STEAM THRESHING BEE The nostalgic "good old days" of steam threshing will come alive again Sept. I , and 2 at the ranch of Godfrey Humann and son at Gerber, Calif., 12 miles south of Red Bluff. The public is invited to the first of what will become an annual steam threshing bee featuring the old-time threshing rigs as shown in this view. A caravan of steam engines, old gas tractors and old cars will precede the actual threshing each day. Steam Threshing Rigs To Roll Again During Two-Day Event Near Gerber Forest Grounds Prove Popular During Summer By DICK WKST L'nilrd Press International WASHINGTON' ilTD - Earli er this summer there was an in teresting bit of news from Paris concerning one of the famous fashion designers. This designer, who is so fam ous I have forgotten his name. was reported to be featuring ex tremely revealing necklines in his new fall creations. Although delicately phrased, the account I read conveved the im pression that he was bringing a significant portion of milady's rib cage into the public domain. When I called this to the at tention of my wife, who is an au thority on such matters, she told me it Mould never become fash ionable. Naturally 1 asked why not. Because," she said, "fashions are set by women who can afford to buy originals, and too many rich women are flatchosted." Since her own rib cage is more favorably endowed than mv bank account, it may be that she was just being catty. But I devoutly hope that she correctly called the shot. Having been through a rather trying summer of ignoring wom en's knees, 1 simply am not in condition to spend the winter ov erlooking their rib cages. Somewhere tliore is a portrait of a lady, also so famous I have forgotten her name, whose eyes appear to follow ou no matter from what ancle you view the painting. This same optical illusion, as I have pointed out before, occurs in women's knees. Knitters Win Blue Ribbons LAKEVIL'W Blue ribbon win ners in tlie 12 and over division of the 411 knitting judging con test were Donna Paxton. Carol Klder and Julie Koop. These girls have now won the right to parti cipate in the knitting contest at the stale fair on Sept. 2. Junior division blue ribbon win ner was Janet llaney. 'Joy Ash- craft and Cynthia Boe won red ribbons in this division. I lie knitting judging contest was held on Saturday, Aug. 17. All 411 knitting club members were eligible to compete. Time after time 1 have been accused of staring at their knees, whereas actually their knees are staring at me. It is all very nervew racking. If two or more women arc present, it is impossible to avert one's eyes. The entire room be comes a sea of knees. It has been my expectation that the summer would bring sur cease. During (lie summer, wom en usually shift into shorts. When that happens, tlieir knees arc not as disconcerting as when they are wearing skirls. It's not an ideal situation, but 1 can live with it. This summer, however, many women did not shift into shorts. Instead, they shifted into shifts. A shift, as you know, is a loose fitting garment that only touches the body in four places Sometimes the wrong four. But that is not ils main drawback What makes a shift intolerable is that it not only fails to cover the knees; it is split up the side as well. Kor someone already in the throes of a knee complex, the effect is shattering. It has made me plumb shifty eyed. Many visitors are taking ad vantage of the summer months to travel some of the more scen ic drives on the W uiema Nation al Forest. Among these are the road which runs along the west side of Klamath Lake on the Klamath District. An interesting attraction on this road is Mares Egg Spring. Trails on the district also arc open and in good condition. Ac cording to Bud Twombly, Klam ath District ranger. Cold Springs trail is receiving heavy use. Back country travelers will find the trails offer an enjoyable trip. Campgrounds on the district are receiving heavy use. Around the Lake of the Woods district all campgrounds arc open with Ihe exception of Aspen Camp ground, which remains closed while improvement construction is underway. Kourmile I.ake Campground, a developed camp ground at rourmilc Iakc, is open. A rough surfaced road leads to this recreational area in the mountains. Pishing fair to good on the district. On the Chemult District Digit Point Campground remains closed because of construction, but alternate camping spots are available at Miller Lake. All sys tem roads on tlie district are open, but dusty. Cindered roads are rough. Trails to Maidu Lake and arornd Miller Lake are open. Hemlock -Mountain trail is open for a mile. -Miller Lake has not been restocked. Travelers are reminded of logging traffic along the Silver Lake road. All roads on the Chiloquin Dis trict are in good condition. Wil liamson Campground, as well as tlie back country camps are re ceiving good use. Fishing re mains good in all streams on the district. Nights are cool, with warm sunny days. Tlie woods and forest fuels are extremely dry, and great care should be used with fire. ash, the liny material comes principally from Fly which smokestacks, has been found to be useful as an aggregate in con crete and concrete blocks. SCHOOL Work Books JONES' OFFICE SUPPLY 629 Main TU 4-4197 GERBEH, Calif. Though this; may be the space age. tlie time of sending rockets around the earth and to the moon, Godfrey Humann has set the wheels of progress in reverse to the "good old days" when steam power was the mainstay on farms, railroads! and in industry throughout tlie land, when neighbors were de pendent on each olhcr, and threshing lime was a time of so cial gatherings, Humann and son, Paul, have gathered old-time machines from far and wide, cleaned, repaired, painted and put them in operat ing condition. These include ma chines that weight un to 10 tons and are over half a century old Why? Because these were the type of machines he remembers while living on a Nebraska farm and he's never forgotten the haunting whistles and chugging of the steam threshing rigs. So that those nostalgic memories may be preserved and passed on to our present generation, Humann and son will present California's first steam threshing bee open to the public Sept. 1 and 2. Actual threshing of B.tXH) bun dies of wheat and oals will take place.

But she had to go to Ireland, which has no driving test, to get It. The license is good for one year and may be the last one she will ever hold. The Irish parliament is studying a bill which would insti tute driving tests. Miss Hunter became something of a public figure last year when a driving teacher told her to stop the car in the mjddle ol a lesson, jumped out, cried "This is sui cide" and walked away. She drove home bv herself and got a ticket for driving with out supervision. The nct day she. lalked a friend into accompanying her on a drive.

Miss Hunter took a driving test, hut failed alter mak ing seven false starts, running a red light and parking three feet from the curb. She tried taking more lessons but found it nearly impossible to get an instructor who would stick with her to the end of (he course Miss Hunter went to Northern Ireland and took anolhcr test but failed again. She killed the engine at a cross roads, turned the wrong way on a one-way street and got stuck in a standing line of taxis. In order to get an Irish license, she had to take up residence in Ireland, and now keeps two homes one in Dublin and one in Stockjiort. She remained rov a b o u w net her she was actually driving on English roads. "I am an adequate driver." Miss Hunter said. "I have not cheated.
