PAGE 12 A HERALD AND NEWS. Klamath Falls, Ore. Thursday. January 7. 1960 Europe Trip Concluded By Herald-News Scribe Editors Note: Peggy Walsh, Her Id and News' Dunsmuir coircs nondent. is hack home from lenethv European tour. This is the final account of her travels, By PEGGY WALSH : . DUNSMUIR During the last three months, I have developed tremendous respect for the late war correspondent and world travel col nmnisl. Ernie Pylo. Ho was able to travel and write. After rinsing out our undies and sortinu our luggage, 1 was usually yeady to flop into bed rather than evaluate our experiences for the Hnv and tiv to recount our ad ventures. No matter how well-worn the ohrasc. returning home is the big gest thrill of all one's travels and the greeting, "You are back! We've missed you:" is the most welcome one. rut SINCE we've been back within the boundaries of the Unit ed States for the past three weeks, .everyone from the taxi drivers to our best friends want to know, "What country did you like the best?" That is like asking a woman with a large family which of her children she likes best. I'.ach coun try has its particular charm. . Scotland was the last country we "visited and our two-day slay in Glasgow provided a wonderful fi- :nale for our European trip. : The weather was dark and for bidding and there was no ques tion that Loch Lomond or Edin burgh would be anything other than bone-chilling sight seeing. But the warmth of the Scotch quite made up for the weather (and I don't mean the spirits although we sam pled them, also). Only the Walsh family would stay at a temperance hotel and niake arrangements to visit a dis tillery. We found all through Eu rope that the hotels without bars are less expensive and provide very good family accommodations. WE HAD HEARD that Glasgow was an industrial city so with the clouds around our ears we looked up the chamber of commerce to sec what industries we could see in lieu of landscape. ' It was with some difficulty that I pried myself out of the cozy chair in front of the fireplace in the chamber of commerce board room and hid a reluctant farewell to a cordial host who ar ranged for us to visit a knitting mill and a distillery. We learned the Scotch age their yarn as well1 as their whisky and the brilliant colors twirling off the spindles and Into fabrics were used only after proper maturing. A Mr McClure showed us through the Two-Mac knitting mill and wo were sorry to learn the plant's entire production is absorbed in the Brit ish Isles and none of the lovely fashions we saw being made arc available in the Unilcd Slates. Our host was one of the owners and we concluded our visit with tea in his office. The next morning a chauffeur called to lake us to Dumbarton to the huge Ballantine plant. This pro duct is exported to the Unilcd States and upon the conclusion of our tour I ventured that San Fran ciscans were the largest per capi ta consumers in Hie United Slates 1 was informed that San Francisco was in third place just behind Washington, D.C., and New York and we still have a long way lo go lo catch up with our British cousins. We ended a three-hour lour of the plant thai took us from grain ind yeast to the labeled and pack aged bottle in the office of one of the directors. Kathy had the hie coughs but she's prone to those anyway. We were very apprecia tive of the courtesies shown us and I explained lo the director that the only other distilleries I had seen were while I was teaching school in the mountains of South Carolina and these were very small cslab lishmenls in comparison with the huge Ballantine plant. He gracious ly accepted the rcm-ark but its full content was lost on him, I'm sure. WE GOT QUITE chummy with the chauffeur on the way back to Glasgow and later the owner of he tea shop where we ate a late luncheon was quite disappointed to find we were taking I ho plane that night. She wanted us to spend an evening with her and her husband. So wc found the Scotch far from dour and it was refreshing after the chill of northern Ireland. In Washington, D.C., we engaged sight seeing taxi driver. During he winter months, a taxi can be ircd for $2.50 an hour which puts ight-sccing on a comfortable, con venient basis at less than the cost of a bus tour for a family of four. two days we did the works from the Washington Monument, Mount Vernon, the Capitol, the FBI building, museums, archives, churches, Arlington and all inter mediate points. We did miss the zoo but we'd seen the zoos in Copen hagen and Vienna and between trains in St. Louis, we saw our last zoo of the trip. THE ONLY TIME we ran into any trouble in our three months of traveling was in our modern, pro gressive United States. In Denver was informed there were no scats available and using our best dramatics we bullied two seals for the day after Christmas and two seats the day following that. Har old and Tommy rode a half empty train to Sacramento and Kathy and I followed In half empty train the next day. Anyone who can save for a new car can save for a trip to Europe ind after we pay for our car we arc going to start saving again. There are many more fiords in Norway, more Alps m Austria, more friends to make in Sweden, Germany and Denmark. Wo want lo visit the Italian Riviera when Lynch Case Under Probe BILOXf, Miss. (AP) A 23-man federal grand jury kept the jailer al the Poplarville jail under sub poena today as it continued its investigation of the Mack Charles Parker lynching. i The jailer, Jewell Alford, was one of seven witnesses questioned by the jurors Tuesday. Three FBI agents were seen going into Ihe jury room. Prosecuting attorneys refused to identify any of the persons called belore the jury. The jury, empaneled Monday by U.S. Dist. Judge Sidney C. Mizc, was in session for more than five hours. A mob of hooded men dragged Parker, a 22-year-old Negro, from a jail at Poplarville early on April 27. His body was found later in Hie Pearl River. Parker's abduction came two days before he was scheduled to go on trial on a charge of raping a young while mother. Electric Company Leader Testifies At Meeting the sun is warm and go boating on the lakes in Switzerland. It is true there is much to see in the United Slates and one could spend a lifetime exploring Siskiyou Coun ty .. . but to understand and appreciate other countries there is nothing like the sight, touch and taste of travel. SALEM, Ore. (AP) Privately owned utilities need to build the 250-million-dollar Mountain Sheep Dam on the Snake River because they are threatened with reduced allocations of federal power, Frank M. Warren, president of Portland General Electric Co., told the Oregon Water Resources Board Tuesday. Warren testified on the opening day of Ihe board's hearing on White Rat Dies From NM Cold ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP- Maurice Jenson bought his 7-year- old son Mark a white rat for Christmas and left it in the family car Christmas Eve. It escaped from its cardboard box and fled into the car's innards. Fearing his upholstery would be riddled, Jenson appealed for help. Published reports brought 1(H) telephone calls. One' man suggested burning a Iring of red chili peppers inside Ihe auto. Catch her with a male rat inside a one-way trap, urged another. Jenson didn't have time to try any of them. Monday he found the rat frozen to death in the auto. whether to grant a preliminary permit to Pacific Northwest Pow er Co., to build the 690-foot-high Mountain Sheep Dam, 50 miles south of Lewiston, Idaho. PNP is owned by PGE, Pacific Power St Light Co., Washington Water Power Co., and Montana Power Co. Warren, a PNP director, said the Bonneville Power Administra tion has served notice that there would be a diminishing supply of federal power for private utilities beginning in 1963. "The companies must seek ad ditional projects to provide their own source of power," Warren said. He said most of the power at the project would be used by Ore gon private utilities. Another com pany witness said the project, wilh one million kilowatts initial capacity and two million kilowatts ultimate capacity, could be on the line by 1966 if immediate approval is granted. The 690-foot-high dam would be the largest arch dam in the United States, it would be located a half mile above the mouth of the Salmon River, an important salmon ana steelhcad spawning stream. Fishing interests, expected to wage a bitter fight against the dam, got in some of their testi mony. James Cellars, Astoria, secre tary of the Columbia River Fish and Tuna Packers, opposed any more dams. He said dams al ready have cut the Columbia Riv er fisheries in half. William Puustinen, representing the Columbia River Fishermen's Protective Union, said dams kill fish and his organization wants no more of them. Carl Etling, of the Izaak Walton League, feared that Nez Perce Dam, which would be built below the mouth of the Salmon, would destroy the Salmon River fish eries. He wants the Salmon River made a fish sanctuary, and said that if a dam has to be built, it should be Mountain Sheep. The company also has filed ap plication for a Mountain Sheep li cense with the federal Power Commission. Hugh Smith, PNP attorney, testified that the 58 - mile long Mountain Sheep reservoir, extend ing into Hell's Canyon, would open up an exciting new rec reational area in an almost inac cessible area." The application probably will be contested by public power groups, since the Northwest Public Power Assn. has received permission to intervene. Warren said PNP woulo? provide adequate facilities to preserve fish life, and that the project would provide six million dollars a year ii tax revenues. v The chambers of commerce oi The Dalles, La Grande and Port land supported the application.
