Student Feeling s V Storm clouds hanging orer stu dent relations between Salem and Eugene high schools at last appear fbont to be dispelled. - The eager sun Is expected to itoPetp through with a smile this TsEiornlng for Editor Lucy Brown, of the Salem High Clarion, has ed- - ltorlallxed in a peaceful tone and expressed a desire by local gtu- neighbors only a feeling of "fra ternal fellowship." The excitement had Its genesis early last fait when Eugene high chool declined to sign for the an nual "big game" of football. A bit . angered, at this somewhat unsuitably explained action on the part of the lower valley school, and suspecting the true reason to be fear of defat, a delegation of Red and Black eupporters Jour neyed to that school with a quan tity of yellow paint and smeartd it generously on the Eugene numer als on Skinner's Butte. Some mornings later, Eugene retaliated by whitewashing Salem high sidewalks and buildings, property of tbt Bchool beard, not of the, students. Feeling ran ., high. .". Apparently as a conciliatory gesture, the Eu gene high principal offered to send hl3 school orchestra to appear in Salem under high school auspices. The offer was declined by Princi pal Nelson. , . - Some time ago, Julia : Creech, associate editor of the Clarion, in a satirical vein wrote an article in that publication! in which were said things not taken kindly by the Eugene students. For i instance,' Miss ' Creech, wrote: "speaking of sour grapes, spoiled tomatoes, rotten eggs, and such luscious fruits and vegeta bles, if you want to see an A Ko. 1 example of said ingredients, just put on the glad ; rags and peddle the old mare down the state about 72 and miles. Tou can't miss the place; it is built on the same plan as the state institution for the feebleminded.!; J And again, in ref ernce this time to the guarantee for the foot ball game offered by Salem and ignored by Eugene, Miss Creech wrote: ' ; ; ; v: - "Do they think we're going to charter Apollo's golden chariot for their big feet and feed them redi um? Not much!; The only thing they'd get now is cracked ice and a grassy lot up on the hill with a little white label." . Prefacing an; editorial reply with a discussion of the desirabil ity of world peace, the editor of the Eugene High News declared in more modulated tone: "The place to! begin to make peace Is right at home. How diffi cult this is In small communities is shown in the! recent article In the Salem Clarion. Whatever may have provoked the article, it is cer tain that good will did not. It had In it the elements of hatred the kind of hatred that makes rivalry between the two schools unpleas ant. . ' "Our school cannot retaliate by writing another article which would aggravate an already disa greeable situation.

And now to aid still more in re moving misunderstanding A comes the editorial by Miss Brown in this week's Clarion pointing out that hatred, did not inspire Miss Creech's article, and expressing a hope for amicable future relations Ferry Boat Stages Great - Rescue In f I. Y. Harbof NEW YORK. Dee. 7 (APH The plodding ferry boat,' the street ear of the water so of ter ridiculed by deep sea sailors, has gathered glory by rescuing seven men. Cap tain James McKillop commanded full speed ahead on the Joseph O'Brien when he sighted a burn ing tug just off bis usual leisurely court from, Rock way Point to Barren Island.
