The leather craft workers are plying their needles fast and furiously and the boat makers are finishing their sec ond boat. Monday morning we woke up at :S0 to the cheery (cheery to some people but not to us) tones of Vernon McQuaid's -bugle. Many were refreshed by a dip in the Titer, while others wielded their combs and tooth brushes. Contest Held At Inspection At 7:15 we went down to have breakfast and wers refreshed with pancakes and mush. Every body then worked hard to get ready for Inspection. Leader of the winning tent was Stanley King of troop two. Salem. After inspection, leather craft, sisnaling and boat building class es were organized. The leather work classes are under Mr. De cora, a full blooded Indian, and signalling clasr.es are conducted by Don Douras of troop 12. Sa lem. "Admiral" Mayo, troop 25, Staytoo, handles the boat build ing classes. After lunch wsj rested until 2 o'clock and from 2 to 4:30 o'clock we went on a hike under com mand of Frank Edmundson, troop one, Salem, alias "Prune Drier." After coming home from the hike we had a refreshing swim. After supper a ball game was held, the north side of camp against the south side. The south won, 11 to 3. After that we had a campfire.

They also had to get shakes about 30 Inches long and an inch and a half wide. The fellows had to march around in a circle and yell as loud as possible and hit the fellow ahead as hard as possible with the shakes. After the initiation we had a mock trial. Don Douras was at torney for the state and Vernon McQuald was council for the de fense. The prisoner, Fred Ed mnndson, was found guilty. Then we went to bed. That night our tent and anoth er were on night watch. I had the watch from 2 to 4 a. m. We bad a beat that took us all over camp and we did our beat every 20 minutes.

TIE LONGER REST WASHINGTON, July 24. (AP) With the senate out of session. President Hoover is to take a more extensive week end test at his lodge In Virginia, leav ing tomorrow after lunch and re turning early Monday. Last year three day excursions to the Rapidan lodge were fre quent, but important matters this summer have confined the chief executive more closely to the White House and only over the Fourth of July has he stayed at his . mountain camp more than two days. Instead of the long procession of automobiles which In the past has trailed the president, this week end he will be accompanied only by the secret service car and that carrying Lawrence Rickey, his secretary, and Captain Joel T. Boone, the White House phy sician. To minimize the danger of accidents guests' cars will go singly. Although the president has de clined a motorcycle escort, the roads through Virginia to his camp will be more thoroughly pa trolled to curb speeding. KARACHI, india, July 24.

McAllister's statement follows: "In a statement Issued last week, the joint commission on admin istrative re-organization claims the dismissal of Judge Sawyer from the highway com mission by Governor Norblad demonstrates the need of a cab inet form of government constitu tional amendment. "The argument was made that the new appointee of the gover nor would have to be passed upon and approved by an interim com mittee of the senate, and, there fore, the governor would hesitate to dismiss a state officer. "The members ot this commis sion have overlooked the fact that the proposed constitutional amendment has made no provi sion for the appointment of an interim committee by the senate to pass upon appointments by the governor made between sessions of the legislature. It has merely provided that the governor shall appoint the directors created by the amendment with the consent of the senate, not by some com mittee appointed by the senate. The constitutional amendment having provided the manner of appointing these officers, the leg islature would have no power to make other provisions.

"It is the belief of the oppon ents of this amendment that there would be built up a power ful political machine under the governor, and that all of his ap pointees would be required to ad vance the governor's political In terests or else lose their jobs. ' "The Sawyer instance demon strates on a small scale what would happen If the amendment were passed, for there Is nothing In the proposed constitutional amendment which In any way re stricts the power of the governor to dismiss his appointees. Decision In U. S Case Pointed Ont It was recently held by the United States supreme court in the famous Myers case, wMph originated In Portland, that ev en though an appointment must be made with the consent of the senate, the appointing authority in that instance, the president of the United States could dismiss his appointee without any action by the senate. "Under the proposed constitu tional amendment, the governor could dismiss any or all of his appointees, with or without cause. They would necessarily have to do his bidding or face dismissal. All Independence on the part of these subordinates would be de stroyed." v NoLonly is the climate of Sa lem conductive to abundant growth of land products but it is particuarly beneficial to the health of the men and women who live here and to the physical development. of children.

PIPED MILL ffl Fifty or 60 additional men will be employed at the local paper mill If the expansion desired by that Industry can be effected, de clared Truman Collins, director of the corporation, when he was in Salem on Thursday on business. Collins said he made an inspec tion of the mill and found It great ly hampered by lack ot room. As a result inefficiency is bound to come into the manufacturing pro cess. With enlargement possible, Col lins said the directors had com pleted plans to operate, after re building, a fourth paper machine which would mean at least 50 new Jobs. Much of the product of the company here goes to Honolulu and to the orient, Collins said.

States National Bank' Salem, Oregon Uemfe : UNITED STATES NATIONAL GROUP OF BANKS Officials Seek to Bring Out More Parents to Wit ness Exams Preliminary plans for the health . program la the Salem schools for the coming year were mapped yesterday by Miss Carlot ta Crowley, elementary school su pervisor. Dr. E. L. Russell, school physician, Supt. George Hug, Mrs. Grace Wolgamott, head of girls' physical education, and Dr. Ver non A. Douglas, county health unit head. The group decided that health examinations will be given this year in the first, fourth, seventh and tenth grades, these to be fin ished if possible before the close of the first semester. This means that every child in the grades named will be given a thorough examination. Also, children en tering the Salem schools for the first time and those referred by the teacher will be examined. Want Parent To Be Present Effort will be made to interest more parents to be present when their child Is examined, and as an added inducement. It is prob able a schedule will be worked out to permit more parents to at tend. The committee believes that It is most desirable for parents to watch the examination, as well as hear of the outcome, tor in this way greater results are expected to be accomplished. An intensive campaign to have a large number ot the beginning or first grade pupils examined before schools start is being worked out and will probably be put on in September prior to op ening of school. Preschool clin ics to this end are held at the health center this summer. Manitoba Man Is Here For Study Of Tax Systems Ernest W.
