Tolice Remembered City po lice were not forgotten by Sun day's comic valentine dispensers. The officers received a varied ar ray of the sheets, some poking fun at them, others apparently show- inr slsms of rrudzes. All were tacked on the walls for the amuse ment of station house visitors. Prof. Inventive Professor C. R. Monk of Willamette university has perfected a system of printing stereopticon slides which not only saves expense but also permits carrying almost limitless numbers of them with, the machine with out any difficulty. Instead of printing views or notes on glass plates as before, he prints them on transparent paper and inserts them into the machine between two glass slides. This saves up wards of 40 cents on each slide. He uses lantern slides consider ably in teaching biology subjects. More Trouble Filing second supplemental answer to complaint of R. C. Koeher for divorce, Fran ces Kocher says he tore the cord out of an electric clock and tried to prevent fuel coming to the house. In a rcatlon she asks that the trial be continued from Feb ruary 17, as she has had to use what money ho supplied for attor ney's fees for support money, since he has failed to provide support funds ss directed. Savs Accidental Louis Tan zer pleaded not guitty before Jus tice of the Peace Hayden yester day to charge of assault with a dangerous weapon.

Good Visibility Found Excel lent weather and the best vlsibll ity ever known were found by the 80 Chemeketans who made an overnight trip to Mt. Hood over the week end.

The trip was made without accident Fire Gut House Fire believed to have started from a flu yes terdav virtually gutted the resi dence of Mrs. Agusta Maple- thorpe. 478 South 16th street. The lieht construction of the building made it impossible for firemen to stop progress of the flames before the heavy damage was done.

Febru ary 16. at the Hotel Marion. AU u in SHOULD GET JOBS Employing Outsiders Means More Workless People Here Says Howard Appeal that preference be giveu Oregon school teachers for em ployment in Oregon school dis tricts was contained in letters pre pared Monday by C. A. Howard, state superintendent of public In struction, for the consideration of district officials. "The purpose of this communi cation is to urge that special con sideration be given to the employ ment or Oregon teachers In rilling vacancies for the coming school year," Howard wrote. Under normal conditions there is something to be said fo some exchsnge of toachers from stat to state. Bnt these are not normal times and there Is an acute neces sity for giving employment to able teachers Jready here rather than to bring in teachers from outside the state. For the yoar endlnc Auauat 31, 1931, a total of 265 teachers from other states obtained Oregon teacners' certificates. One hun dred and forty-six of these were elementary school teachers and 119 were high school teachers. In dlcatlons are that virtually all of tnese secured positions in Oregon scnoois. Would Not Dismiss Employed Teachers 'I am not suggesting that these teacners be dismissed to make places for others but I do feel Jus tified In urging that Oregon teach ers be employed to fin vacancies that will occur for the coming year. All the institutions In the state that train teachers maintain appointment officers who will provide information concerning their graduates, those with teach ing experience as well an those without. T "County school superintendents are ready to aid school boards In finding good Oregon teachers for their schools and to secure fall in formation regarding those who apply. "During the spring and summer of 1932, every time a school board elects a teacher from outside the state an Oregon man or woman will be left without employment For every teaching position that will become vacant, a trained and fully competent Oregon teacher can be found. "I believe that school officials will agree that la a period such as this only an extreme emergency would Justify the bringing in of outside people for work that our own people are prepared to do.' women tion of to be present. interested in the promo- this organization are urged Drunks Pay, Forfeit M.

LI FJ HEADS T H LIVESTOCK HATES E 1 May Reopen Case; Hearing On Detroit Station is Held Here Monday UPON WAGE CLAIM The case of W. R. Davis against W. H. Puekett company, general contractors on the North Santiam highway construction above De troit, started in circuit court yes terday, with Judge L. H. McMa han on the bench. Davis is seeking to collect 31747.50 alleged due for services given on contract for trucking on the job,, and an additional SS518 for damages suffered when the defendant allegedly broke contract with him. Davis contends he had a four- month contract to furnish all trucks needed on the job for 16 hours a day at S3 an hour, except at such times when the steam shovel was not working. On June 25, he says, defendant refused to let him further perform the work contracted for. Defense had not started its case yesterday, and probably will not do so until afternoon today.

The new commlssiou consists of two newspapermen and a merchant. That should make good news, but it is feared the new commission will not make as good news breaks as the old one, particularly by the mem ber from Salem, the only one who did not resign, bnt was summarily dismissed Charles K. Spaulding. It was understood on good au thority that before an entire new commission was announced the governor spent most of Saturday and yesterday attempting to get Ainsworth to withdraw his resig nation. Apparently Ainsworth had enough of sniping, and re fused. That is why the governor did not get here yesterday. ;And with the announcement came the Information that the first meeting of the new com mission would be held in Sa lem tomorrow for the purpose of organization. Maybe that will be another step or effort to get them to meet in Salem. This time the capital city is not represented on the com , mission. This is the second new com mission on highway matters appointed by the governor dur ing his first 13 months' admin istration. The old commission was also appointed by him. Of the group J. C. Ainsworth served the. shortest time, sev eral months, with ITanley next. They both resigned.
