CALLIN As I travel about the Salem dis trict I am constantly told that the daughters of the family are in Sa lem working In a, cannery. The mothers of, these girls are won derincr about them, what they are doing and Just what their working conditions are. Knowing this, I resolved to Tis it tanneries and attempt to sec the situation as these mothers would see.it. I -kept in -mind the Questidn, ?Xs this a place where I would be willing for a daughter of mine' to work?" I found much that was Interesting. J Work is Not IJasy First ot all, the work is not eruy. If any one Imagines that these rlrls are here just having a good time they certainly do not know the real situation. The wort is monotonous and very tiresome. However the management does ev ery thing poeaifels to create good workiatg conditions and to milts thtsra as comfortable for the girls aa .possible. Nerer-the-less the work must be done and the doing of it Is not child's play. The workers on strawoemes ao not A&v to do any lifting. Crates of berries are brought to them oy boys and the stemmed berries ars taken away. None of the werlc '8 I 'T FEME PEACE DEMOTION CONTEST IS FRlO.Vr Eleven children, etments of the Jason Lee dally vacation church school, will Tie for a sllTer medal at a peace declamation contest tp bo held Friday evening at the Wason Lee church, under the aus pice3 of the Inter-church good-will council. Paul Ellis, president of the council, will be chairman, and members of the church school will furnish the program, with Mi33 Gladys Gilbert In charge of mu sic and Mrs. Edna Ellis coach for the readers. Contestants will be Mary Col lar, Ruth and Betty Fargo, Mild red Rickman, Dorothy Duncan, Lavina Deppen, Marvin Mattson, Billy Mudd, Geraldine Peterson, Geraldlne Parper and Charles Reinke. Judges will be Mrs. S. A. Eanghlin. Miss Dorothy Taylor and C. A. Sprague. The silver me dal will be given by the Amer lean Peace council of the Friends' church. Following Inspection by mem bers of tbs building committee and conference with Lyle Barthol omew, school architect, work was ordered started immediately on construction of a Bound proof band room at the f-enior high school and the remodeling of two small class rooms into a study hall to accommodate 100 stu dents. Cost of remodeling attic space to make the music room is estimated at about $185, and changes to make the etudy room will cost about $58. Two rooms south of the library will be thrown into one to make the study hall and a door cut be tween the study hail and the li brary. The large study hall has been needed at the school for some time, and particularly for meetings of clubs and school groups smaller than the entire student body. K FIELD LE1S TO VISIT Hi SI Mrs. E. C. Field, weli known pioneer here, left Wednesday with her son. Professor Floyd Field. for Decatur. Georgia. Her visit in Georgia will be for an indefinite period. Professor Field was a graduate of Willamette ' university many years ago. His special field was mathematics, and when he had graduated from Willamette he did advanced studying at Harvard. Far the past seven years he has been professor . of mathematics Ca(l dean of men at Georgia Tech nical Institute at Decatur,' Geor- Teacher Hiring Valid Only at Board Meeting Following inquiries from rural school board members. County Superintendent Fulkerson issued a statement Wednesday that hir ing of teachers, to be valid, must be done at an actual school board meeting, and that in cases where no official meeting is held, mem bers of the board may be Tield personally liable for the contract. Teachers' certificates must carry for the full contract time or be eligible for extension, ahe also sad. done by the girls is heavy or dif ficult. A real attempt has been made to provide comfortable work rooms- They are light and fairly well ventilated and the high ceil ings add much to the comfort of the girls. However, the steam from th cookers Is constantly rising and with many hundred people working together the place Ian t. particularly cool of course. The odor of Cooking berries is heavy and one wonders If these girls will want to eat canned strawberries next winter.. So far I have given the unpleas ant side of the .picture. Now turn with me to where the light of good fellowship and cheer lights the whole situation. The girls are smiling and laughing. Some one is always saying . something to amuse her fellow workers. They seem never to miss a move in their constant stemming of berries but they work automatically and always find time tot alk and laugh with one another. There is a great deal of the spirit of co-operation in the place and every one of the workers seems to be happy. Full Days Work Now At the begriming of the season many of the girls were badly dis couraged because the fruit came In so slowly that they had but a few hours work each day. Now they -are able to- put tn "a full day and the cloud of depression has been lifted, This is the cannery situation as an, outsider found it. Girls are working hard but conditions are not bad and the workers seem to be happy and contented. Support Campaign Against Lawlessness Urged at Meeting MILWAUKEE. Wis.. June it. (AP) Kiwanis- international was called upon today to lend united support to President Hoo ver's program of law enforcement and obedience by Wilby G. Hyde, Chillocothe, O., chairman of the organization's public affairs elm mlttee. Mr. Hyde's plea was made before the 13th annual convention in the committee's annual report. No executive ot the nation was ever made a more challenging statement, said Mr. Hyde, than Mr. Hoover in declaring law en forcement and obedience the dom inant issue before the American people. "Laxity In enforcement of ex isting exclusion laws by 'bootleg ging methods widely and profit ably practiced by an organized industry, evidence the need of drastic preventative legislation," Mr. Hyde's report staled. "Enforcement mayN be greatly aided by strong laws retiring registration of immigrants and subjecting them to the burden of proof aa to their rightful legal en try and domicile.' Harold M. Diggon, Victoria, B. C, chairman of a similar commit tee for Canada, presented a re port recommending that Canadian Kiwanians associate themselves with the League of Nations In carrying out a program of inter national good will.
