Field Crops ;Good ' ' Nine'teen-hundred i thirty-three was a moderate year here as far as temperature . was , concerned, with a cool, damp spring and a mild summer and . winter. . Grain and hay crops, broke all records for the county ancrTops turned out. fairly good despite the rain following Labor, day. Prune crops were- practically nil but several ; local driers operated by handling ; Douglas county prunes which were trucked. here. ' i - State and national bank: holi days, kept the local banks clos ed for a period of" 13 days in March, but. both institutions re ! opened without restrictions. The national government' took part in. the affairs of the eitizens here ' with the wheat control plan, the NRA and the hog control plan Just starting. CWA and FWA pro-1 - jectr were started throughout i- Polk county late in -November and t early in December and' hare pro-' ! Tided employment tor over 300 men and ars assisting greatly In faking xare or the unemployed. Mill Case is Thorn Dallas merchants signed ( up ilOO per cent for the NRA, but the : . proposal of the West Coast Lnm- - bermen's association to limit the pours of the local mill and throw jnen out of work - has changed opinions of the NRA somewhat The matter of the mill case is in the hands of Federal Judge Mc- Nary in Portland at present and a decision is expected shortly. Dallas went wet in sentiment aa well as in-weather this year when she added herrote to others ' in the sUe In repealing prohibi tion. Dallas had Toted, drjlong before prohibition and the change in her attitude came somewhat as surprise. ".. - '.'.., New county officers who took office the first or the year were C. S. Graves, county clerk; Ed C. Dunn, county assessor, and Wil liam Boydston .county treasurer. . These men all replaced members id the old guard who had held office for several terms.

He was tried and .found guilty but sen tence was - postponed until De cember and later postponed again r until July 14, 1934. OtW court , cases which. aroused interest were, the moral-cases this fall in which several - Polk county men - were found guilty and sentenced . te jail and penitentiary terms. ' Dallas schools also did. their part In "making 1933 an interest " ing year with the athletes of Dal ' las high taking all county cham pionships and placing as runner r up in the district basketball tour- ney. for the second consecutive "year. Debate and typing teams of the high school also helped gain honors for the school. Hopes of the citizens her.0 for 193 are that the mill will not be forced to close but will be . allowed to continue Its two - shift , operation, and that business will continue on the upward trend. ' Unemployment here has been re lieved considerably and the hopes are that all men will be back on ' Jobs next - year. ; Farmers - and growers are hoping for a real - prune crop" again and for better- - prices. . - WOODBTJRN Jan2. :The Woodburn Woman's-clnb will bold Its- next, regular meeting in. the club', rooms of the city library Wednesday afternoon at '2:30 o'ciockv-v k r ' J i? vJ The program has been arranged by Mrs. A.
