Lebanon girl Losf And Found Eggen renews 2-THE LEBANON EXPRESS, Friday, June 26, 1W Picker shortage noted for fast-ripening fruit Quiet time Eugene has I slight shortage of both strawberry and cherry plckera, with no housing available, The Dalles has adequate pickers with no significant shortage at this time. Those Interested In picking Jobs are urged to contact the nearest office of the Employment Division, Newport to host By Mirl Vawter He must have made money, he was always well-dressed and so were his family; but I sometimes wonder how long he piled his trade, I moved away soon after I was married. Pm rather glad I dont know, I shall never forget the unhurried choosing, whether of much or little, from the bulging packs of the gracious, obliging peddler. Maybe America needs more of these qualities; we seem to have lost them too. Lebanon couple honored by Historical Society A Lebanon man who Is the nephew of the late Leslie Haskln.

whose work, "Wild Flowers of the Northwest," Is on page three of today's Express, has been honored by the Oregon Historical Society. Harley Haskln and his wife of Route 1 received the Henry Collins award for their work collecting Information on pioneer cemeteries during the past four years. Park Grant Streets 97355 We have much mora leisure than In years past but we seem to have much less time. Oh, we go camping, fishing, to the beach or the mountains more often; we have barbecues In the back yard, parties In the living room and get-togethers on the patio. Everything Is movement, activity.

But somehow we nave lost the feeling of quiet relaxation we had while swaying slowly In the porch swing who has a porch swing any more? -with a book, a piece of embroidery, perhaps a neighbor In desultory conversation. Nobody worried about missing a favorite TV program there wasnt any not even radio. We children would count white horses, and when we got a 100 we could make a wish but usually we lost count. One great day was when the pack-peddler came along. He was no here-today-and -gone; he was a resident of the city and came about as often as the Watklns man.

He was a stocky but tall Assyrian with dark olive complexion and an accent, and he always carried two large telescopes large canvas boxes bound In leather, over two feet long by half that wide and almost a foot high. From them you could buy such necessities as shoelaces, handkerchiefs or lisle stockings, materials for dresses and underthlngs. I bought my weddliur linens from Mr. Mesalem and I still have one of the tablecloths; how It survived I dont know. He would wet a finger and apply it to the underside to show -you It was real linen; the dampness came directly through If It was.

He had stamped embroidery pieces and the thread to work them; trimmings, buttons. We would spend a whole afternoon on the front porch. Just enjoying the sight and touch of lovely satin ribbons, Valenciennes lace, yardage of real silk, none of which we could afford to buy and he knew It. This was a necessary preliminary to the purchase of the commoner things we really needed, all of It gone through like a sort of ritual. I suppose he sold the silks and ribbons someplace, he was welcomed In many well-to-do homes with the same pleasure and courtesy he got In ours, but If we bought such things the occasion was very special.

He brought bits of news and carried thejn; he gave advice on styles, sewing methods and baby care.
