Winter Woes Are Related by Iowan 20 Below; Snow Drifting so Cars Can't Be Used Frentress Reports Trials of a former Salem resi dent, James A. Frentress. in the bllxzards of Iowa, are recounted tn a letter received from him this Teek by friends. He Is now at Danbury. From about January 10 to the last week in February, the blis xard prevailed, with the mercury down to 20 degrees below, and the winds blowing about 35 to 40 miles per, writes Frentress, who operated the Model cafe here un til about three years ago. Tve shoveled more snow In the' last two months than I have aH the time I've lived in Iowa. . . . Some ot the main highways are open bnt all of the side and cross roads have from 4 to 18 feet in some of the cuts . . . only those farmers living on the highway are able to get out with a car. We are only 60 rods from the highway but unable to make it vita the car. Our neighbor and I shoveled it out three times, only to see three or four feet of snow pile up again the next day ... so bow we hoof it to town." And at this point memories of Oregon crowd in, and Frentress declares, "Believe me, I'll take the rain running down my neck in preference any old time." ' "It is quite a sight to see sleighs with four and sometimes six horses on to get through with out any load; sometimes the hor ses get in so deep they have to ,be shoveled out. j. "There is very little sign of Wild life. Thousands of birds are found frozen to death. I found 27 pheasants in one bunch with their mouths frozen open, full of ice. "A family living about seven miles from here, back in the field about three-quarters of a mile not being able to get out for fuel, burned their buildings for heat It was rather expensive fuel; bnt they managed to keep warm." Ground Not Frozen When he wrote, February 28, the temperature was up to 38 de grees above, though a small river sear where he lives was still fro sea to a depth of seven feet and three inches. VH Bays, however, that the heavy snow has apparently pro tected the 1200 feet of water pipes la the ground on the farm, and . that beneath the snow, parrnips lft in the family garden spot show green tops and the ground not froien through the snow Is H feet deep there. Pledges Aid to Townsend ; . (Continued from Page 1) men to work hut would pay off the national debt within eight years. The transaction tax is not a sales tax, he contended, since it will reach financial transactions Including operations on the stock exchange. "The plan may cause a light Increase in commodities but the Increase Is worth It it It brings back prosperity." he averred. "In my opinion the added taxes will be . absorbed by the increase in busi ness." . Mahoney drew applause when he declared that he would "take off my coat and work for whomever Dr. Townsend endorses for United States senator." The visiting may or is said. ' have received the founder's support when ! e attend ed the national . Townsend con vention in Chicago last October. Security Pension -Branded Disgrace - -Declaring that the pension act passed by the last session of con egress was "the most disgraceful piece of legislation ever put on the statute looks." Mahoney said: "The " government owes these .old gray haired people who pio neered this country a decent liv ing, r ----- "Government which refuses to help them is not worthy of exis tence whether it be this govern Mahoney Oregon Sta te Flag Flies Again Nearly forgotten and existing only on paper up to a tew days ago, the navy bine Oregon flag bearing a gold escutcheon and gold letters on one side and a gold beaver on the other, has been resurrected by the Oregon State Motor association.

In this photograph E. a McDaniel, president ot the motor club, and Louisa Mailer of the motor dub sUIf, display one of the banners made recently under If eDaniel's direction. Inset shows the gold beaver appearing on the reverse side. Every school, city, county, chamber of commerce and service elub should own and display one of the flags, says the motorist leader. New Oregon State e e ' '1 ' Resurrecting Official Banner Destroyed by Big Fire To Fly Over Motor Gub's Offices The Oregon state flag shall fly again. With this declaration, the Ore gon State Motor association has launched a program to unfurl the near-forgotten banner in every school building, county court house, city hall, chamber of com merce office and service club meeting room in the state. Until a few days ago no Ore gon flag existed, the last one hav ing burned in the statehouse fire, according to E. B. McDaniel, pres ident of the motor association. Oregon, although' patriotic, appar ently had overlooked the absence of the state's official colors, he said. 3 Flags Made Following a sketch appearing in the latest Oregon blue book, and observing the requirements of section 67-1201, Oregon code.j 1930, three flags have been made under the direction of the motor club. These, it was pointed out, are the only Oregon flags in ex istence. ment or any other government." Mahoney's statement that "the Townsend people control the poli tical situation in Oregon" brought loud response from the audience. In opening his talk Mahoney said that he was not here to make a political speech but only to ex plain the Townsend plan. He in vited anyone to interrupt him at any time. "I like to be heckled," Mahoney explained. Gty's Auto Camp To Be Playground (Continued from Page 1) 1935 increased to $527.37 even though it was conceded there were more travelers in 1935. During the year ot 1935 the grounds were thrown open to pic nic groups. A large number of or ganizations made use of the grounds during the year with in dications that even a greater de mand will be made in 1936. If plans for the abandonment of the auto park and the improve ment of the grounds are approved by the council it is believed by the park .hoard that greater benefit will result to the public in using the grounds for recreational pur poses.

Culture or Social Duty No Argument e For Listening to San Carlo Company at Portland But Just Enjoyment in Hearing Opera A Boston critic has written of the San Carlo Opera performances that the people who go to the San Carlo opera go not because they think it is a social duty or because they wish to affirm their "cul ture." They only go to listen to the performances of Mr. Callo's excellent company, because they like to. This critic added. "Mr. Gallo does not permit incompe tence in his company. He has been fortunate in finding many excel lent voices." Never has the latter remark been as true as this season. His roster ot artists which he will bring to the Paramount Theater tor eight performances of grand opera, beginning next Tuesday evening, include some of the fin est singers In the country. In his tenor section he has Dimitri Ono frei and Aroldo Lindl who have thrilled audiences for several sea sons, and Rolf Gerard, a new American tenor, who has receiv ed favorable attention In New Tork and other Kiajor cities. The soprano list Includes Bi anca Saroya, outstanding singing actress, who performs well in ev erything she does. Hlzl Koyke, Is the most famous "Madame But terfly" of the present 'day.

Banner Significant "Knowledge ot the flag, and proper observance of it, are as im portant to the welfare and pro gress of the state as many of the things we have been taught since childhood. The banner is attrac tive and carries an Important sig nificance," the motor club leader said. Mr. McDaniel said his associa tion would obtain flags for organ izations desiring them, handling distribution directly out of the Portland office. WPA Men Oppose New Requirement (Continued from Pae 1) ceived orders from E. J. Griffith, state administrator, that these in structions should be followed. Although WPA crews in this county have lost an average ot one day's work in 10 due to unfavor able weather, they will be requir ed to make up only the time miss ed during the present payroll per iod or the last previous two weeks' period, T. J. Sheridan, labor relations officer, said. "We are simply carrying out in structions that have been handed to us," Karstetter declared. "This is not an arbitrary ruling for this county alone. Lost 2H Days' Work On Average, Stated "During the last snow, workers lost an average of 24 days' work. We are required to 'dock their wages if they do not make up this time where possible in the present pay period." Laborers on crews whose pay period ends in the middle of next week will have to make up only one day's work, today, while oth ers will work today and next Sat urday to make up time. Workmen on the Marion street WPA project, on which the center parkings are being removed, ob jected to making up lost time to day because, they asserted, they had reported for work during the cold weather and begged the fore man to permit them to work but had been told to go back home.
