DOTS AND DAS HES FROM A F UR-
LO UGHEE'S OTEBOOK- The eye-stim-
ulating scenery of Al euti an pa norama is
unequalled, but the calm, oothing vel'·
dance of th e Greater No rthwest is food
and drink for th e Wastelander . . . . An
Islander most mis es these three th ings :
first, women ; eco nd, well- make th at
wom en, too; as for the third, a nother help·
in g of the first two will do ni cely, thank
you . . . . My fir t glimp e of Seattl e li ghts
from the window of a n army transport
pl ane strummed over my emotions like a
virtuoso play in g a sweet tune: I felt elated,
humbl e, bewildered, exube rant, incredulous
a nd a lot of othe r thing too in expressibl e
to ex press.
You can view countl ess pictures of Bo n·
nev ille Dam, but th e full magnifi cence of
th e giganti c man· made project is lost un ·
less th e eye is physicall y engaged. . . .
L. Helen Cusson, J ack Moo re's energetic
Portla nd man ager, extend ed a Rose City
welcome by p rofe rring Hi ra m Walker, a
grand old guy 100% proof th at th e drink-
ing of the puddin g is just as e njoyable as
the ea ting . .. . Before tabbing all small
towns as th e "sti ck ," cast a loo k a t Kelso
and Lon gview, the cleanest, qui etest, most
modern little citie on my sojourn .
Rescue on the run: Hollywood co uldn' t
have bettered this one. As we roll ed along
the hi ghway, my buddy and I noticed a
car ja mmed on the railroad tracks and the
franti c occupants signallin g like mad.
We beat th e train to th e p unch, but it was
a close punch. . . . Th e gra nddaddy of
'em a ll was the 100-year-old Civil War vet,
hale and c1ea r·eyed, living on mellow memo
ories. He joined the Grand Army at 16,
partook in th e Second Battl e of Bull Run ,
calls Lincoln our greatest p residen t, a nd
neve r cea es to be surprised at th e prog ress
of this fa st-changin g world . .. . th e gush.
in g falls of Oregon, spectacul a rly bac k-
grounded by clay, rock and multi·hu ed
gr eens is a memory-stencil er.
Canada: the land where p retty girls
aren' t afraid to smile-if you a ren' t afra id
to smil e fi rst. Thi is the pl ace where the
Ameri can doughboy is warml y welcomed
becau e he's a n America n, not for his
dough, boy . . . . th e zoot suit war is past
history in th e U.S.A., but Va nco uverites
are still fighting. In Chinatown the boys
with th e bl oated trousers wage undecla red
war on all uniformed men ... . The hottest
topi c in town is th e "Zombi es," or soldiers
wh o won' t voluntee r for overseas se rvice.

On August 29th Budge ca ught a 40·

Astoria and had the p rize fish canned in
ha lf·poun d ca ns und er hi s own label :
"Budge's Best." La bel showed Budge reo
c1 ining in a fishing boat, wi th a bottle of
co rn likker at his side, a fi shing line tied to
hi big toe, a nd bi g salmon j um pin g out of
the wa ter all around the label. Original
letterin g had been "Budge's Bu t," a nd
th e " u" was replaced with the "e" wh en
the 40·pound er fin ally decided to take the
ba it and take u p homestead in Budge'
80 little half·pound cans.
For Christmas Budge remembered hi
fri end with two cans of the prize salmon
snu gly nestled in a bi g box of huge jumbo·
size Engl ish walnuts. All in all- the prize
novel gift of th e 1944 Christmas seaso n.
And , thanks, Budge for including tbe
ed itor of THE REV IEW.
