The New Oregon Statesman, Salem, Oregon, Sunday Morning, September 1$, 19S8 FIRE PROTECTIDN DISTRICTS m Creation of fire protection ffa tvtcta to include territory outside 'of incorporated towns and cities, will be proposed at the next sea- elrvn nt thj. lc--ialaf nr hv thd lr. islatlve committee of the Oregon vState Fire Chiefs association. - Tkis was "the decision reached at a meeting of members of the committer held in the offices of Clare A. Lee, state insurance com missioner. here Saturday. Under the provisions of the proposed law each fire protection district would hare its own fire fiehtine amara- tus, which would be . purchased with funds derived from a tax. It was pointed out that the cre ation of these fire protection dis tricts would have . a tendency to red ace insurance rates in-the rural districts, and relieve the towns and cities from sending, their fire fighting equipment into the coun try. . ri Fire chiefs who a&ended the meeting .were William. Nusbaum, Eugene; Tom Coat ea,? Tillamook; Tom Carlon, Bend; Jti jTs Button, Salem; A. C. Kielbldck, Albany; Ivan Pearson, McMinnville; P. R. Graham, Corvallis and C. E. Fos ter, Astoria. H.

This was the informa tion given out here Saturday by Mrs. Ell aShultz Wilson, secretary of the state fair board. 'The fair oppns September 24. A total of 14 counties have re served space for this year's fair and other counties probaMy will enter into the competition before the gates are thrown open to the public. Counties which already have reserved space are Coo. Douglas, Washington, Linn, I' oik, Yamhill, Lane, Josephine, Clackamas, Jackson,' W a s c o, Marion, Columbia and Malheur. All tountv exhibits will be large ly agricultural and will be housed ia thi new pavilion. Two state in , biuutions, the Oregon state hospi tal, and- the Oregon state peniten tiary, will feature, agricultural prodducts in their exhibits. A miniature flax processing plant will be operated by the penitent tiary. All of the other-state in stitutions will be presented in the agricultural building, it was said. Another interesting exhibit wh.th will give the public an" in. bikjut into one of the newer Indus. ir.es of the state, W.U1 be that of the Willamette Fig gardens ot Multnomah county. This exhibit will feature figs and fig products. Walnut exhibits will be entered , by J. J. Doerfler and Pearcy Brothers. The walnut exhibit will be larger than at previous state. lair and no doubt will attract wide attention. The honey exhibit wilt be housed in the new pavilion at this year's fair Instead of in a sep arate building as in past years. Both the state fish commission and the state game commission are arranging exhibits at this year's fair. These exhibits will be of particular interest td sportsmen and Oregon visitors' : from other states. Records show that virtually ev ery foot of sptfee in the several pa vilions has been sold and it may be neceseary to arrange temporary fat-nit Us to handle belated en tries. Thtie also has been an un piticvdiiuud demand for conces sion space. . .. Racing Card Filled' Ail races nave been filled and Uniaue Vacation Trip Is Planned t 5 i STAYTON, Ore., Sept, 15.

Feware the families that do not now have their antique collectors. This attachment, as a general rule, is confined to the older members of the younger genera tion. Grandmothers are prone to laugh openly and mothers are somewhat skeptical of the value and beauty of a piece of furniture which, while Jt maye have been in the family for untold generations, nevertheless is undeniably wobbly, has lost a leg or two, and has re tained a few matted remnants of upholstery. Not more than a week ago we heard two of tb :se arid'collectors in conversation. "You know," said the first, "I found the ennningest little old chair the other day. Of course it will neitf repairs. Oh, they will probably cost about f 30 but it will be worth It!" "And per haps it will, to her. v Search Interesting Wo accompanied two amateur collectors on a search for antiques recently. We drove through sever al small towns, stopping in each . is likely that some new track .-ecords will be made. Both the mile and half mile tracks will be utilized. Free attractions on the mile track in front of the grand stand will entertain the race en thusiasts between heats. Five night horse shows will be held in connection with this year's tair. The entries include a large number of animals from Califor nia, Washington and other states outside of Oregon. Many of.thesi norses will visit Oregon this yeai tor the first time. Among tht outstanding show animals alread entered are those of Aaron Frank of Portland. This string of horses won a large number of prizes at 4. he 1927 state fair. The poultry building has bees renovated and repainted and L. ready to receive the several thous and birds that will be entered iu competition. This department o. iBe tair always attracts much at tention. All available space in tht cattle, sheep and swine barns ha oeen. sold, . ajod it recently .was tound necessary to provide addi tional quarters A new barn is now being erected to house tht. entries in these three departments. Gambling Barred No games of chance will be al lowed to operate during this year t tair, according to orders given b the board of directors. Tht grounds will be- adequately po liced, and every effort will be made to preserve order. In pre vious years officers from Salem, Portland and other Oregon citie. nave cooperated with the rtui. that there were few arrests. Vir tually the 'same police force wil. be maintained on the fairgrounds at this year'a fair. . Additional parking space ha been provided for this year'a fair. Officers will direct traffic, anc cars which enter the grounds wil. be under police protection. There will be more activity in the camp grounds, adjacent to the main gate, Than ever before. Community clubs will havt charge of the programme on tht opening day of the fair. There it considerable rivalry between thest. organizations, and competition will be keen. Liberal prizes havt been posted by the fair board for the best bands entered by these clubs. All school children undei 14 years of age will be admitted free on the opening day of the fair. . ; . vi .- ... --1 H- No Gas Bill No license No Garage BUI No Parking Problem Others Do.

In one such place, after digging through some carefully arranged dnst and cobwebs, -we unearthed several marble topped atrocities which the dealer characterized as "genuine antics," and which, amazingly enough, appealed greatly to .our friends. . Collectors, at least those with whom we are most familiar, seem not merely to have a predilection for things beautiful and tffcTdent- ally old, but rather for anything old, no matter how ugly the lines or how out of repair. ; Homes Cluttered Up There are homes which everyone has visited in which the major but also tables, secretaries (very part of the furnishings are so-called antiques. The owners It would seem, must find their homes some what of a nervous strain for when they have-' guests, as surely youlconducted by the Rabbi Henry J, iave noticed, they suggest rather unostentatiously that their modern pieces, if .any, are most comfort able. No doubt they are more com fortable and certainly they are more substantial. A . number of :he-se people not only collect chairs bus also tables, secretaries (very antiquated versions of desks) or rust anything sufficiently ancient. .The most. recent acquisition to ne of these homes is a maple ta jle with removable top which is 10 doubt very quaint but we had occasion to notice that unless ar ticles were placed with great pre cision in the center or exactly bal mced on either side, the table top with all its Contents is Meposited m the floor. Spool Beds Hobby We have an acquaintance whose special collection hobby is spool beds. Shejias acquired three, one minted black, one painted white, md one of the natural wood a vood which looks suspiciously, at east to a disinterested observer, ike fir. As the dubious owner lid not bother to send any but the ninop' parts of one of the beds, he 'cost of repairs amounted to nore than the price of several new .ieces of furniture of a far better iuality. Even the old coaloil lamps are iow coming into their own. The amp bases have been wired and tra used with shades as eectric ights, the bases of colored glass eing, ot course, the most popular. Electric wall fixtures have been ieslgned which hate the old-fash-oned white glass lamp chimneys 'or shades. Needless to say it is .he grandmothers and not always .be mothers who evince the most enthusiasm over these fixtures. There are many beautiful pieces if old furstHure which we would je very pleased to own. But I will ulmit that the dilapidated pieces tt questionable lines and woods nasquerading as antique and com manding staggering prices have as ,et no great appeal for me.

JEWISH Fill YE1 OBSERVED IN CITY Saturday was Roah Hashanah. or Jewish "New Year" and many of the stores and places of busi ness owned and operated by per sons of that faith were closed so thafUher might participate in the religious ceremonies la the sever; al Jewish churches of Portland. There is no Jewish church jn Salem and no special services or meetings were held here but all of that faith who could went to Portland Fridar afternoon to be there for the beginning services at sundown Friday. There are two divisions In the Jewish faith now, the Reformed Jews, who like the modern Pro testants are more lax in obser vance of religious holidays, and who keep one day for the Rosh Hashonah. from sundown Friday to sundown Saturday. The orth odox Jew keeps two days in re ligious services over the Jewish New Year and is more strict in his observance of all religious .holi days. 1 Services in the new Temple Beth Beth Israel in Portland started Friday night and were Rprknwit. His sermon was en titled "A New Question With an Ancient Answer." A ccording to his sermon racialism, legalism, and prophetism are the threefola formula of the Jewls life.
