Then, amid plentiful uproar at assemblies timed to newspaper-edition deadlines, the prettiest teen-ager at each high school in Portland is named Princess of the Rose Festival, a civic promotion of considerable local sanctity...
...Unemployment continued to spread, partly because of the entrance of graduates, students and other summer job seekers into the labor market.
