t The Newi-Reiew, Roseburg, Liberty Bell To Be Exhibited In Weekend Parade The Oregon Liberty Bell, and 52 others now touring other states and U.S. possessions, represents the cooperation of a good many Ameri can firms, according to George W. Mimnaugh, state director of the Liberty Savings Bonds drive. The bell, replica of the Liberty Bell in PhiladelDhia. will be on display in Roseburg this weekend. Its second visit was timed to co incide with the rodeo. The bell will enter into the weekend's festivi ties as part of the parade Satur day. The bell will arrive Friday night and leave Monday. The group of bells was donated by six of America's copper companies:- Kennecott Copper com pany. Phelps-Dodge Corp., Ameri can Smelting & Refining company, American Metal company, Ltd., .Mi ami Copper company and the Ana conda Copper Mining company. Other companies which provided materials and labor for the under taking were the Kord Motor Co., Standard Oil Company of New Jer sey, American Bridge company and the Rudie Wilhclm Warehouse Co., Inc., Portland, which furnished Or egon's driver, Lucas r. weuer. The bells were cast outside this country because no firm in the U.S. was able to fill the contract. A foundry at Annecy, France, a small city near the Swiss bor der, called enough of its craftsmen back to work to undertake the job, at a cost of $120,000. Not only are S3 bells the exact size of the origi nal Liberty Bell, but they have ap proximately the tone as heard in Philadelphia that July day in 1776 when liberty wasa proclaimed throughout the land. The bell display heralds the sav ings bonds drive now underway. It will be taken to Corvallis after the Roseburg appearance.

He was fired today by the village council for "consorting" with the mayor'a wife. Solons of the suburban village of nearly 500 voted the dismissal 6-2 after listening 5-i hours to the case of Fay & Faye. Fay Dalrymple, the chief, was accused by Mayor Clem (Bud) Ley, 40, of consorting with Ley's wife, Faye, 39. Ley testified he suspended the chief May 9 when he found him with Faye in the kitchen of the mayor's home. In the six weeks since then, the villagers have been choosing up sides. About 200 of them attended the hearing last night. But the chief said hjs visits to the Ley home, "maybe lour or five a week," were either on official business or errands for the village women. In ousting the chief, council de cided he was guilty of "malfeas ance and misfeasance of duty, in .that he parked the police car at the mayor s house while ne "consorted" with the mayor's wife and by thus using the car on vil lage time deprived the village resi dents of proper law protection. Ley said he was unable to pro duce any evidence of actual "il licit relations" between his wife and the chief. Things Looked Funny But, he declared, it "looked funny" that the police car was reported in his driveway every morning after he went to work at a downtown auto body shop he operates. Mrs. Ley said she left the mayor May 9 and went to live with a sister after he accused her of "not acting like a wife" when he found the chief in his home. Ley's charges against the chief were first aired in a cross peti tion to his wife's divorce suit. The Leys have three children aged 18, 16 and 10. Chief Dalrymple said his trips to the mayor's home often con cerned building inspection, one of his other village duties. He said Mrs. Ley kept his records of building permits and other official matters. Other times, he claimed, he con ferred with her on such commun ity functions as a fireman's dance, Red Cross drive, and vari ous women's club activities. "We had a lot in common," Dalrymple admitted of his rela tions with Mrs. Ley. "But what the mayor said about us is a big surprise to me."
