Scout Drive
To Open Tuesday
Dr. Baxter, Judge Rossman
Add Their Endorsement
of Program Benefit ,
Dr. Brace Baxter, president of
' "Wlllsmette university, yesterday
' lauded the Boy Scout movement as
the annual financial drive In the
.; Salem district approached. .
. "I hare long been an advocate
of the program of scouting, hav
ing had the opportunity to see
something of its results both in
the United States and in foreign
countries," Dr. Baxter commented.
"I believe it meets a very definite
need on the part of teen-age boys.
I like not only the physical devel
opment which It stresses and the
very evident training in resource
fulness, but I am glad the leaders
have not left out of consideration
the need for reverence, which so
often we find sorely lacking.
have the keenest appreciation of
the time and effort put forth by
scout leaders throughout Cascade
area council and am glad to add
my personal word of commenda
tion for the entire movement,."
Judge George Rossman of the
supreme court joined with Dr.
Baxter and added that in fostering
the scout program he saw an op
portunity to reduce crime.
"A surprisingly large percent
age of the criminals of today are
mere boys," the judge pointed out
"They would not be criminals If,
three or four years ago, they had
received the proper training. The
boy . scouts of America are in a'
position to give the very training
that will prevent boys from be
coming criminals. We need to
reach not only the boys who come
from the better homes and the
homes of those "who are in mod
erate circumstances, but also t&e
boys who live 'near the gas house'
and 'across the railroad tracks.'
Very likely if the boy scouts can
substantially increase their in
come, boys in these neglected
areas will be reached, and if they
are reached it is a certainty that
their names will not be on the
docket of the criminal courts."
The 1937 scout budget, $4000
for the Salem district, has been
drawn up with the intention of
wiping out an old-standing deficit,
a promised accomplishment, ac
cording to Scout Executive James
E. Monroe. The drive here is be-

SYNOPSIS
Keith Sheldie knew he was let
ting Denise , Rendale down badly
when he did not offer to marry ber
noon learning her father had gone
bankrupt. However, there was
nothing he could do about it, for
wasn't he dependent on his wealthy
father? And for some unknown
reason, Sheldie, Sr., did 'not want
his son to marry. To do so, meant
being disinherited. Keith frankly
explains the situation to Denise.
Though disappointed and broken
hearted, she bravely faced him and
said: "Let's never see each other
again. Good-by I" At home, Denise's
sister, Felicia tries to console the
ormer In her matter-of-fact fash
on bv saying, This time next year
youll have forgotten him or near
enough. Didn't yon know X had a
broken heart once myself?" Then
elicia confides how she loved the
te Duane Fenton and, even on the
day of her marriage to Eustace
Gardiner Dayne, she hoped Duane
would hear her heart calling and
come to her. As an antidote for
Denise's heart-break, Felicia rec
ommends an early marriage to the
fabulously wealthy young .west
erner, Gilbert Windon, who hac
been hovering around Denise for
months. At first. Denise is in
dignant but later, when the mother
she adores comes in with tears cf
happiness in her eyes for the finan
cial aid Gilbert had given Mr. Ren
dale, Denise is in doubt as to just
what course to pursue. Gilbert
calls. He looked like Keithfaut
stronger, - less handsome. And
where Keith had played, Gilbert
bad worked and done much to in
crease the mining and lumber for
tune his grandfather had estab
lished. CHAPTER V
He had been East a great many
times before, at thirty-five, he de
cided he would like to spend a good
part ef his life there. That hap
pened at the precise moment when
at the house of his Eastern repre
sentative he first talked to Denise
Rendale, and she looked at him
kindly. If very remotely. Her mar
ried sister Felicia Dayne was much
easier to talk to, he discovered. He
wouldn't like his wife to be quite as
amiable!
For that thought, he occasionally
reproached himself as provincial.
Bein$ provincial had worried him
occasionally in his life, especially
in London, where they called it
"Colonial,- with an odd inflection.
He had regretted that his father's
plan to send him to Oxford had
never been earned out.
, The war had prevented. He had
served, absurdly young, with the
Canadians; and had come back to
find his father busy as ever, but
grown very old, almost feeble. He
refused to consider leaving him
again.
So his only education was at the
hands of the English tutor who had
accompanied his father and himself
about on their Journeys through
British Columbia and Alberta, east
to Saskatchewan, north to the Yu
kon. The tutor taught him the clas
sics well, taught him French with a
bad British accent, and English
literature superbly. Curious man,
that earnest young tutor, with his
determination plain never to show
surprise at the width of the open
spaces. . He left them shortly after
the war started, and died in his first
month at the front.
Gilbert Windon stared into a dim
Venetian mirror in Michael Ren
dale's drawing-room with an air of
surprise. Why should his thoughts
suddenly be full of his dead tutor,
and his boyhood when the Northwest
had seemed the " most glamorous
place on earth, and he thought him
self a kind of crown prince to an
Important dynasty?
He knew. why: Because, being
perfectly confident in himself, he
feared nothing of the judgment of
all the people he knew, except the
judgment of a slender blue-eyed girl
who might think him alien to her!

to Repent"
He had never regretted the sud
den moment when he had told Feli
cia. He simply had to tell some one,
while he watched Denise turn to that
worthless vounar Keith Sheldie with
her eyes shining, and turn to him
always with her eyes far off. And
Felicia had said Denise would never
marry Keith, that it was just "boy-and-girl
nonsense. Denise will out
grow him in a season."
It was in the summer in the coun
try that Felicia had said that He
was not sure about it The nuancet
of life by Long Island Sound were so
far removed from the simplicities by
Wueen unariotte's sound, j
Still, he had waited, traveling
West on a hurried trip, and worry
ing all the way lest Denise's engage
ment to Keith be announced while he
was gone, and traveling East again
wishing she would seem glad to see
Denise has dismissed Keith," Felicia told Gilbert,
him! Which she had not bat had
seemed just polite as usual.
He was glad Felicia had asked him
to help in her fatherl affairs. He
Uked Michael Rendale. who seemed
to him something like his own
father, but withouthis fire. Besides,
though he didnt want Denise to feel
she must be grateful, it seemed
somehow to bring them closer that
he'd been able to help. '
And now he was determined to
speak to her at last, because it
seemed te him that she and all her
family needed being taken care of
except Felicia, who, he appreciated,
was the sort that could always take
care of herself. t
.--That .determination had been with
him all day. and had not been af
fected at alL because it was so
strong anyway, by the fact that Feli
cia, swathed in silver foxes, put her
fr drawing-room door and
said: "I have news for 5 you, my
dear." j
He thought: "111 get Denise furs
lovelier IH choose the pelts
myself.", t
Felicia said: "Denise has dis
missed Keith." j .
You shouldn't tell me, you
know." , . ?
"I know; but dont look so moral
and Western about it I happen to
want yon for a brother-in-law."
He said, rather heavily: "I've
gathered that; but it's not clear to
me why." :

Building Program
Topic For Monday
(Continued from page 1)
the allotment Is regarded as of
doubtful value since the Jobs are
let by contract, and most of the
labor is skilled labor not on relief
rolls at present.
I Another item to be considered
Is the text of the law which pro
vides that the total cost of build
ings shall not be in excess of $550,
000. Interpreted literally ; this
would mean that a PWA grant of
45 per cent would be on this base.
and not 1 4 50,000 to match the
state's appropriation of $550,000
on a 45-55 ratio. There Is, how
ever, no restriction .as to the a-
mount to be expended for pur
chase of land, although only f 300
000 was appropriated, so any al
lotment from PWA for land pur
chase would supplement the state
appropriation.

A dimple showed by Felicia's
scarlet mouth. "Because you have
money, my sweet; and also because
you are a Iamb."
He was really angry, but that
pretty mocking woman did have the
ability to make him speak his mind,
he spoke it "Your sister would not
think of marrying me because X hap
pen to have money."
"Don't worry, darling. She cer
tainly wont marry yon at all if yon
look at her with that thunderous
face. Ifs nice you have money. Wo
all need it, except me. I get mine,
in the way of fancy gifts for sweet
smiles, from my husband's relatives.
Like this cape, which was from my
grandfather-in-law. I called on him
in a spring suit and told him I had
nothing suitable for his grand-daughter-in-law
to wear, to keep me
warm. Also I shivered a -little. He
worries about colds.
"Come to think ef it when you're
married to Denise, yon can give nse
beautiful presents too. of coarse.
YoaH be in the family.
"Felicia, why do you mock at
everything?"
She said In a hollow voice: "Ah,
I have a tragedy.- I danced with the
Prince of Wales once, and was never
able to forget him!" She blew him
a kiss and went on down the hall-'
way.
Mrs. Rendale came In a moment
later, and rather embarrassed him
by her gentle thanks. When he had
accepted her invitation to dinner,
she excused herself, saying : "Denise
will be down in a moment or two to
entertain you while I dress. She
went for a long walk and came home
rather tired. I expect she's resting
a bit before dinner."
His heart began to thump. On a
long Walk, no douBt, with that young
man of whom she was fond. And
something had happened between
them that Felicia knew. That some
thing might increase his chance.
He had met the Keith Sheldies of
the world. East and West, in Europe
and America. Well-dressed, well
mannered, inconsequential. But not
inconsequential if a woman one
loved, loved one ef them. ... He
heard footsteps in the corridor.

Ujf Used Headsets
Radio Equipment For New
T. B. Hospital Beds to ..
Be Provided, Plan t
Were 70a a wireless fan In the
early days of radio. Have yon
an old ear set that yon discarded
from those -early days? If yon
have, the Salem Active club would
like to know about It Not for
technical reasons but to benefit
persons who could use them now.
With the completion of the
new addition of the state tuber
culosis hospital there will be a
need tor between 75 and 80 radio
headsets for the new beds that
will be set np in the addition. To
aid in securing these sets the
Actirlans have set np an agency
for collecting old headsets which
c Vd be used in the hospital. The
hospital will have facilities tor
reception of four stations at one
time. i
For those who, because they
hare been attacked by the dread
disease, must lay in bed day after
day seeking rest and a cure, the
radio brings practically the only
outside contact with the world
and eases the long hours of con
finement. . v
For the aid of those sufferers
the Active club is appealing that
you, and you, and you, hunt In
the attic, dig around in the base
ment, or hunt in the back closet
to find that old, nnused set that
will ease the long hours In the
hospital and bring real Joy to the
tuberculoma patients at the state
hospital, that they may enjoy
brief moments of pleasure during
their stay at the Institution.
Notify Club, Asked
All that needs to be done is to
find the set, if you have it, then
dial 7812 and report having a
set and a member of the club will
call for It and see that It Is de
livered to the hospital for use
there.
Of course, if you were one of
those persons who didn't take to
radio when It showed on the hori
zon, and didn't buy one of those
sets which used to bring In the
first faint Inklings of music in
those long ago days, but would
still like to aid In bringing happi
ness to those afflicted persons in
state care, then you may contrib
ute to tho cause.

Housing Act Loan
Continued
U. S. National Will Offer
Same Terms Even if No
Federal Extension ' .
According to announcement
made by. D. W.-Eyre, manager of
the Salem ' branch. It will be the
policy of the. United, States Na
tional bank,' through Its statewide
service, to continue the making
of modernisation loans after April
1 on the same attractive terms
as made heretofore under title
one of the federal housing act.
So far. confirresa hn mid nn
provision for extending that
clause .of the housing act beyond
its termination date, March 31,
and officials of the United States
National feel that the present era
of building and - modernizing
should receiTe every encourage
ment at this time. ,. -
Therefore, through its local and
other branches the United States
National . bank ,wlll .-continue to
make loans for modernization of
properties and the purchase of
household equipment and ap
pliances. " . ' V
According to Paul S. Dick,
president of the United States
National, these loans have proved
extremely satisfactory with an
enviable record of repayment.
The United States National was
one of the first banks on the
Pacific coast to organize a mod
ernization loan ''department to
make loans under the housing act
and its active promotion resulted
in some 8,000 separate loans, be
ing made within the past two
years.
