Presbyterian Pastor Severs
Relations With Local
Church Today
At a congregational meeting of
the First Presbyterian church last
night, the membership agreed,
with regret, to Join Dr. Norman
Kendall Tully, pastor who recent
ly submitted his resignation, in
petitioning the Presbytery for
severance of the pastoral rela
tions. That this might be accom
plished as soon as possible, the
Presbytery has been called to
meet here this afternoon at 4
o'clock to hear the petition. C.
A. Kells, elder, will be the local
delegate to the Presbytery, which
Dr. Tully will also attend.
Dr. Tully opened the session
last night, after which J. P. Bates
presided. The congregation ex
pressed deep regret a tthe resig
nation of the pastor. Carl F.
Smith was clerk at the session.
.The congregation voted upon a
committee of five to pick the
most likely candidate for succes
sor to Dr. Tully, however these
names are not to be published un
til each member has accepted.
When this committee has reached
a ananlmous decision on a candi
date, the congregation will again
be called together to accept or re
ject the committee's recommenda
tion, this process to be repeated
until a new pastor is selected.
Although It was seven or eight
months before the pulpit was
filled after Rev. Willis Long, Tal
ly's predecessor, resigned, the
group expects a new pastor will
be selected within three or four
months this time.
Action was also taken request
ing a possible candidate for the
pastorate to supply the pulpit un
til the new pastor is chosen. The
congregation has in view the
name ot one pastor whom it hopes
to get as a regular supply pastor,
but the name Is being withheld
until the man has time to consid
er the proposition.

peded by the still froxen drains,
and If the rain continues today,
as the forecast indicates, flooding
such as has seldom been experi
enced here, will result.
Snow Disappears
Very Rapidly
The snow was rapidly disap
pearing Tuesday night, but the
Ice In the streets still clung ob
stinately and even though it
turns to slush, will be a nuisance
for several days. It was predicted.
The final break-up of the cold
spell was accompanied by several
varieties of weather, including a
silver thaw which began early
Tuesday and coated automobile
windshields with ice. Pedestrians
everywhere were in danger of
slipping and breaking their necks,
and automobiles which were
parked head-In to the curb in
many cases had to be shoved out
as their wheels spun on the glassy
Ice.
At times the rain ceased to
freeze as it fell, but early Tues
day night there was a coating ot
ice a quarter of an Inch thick on
al lexpo8ed surfaces, and a real
silver thaw was in progress.
Then, without warning, the sil
ver thaw turned to an ordinary
western Oregon rain and plenty
of it; the visions ot broken tele
phone and power wires and a gen
eral tie-up of communication
were transformed Into fears as
to what the rain In combination
with the snow water would do.
The break-up ot the cold spell -came
without warning, Tuesday
morning's minimum temperatur?
being 11 degrees above serosa
temperature similar to that whion
had been recorded on many of the
frigid nights.
Tuesday up to S o'clock :he
mercury had risen no higher than.
37 degrees, but it was warmer
than that at midnight. ,
Winter sports were at an end,
and the controversy as to whether
streets on Fairmount hill should
be cleared or kept as coasting
courses was settled automatical ly.
"Members of the city council ex
plained Tuesday that the streets
were cleared with a view to pro
tecting the same youths who re
sented it, as several near-accidents
had occurred because of
sleds crossing South Commercial
street with its heavy traffic.
