PAGE lft - PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY, NOVEMBER Oregon Trip Downtown Eugene Area Rebuilding Continues Paitor and Mrs. Hanner in a moment of leisure on the West Coast. (By Rev. Wm. Hanner, former vicar of the Episcopal church) We were in Eugene, Oregon, nearly ten full days. It is a beautiful city. It has many attractions beside Mike so we were happy there. We stayed in a pleasant downtown hotel with a good system of restaurants. It was Canadian owned. Canadian tours stopped. The breakfasts were hearty enough for any one from over the line. Besides all the regular breakfast items there was steak with eggs and fried potatoes, creamed chipped beef on toast, fried mush and sausage (m--m -m- m says the country boy), finnan haddie with boiled potatoes and some other things I forget. Service was unusually good. Our room was comfortable and convenient and was un- derpriced in comparison with some places we stayed. > Our dining out was a very pleasurable part of our stay jn! Eugene. Starvation is unknown in the dining out crowd. Here also is the University of Oregon which will even give you a course in mountain climbing with precipitous cliff for a laboratory. The campus fills the center of town; the school was there before the town expanded. The Willamette river halves the city. In days not too far gone an old car dump disgraced the river bank. That is all "ago" now for the dump has been filled in and planted with roses in many, many varieties. Downtown has been (and still continues to be) redesigned and rebuilt. There are buildings and plantings with imagination and interest. The entree, so to speak, in the center of the mall, is a geometric cluster of fountains, I guess about fifteen in number that do different things. Some well up and overflow satisfyingly, some splash, some splatter. The sound of that running water was cool. It was above 90 nearly all afternoon. Here Mrs. Hanner found something she was looking for - a wool suit with a long skirt. A young saleslady, Karen Hen- slee, took care of us, had the alterations made and shipped the suit to Mrs. Hanner with a cordial note. "Thank you Mrs. Henslee". It so happened that the for­ tieth anniversary of my or­ dination occurred while we were in Eugene. I asked the rector of St. Mary's church if I might celebrate Holy Com­ munion on the anniversary date itself, Sept. 21, St. Matthew's day. He gave me his altar and invited my party of four to breakfast with his staff af­ terward. About thirty folks showed up. It was a happy event for me. The next day was Sunday. After our early service I repaired to a 10 o'clock worship service at the big church across A VOTE FOR JOHN CARROLL FOR SHERRIFF IS A VOTE AGAINST CHICAGO CONTROL OF McHENRY COUNTY AND ILLINOIS THE POLITICAL BASE OF CHICAGO'S DEMOCRATIC MACHINE MUST BE CONTAINED. RE-ELECT JOHN CARROLL A SHERRIFF OF PROVEN ABILITY. A LIFE LONG RESIDENT OF McHENRY COUNTY. A MAN OF CHARACTER AND INTEGRITY. DON'T CONFUSE CHARISMA WITH COMPETENCE. ADV. PAID FOR BY Dan Fry the street from the hotel. There was a TV truck out in front, signifying that the service was to be telecast. I went because the sermon and Bible study topic announced was to be the miracle of Christ walking upon the water. I attended the U.S. Naval Academy in the early '20s and sang in the choir. I was constantly impressed with the great stained glass window above the high altar in the chapel. It was our Lord walking upon the water, fitting for the Naval Academy. The pastor of this church was real good. He was a fine appearing man, his clothes fitted well, he was shaven and barbered, the choir was full, the ushers on the job. The pastor preached for sixty minutes--not one word did he say about Christ on the water- it was all about the feeding of the 5,000. Everyone had a Bible. They followed his Biblical references point by point. It was an attentive and trained congregation but I never got any teaching about the an­ nounced sermon topic. There is enough manufac­ turing in Eugene, plus cars, to play havoc with the gorgeous clear air of yesteryear- everywhere in the West they are destroying their air-just as we do in Chicago so in Billings, Salt Lake City, Denver, Eugene--the mountains are there but smog smothers beauty. The Pennsylvania Dutch have a saying that covers it, "Ve get too late Sch- mart". Even so. One fine day we had a picnic lunch in Hendricks park. Here you overlook the city. In late May and early June the rhododendron in the park are in their period of profusion blooming. A high tide time of year for beauty lovers. There are twenty-seven covered bridges in the county in which Eugene is located. The lumber company takes you through forests (timber farms) on tours. Too far for me to walk. You'd like Eugene-you'd like Oregon-I'm going to tell more next week.

"Fraudulent salesmen in the "house repair" business have an uncanny knack for ferreting out the unwitting, the feeble, and persons who have come from foreign lands and have not mastered English," Scott said. "By the use of innumerable scare tactics, these un­ scrupulous operators secure cash or signatures on contracts for fabulous sums. Although they claim that they are doing necessary emergency service, often they wreck perfectly sound furnaces and chimneys." These con men purport to be registered inspectors of fur- naces.chimnevs. catch basins, and electrical wiring in order to give their misrepresentations plausibility, Scott safiT Another frequently used approach is the offer to clean and service furnaces for a bargain price because the repairman "happened" to be in the area. This is often used as a device to enable the fraudulent businessman to enter a home in order to damage a furnace so that he may repair it for exorbitant fees. Homeowners who are considering such service should contact the local Chamber of Commerce or Better Business Bureau to make certain that these are reputable businessmen. "It may be cheaper in the long run to pay a little more to a business you know to b£ reputable than to an unknown firm offering" "bargains." Those "bargains" may end ui costing you more," Scott ad vised. rv- IJ PLAY IT SAFE... Zlj*~T .
