First Saturday In May Official Date Although the original, history-' making meeting at Champoeg oc curred May 2, 1843, the sponsor ing societies have set the first Saturday of May each year aside for the commemoration, in order that school children who wish to do so may have an opportunity to attend. Judge Peter D'Arcy. who is nresident of the Champoeg Mem orial association, an office which he has held for more than 20 years, was present at the first ob servance 29 years ago, and recalls that scarcely more than a hanaiui of pioneers was present due largely to poor roads into the place. That first meeting, and likewise subsequent ones for some years, was strictly an open-air meeting, no building having been constructed until recent years. Times Greatly Changed Old Timers Observe Today, not even lack of a build ing or of modern roads leading to the park will help the observers to conjure again the time of the Hudson Bay company; of Dr. John McLaughlin; and of the days when Champoeg little more than an Indian village was the center of population In the Willamette val ley, and consequently the most, convenient place to reach May 2.' 1843; or later still the immigrant wagon trains that made their way from the east for the next decade. - The complete program for to day's mteting, at which Judge D'Arcy will preside, includes: Basket dinner and exchange of greetings at noon. Call to order at 1:45 o'clock. Song, "America," audience, led by Howard L'Shoff; Mrs. Shoff, accompanist. Invoca tion by George H. Lee, pastor Newbisrg Presbyterian church.

Parts were well taken, and the coach, Mrs. Gerald Prescott, had developed a smoothness of action with the young actors which was fvery, commendable. The spirit' of the play seemed to have been caught and - lived by the caste. Miss Power, was lovely as the ro mantic girl; and Frank Lombard reached a real peak inenterpra tlve action when he explained the romance in real life as compared with make-believe. Camilla Gates, as the neurotic mother of "my only daughter, Mellsande" was very satisfactory, and. Earl Henry as Era Introduced a fine note of humor. , All told the play was well chos en, wel caste, and well presented. The caste included: Henry Knowle, William Mumford; Mary Knowles, his wife, Camilla Gates; Mellsande, his daughter, Florence Power; Jane, his niece, Dorothy Taylor; Bobby Coote, Hugh Cur rln; Gervase Mallory, Frank Lom bard, Ern, Earl Henry; Gentleman Susan, Joseph Silver, Alice, Mar jorie Miller. "The Romantic Age;' by A. A. Milne had much to do with prin cesses and the land of make-believe. A romantic girl, Miss Flor ence Power, lived in determined hope to find a prince charming not having to be fed and not be longing to the stock exchange and she found a young man who could see romance in fairy stories and real life as well. Between them they created a fairy land of make believe and swept the audience periously near to forgetting that the Queen in her royal robes and her lovely princesses were not real, and that the land of fairy stories might not be best after all. The prince In the case, Frank Lombard, very nicely merged ro mance and reality so that with the fall of the last curtain there was no unhappiness that with all said, life must be a bit mora solid than the, mere crown and scepter. The organization back of the caste was: Mrs. Gerald Prescott, coach; Paul Geddes. manager; Homer Roberts, stage manager; Newton Sanders, property mana ger; Elizabeth Atkinson and Marie Messersmith, wardrobe mis tresses. Salem Woman Dies In Portland . Benetta Z. Smith, wife of J. R. Smith of 483 Jerrla avenue, died at a Portland hospiial after an Hlnesa of seven days.

Senator Norris, republican, Nebraska, a leading advocate of the debenture plan, sponsored this move. Curtis May Decide Issue By His Tote Because of the close division, Vice-President Curtis may be called upon to break t tie vote, although administration leaders are hopeful that before a vote is taken tomorrow or Monday they will be assured of a majority in favor of eliminating the debenture plan. The administration group sus tained a set-back today when Sen ator Nye, republican. North' Da kota, Announced in the senate that he would Tote for the debenture plan. Nye had been claimed by the opponents of the plan after he made known last week following a visit at the White House that he saw no reason at that time for voting in favor of the debenture section. The North Dakota senator de clared today, however, that he was convinced the adoption of the de benture section would not mater ially delay the enactment of farm legislation In spite of Mr. .Hoover's opposition to the plan and that while he had decided to vote for the proposal he hoped It would never have to be Invoked. Nye Says Passage Just Waste of Time Nye said he had felt the deben ture plan faced certain defeat and its approval would result in wast. Ing time In asking for It when "we ought instead, be seeking ear. ly passage of the best bill avail able to the ultimate end that we might more quickly have demon strated the positive need for re sort to this greater departure In the way of legislation as a final effort toward the restoration of agriculture." ' "The assurance Is," he added, "that the effort made for reten tion of the debenture plan in tbe farm bill will not oscasion great delay and that its success or de feat may be expected within rea sonable time to permit the bill to become operative. In a measure, upon the 1129 crop. . . "More than that, the debenture feature is made a part of the bill to be resorted to as an emergency if and when the farm board finds other means of relief attempted Inadequate. Thus, by adopting the debenture part of the bill at this time, we make ready now for an event that might some day occa sion the call for action by congress which might better be provided now and in advance and held in readiness for such a possible oc casion."
