Swimmin Pool, Picnics on Farm and Visit to Beach as Caddy, Boy's Idea of Having Good Time. A reporter of The Oregonian yester day received an assignment to get up a sory of the fact that school was out. As he had been out of school for years and could not write with the nec essary feeling, he hunted up three pu pils who were able to produce all the feeling anyone would want on this subject. Margaret Gruenig, aged 12 years, a pupil of. the sixth B grade in the Hol- laday School, reported as follows on the subject, "Why I am glad school Is out": "No more pencils, no more books, "No more teacher's cranky looks. "At last schoolj has let out. Now In for a good time. I am certainly glad that I am not tied down to the hard school bench for the next couple of months. "Learning to swim will make a good pastime- this Summer. A vacation In the country will be the best sport of all. Some of the children will have a good time at the. beach and others at the mountains, but In the end it all amounts to the same. It's the freedom we are after." Sylvia Westengard, aged 11 years, a pupil of the Davis School, wrote: "I have several different reasons for being glad school is out. First I am glad I passed honorary. Now I can go to the beach and have a good time Ash ing, clamming and. bathing in the ocean. But what pleases me most Is to make a little friend of mine very happy this Summer by taking her with me to tho beach. She has never seen the ocean and I know she will think it great sport to go In wading with me. Then think of the nice trip on the boat going home ready for school." A boy's version of the situation is given by Harlan Gram, aged 12 years, living at 358 Larrabee street, a pupil in the sixth B grade: "Today is tho last day of school and I know many kids are happy as I am. This is vacation time and all the boys are glad. We are looking forward to the swimming pool and the good times wo spend with our friends on picnics and on the farm. Every vacation I go to the beach and earn money by-being caddy for men. This money I put In the bank. There are other games and pastimes we have which help make a very good vacation."

ACT PLANNED IMPULSIVELY Lad Says Resistance by 'Caiier Would Have Prevented Glcndale Hold-Up I liglit Through Hills Described at Gold Beach. GOLD BEACH. Or., June 26. (Spe cial.) Tired, sick and hungry from his ten days" journey over the rugged mountain trails, Ray Diamond, the youthful bank robber, who on Monday, June 9. held up Cashier Smith, of the Glendale State Bank, and secured over $2600 in cash, walked into Gold Beach this morning and surrendered to Sheriff Bailey. Diamond is being held In the coun ty jail of Curry County pending the arrival of Sheriff Quine and Deputy Sheriff Frank Hopkins, who will leave for this city after the prisoner tomor row. When searched following his formal arrest a total of J2610 was found on his person. Of this amount J19S0 was in currency and J630 in gold was found in his shoes and wrapped about his limbs. In his pocketbook was found about $33. which was his own money. Diamond says he got only $2610 from the bank. Holdup and flight Described. Diamond talked freely to a corre spondent of The Oregonian after first declaring he would say nothing for publication until he appeared in court. Finally he said: I had just as well tell the whole story." I was drunk when I robbed the bank and had been drink ing nearly a week because my lungs hurt. I was nearly wild drunk and I am worse than an 'Ingun' when drunk. "I had been out hunting and when I approached the bank I had no inten tions of robbing it until the thought struck me all at once. I went in and told the cashier to hand over the money. "If he had grabbed my gun it would have been all off and I would not have shot, and would have thought it a good joke. "I had not planned to rob the bank until walking by it, but I had been wanting to go to school and study drawing and thought 'here's my chance to get money,' and I went after it. When I came out with it, I hardly knew what to do. "They commenced shooting at mc, and when bullets went between my legs and grazing the skin, I guoss I returned the fire, but didn't try to hit anyone. Home Visited In Kllgbt. "I got out of town and circled around to my father's ranch, got my knapsack out near the sprinsr. where I had left it when coming from hunt ing, and started for the mountains. I camped four or live miles this side of Glendale. the first night and crossed the mountains the next morning. "I met three fellows with six-shooters, rifles and butciierknlves. I guess they were looking for me, but I Joshed with them and saw they were afraid to try to take me. I told them 1 was going to Galice, but I started tho other way, and when I looked back they were run ning as fast as they could go for Galice and I hit it up the other way. "Having sobered up, I decided to give myself up and Intended to go to Grants Pass, but thought so many armed fellows, like these, would be waiting for me that someone would shoot. I did not want to kill anyone and didn't want to be shot myself. I started for the mountains, started south, went to the Peavinc Ranger sta tion, cut across southeast to Bear Creek, was lost In a fog a day, went down Howard Creek, spent one day in the tunnel, went across Bear Creek and stayed three nights at ranger stations. My grub 'run out' and I came on dowu and reached Norton's mine and on Wednesday I got to the Wootcy Red Tub mine for dinner. Fugitive Poses as Manhunter. "They all talked about that 'outlaw bank robber,' so I told them .1 was hunting him. "I went to Agness and bought a suit of clothes for $7.50 and some tobacco. I stopped at the Cooley Hotel at Ag ness Wednesday night and left this morning on the fish boat at u o'clock with Ellhu Fry for Gold Beach. "I threw my rifle overboard and made the boatman think I dropped it by ac pident while cleaning it. 1 never had any pistols or knives; nothing but my 25-35 rifle. "I guess I am In for it. but I want to get back and take my medicine." It is the belief of the Gold Beach of ficers that Diamond will defend his ac tion on the grounds of being intoxi cated, or mental irresponsibility. . It appears perfectly rational, however, the officers say, and displays no symptoms of Insanity. Diamond entertains the hope that the return of the money intact may save him from a long prison term.
