With a score of 21 to' IS the Sa
lem high basketball team woo, from
the Eugene team last night in a
game played on the Salem high floor-
Hot h teams played a "dirty game.
More, than 20 fouls were called dur
ing the game. Play began at 7:45
and the first move of the evening
was a foul on Salem. It seemed that
this held evil abode over the entire
evening as the Eugene team kept on
an even pace with doing their share-
Every player of each team just
"battled" their way through. Eugene
1 had fine teamwork but tbeir goal
rhooting was poor., Salem's basket
work was good. Schaef and Gill
made some phenomlnal shots.

The First Step
It naturally follows that the first
step is to start a bank account. All
you need is a dollar and a backbone.
Won't worry about how small your
Hrstd e posit in the savings bank may
be. The big thing about it is the
fact that you made it today. Let to
day be the beginning of your sav
ings if you are not already a depos
itor of pome bank. If you are a de
positor then resolve to increae your
balance with the bank. Simply nut
ting money in the bank and then
checking it out again, is ) poor bust-
ness. you should allow some funds to
accumulate. However, it is better
to have a small .balance with the
bank than not to bank at all.
He A Good Citizen
A " good citizen realizes that the
"bank Is his best friend and wilt ad
vise him right. Before you invest
money, ask your .banker what he
thinks about the investment. You
will never make any mistakes about
money if yoi? confer with the banker."

ELECTION OF JOHN GILL
IS SURPRISE OF BOARD
(Continued from page 1)
Everyone should realize that they
should use the banks in every way.
Deposit every cent you can in the
bank, but whenever possible put ev
ery- available penny into ' your sav
ings account for in this way you be
come thrifty. Tou are making In
terest on your savings account and
you will be surprised how much you
can accumulate in a few years by
making a system of your savings
Make up you; mind to take a certain
percentage each month, and as much
more as possible, and add.it to your
savings account.
. - Hoy To Save Systematically
The reason most people never save
anything : in their . lives is because
they never have anything left to
save. Here is an unfailing system
ajl you, have to do is to follow it and
you are as sure to become Independ
' ent as the sun Is to shine. When you
get a dollar take ten cents and put
it aside for the savings bank. Take
the first ten cents from that dollar
and save thai, don't ever spend it
and as fast as you get money, simply
say, "Ten per cent of this does not
belong to rue. It belongs to my sav
ings," and don't let anything stop
you, but take the first ten per cent
- and put it in the bank.
Why Should n Save? "
There is a! very great reason for
people saving. The people of the
United States especially have become
spendthrifts. Only about 3 per cent
ever really save. -Government statis
tics show most conclusively that very
few people are in the habit of saving
at the present time. We have been
altogether too lavish., not only with
money, but with our time also. Pro
- duction has fallen off; prices have
risen and we are facing a crisis "un
less we face about and learn thrift
and how to save. If we will save
certain percentage of what we earn.
and If we will strive to work a lit
tie more and thereby produce .more
' nd also at the same time earn more
we will lower the cost of living and
' be' In position to meet emergencies
and the needs of old age when the
time comes and the time will come

In the face of an early adjourn
ment." j Governor Mkes Statement
The governor upon feigning of tli
bill made the 'following statement:
i "Previous to the convening of th
session of the legislature 1 made
statement to the effect that I would
ask the legislature to separate the
eonrol over the commercial fishin?
inerests and the sportsmen's inter
ests. I -said, at that time, that
should the legislature see fit to act
upon my suggestion I wrould ask the
members of the commission to resign
and I would appoint a new commis
sion. Under the present bill provi
sion is made for the separation of
he conflicting interests. I deem
this of greater importance than th
consideration as to who should "ap
point the commission. , At no tim
have I made a statement that would.
in any way, reflect upon the charac
ter, ability or integrity of any mem
ber of th old commission. I have
the highest respect for each and
every one oi them, but I was firmly
convinced that there should be a sep
aration of control of the two Inter
ests if harmony would be attained.
This -bill "provides for uch a separ
ation of control and by so doing I
consider a rtep in advance has been
made toward securing harmony and
efficiency in handling game and fish
business."'
