The ambassador said that phraso "expresses my chief instructions received from the president of the United States as I left for London to take up my duties as American ambassador and to enter on offi cial relations with the two great English fpeakinp peoples. That phrase expresses the Intent of the Kellogg pact. Service Men May Unite in Slogan "It expif.'b'ses a purpose in which you.- comrades of the American Legion may unite with you. It expresses a purpose in which former service men of all armies of the World war, whether they served with or against us. may unite with you. To further the ideal of comradeship as oppos ed to force as arbiter between na tions is to further the hope of peace and progress and happiness of all humanity." Ambassador Dawes prefaced his xemarks by a personal reference to the Prince of Wales. When on Memorial day the latter visited the wounded and talked with them, the ambassador said, "he went straight to the heart of the American people, not only as 'a prince but as a man." Prince Delighted -to Welcome General Dawes The prince had previously ex pressed his pleasure at meeting delegates from all over the world and said the gathering was "all the more important for the pres ence of the American ambassador. This Is the first opportunity I have had- to welcome personally General Dawes to this country. We greet him as ambassador but we also greet him as- representative of the former service men of the United States. 6BEAT en TO LONDON, June 25 (AP) One of the first acts of the new labor government has been to ca ble the announcement to all the dominion governments of the British empire that Great Britain Intends to resume diplomatic re lations with Soviet Russia in the near future.

The ordinance has two main provisions: First, general sanita tion of food establishment prem ises; and second, health examina tion for food handlers. Enforce ment would be largely in the hands of the city and county dairy and food Inspector. Food Establishments to be Carefully Inspected . Food establishments, in the or dinance described as any place where food is preparaed for sale or sold, distributed or displayed for sale, would be carefully in spected not only for general sani tation of the premises but for pro per washing of dishes and utensils and to make sure that only pure foods be prepared or sold. The health examination, as the ordinance now stands only one be ing required for each employe, is designed to protect food from be ing handled by persons with dis ease. A health certificate will be issued by the county health officer to all employes and owners exam ined.

NABBED lit PORTLAND Shall Scouts Get Camp? Up to Public Contributors, six In number came into the Statesman office Tuesday to add their bit to the fund for a permanent summer camp north of "Mehama but slight ly less than $100 was on hand when the count was made at 6:00 o'clock and $200 was needed to bring the campaign objective of $300 to a successful finish. Tomorrow The Statesman will publish a list of all contributors to the fund up to the present time and it is hoped that at least a score more local citizens will "do their bit" to make tbe summer camp a reality. - According to O. P. West, scout executive for the Cascade Area, more than 150 boys will this sum mer take training work at the camp. Heretofore the scouts have been forced to take their summer work at camps provided by other councils but with the erection of a permanent camp cookhouse, per manent floors for tents and the se curing of a long-time lease on 37 acres of land near Mehama, the Cascade area can now have its own camp location. West is very anxious to see that the $300 is on hand this week to purchase materials for the per manent camp buildings. All work on the project is being donated Contributions should be mailed or brought to The Statesman of fice, checks being made in favor of the Cascade Council of the Boy Scouts. Judge Harry Belt, presi dent of the council, has heartily endorsed the project. STATE PARK BOARD Two Men With Highway Commission, to Secure Park Locations Governor Patterson appointed H. B.

Out standing feature of tbe year was HAUL PUPILS School Board Opposed to Purchase of Trucks for District Many Phases of Problem of Transportation Up at Meeting Dr. H. H. Olinger, chairman of the Salem school board, and W. H. Burghardt, clerk, were author ized to enter Into negotiations with J. E. McClean of Salem and to complete contract if satisfac tory arrangements are evident for transportation of pupils from oat lying districts to the local high school, at Tuesday night's school board meeting. Motion to that ef fect was made by Director Frank Neer. Negotiations will call for a two-year service. Neer's motion brought to a par tial close several weeks of consid eration of the transportation prob lem placed upon high school dis tricts through enactment of the last legislature, and at the same time his motion brought before the board more clearly than ever an me ranimcauons or tne im porting" of pupils. The board early went on record as opposing entering into the bus business for itself, due largely to a feeling that another legislative session may see fit to cancel the law, thereby leav ing the district with a number of "white elephants." Numerous Problems Bob Up Before Board Problems which bobbed up at Tuesday night's meeting and had not been previously discussed in cluded: drivers for the busses; routes to be established and who is to establish them; discipline to be maintained in busses; number of pupils to be transported in each bus. Discussion of liability in case ot accident was also indulged, the paramount question being wheth er or not the district will be lia- 'ble when it simply contracts for use of a bus. The clerk read statement prepared by W. M. Smith of the state superinten dent's office from previous cases, in which it was found school dis tricts were not held liable in such instance. Whether or not the board of directors would be liable was held a different proposition, dependent npon facts in the case. Several members stated that McClean had told them he intend ed to hire high school boys to drive some of his fleet, this asser tion meeting some incredulity. McClean could, of course, hire such boys cheaper than older per sons. The board will hold an ad (Turn to Pago 2, Column ?.) AT HIGH SUGGESTED If suggestion made by Dr. H. H.
