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

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

ground at rourmilc Iakc, is

but alternate camping spots are
available at Miller Lake. All sys

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

All roads on the Chiloquin Dis

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. The visitors with a kin

Persistent Little Old Lady
Finally Gets Her License
STOCKPORT, England (I'PD
Miss Margaret Hunter, the 66-year-old
retired school teacher
who flunked two driving lests and
drove several instructors to dis
traction, said Friday she finally
has a license.
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

She drove home bv herself

Miss Hunter went to Northern
Ireland and took anolhcr test but

She killed the engine at a cross

she had to take up residence in
Ireland, and now keeps two
homes one in Dublin and one in
