EIGHTY-THIRD YEAR
Case System t Used Instead
; Of Mass "Handling of
Unemployment -
Aid Given Directly,- Work
' rrflan " Minimized- in;
, Altered Program 4
By STEPHEN C. MERGLER.
. Slfnal changes -effected in ad
, lalnlsterins relief in Marion coun
ty this season are leading toward
greater efficiency, Improted care
of the ' needy and more satlsfac-
tory terms to : husinessmen It
. was announced at the business
office of the Marion county relief
t committee yesterday. The ac
complishments this ear are In
part mealed by the committee's
report for October.
Expending 16706.91 allotted
this county by the federal relief
administration, the committee last
month eared for the 3971 persona
listed on its rolls as definitely
without means of other susten
ance. Of this money, $240 was
expended for clothing, $875 for
supplies to operate the portable
cannery whereby huge quantities
of perishable foods were preserved
for winter use, and the balance
on food.
Money All Utilized
In Direct Belief.
Contrasting with the relief pro-
- gram, last winter, under which
thousands of men were employed
on the roads and woodlots super
vised by the county court, this
season's program at present is di
rected almost wholly toward us
ing erery penny of funds for ac
tual relief. The county is divided
into 11 districts, four in Salem,
and each in charge of a trained
' social worker who studies the
needs of her charges. The relief
-committee believes efficiency is
peing Heightened through sup
- planting mass handling jt- unem
ployed with the case system.
; Last month, however, 161 per
sons were employed by the com
mittee securing relief through dis
tribution of approximately $1800
In grocery orders on the basis of
a 30 cents an hour wage as speci
fied by the federal relief admin
istrator. Twelve of these men
were single, the remainder sap
porting one or more other per
sons. A glance at the Leslie junior
high school playfields gives an
. example of benefit accruing to the
public from such relief employ
ment as was provided. The once
swampy lower field is being raised
and drained, a new field is being
levelled oft near the street and
grading is being done for the ul
timate location of five tennis
: courts. Other work was done at
'. Olinger ' field" and9 Englewood
school here and at various other
school properties throughout the
. county.
Grocers are now ,free of the
competition of the relief commis
sary that was operated last year.
Individual families are now given
orders on the store of their choice
for foodstuffs their district work
er feels they need. The only item
dispensed directly by the relief at
.. present is the salt pork provided
- by the federal government. Re-
lief officials have not yet been
notified as to when they will re
ceive Other kinds of foodstuffs
SOW being bought Up by the gov
ernment. None of the committee's
canned goods from the portable
cannery hat yet been used.
The county relief workers judge
the needs of the families under
their observation in part by a diet
: list prepared by Jessamine C. Wil
liams and Lucy A. Case, Oregon
State college dletlsts. , The ad
vised weekly rations for a family
, consisting of parents and two chil-
dren, for instance, Is specified by
i the diet list as follows:
Potatoes -15 pounds," tomatoes
two eana, green vegetables six
? pounds, beans or peas one and
' one-half pounds, ' dried fruit one
and one-half pounds, other vege-
tables or fruit six pounds, bread
or flour 12 pounds, rolled oats two
pounds, rice or macaroni two
pounds, flour other than for
bread three and one-half pounds,
milk 14 to , 17 K quarts, butter
three-fourths pound, -sugar two
pounds, eggs three-fourths pound,
meat or fish three pounds, salt
' pork one'to two pounds, and small
quantities of peanut butter, lard,
cheese, colfse, tea, cocoa and oth-
: er materials requisite to cooking.

Roll Call Money Goes for
Curing Defects Among
Children of Needy
Marion county chapter of the
Red Cross will use the funds de
rived from the annual roll call
which starts
Monday princi
pally for correc
tion of physical
defects of child
ren whose par

ford medical ser
vices for them. This decision was
reached at the Friday noon Red
Cross executive committee meet
ing. Heretofor, no provision has
been made for funds to take care
of such children, except as schools
or clubs have saved funds toward
this end, so it is felt direction of
most of the roll call funds in this
channel will be particularly for
tunate. Funds for the campaign are al
ready coming in and late this
week an 80-year-old man, who
prefers to remain unknown, call
ed upon the campaign leader and
left a check of $80 for the Red
Cross. :
Salem and Marlon county will
be asked to raise $5000 on the
roll call. Under leadership of Mil
ton 7i. Meyers, general chairman
for the campaign, every effort
will be made to reach this goal at
the end of one week's intensive
drive, starting Monday morning
when the corps of workers will
take the field.
Nationally, the annual member
ship drive starts Armistice day
and lasts until Thanksgiving, but
the chapter here hopes to do a
thorough job in the six days.
Judge George Rossman of the
supreme court is chairman of the
county chapter.

WhoWori
onors in War
O Expeditionary forces, holder of
the Congressional Medal of Hon
or, bestowed Xpril 21, 1919, and
enough otherrr to make young
boys yearn for the next war.
And in case the above. Isn't
enough description for the reader
to identify him: In spite of his
height he looks stocklly built,
thanks to a rotundity in the ab
dominal region. Then, too, the
observer who is looking for It may
notice an occasional twitch of the
head, one of the aftermaths from
participation in every major en
gagement on the western front in
the war. Eyes: blue.
Now it happens Sergeant Atkin
son is a modest man, and it it
were war time he might behead
the reporter for what he would
caU undue reference to him and
his war record. And yet again,
since Salem is now his home (he's
married and with Mrs. Atkinson
has settled in West Salem) and
since he is selling automobiles
here, for the Bonesteele Sales and
Service company, he might let it
go by as an unasked tor bit of
business publicity.
Xerve Told General
To Get Out of Way
Incidentally, Sergeant Atkinson
is probably the only man In the
war who had the nerve to tell his
divisional commander, in heat of
battle, to get out of the way so
the Boldiers could "do their
stuff." A mutual friend told the
reporter the incident: ,
Atkinson, on outpost duty, saw
the general, Charles P. Summer
all, (later chief of staff) roam
ing about near at hand. Summer
all was unarmed, which apparent
ly was gall to the man at the out
post. So shortly this conversation
ensued:
"How're things, sergeant?"
from Summerall.
'Pretty hot you better clear
out", Atkinson has since admitted
he was a bit brusk, but Summer
all came back:
"I guess you are right". And he
cleared out".
Almost the first words Ser
geant Atkinson said to the report

his attitude of the war and fight
ing: "We all know the real heroes

BEARCATS PUT
BY 1 3-0 SCORE
Original Backfield Clicks
Impressively in two :
Scoring Marches
Ole Walks 20 Yards, Makes
Touchdown; Dangerous
Brown Is Stopped ,
By RALPH CURTIS
"Clicking'' on offense as they
had not done since the first home
game against another bunch of
teachers, the Willamette. Bearcats
scored a surprise 13 to 0 victory
over the strong Southern Oregon
Normal eleven on Sweetland field.
The Bearcat team, with the first
string backfield intact for the
first time in six weeks, gave im
pressive evidence of the power it
might have had all along were it
not for a disastrous series of injuries-to
ball carriers.
Coach "Spec" Keene's men
went to work with a vengeanee
after the second exchange of
punts, dashing and crunching by
turns for a steady 75-yard scoring
march that would not be denied.
Manfred Olson and Johnny Ora
vec took turns packing the ball
and ripped off four first downs
to the 24-yard line; Johnny made
four more and then Ole bowed his
neck and marched walked, not
ran the remaining 20 right
through the S. O. N. S. team. Wil
liams place kicked the extra point.
Late in the fourth period Wil
liams intercepted one of the Sons'
23 pass attempts and raced back
30 yards to the teachers' 46. Ora
vec gained five and then threw a
pass, Willamette's second of the
game to Mills for 20 yards more.
Oravec and Williams made It a
first down on the 10, and then Ole
was sent in again. He banged the
line for four yards, then served
as a decoy for Oravec who
skipped through the weak side on
a delayed buck for the second
touchdown.
The Interim between touch
downs was one continual, desper
ate effort on the part of the Sons
to score. Elmer "the Great"
Brown ran the ends and passed,
even cracked the line occasional
ly; he got away for four runs of
more than 10 yards, his beet go
ing for 18; and the passes, most
of which he threw, connected
eight times, but four were inter
cepted by Willamette's alert
backs.
The Sons made two serious
threats to score, once reaching the
Bearcats' nine-yard line and again
the 13.
Brown's efforts, however, and
the impressive runs made also by
Lancaster, lacked the 10-man in
terference which characterized the
Bearcat attack throughout the
game. All of Willamette's regu
lars and likewise the numerous
reserves who saw action, made
numerous spectacular plays both
on offense and defense; though
Brown became so slippery for a
time that Oravec had to desert his
safety post and move in to stop
him.

"Wise and Prudent Act as
Well" Says Ellis; Many
In Drive Locally
Spending money may not seem
a bit of patriotism, but that's one
thing it amounts to as well as
profiting the individual to buy
while prices are still low in the
nationwide Buy-Now campaign.
Salem's month-long contribution
to national recovery, started
Thursday, is already gathering
force,
Additional merchants, about 40
in number, added their support to
the movement Friday. Stores will
make extra' heavy bid for aid in
the buytng campaign through fea
tured articles en which prices are
advancing." Business men report
ed unusually heavy business Fri
day. Officials of the NRA organiza
tion in Washington are already
declaring themselves satisfied
with the way the buying move
ment over the country is, going,
William P. Ellis, Salem NRA
chairman, stated Friday. Many
towns started their Buy-Now en
deavors in October, and others are
yet to join in line.
"We all realize that this move
ment has a tremendous humani
tarian significance," Mr. Ellis de
clared. "But while we are aware
of this phase of the campaign,
we are not basing our appeal on
patriotism, emotion or sentiment.
We are urging people to buy be
cause it is wise and prudent to
do so.' He continued.
Higher Costs Inevitable
With Wages Increased.
"At the present time, we all
know wages have Increased and
hours have been shortened, thus
adding to productive costs
through every process from raw
material to the finished article. In
addition, processing taxes, elimin
ation of child labor, pauper labor
and sweat shops has worked to
bring about higher prices.
"The more buying we do as in
dividuals, the more jobs there will
be for those now unemployed, and
the more secure will be the jobs
of those who are now employed."
Urging full cooperation with the
merchants in .Salem, Mr. Ellis
avowed.

Minutes After Craft
Started South
PORTLAND, Ore., Nov. 10. OP)
A glancing blow of plane
wing against the top of a tall
tree which stood like a sentinel
of doom on the fog-smeared hill
side, was today blamed for the
loss of four lives and the de
struction of a huge air liner.
A surgeon of International re
pute, Dr. Robert C. Coney of
Portland, and three other men
met death in the plane when it
spun around in the cloudy skies
last night and crashed on its side
on the wooded hill near Port
land. The other .dead were Ar
thur A. Trostler of Chicago, sales
manager of the Grlgsby-Grunow
company; Herman Cohn of Port
land, vice-president of the Elec
tric Steel Foundry company, and
A. W. (Al) Davis of Seattle, vet
eran pilot of United Air Lines
Western Air Express.
Six other - persons were hurt
but only three of them requir
ed hospital attention. They were
Dr. John Straumfjord of Port
land, assistant to Dr. Coffey, se
vere bruises and shock; Robert
E. Pelouze, Portland, investment
broker, fractured knee-cap; and
H. B. Woodworth of Oakland, co
pilot, broken nose, fractured rib
and burns. Floyd Hart of Med
ford, E. J. Powers of Glendale,
Calif., and Miss Libby Wurgaft
of Oakland, received minor burns
and bruises.
22-Year-Old Stewardess
Heroine of Smashup
Within five minutes after the
air liner left Swan Island airport
en route for San Francisco, it
had spun heavily to the ground
and flames were sweeping through
Its metal structure. The heroism
of the 22-year-old Miss Wurgaft
who has been with the transport
company about two months, was
remarked upon by the survivors.
Although dazed by the terrific
impact, she braved the flames
and the danger of explosion sev
eral times to determine that all
who could be saved were taken
from the ship.
Those who lost their lives are
believed by survivor- to have
been tilled outright by the crash
or to have been rendered uncon
scious. After repeated attempts to
remove them from the cabin,
flames drove the other injured
passengers from the ship. The
bodies of the dead could not be
removed until today. They were
burned beyond recognition.

The first thing that worried
Miss Libby Wurgaft, 22-year-old
stewardess, after she had helped
four passengers escape death in
a burning plane that took tne
lives of the pilot and three other
passengers, was that her eye
brows might have Leen burned
off in the blasting flames.
When she found this had not
happened, her worries as far as
herself was concerned was over,
and after a good sleep at a hos
