Queen Mary Rules At Woodburn Fete Dance at Night Does Honor to Royal Party of . High School WOODBURN, May 18 The annual May day festival and crowning, of Queen Mary l, was held In the high school gymnasium Friday afternoon instead of on the athletic field as planned, on account of inclemeni weather. Queen Mary 1, (Mary Jans Shaw) and her court, were sealed before a background of yellow Scotch broom . and lavender wis teria which with the pastel color Ing f of the attendants' frocks formed an attractive setting. Robert Bonney, king, placed the crown for the queen. Attendants were Floris Nelson, Edna Shrock. Margaret Llndeken, Ceceirg Whit ney, Annette Lytle, Marion Cros by, Dorothy Mickels, and Dorothy Lee Wilkins. Flower! girls in frocks of - pink and blue; were Marylyn ' Johnson, Alvis Miller, Joan Olson, and Patsy j Ruth - houseweart. Jack - Bonner was crown bearer and Wayne Walling and Jerome Rue trainbearers.V The gymnasium was decorated from the-ceiling with the flags of all nations and as each group of dancers entered they placed their flag in holders at the side of the room. After the presentation of "May Day with the Nations," di- . reeled by Miss Muriel White, the winding of the May pole was held . and a grand ensemble of all the dancers in a beautiful finale of colors. -. . .;. ..- i j . In the - evening ,a dance was K iven In the gymnasium hdnoring ,the queen and her court, patrons and patronesses were Mr. and Mrs. Ed. LlndeketT; Mr. and Mrs Ivan C. Beers, Mr, and Mrs. C.

I feel, however, that as there Is always two sides to every ques tion, it is only fair that all of the facts be published instead of Just the Jumble of remarks of; a dis gruntled person who is sore be cause he could not get away with a violation of a city ordinance. On the morning of May; 9th. I was instructed to notify the per sons who operated the stand in question that tlier were on city property and that they could not operate there without the consent of the city council. The stand was set up on a piece of property at about J 5th and Madison Sts., on which one of the city water wells is located. I contacted Carrol Wright who told me that he was the; owner of the : stand but that he had loaned it to Clyde Livingston. I informed Mr. Livingston that be was on city property and that he could not operate there ! as the city council ' were the only ones who could give the necessary per mission for the use of city proper ty. Mr. Livingston asked me what a .license would cost and I told him that I thought that it would be $35.00 per day (referring to a concession license, which I later found to be only $25-00 per day.) Mr. Livingston said O. K so I returned to town, j I was called again at about 12 o'clock noon and was informed that the stand had not been moved from the city property and I was instructed to return to the stand and inform them that they could not operate on the said lot and to tell them to move immediately or we would have to move them. I informed Mr. Livingston; that he would have until 12:30 to move his stand or have ft moved. One of Mr. Livingston's helpers got all het up and remarked "Oh. wise guy, you can't do that to u$." I got out of my car and told them that if that was the way they felt about it I would remove the stand right then. Mr'. Livingston spoke up quickly and said. "It's O. K. Coffey, that fellow basn't got any thing to do with it, but f will take it down right away." Officer Nich olson was present at the time and overheard all of this conversation. I am not surprised that the Cap ital Journal printing Mr.) Living ston's letter without investigating the matter as it is in line with the way they conduct their gamb ling investigation. I am under in dictment on just tue say-so of a few crooks, bootlegersj moon shiners, ex convicts and what have you who saw an opportunity to get even" for their past mis fortunes. The Capital Jounral and the public generally are going to be a lot wiser when the trial is over and there afe certain reporters who are going to have a lot of ex plaining to jio before very long. As -for Mr. Livingston wanting to know how long "that bird Coffey" 's going to be kept on the police force, my thought is that for the first time I make a slip or in any way show that I am not capable and give any cause for dismissal I am sure that my chief and the civil service board will act accord ingly, j Those whose own skirts are not clean should be a bit more cau tious in thejr remarks and accusa tions for without competent evi dence and definite proof they may find themselves in an extremely embarrasing position. If this letter does not explain things to Mr. Livingston I can make it a lot plainer. Orey G. Coffey Sergeant Inspector Salem Police Department SEEK TO LOCATE HEIRS Spokane, Wash.

D.' ROBINSON. 701 Hutto$ Blk., ' Spokane, Wash.' To the Editor: j f " . . The Townsend plan by. popular favor must come now or as last resort later. j i jj Franklin D. Roosevelt! is; being criticised at the present jjtimc be cause of the mounting i! national debt during his administration. . Roosevelt did exactly ; what he was compelled to; do, realizing that4he industries of this country were; not going to furnish employ ment for all workmen. Roosevelt attempted to furnish employment for as many workmen as he eould, and those he could not give em ployment to he placed on, the dole relief with our government pay ing the bills. It makes 90 differ ence whether Roosevelt )s reelec ted in November or If a' republi can administration is - voted in again. The country will continue to go the same route with the na tional debt mounting j until it reaches the astounding sum of 40 or 50 billions of dollars; Neither of these major parties have a pay-as-we-go program. Rftosevelt's relief program will go oil until all eyes are turned to the Townsend plan to furnish employment for all workmen and pay off the huge national debt. If the fownsend plan is not made; into flaw this year, it will automatically become our only alternative later. The we adopt it the better; if we continue on. without adopting the Townsend plan until the national debt mounts to 45 or 50 billions of dollars we will f ind ! it . neces sary to raise the rate ofj the tran- : saction tax higher than how advo cated by Dr. Townsend; in order to pay off the huge national debt. It's taking us a long time to com prehend that the machine age is forcing our nation into bankruptcy- i i I Respectfully, !j R. D. TURPIN Mill City.
