
has a husband. Grant, and a 14-
