NQBLEWINS NEW LAURELS A. H. tea has tendered his resigna tion aa secretary .of .the state, fair board, effective July 1. The resigna tion, which came as a complete sur prise to the board, was handed in yes terday at a meeting held in the Im perial hotel. Mr. Lea gave as his rea son for this step that he has accepted a Dosition aa vice-president of the Backers' Mortgage corporation.. At the urgent request of the board, Mr. Lea has agreed to carry on the work for the coming state fair if it is absolutely necessary. The board considers this to be the case, in as iniirli mb the fair will be held in about three months, and the time is too short for a new man to take up the task at this late day. "There has been nothing but com Tlta i-n-nnrrnt ion and harmony be tween members of the state fair board and myBelf," explained Mr. Lea, on the adjournment of the meeting," and this accounts for the success which has marked the career of the' annual event. I am resigning to ac cept a position which offers larger compensation and, what is more im portant, is not a political Job. 1 am simply taking this step to better -myself. I do not know who will be se lected as my successor, and I have made no recommendation, as I feel that the board will pick the best man available." Members of the board expressed their regret at course of events. "But," said W. H. Savane. "we can not stand in the way of Mr. Lea get ting more money. He has been an ex cellent secretary and we dislike to lose him. However, he has been of fered an opportunity which he can not isnore." The. resignation came as such a sur prise that the directors have not had time to consider a successor and, any way, they have exacted a promise from Mr. Lea to "carry on" until the pending fair is over. The position of secretary carries with it about 13000, and the directors will have many applicants, but in dis cussmg the situation yesterday they insist that none but a high-class man is wanted. Mr. Lea has been paid $4000, be cause the board considered him worth it. Mr. Lea has held the post of sec retary for the past five years. MEREDITH MAY BE SUCCESSOR lira's Administration as Secretary of Board Regarded as Successful. SALEM, Or., June 26. (Special.) It was stated here today that mem bers of the fair board will be called together in Salem late in June, when A. H. Lea's resignation will come be fore the body for official considera tion. It is also likely that a succes sor to Mr. Lea will be erected at this meeting of the board. Mr. Lea was elected secretary of the board to suc ceed Al Jones early, in 1916, and prior to that time had resided in Portland, where he was engaged in the cream ery business. At the time Mr. Lea entered upon his duties he was confronted with debts contracted by previous admin istrations aggregating several thou sands of dollars, and the necessity of erecting additional buildings in which to care for exhibits and other fea tures connected with the annual event. The last report submitted to the board by Mr. Lea last January showed that all of these debts had been paid. the new stadium, costing more than $50,000, had been erected and paid for, and many other improvements had been made at a cost running into six figures. Mr. Lea was in active charge of four fairs, the last of which was said by members of the board to have been the most successful ever held in the state. Besides furnishing the best entertainment features available. Mr, l.ca succeeded in arousing renewed interest among farmers and livestock raisers, with the result that those de partments in recent years were con 1 ceded to be the best of any state fair in the west. i Although no intimation was given here today as to who would succeed Mr. Lea. friends of tho retiring of ficial said it was possible that the name of Prank Meredith would be considered by the board. Mr. Mere dith formerly served as secretary the fair board, later going to Yakima, vv asn.. as secretary or the Washing ton, state fair. He recently returned to lera to make his home. Mr. Lea is potentate of Al Kade Temple bhrine, Portland, and was ac tive in the management of the recent conclave of thp order in that city PIONEER OF ,1850 DEAD Funeral Services to' Be Held Mod : day Afternoon, .

As the result of investigations into the dental health of Portland school children, made by Dr. Edna Sherrill Karnes of the city health bureau, the Portland chapter of the Junior Red Cross, acting in conjunction with the Portland" District Dental association, has arranged for the establishment of wo portable dental clinics, operated by three dentists and three assistants, Journey from school to school- and care for the teeth of the city's boys and girls. The clinics will begin their years work in September, when the public schools reopen. .y According to the observations of Dr. Karnes, as well as Investigations made in August, 1917, by the local dental association, SO per cent of Portland's public school children are n need of dental care. Lack of dental health of the child mitigates against- mental efficiency, and consequently the condition should be corrected as soon as possible, ac cording to the Junior Red Cross and the society. At present city children are being given dental attention at the Neigh borhood house and the city health bu reau, but only 7 per cent of those in need of care are coming to these clinips. The dental clinics which will be naugurated in September are. modeled along lines advocated by army au thorities. The three dentists and as sistants will travel from one school to the next and perform needed work as soon as practicable. It is thought, however, that the clinics will be reg ularly maintained. Funds for the movement are being received by the Junior Red Cross from local dentists, and it is stated there is no question but that the proposed clinics will meet the urgent need of the city s children. Mrs. S. M. Blumauer, local chairman of the Junior Red Cross, Is heading that organization's efforts in the movement, while Dr. M. C. Holbrook Is acting in a similar capacity for the Portland District Dental associa tion. MAN HURT-IN ELEVATOR LEG PIXCHED IN SHAFT AND HELD FOR HOUR.
