THE IOLA REGISTER, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1978 By Bil Keane Lone woman climbs a mountain for something different to do to climb snow-covered mountains at the equator." She said she also plans a sledding expedition to Antarctica. Wistfully, she said, I kept remembering (during the climb) mat the way you eat an elephant is one bite at a PAGE 8 THE FAMILY CIRCUS, "Did you wash "Who? Me that showed their hard use. Bruises showed on her sunburned limbs. She was delighted by the group that greeted her at the summit, because it included several pack horses to carry her gear down to the valley. She said she was eager for a bath and her first good meal in more than a week.

I had apricots and cereal last night not much, she said. Ms. Johnson, who caUs Kelly, her home and lives in Los Angeles, has worked at times as a firefighter, movie stuntwoman, movie sound woman and ski school instructor. She has climbed mountains for 12 years, scaling El Capitan three times before with others.

ARCHER REAL ESTATE 365-2211 Steve Orcutt 365-7147 Mideast oil dollars are turning to gold JIDDA, Saudi Arabia AP) How much is that one? The colorfully garbed wife of an African diplomat pointed to a heavy gold armband in a shop in Jidda's Badou Souk, the public market place. The merchant brought it out and placed it on his scales, as though it were a piece of goat cheese, weighing its content and paying no attention to the quality of workmanship. It would cost 1,600 riyals, about $507, the merchant said. The woman left, saying she would look around for a better bargain. But not everyone makes that decision.

In fact, a gold rush is on in the Middle East on top of the oil boom, and it runs through teeming Arab and Persian markets a hedge against the sinking value of the U.S. dollar, inflation and political uncertainty. Buying gold is an old tradition in this part of the world, but with oil dollars flowing into all kinds of pockets now, it isn't just sheiks who are buying. Middle-class natives and foreigners working in the area are also in the market. Much of the gold is being snapped up in the form of bracelets and heavy necklaces.

The Chase Manhattan Banks biweekly newsletter, Mideast Markets, said recently that the region particularly the oilrich states on the Persian Gulf has become one of the worlds hottest markets for gold. At least 300 tons or about one-fifth of the world market supply found their way to the region last year, the newsletter said. Gold buying is nothing new to the Middle East, said an American economist in Jidda, one of the key markets. It's been going on for thousands of years. The Bedouins didn't have banks, you know.

Now, with much more money around, a lot more gold is being bought. Little of the buying seems to be done by governments. But in recent months, with the continued decline on the U.S. dollar, brokers in the Gulf area have noted a change in toward yellow gold on the part of producers of black gold. Before they used to regard almost as a non monetary asset, now they are realizing that it is asset to hold, said a foreign to the government of the United Emirates.

The private purchasers are super-rich sheiks whose agents busily buying in Zurich, London, Kong, New York and Bahrain hedge against the weakening They also are Western and foreign laborers who have to the region to catch shares of boom. There are about two foreign workers in Gulf oil What with no booze, no night or movies, theres not a hell you can spend money on here, the economist in Jidda how the gold fever gripped foreigners in this Moslem area.

(AP) Bruised but triumphant, the first woman to climb alone to the top of El Capitan the gigantic granite mass that rises unbroken from Yosemite Valley says, it just seemed like a different thing to try. Beverly Johnson, 31, a wide grin creasing her dirt-streaked face, said after the 10-day struggle ended Thursday that she had bad days and good days. But this was one of the best of days. Lots of times I thought I would give up, said the slender, muscular woman who plans next to parachute into the jungles of New Guinea. She often thought, she said, If I could magically leave (the climb) I would you cant leave.

Day after day, she rose higher and higher, clutching rocks and ropes belayed on assorted hardware which she hammered into the rock. At night, she often slept in slings on the sheer granite wall. She carried about 100 pounds of gear including a tent, sleeping sling, ropes, food, water, and pitons to hammer into the sheer rock. The weather was generally on her side during the 10-day assault, with fair skies and temperatures in the 70s. Ms.

Johnson said that while she was on El Capitan, there were not any choices. You can kind of go down, but if you stood on one of those ledges and looked just go up. She kept climbing, she said, by not thinking about how tough it actually was. You cant think that theres eight more days of this. If you say, Ill climb to here today, you can do it.

After reaching the summit about 3 p.m., the Maryland native was escorted by two park rangers and a handful of reporters down Hie twisting trail into the valley. She wore shorts, a light nylon shell, a blue polka-dotted scarf, knee socks and hiking boots ATTEHTIOII Jack the Beanstalk1 is coming to town!

Fluorescent lights can be installed above the plants but hidden from view by a shelf or cabinet. Above a freestanding planter, suspended grow lights can be very attractive.

The main idea of this is to display a group of house plants in such a way that It becomes a decorating feature, rather than just single plants scattered at random around your homo. The main feature of this box planter is a waterproof tray that Is deep enough to conceal a four- or fivo-Inch pot. Into this tray set a variety of potted plants in such a way that you create a miniature garden of foliage and flowering plants. Place tall plants to the rear or side of tho planter, and small spreading plants to tho front cascading over tha edga. Fill around each pot with moist sphagnum moss to conceal tho pots and help keep humidity high.

A side benefit of this Is that buried In the moss, tho pots do not dry out as quickly as In tha open air.

DOOR RIGHT BY GAROLD HENSON DON'T MISS THE IOLA JAYCEES i a This is the time to plant balled or container-grown trees and shrubs if they are to get established before cold weather arrives. II your soil is dry, and rains aro sparse, then you must water all tall planted trees and shrubs thoroughly if they are to survive the winter.

The main cause ot winter kill ol new plantings is dehydration of tender twigs and buds by wintar winds. If tha root system cannot replenish this moisture loss, then the tissue dies. Therefore, it is sometimes necessary to water even in the winter.

Don't plant a tree according to the size when you buy It. (Many paopla del) Find out the mature size of each tree you are considering, and the length of tima It takas each tree to reach Its maximum height.

A large variety of tree, planted in front of a window, may look great when eight feet tall but can completely block the view In only four or five years. Lot your nurseryman help you select trees to fulfill special needs, such as fast shad on the patio, or as an accent tree by tha corner of the house. Trees make good background and screens for unplaosant views, and also mako groat specimens for accont.
